Bone King: Homemade plug-in, I am the god of destiny Chapter 114

“…”

Shaqulonte didn’t respond to the warrior’s provocative question, instead cautiously observing the two opponents.

Although he had studied both warrior and illusionist knowledge, making his individual abilities not outstanding, the fact that the opponent could easily evade his perception and seize Cocodoll meant they must have a certain level of skill.

Most importantly, both of them were warriors, so they definitely didn’t possess invisibility.

This indicated that besides these two, there might be a magic caster or a rogue hidden nearby.

Such a thought was entirely correct.

“You two, this is a rescue operation, not a regular training session. Controlling him as quickly as possible is the best option, isn’t it?”

A voice echoed from behind Shaqulonte.

He spun around abruptly and immediately saw the speaker, but his expression became even more solemn.

About three meters behind him, a young man in a white magic robe was staring at him with a calm expression. Beside the youth were two assassins holding short daggers.

Shaqulonte noticed that all five of them wore adventurer identification plates, indicating they were Mithril-ranked, but their equipment all emitted very distinct magical fluctuations.

Is this the level of equipment Mithril-ranked adventurers could possess?

Feeling that the quality of their equipment might be higher than his own, Shaqulonte immediately felt a desire to retreat.

Generally speaking, the better the equipment, the stronger the adventurer.

Moreover, the opponents not only seized his employer but also held an absolute advantage in numbers. Engaging them in battle at this moment would be completely unwise.

“I say, gentlemen, I was merely hired to protect this fellow. Can you let me go?”

Shaqulonte attempted to negotiate with the group.

His actions immediately drew dissatisfaction from his employer, Cocodoll, who, being a homosexual, shrieked in his high-pitched voice, “Shaqulonte! What are you saying? I paid a hefty price to hire you!”

Shaqulonte glanced back at Cocodoll, whose neck was held by a blade, and shrugged helplessly, “I’m truly sorry, Cocodoll, your money isn’t worth me losing my life.”

“You bastard!”

Cocodoll seemed extremely displeased with Shaqulonte’s attitude, but more so, he was filled with the fear of being abandoned by his guard.

Since this group dared to attack this stronghold, they must know it was Eight Fingers’ territory.

In the kingdom, only one person could be fearless of Eight Fingers and their vast network of noble connections, hiring adventurers to do such things.

And that person was precisely the hateful brat he detested, the Golden Princess.

Thanks to that woman, his business suffered significant losses. If he were caught by her again, it wouldn’t end well, would it?

In any case, Cocodoll was very unwilling to suffer such a fate.

“Is that something you can decide?”

The magic caster interrupted Shaqulonte and Cocodoll’s conversation, seemingly uninterested in Shaqulonte’s suggestion, and directly raised his magic staff.

Not good!

Although Shaqulonte was distracted talking to Cocodoll, most of his attention was on the magic caster.

The moment he saw the opponent make a move, he immediately used his skill, creating several illusions to try and confuse them.

Suddenly, an assassin next to the magic caster charged forward, completely ignoring the five illusions Shaqulonte created, and slashed his dagger at an empty space!

Ah!

A cold gleam flashed, accompanied by a sharp scream. Shaqulonte was forced out of his invisible state, crashing into the wall next to the passageway entrance, then bouncing off and falling to the ground.

His adamantine chainmail shirt was ripped open with a large gash on his back, and a large amount of blood gushed out, revealing his spinal column beneath the flesh.

With just one move, Shaqulonte was severely wounded, completely losing his combat ability.

“How could this be!?”

Cocodoll was dumbfounded by the sight.

Shaqulonte was a member of the Six Arms elite, known as ‘Phantom Demon,’ not some ordinary grunt. How could he be defeated so easily?

“You are the person in charge of this stronghold, right?”

The magic caster didn’t seem surprised by Shaqulonte’s defeat and approached Cocodoll step by step.

Gulp!

Feeling the hostility from the opponent, Cocodoll swallowed hard, a fawning smile on his face, “Th-that… I can give you money, please let me go.”

“No need for that, because your money was ours from the beginning.”

The magic caster was completely uninterested in Cocodoll’s proposal. He aimed his magic staff at him and directly cast a spell, “Human Charm!”

Although Cocodoll was one of Eight Fingers’ leaders, he had no combat ability whatsoever and couldn’t resist the magic’s control. His eyes immediately became dull.

“I ask you, is there a victim named Kiaray here?”

…

“No!? How can there be none!”

Celesia furiously clutched Cocodoll’s collar, unable to suppress the rage in her heart, and slammed her magic staff onto his head.

With a thud and a howl, Cocodoll fell to the ground, a gash on his forehead slowly oozing blood.

“Celesia! Calm down!”

Lakyus pulled back Celesia, who was about to continue assaulting the human trafficker, her brows deeply furrowed.

Through searching the brothel and interrogating relevant personnel, they had not found any trace of Celesia’s sister, Kiaray.

Although breaking into the brothel was beneficial to Princess Renner and the kingdom, it was not the goal of Celesia and her companions. This operation was undoubtedly futile for them.

While Celesia felt disappointed, her hatred for Cocodoll burned even hotter.

She ignored Lakyus’s勸阻 and aimed her magic staff directly at Cocodoll. With a magic arrow condensed and ready to fire, she shouted resentfully, “Tell me Kiaray’s whereabouts now! Otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately!!!”

“Eeek!”

Cocodoll fearfully recoiled, waving his hands continuously in supplication, saying, “We really don’t know where she is now! She was taken away, and we haven’t found out their whereabouts yet!”

“Hmph!”

Celesia gritted her teeth, utterly unable to accept such an answer.

Seeing that she seemed about to unleash the magic arrow, Lakyus quickly grabbed her arm and said urgently, “Celesia, killing him now won’t help. Since your sister was rescued, she should be safe. We can continue searching based on their investigation progress. Keeping him alive is still useful!”

Celesia took a deep breath. Although the resentment on her face didn’t subside, she still listened to Lakyus’s advice, “Alright, I’ll let him go for now!”

Lakyus breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave a meaningful look to Gagaran behind her.

Gagaran understood and stepped forward, grabbing Cocodoll from the ground like a chicken, and led him away from Celesia’s sight.

Not far from the brothel entrance, at the corner of an alley, a black figure watched Celesia for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
