Chapter 114: Blood Tribe and Vampires (1/2)
”Thud!”
A body fell on the ground and moaned and crawled with the support of one uninjured hand while dragging another limp hand with all his effort he could muster. He was covered in blood and grime and looked as if he was standing on the death door. He was in a terrible, terrible condition.
”Slyff!” a horrified voice shouted as soon as he appeared. Then several figures dashed towards his crawling miserable frame. ”What happened to you?” Kadyn asked with wide eyes. ”Did Enwyld realise that you were tagging along with him?”
”Enwyld is dead,” he said with a pale face, ”everyone else is also dead.”
”What?!” everyone turned pale at this shocking news. ”What do you mean? Who killed them?” Khrom asked.
”Hey,” Elora interrupted. ”At least, give him a healing potion before asking anything. See, his left arm is almost torn apart, bones are visible. It must hurt terribly. You guys are so heartless”
”Indeed,” Slyff said in agreement, eyes becoming wet. He was suffering such pain and these bastards were asking question after question. Do you even know the word 'shame'?
”Ah, yes,” only then Kadyn scratched his head embarrassedly and stopped his questions. Just as Kadyn took out the healing potion a notification sounded and a window appeared in front of him.
[Due to the sudden increase in the danger of the mission. The reward has increased.]
After that the details regarding the mission came into his view.
[Quest: Spying on Enwyld]
[Reward: 30(old)→ 100(final)]
[Quest Status: Completed]
[Reason to increase the reward: Vampire attack]
Kadyn opened his mouth wide when he read the details inside the window, and peered at the boy on the ground. Then said hurriedly. ”Hey, you have already completed your mission and you have enough energy points to buy the potion. Do you want it?”
Everyone looked at him weirdly. What the hell are you asking at a time like this? Kadyn saw their faces and turned somewhat red, but didn't care too much. He was the one who needed to pay every employee after they completed their missions, so he would not let the chance go to earn his energy points back. But yes, if Slyff hadn't any energy points that would be another matter altogether. After all, he could not let his employee die.
As this idea came into his head, the system replied. 'You can loan them, and when they have enough energy points they can return them, after all they are your employees and can't run away, can they?'
”I agree,” Slyff was almost on the verge of crying. ”Give me the potion.” He said with his weak voice. This damn bastard boss.
”Alright,” Kadyn poured the potion into Slyff's mouth and the healing potion started to take effect, healing the boy rapidly. He was only at the 6-star elementary mage, so the effect of the potion was more evident on him. Stronger people needed stronger to heal potions and vice-versa.
”Take him to his room and let him rest,” he said to Khrom. ”His wounds are terrible.”
Only now have you realised it? Slyff rolled his eyes at him as did others.
”No, I need to tell you something,” Slyff said with a weak voice. ”It was vampires… they... they killed Enwyld and others. Though I don't know why. The strongest is the woman… cough cough cough...”
Rayna hurriedly gave him water to control his coughs. ”Don't speak anymore,” she said.
Before others could collect their thoughts after hearing such a shocking piece of news, Kadyn's voice interrupted the train of their brainwork ”Alright, you go rest. We'll talk about it later.” Obviously his words were meant for Slyff.
”Why are they here?” Barret said somewhat apprehensive. ”There must be a reason they are making a move. Furthermore, there is a vampire among them who killed Enwyld. She must be Rank 3 at the very least. This is bad.”
