Chapter 129 - Dorian Citadel (1/2)

In the civilization of the sun, Dorian Citadel, flocked numerous Usurpers and Warriors alike as they came and went to the facility or a place that they could call home.

Spanning kilometers in circle expansion, there were defensive arcane towers on the gigantic walls that separate the cruel world and what was within. Known for their crafting technology and rich amount of services from many business or third parties, this Citadel was mostly the go-to place for Usurpers and Adventurers to stock up their ration and equipment.

Invisible to many eyes, Ki soared the sky and gathered crucial information in anything and anywhere she goes. Using her ethereal manifestation, a deity like her could choose to hide underneath metaphysical comprehension or show herself in front of numerous people.

”So no 'marked' members of the secret organization can be detected in daylight. Weird, as if they didn't come from this world.”

She decided to go back to Domeniul Ceresc again to report the finding of this mysterious force that marched behind the Citadel's back. Just as when she passed the alleyway on her way to the northeast exit of the Citadel, a boy with one horn passed her ethereal body, chased by two people with weapons.

”How dare you steal from a Usurper! Come back here you little maggot!”

”Let us end your life nice and slow!”

Ki stopped for a moment as she glanced back at the event that unfolded in front of her.

”The boy didn't have any mana, yet he managed to purloin two Hollow Orb Usurpers. Pfft!”

Ki secretly attached her protection to the boy as she was curious about what would happen. As a Vassal Deity, she got a fair share of the divinity that her Master Deity gave. Using some portion of 'divine determination' she blessed the boy with a minor encouragement from the Lesser Minor Deity of the Curse, thanks to his achievement.

She then looked at the swirling divine energy of 'death' that was looming on her portfolio. Curious, Ki also used it to have those two pursuers the 'mark of death'.

It didn't do anything significant but the divine crest that was implanted on their soul attracted numerous things that will end their lives. MF taught her to use it beforehand and it certainly did the job well when paired with her curse, though Ki decided to not waste that much for a foreign boy.

”Good luck there!” She waved before leaving the Citadel.

In the alleyway where people could stretch their arms and touch the homes on both sides, these walls were built so very long ago. They are not the straight perfection of the modern buildings in the newer areas, but each curve and flaw renders them more beautiful still.

As light shone on the path for the little boy, a man suddenly appeared in his sight at the intersection.

The boy crashed at the tall man. Lanky and pale, the man showed an awkward smile to the boy that immediately got up and ran away.

”Kids these days.” Trying to sit down, he looked at the plastic bag with numerous bottles of beverages that got smashed down on the fall. He sighed at the sight. ”That is mana crystals down the drain.”

”Where is that hellish brat!?” One of the pursuers glanced to the left and saw the man sitting on the ground trying to light up his cigarettes.
