Chapter 42: Treacherous Bastards
Chapter 42: Treacherous Bastards
It wasn’t like the thought and desire to add human Spirit in the Spirit Kodoku didn’t cross his mind.
But he didn’t want to kill people for it...’Unless they want to kill us,’ Almond’s eyes glinted.
Almond stepped out and saw four young men in their late teens, along with a man in his mid-twenties.
There was also when Natalia was shooing them, waving the vegetable knife at them, "Go away, we are busy."
"Leave," Lily said, looking at them with a deadpan expression.
"Woah, chill, chill. We were just asking."
"And it seems you are not alone, eh?"
One of them spoke upon seeing Almond coming out.
"Haha, what luck you got, friend. Living with two beauties."
Almond looked at them, feeling something amiss in their smiling and friendly face.
But he didn’t want to sound sour, given their friendly tone.
"Yeah, I guess I’m lucky," Almond smiled. "Anyway, if you’ll excuse us now, we could focus on our things."
"Yeah, yeah, haha. Enjoy."
"We might run to each other again, friend. See you, ladies."
The group left laughing and smiling but with a sinister air that Almond could strangely feel.
"Bunch of trash," Lily muttered and continued peeling the potatoes.
"Did you feel it, too?" Almond asked as he sat beside her and started helping.
"What did you feel?" Natalia glanced at Almond while cutting the potatoes.
The group that approached Lily and Natalia while they were preparing the meal was one such group.
The four eighteen-year-old young men had entered the Labyrinth’s first floor a month ago but only reached Silver level 5 or 6 before leaving.
And the reason they didn’t progress all the way was nasty and criminal.
During their first run, they had a taste of the debauchery they could do and had their first kill as well. It was none other than the two girls they brought with them to their party.
These four assholes had fun with those girls for two days at the Valley of Shadowsong, a big area just like Fairy Mountain, since they were close to that area when they arrived on the first floor the previous time.
They also didn’t have a Knight at that time as they hadn’t entered a Guild yet.
But after entering the Guild, they waited a month before entering the Labyrinth again. This time, they had a Knight with them sent by the guild to observe their performance.
As the moon shone in the sky, the Knight went to sleep in the tent while the four youngsters sat around the firecamp, talking with each other using Magic Whisper.
"What’s the plan, guys? Do we tell that Knight about it?"
"That guy seems upright and all, what if he disagrees?"
"Damn, I’m telling you guys, we are doing this," one of them licked his lips with a crazed expression as he remembered the experience a month ago. "Don’t tell me you all didn’t enjoy that? I mean, who the fuck can catch us here?"
"We gon get those two bitches for sure, but the topic, how do we go about at it? And what about the Knight?"
"I have an idea."
Everyone looked at the dark-skinned guy with a military cut in the group, their ears perking.
"First, we’ll leave once those girls leave. We have to follow them, and we have a good skill for it thanks to Jayson’s Eagle Eye skill. He can look at them from afar."
Everyone nodded before a blond-haired guy called Roderic asked, "Good. What about the Knight, Izaak?"
"Once we arrive at a relatively isolated place in the Frostbite Cliff somewhere, I’ll ask the Knight about the main question," Izaak grinned. "You’ll stay in his blind spot and look at my hand."
"I’ll ask him what does he think about capturing those two bitches and having fun in our last day here. If he expresses displeasure and tries to lecture us, I’ll show my first two fingers," Izaak’s eyes glinted. "At that sign, you three will attack him at once."
"He needs to die, or he will kill us if we fight, not all, but some of us might die in the fight even if he is lower level since he got better skills than us."
