Chapter 37: Quest 35- Sungsen

After 3 months of aiding Shalzard Cirrus’s fame grew within the country and even to other countries outside of the desert landscape reaching to even Orario.

In Israfan the Vritra Familia were truly working to keep their place as many of their Familia has been cut down by Shalzard’s Golden Horned Demon, the Familia’s captain was fuming.

“That dam demon!!!!” he shouted as he broke a table. “Lord Vritra is it time for me to go and cull this nuisance! He has effectively cut down on the city’s trading! We also haven’t had word from Zolingham! We need to relay on the weapons forged here!”

Vritra simply looked at their captain and smiled as they turned to the city.

“Yes…you have waited long enough, that supposed demon has garnered enough fame so now once you find him and kill him our strength will be unrivaled, and their moral will crash even below bedrock!! Ah~ ♥!! I cant wait to see the faces of their failure!!!”

 

With their sights now directly targeted at Cirrus at the moment was currently on his way back to Sorshana.

“Boss are you alright?” said Jane with even more jewelry.

“Yeah…I’m just surprise that after so long I haven’t faced any higher leveled people.”

“Well we are hitting their supply routes and bases near the border.”

“Hmm…well I’m sure they’ll come after me eventually.”

“And when they do, we’ll leave as quickly as we well…um…shit I had something! Uggh!!!” Jane then left in frustration.

“…Nox.”

Nox comes and lands on his antlers.

‘No worries! I have regained enough of my magic to save you from some level 6! Probably… you remember when I first appeared!’

“So you have enough for another of that blast?”

‘Well not one as strong as that but enough to let you get away.’

“Then that will be good enough.”

 

A while later back at Sorshana’s docks.

“So how was the task?” said one of guards to Jane.

“Good! We got more stuff to sell.” She waved her hands as they unloaded some of stuff.

“What of…him?”

“He’s sleeping right now but.” She nods her head towards the top of the city wall to see a pure white owl.

“Ah that’s good! Well umm…we actually have some bad news.”

“How bad is it?”

“Real bad 2 legion of our men were captured and are being held in Sungsen.”

“Shit…Sungsen of all places.”

“We know its rather deep in enemy territory but well…”

“Well what?”

“Because we lost two legion worth of soldiers Israfan has been getting bolder with their advances so much so Warusa has started to imitate them and started to gain ground.”

“Dam…we will deal with Sungsen.” Jane then looks at Nox and it nods its head.

 

A few days later.

“Sungsen…Jane do you knowing anything about it?” Cirrus asked.

“Somewhat it use to be a place where Israfan kept its prisoners but now with the war they sold the prisoners as slaves to get more money.”

“Seems they live up to their name of the Country of Merchants, using everything to make a profit.”

“Yeah…anything…we’ll be there soon; I’ll be keeping watch.”

As Jane was leaving with her tricorn hat tilted down Cirrus speaks up.

“You know if there are any there your encouraged to free and save them. What you do with the slavers is up to you.”

She made a slight smile.

“Thanks but…”

That slight smile disappeared just as fast as it had appeared.

“I’ll feel better when I get rid of them all.”

 

When reaching a point where they could see the city, they traveled back a bit to be away from sight.

“We’ll go at night; everyone rest till nightfall.” Cirrus said as he looked out.

“Boss do you think it’s a trap?” said Jane with a drink in hand.

“Likely…we have enough bombs, right?”

“Yup! But I am surprised by how surprisingly strong they are?”

“Hmm well their only purpose for us is to serve as a way of escape anymore.”

‘And that I don’t want this to spread beyond my knowledge…I’ll have to do a deep look on all the grenades, good thing I numbered them.’

 

The city of Sungsen far different than its neighboring city’s as its infrastructure is completely different. It was built to do two things, one is to keep anyone who is of danger out with several deterrents and archers, two it doesn’t let anyone escape especially its prisoners or more accurately its slaves within its confines with several more archers on standby.

For him to enter the city Cirrus went with Nox high up in the air.

‘Do you have everything you need?’

Nox said as she’s far high above the city.

“Yeah, I have the colored fireworks.”

‘Hm good will be keeping an eye alright.’

“Then drop me.”

Plop!

Woosh!

Woosh!

Woosh!

As Cirrus dives into the city a dangerous foe awaits him.
