Chapter 222 Searching for demons 2 (2/2)

Mars gave a smile as the receptionist continued.

”Secondly, I would recommend you leave town as quickly as possible as the one you just threw out of the guild was the son of the local lord.”

”I see, no wonder he was so annoying to look at... He isn't really gold rank is he?”

The receptionist gave a smile but didn't answer, this in of itself gave Mars the answer he needed.

”Well then... I need information on the caravan that passed though the town about two months ago, it came from the wasteland, I trust you know which one I'm talking about?”

”Yes... Give me a moment to collect some documents.”

Mars gave a nod and waited for the receptionist to return which she did a few minutes later with some documents which she put on the table before she sat down and asked Mars.

”So want do you want to know?”

”Well... Their destination as well as their estimated time of arrival.”

”Let's see... Their destination is the former king's city and they are set to arrive sometime tomorrow.”

”I see... Thanks for the information.”

”you are very welcome... Now I suggest you leave town as quickly as possible.”

Mars gave a smile and stood up from the couch before he turned and walked out of the meeting room and then out of the guild onto the streets where he found a group of thugs waiting for him. The thugs wielded various weapons but all of them had dried blood on them, in the middle of the group of thugs stood the man with the golden guild tag, the son of the local lord. When he saw Mars he gave a smile and walked a few steps closer before he yelled spewing saliva all over the place.

”Did you think you would escape after harming the great me!? Now I give you one change if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness I will let you die with an intact corpse!”

'This kid is really something... Might be worth the bounty just to rid this town of him...'

Mars put a hand on the hilt of his sword before he answered.

”If you run away now kid I might spare your life.”

Feeling the blood lust Mars was emitting the man took a few steps back as his face paled before he yelled.

”G-get him, but don't kill him I want to teach him some manners first!”

Mars gave a slight smile as he drew his bone sword and stood ready as the thugs slowly approached him.

”You know what? I don't have time for this.”

Then he activated [Instant movement] and momentarily disappeared from view before he reappeared again and sheathed his sword, meanwhile the thugs froze up before thin red lines appeared on the necks before they fell over, they were dead of course. The man with the golden merc tag also froze up before he suddenly felt a little 'light' in his pants before he collapsed clutching what was left of his nether regions as it dawned on him that he would not be able to further the family line anymore, then he passed out as his pants gradually was dyed red by his own blood.

”And that's that...”

Mars sheathed his sword and then he ripped open a portal and stepped through, leaving the border town behind...

Mars stepped out of the portal a little ways away from the former king's city and called out.

”Victoria.”

Victoria jumped out of his shadow as her horns flashed.

”What... is it?”

”Can you help me search for the convoy holding the enslaved demons?”

”Sure...”

”Okay thanks... Now it should be on one of the western roads leading towards the former king's city about a day out... I'll look from the air, so let's meet up back here about sundown. Sounds good?”

”Yeah... So I should... Not attack the... Convoy?”

”No let's do that together, just look for it.”

”Okay... See you at... Sundown.”

Mars gave a nod and flew up into the air meanwhile Victoria jumped into a shadow as both of them began searching for the convoy. Mars flew upwards into the air only stopping right before he reached the cloud layer, then he began flying west while looking after convoys on the roads, he spotted a few but none that fitted the size he knew the convoy had to be.
