This is bad.....this is very very bad! Parker, who was the king of this city just attacked someone and it didn't work?!
The woman with the bodyguards had a straight face even though inside her mind she was panicking about what she should do, or rather what she COULD do.
After a moment of thinking, a crazy idea came to her mind that made her smile psychotically from ear to ear.
After reaching Zenis, she placed a light hand on his chest and began to speak in the sweetest voice she had.
,,You're pretty resilient huh? Not only did you survive the blow from the king, but you even act like it wasn't a big deal,, she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close to her face.
,,I love strong people a lot,, she leaned into his ear and whispered ,,How about we go to my room for some fun? I live in a hotel not far from here-,,.
,,Who are you?,, Zenis asked suddenly and moved away from her. He really wasn't in the mood or time to fool around right now and even though he was curious about her and the cashier, Parker was his first priority.
,,My name is Lyria and I'm the right hand of the man who rules the mafia in this city~,, she laughed proudly and put her hand on his chest.
,,we could use someone like you, what do you think? I promise I'll treat you really good~,,.
Zenis looked at her and laughed ,,Ha! As if I needed someone weak like you in my life. Mafia? If you don't have even 1 mage then don't come after me,,.
At his insulting words she pushed him away and stood in a fighting position ,,These words will cost you your head!,,.
At her fighting stance, Zenis looked at her and laughed more ,,Such a cute fighting stance wouldn't help against anyone,, Zenis laughed and put the scissors in his pocket since they were not needed.
,,And besides... I don't have any reason to fight a soon-to-be-dead person anyway, because with your mindset you won't live much longer,, Zenis finished, took the alcohol he bought and left the store leaving the confused people behind.
After leaving the store, Zenis walked over to Parker who was leaning against the wall not far from the store ,,And here I thought you were going to fight them, quite a disappointment,, Parker chuckled and pulled away from the wall.
,,There's no need to worry about someone who's not important,, Zenis shrugged and walked away with Parker.
Inside the liquor store, a now angry Lyria slammed the counter and glared at the owner ,,Give me the money now or-,,.
Before she could speak, a dark blue mortal opened above her and her bodyguards heads and in the blink of an eye, a person fell out of it crushing the bodies of the bodyguards under their boots.
Shocked, Lyria quickly got into position and immediately noticed the unusual style of dress the person was wearing.
The person had a black mask with a red cross protruding where the nose was probably, a black cloak covering her entire body completely and black boots.
Without thinking, Lyria stomped on the ground and in an instant her shadow spread across the entire room covering every inch until Lyria and the person were standing in the middle of the darkness.
,,We'll see how this goes!,, Lyria laughed and took a step back, blending into the darkness around her completely.
Trying to attack the person from behind, she made a dagger out of darkness and tried to stab them from behind only to be shocked that the person dodged easily without looking.
Before Lyria could react, the person grabbed her with one hand by the wrist and the other by the neck ,,Thank you for understanding how your senses work, although it wasn't that hard to understand,, the person muttered.
To Lyria's uncomprehending expression, the person explained ,,There's magic all over the room so you can't see, it also stinks all over here so you can't smell me, the only explanation is your hearing,,.
Lyria's face turned completely white, this person had found out her strengths and weaknesses in 5 minutes, one wrong move and it could cost her her life.
Before Lyria could say a single word, the person lifted the mask revealing her mouth and screamed loudly, blood started to flow from Lyria's ears and all the windows in the store shattered, forcing their way through the darkness, destroying the domain Lyria had created.
A short distance from the store, Zenis and Parker looked back, with surprised expressions because neither of them expected something like this to happen.
,,You'd be surprised, but this happens annoyingly often,, Zenis muttered and raised his fist against Parker ,,rock paper scissors now who's going to solve this?,, With a grin, Parker nodded and raised his fist, but the moment he did, Zenis opened his palm, ,,paper, I won, wait here,, Before Parker could say anything, Zenis had already run back to the store, this could be the perfect chance to win the affection of many people. In the store, an unknown person ripped off Lyria's blindfold revealing 2 large buttons sewn over her eyes. ,,Such a disgusting thing,, the person muttered and raised their hand about to rip the buttons off her eyes, when at that moment she felt something and instinctively dodged Zenis's fist.
Zenis who missed the attack hit the person with the back of his hand forcing her to take a few steps back from Lyria while he checked the buttons on her eyes and slowly blindfolded her as she were before.
The person, now slightly injured turned to the exit where Parker was already standing with an evil grin ,,as long as you are in this store you are his, take a step out and I will rip your head off,,.
The person now helpless ran towards the guy behind the cash register who had been calm until now and opened his mouth from which light was coming out as if something was coming out of his throat.
Before that happened the person forced their hands into his throat and forced out a piece of his throat with a strange light.
As the man choked on his blood and air, he looked in horror at the person who showed him the red stone they had torn from his neck.
It was probably meant to be a mockery, but to the surprise of the others, as soon as the man looked at the gem his eyes melted and all life force drained from his body being absorbed by the gem and his soul shattered into nothingness.
Thanks to such a display of power, the person carefully but quickly hid the gem in their pocket and created a portal behind the now dead cashier.
As soon as Zenis appeared behind them, the person was already halfway into the portal and was dragging the cashier's corpse behind him who knows why.
