Chapter 166 I Want You To.....Die For Me

Originally in the novel, Kerene and Realen were from the same village, they even escaped together.

But right now, from Zick's observation, there was no sign of Realen nearby, almost like he never existed. He was not aware that Aeiron had helped Kerene this time around. Thus, he was not able to connect the dots yet.

Taking a turn, Zick arrived in front of a bakery. It was a simple shop with a signboard above it, carved on a wooden board.

Unlike the first time Zick visited this city, a few people could be seen walking around the streets. Still, most of them stayed home for fear of getting infected.

Ding~ Zick entered the bakery with steady steps.

Zick stormed through the shop, buying almost everything. The shop owner was surprised, the next moment he started treating Zick with respect and devotion. He was aware of him being a huge customer.

'Cheese? It's been a long time since I saw such a thing.' Zick looked at the thing he brought.

After inquiring about the other shop location that he wanted to visit from the shop owner, Zick paid a gold coin and continued moving.

He next brought many things, some ingredients that he was missing to complete the cure were also collected here. These materials were not rare, all the ones which were rare were already going to come into Zick's hand in a while.

'My identity should not have been revealed...they must have some suspicion but at most, they will just investigate my past again.' Zick's eyes shone in understanding.

'In other words, I should be able to visit the main base of the Everlor organization with no problem at all. Even if something happened, Levienel is there to take care of it.' This put Zick's mind at ease.

Leaving the material, Zick brought fruits and other few things.

Zick returned to where Levienel was.

Kerene had a dazed look on her face as she looked at Aeiron. He was the person who helped her before!

Seeing Zick coming back, Kerene immediately opened her mouth: "Sir..."

"Sir Leiren." Zick gave out a made-up name with no hesitation.

"Sir Leiren...This person, do you know him?" Kerene spoke in a surprisingly calm manner, unlike before, when she had a timid attitude.

"Hm." Zick simply nodded his head, thinking for a little, his brow furrowed.

"Why do you want to know about our relationship? What does he have to do with you?" Zick asked with a keen tone, showing his full interest.

"This person helped me while everyone was running from the city I was in before....becoming a vagrant." Kerene's expression portrayed sadness and grief as she thought of what happened at that time.

At that moment, Zick realized what happened. Because of Aeiron's interference, Realen never appeared here.

Then, what happened to Realen?

'No idea! He might have just died....' Zick heaved a sigh internally.

Zick nodded his head and sympathized looking at Kerene's expression: "Many people are suffering from the pandemic. I get how you feel, but you must live strong. The things we have lost cannot be brought back again but it doesn't mean we should give up."

Zick's voice was filled with deep meaning and charisma moving Kerene to the point of tearing. She was 16 years old unlike Varine, so there was no need for Zick's loving consolation.

"Yes..." Kerene looked down with shaking shoulders.

"Here take this." Zick handed a fruit to the moved Kerene.

Zick didn't speak further and instead looked at the teleportation circle. It was ready and Levienel also stood near it looking at Zick.

Zick picked up Aeiron and then spoke to Kerene: "Alright, enter the magic circle, we will be going to my base."

Kerene looked at Zick again before entering the magic circle along with him. She nibbled at the fruit trying to satiate her hunger.

Levienel activated the teleportation circle seeing everyone entering.

SWOOSH!

The four people vanished with a flash, the teleportation circle didn't vanish. Zick was planning on returning here after dropping Kerene and Aeiron in the base.

....

The demon waiver, Darton's palace.

The main hall, the teleportation circle near the entrance shone in bright light.

Zick and the others appeared upon it, surprising the wolfmen cub who was looking around. Seeing Zick, the startled boy calmed down.

The cat appeared before Zick from the ground, emerging right through the shadow. It looked at him with expectation.

But unfortunately,

"I didn't bring the wine with me right now, I just came to drop this person here." Zick looked at Kerene subtly.

He then continued: "I will bring the premium wine on my next journey. Take care of them until then please." Zick had a sincere expression while saying this.

The cat was disappointed at once. It had come running the moment when Zick appeared.

Zick looked at his surroundings, he could see the ground which had a layer of dust in it before leaving was all cleaned up now. The marble floor shone in a bright lustre too.

