123 Troublesome Dao (1/2)
The figures keeping an eye on Ryuu were none other than his older sisters who had keeping an eye on Ryuu's progress. The watched as Ryuu skillfully created a distraction in order to poison the bandits which pleased them greatly as Antariskh spoke, ”it seems that brother's performance is really praise worthy he has till now performed splendidly.”
At that the others nodded in affirmation to her.
Ryuu climbed the tallest building as he took a glance around the area so far he has yet to find anything that resembled a holding cell of any kind as such he had no idea where he has to search for, he knows that he had blundered a lot by coming here without any help, there are too many enemies and his best bet is that he will wait after the poison had worked its magic after that he will strike while coming to this tower he had eavesdropped a few times as such he knew a few things about the fort like the top of the tallest building is actually the office of the head honcho of this group of marauders as such he decided to take a peek inside maybe he will find the location where the people of Tardide were held.
Ryuu opened the window and slipped inside he was so grateful for the flexibility of the armor his teachers were really a miracle worker the type of armor he had on him were unsuitable for this kind of job they are normally restrictive but also they make an awful amount of noises enough to alert the entirety of the fort.
With a smile he slipped inside the dimly lit room but as he towards the desk to check the documents lying on it, he suddenly felt the presence of another as the sound of jingling chains came to his ears he griped the hilt of his sword hard and he spun around in order to decapitate the enemy only to freeze his sword already on the neck of the person as he took a sharp breath, as standing in front of him was Estelle someone whom he treated as his little sister during the time spend together passed together his first friend from Tardide, the memories of him spending time with Estelle went through his head as he lowered his weapon as he gave a smile his heart was elated on seeing the visage of his 'little sister', ”Sister I came se….”, his joy came to an abrupt halt as he looked at Estelle, as she stood naked her body had various bruises, moreover she had a leash on her neck but what caused Ryuu'sjoy to end was Estelle's eyes her big ocen blue eyes full of life were dull they were better suited to be on a dead person not someone so young.
Ryuu spoke in a fearful vice, ”Sister what happened to you?”, as he inched towards her Estelle suddenly dropped to her knees as she latched on to his pants trying to pull them, ”Master…..how I should please you today”, came the monotone voice from Estelle.
Ryuu caught her hands as he looked at her as he spoke, ”Estelle it is me your big brother Ryuu,please come back to your senses.”
No matter what Ryuu said he was unable to save Estelle from the madness her mind was too broken for Ryuu to help her no matter what he tried Estelle spoke like a broken toy and by now Ryuu was reduced to tears he hugged her tightly as he kept apologizing her profusely, ”I am sorry, I am sorry”, was what came out of Ryuu's mouth but no matter how he said sorry Estelle never paid any attention to him while Ryuu learned the full implication of his actions as the words of the mad man he met at Tardide hit him full force.
Unknown to Ryuu the head of the bandit had arrived just then a good number of men had fallen poison and he was sure he smelt a rat as such he raced to his office to procure the antidotes in order to save his men and then to find the culprit and skin him alive, the scene in front of him made his blood boil as such he thrust his bardiche with the full force of a 'low Primal Daoist', the bardichewent through Estelle as it hit Ryuu who was thrown from the kneeling position and hit the wall with a loud bang.
The armor on his body was a strong one it protected Ryuu from being skewered by the weapon but such was not the case with Estelle who was now reduced to bits and pieces the largest piece being her head which fell near Ryuu's head. Ryuu looked at the man and uttered the single word, ”why?”
The man spat out in disgust as if he was speaking to the vilest thing in existence, ”Why? You dare ask why it is simple you polluted my item by touching it that's why. The only person from that backwater village who caused the most trouble while breaking them, well I was tired of her and I would have disposed her like the rest eventually.”, he studied Ryuu for a little bit before he smiled and spoke mockingly, ”You must be 'Ryuu' right the brat used to scream how you would come to save them and what not she saw you as the 'Hero' who would save them, until I broke them and killed them when they grew stale and now the 'Hero' will die for crossing paths against I next life learn to pick your enemies.”, he looked at distraught Ryuu mocking before he went for the kill.
Shamiran meanwhile gave a disappointed look, ”Well time to rescue the brat, it was failure and now we have to listen to our parents nagging at us.”, as she was about to move she was stopped by Antariskh, ”I don't think so look.”
As the spear neared Ryuu he caught it by his hand hard, the assailant no matter how hard he tried could not make Ryuu release it as such he tried to used a mid rank 4 skill 'Flaming spear' on Ryuu.
Meanwhile with the sisters Antariskh looked with a smirk as she spoke, ”Our old man may be old but he is not senile enough to raise a dog.”
As loud explosion destroyed the entire upper floor of the building as a figure flew out of the explosion.
