23 「Days of Passage」 (2/2)
On top of that her former affiliation was that of the Thirteen Heroes.
”So you knew the Black Knight,” Jack said out loud without knowing it.
Slowly Keno nodded, wondering where this was coming from. Though she could only assume he already knew who everyone in this group was. Surveillance Magic was in heavy use throughout the Continent at the moment and it was making just about everyone who could sense it uneasy.
Jack sighed quietly with a small smile across his lips as he gazed over the little LandFall. ”It's nice to finally meet you Landfall.” He used her former name casually which caused all of her friends to briefly reach for their weapons.
However he didn't react to their movements and instead kept his attention on Keno.
”People call me EvilEye,” she responded to his calling her out as the former Vampire Lord.
Jack acknowledged with a simple tip of his head, before looking past them towards the funeral as it was going on. There were some tents where food was served and such.
”So what can I do for you?” He asked as he moved his attention towards Climb who appeared to be the Princess Renner's personal toy, or in some extraordinary fashion, pet puppy.
”The Six Noble Houses want to bring you in after learning of your potions, and now your...” For a mere minute he was captivated by the wall which surrounded him. He could hardly see where it ended as trees and buildings blocked the view. ”Unsanctioned Fortification of a Village as made them think you're planning a move against the Kingdom.”
”And what does Gazef think?” He asked as he narrowed his sights on the blond male who was taken back by the casual mention of the Head warrior.
”While he seems to support you, he does believe you went overboard. It appears you're going to war.”
”And if I am?”
For a brief moment they went silent before all looking at one another, then back to him.
”The Slane Theocracy and the Baharuth Empire are watching us. Especially now after I eliminated the majority of the Black Scripture after one of their former members killed some of my friends.” Jack wore a fake smile as he said these words as there was no happiness in them.
”You... Eliminated them!?”
”All except for four of them... One wasn't present and I captured three of them.”
”Where did you fight them?”
”They were present near E-Rantel during the Vampire Attack.” He glanced off in the distance for a moment before turning his head to look at Nphirea who was walking with his Grandmother and Enri off in the distance.
”So I ambushed them a day into their retreat,” he yawned quietly as if it was just a boring story.
”How'd you fight that many God-Kin?” EvilEye stepped forward, knowing very well that even as descendants of players, they were relatively powerful.
”The Vampire killed two of them and critically injured another.” His eyes wandered over to Lakyus who was eying his uniform.
A small grin formed over his lips as he stepped towards them.
”That would still leave Nine of them...”
”I suppose. The first one I killed was the Second Seat, the moment he landed a hit, he died.”
Those last few words echoed in the back of their minds for a few moments. The Second Seat landed a hit on him and died rather than inflicting damage?

”And he did no damage to you?”
”No, but the fourth seat managed to burn me.”
”Burn you...?”
Jack just shrugged slightly, ”Very little damage though.” A smile remained tainting his lips before he went to walk passed them and rejoin the funeral. ”Feel free to join in. The 'Swords of Darkness' appreciate your visit.”
Lakyus blinked a few times hearing the name of the party. ”Huh?”
”Our Party's primary goal was to acquire one of the Black Knights Swords, or all four of them since there used to be just four members before I joined.” He laughed quietly to himself and shook his head, ”Now there is only two.”
”Right... The Zurrernorn attack... They were kille--”
”They were killed by Lady Clementine, a former member of the Black Scripture and some guy named Dale from Zurrernorn. If Momon had made it there sooner, they might've still been alive.”
”I can revi--”
”No you can't,” Jack cut her off from what she was about to say, as if he knew she was going to say she could revive them. Mostly because he knew that she had such an ability, but he already blocked their capacity to be resurrected.
”But...”
”I used true death on them, there is no need for them to experience death a second or third time.”
Lakyus frowned, ”That's not your choice.”
”It is now.”
Turning his back to them, he grasped his left wrist behind his back with his right hand and began to walk. Just the fact that he could use certain abilities meant he was highly powered and irregular.
On top of that it appeared he knew exactly who Keno was. Or at least appeared to.
She was pretty sure he was a player considering he had eliminated the Black Scripture, but what he was isn't known to her.
”Hey!” Lakyus shouted after him, ”The Six Nobles and the King demand you come to the Royal Capital!”
Glancing over his shoulder looking over at them, ”After the Funeral. Like I said, you're welcome to stay until then.”
”At night fall it is!”
”It's going to last three days, good luck with that.”
”You only have one da--”
”Three lives cannot be celebrated in one day!”
