“Kid, who are you really? And what the hell do you want?” The bartender asked.
“This one asked for my identity. Look at him now. You sure you want to ask it again?” Anon said, pointing towards Paul’s lifeless body.
“Okay, I won’t ask anything about your identity, but what is it that you want from us?” The bartender inquired.
“I want that succubus,” Anon declared, pointing towards Lilith.
“You can have her. Just spare our lives,” the bartender pleaded as he and his companions backed away from the succubus.
“What? You guys are going to leave me too? I gave you all of my money every damn time, and you are going to abandon me just like that?” Lilith questioned, hurt by their desertion.
“Lilith, the human is stronger than any of us. Didn’t you see what he did to Paul? I want to go to my children without getting hurt,” one of the beastmen reasoned.
“Lilith, you have to go with him, and we can’t do anything about it. Sorry,” the bartender spoke with a solemn expression.
With that, all of them exited the room.
“Seems like I can affect people’s minds by showing brutality,” Anon mused.
“You want to know about him, don’t you?” Lilith asked, her expression neutral as if something triggered in her mind.
“Hmm…?” Anon wondered what she was talking about.
“That guy, who Mav works for, right?” she continued.
“Oh, you know something about him?” Anon asked, genuinely surprised.
“Yes, he has blonde hair and wears glasses,” she disclosed.
“Here I thought that no one knows about this motherfucker. Tell me everything about him,” Anon demanded.
“I don’t know too much, but ten years ago, he started coming to this inn. Whenever he came, he would book me for the whole night. He had money, too much money. He always talked about weird stuff…”
“What weird stuff?” Anon interjected.
“Once he said that death should have no control over anyone. Everyone should be free from death, and that he would create something one day that will have no control of death over it.”
‘Well, he did create something similar,’ Anon pondered.
“He was always angry. Whenever I asked him what happened, he always said one thing. Experiment Z-09 failed again. I never wanted to ask him what that was because we have a policy—just lighten the customer’s mood, don’t get into their private shit.
He came to the inn regularly for three months. Every night, he would have sex with me all night long, not even giving me time to rest, and then he would leave early in the morning. But before leaving, he always collected my cum in a small glass bottle.
After three months, he stopped coming to the inn. Two months passed quickly, but I never saw him again. Just when I thought I’d never see him again…
Suddenly, one day, he came to the inn with blood all over his clothes. Not his blood.
When I asked him what happened, he looked at me with a menacing smile. Those eyes, I can never forget them. It’s like he has found the keys to destroy the world… He only said two words to me that day and left the inn… Without even having sex.” Lilith recounted.
“What two words?” Anon asked with curiosity.
“He said…. ‘Experiment successful.’ and left. Then the next day, he came back with Maverick, my brother, and proposed a deal to both of us. We both would give him our cum daily, and he would pay us money in return.” Lilith added.
“Did he ever tell you clearly what experiment he was working on?” Anon inquired.
“No, he never talked about what experiment he was conducting. But when I saw him last time, he had a photo in his hands that he left here.”
“What photo? Show me,” Anon said.
‘Master..’ Mike contacted Anon through psychic connection.
‘Yes, Mike. Is there a problem?’ Anon asked.
‘Yes, master. This place is about to blow up. An explosive spell just got triggered. We have 20 seconds to leave. The explosion will destroy everything in a one-kilometer radius.’ Mike reported.
‘Okay, take that incubus and get out of the building. You too, Silkky.’ Anon commanded.
‘Yes, master.’ Both Mike and Silkky responded.
“Let’s go,” Mike said as he grabbed Maverick from his chair and hoisted him up.
“H-Hey… Where are you taking me? Ahhhh-”
Mike swiftly ran and leaped out of the window.
Silkky exited through the front door.
“We have to leave,” Anon said as he picked up Lilith in his arms like a princess.
“W-What? H-Hey, I am a girl; you can’t do that…” Lilith protested, her face turning red.
‘What a strong human? He picked me up just like that. Will he now put me to bed and awww… I can’t think properly; my body is going into heat,’ Lilith’s thoughts raced with embarrassment.
Anon jumped out of the room’s window with Lilith in his arms.
<Pheonix Ignition>
Anon activated the skill, and his whole body was engulfed in fire. When he landed on the ground, he sprinted out of the royal capital with incredible speed. In just three seconds, Anon covered a distance of about 5 kilometers from the inn.
When he stopped and turned back, he noticed Mike following closely behind.
Boom
Suddenly, the inn exploded, and a cloud of smoke billowed around the burning structure, reminiscent of an atom bomb’s aftermath.
“This fucker. Was it always there, Mike?” Anon asked.
“No, master. Someone planted the magical explosion seals. When the array was completed, I immediately sensed it and warned you. It was a medium explosion array, which is why it took so much time to activate,” Mike explained.
“So, he was there,” Anon observed as he gazed at the inn reduced to ashes.
“Yes, master. The activator had to be nearby when he activated this array,” Mike confirmed.
“Oi, are you alright?” Anon inquired of Lilith. But when he looked at her, he noticed that she had lost consciousness due to the speed of his skill, <Phoenix Ignition>.
[Mana has been depleted to 10%. Mana fatigue will start now.]
Anon immediately summoned a Special Grade mana potion and drank it.
