Two hooded figures walked towards the black market entrance. These two figures were also wearing blank masks to hide their identity.
‘…I feel like shit.’
Thought Alan, one of the two. He didnt like wearing this mask…it reminded him of a certain someone he hated. Lucas tried very hard to convince him to wear the mask.
“Remember, we can’t expose our identities.”
Lucas reminded him once again. It would be a big blow to their reputations if word got out it was them. The organizations they were part of, The Twilight Guild and Hiddelstone Family had enemies…enemies that would use everything they could get to attack them.
“I heard you. Stop it.”
Alan was tired of listening to Lucas remind him again and again. It didnt feel great. .𝒎
“Remember the plan? We cause Chaos at first, but then you go and find the owner of the black market who most likely has the information. She’s a woman who wears a Vixen mask and dresses scantily. She also has guards around her. Shouldn’t be hard.”
Lucas explained the plan once again. And Alan Silently listened.
Finally, they reached the Black Market entrance, and once Lucas knocked the specific pattern, A rough voice was heard from behind.
“What Business do you have here?”
“A customer seeking the services of the Darkness.”
Alan cringed behind the mask as Lucas said the password. He had heard it before so he really wondered why did someone decide on that?
The Metal gate opened and Lucas and Alan entered…And just as they were descending the stairs, two metal chains with spiked ends erupted from Lucas’s clothes and pierced the hearts of the two guards at the entrance. Their bodies fell to the ground as soon as Lucas retracted the chains. Alan swiftly blocked the entrance…also known as the Exit with A Wall of Ice.
*Thud*
“Now…Let’s cause chaos.”
‘And test this new power of mine.’
Said and thought Lucas respectively.
*******
It wasn’t a good sight.
“AAAAA!”
Screams accompanied by blood and intestines rang out through the market. Slave traders and the monsters present were killed brutally by Alan and Lucas.
Lucas himself seemed to be enjoying this! He stood on top of a dead monster as he controlled his chains coated with Aura to rampage around the area.
Alan himself also killed quite a few people there. If they attacked him he would kill them.
Furthermore, IT wasn’t just like that. Alan was raining down Ice spikes which caused further chaos and Lucas was also breaking the Earth all around and making an even more mess of the place. he was also chucking random Thunderbolts whilst laughing like a maniac.
He was enjoying this, Whilst Alan was just silently causing chaos. Multiple guards had come to stop them, and half of them were ice statues and the rest had holes in their chests and were missing heads.
*KHUK*.
A skull-shattering sound was heard as Alan stepped down on the head of a guard with full force, splattering his brain matter all over Alan’s foot.
“RUN!”
Nearly everyone here was a scumbag, so there weren’t really any moral Implications in doing so…Well Alan didnt really care if he killed some humans here. They were basically insects to a dragon. Whilst Lucas…
“HAHAHA! SEE THIS NEW POWER?! HAHA FEEL THE LIGHTNING BURN YOU!”
*CRACKLE!*CRACKLE*
Was Lucas.
Suddenly, something caught Alan’s eye. He saw cages filled with Monsers and human slaves.
Some were humans, some were demihumans, and some were monsters. All of them were trapped and malnourished.
Alan killed the few who resisted and walked over to the cages. Contrary to the thoughts of the humans and demihumans who thought that the masked man was here to release them…Alan just walked past them and stood in front of a cage holding a reptilian monster.
The monster, known as a Shock Lizard, was dying. severely malnourished and it looked at Alan with tired eyes, waiting to be killed.
“Save us! Please!”
“Please Release us saviour!”
“Shut up.”
Alan shut the humans and demihumans who begged him to save them by freezing their entire bodies along with their cages, and he looked at the Lizard once again.
Its eyes, longing for hope and possessing a desperate will to live… It resonated with Alan for some reason. It felt like he was gazing into its eyes.
He opened the cage forcefully, crushing the metal with his bare hands. The cage is specifically designed to hold monsters crumbled under the might of a baby dragon.
He went to the lizard and held his arm out.
“Eat it, Drink my blood.”
