102 An envoy? (2/2)
Before the thing can answer I rearrange the blade and move it upwards, splitting its chest and head apart. The body stood another second and then it drops to the ground like a doll with its strings cut.
”You just killed the envoy.....” Carne comments my action from behind with a slightly affected voice.
I don't answer and concentrate instead. If this thing said the truth I might be able to get Aengus back. Wasn't he supposed to visit Sharid's home world? They should have been able to run if there was an attack there.
No matter. I have a spy with them. If I act fast I may be able to find them in time.
”Angrod. We have no idea where to search! Why did you kill that guy?” Miruliru nags me from the side.
”I will find them. There is no problem. I just need a few strong guys to go in and out without giving them time to act.” I wave at a guard who heard the conversation and he nods, vanishing immediately.
”If my wife finds out that something happened to Aengus I am dead meat! Kukuku.... No worse! I will be the only guy in the family!” I start to hack with the sword at the dead body. This is frustrating!
”S.. Stop it. You need an anger management course! You know that?” Miruliru stops me.
”Haaah...” I turn around and walk back into the direction of tower. ”I wish I could have those times as an evil scientist back! Nobody you care about! Everyone is just a resource for the next experiment. Those were good times. But nowadays you have to be nice and play by the rules. It's infuriating!”
Yes! It's important to choose your priorities wisely. Otherwise you end up like me. I have to take care of the whole multiverse now and the evil guy goes for my family! It's obvious that I messed up somewhere.
”Let's continue this in the conference room.” I teleport back to our previous location. The needed fighters should arrive shortly. Time to gather some information.
I activate a big screen at the wall and enter a security code. ”Warden, I need a secure connection with the mobile personal spy Enyo. The codeword is -spank-!” While I am at it, the rest of the ambassadors arrives.
~Excuse me?~
”You heard me Warden. Connect us now!” Come on. It isn't hard to understand.
~As you wish.... you should choose another codeword later. It's inappropriate and you had listeners.~
I sigh. ”Thanks Warden. Now the connection.” It's annoying but the positioning signal of my spy is very weak. It's almost not there.
The screen goes dark. Huh? A malfunction? ”Enyo? Enyo!”
”Ssss... Masster! Why do wake me up at sssuch a time?” A snake-like voice answers.
”Where are you? I need you to send a signal on your position.” I have no time for this.
”I am inssside Sssharid'ss magical bag. Ssshould I get outssside?” Enyo answers immediately.
”Get out and give me their position.” Simple minds are surely a bother. I hear a fizzling sound and then the screen finally shows a picture.
It's a first person view of Enyo's vision. It looks like she is in a dark cave. By looking back, we see that Enyo's body looks out of a magical bag. It looks like a furry snake like thing...
”I am outsside. Sshould I ssend my possition?” Eyno takes another look around, but there is nobody in the cave.
”No. Find Aengus and Sharid first!” I hope Enyo wasn't discarded in the wrong place.
Enyo starts to sidle along the ground. It seems like she chose a direction at random, but I know that it's not the case. I equipped Enyo's new body with the latest technology available before I gave it to Aengus. Vision, sound, smell. Enyo is the perfect spy.
Then I become aware of the silence in the room and turn around. Everyone's eyes are stuck on me. Some in fear, some in disgust, some in curiosity. ”What?”
”Is that really Enyo?” -Miruliru
”Yes?” I don't get the problem. I was so nice to repair her broken soul and give her an honourable occupation.
”And her body....” -Gwalonna
”Is a tail for a cat-suit with an anal plug.” I still don't get the problem. It's the perfect cover. Nobody would suspect a high end spy in such a disguise.
”Fascinating!” -Chiffre
”T... That's worse than I thought! Sharid! And now Enyo! You are forbidden to choose the divine punishments from now on! You are the worst!” Miruliru explodes in my face. The majority of the ambassadors nod.
I shrug my shoulders and turn back around. ”I just followed Seria's wish..... she was worried about her brother's love life. How could I turn down a wish from my cute daughter. And Enyo should be thankful. If i hadn't repaired her soul, she would stare into a wall for another few million years.” I mumble to myself while I watch Enyo's progress.
After a long tunnel Enyo suddenly slides into a crack in the wall of the cave and becomes silent. A few demons pass her without taking notice. After a few seconds Enyo starts to move again.
She reaches a big cavern. And there it is! A Sphere. Demons are sacrificing people to the accursed thing while a slightly bigger variant is in a praying position before it. It looks like the monster I just slew at the plaza!
There are people waiting in rows to be sacrificed. And on an altar slightly elevated above the others are Sharid and Aengus. They are displayed like a big trophy. Their clothes are torn and they are unconscious.
