“so this is the place.”
Arthur stopped stepping, he had reached his destination according to the map written. Though there were doubts, but in the end he decided to come.
The place is in a very quiet area. There was no sign of life there, there was only one black mansion that looked worn and old.
{Be careful, Son. I have a bad feeling about this place.}
Arthur gulped, squeezing the map while observing the Mansion. “Ya, I know.”
With doubt he entered the Mansion. Slowly and without knowing its inhabitants.
***
Worn and messy interior remnants hit the old mansion. Broken furniture, cracked walls, scattered objects and dust give the impression that the Mansion is not well maintained. Although the lighting of the lamp is still on, but the inside condition is very severe.
As Arthur was walking cautiously, hiding behind walls and in the shadows. He unintentionally stared at the two people who looked like guards. It was as if they had just come out of a room.
Arthur quickly hid. He took cover behind a wall and looked at them a little.
“Finally she's back again, The princess.”
“Ya with this boss will definitely not be as angry as before. But even so, she was quite charming. I want to take her to my room and play with her~”
“Stupid! Do not dare to do anything that is not-no, later you will have the same fate as the murdered member, lo.”
“You have a point, hahaha~”
Arthur clasped his sword tighter he was angry at the words of the two guards. It felt like slashing them, but now he was in the zone of the enemy territory. A rash action would kill him.
The two guards made their way to Arthur's hiding place. They certainly do not know there is a figure of a dive in this Mansion. They just want to pass by without realizing the danger that awaits.
When they were about to turn, the two guards were shocked by the sighting of Arthur behind the wall. Arthur quickly incapacitates one of the guards, who still has no experience and says obscene things about Fiona. He hit her hard enough to make the person faint.
The other guard was seen not receiving, he rushed to attack Arthur with a sharp weapon. But, easily avoided, Arthur grabbed the guard's arm and dropped his body on the floor. With his hands held, Arthur asked the officer something.
“Where did the person you brought go? The princess you mean is where?”
He asked in a cold tone. And his gaze was as sharp as staring at a piece of trash.
“No will say! Just kill me!”
Although he is a criminal, it seems that he has a high sense of solidarity in the organization, Arthur follows what the guard wants, and the, he can also guess where Fiona is because the guard has a key hanging from his pants.
“Good as you wish..”
Without hesitation Arthur slashed at the guard's grin. Blood fell down like a river, an unpleasant smell circling his kiss.
Arthur took the key in the guard's pants and walked into one of the rooms. This room was the place where the two guards came out.
So it's very likely that Fiona is there.
*Clark
The door opened successfully, displaying a dark room with candles as lighting. Arthur slowly tried his best not to produce any sound. When he walked a few steps, he saw a ladder heading down.
Without the slightest doubt. Arthur stepped down the stairs. As expected, there are several prisons and prisoners, but most people who are in prison are lifeless people.
Arthur's steps echo in the silence of the prison. Someone heard Arthur's footsteps, he looked at him and said,
“What are you doing here?” ask the figure who is none other than Fiona.
Arthur stopped his steps and smiled at the girl. “Sure I came to save you.”
“Stupid! Don't you know who you're dealing with?”
Arthur does not respond to Fiona's words and complains and lets her pass like the wind. He opens a prison cell and handcuffs that are on Fiona's wrists.
“Ayo.”
Arthur took the girl by the hand and hurried away from the prison. At first everything goes well, but suddenly Fiona stops stepping making Arthur confused.
He looked back at Fiona who was bowing her head. “What's up?”
Fiona looked doubtful and wanted to say something with flushed cheeks.
“How dare you go so easily. Looks like you really want to die, stupid girl!”
Before Fiona finished with her words, suddenly the red-haired female figure cut off her speaker. He was Feny, his eyes staring intently at both Arthur and Fiona as if he wanted to kill them both.
Sensing a figure that was quite dangerous made Arthur wary.
“Fiona, take cover behind my body.”
“Y- yes.”
Fiona releases her hand and walks over, hiding in Arthur's body.
“Hee~ let's see. Blazing red eyes and brown robes. So you're the ‘nameless hero’ that is now a rumor then, huh? Really a kind person. Saving people without even receiving a thank you.”
“But you are only dealing with goblins, bandits and some low-class enemies. You're actually not as strong as rumored, am I right?”
What Feny said was the truth. Being the eighth heir does not mean Arthur became very strong, it can be said otherwise. Due to ‘umbral plague’ infection Arthur had to be careful when using his powers.
If he forced himself too much to use the Darkness sword Technique then slowly the darkness would rob his heart and he would become a crazed umbral. Just like Aron and the other people he killed.
“You're right, I'm not as strong as people think, but. If only you weren't a big deal."
"Hee~ are you serious?"
Arthur pulled his sword he was preparing to fight. The two people looked at each other creating an atmosphere of battle.
*swosh
*cring
Arthur and Feny are crashing at each other. Arthur slashed the sword vertically while Feny resisted the attack using a Long chain that came out of nowhere.
Feny holds Arthur's sword and the girl tries to attack Arthur's head using the back of a sharp chain, but Arthur jumps up so the attack is spared.
Like a wild beast, Feny once again attacked Arthur with his chains. He threw the Long chain towards Arthur who was still floating in the air. Arthur looked surprised, he raised his hand to protect himself, but that was precisely what Feny wanted, the chain pierced through his hand and stuck to him. Feny twisting his body makes Arthur also turn because it is bound by the chain.
*brake
Feny slams Arthur hard, causing the teenager to vomit blood and the floor to quickly become a spider web with Arthur at the center.
“See, you are very weak... oh, that white hair, so you're Arthur Midnight?”
Because of the clash, Arthur's hood was open, featuring white hair that became the hallmark of the Midnight family.
Feny smiled sinisterly as she realized the figure that was in front of her eyes. While Fiona looked surprised to hear the name ‘midnigh’
“Third son without magic elements and out of the kingdom for months. I got a very good prey today. Fiona Rosemary and Arthur Midnight. Boss will be happy.”
< Drak Sword technique: First Style: Drak Slash>
The slash of darkness crashing at Feny who was wrapped in his own words, he was shocked for a few seconds. Not expecting a person without elements to be able to pull out a Technique like this, it was fortunate that he moved quickly and held back the slash with his chain.
Arthut's attack did not stop there, with a quick movement he moved towards the back of Feny, and slashed his sword towards Feny's head, but luck still sided with the red-haired girl. He bowed his head and jumped.
Seeing Feny jump, of course Arthur did not shut up. Again he took out the first Technique, making a slash of darkness. Because for now he could only use the first Technique.
“Cih, shit!”
The energy of the slash was stronger than before until Feny fizzed while resisting the attack. Smoke flew due to the attack owned by Arthur, when the smoke disappeared seen Arthur who was already in front of Feny.
‘Since he pulled out that black slash. His movements became faster. Damnit damnit! Looks like I have to use ‘itu’’
Feny thought, right at that moment Feny's right eye changed color to orange indicating something had happened.
