40 「Six Dead Arms」 (1/2)

Her hand crept over from her side and onto his leg. Renner was expecting something stiff, something hard as diamond. The Kingdom's strongest warrior's blade had broken on his neck. Yet when she squeezed his leg, it felt like the flesh of man.

Renner's eyes were wide as she stared forward. How was this even possible, she thought. The world around her wasn't like it was only moments before he had entered her life.

She moved her head to look at him, both of their eyes met. Though he had a brow raised and a very confused expression coupled with an inquisitive gaze as to why she was touching his leg with her petite 'golden' hand. Was this some sort of advancement towards him?

”I uh...” Renner shrunk away from him slightly with a slight blush on her face.

Ninya glanced over towards the two, a brow of her own raised seeing the Princess blushing under her boyfriend's gaze. She only blinked a few times before lightly nudging him in the side, tapping against the armor which encased his chest area.

”Hm?” Jack looked over towards Ninya as she reached over and snatched a handful of popcorn, stuffing her face. A slight grin formed over his lips as she smiled all big at him. A childish act? It seemed a bit more spontaneous and less humble than usual.

”So what is the plan? Wait until they do something?”

Jack took in the expression written in her eyes. She wanted his attention, and this was one way to get it. Acting like a good was one way to not only be entertaining, but definitely get him to smile.

”If they do try anything Sebas can handle it,” Momonga said as he dismissed this question as nothing of note. Which was pretty much true, but it was a question that had meaning behind it.

”The idea is to see who shows up,” He'd gesture towards the Constable and Succulent, the illusionist. ”And then when they leave, we follow them back to their base. Thanks to that Sensory Organ, we'll be able to see them even if they decide to go into a building.”

”So… It's like a predator watching from the tall grass, watching as its prey leads it to their herd.” Renner butted in with her metaphor, leaning forward to look over at them.

”In a manner of speaking.”

Jack glanced over towards her. She had gotten closer again and he was shifting uncomfortably on the couch. Normally he would have no problem with someone of her caliber coming closer to him, but knowing her personality and how she views Climb. He was disturbed by her behavior and read into the little things only to proceed into turning them into things that weren't there.

Munching on the popcorn, Ninya locked eyes with the Princess for a few seconds before looking up to Jack who was trying to keep his cool while looking forward.

Opening her mouth to say something, she was interrupted when she heard the door in the surveillance open and close. Her eyes quickly shifted to the moving image. Her eyes tracing over Succulent and the Constable which was in league with the Eight Fingers.

It was pretty horrible to see how corrupt this Kingdom was from this point. She was beginning to wonder how he was going to clean it up. Her eyes slowly moved over towards him, she wanted to ask, but now didn't seem like the best of times.

Jack was too into the projection, watching as the two of them stuck together for a little while before separating. Succulent went into a building and in through a basement until they proceeded into an underground tunnel system.

Seeing how large this system was pretty much amazed just about everyone. It must have taken hundreds of people to make it. Let alone a year or a few to get it made without anyone knowing.

Renner was also rather surprised, but not as surprised as the others. She suspected that they had a way to move around unseen from the naked eye without being seen.

Succulent lead them right to the Six Arms Warehouse and then to the Eight Fingers headquarters. All of which was inside the City. It was amazing how these people could get away with such things so close to the Palace. The corruption has definitely taken over this Kingdom, and it was about time to purge it.

If they hadn't been in the middle of the city, Jack may have well just dropped a meteor on them. He was actually thinking of doing that with the Slane Theocracy, but chose not to considering the fact that they likely had wellspring of artifacts and items from players that once roamed the lands before their sudden arrival to this New World.

Yawning slightly though, this was getting to be a bit too easy.

Once there was a meeting at the headquarters for about an hour, then all movement practically ceased. That was until the entire city was draped under the cover of night. No stars were in the sky tonight, no natural light.

Then just as Jack was about to stand up, there was movement.

In front of the mansion which Sebas, Tuare and Epsilon were staying at the Six Arms made their appearance. Six figures all together, with a few stragglers which appeared to be their minor members, were all forming around the courtyard.

Their target was obviously Sebas and the women who were likely being kept out of sight. At least that is what they thought. As the women weren't there, well that was all except for Tuare and the Butler.

Jack just huffed slightly seeing the undead being known as Davernoch talking about being the King of the Undead. ”But he can't even control the other undead like a King. He's the weak-link.” The way he whined this out sounded as if he was watching some sort of soap opera or drama, where a character expects and assumes way too much of themselves.

Momonga just chuckled at this, watching as Jack walked closer to the screen.

”I want to wipe them out myself...” He muttered quietly before looking over towards Ninya and the others. ”I'll be right back.” With a snap of his fingers, he vanished without a trace.

Within less than a second though, he resurface standing behind the Six members of the Six Arms.
