The Greatest Assassin Trapped In The Novel World As An Antagonist
209.Convincing the Runecraft Forgemaster

By activating his Perfect Stealth skill, Ares walked among the guards safely and unnoticed. Even if caught he won't keep the guards safe so easily.

Every step he took implied a hidden intent, the direction of the path he took indicated a place leading to an underground prison located just below Erde's royal palace.

The underground prison located under the royal palace is the largest prison among the other prisons. This underground prison under the royal palace is a place of high-class criminals or people who have made fatal crimes.

Most of them were sentenced to life and worked mined for the rest of their lives. While those sentenced to death can be said to be a little because the kingdom of Erde's does not want to lose free labor.

Based on the information he read. This was because most of those detained here had quite high levels, making them much more useful than the residents of Erde's own kingdom.

The only reason they could not escape this dungeon was because it was impossible to survive after getting out of prison.

Starting from the structure, geography, arrangement of places, deadly traps and countless soldiers will make them die before getting out of prison. This place is right for the nickname that this underground prison has is The Abyss of the Dead.

With super tight guard and systematic change of custody makes the security of this prison almost no doubt.

"But for me it's not a problem at all, because I just need to do a few little tricks to get into this little prison."Said Ares whose eyes were watching the prison guards from a distance, his eyes not moving at all as he stared at the prison guards.

Ares also measured the strength that the warden had, and the result was enough to astonish him"Seeing from the strength they had it was only natural that no one had ever survived this prison."Said Ares who watched the prison guards who were guarding their respective posts.

The knights who became prison guards here had quite high levels and most of them were Knights-5 Star Circle to Knights-3 Star Circle.

"Looking at the power they had made him understand why almost no one could survive after getting out of here."Ares said with a faint smile. His eyes quickly caught the movement where the guard guards took turns using the post.

Ares walked in the shadows and ran towards one of the posts not far from him, where the post was quite remote from the other posts that made him choose this post.

The prison warden walked cautiously and glanced right and left, he never relaxed his guard when he was in a place where crazy prisoners were living.

He was only able to breathe a sigh of relief after entering his post which became a safe place for him to rest, because it was posted where the guards could feel safe because of the security that every post here had.

Draping his warden tipi he walked to his chair limp and sat there to let go of his fatigue"After this I'll make sure to make a resignation letter and get away from here all the way! With the salary I get I can go far from the capital, but which city is good to be a place to live?."The prison warden rubbed his chin thinking which city was the right place to live in.

"I have an idea, what about heaven?."

"Hahahahahahah!!! You could be! How can I go to heaven while I'm still alive, right?! Ahahhaahh!!! EH—?!."The prison warden frantically turned his head back and pulled the sword on his hip, but a hand grabbed his neck and raised it up.

"DIGGGHH!!! EEGHAHHG!! Let go of me!!."The prison warden thrashed to do everything possible to release the grip of the hand that strangled him, but how shocked he was when his face could not find the person who strangled him at all.

His face paled and cold sweat poured down. Under the eyes of a predator at the top of the food chain he is made unable to move.

"W-who are you...?!."

The figure seemed to be displaying an evil smile, an evil smile that could make him break out in cold sweat when looking at her.

"I'm a nobody, I'm just someone who's looking for power and you're the key to me getting that power...."The figure of the man clutching his head with his other hand, "{ Divine Chaos Magic: Memories Eater }."

His head suddenly felt an excruciating pain to the point that his entire body was convulsing, blood came out from every hole in his head and he died after feeling the most painful agony he felt.

His grip was released and the prison warden fell like a puppet that lost its thread, with a body that spewed blood from various places.

After getting what he needs, Ares then sort through and throw away the useless memories. Then use only useful memories.

He was lucky enough that the prison warden he had just killed was one of the oldest prison guards working here, giving him a wealth of useful information about this dungeon.

