Chapter 139: Ch. 139 Identity Theft
( Yuto Pov )
* Step, step. *
I walk through the city gates as I cover my head with a cloak.
" Sigh, its too fucking hot." I spoke.
< Sir, you have mana protecting you from the heat. >
" ...It's still too hot." I paused before speaking.
As I walked down the road, I began to head towards a black auction.
Apparently, I was too late in stopping some idiot taking the Mahiru-no-yo for themselves as rumors spread that some idiot went crazy and started a massacre in a small town.
I just came from that town as I tracked it down to this city.
Apparently, Mahiru-no-yo became a famous cursed sword.
Every warrior who wants fame and glory would want their hands on to test if they're the chosen one.
And nobles who want to get their greasy hands on it just to show it off.
Apparently, I was in luck. They were having this acution tonight, and also Atalanta was here as well.
It wasn't that hard to hear about the rising hero Atalanta coming with a large group following after her.
' Speak of the devil.' I stood behind a crowd as I watched many suitors try their luck with Atalanta.
I saw Atalanta in a better outfit without those animal hides.
She was also wearing my golden ribbon on her wrist.
' There it is.' I thought as I moved through the crowd.
Shifting my body as I squeezed through.
With my high level of stealth, I passed Atalanta without alarming her.
I grabbed the ribbon from her.
And I dropped a card that had runes inscribed on it into her pocket.
Walking away from the sea of people, I held the ribbon up.
[ Golden ribbon ]
[ Blessing of Artemis. ]
( Description - This Golden ribbon has been with Atalanta in her journey as a hero as well as the blessing of Artemis. Some of the ribbon absorbed the blessing.)
[ ×2 Increase life force and protection for virgin women. ]
I put the ribbon in my inventory.
' This should help with Sakura.' I thought as I moved through the alleyways.
The golden ribbon would help her with the Fate strings, and the blessing would help with her health and protect her.
Passing a corner, I jumped onto a rooftop.
As I stood on top of a tower, I scouted for any buildings that would be housing this auction tonight.
" There." I whispered as I spotted a luxurious building.
' Heavily armed guards, there's three entry ways, two heavily guarded. The last one is bothering rooftop. If I were a regular thief, I would've fallen into that trap.' I thought as I observed the last entry way only to discover it as a trap.
" Now, for a way in." I thought as I looked away from the building to a target I'm looking for.
' Kostas. An ordinary noble who's a spoiled brat. Just inherited his father's wealth, who died for unknown reasons. I should do this quietly and fast, I don't want to hear the bastard talk.' With those thoughts, I just managed to find my target.
My objective was to kill him, take his identity, and his invitation to the auction, all without alerting his guards. Then, once I get Mahiru-no-yo, I'll dump the body on the streets and use the choas as a distraction.
" Sigh, fuck it. let's kill his guards as well. " I spoke as I dropped from the building and walked through the crowd of people.
Taking out a kunai, I cut a rope that was supposed to hold a wall frame.
* Thud! *
" Aaackk!! " The frame fell on someone as they called for help. People wat he'd on as they looked with horror.
' Sorry, pal. It's just business.' I thought as I threw a card filled with Life force to him to help with his recovery in the future.
Others also tried to help get the frame off of him.
" Help him!"
" Someone give me a hand!"
Just to add more into the chaos, I threw some smoke bombs, but these weren't just regular smoke bombs. They had chili in them.
This would target their eyes, making them harder to see what I'm going to do.
This is also great against someone with a great sense of smell, like Atalanta.
As I approached my targets whi was surrounded by guards as they tried to protect him.
Taking out a handful of Shurikens, I threw them into the gaurds' throats.
* Swoosh * * Shlick.*
All of the guards gurgle as they hold their throats.
" Space link. " I teleported the soon to be dead guards away.
Kostas tried to see what was happening as he tried to wipe his eyes.
I forcefully grabbed his head and pushed him to the alleyways as the smoke cleared.
* Thud *
" Ugh!" Kostas fell to the ground.
" W..who ar...!!"
* Crack! *
* Thud *
I broke his arm as I slammed him into the wall.
" No need to bother. I already got it." I spoke as I held a hand over his muffled screaming.
" MMMMHHHMMHHHHNNNMMMM!!!"
* CRACK! *
And just like that, I broke his neck.
Kneeling down, I went to grab the mask, an invitation for the auction.
" Hm? what's this?" I spoke as I grabbed a letter from his robes.
The letter spoke of his deal with someone to inherit his father's wealth to sell it for something big in this auction.
It also had evidence of him killing his father and brothers for the inheritance.
" Huh, I guess I won't feel bad about killing you." I spoke to the dead body before sending it away to hide the evidence.
' Transformation Jutsu.'
* Poof *
I turned into Kostas as I changed my mask with the auctions mask. I put the invitation in my pocket as I walked away from the scene.
