The World Serpent

Chapter 110 - 110-City Of Bez Erk

Within the Northern Region of the Continent Debilis, A City stood within its lands. The City was known as the City of Sin, also known as Bez Erk. The City of Bez Erk got built to protect Criminal Empires from Nations, and the one who ruled the City was a known individual with a title like the Son of the World. Would it be possible for such a City to get invaded and defeated? An interesting question that kept passing within the Nations of Debilis Minds. Though fortunately for them, they would never have to do it themselves. 

In the City of Bez Erk, On a Dark Alleyway between its Gigantic Buildings. A Figure stood quietly as Numerous Figures appeared behind it. The Numerous Figures looked like Assassins which probably came from the Criminal Empires hidden within the City. The reason why they were abusing the Dark Figure was unknown, but soon the truth would come out. 

"Young Lady, You have been asking Delicate Information about the Leaders for a while. Are you some Spy from the Northern Nations?" A Figure walked out, which signified his status as a Leader. They were the Assassins of the Criminal Empires. They were known for their lack of mercy and torturous methods of gaining information. 

The Figure, the Assassins chased, finally revealed its whole appearance. A Young Lady appeared on its spot. She had Dark Ashened Hair, and her Golden Amber Eyes shone with a bright radiance that rivaled Gold. The Young Lady was Ego, the Lesser Demon Phoenix. She looked around the Assassins as the Assassins found themselves in shock. Their gaze slowly turned perverted while staring at Ego. 

"Well, well, well, Isn't she a beauty?" The Assassin Leader had a perverted smirk while spinning his Dagger. His teammates chuckled after hearing them as they also had the same perverted thoughts as their Leader. Ego didn't reveal any emotions other than a single smile towards the Assassins. The Assassin Leader raised an eyebrow as he felt something strange. 

He then felt the atmosphere around them change as he quickly looked around and noticed Four Figures appearing behind his Teammates. Before he could warn his Teammates, The Figures knocked them all out in an instant. The Assassin Leader finally found himself cornered within Four seconds. He quickly investigated his surroundings as the Four Figures slowly walked towards him. 

"Tsk, You trick us." The Assassin Leader couldn't help but click his tongue. He quietly took out a smoke bomb. He smiled towards the Figures and spoke. "But I'll escape!" He then swung his arms down as he was about to throw the Smoke Bomb, but unfortunately, a hand stopped his arm from moving. His eyes found themselves in disbelief as he tried moving his arm only to be stuck. 

"W-what?" The Assassin Leader muttered to himself as he continued resisting against the Hard Grip. Though unfortunately, the Grip was too hard for the Assassins Leader to resist. The Grip got stronger and stronger as the Assassin Leader felt his body scream in pain. He looked at the one that took his arm and saw Ego staring t him with her Golden Amber Eyes. He couldn't help but feel fear as he lost consciousness the second he gazed upon Ego. 

Ego sighed after the Assassin fell to the ground and turned her head towards a Figure. "It seemed that the Information Gathering got noticed. The planned work." A smile appeared on Ego's face as the Figure revealed its complete appearance. "It would not have worked without you. Why don't we retreat and collect information from the captured Assassins." Statera said with her soothing voice as the Group nodded in agreement. 

They disappeared from the Dark Alleyway as they carried the Assassins with them. As if nothing happened, The Group continued its operation within the City of Bez Erk. 

In an Abandoned Building within Bez Erk, The Group stood together as they looked upon the Light created by Ego. The Figures revealed themselves as Lifa, Severus, Arthur, Statera, and Ego. Nyx and Lilith were in the next room having their own time together as they didn't have enough power to participate in the operation. It made Nyx feel bad, but Ego immediately activated her Sister Power and made Nyx talk with Lilith. The abled ones completed their first mission, and they were about to have a meeting about it. 

"That was an interesting experience. That was my first time working as an Assassin." A Voice echoed as it came from Arthur, who was famously known as Rookie. Severus sighed after hearing Arthur's words and replied. "An interesting experience... For some reason, why do I feel like you're not a normal commoner, Rookie?" 

"Eh?" Arthur couldn't help but shake his head in confusion and panic. Such actions made Severus a lot more suspicious, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough time for personal problems. Severus then turned his head towards Statera and asked. "Now, what do we do about them?" Severus knew that they would interrogate the Assassins. But how they would force information out of the Assassins was a question Severus wanted to ask. 

"Well, It's my turn on this Operation." Statera sighed as she flicked her fingers. The Assassins held within a Random Room of the Abandoned Building instantly teleported in front of Statera. The Assassins slowly woke from their slumber as they opened their eyelids with confusion and fear written all over their faces. 

They started to nervously look around as they found themselves in a strange room. The Assassins knew that they were still within the City of Bez Erk, but it didn't elevate the current situation in front of them. The Assassin Leader woke up and saw the current situation. He gritted his teeth as he looked towards the Group that captured them. 

Looking upon the Handsome Men and Beautiful Ladies, The Assassin Leader noticed something different within them. The Auras released by them were a lot stronger and seemed to distort the air. With this simple fact, The Assassin Leader knew that he was toast. 

