Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 182: The arrival (3)

"Ruilo Magore!"

A beast man possessing thick fur covering the sides of his forearms, long tail, and a muscular physique uttered looking at Felishia with a slight bow.

[Private ability: Truth eye activated]

Nix had already been checking their information and none seem to be threatening and their information was rather leaning towards the side in supporting Felishia as such he did not find a problem but the beast-man seemed to be the father of the beast kin kid that volunteered to follow him.

"I am Gryion, of Jedio."

Nix did not know where Jedio was located at. He just came to the conclusion that it is far from this continent. Actually, the chaos mainland was the only continent without many populations of other racial people. As such it was no wonder he was amazed by how many people were there from several races in a single place rather it was his first time seeing two to three orcs. 

"I am Nix."

Nix said shaking his hand with him. Gryion was not so significant or some big shot. His aura was simplistic and friendly. One could say he was the typical side character who would die pretty much without having to play any major role. At least that was how Nix perceived him.

As the team followed into the depth of the cave which was brightened with some mana lamps attached to the dark walls. Just after a few meters of walking, they entered a large chamber where there were several torches were lit up in every corner and the cave was actually brimming with the crowd. There were Approximately one fifty to two hundred people from different races mixed. 

Nix still hasn't asked why Felishia sent a succubus to intervene in the mission rather he didn't need to. Since the answer was already in front of them. She was actually scouting for people. This is just mere speculation from his side. In any case, he just killed Sarah who went out of her way to help him and that's the end of the story.

Felishia didn't question his actions rather she understood how many messed up situations he'd have went through. In recent times he noticed her growing stronger and stronger and every time she went away she came back stronger. So He still hadn't put his trust in her. He was just using her as she uses him as well. 

The deal they both made was quite useless as well since he wasn't bound by that. In essence, he was going out of his way to grasp the information he couldn't gain.

As they walked all the people had their eyes on the team while paving the path to the center where a stage was set up.

"Followers of Sins... As you all know. There is uproar and that war has begun."

Felishia spoke in a polite yet strong voice as the crowd keenly observed her.

"Yes..."

"we will have to participate?"

"It seems like we will be force different from the majority..."

Those sentences were spoken amidst the crowd.

"Ahem ahem."

She cleared her throat breaking the silence and began speaking in a loud voice yet, again.

"I have already mentioned this several times for you people to be prepared. The time has come. And I Witch of seven sins. Request your participation in order to stop those Corrupted gods."

It was a straightforward speech with no hidden meaning behind it. Although it seems quite blunt. Her voice and the message she wanted to convey were transmitted clearly and her followers understood it as well.

Among the crowd was a bearded man who raised his hand. He was the shortest of them all yet, his body seemed muscular.

'A dwarf!'

Nix exclaimed and looked at the man with interest.

"Goddess Felishia. Currently, our weapons lack in quality compared to the other soldiers from humanity would use. And some of us are still considerate about participating in this war."

"I understand and it is something we can take care of once we enter Theemai."

Felishia assured.

"All though you've explained about Imperator our ally. We don't see him here. If I spoke anything wrong I apologize my goddess."

He bowed.

Followed by him a serpent man began talking. As the name suggests, he possessed reptilian scales, thick and dark brown in color. Head similar to that of a snake and his green eyes gave off an ominous feeling. Nix was slightly intrigued about him.

"As he said. All we can see is three weak humans next to you. We'd want the Imperator to cordially invite us into the town. Not his servants!"

Nix just quietly observed while Camila and Cinzia fumed in anger.

"Who did you call weak? You vicious snake!"

Camila uttered and aimed her bow towards him.

"Haha, how impudent? You dare raise your weapon in presence of Goddess herself!"

The Dwarf scoffed and raised his ax.

"Nix are you going to just stand still?"

Cinzia asked looking at him in anticipation. But Nix just quietly watched the dwarf smoking his cigarette with a mocking smile on his face.

"And you are such an insolent bastard to not notice that this man here is imperator."

Asahi said in loud voice.

"The Imperator? Are you saying my perception is wrong? Imperator is a man who was skilled enough to make explosives. He who dared to destroy the city of Greed?"

The dwarf frowned.

"Why not test him all by yourself?"Felishia challenged with a smirk and winked at Nix.

Before he could even activate doom prediction,an axe flew towards him at a great speed while burning fiercely. It was thrown by none other than the dwarf himself.

Though Nix didn't want to act like a tyrant. He was very much annoyed by the dwarf. His body automatically moved a step away from the trajectory. It was solely latent instinct that helped him. 

"!"

The dwarf's eyebrows shot up in surprise as his chains transformed into a sword while his dagger released dark energy that made the people surrounding him flinch.

The axe dug deep inside the wall and exploded, making a dent in the wall and creating smoke the axe fell on the floor.

He slowly walked to the center and unleashed the chain in immense speed directing towards the dwarf.

He looked at Nix's chain with amazement as it followed him like a missile. He ran a few steps and immediately turn towards the chain and slashed it with his axe but, the recoil and the fire attribute created an explosion crashing against his red axe and pushed him towards the walls.

He did not let him go and slowly walked towards him releasing his mana in a threatening way and just gave him a hand to stand up.

"May I know your name?"

He asked after the dwarf took his hand.

"I apologize for my insolency... I hope you'll give me a punishment I deserve."

He said bowing his head yet, his eyes were still on Nix's chains.

Nix's lips curved up noticing how cunning the dwarf was and said.

"Nah, no need for such things. We can talk about this alone."

He said patting his shoulder with a smile and drifted his attention to serpent kin whose face seemed to have lost its color. 

Unlike the Dwarf, he abruptly jumped on Nix and bit his neck. Both Cinzia and Camila rushed forward but were later grappled by the followers of Felishia. Felishia looked at Nix and nodded her head. Even though he clearly knew he was about to jump he wanted to test something about his body.

Though the poison rushed into Nix's body, he stood there with a smirk and grabbed the serpent by his neck, as he looked into his information.

"Hah, venomous little bitch."

Nix sighed gripping his throat.

"AHhh! AHhh!"

The serpent screamed in agony

As Nix butchered his limbs mercilessly in front of the followers. He did not waste a sliver of time nor wanted to hear what he wanted to convey. He had the Phantom vision with which could see through him at ease.

The crowd's faces paled some looked at him with fear as well as threw his body which had lost both his hands and legs on the stage.

"Are there any healers here?"

Nix said in a commanding tone.

"Nix? Do you mind answering why you severed his body?"

Felishia asked hesitantly.

This was the crowd's first time to see their goddess talk in such a requesting manner.

"I will but, for now. We need someone to heal him from the wounds so that he can talk..."

He stopped the sentence looking at his snake eyes that dilated as he was crying in agony.

"So that this little bitch could talk!"

He said stomping his face.

The dwarf who caused a commotion was shivering in fear while standing in a corner. It was a mess and it was started by him and that's what he thought. Nix certainly knew what the dwarf had on his mind.

He slightly peered at the dwarf and turned back to the serpent kin who was getting healed by the elven beauties that once stayed at Nix's clan house in Dracton.

"You will answer whatever question she asks from now on."

Nix said as his chains began to split into tiny strands of metal wires that quivered before the Pochaney, the Serpent kin. 

The limbless body shivered as the thin strands got closer and closer towards him and his eyes were literally pouring water like a fucking tap.

"Please...Please show mercy...AHhh!"