"Hmmm. This dungeon has quite complicated and complex routes. With this many pitfalls no wonder they make special routes that are easy to remember, good with this everything will go smoothly."Ares glanced at one of the spatial rings in his hand, he then rubbed it and smiled meaningfully"Let's see how he reacted after seeing everything in here, hahaha I can't wait to see the expression on his face."Ares said slowly.

Not long after that he disappeared from there as if he had never been there. Using the memories of the previous prison warden he could easily reach the deepest point of this dungeon.

There were no significant difficulties as long as Ares remembered his routes. Although he did not remember his routes though it would not be a hindrance to him as he stayed looking for people who remembered about these routes again.

After walking for some time Ares to the deepest point of the dungeon, this is a place where criminals with serious crimes are located and the most heavily guarded place.

There were at least two thousand warriors within each of whom were the Knights-5 Star Circle to the Knights-4 Star Circle. And the warden here is the Knight-8 Star Circle.

"Given this place being the place with the most strict guard is not strange the place is guarded by the Knights of the Master realm. Because everyone in this place is very dangerous, much more dangerous than the demons."

He then slipped in as the guards loosened, he walked past all the prison guards there without much trouble and quickly reached where the prison cells were.

"From the entrance alone it had felt how dangerous this place was, I could even feel a strong killing appetite from within it."Ares said as he stared at the entrance into the room containing the prison cells.

From the outside Ares could feel the horror of this room.the aura emanating from inside this room already implied how dangerous this place was.

Ares took a breath and exhaled it"Alright, let's see if the person I'm looking for is inside or not."Just wanted to push the door in front of him, the door was moving first which made reflexively instantly keep a safe distance.

"Hufff.. This is far, far more troublesome than I thought."Said an old man with a hand full of blood and his face with blood splotches, a Dwarf with a stocky body and a bald head with a beard and mustache that fused into a long exit from the room.

He wore Half-plate armor based on adamantium and mithril. Behind him there is a battleaxe that at a glance already implies how heavy and strong the person who carries it.

Ares could directly recognize the old man, the old man was a former royal councilman who occupied the position of Great Commander. In other words, the Dwarf before him was the previous Great Commander. He is Vikas Firebreath!

"Haaaa.. when he has a talent that is quite great, but why would he even betray? I don't think, Oh—?."Vikas turned his head down and looked for quite a while, "Did someone just stand here? Because I can feel something here."Said while looking at where Ares was standing before.

Ares held his breath and his face paled. He wouldn't have expected Vikas to be this sensitive.

Vikas carefully mounted the horses pulling the battleaxe behind him and glanced right and left, he vigilantly looked at the conditions around him carefully before sighing a long sigh.

"Huufff... It just seems like my feeling, why does this happen so often after I enter this room, huh? it's so weird."Vikas said as he let out a long sigh, "But lie!!."Vikas pulled his battleaxe and moved quickly towards the place where he was sure someone was.

With one swing filled with power he attacked to create wind pressure that blew the dust there, but there was nothing there.

"It seems right that I'm the only one who's too sensitive today, shit because he's in my mood for the worse!."Vikas snorted in annoyance and put his battleaxe back in, he then walked away from there while grumbling indistinctly.

On the other hand, Ares can only stay at the place where Vikas attacked before. That place is really where Ares is and Ares can only pall.

"The instinct is very sharp from my guess, such instincts can only be obtained after passing through thousands of life and death experiences. He's just like me."Ares looked at the path Vikas took.

The door in front of him was tightly locked which made him have to use useful magic to unlock anything. The door in front of him opened a little and from that gap Ares entered and closed the door again.

Inside he could see there were specially made cells. The cell door is made of mithril metal mixed with adamantium, and each cell can only be inhabited by one person but the number of prison cells in front of him is now far beyond his expectations.

The prison cells here are at least five hundred rooms. Each prisoner in it is restrained using a special bracelet and necklace that can make the flow of energy in the body becomes chaotic and makes the body become helpless, and has many more effects.

But that's not the main focus now. The focus was due to the gripping aura that mixed into one and created a much more intimidating aura.

