13 The Farm is a Warzone (2/2)

He was unaffected by it personally due to the passive of Toxic magic, he would make sure to take a sample of this youth though.

'He might hold some benefit to my skill advancing' thought Draig as became one with the fog turning into mist.

He circled around the group who had united with each other after his disappearance, he felt it was a good strategy. He wasn't going for all of them though, he only wanted one.

The tall youth was looking around warily for Draig but he hadn't realized his landscape was gradually changing the forest around them was turning quite dangerous as the lush green plants began to wither and more precocious types began to take their place.

The youth felt a chill as a hand was placed on his shoulder.

”You know I am quite hungry, would you mind treating me to a meal” stated Draig as they both disappeared from the spot leaving two spooked Guilders and a meek girl who was uncertain of what to do.

The two Guilders had decided to cut their losses and ran for it but were tripped by something, looking at the offending object they were frozen in place.

A husk was laying at their feet wearing a familiar set of attire, it was their former leader drained of his life essence. They started to shake unable to believe their situation had become so terrible, they wanted to run but those empty eye sockets of the husk kept staring at them.

”He was quite a generous fellow, treated me to such a decadent meal and even helped me confirm a few things I was having trouble with” stated Draig sitting next to the Guilders.

”Don't paladin's carry a sword on them” asked Draig

The youth froze and tried to explain but he didn't receive death like he initially thought.

”Empty your system storage, if I even think your hiding something I will leave you like your friend” said Draig his eyes showing no complacency.

Thinking this was there chance they immediately followed through and dumped everything on them save for a weapon.

Draig smiled before ripping the throat of the supposed paladin and turning to his friend.

”Now since he is out of the picture tell me what class are you” asked Draig bringing out his Bottomless bag and picking through the items to see what he had.

”I am just a rogue” said the youth until he too joined his friend.

Draig stared at the bodies, it was his first time killing humans but he didn't feel anything like he thought he would. He looked at them as if they were the same as the other races he had slaughtered, but he guessed that was what they were now. Just a lesser being