"Little Assassins, I hope that you would be honest when talking with me." Statera had a Soothing smile plastered on her face. The Assassins gulped after hearing her words as they could feel her Pressure pushing them onto the floor. The Assassin Leader furrowed his eyebrows and replied with a calm voice. 

"I don't know who you are, but you don't know who you're fighting. You should free us or else." It was a simple warning which gave Statera a chuckle. She never thought that an Ant would dare to threaten her. She then gazed upon the Assassin Leader and replied. "Prisoners shouldn't have much confidence." 

The Assassin Leader raised an eyebrow as Statera flicked her fingers. The Assassins found themselves falling onto the ground as they couldn't help but feel strange. The Assassin Leader furrowed his eyebrows as he didn't know what was about to happen. He then heard Statera's words in the background. "Why don't you stand."

An Order that kept echoing within the Assassin Leader's subconscious. He couldn't help but follow the orders as the Assassins around him did the same. They stood together without any emotions plastered on their faces. Statera smirked after seeing the Assassins under a hypnotic state. "That's easier than expected, but I guess the creatures within this Continent are weaker."

"Wow, H-how can you do such sorcery?" Arthur couldn't help but find himself in disbelief after seeing what Statera had done, Teleporting with a single flick while also giving them hypnosis with the second flick. What Statera had done was the same as those antagonists in the Stories Arthur had read during his childhood. It gave him confusion. 

"As expected of Outworlders," Severus muttered to himself though Lifa had heard his words. Ego walked towards the next room as the Grop continued staring upon the Assassins who stood quietly in front of them. Lifa was curious about the word Outworlders, so she asked with her calm voice. "Sir Severus, What are the Outworlders you kept talking about while staring at Statera, Persia, and Ego?" 

The Brutal Honesty of Lifa made Severus feel a chill within his spine. He slowly turned his head towards Lifa and sighed. Severus looked upon the curious elf and answered. "The Outworlders are Creatures from other Worlds. They are legends, and I have only seen Ten during my whole life." Lifa nodded after hearing Severus's answer though one thing made her confused. 

"Ten?" Lifa mumbled with a tone of confusion as Severus chuckled and replied. "I am honestly over a Millenia Old." Lifa tilted her head and nodded. Meeting a Millenia Old Man was strange, but Statera was better in terms of what Lifa heard. Severus then realized that Lifa had been within Statera for a while, so he asked. "Do you know of their Origins and who they are?" 

"Hmm... I can tell you about the stories I have heard." Lifa replied and walked towards Severus. She then whispered everything she knew, and Severus had numerous kinds of expressions passing through his face. Statera continued looking at the Assassins and asked with her Seductive Voice. "Tell me everything you know about the City of Bez Erk and your Leader." 

The Assassins nodded as the Assassin Leader spoke with a monotone voice. "The City of Bez Erk got ruled by Four Criminal Empires. But there is one who ruled the Four Criminal Empires. It is the Son of the World, Erk. He is the one who loves Aether and ordered the Four Criminal Empires to get it. The Last Attack was from an Elven Village, and Erk loved the Captured Aether, which made the Four Criminal Empire search for more. I don't know much as I have only heard such things through rumors."

"Erk is a powerful man that can destroy a City if he wanted to. But that isn't his most powerful weapon. His most powerful weapon is the fact that he is the Son of the World. The Son of the World title tends to have good perks. Most Nations wouldn't try resisting him, but some Northern Nations seemed to love the possibility of resistance." 

Statera nodded after hearing what the Assassin Leader said though Statera heard a gasped which made her turn her head towards the sound. She then saw Severus staring at her with confusion written all over his face. "Is there something wrong?" Statera asked with her seductive voice as Severus shook his head and replied. "Nothing is wrong, though you ladies are one of the strongest Outworlders I have seen." 

"That should be normal." Statera smiled as Severus sighed.

"The Information we need has been given. The only thing we should find is the guy named Erk." Statera said with her seductive voice though she felt a strange change within the atmosphere. She looked at Severus, who had a frozen expression. Statera sighed as she continued speaking. "Causing some chaos should be enough."

Ego walked out from the Room where Nyx and Lilith stayed as she looked towards Statera. "What about destroying the City he built. That should cause some chaos." Ego said with her emotionless and monotone voice. Statera smirked after hearing what Ego said and replied. "It seems that it's time for Persia to level the Ground." 

After speaking such words, An Earthquake shook the Ground the City of Bez Erk stood on. Statera then flicked her fingers as the Group teleported out of the Abandoned Building. Nyx began stretching her Little Arms while Lilith held her hands tightly. It seemed that the two managed to have a good time together, which was a good thing. 

The Group looked upon the City of Bez Erk as the Earthquake got stronger and stronger. The ground below the City bloated as the Earth cracked. Sinkholes began to form as a Giant Silhouette revealed itself. It got covered by the smoke created by the Dust as it looked around the City of Bez Erk.. Its Golden Amber Eyes shone with tyranny and dominion.
