Chapter 21: Thugs and Loki Familia?
It was then when their 'leader', the level3 brought up his sword and shouted ''What are you scared of pissshorts? He's alone. No way a crafting bitch can fight against us all. What happens in the dungeon stays in the dungeon.''
He completely missed my point it seems.
The group calmed down almost as if being hit by a Bard charisma buff. He was at least charismatic. A shame really.
''And why are you attacking me exactly?''
''Ain't it obvious? You look like a juicy piece of walking valis.'' said a mob with greed.
I was planning on testing dark magic anyway. And they looked ready to draw blood, something that I may or may not helped them settle on by agitating them. No one likes a smart-ass.
It was hypocritical, but I feel a lot worse now.
The level3 was the first one to come unto me. He was decently fast, I guess. Although, it was nothing to me.
There were no fancy shouts, movements, or any other catchy phrases. I simply used my dark magic, and all the adventurers fell to the ground. Much like a puppet when you pull its strings.
There was a debilitating silence after that.
I was feeling a bit suspicious, so I left the level3 so that I can 'ask' him some questions. Although that seemed redundant, he was ready to answer any questions that I had with fervor.
It's a shame I will have to dispose of him either way. He knows too much, can't afford to have him screw me over.
-------
Dusting my hands, I got up from the spot. 'Well, apparently it was as simple as everyday robbery. They just do this as a secondary thing as I thought. Hmm, as normal as it could be around here.' I looked at the corpses around me.
I was unsurprisingly not that shaken up by the sight.
We were relatively close to Rivira. Yet, no one came close to us. It was a 'taboo' spot according to my answer provider. I had no idea there were areas like that. The more you know.
But I doubt something like this would happen on the deep floors.
I simply left the corpses there, after taking whatever consumable and valis they had on. I only took liquid assets.
Their other valuables were something that could link up to me. Something I didn't want for sure. Besides, they weren't anything impressive.
All around, I got around 1 mil valis, magic stones, and some potions. It was quite a sizable amount for a 5-minute job.
'Maybe I should switch professions.' I thought with a sly smile.
But this is something quite special. You won't find such a force robbing people. They would prefer to just earn their money instead. I noticed the higher-level people are quite prideful as well.
--------
I entered Rivira. It was dark. That must have meant that I have at least spent 2 straight days in the dungeon. I planned to head out right about now. And hopefully arrive in Orario while it's still dark.
In my peripheral vision, I could see some familiar faces from memory. They were members of the Loki Familia. They were the two executives of Loki along with the Hiryute Sisters.
[Gareth Landrock-Lvl6]
HP: 8750
MP: 760
The dwarf was stout, yet not as short as I imagined he would be. He had long brown eyes that mixed with his beard, along with the horned helmet he was wearing. It gave him a very Viking-like vibe. His HP was the most I had the pleasure of appraising so far.
[Finn Deimne-Lvl6]
HP: 4120
MP: 3760
The pallum was indeed as short as I thought. It was a weird sight to witness, that's for sure. Such a small body comparable to a child even, had so much power. He had blond hair going to his shoulders and blue eyes, giving off a doll-like appearance.
He was looking quite uncomfortable with how another one of his companions was looking at him in frankly creepy eyes. I could almost see heart eyes forming on her.
[Tione Hiryute-Lvl4]
HP: 1100
MP: 290
It was weird to see a thirteen-year-old looking at a middle-aged child-looking man with such an over the heels look.
She was not the proper lady she was later down the line. Well, as much as she could. She now looked a lot like her sister.
'Too bad Finn will probably never look at her that way.'
That man was on a mission. Whether that is a bad thing or not isn't for me to decide.
[Tiona Hiryute-Lvl4]
HP: 1260
MP: 120
Unlike her twin elder sister. Tiona was not focused on anything and kept looking around in undisguised marvel. Almost as if trying to commit everything to memory.
I guess they must have just joined the Familia. They even leveled up to 4. I thought they only did after a while.
I'm sure Gareth alone would have more than enough for a trip to the 18th floor. Especially with the supposed expedition going soon.
'I bet Loki sent Finn just for shits and giggles. No way she didn't notice Tione's crush, hell I think you'd need to be stupid to not notice it.' I thought shaking my head.
It was cool to know they were here, but I had no business mingling with them. And I had other shit to do as well. So I simply went the other way.
Besides, I'd like to stay under the radar for a bit more. I doubt I'll be able to for long, but by then things should be set out.
I got out of the Rivira and to the 17th floor. The goliath was already dealt with, must have been the work of the Loki group I just saw I'm assuming.
At this point getting back from Rivira to the surface was almost like a stroll in the park. But, I was a lot more comfortable on the deeper floors. There were a sizeable amount of parties on the upper-middle floors and up after all.
When I got to the surface it was still dark, the moon was in full view.
I removed my armor and put on some casual clothes. Simple black pants, and a white long-sleeved shirt. I also donned a leather coat alongside some boots.
I headed to the Hostess of fertility to grab some food. I have come to like the food and drinks there. The ambiance was also quite good, but it took me a couple of visits to get used to it completely.
As soon as I entered, a lot of people recognised me. I turned into somewhat of a celebrity here, maybe for the wrong reasons.
It was ironically easier to stay under the radar when you are already famous for something.
''Another challenge DrunkBoy?'' Shouted a drunk adventurer himself.
''Where is your captain?'' said a clear simp man, in an equally simpy tone.
I went ahead to 'my' table. After a few moments, I could see a silver-haired, and silver-eyed maid uniform-wearing female coming to take my order.
[Syr Flova-Lvl1]
Syr was an interesting individual, for sure. The number of customers that got swindled by her was not a small one. She was also extremely socially adept, and cunning as well. I'm sure she would have gotten me had I not known what kind of person she was.
''The usual Ken?'' She said smiling, getting a bit too close to me.
This is when most young men would start to fumble about. She was indeed that beautiful.
All the waitresses of this pub were. In different ways of their own.
''Sure. Just no alcohol for me.''
She faked gasped ''Are you sure about that? Who are you, and what have you done to Ken?'' said with mock suspicion.
I gave her a deadpan stare and she had the audacity to giggle.
''Stop flirting you two! You're making me feel bad.'' Said a black-haired, green-eyed cat-kin.
[Chloe Rollo-Lvl4]
HP: 1560
MP: 740
We had a decent relationship. It was completely platonic though. Her tastes and mine luckily didn't cross. She was a complete certified Shotacon.
I just flipped her off. She both went away a few seconds after, the pub was not going to run itself after all.
