Ch 9: Time

Ali lost consciousness from exhausting his magic and blood loss. Berg felt hopeless as he didn't know what to do. He wants to save Ali but doesn't know how. Berg directed his face toward the enemy.

Before Berg teleported here, he watched the fighting between Ali and the Alixqes.

A warrior of this level will never be a nameless person, and his means must be very rich, which makes Berg have some limitations. But still, his blood boiled in anger. The only way to break free of this situation is to wait for an opportunity to escape. He examined the options of a way to escape. His results are not hopeful.

It is impossible to escape in a short period of time safely!

Every time he tries to cast magic, there are interruptions from them!

But if he stays here anymore, the alixqes will kill him when he regains his power a little.

"Mark my word, you scum. I will kill you in the most painful way! Mark. My. Word."

After saying those words, Berg's face warped in ferocity and hatred.

"Boom!" His body started shaking violently. He forcefully used taboo teleportation magic despite the lack of magic in his body. He did it in an instant too.

Both Berg and Ali disappeared from the spot. The blonde woman tried killing them but missed them by a hair's breadth as her knifes passed through where they were standing.

Berus glared at her and said, "Our mission is to end the traitor, not to stir trouble, Norma. You've done enough of that."

"Did you understand that, Norma?" Berus said intimidatingly.

Norma's expression became ugly. She wasn't feeling well after letting them escape.

"Understood Sir! But who is he?" Norma asked.

"He is a Kingdom-level talent. He's a notorious character, never yielding to anyone."

"He's that strong?" Norma becomes surprised.

"At least in the previous generation, he was notorious among vagabond alchemists. Later he joined Stygian. At that time, he was only 25 years of age." Berus continued.

"They allowed an outsider in the organization?" Norma interrupted Berus's speech.

"Yeah, the organization was going through a period of crisis so they allowed him to join as he had something that managed to help the organization overcome the crisis. But now he is dead. Some say that the current stygian is in this level all due to his contributions."

It made Norma feel frightened. Despite being on the winning end, she was conspicuously silent, only staring at Berus's face from the sidelines. She felt something was wrong with this mission but didn't ask anymore. Berus had a face of thoughtfulness.

Fake Alchemist's name swept through the stygian organization and was considered an esteemed guest wherever he went. Some higher-ups even thought him to be the most accomplished alchemist of his time.

The world of Edea was a cruel one, especially when you were at the top. Everyone has tried to flatter the fake alchemist and win him over. But they never succeeded. So instead as time passed on, other alchemists started to become jealous of his success. Eventually, that became the reason for his downfall or so he heard.

...

"Halfway up the mountain now, nearly there…." Norma thought to herself.

The Darkness Valley is a sealed location. Not only is it hidden, but it's also quite easy to keep track of the surrounding, safe, and easy to protect. They have a makeshift hideout here. She and Berus carried Nancy here who was still unconscious after Ali incapacitate her.

When Nancy woke up, she realized that her head was throbbing painfully. Cursing darkly, she got up and checked her surroundings, expecting to see her body lying on the road. What she saw instead, was a ramshackle room that looked like it could barely house a family of rats, much less a human being.

Nancy looked apprehensive as she checked her body for injuries. No wounds were found upon checking but her whole body ached. Despite this different situation from what she expected, she remained calm.

"Does it hurt?" thus came the voice of her sister.

".....just a bit. But not to the extent of affecting the escape. If I rest up a bit, I'll be fine". Nancy scanned the place as she got up slowly.

"So we are going to camp in the desert tomorrow and Nancy, please don't make any excuse. You have to return with Norma."

"Where are you going, boss? You not leaving with us?"

"No, I have to search the house where he lived. But you will follow the plan I give you now. So listen carefully."

In the area where Ali and Berg lived,

"This girl's tits are so big…"

"It's also sultry."

"It's quite seductive, ​​it's making me hard…"

Adolescent boys were always hyper and full of energy, and now getting this chance, these seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys all had their eyes stuck on the ravishingly beautiful prostitute, and several of them couldn't stand it any longer. They directly took out their hard dicks and shot them in the direction of the prostitute.

"Phew…"

"Ha… It's so satisfying…"

However, just when these teenagers were indulging in lust, there was an abrupt sound of pushing the door open and someone came in.

"Bang——"

It's Berus.

The appearance of the Alixqes with a strong and rugged face caused panic in almost everyone. Some people hurriedly turned around to lift up their pants, some of them screamed subconsciously, and some blushed embarrassedly.

The leader of them, an ugly rotund fool by the name of Jardele, walked up to Berus while his man tits shook the heavens and earth.

He remembered that he had painstakingly saved every scrap of money for the two months Before the festival had been held and was starving himself in bursts to gather enough to rent the most beautiful prostitute to enjoy. But he still needed to share so he wasn't completely happy.

"Hey yon bitch! You never learned to knock. You almost gave me a heart attack. Bitch how did you enter this room? Wait! you are not here to suck us off right?"

"hahaha"

The three skinny and ugly fools behind him took their cue to snigger. Rolling his eyes, Berus sighed. The prostitute behind the adolescents was afraid because she can feel that Berus is dangerous. This is her instinct from working in this line of work. But the boys didn't feel that.

"This is for showing disrespect, cowtits." Berus directly slapped the fatty and he dropped off the floor.

Turning to face the other three, Berus spoke slowly but dangerously. "You have 10 seconds to give me every single coin you have on your body otherwise you'll end up worse than him. He's only enduring 40% of the pain thanks to his fat body. You skinny fools will have to bear it all."

They were so afraid after seeing Berus's fierceness that they really handed over all the money, even the prostitute. Berus accepted all the money without batting an eyelid. He is one who never discriminates against his source of money.

After they left, he came to the window and looked outside.

"Interesting!"

A group of men in armor set which was a mixture of a light plate on the thighs, calves, arms, and chest and cloth armor covering everywhere else underneath was seen running around the road. It made them look quite heroic actually.
