Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 61: Associate

As soon as he wore the communic blade he inserted his mana in it. After waiting for a while the vision of Felishia surged out of the gauntlet like a hologram.

"Hey dear! I thought you forgot about me. How have you been? I tried to contact you a few times but I wasn't even able to reach you." She asked with her regular sensual voice. Some people were roaming around in the background of her video and they closely resembled elves. He ignored it and began speaking.

"I am fine... Well, a lot of things happened recently. Sorry for not picking it up, I held it in my inventory. Anyway, I went to the temple of Judas. What about you? Who are they in your background? They strangely resemble elves. "

Her face showed a hint of surprise as soon as he said he went to the temple of judas.

"Hmm, They are drow you can call them dark elves. Okay, let's leave it at that. Did you find a jade spear there?" She questioned.

He knitted his brows.

"Yeah, currently it's in my ally's possession. why did you ask?"

"You made friends? Anyway, Can you ask your friend to sell it to me? I am willing to pay any amount, your colleague demands... Or if you tell me their contact address I can negotiate."

"Her name is Cinzia. The former commander of the silver spear clan. I think currently she is in Dracton city but, I don't perfectly know her location..."

As she nodded her head, and he continued his speech.

"Felishia you know our contract right? I have a request... She is trying to build a clan can you help her a bit? She is wanted by the Zerast clan so, I hope you would help her."

She smiled at him mischievously.

"Fufu, Is she your girlfriend or something? Okay, I will help her and you don't need to be hesitant about asking for help since you need to pay for it by doing the favor back."

"Thanks,"

"Alright, bye! I have things to do. I hope to see you soon." With that, she closed the communication off.

'Hmm, I don't know what a witch of seven sins can do but, If she bestowed me a power she would possibly be a powerful person, So I think this a good choice...'

'Hah, Now I feel a little burdenless.' He thought inwardly and smiled.

If he wanted he could have gone with her but, he chose to stay to train. Even if he had gone he would have mostly struggled to even do a single job without getting into trouble so, his choice was rather good.

'I would rather change my location.' He thought and decided to migrate to the grassy land where they first landed after getting attacked by sky ogres.

He trained all the way towards the grassy land while fighting monsters single-handedly. Although it was extremely troublesome and dangerous to travel alone. He was living a life like a man in the stone age. He ate, Slept, trained, and repeated it. Thanks to his tenacious trait that he gained the tremendous will power to strive for power like a monster.

He learned how to survive alone as he was made to face life or death situations a few times. Sometimes he just ran from monsters that he was not able to fight with his superior agility stats. His stats weren't in alignment. The raise in agility was not able to cope up with his body because of the low ratio in both stamina and strength.

Just like that his two more months passed. His abilities ranks rose and gained three more stats points. He took residence in a swampy forest, which was far away from the riverside forest.

'Alright, now I have to realign my stat points. To raise another five stat points. Hah, It may take at least a few more months' He sighed inwardly and commenced to jog.

He trained his body as per his schedule, and then he took his dual-bladed dagger to nurture his dagger-wielding skills.

He clutched the dagger and stared at it intensely.

'Strange... It somehow radiated an attribute just like Razik's attribute. I can't just let it scrap up in my inventory. Imma try to connect with this dagger first.'

With a thought, He slowly tried to insert his mana inside it with his eyes closed. When the feeling of his mana reaching handle seeped through his body his expectation rose and fell in an instant because the dagger didn't accept his mana and it reversed his flow back by blocking his mana without letting it enter.

'What the hell? How am I supposed to find how to use it's attribute then?'

He tried again and failed. If it was the chains it can be considered as a different story since the whole existence of it was entirely under Nix's grasp but, the dagger was something unknown and it strangely helped him.

"Hah, It can't be helped then." He sighed and placed it in his inventory after training with it.

Dracton City, In the Sanctuary of Zorya,

"Rafila when will I get my Clan affirmation? I feel like it's taking too long." Cinzia questioned a woman by her side who wore a black robe.

She had brunette hair Tied up. She possessed dark ruby eyes, cherry red lips, and pale white skin with an expressionless calm face. Her body was lean and petite with modest busts. She was beautiful in her own way just like any other woman.

"Cinzia, what can I do? It's all because of the cautious administrator's and the temple's fault for not letting you build the clan. I did recommend the administrator speed up the process, right? What else can I do for you?" She replied nonchalantly.

Cinzia sulked.

"Rafila, you know that I suffered for these last four months to convince fifteen members to join the clan, ignoring the fact that they were thieves, bandits, and assassins. I know they ain't loyal dogs but, I made them join. Just thinking that I would be approved quickly."

Rafila sighed.

"Hah, I can't take this anymore. I do want to take revenge, I won't deny it but we are powerless. Just think about this... Even a small clan with five members would have been approved within a month if you were to be in a City under Outlaws. But, This city is under the leash of the Royal family's ruling. Although they do worship Corrupted gods... I don't need to explain since you already know the customs. Anyway, they have certain procedures and laws too, right? Why are you in an urge?"

"Fucking royal families and their rules! The Royal families are just overly conscious and frightened that they would lose to us outsiders... Disregarding the fact that who they worship. It's the same for those who worship gods of integrity..." Cinzia said

"Are you Cinzia?"

Before she could finish her speech. A woman in her early twenties with curly glossy black hair interjected their conversation along her side were two elven women and a Boy with tiger strips with thick fur concealing his hands while possessing cat ears entered their vision. Their hands were chained and possessed a metal collar on their necks like slaves.

"Tch, Yes I am and who are you?" Cinzia questioned like she was annoyed by her intervention.

"I am an associate of Nix. The name's Felishia. He asked me to help you." She replied with a smile.

Cinzia knitted her brows and scanned her from top to bottom. She was in an attire which any normal wizard would wear while holding a stave in her hand.

"Nix's Associate?" She questioned.

"Yes," she said with a smile.

"Hmm, How can I trust you? " She questioned.

"Hmm, Wait I'll call him." She replied and took a white crystal and inserted her mana after a few minutes Nix's Image projected in it.

"Hi, Nix it's been a while!" She greeted.

Nix's reaction remained unchanged as he replied

"Hi, so why did you call?"

"Hmm, I met with miss Cinzia...Just talk with her."

She passed the crystal to Cinzia.

"Hey, how are you?"

"I am fine, She is Felishia, an associate of mine and she is actually powerful. I requested her to help you..."

"I see alright. But, what's up with the beard and hair? You look like a freaking caveman, Why do you look too different in such a short amount of time I wonder? Anyways, When are you coming back?"

"Huh? I didn't notice it... I don't know, maybe I will join you after a few months." He replied.

"Alright, I will return it to miss Felishia."

Felishia took the Crystal and smiled.

"Bye, dear!"

Cinzia furrowed her brows.

'Dear?'

Felishia switched the connection off and stretched her hand to make a handshake.

"I will be in your care. I hope to help as much as possible feel free to ask for any help you want. Haha but, Only things within my power though."

Cinzia smiled and shook hands with her.

'I am not sure if I can trust her but, let's go with the flow.'

"Same goes to me. I will be in your care. Thanks for coming! I am so-so in need of help..."

****

"I wish to go back soon..." He mumbled while looking at the dark sky filled with stars with his red eyes in anger lying on the soft grassland which was amidst the rustling shrubs and trees while inhaling the fragrance of sweet and moist air.
