Chapter 40 - The Don and The Hidden Boss of Dark Scily Forest 1 (2/2)

Richarde offered him a chair to sit, but Hermes reluctantly refused.

”Alright, so any information about the bandit and their lair?” asked Richarde, gravely. ”The only thing I know is their leader. He's a bis.e.x.u.a.l who is proclaiming himself as the Great Tamer. The rest are not that important. They are just random henchmen you can kill anytime. Unfortunately, I don't know where the nest of those people hiding, so forgive me,” Hermes shrugged his arms as he explained.

”Oh, the great tamer of what? Nevermind, he must be a fanatic of the immortal servant of the former Emperor. There's no way a man like him could still coexist with the living,” said Richarde. ”Exactly, and that man shouldn't exist in this world, though,” Hermes affirmed.

Great Tamer of Scily Island and a former servant of the last Emperor of the fallen empire weren't even part of the history of this game. The set of the plot was gradually getting out of hand, and he didn't know what to do when something happened out of his knowledge.

”Well, it's hard to fight that gay,” Hermes sighed.

”Hold up, did you defeat the leader?” asked Richarde. ”Yep, and he's undoubtedly a strong contender but stupid man, lack of consideration. He's stupid to let us untouched when he and the priestess talked about the new fashion trend of this nation. But I don't think he will stay like that forever after what I did earlier. He'll learn from his mistake and that mistake will make him stronger than ever. But I can assure that he won't bother us with this number,” Hermes gravely assured.

”Man, you're pointing out that he'll strike back after this. To think you believe he will. Only a fool would even dare to attack us in this place, though,” said Richarde, smiling.

”Master Aljen, are you here?” asked Justin as he entered the tenth. ”Umm, yep,” Hermes answered with a confused face.

”Oi, I didn't give you permission to enter yet. Who do you think you are?” Richarde questioned, angrily. ”Shut it, you moron,” Justin retorted.

”M, moron? Sir Aljen, who the heck is this prick? He has no manners,” said Richarde, pointing his index at the butler.

”Forgive me. Master, get down!” Justin covered his body with a barrier.

”Everyone, duck!” Mambo hollered.

*Boom*

'The kids, Venus. Oh, shit. Where are they?' Hermes asked, worryingly.

”Are you alright, my Don?” asked Justin as he scanned his body from head to toe. ”I'm f.u.c.kin' alright. Are the kids and Venus safe?” Hermes inquired as he grabbed his collar when he asked it. ”Yes, sir,” Justin nodded.

”What the f.u.c.k? Take the priestess and the children out of here!” Hermes ordered.

”But, sir. You're the most valuable existence I should protect,” said Justin.

”Richarde, the enemy found us now. I believe you need to correct yourself for this!” Hermes grimaced as he picked up the rifle next to him.

”Ah, my bad. I didn't think we're facing a mage,” Richarde rubbed his back as he stood up from his position.

”This is not the time to relax. We need to evacuate the children and the priestess now. Oi, you guys, what the hell are you looking at? Stop looking at me. Focus your attention on the bastard who did this. Anyone who can do shit, protect the wagon from that f.u.c.kin' spell,” Hermes strictly commanded as he searched for the location of the enemy.

”W, who the hell are you?” asked one of the guards. ”I'm Aljen, you moron. Now, use the destroyed logs and scattered rocks as a cover,” Hermes instructed. ”Y, yes, sir,” the guards nodded and followed.

”Wait up, I'm the leader of this crew, though. Nevermind, follow his command. That's my order. Evacuate the priestess and the children immediately. Use the wagons and people, listen carefully, take your arms and shoot that man above the sky. Man, is the new generation really this scary now? Being educated from high class is so damn great, I suppose,” Richarde sighed.

”Oi, idiots. Didn't I order you all to take the priestess and the children out of here?” Richarde chided. ”Sir, we need a cover from those assaults. We cannot risk moving the wagon from this location,” the henchman said.

”Aah, damn it. I'll come with you then. Sir. Aljen, can you do me a favor?” pleaded Richarde. ”Sure, what is it?”asked Hermes with a confused face. ”Please cover our escape. Thanks, lad,” Richarde winked in one eye and thumbed up before he ran to the wagon.

”Son of a bitch!” Hermes raged.

”Okay, move now,” Richarde commanded, activating a tier 4 magic barrier.

”Man, that guy left us all alone,” Justin commented, wrinkled eyes.

”Justin, who's doing this? He's no longer interested to shoot the wagons. He's only aiming at us!” Hermes argued.

The butler used his clairvoyance and he found the man on the brown cloak in the sky.

”Oh, boy. I think I know who exactly is shooting at us,” he said.

”Who?” asked Hermes, angrily. ”It's my old pal, Seraph. He's using a tier 7 artillery spell. I guess he's finally recovering from that last fight. No need to worry, my Don. I'll handle this. Please run for the village when I confront him,” Justin suggested.

”And, when and where exactly should I go? He's f.u.c.k.i.n.g up there,” Hermes complained. ”Well, run for the forest again after my signal, and go straight to the river when the battle begins. Then, follow the flow where the water goes down. It will show you the path to the secret path of the village,” Justin said.

”Wait, I don't want to go there. It's connected to the fifth district,” Hermes argued.

”Well, nevermind. It is just a suggestion though. Oh, please. Just run for the forest and wait for my return, I guess,” Justin heaved a sigh and positioned himself to perform a jump.

”Wait, can you fly?” asked Hermes. ”Nope, but I can jump higher than a normal human,” Justin confirmed.

The second round of their fight had begun.

”May the Grandlord of the Lost Empire bless me with his powers. His strength and influence shall rule the world,” Seraph prayed, releasing a large amount of mana in a form of medium size bullet through his rifle.

He pulled the trigger with ease from the sky, and the bullet transformed into a big cannonball. Then, it scattered in the air and hit the ground, creating a large hole in the area where the young Don kept hiding.

”Oh,” Seraph used his weapon to block the hand assault of Justin. ”Yow, Seraph. Good to see you again. I hope you don't mind me joining you in the air,” said Justin as he gave him a powerful kick on the left ribs.

Seraph blocked his attack and aimed his weapon at the butler. But he was unable to pull the trigger after the man pursued him.

The confrontation of the two transformed the sky into a dark battlefield with an open area.

”Good grief, Justin. Give me a break. Just let me kill the bastard,” Seraph argued as he tried to shoot him down, but the butler kept dodging it like he's dancing a Carinosa, a piece of urban folk music from Hispania. ”Nah, I won't let you. I'll keep bothering your job even it will cost my life,” Justin declared, releasing a black orb on his palms and shot his target with it.

”Oh, then so be it,” Seraph clicked his tongue and activated a new spell, the multiple shot fire.

The sky got overwhelmed with different clouds of black dust because of the explosions in the air.

”Hmm, I guess, it's time for me to move now,” Hermes murmured as he rushed for the forest.
