Will of chaos

Chapter 33: Prisoner

The next day I woke up with my arm ruffled and saw that the culprit was Diana, who had it in her mouth, she must be dreaming of food, I’m getting used to these mornings.

While I wait for them to wake up I wonder how I’m going to do the afternoon training, I think I’ll finally train with the sword, there is a martial art with swords that suits my fighting style, the name is Blade of Chaos, it has several variations depending on of the weapon, I want to learn from the knives and swords to complete my way of fighting.

While thinking about these things I feel something rising in the lower part of my body and I start to panic, I tried to think of things to reduce this morning phenomenon, like doing mental calculations, doing combat simulations in my head, and thinking about hunting for today.

“Hmmm….day m-master.” (Diana)

“Good morning Diana.” (me)

“Hungry, I’m the hungry master I want meat.” (Diana)

“Fine, but only after morning training.” (me)

“OK.” (Diana)

Diana, when she wakes up, is always looking like a child, she doesn’t like to wake up early, I pat her head and get up, and start waking up the other girls.

With everyone awake, we go to morning training and then eat the last bits of Goblin meat.

“Ibuki and I are going hunting, you two are going to get all the weapons and equipment and bring them to the cabin to see if there’s anything that can be repaired or reused.” (me)

“Yes Master.” (Érica)

“Yes Master.” (Diana)

Now that my common language is at its maximum I can talk to them normally, after saying this with both Ibuki and I go to the forest.

In the forest I used [ Detect Weak Presence: 4 ] about seven times before getting a reaction, I carefully went in the direction of the reaction.

When I got there were two Gray Wolves, knowing they are quick to use [ Intimidation: 1 ] to scare them for a second which was long enough to activate the [ Line Production: 8 ] and [ Line Control: 10 ] skills to tie the two together and call Ibuki to finish for her to gain EXP.

“Kill him.” (me)

“Yes Master.” (Ibuki)

Ibuki goes to the wolves and pierces their heads with the rusty sword killing them both.

Ding!

<[ You gained 6 EXP for killing Gray Wolves by party member ]>

I go to them both and drink their blood.

Ding!

<[ Your bloodline has become stronger and purer [ Gray Wolf: 53% > 82% ] ]>

After killing them I grab them both and carry them on my two shoulders with a lot of effort and go back to the cave with Ibuki, we weren’t very far so it wasn’t long when we arrived I saw the girls carrying trunks to the hut, I pass them and I’m going to put the bloodless corpses into the cave and come out of nine with Ibuki.

I keep hunting along with Ibuki and using [ Detect Weak Presence: 4 ] to find more monsters, this time it took me thirty minutes to find some.

We go in the direction the ability pointed and this time I see a human killing two Kobolds. Down to capture this human, I smell a familiar scent coming from him.

While he’s busy I use the [ Line Production: 8 ] and [ Line Control: 10 ] skills to pull lines out of all my ten fingers and control the lines to tie the human when he realizes the situation where it’s already too late to dodge so he tries to cut with his knife and manages to cut four of the lines but I controlled the others to dodge his attack and started to trap him.

“What ■□■■” (human)

He says something but it doesn’t matter, I go to him and bite his arm using [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 5 ] several times to immobilize him.

As soon as I see he can’t even scream anymore I stop and walk towards the two Kobolds and suck their blood.

Ding! Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 5 > 6 ] ]>

.

.

.

<[ His lineage became stronger and purer [ Kobold: 24% > 51% ] ]>

After that, I loaded the human and asked Ibuki to bring the two Kobolds.

On the way back I used [ Detect Weak Presence: 4 ] to dodge all the monsters on the way and as we were carrying a lot of weight it also took us an hour or so to get back.

Ding!

<[ His skill leveled up [ Detect Weak Presence: 4 > 5 ] ]>

When we arrive I take the human to the cave room where the girls were trapped and drop him there, Ibuki had gone to take the Kobolds corpses to the warehouse while I go to the cabin to talk to Erica and Diana who must be inside, I enter the cabin and I go to the new equipment warehouse and see the girls still packing.

“Érica and Diana.” (me)

“Hi master.” (Diana)

“Welcome back master.” (Érica)

“I found a human while I was hunting and I want you to take a look at him.” (me)

When I say I found a human Érica is indifferent, but Diana gets a straight face straight away.

“Where is the master?” (Diana)

“No need to worry Diana, he’s still alive, I used paralyzing poison on him and threw him in the cave you were trapped in before I came here.” (me)

Sigh…

“Thank you, master, I’ll take a look at it now.” (Diana)

“You worry too much Diana, the master would never kill someone innocent.” (Érica)

“You’re kind of right Érica, the reason I captured him is just that I smelled a poisonous smell coming from him and after I captured him I confirmed that it came from his knife.” (me)

“…” (Diana)

“If there was poison in his weapon he could be an underworld killer.” (Diana)

“I said and I was right, the master is always right.” (Érica)

“…” (me)

“Let’s take a look at it.” (Diana)

Now with my common language skills at full capacity, I can finally have normal conversations without using Érica’s telepathy spell.

I take the girls there and Diana takes a knife out of nowhere and with difficulty cuts the threads that hold him and start searching him first.

She confiscated two daggers, a knife, and a short sword. Then she removes his clothes which are black boots, long black pants, a brown shirt with a black leather jacket with hood and removes the wooden mask he wears revealing a face with a scar on the right cheek and a symbol on the neck that looks like the head of an eagle.

When Diana sees the tattoo on the human’s neck and faces she gets serious and uses the lines she cut to tie his arms behind his back and legs, then she stands up and looks at me.

“You did well to catch him master.” (Diana)

“Do you know him?” (me)

“Not in person, just your wanted poster.” (Diana)

“His name is unknown, but he is known as Vibora, he is an assassin who belongs to a group of bandits known as ‘Storm Birds’ who are the monster tattooed on his neck.” (Diana)

“I identified him by his scar on his face and the position of his tattoo, he is the right-hand man of the bandit chief known as the Storm Killer.” (Diana)

“That’s excellent then, let’s interrogate him and find out numbers and his location, this will be excellent for my plans.” (me)

“How to order master, but what plans are these.” (Diana)

“Before anything tell me, is this master bandit strong? Is his face known?” (me)

“Nothing is known about him, all his sightings he was wearing a black mask, all that is known is that they kidnap mostly noblemen and sell them as slaves, they also rob and kill many traders on the way, the Guild of Adventurers thinks his base is somewhere in the Valley of Blood, but so far none of his group has been captured.” (Diana)

With this information it looks like I’m going to have to rush my plans, I’m going to have to interrogate him personally and when I get the information I need from him I’m going to kill and eat him after ripping his head off.

I want to find his hiding place and then kill and all the bad guys and enslave the bad guy, besides he is a man who has knowledge about the criminal underworld which can be useful to me later.

Érica is right I’m not someone who likes to kill innocents, but I’m not someone good either, it’s not the reason to hesitate to kill bad guys and criminals, they should yield more EXP and skills for me than monsters and I also want to get the human lineage.

“(Hahahahaha)” (me)

“(I have to find a way to kill everyone somehow, this plan is going to be difficult, but I’ll have to take the risk.)” (me)

The Bandit Boss also had to be strong so it will be a great addition to my group.