Ares even felt the aura in the room was the same as when he was dealing with a Dragon Lord.

"Before that let's see what kind of prisoners are being held here, I will postpone first meeting with Rokan."Ares quickly checked the status window each prisoner had.

The result was enough to make him dumbfounded. At least half of the prisoners here were Mage or Knight realm Masters, some even nearly reached GrandMaster realm.

Those detained here are mostly prisoners of grave and very dangerous crimes. Serial killers, Bounty Hunter, Assassin, Mercenaries and more.

"It looks like I should use the same thing as when I brainwashed Ulbert. But for now I prioritize talking to him first."Ares glanced at one of the cells, the cell where the Runecraft Forgemaster was being held.

From behind the small window on the door he could see the state of the Runecraft Forgemaster. His entire body was bandaged in wounds and dealt only as rough as he could, his entire face was battered and his eyes flashed out a look of eyes like a dead fish.

"It's a pity to let him die like this, I still need his current abilities and skills. So don't die yet."Mumbled Ares softly, then touched the cell door of the Runecraft Forgemaster room"{ Unlock }."Ares used the High Tier magic commonly used to unlock all sorts of keys.

The cell door of the Runecraft Forgemaster room slowly opened and Ares entered it and closed it again. Ares could only stare at the figure of the Runecraft Forgemaster in a sliver because of his circumstances.

He was not even aware of Ares' arrival at all when Ares was standing in front of him.

'Looks like he's really shaken huh? Until it breaks his mind like that, I hope that something I brought this time will make me aware of the situation.'Ares then took out a piece of paper from his spatial ring and sat down before the Runecraft Forgemaster.

He then held onto the head of the Runecraft Forgemaster"It would be suspicious if the entire wound was healed, hence I would use mid Tier magic alone."Ares closed his eyes, "{ Lion Heart }."

Ares used Mid Tier Magic which was useful to recover one's mental state, this magic was suitable to use on the Runecraft Forgemaster whose mental state was unstable.

His eyes opened and only a moment later came to his senses, he chuckled as he glanced at Ares.

"For a long time no see, Mr. Ares. Are you here to see this old traitor?."He told Ares.

"I'm not going to talk because I don't have much time. I can free you from here with the authority I have, in exchange can you redevelop the forging art of Runecraft?."

The short words from Ares made Runecraft Forgemaster's forehead wrinkled, he still could not understand Ares's meaning because his mental state was still unstable. But at least he could understand Ares's intentions.

"Do you intend to revive Runecraft's forging art? If so better forget it, Runecraft forging art is extinct even I myself can not develop it to the same level as his heyday."

"The Runecraft forging art has been wiped out, there is nothing left but low grade and middle grade runes that number only a few. What are you raising up for, after all, something that's dead?."Runecraft Forgemaster asked with a disdainful smile, that disdainful smile he did not aim at Ares but himself.

Runecraft forging art is a legacy of his people, this is something he very much defended despite having to sacrifice his life.

Because Runecraft forging art is the self-esteem of the Hobbit nation, if the art of forging Runecraft die is the same as making the Hobbit nation's self-esteem die.

But now it was all meaningless because the betrayal he had committed made the Hobbit nation's pride completely fall, he said, there was nothing left but the hope of those who still believed Runecraft forging art would rise and prosper again.

But it was all just wishful thinking because the position of the Hobbit Nation in the kingdom of Erde's is now on the edge. Because the rebellion he did made the people hate the Hobbits and just wait for the time until the people were expelled from here.

Ares could understand the pain that Runecraft Forgemaster felt. Guilt, incompetence, fear, anger, sadness, helplessness and despair are the feelings Runecraft Forgemaster has experienced all along.

The brainwashing magic that he had previously mounted could be said to be just a mere push, as the desire to kill was held by the Runecraft Forgemaster.

Ares smiled as if his plan was complete, and he handed a piece of paper in his hand to the Runecraft Forgemaster"Don't feel guilty, what you're doing is right just that you're not thinking about what's going to happen next."

