"So that's how it is" Aiden nodded in understanding after listening to Jet Stream recount the current situation. The other party was bound by the *Chain of Erebus* as such, he was completely helpless and could only do as Aiden told him to Well, that was if he still had regard for his life. "These two strange men. Did they reveal the reason why they want to destroy the rune matrix imprint in this town" he asked. "Perhaps the Commander knows. However he just told us that great reward lies after we break through the Rune Matrix imprint" Jet Stream explained. "Hm.. so let me get this straight.. your gang led a manslaughter in this town, all so they could break a Rune Matrix imprint?" Aiden shook his head. How could the thick stench of blood hovering in the air escape his sharp nose? Although he didn't pride himself as a killer, he couldn't deny the fact that he had killed more then ten people in the last two weeks. However he had to admit that the actions of the Silver Tooth Tig
In the face of Aiden's sudden question, Kaito merely sneered. "And who the hell are you? how come my men stationed outside let you come here huh?" he asked a question of his own. "They didn't have a choice.. because they couldn't even guard their own lives" Zipp! Just then, a blood red pin streaked through the air. Before Kaito could react, it had already sliced through a few inches of the flesh on his left cheeks before returning back to Aiden as it danced above the back of the palm. "Plus I asked you a question just now. It's not in your place to reply me with a question of your own" he said cooly. "You little shit? who do you think you are?!" the expression on Kaito's face wrapped with rage. However Aiden seemed to have forgotten about his existence as he took brisk but steady steps forward, approaching the cage where Tasha was held captive. "After I take her to a safe place, I am going to have you killed for hurting her" he warned calmly.. It wasn't that he was being ru
"That Hex.. you are using Slyphile Spear! How is that even possible?!" Kaito gasped as he recognized the pale green spear in Aiden's grip. It couldn't be helped since this was the trademark technique one of his most capable subordinates used. "You have the lightning Mojo and the Wind mojo. So you have an Innate talent!" his eyes sparked with envy. When Rio heard this, his brows shot up. Someone possessed dual mojos just like him?! "This is merely the tip of the iceberg of what I can do" Aiden chuckled as he swung the pale Green spear towards Kaito. Wind Slicing Blade. A crescent arc made out of destructive wind energy shot towards Kaito. Judging by the speed of its movement and the sharp edges, it could easily shatter the flesh and bones of a regular human. The Sentries from the Inner Mountain Guild who were serving as by standers couldn't help but grimace. They could feel the threat this attack opposed. "You are Indeed a Gamma Warrior" Kaito mumbled in a solemn tone. Altho
"And how sure am I that you are not tricking me? the box might have a restriction on it for all I know" Kaito sneered. "Didn't you want the peerless treasure? now it's right in front of you yet you are too scared to claim it?" Lennox scoffed with a mocking tone. "Hmpfh. It won't hurt to be cautious" Although Kaito said this, he took a few steps forward as he approached the transparent curtain. Wielding the bone, he swung it towards the floating box. Bang! However to Kaito's delight, nothing happened as the floating box fell right to solid ground, resulting in a loud thud. As soon as the box fell to the ground, the transparent curtain vanished, revealing the silver colored spinning vortex. Within the vortex was a key.. a silver colored key about the size of a grown man's thumb. "The spatial imprint" Lennox couldn't hide the excitement in his tone as he grabbed towards the silver colored key. However a red blur streaked past him, knocking the key into Aiden's waiting grasp.
"You must be like me right.." Lennox chuckled as he took approaching steps towards Aiden. "Who sired you?" he further asked. "Why would you want to know?" Aiden didn't deny.. In any case, he was currently in disguise. So even if his identity as a Vampire got revealed, the one who would end up being implicated was Red Suit the Mercenary, not Aiden Skyfall. "Your emit a very strong aura. That means who sired you isn't a small timer. However it won't make any difference. You are not a Noseferatu. Your life and death wouldn't be of any concern " after dropping this sentence, all Aiden saw was a blurry figure fade into the atmosphere. Bang! A pale white fist appeared in front of his face, landing accurately on his nose. The force caused Aiden to stagger a bit. However he didn't fall. "Is that all you're worth? I thought you'd be somewhat strong " Aiden sneered as he wiped off the red blood that had just trickled down his nose. "You are not bad either " Before Aiden could move his
"Damnit" from within the human sized crater on the wall Lennox slowly rose up to his feet The cloak he wore was now wrapped in a thick layer of dust while red blood trickled down his lips as his left hand was wrapped around his stomach. Due to Rio's sudden attack, he suffered a serious backlash. He was no longer in the condition to fight. "I'll get that key from you. Mark my words" as soon as he spat these threats, he blurred only to appear at the exit of the hall as he fled out. "You won't be going anywhere" Aiden gave chase. The other party ended up killing Tasha. Although he didn't share a close relationship with her, he had missed out from the juicy quest rewards now that she was dead. He was dead set on getting his revenge. After Aiden gave chase, the whole hall plunged into silence. A moment ago in the face of Lennox strength, many of them had already begun saying their last prayers. Who would've thought that a single well timed attack would turn the whole situation aroun
Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of rain dripping loudly on the grass broke the solemn silence within a fairly large cemetery. All around the cemetery were silver colored erected pillars; tombstones of those who had been buried there in the past. Huddled before one of such tombstones was a group consisting of about twenty individuals, all dressed in black while holding umbrellas as they shielded themselves from the downpour. If one looked closely enough, they would be able to spot the vivid characters on the surface of the tombstone that read 'In the Memory Of A Beloved Daughter and Friend.. Tasha Ravenloth.... "You didn't go for Tasha's funeral?" Aiden who was standing besides the window in his bedroom turned towards the door as Butler Nicholas made his way in. It had been two days since Tasha's death. Today was a Saturday and the day her funeral was held. "It wasn't like we were close or something" Aiden grunted as he retraced his gaze from the Butler. "Maybe" Butler Nicholas
Boom! Boom! Thud.. Landing on the rocky surface, Aiden stared at the corpse of the Feind race member laying at his feet as he let out a sigh. After that night incident, Aiden had thought about a lot of things and decided that it was best to give Kaine, the Blood Reapers Gang and infact the whole world a break. Thanks to his encounter with Lennox, he came to realize that the world wasn't how many people thought it was. Sure he had a system that could grant him the ability to steal others abilities. But even with the many abilities at his arsenal, he couldn't prevent the death of Tasha. Although the both of them were not that close prior to her death, he had mistakenly marked her. That meant she was his responsibility even if she never knew that. As such watching her die right before his eyes hit him very badly. He felt like a total idiot who was too weak to protect the ones dear to him. As such to clear his head, he spent more than half of his days going on a rampage within th
