Chapter 115: 115. Leaving the City (2/2)

”Oi Gaap, you okay.”

As the blade tapped on Gaap's shoulder, he fell back with his eyes rolled up as he had passed out. Patric was shocked and pointed his lantern at the ground to see what his pal had been looking at.

However,

What he saw immediately turned his stomach upside down as he felt everything he has eaten and drank was fighting its way out through the wrong hole.

The ground all around them was covered in bloody fresh body parts from several demons and blood, goo, and brain matter were splattered all over the ground.

”What... What the hell happened here!”

—The next morning

As the sun forced its first rays through the thick ashen clouds, Tyler and Nadine promptly left the inn for the final time this week. They did not take any public or private transportation this time around as they opted on using their eye-catching carriage, heading straight for the city's gate right here in the west borough.

This was the day he had agreed he would meet up with the Hunter party that called themselves, Unrivaled. He also needed to find out more about the mission before they would head out of the city to complete the task.

The job the party had vaguely explained to him didn't seem like it would be legal and while Tyler hadn't originally not mind due to him wanting to be introduced to the underground society of this city. With the events that occurred last night, that was no longer an issue but Tyler still needed to accept this job because he urgently required a whooping sum of more than 30,000 DC so he could not afford to decline their mission no matter how troublesome it turns out to be.

Tyler was wearing a jet black long coat with red threads that designed its edges and a hood that was draped over his head and almost completely hid his face as he was now accustomed to doing although there was someone that may or may not be a man out there and was aware of his appearance.

If he was lucky, the man would not be able to tie the identity of Lix back to his appearance as he hadn't seemed like he was directly working with those thieves and had only appeared out of curiosity. With that, he should not have any information about him unless those buffoons had submitted a written report to him and that seemed unlikely.

Tyler sighed inwardly, he had already taken the skinny man back to the castle alongside the corpses that were intact utilizing his spatial Teleportation. He had wisely delegated the responsibility of interrogating him to Albert and Z as he wasn't sure he would be able to ask all the right questions if he did it himself, not to mention he didn't even have the time.

After finding out about the events that occurred last night with Tyler, Nadine had been dejected because she hadn't been there to protect him although Tyler felts she was just sad she missed the fight.

However, she now seemed to be in a good mood again because Tyler had bought her some sweets from the inn and probably also due to all the adoring looks she got from the men around as she drove the majestic carriage that was pulled by the rare and exotic six eyed-bull as they headed for the main gate.

Since their inn was located at the central winged plaza in the west borough and wasn't that far off from the main gate, the trip took only a few minutes.

On arrival at the gate, they quickly located the five lesser demons that made up the party, Unrivaled standing by the side of the gate with several large wooden barrels placed neatly next to them.

The barrels were well made and were about five feet tall and three feet wide. It was lined with Steel and was tightly sealed so even air couldn't penetrate it.

Tyler couldn't help but wonder what those were about as their carriage pulled up in front of the party of five and Tyler noticed they were all fully geared in relatively high-level pieces of equipment and carried decent quality weapons.

However, before he could fully observe their individual equipment, one of them had immediately caught his attention. The Succubi wore a similar revealing armor like the last time he saw her, albeit with the additions of some impressive-looking pair of metal greaves and vambraces that adorned her seductive figure.

Although she also draped on her usual brown cloak that hid most of her body, she wielded a massive battle-ax that looked like it would weigh a ton as she casually held it over her shoulders with a single hand.

Tyler was surprised, shocked even, simply because he had assumed a succubus would naturally be a magic caster that used support-type spells to aid her allies but as it turned out, she had enough strength to fight at the frontline and Tyler remembered Dohel had called her their ace once before.

'I guess you can't judge a book by its cover huh.' Tyler sighed inwardly as his interest in this girl grew slightly. His intense gaze at her although it was hidden under his hood still emitted a faint pressure that made Kylyra's nerve tingle as she moved slightly behind Larut to avoid his line of sight with a flushed face.

The carriage came to a complete stop in front of the party of five and Dohel quickly welcomed Tyler and Nadine, who were still going by Lix and Lillith.

”Ah you've arrived, thank you. I surely never doubted you would.”

Tyler saw the other party members of Unrivaled roll their eyes at Dohel's words and chuckled. He then alighted the carriage and shook the man's hands with his gloved hand. They exchange some pleasantries before Tyler went straight to the point.

”Now that I'm here, you can now tell me what this job really is about, am I right?.”

Dohel wasn't surprised by Tyler's bluntness as he had expected this from someone as mysterious as he was. He gave a wry smile as he approached Tyler and spoke in a soft tone that prevented others from listening.

”We've secretly discovered an unexplored Grade 3 Gold mine.”
