Chapter 85 – “Doctor” return.
[Several days later after Phantasia had left the Dawn city.]
"What? The Wood Mask had left the city?!" – asked the orc player.
"Yea. I looked bit into it and apparently, he left around the time where all of his items were sold." – said the goblin player.
"He took a caravan and left the city and nobody now knows where he is right now."
"Really? Huh… Wait, there was a rumor that he was training under some well-known craftsman here…. I think it was dwarf… What was his name again?" – said orc player.
"Evilin." – said goblin player.
"Yea! That guy!"
"Isn't he some sort of big deal in the city?"
"Yea, and apparently, he was kidnapped sometime ago, before then coming back alongside the masked figure. People think it was Wood Mask that rescued the dwarf and later on was accepted as the dwarf disciple." – explained the goblin player.
"Oh…. So maybe he was done with his training or something?" – asked the orc player.
"Meh. Who knows." – said the gobbling player while walking on the streets alongside the orc player.
While the two players continues discussing things between themselves, the orc player suddenly ended up bumping into somebody who was much taller and bigger than them. The orc looked up before then seeing the hooded figure head.
The hooded figure calmly gave a gesture that he was sorry before then walking away.
"Huh?" - orc player stood in place.
"What is it?" – asked the goblin player.
"N-no…. I think it's nothing? That weird looking guy in the mask walked past us."
"Meh. There are all sort of wierdos in this world. We did encounter few weird people ourselves, both NPCs and players." – said goblin player.
"Anyway, we should hurry to the hunting ground before too many players get there."
"Yea, you right." – said the orc player before catching up to the goblin player.
As the two players continues walking, there was a situation happening inside the workshop.
"Master. We have problem with the supplies." – said the orc discipline of Evilin.
"What?" – asked Evilin while taking a piece of paper from his discipline.
"…."
"Really? For fuck sake, they messed up my order?" – said annoyed Evilin.
"Hey. Go and take Michel and go out to buy few boxes of white iron, we are running low on it."
"On it." – said the discipline before leaving the room, leaving behind Evilin all alone in his own room.
The female orc discipline walked around the workshop before then meeting up with a dark elf discipline who was hammering a steel.
After explaining the situation to the dark elf, the duo quickly prepared before then leaving the workshop through the back exit.
"Hm?"
"…. What?"
As soon as the pair out of their workshop back entrance, they walked onto something they did not expected.
Several guards were lying dead on the ground, with some of the guards having their body cut in two or more.
And among all these corpse stood a tall giant person that was completely covered in cloak.
The two disciplines tried to do anything, but the hooded figure quickly rushed at the two.
"Hey! Michel! The boss forgot to ask you to also buy some…..."
The goblin discipline opened the door, only to see the corpse of the dark elf body on the ground while the female orc body ended up collapsing right in front of the goblin feet.
The goblin looked up and saw the hooded figure right in front of him and without even bothering to think for a moment, goblin tried to shut the doors instantly, but before the doors could fully close, some of the blade fingers quickly got in between the door and door frame, stopping the door from shutting itself.
The door then got instantly knocked open before then the blade came flying towards the goblin and impaled him.
The goblin screamed in agony, alarming other people inside the workshop as well as the other guards outside the workshop heard the scream.
Some of the disciplines run towards the scene, only to see the goblin dead body on the floor alongside the hooded figure closing the backdoor.
Your journey continues at empire
Before long, more screams could be heard that ended up alarming the dwarf who was in his room, drawing blueprints.
The dwarf senses that something was wrong and quickly grabbed an axe alongside the gun.
The dwarf quickly kicked open his door before then aiming with his double barreled gun and instantly spotted the hooded figure that was holding the guard in the air with some sort of giant long blade.
The hooded figure turned around towards the dwarf that instantly fired his shotgun, releasing a blast of bullets that hit the man.
However, the blast did not knocked the man away and instead the sound of bullets hitting the metal could be heard.
The dwarf fired again with his shotgun but the results were the same.
"…."
"Evilin." – said the hooded figure.
"…."
"Who the fuck are you?" – said the angry dwarf while pointing his shotgun at the hooded figure.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Me?"
