Chapter 230: Eithalr’s “Peace” Talk.

Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]s Job [White Pyromancer] has risen from [Level 0] to [Level 15]

Attributes have increased due to level up

Max level of Job [White Pyromancer] has been reached

[Humanize (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Considering this is the center, I thought it would look less Shaturein shady, and more like an underground club. This tavern really gives that crime syndicate impression. Bunch of sweaty glaring men and quite a few women too, huh?

Hestia, no eye contact. You ignore them and look unperturbed, otherwise, we will get in trouble later.

Treat them like monsters? Show confidence to dissuade them to attack? Oh. Easy enough, I see.

Sketchy as fuck would be an understatement if I was trying to describe this place, considering with what I grew up on Earth. After all, Shaturein was that sorta place where the movie criminal underworld was dialed up to the highest possible point. When you experience something in the flesh that you only saw on the TV screen before, it really hits hard, like when I reincarnated or how I was inside a criminal-filled tavern right now.

Well, it wasnt as if I wanted to be here. After watching all the clapping and cheers during the slave auction, turning it around on the slave buyers and drivers was cathartic. And while Saori and the others managed to free the orphan kids and the other slaves, another hindrance had to appear before we could fully free the slaves from those slave tattoos.

And this hindrance was the current leader of the Artorian Yanderu Eluseuss.

Nothing to worry about, kraah ampf! Mhmm, this leader stated before taking a bite of a German pancake called Krapfen, Berliner, or Bismarck Donut. These guys are purely assessing whether you are worthwhile targets, so Miss Wolfkin got the right idea. Besides, if they learned what you alldid to Hamils auction house, I dont think the bounties on your heads would be worth risking their lives for, hahahaha!

As if his loud declaration was all that was needed, everybody inside the tavern besides our group resumed what they were doing prior to our visit. Cusses, laughs, drinking, eating; the whole place was lively again.

Even if one of them came at us after this talk, its not like we couldnt handle them Although, Saori doesnt look like shes really in a fighting mood anymore.

Saori and Tasianna were the main muscle in our slave rescue operation, and both seemed like they just wanted to go back to the mansion for a nice warm bath. Saori in particular was pretty much drenched in blood and gore when I saw her. Tasianna may have washed it away, but she still reeked of that bloody smell.

I then turned my gaze from the tavern goers to this leader person.

Yeah, I dont want to fight him.

My instincts pleaded to me to not even think about fighting him at my current strength.

Even if Ellaine, Grimnir, and Gael hadnt talked me into going with this possibly diplomatic way, I still would have tried to avoid a direct confrontation. If he wanted to kill us, he probably would have done it at the auction house without using Ellaine and Grimnir as hostages. Hopefully he was here to talk, and not to ambush us, since I have no idea if we could survive this without sacrificing a pair of [Room] runes to escape.

But what caused me to worry the most was KleaHatmas remark.

[Careful, you five. Its faint, but I can feel some demonic energy from him.]

Who is this guy?

Well, come right in. Make yourself at home, alright? Nothing fine and nobly, but good enough for a temp housing, eh? The middle-aged man then jumped up and crashed onto his sofa, relaxing his feet on the table, looking too casual for the situation. Gael accompanied him inside while the rest of us hesitated. Hmm? What are you standing at the entrance for, everybody? Come on in! I didnt invite any of my crew in here, so lets enjoy our talks, alright?

Friell and Kaian were sent back to take care of the kids and slaves, since he only wanted to speak with Gael, Eshe and her knights, and us from Aurora. Saori would have put them inside the subspace if we had known we would be separated from the kids for this long.

I do not detect anybody inside nor can I smell anybody else except for him, Saori stated.

Let us trust his good intentions. If he only wishes to speak with us, it would be for the best if we dont dawdle here. The children should be returned as soon as possible. Even now, Eshe was thinking of the kids. Fearlessly, she walked into the room, accompanied by her wary knights, ignorant of the fact this guy could be a demonkin.

I looked over at my party, trying to probe their feelings on this, only for Grimnir to pat my back and walk into the room. Call it a gut feeling, but I think Gael has something planned, Grimnir assured us.

Well, delaying this any more would be useless.

Good, good. Nothing makes a man happier than the presence of beautiful women, ahahaha! the guy laughed joyfully as we all sat down.

[KleaHatma, can he detect you?] Ellaine asked telepathically. Our telepathy link was only between the members of Aurora and the demon, and I was making sure that nobody could hear it outside of us.

