Traveller's Darkling Legacy

He glanced at me, the revolver disappeared as soon as he spun it.

"You can even take out Fairess..."

I glared. "You were the one who cursed me for doing it."

I pulled the hilt of the sword that penetrated the man's leg, to be honest it was a bit nauseous to see and smell this much blood. Moving on a hunch I stabbed the tip of the bloody sword into the Keeper and sure enough the book absorbed the sword back. I then put it back to my pocket.

So the name of the sword is Fairess, I will remember it well.

"Is yours also came from a book?"

"Mine is Abyss. I have my own spirit sac so there's no need to carry it directly," he explained.

"That's pretty strong huh," I commented honestly. "Yea, this is a weapon that each spirit has and it can be used to kill fellow spirits, the Traveler uses a sword and the Recorder uses a revolver."

I nodded, "then they are alsoo.. spirits?"

Zenius rubbed his fingers which were splattered with blood. "I'll explain later, the point you have to understand is that they are the enemy and we have to finish this job before it goes astray."

"I met these two people at the house over there, it seems Kurth is being held there."

He nodded and stepped forward, I took a deep breath before following him. My eyes glanced back for the last time, I hope after the situation returns to normal the people here won't have a heart attack when they find two people dead on the street.

The door was locked, with just one kick Zenius destroyed the door and found two people sleeping at the table, it seemed they were the original residents of this street. I don't know what the clowns did but they seemed to make the humans throughout this slum area faint.

Zenius walk through the stairs with me still following behind him. I peeked as soon as Zenius opened the bedroom door.

A neatly dressed man was seen sitting unconscious in a chair near the window.

He is Kurth Holand.

Zenius took out a watch with a silver chain from under his long coat, "we still have five minutes to bring this man." I then heard some groans from outside, it seemed like they were starting to wake up, Zenius hit him and Kurth opened his eyes in surprise.

"You're late for work," with just that one sentence, Kurth immediately ran out in a panic, not thinking about why Zenius and I were in that room or asking what was going on.

"Huh, Kurth what are you doing from above?"

"When did you come into my house?"

I grimaced, they would be even more shocked if they left the house and saw two bodies just lying there.

"What do we do with the body?"

Zenius shrugged his shoulders, "i don't care as long as my work ends perfectly. Let the police do their job."

He then jumped up the window and turned to look at me, "we have to get back to our main job," and he just jumped. That bastard. Even tho it's only two floors, it will still be painful for me, like it or not i have to go down and give 1001 unreasonable excuses in order to escape from the house owner's questions.

I took a deep breath.

I have to find a way to have a body that is not as weak as humans to face a future that will clearly have many worse events than this.

Well for now, what excuse that could save me..

"AAAAAAAHHHH!"

"STOPPP!"

"HEY STOP CHASING ME YOU ASSHOLE!"

Fuck!

Fuck!

That bastard really left me behind with many people are chasing me with various household equipment and shouted at me. They threw stones along the road and invited others to follow me by calling me a pervert. I mean how would I know that the location of the room i described was their daughter's room. Damn you Zenius and Kurth!

How could they care more about me than the two corpses on their street!

This is not fair!

I tried my best to run faster as soon as i saw the end of the alley.

As soon as I stepped out and kept my distance, they automatically stopped as if they knew that the border line between soil and 'smooth' roads was a boundary they couldn't cross.

"Damn, he can get there."

"Boo! You bastard!"

"You insolent noble!"

I scratched my head nervously when they gave me sharp looks but my heart felt calm because I wasn't hurt. I immediately walked away before they really killed me with those scary stares.

I see Zenius standing in the middle of the road looking at the magnificent building called the Rosera Theater.

I reached into the Keeper and open it, I don't have a watch but looking at Zenius' expression, who already shown an annoyed face, it looks like we're fail, was it too late because Kurth had been kidnapped? 

"Kyaa! RUN!"

"There is an accident!"

"Fires everywhere!"

"RUN!"

BANG!

BANG!

My body jerked in shock, the sound of the revolver boomed and felled a woman in a wide dress.

This time the people around were not only panicking because the fire was starting to consume the building but also afraid of a man who was brandishing his revolver and shooting without hesitation was waiting in front of the theater door. Because here only has summer, the nights also only have warm air and the burning fire adds to the heat. I wiped my forehead which was dripping with sweat.

BANG!

BANG!

I remained silent. Half the number who made it out of the theater were all shot, kicked, and their bodies disappeared as the flames spread.

Zenius returned his revolver and suddenly he had his locker in his right hand and a black quill with a shiny silver nib.

"Even tho it was a little late, they all died in the fire according to fate. Case closed," Zenius seemed to scratch the tip of the pen across several pages and then moved his hand and the two objects disappeared. He then turned to look at me.

That satisfied look... is that a satisfied look at a job done or satisfied because he committed murder even he did it just to fulfill his job. The appropriate depiction of this man is the figure of an angel of death. His face was firm and did not show a tremor after killing more than 20 people. He was terrible and made my heart tremble. 

I know he won't hurt me.. but that seductive expression... I'm afraid of is that one day.. maybe I make the same expression.

At that moment I feel that this job was really not as easy as I imagined and would completely change my life in the future.
