Chapter 93 - #92 Bolic (2/2)

...

”You can enter!” The guard came back in a hurried manner and let us in while signaling another guard to lead us.

*Creek*

When we entered the mansion, I immediately smelled drugs and sėx in the air with my superior sense of smell.

Heh, this can't be really religious person. He must be from the Empire sent as a spy or I have no idea what he is doing in a high-ranking position. I can already guess why they let us in and I don't like it at all...maybe I will cause a bit of commotion here.

I thought with an amused and cold smile while using my hood as best I could to hide my face.

We were being led through a few rooms until we arrived at probably the biggest hall of the entire mansion where I finally saw a man named Bolic sitting on some kind of throne while having more than 5 women around him. All of those women were only wearing a bikini and judging by their expressions it was apparent that they were under the effects of drugs. The man himself had brown short hair and beard, there was nothing ”holy” about him and neither anything special.

So he doesn't even bother to hide this fact from us? So I guess he never intended to let us leave alive. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

”Hello, I am named Bolic. I have heard that you have something to offer to me so...how about showing her to me whole?” He introduced himself with an impatient smile while looking at Taeko's figure with a ŀėwd expression and he didn't even try to hide it.

Haha, I was doing my best not to laugh aloud while resisting the urge of giving him a little torture with my new power.

”Oh? I guess there must be a little misunderstanding. This is my companion and what I want to offer to you is this.” I said with an awkward tone before pulling out 1 unique looking ring.

”Hm? I see...well, the craftsmanship is definitely better than one can find in this era but...Well, I can offer you 100 gold and if you leave your companion here, I will give you twice as much.” He exclaimed with a slightly disappointed tone before looking once more at Taeko's figure. He didn't even look at the things I was offering him and instead he offered such an absurd offer.

Despite the fact that Taeko was wearing the cloak over her, it didn't hide her figure that was built by numerous years of training.

Wow, there are people this stupid. I am very surprised.

I thought sarcastically.

To be honest, his remarks don't even anger me but on the contrary, they make me want to laugh. Anyway, it looks like he isn't someone so simple, I can sense fairly strong people around.

Taeko was just keeping silent without being bothered by his words.

”I am sorry but that's too little and my companion needs to go back with me so I can't let her remain here.” I replied with an apologetic tone.

As long as he doesn't try anything, I won't move either.

”*Taeko, just focus on not having your face seen by anyone, don't join the fight*” I still whispered to her just for precaution since I already felt that this shitty man will try something.

”Well, that actually wasn't an offer but more of an order. *Snap*” He said with an amused smile and snapped his fingers.

The guards around the room gathered in front of us.

How typical of the Empire...he really must be a spy inside this religious organization.

”Heh, I see, then-” I said and slowly draw my sword.

”Kill him and capture that girl!” Bolic shouted while pointing at us when he saw me drawing my sword.

The guards threw themselves at us, slashing their swords and thrusting their spears at me.

*Splash* *Splash* Within just a second, I killed more than 6 guards and their severed limbs, half of their bodies painted the floor with blood.

”-my words also weren't a question but the announcement” I finish my sentence after finishing all of my opponents while showing Bolic a wide smile.

”?! Come here quickly! Protect me!” He suddenly shouted and I felt something nearing my head from the right side.

I turned to the side and slashed the things that were attacking me.

? Nails?

I was somewhat surprised by what I have slashed.

Another one?

I narrowed my eyes when I felt an attack from above and behind.

I caught the ankle of the person above me who was trying to stomp me to death and threw her with full force towards the person who was attacking me from behind.

”Huh?”

”Gah!”

Both of them looked surprised as they flew backward together.

While I was busy with them, someone already appeared in front of me, throwing a punch at my face.

”Let me free your soul!” A man twice as big as me shouted.

”My soul is free enough so no, thank you” I replied with a smile

”That voice?!” Two people exclaimed when they heard me.

I blocked his punch by crossing my arms in front of me but the impact still forced me backward so I performed a backflip in the air to regain my balance and when I landed, my hood was finally off.

”A-Akashi?!!”

”It's nice to see you again, Mez, Suzuka. Although I would say that circumstances aren't the nicest, right?” I asked with a wide and slightly crazy smile with narrowed eyes.