He didnt know why…but he just had an Idea that it would work. That it would free this poor being of its suffering.
He put his hand inside the monster’s mouth after cutting his palm. His blood dropped into the monster’s tongue, and then it swallowed it.
He didnt know why…but the Lizard’s eyes changed…changed into eyes that were at peace…before dying.
‘…It died.’
A peaceful death, it was starving, and Alan fed it his own blood, which fulfilled it. It was the blood of a dragon. The Lizard was too unworthy to absorb the blood…but at least it had died peacefully.
How funny, He showed more compassion to a lizard than a Human.
“…”
Alan was silent as he stared at the Lizard’s corpse.
[Supreme dragon of Chaos Suleras says that it died a peaceful death. It was nearing the end of its life and having devoured a dragon’s blood was an honor for its entire species.]
Alan silently heard Suleras’s message. What knocked him out of his daze was Lucas’s yell.
“HEY! THERE! YOU BUFFOON!”
Alan turned his head to see Lucas pointing somewhere. Alan didnt question it before immediately going towards that position in an instant. he didnt even use teleportation his seed was just that great. He broke into the building floor and saw a peculiar scene inside. A scantily dressed woman wearing a Vixen mask standing on top of a magic circle made of blood. Two guards, stronger than the ones outside were also present. But even they were not enough to stop Alan. They rushed at him but were killed instantly by Alan. The woman hurriedly put her mana into the circle and caused it to glow…but all was interrupted by Alan grabbing her throat and slamming her into the ground, breaking the mask she had on as well.
“GAH!”
The ground shattered like glass under Alan’s strength, and the woman coughed up blood.
“Your the boss here…”
Alan said, his grip on her throat loosened a bit. It was so she could speak.
“The abandoned warehouse west of the Black Market, why did it receive a shipment of illegal goods…and monsters made of human flesh?”
The woman’s eyes widened as she heard ‘monster’. And Alan let out a smile hidden behind the mask. She knew. She knew of the shipment.
“..If you know that then… Tell me something else.
Who caused the dungeon break incident in the Aror mall? The sudden appearance of a chaos being is not natural.”
The woman remained quiet. Alan used his other hand and formed covered his fingers with frost energy and dug them inside the woman’s stomach.
He released the energy inside her slowly…slowly in the form of thorns of ice which tormented the woman. Illusory tails of a fox appeared and attacked Alan from the woman but it was of no use.
It didnt work on Alan. The woman, who was a pretty strong awakened couldn’t do anything.
“WHO CAUSED THE AROR MALL INCIDENT?!”
Alan screamed, his spit fell on the woman’s face as her face contorted at the pain of the frost vines rampaging inside her body. Alan was keeping it under control so she could speak but was slowly raising the intensity.
“I don’t…know what you’re talking about.”
She said with difficulty…but it didnt work.
“Bullshit. Multiple Items containing chaos energy were being shipped and here and a CHAOS elemental had appeared…Doesn’t the black market know everything?”
The sound of the thorns of ice slithering inside her body was vicious. They were cutting up her body from the inside. she was bleeding from every orifice on her now. Yet Alan still made sure she could speak.
“We…Cannot…say an-”
“Fine, then die a painful death!”
He knew that maybe…she didnt know it. But he was desperate for answers. In his mind…She had to know! Multiple items of chaos were being shipped here…she HAD TO KNOW!
He increased the intensity bit by bit…and the woman was slowly losing her sanity from the pain.
Slowly…she was dying. A very…very painful death. The thorns of ice were slowly reaching her brain…and it was not painless. The thorns cut and mushed her intestine up. An awakened would have died long ago…but somehow she was still alive. It was as if she had a healing factor which was a blessing and a curse as well now.
“DODGE!”
Suddenly, Lucas’s shout was heard. And before Alan could react something slammed into him and sent him flying.
The person that had slammed into him fed his comrade, the woman a potion before his body transformed slightly. Claws and white hair appeared on his body as he grew taller and more vicious.
“Take care of the other one. I will handle him.”
He said to his comrade, before launching himself at Alan. Who responded in kind. Rushing towards him as well.