[I concealed my mana and presence. As long as you dont use me, nobody will ever find out I am here. Besides, I dont think this person is a demonkin as you five are thinking. That demonic energy is far too minuscule.]

[Are you sure?] Saori replied.

[I am a true demon, dearie. Do not underestimate my ability to detect the presence of my lesser descendants. His demonic energy is not related to mine lust but he has one of the remaining six. Maybe through an artifact? Blood? A contract with a demonkin? Enough talk, though, focus on getting out of here alive, Ellaine.] And with that, the demon silenced herself.

The man pulled the bag from his belt and threw it on the table. Opening it up, he took another one of those Krapfen to eat. After he licked his lips clean from the glazing, he began speaking.

Alright, introductions first, right? I already did mine but lets do this the proper way. Gael, do me a proper, eh? You do like information dumps.

Sighing, Gael began introducing his old boss like a king, As he said before, this is Eithalr, also known as the Phantasmal Armory. He is one of the eight heads of the

Seven! Eithalr interrupted Gael. Gestien is dead. Forgot about how I cut it off? His head, I mean. The boss hasnt replaced his spot yet, so there are seven of us right now.

Seven heads of the Yanderu Eluseuss organization. Each head controls a different area to keep their presence and reputation up among the criminal underworld of Altrust. They all answer to a single boss who controls the growth of the company, with their HQ located somewhere in the Empire.

Phantasmal Armory, huh? If his moniker is a reflection of what he can do, then is he some kinda ghost smith or something?

Looking at him, Eithalr didnt look too intimidating for being an underboss of a black mercenary company known for assassinations and murder. His carefree attitude, at the very least, fitted his clothing choice.

He wore a simple red trench coat over his green shirt with black leather pants and boots none of it looked as if it was made with strong monster parts. Even his scruffy beard and unkempt grey hair made him look more like those fun, irresponsible middle-aged uncles instead of a serial killer.

Well, thats the gist of it, I guess. Satisfied with Gaels introduction, Eithalr took over the microphone. I am currently the fifth head, the fifth strongest of the company. Dont ask me why Im here or why I killed the eight head, cause I havent even told the crew that. Outside of the fact that Hamil wanted me to kill all of you, I dont really have anything against you. Gestiens problems went with him into his grave. They arent mine.

Youre not angered by what we did in Firwood? I asked cautiously. The fact he mentioned how Hamil set a hit on us wasnt assuring.

Nope. Heard about it, but I couldnt care less what grudges Gestien had. His fault for botching a job for a rich contractor. I even made peace with Gael and other traitors since Im the head of this branch now. You see, the boss didnt order your death, you understand?

So he has no obligation to fight us, but what about Hamil?

Then, you really are here to speak with us about something? Saori responded. Then, what about this agreement with Ha

Their heads, where are they?! The door into the room banged open in the middle of this discussion, interrupting Saori. As we turned around, we saw an overweight man in a fine suit appear before us. His hair was groomed and his skin well-maintained like a babys, heavily contrasting the common flair of Shaturein.

Ahhh, speak of the devil! Krampf! Mhmm. Gael ate up another Krapfen and took out another from his bag. What a glutton.

Eithalr! Where are the Kuek?! The moment he saw us, his face stiffened. Estas! Arent these the wenches and bastards who attacked my property and stole from me?!

Y-Yes, Master Hamil. That redhead and the

Uh, sorry, my hair is crimson red. Crimson red, I interrupted the slave auctioneer, Estas. If you want to describe others, you should do it properly otherwise you might attack the wrong gi

Silence your filthy mouth, beastman! How impertinent of you to speak back! A wench like you should know her place in this situation! With a reddened face, the fat man, Hamil, rebuked me for even daring to speak up.

Sheeeeeesh! What are you doing making me hate you even more, you fat skorr in human skin!

After giving me the stink eye, he returned his glare to the pastry-loving man. Now, Eithalr, explain to me why you havent killed these thieves yet! If you are here to show me an execution, I detest seeing them. Kill them as I requested and send their heads to my headquarters!

As the man was about to leave, Eithalr stopped him with a brow raised. When did I accept your request?

What is the meaning of this? The request I made to you to stop the people who were attacking my auction house! I went directly to you and you heard me

Yeah, I heard what you had to say, but never did I say I would accept it, right?

H-Huh?!