There were flower pots and some innate ornaments around the wall. The red carpet was also of high quality, not having any problems even after many years.

Zick moved out of the hall towards Varine and Seveleen. The cat was on his shoulder, looking lazy as ever.

Soon Zick arrived near Varine and Seveleen who were looking at the weird gem in between the garden.

The gem was glistening green in color and gave out energy filled with vitality, it was the size of a kid's fist. This gem was kept upon a platform made of marble.

Even without anyone saying, Zick knew the function of this green gem. It provided help to the growth of plants and trees.

'That explains the reason this garden is flourishing with so many types of trees and crops.' Zick analyzed.

Seeing Zick coming towards them, Varine who had a lost look at the sudden disappearance of Cat — relaxed.

The cat had been teaching her about mana and more about an assassin's profession. She was like a sponge absorbing all this knowledge quickly.

The Cat was really a treasure trove when it came to knowledge. Though its intelligence could not be said to be outstanding, its knowledge was extremely sought after.

A competent person such as Varine immediately got close to the cat. She easily understood the cat's personality and was able to reap a lot of rewards. Though she had not gotten stronger, she was keenly aware of the benefits brought by this knowledge.

"Miss Seveleen, pass this food to everyone, they must be feeling hungry. You both should also eat something." Zick had a deadpan look, but his voice was not as cold as it used to be.

Zick passed on the food from his space ring to Seveleen's space ring.

The job of taking care of these wolfmen cubs was immediately thrown onto Seveleen's shoulder. She didn't complain one bit, instead, she was happy to be helpful to Zick in some way.

Zick introduced the two people he brought, Kerene and Aeiron who was floating in the air right now.

Giving instructions to put Aeiron in a room, Zick handed over the cat to Varine. He headed back to Chertel city with Levienel again, both of them vanishing into the magic circle.

Varine looked at the person Zick brought this time. It was clear that this person lived a hard life from her clothes and appearance.

For now, Varine and Seveleen decided to gather everyone to eat food.

.....

Zick didn't waste a second. The more time he takes, the higher the chances the organization might give out the order of capturing him if he ever appeared.

The matter of the regretful necklace was really important to the organization. It could be seen from the amount of force they dispatched in this mission.

And this time around, Zick aimed to retrieve the material he ordered in the trading port of the organization. They were very important in his plan after all.

'If they try to do something funny, I can only order Levienel to destroy them all. Actually, with my current strength, there shouldn't be a problem with escaping or retaliating.

"Miss Levienel, how many teleportation circles can you sense in this city?" Zick asked, smiling lightly.

"Five." Levienel response was immediate.

Zick's smile deepened by a layer: 'Nothing can be hidden by a grandmaster hehehe.'

"Take me to the teleportation circle which is not in the city lord's mansion or the mercenary center," Zick said plainly.

There was a reason why he was taking Levienel around here and there. She knew the reason too.

It was because of her curse. If Levienel stayed at a place for too long, the curse would start absorbing life force rapidly. Even now the curse was working, but it was very subtle no one would notice immediately.

Zick's vision blurred for a second, the next time he opened his eyes, he was floating above the sky. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"It's in that house." Levienel pointed at the house below her.

It was an inn, just like how Zick thought.

"Let's enter it."

Zick and Levienel descended before the door of the inn. He entered it without any hesitation.

DING~

"How might I help you sir?" A young receptionist asked respectfully.

Zick walked before her with a plain expression.

"I would like you to...die for me." The moment Zick uttered this word, many mana waves shot toward the receptionist and servants.

They were not able to react at all, their heads were cut off from their body immediately.

Zick had no other choice but to kill them like this, he had lost the organization's seal. He could neither pay merit points nor prove his identity.

Now Zick could create mana and shoot it like this from any part of his body, without moving a finger. But the limit still stood, only a certain amount of mana could be used at a time while only using the body.

'To use more mana, I can only use my cursed sword....' Thinking of this, Zick thought of this sword while Levienel activated the magic circle. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

The cursed sword has not responded to any of his questions after their first conversation. It was like Zick was being fully ignored by the sword.

Because of this, Zick was not able to ask any more questions about what he wanted to know.

The teleportation circle activated shortly, bringing Zick and Levienel to the main base of the organization.
