Vol 3 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Rogue Journey Book 03 - Spectre, Sleeping on My Chest - Chapter 1 - A Gathering of FoolsChapter 1 – A gathering of foolsWhen the incident occurred——Majic took three cans out froe, he put the cans onto a plate, then addedat the edges of the can with the can opener, this was a habit of his
There was some text on the cans that Majic didn’t understand, he was concentrating on getting the canned meat ready to eat He couldn’t open it, so he took a screwdriver and tried that instead, he then took a look around——round The nearest road was only a fewthe road The fire glowed in the dark, Majic intended to enjoy his dinner
“I hope I’ht”
He said to himself He then raised his small chin
“Cleo could have easily made the food——if she had the proper equipment and supplies, she wouldn’t be half bad——as for Master, he should have been back with that firewood”
His young red face reseirls He was about fourteen years old, but his hair wasn’t long like Cleo’s, it was short and blond, and looked golden whenever the sun would shi+ne on hiives hih, the black sorcerer clothing her wears isn’t appropriate for hiue
He finally got the can open, but it was lumpy pea soup Majic didn’t really mind, so he slowly heated it over the fire, he waited a couple of minutes for it to heat up
Suddenly, footsteps were here behind him, followed by a sharp cry
“Ah——!”
Majic’s body shi+vered all over, he was too afraid to run away Sure enough, a blonde girl was staring right at hiry expression
“Cleo——“
She acted like she didn’t hear him
“What are you doing?! Today isdinner without us?”
Even though Majic didn’t really want to eat thisto say to her
“Ah, well, I was just——“
He lifted his hands into the air, and looked at her She earing a pair of dirty jeans, her shi+rt was sleeveless and it had a yellow butterfly pattern on it These clothes were obviously bought by Orphen, and it seemed he forced her to wear them
“You were too slow, I didn’t want to wait any longer Should I have waited?”“Slow? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I didn’tby that……”
Cleo’s face was full of anger, she was always one to let her eave Majic a headache But, Orphen always tolerated her, ht
“Were you trying to imply that I’m slow?!”
Cleo moved closer to hiht hand to defend himself, but that didn’t workWhen the incident occurred, Orphen was gathering firewood in the forest, he was quite a far bit away froe
Even though he went into the forest, he kneouldn’t be able to escape Cleo’s cooking——Orphen and Majic always found her food hard to s Even before she had started cooking, they had never tasted anything worse
That’s why Orphen choose to go into the forest
Standing in thehis usual black clothes, and a scarf tied around his head Though, he wasn’t armed, for a black sorcerer doesn’t rely on arical capabilities However, when his h, he can use one of the twelve weapons he keeps concealed on his body
Generally, when sorcerers were going into heavy battle, they would use different types of coht Orphen, like most sorcerers, love to wrap theives the places to place either defensive or offensive weapons, like chains, knives etc Even though Orphen’s skills were sometimes for hire, he never considered hi skills purely for the acquisition of wealthSomeone would only be able to identify what Orphen was by his pendant, the syon wrapped around a sword, this proves that he is a black sorcerer
Then——
Orphen stopped in his tracks
“So”
“Is that so?”
A woman’s voice came from the woods, then she appeared in front of hi a black corset
“Are you, Orphen?”
“Who’s asking?”
Orphen observed the woman in front of him——her hair was black and soft, she had a very attractive body, a thin face with red lips, her ue at him
“My name is Hirietta, did you receive my letter?”
Orphen pulled a letter from his pocket
The woman——Hirietta, smiled and nodded
“Here it is”
“I’ you’ve read it”
“I want a straightforward answer”
Orphen stared at her
“What business do you ith me?”
“You know……”
Right after Hirietta said that——a flash of silver light fleards Orphen, it missed him by an inch
Orphen then saw her take out a large knife, he took a defensive posture
(This woman——)
Orphen’s heart beated intensely, as he avoided Hirietta’s knife attack This was the second tiain, Orphen took a defensive stance She ca to splatter on the trees, it was blood——
Orphen’s breathing was erratic, he was thinking about why this was happening
(Did Ostwald hire this assassin?)
Although this was only a guess, he had no time to ponder
(I can just see thepaper, “Orphen versus the assassin”——damn it, I won’t end up as a papers headline!)
He waved his right hand towards the woman, and shouted:
“Aertips!”
Suddenly, a wall of co, Hirietta jumped backwards Usually, ordinary people don’t have special weapons to attack sorcerers, however——
(The assassin is unlike any other, she predicted my move)
When soenerally rely on underhanded tactics or traps Once in a trap, and if you don’t have time to escape, the result is death(I didn’t expect to be fighting such a skilled opponent)
Orphen knew that he didn’t stand a good chance of winning, he was thinking of a way to escape
(No ——I can’t fall for it)
“Guideof Death!”
A huet louder, the ground started to treled to stand up, she was then struck with an electric shock and sent turound
She remained motionless
……The forest was calain, but Orphen remained in a defensive posture, he watched the assassin lying on the ground
“Hey, is that all you’ve got?”
Orphen reilant
“I know you aren’t knocked out, or do you think I’m stupid?”
Sure enough, after a few seconds, she slowly sat up She wiped the blood off her mouth with her leather sleeve, then she picked up the knife“If my attack lasted a few more seconds, you would have fallen unconscious”
Orphen smirked
“But even so, after such a direct hit, you shouldn’t be able to use you’re full strength”
“Want to bet?”
Hirietta said, as she jued to deflect her attack, but this sent hi backwards
“How is this possible——!”
(She shouldn’t have been able to attack head on, the barrier was still up Even a horse would faint, never mind a person——)
He didn’t have ti another attack Orphen pushed another thoughts of escape froht He rushed to her side, stretched out his hand and shouted:
“I tear thee, wall of the earth!”
He created a vacuu hi ind struck the assassin Such an attack would nor branches However——The shock wave bounced off and hit a nearby tree, there wasn’t even a mark on her clothes But her head struck a nearby tree, this left her with a slight concussion, she looked dazed, her legs were shaky
(Intriguing……)
Orphen said inside hi“Don’t blame me if you die”
He stuck out his right hand towards her
“Sword of Light, whom I do release!”
A torrent of white light flew from his hand, the intense heat struck Hirietta in the lower abdomen, then it exploded, flames were sent everywhere Fire and dust filled the air, then it dispersed, but——the assassin was unharmed The explosion made her hold down on her lower abdoed, there wasn’t even a scratch
“damn, I can’t believe it——”
Orphen cured under his breath
“You’re clothes are very strange”
“That’s correct——and your attacks can’t dae me directly”
The assassin replied, staggering from the impact of the previous attack She used a knife to cut a piece of her hair which was burnt by the fire, the she took a step forward
Orphen thought he heard Majic’s voice approaching the scene