Fuck me, for somebody whose supposedly the brain for your gangs success, you sure cant think properly when agitated, huh? He then placed another krapfen in his mouth and continued speaking with a full mouth. I srait tat I will go and slook, snot tat I will asset sur rerest. (I said that I will go and look, not that I will accept your request.)

He paused to swallow his food, and then continued, And when I was on site, I decided not to accept your request. Easy as that. But, since I know you probably would come and complain to me anyway, I thought I would bring the people over so you can discuss this over. Am I not the nicest person ever?

Thank you very much, Mister Eithalr, for allowing us this chance to resolve this, Eshe suddenly thanked him. She then turned to Hamil. Mister Hamil, if you arent aware of this yet, I am Eshe of Sarkarfiina. I am one of the Goddesss saintesses.

W-What?!

While I understand slavery is an accepted custom in my homeland, the Empire of the Holy Emperor, I cannot say it is the same in the Kingdom of Artorias. Slavery is forbidden here. As such, I ask of you to seek penance and free the slaves you unlawfully are keeping and selling. Allow yourself to walk in the light of the Goddess, once again.

Hamil stayed silent, glaring at Eshe with a pensive face. Was Eshe actually successful with her speech? Eithalr.

Yeah?

Whatever you wish! Kill that woman and her followers now! All of them! Bury their bodies, dont let them ever be found by the damn Lycerepth! Enforcers! Get in there and kill those wenches, that man, and the dwarf now!

Ahhh, so he was worried about that.

Upon command, Hamils bodyguards charged into the room, readying their weapons to attack us. Clicking my tongue, I told Saori and Tasianna to stay back and rest, while Ellaine, Grimnir, Eshes knight, and handled these idiots.

But before we could do anything, our aggressors heads flew off their bodies at the same time. As their decapitated corpses slumped down onto the ground like stringless puppets, I noticed seven blue translucent short blades floating in the air with blood on them, the same number as the dead enforcers.

Wha-What?! Hamil shrieked out, stumbling back from fear.

Oi, oi, oi, I said we would talk, right? I brought all of you here to speak, so sit down and let's speak. No need for everybody to turn into corpses, right?

I turned around, looking at the source of that declaration Eithalr. He was leisurely eating his pastries. I was baffled at how he was able to summon those blades, unable to detect a magic circle anywhere. As quickly as the blades appeared, they just as quickly disappeared.

Those things looked more like they were made from mana than actually ghostly. Should I risk using [Mana Eyes] on him to see whats going on?

No, if hes anywhere Yorshka or Muraina tier, then he probably has his [Identity Blocker] at a high level, maybe even evolved like Astalos. I cant risk angering him for ignoring his privacy.

No, I dont need to kill you. I wont actually, but I pointed with my eyes at the person who would Eithalr. Or, you can answer my question and free those slaves. What will it be? I have no intentions of killing you, you retarded sausage filling.

Grrrk! Estas, hand it over Hamil unfurled the scroll he received from his aide and began speaking something out loud. On my privilege as the owner of this contract, every being bound to this mark of ownership shall be freed. Their shackles shall be broken and their marks terminated.

And once those words were spoken, blue fire erased the piece of parchment from existence.

There, done. What is the other request honorable Lady Hestia.

Were you the one who ordered that attack on Carine village during last years harvest season? Not only did they burn down the village but they also enslaved people there Were you also the one who laid your hands on some of the female captives?

So you were the ones to bring down Narubes group, huh?

Answer my question. Did you, or did you not?

I did. I also spent a night with a young woman, too.

My eyes flared up in fury as I heard him say that. I clenched my hand, drilling my claws into my scales as I felt an incredible hatred for the person right in front of me. As if he could understand my intention, Hamil stepped back, holding his hands up in terror.

H-hold up! You cannot kill me! If you do, I will make sure you will regret this!

Lady Hesti Eshe wanted to stop me, but Saori held her back. Even the usually rational Saori was fully in agreement with my rage. Lorena was also her friend.

No! No! Please, Goddess Aurena, save me!

You dont deserve the Goddesss mercy! I leaped forward, a claw clad in fire shot right at Hamils neck, too fast for him to respond.

As my claw approached, my memories of Lorena flared up again. She became pregnant with this assholes baby. She had to suffer cause of him. She nearly lost everything cause of this asshole! Sure, she was living well with her husband right now, who understood her plight and would marry her despite being pregnant with her assaulters child.

As her friend, I will make sure this person would never do that to other girls ever again.

But it seemed today wasnt the day for him to die.

Emergency! Get outta here! Lycerepth!

The police were here.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
