Chapter 87: Protect At All Cause [5]

Secret identity, Alias or might as well say a person's Alter ego, there's a reason why they hide their identities some are afraid to harm the ones that they love. Others make an Alter ego as an image that completely differs from their personality. What about me? That's a tough one for me, a secret identity is like an Author's pen name, well, my identity to this date is simply a guy with White hair accompanied by a Mask. Seriously, I never even changed my robe why can't everyone piece it altogether, there's literally a guy whose secret identity is a pair of Glasses

[System: Option 3 has now been applied, and the artifact will now enter its cooldown the next use will be at 10 days]

"That was a close one, Good thing that I haven't used this Artifact of mine," The Mist was consumed within a matter of seconds turning them into a state wherein their bodies have become transparent along with their voices to be unheard of. They used this opportunity to make a couple of Mirage that he used to make their enemies chase his copies while they make their way out of the sewers

[System: The Mirage of Christopher Morris has activated the combined skill Igniting fuse, The Mirage has amplified the spells Blast radius and Damage by adding additional 40 Mana]

The Mirage enclosed them to a location wherein the walls along with most of its area were sealed before they started to Invoke their final orders to set their bodies to explode. After they safely exit the building, which was set ablaze by the explosion created by Seven copies, without anything left for the five of them to return to Morris suggested that they can stay within the walls of the Mansion. A place that was rigged with explosives along with a ton of escape passages from the highest floor to the lowest, a place where they can take refuge while the trials haven't Arisen from its Hiatus

"They're finally asleep, Phew I thought it would've been a lot harder to escape that sewer system. Good thing I didn't use that Ring for a long time to come," Morris entered his room after a long day has passed, even though he already knew of the Guild's reasons why they were after Hugo. Something felt a little off to his guess he asked himself the answer to his question, why would they send so many just to kill a single person to the point where they will invest a ton? Hugo hasn't fully grown and his power is comparable to that of a Vice Guild leader, even so, why were there so many that were commissioned for his death

[Dont you think that it's a little odd that a ton was sent for one person?]

"You've noticed as well, it is odd strange even, it doesn't feel like this is your average Manhunt for a Guild they'll send a few members and they won't care what happens next. To think that they would do something like this? It's unheard of and the fact that their known for being Cunning and Unfair is by far the most puzzling thing to boot," Morris tried to search for the answer in his memories yet there wasn't anything that aroused suspicion only for one small thing that Hugo possess

'The Corrosive Black Sword is a Rare category weapon, In the game if you were lucky enough to acquire The Monarch Of Destruction as your Deity. He will bestow upon a Sword not only will it reshape itself to be compatible with its wielder it has a broken effect, Corrosion status a skill that was available to later stages of the story. Having anything that has an effect of Corrosion is pretty Rare it can even be worth 30k worth of Tokens, maybe that's the reason why they're after his life. Rare weapons are different from Starter, Common, and Uncommon Rarity they acquired a new feature called Ownership as long as the previous Owner is alive they can't use the weapon no matter what,'

After he finally found his answer he backs away from his Bed and left his room sneaking through the Mansion in the evening while the others have fallen asleep. He entered the room where he practiced his skills on a bunch of new mixtures that was also the room where he stores his potions, he never had any reason to stay longer than a few minutes after he obtained what he was after. Yet his body stopped when he felt a Dagger being pointed at his back by a mysterious figure he thought that it was a Guild member that found their base till the figure started hugging him while a warm and soft feeling was pushed to his back. Accompanied by a stimulating aroma with his ears being bitten, he was being toyed upon by none other than Airis that turned to his side and gave him a peck on his lips

"You smell so fresh out of the bathroom, let me guess you've done something dirty? I guess that you killed a few or a dozen players this night, I missed you. I thought of coming every day but my job doesn't allow me to do so, even though that's the case I won't complain as long as I see you," morris shrugged off her advancement and remained his composure, he asked for her reasons of visiting after he escaped from her clutches

[That Lunatic why is she here? Are we gonna fight her this place wouldn't be able to hold if we get all serious? We might as well say will destroy the Mansion if we start anything]

"What do I owe the presence of The Velvet Queen, I'm busy at the moment so I can't entertain you,"

"Of course, who wouldn't be busy when I can smell that you've been in contact with a few other Women? Who am I to judge but you know if you want you can ask me and I'll accompany you in the night, we can even cuddl~" Morris placed his palm on her mouth when he heard someone's footsteps coming from the other side of the room

There wasn't anyone else that could open the door only one other person that he trusts the most that can enter his room. It was Jin that saw the two of them alone in a dark room surrounded by a stimulating aroma, Morris was pushing her at the wall her mouth was being covered by his left palm and his right was holding both of her arms. He was about to close the door only to be dragged into the room by Morris closing the room and activating the soundproof enhancement

"Okay, I get it Morris your already old, but why did you drag me into this mess?" Jin misunderstood the situation his confusion was shortly answered with a gaze at Morris's expressionless face that quickly solves the problem

"It's great that someone suspected that we're doing something wrong, hello their Jin I have something to talk about with Christ," Airis dispersed the aroma after they have taken a seat inside the room

"Care to tell us why you're here? In the middle of the night, a perfect time for someone to assassinate an individual," Morris suspected that she was planning on abducting him when he was about to sleep

She threw a Guild crest at the table with a similar design to the one that Morris received from Kyo in the brawl they have with the Guild-affiliated players. Seeing this in her hands a Mercenary that would take any kind of Job if it gives her the right amount of money meant that she was either their enemy or her ally. The two of them slowly reached for their inventory after they saw the crest while she remained seated answering their suspicion of her being their foe

[Looks like she's on our side]

"You want our help?" Jin took a sip of the coffee that Morris brewed after they learned about her situation

"Help isn't the word that I'm going for how about Collaboration? We have the same enemies so why not join me in my mission I can even give you a cut on my reward. Since it'll be a special day it would be my second date with Christ," Airis cling to his arms after she said those words

"To sum it up, I'm gonna be a third wheel, my friends going on a date and the location would turn out to be a place that will turn into a new battlefield. Filled with blood, agony, screaming and we're getting paid? That's an offer I can't ignore when are we going, I'm already having some problems with Tokens that selling my weapons on the System shop isn't enough to buy a new set of materials,"

"If you let me borrow Christ for a while my man can give you as many materials as you desire, ores, monster drops even a new set of Crafting tools. If it's for Christ's friend then I don't mind how much you require as long as you gave me some time alone," Airis placed a Rare ore in his palm as a sign of her good intentions along with a communicator thats connected to her henchmen

"Deal that moron has been spending his time a lot inside the Mansion, he should get some fresh air once in a while. It's not good for his health if he stays inside for a long time, it's great that you want you came if not he would've stayed inside and read a ton of books,"

Even his friend wasn't able to resist the perks of what money can bring which made him forget his conscience. Selling his friend over for a couple of materials along with the reason of him being inactive. He didn't speak a word since he already knew that his voice won't reach his friend that drowned in his desire

'What the fuck, did I just get sold?'