"Well, people do call me the "Doctor" and that is my name to many." – said the hooded figure while sticking out a giant hand from his cloak with long blade like fingers before then taking off his hood and revealing a plague doctor like mask.
"?!"
(Wait!) – though the shocked dwarf.
(The doctor?!)
(As the one Phantasia pretended to be one?!)
(He said that he was an extremely dangerous terrorist who uses some weird chimera like creatures and plagues…. He even destroyed multiple settlements and even a city in the past.)
(Is that guy really a doctor?)
(The mask looks similar to the fake mask Phantasia was wearing before…...)
(Wait.)
(Is he by any chance working with that necromancer?!)
(Was the real doctor working with the necromancer all along?!)
(….)
(Is he planning on kidnapping me again?)
(NOT HAPPENING!)
"[Power Bullet]!"
Dwarf fired his shotgun at the man who quickly covered himself with the blade fingers to block the shots before then rushing towards the dwarf and trying to slash him with his blade fingers, forcing the dwarf to use his axe to block the attack barely in time, but resulted in the dwarf getting pushed back.
"?!"
(W-what the?!) – though the shocked dwarf.
(That guy didn't held back?! He went straight for the kill?!)
Doctor rushed at the dwarf, trying to swipe at him again and again with his giant claws, forcing the dwarf to each time using either of his weapons to block since he did not had time to dodge.
The dwarf tried counter attacking by shooting the doctor in the body, but again, it did not bothered the doctor when he was shot and instead the second arm emerged from the cloak, the same as his other one with giant and long blade like fingers.
The second hand flew towards the dwarf, catching him off guard and slashing him across the chest before then having the first arm fallow up with and stabbing the dwarf with two of the blade fingers right in his chest.
"?!" – the doctor stared confused for some reason.
The dwarf aimed with his shotgun before then firing with it as well as using skill [Wrecking Shot] that hit and pushed back the doctor and his claw.
"…."
"I see." – said the doctor while looking at his fingers.
"You are wearing something underneath your clothes? Armor?"
"…." – dwarf noticed some of his disciplines right behind the doctor, realizing that they were still alive and were trying to get away, without letting the doctor notice them.
"…"
"Why." – said dwarf.
"Why are you trying to kill me?"
"Aren't you partner with that necromancer we killed?"
"Hm? Necromancer?" – said the doctor.
"Oh… No, no, no, no."
"I heard and know about what happened with you. About how some necromancer guy kidnapped you."
"But honestly, I never ever met that guy."
"And I don't care."
"…."
"What?" – said confused dwarf.
"You see, my goal is simple." – said the doctor.
"I want to destroy this city."
"And I want to murder as many people as possible in this place."
"As well as to make sure that you, you of all people would die."
"?!"
The dwarf tried saying something, but then the doctor rushed at the dwarf.
The dwarf swinged his axe at the doctor, but he knocked the axe away with his giant mechanical hand before then grabbing the dwarf by his neck with his other hand.
The dwarf tried to remove the finger blades that were sinking in his neck, but then the doctor stabbed the dwarf right in the guts with his other hand, lifting the dwarf by his neck and stomach.
The dwarf tried desperately doing anything until the sound of something snapping could be heard fallowed by the dwarf body falling on the ground dead.
The legendary smith of the Dawn city, Evilin was killed just like that.
"…."
"Sorry buddy, but you were too important to be left unchecked." – though the doctor.
The person that killed the smith of the Dawn city, Evilin was the doctor.
But it wasn't some imposter pretending to be him.
No.
It was Phantasia himself who had killed the Evilin.
However, he looked different?
His body was notable taller and bigger.
Not only that, he had a pair of big inhuman looking arms that had some sort of weird and long blade fingers.
As for his mask? It was also way bigger than before and its appearance was also much different. It still had a plague doctor design as a base.
The mask size was much bigger as well as the fact it was also noticeable much longer.
The color of the mask was pitch black, but it had pair of two giant green glowing eyes as well as two smaller ones on the sides.
On top of it all, the "Evil" top hat was still there.
As for the rest of Phantasia body, it was still covered in the unknown cloak, hiding its appearance.
"Now then…..."
(I think its time for me to destroy this entire city.)