Runecraft Forgemaster frowned"What do you mean by that word?."Said Runecraft Forgemaster who still did not understand Ares' words, he also stared at the sheet of paper proffered at him, "And what is this really?."

"You'll know when you read it."Said Ares who smiled meaningfully, despite feeling suspicious Runecraft Forgemaster still felt curious on a piece of paper in the hands of Ares.

He then received it and read it sheet by sheet. The more he read the more he knew the truth.

The piece of paper that Runecraft Forgemaster read was a secret document that recorded King Fritz's attempt to exterminate Runecraft. It was written what efforts were made by King Fritz to exterminate the Hobbit's forging art.

"Where did you get this?."

"From the branches of government offices that exist in every city that is colonized by the Demon God army. As far as I know there are many in the safe but this is all I can save, the one in your hands is now a composite of all the secret documents I can still save."Turur Ares.

"That's it."Runecraft Forgemaster smiled and laughed out loud. The sound of his laughter echoed frightened the person who heard it.

For those who hear the sound of his laughter can feel deep anger, sadness and despair. The sound of laughter makes anyone who hears it goosebumps feel the feeling inside.

"So what do you want to do now, Rokan? A vendetta? Or the others?."

"uh? A vendetta? Can I really do it? From the very beginning I could not do anything, my people became like this because of me. Rather than make things worse, I'd rather just die."

"And leave behind all the responsibilities you have?."Ares said as he raised his eyebrows.

Runecraft Forgemaster wanted to answer Ares' words but his tongue felt a little funny, Ares's short words really pierced his heart.

"I don't care if it's your will, but think about all the responsibilities I have when you die. You're the Runecraft Forgemaster who controls all of Runecraft's remaining knowledge, if you die just as much as you're gonna make your people die. Do you want your people dead?."

Runecraft Forgemaster fell silent at Ares's question. Nothing that came to his brain could answer Ares's question.

"Rokan you're the only Hobbit to have mastered all of Runecraft's remaining knowledge. No one understands runes as far as you are, if you die it's the same thing as making a thread of history that from the very beginning is almost disconnected into a completely disconnected."

"Your death is the death of the entire Hobbit nation. Because you want to rebuild the history of Runecraft with me."Ares said as he thrust his hand.

Runecraft Forgemaster looked at Ares doubtfully. The doubt is the doubt that Ares will leave him like those who once said the same.

A lot of people are trying to re-develop Runecraft to the point where Runecraft is in its prime, but it's all just nonsense because none of them have stayed by its side defending Runecraft.

Most of them have given up and only mined as usual, while the traitors choose to learn the art of the Dwarves and surrender to the culture of their own people.

Although doubtful Runecraft Forgemaster somehow feels if Ares can develop Runecraft until his glory returns.

Runecraft Forgemaster smiled faintly and then dispelled the doubt in his heart and reached for Ares's hand"From now on I will rely on you, Ares."

"Yes, for sure, now I just have to beg Your Majesty to forgive at any cost. Until the time comes be patient."Ares said with a meaningful smile.

Runecraft Forgemaster snorted and nodded"Then leave my regards to my daughter, I'm sure she's very worried about my current situation."

"definitely. Then goodbye."Said Ares whose body disappeared from the sight of the Runecraft Forgemaster.

Runecraft Forgemaster could only smile at Ares who left without a trace as if he had never been there. Ares reappeared in the middle of the detention room.

"Haha... Runecraft Forgemaster is on my side now just to raise the spirit of the Hobbit nation to develop Runecraft again, but."Ares glanced at the four passageways filled with prison cells.

"I'll make them dream good first."Ares smiled meaningfully, "{ Divine Chaos Magic: Dream of Infinite Torture }."

After she used the magic, the sounds of despair could be heard in every prison cell. Shouts, roars and cries of despair sounded so clearly echoing all over the place.

Ares then walked out of the room with a small laugh"Died a little more...."
