Opening an orphanage in another world

Chapter 118 - Ash vs the replacement guild master

_________________________________________________

[At certain district in Kiserre]

"Now then, would you mind giving me some info?" [?]

The ashen hair man, after cornering a member of an old follower. The ashen hair man realized that this old follower had his eye on the group of people coming from the open field dungeon, and he instinctively tries to protect the group.

He followed the group (together with the old follower) before ambushing him. Of course, the old follower did notice the ashen hair man, and even decided to confront him first, but alas, the ashen hair man prove to be far more difficult than what he initially expected, as he is quickly overwhelmed by the ashen hair man light magic

"You! You are!" [Old follower]

"Well, go on. I have the patience to wait" [?]

"Like hell I will tell you!" [Old follower]

With a strange cube in his hand, he smashes the cube to the ground, creating a very bright light that are supposed to blind those around him but

(Well, just have to pretend it works on me I guess) [?]

The ashen hair man, with astronomical high affinity towards light magic, didn't even flinch but have pretend that it does work, and...

"Yup, he's gone, just as I plan" [?]

In truth, he can just subdue the enemy in front of him, but decided not to, since his objective is to ensure the group of people coming from Estel is safe, plus

"Hope you will help me, Behemoth Slayer" [?]

_________________________________________________

Our group, having sense that there's no more of those watching eye, decided to investigate the Kiserre's branch adventure guild, with Alaric and I having to disguise ourselves. With Lisa help, we make a simple request of searching for a lost object, and as the receptionist processed the request

(There he is) [Alaric]

(Proudly showing the guild master tag) [Ash]

(At night, we strike) [Alaric]

(Understood) [Ash]

Or so he says, but the one that will be task to beat and capture him will lie on me, while Alaric will be securing the parameter, making sure there's no reinforcement coming to help him

With the two of us stalking the guild from afar (as Lisa excuses herself, since she will help Crow in investigating a number of nobles), we begin to search for possible location that are well suited for our operation.

Luck will be the main factor here, as we just begin the investigation, so we don't even know whether he will take the route that we selected or not, or how many people are with him. Nonetheless, if the optimal conditions are met, we will strike with no hesitation

With night approaching, and the adventure leave the guild one by one, our target began to take his leave as well. He is accompanied by two strong looking man. He himself look quite weak, but I reckon he can still put up a fight, and as for the other two, I'm sure I can beat them swiftly should the surprise attack works, but we have to make sure they wouldn't run and called for help

As they use one of the alleys that we scouted earlier this morning, the two of us quickly nodded to each other, with Alaric begin by securing the parameter (and transform himself into a bat afterward). And when he signal that everything is clear

(Silence) [Ash]

I cover the alley and the surrounding area with a large silence spell, as to preventing any noise that the replacement guild master will make

(Now!) [Ash]

Since I'm sure that they didn't even notice what we have just done, I decided to attack the man holding a sword from behind. With my scythe, I quickly slice both of his arms as to preventing him from using his sword.

The three of them, obviously confuse as to what is even going on, tries to retaliate. The guy with an axe tries to reach his weapon, but

(Fire arrows!) [Ash]

The two fire arrows that I used hit his eyes. Bull's-eye! His scream sure is deafening, but never mind that, I quickly did the same and slices his arms, and

"Haa!!" [Swordman]

"What the!" [Ash]

His arms, did his arms just regenerate!? How!? Well, no problem

~Slice~

There, back to square one.

And as for the replacement guild master, aah... his staff, it's the same as the one that's use by the mysterious falling guy back during the goblin raid, which reminded me

(I forgot to give it to the magician for analysis...) [Ash]

Well, I'll just give it to them later. Still

(Huh, so that's one of the functyion of the weird looking staff) [Ash]

I'm not sure whether it enhances one magic, or it have it own healing properties, or maybe even both, but

"No wonder you can quickly regenerate their arms" [Ash]

What a great staff! Should it prove to be harmless, I will take it from them and give it to the staff user among my siblings.

"Die!" [Axe user]

~Yawn~

And back to square one (once again)

"Well, this is way easier than what I predicted" [Ash]

Not gonna lie, it is.

The replacement guild master, with his only option being calling for help while keep on firing light spell towards me, begin to act desperately. He then fire off a large light ball magic toward the sky but

"Huh!?" [Replacement guild master]

"Too bad" [Ash]

Guess Alaric must have block it. Well, that light ball magic wasn't meant to deal a lethal damage, it's more like a signal for help, hoping someone to rescue him. So that's why, I don't think Alaric, being one of the royal bodyguard, will get hurts from it

"Go away from me!" [Replacement guild master]

As a last ditch effort, he fire off a concentrated light laser magic at me. Well, it is strong but

"No way!" [Replacement guild master]

Well, I just create a new item box space and use it to shield myself from his attack. Hmm, guess I can store the attack and unleashed it back when needed. I wonder if that will work.

As the replacement guild master try to fire off another attack, I simply throw my scythe towards him, targeting his arm, and

"Ughh!" [Replacement guild master]

With his arm gone, and his staff on the ground (which once again, being stored inside my item box), I quick tied all of them up and

"Not bad, plus, can you teach me the silence spell" [Alaric]

"Sure" [Ash]

As the two of us begin to tidy up the scene, a lady in her 30s come and greet us. Just like Mahsuri, she wore a baju kurung and a scarf covering her hair resembling that of the Malays, only this time, it's black in colour, and with a south eastern asian feature on her face, and

"You two really are strong" [?]

""!!"" [Ash, Alaric]

Just where did she come from, neither of us can detect her, and more importantly, she's strong...

"Ohh, don't worry about it. I'm not your enemy, in fact..." [?]

She bring out her adventure card license and

""The Saga!!"" [Ash, Alaric]
