I've caught up to the wounded man and quickly killed him with a single Lightning Spear. I also felt that the other man was killed by Fenrir.

Casting the Demonic Flame I allowed it to devour the body. I've also just noticed that the white flames were still burning even in the rain.

An upgrade window popped up notifying that one of my spells reached the Lv. 5. Everything about the spell was majorly upgraded. The Spell's name even changed from Lightning Spear to the Lightning Bolt.

I wanted to try its power and compare it to the Shadow Blast, but I had more important things at hand.

Leaving the body to burn I ran and lit the other 3 bodies on fire. ( First body was already burnt, another one was completely decimated by a Shadow Blast ).

Petting Fenrir I gave him the other half of the Pork and allowed him to reside in the Beast Tattoo. I could feel him nodding his head as he was no longer under the rain.

Leaving the backstreet I opened a Map to navigate towards one of the shops.

' I have to somehow impede king's movements before he could do anything able to kill us all '

My mind was running a marathon trying to recall the king's skills.

' As far as I know he had no spells... The only thing noticeable about him was his swordsmanship and his sword related skills '

I shrugged my shoulders remembering the clip of how the king cut a wall reinforced with a thick layer of Mithril using the hilt of his sword.

' I need to delay his movements... '

The same thought was bombarding me as I reached my goal. Standing before a humble house with a hanging sign ' Welcome! ' I opened a door walking into a rather old building.

The interior of the house was fully made out of wood. The room was full of wooden stoves with all kinds of things stored on them ranging from potions to an... eyeball?

Shaking my head I looked towards the end of the room only to see a counter with an old lady reading a book behind it. Since she didn't mind me I did the same. Walking through the countless shelves with items, potions, weapons I saw many things, but most of them I already knew due to my past life knowledge.

I was about to give up and move to another shop when a square shaped object caught my eye.

1️⃣ Flash Grenade [ Bronze ]

-- A throwable grenade that upon explosion releases a blinding flash

~ Able to Obstruct one's vision until the effect wear off

~ Duration → 1 minute

Taking the Grenade in my hand I Lifted its price tag. Looking at the numbers I felt as if someone punched me in my lungs, I momentarily lost my breath.

» 150 Gold Coins per a Single Grenade

Catching my breath I put the Grenade back on the shelf.

' Fuck no! '

With a frown I walked towards the counter.

" May I negot... "

I was cut in the middle of my sentence.

" Prizes are non negotiable "

The old lady didn't even lift her eyes from the book, declining my suggestion.

Usually I am very composed and mature, but today I was nearing my limit. Fighting against a Gang, combating a High Tier Corrupted, being tailed by a young master's henchmen.

' I need to take a break '

I thought somehow managing not to do anything stupid. Walking outside to take a breath of fresh air I noticed it was no longer raining and only clouded.

Looking at the passersby I noticed most of them being Players. They were mostly human's, but I could see some Orcs.

The Orc build is very different from human's. They are muscular creatures easily towering over 6 feet. Their facial appearance is certainly uglier than human's, they also have dark green skin. The usual weapon of Orcs is a heavy Axe, broadsword, or a Warhammer.

Since Humans and Orcs are races relatively close to each other, Players can easily travel from one side to another. It's especially good, since Orc and Human NPCs interact with both races.

' Not like Demons... '

I thought, recalling my fate of not being able to talk to most of the NPCs from the other races.

Scratching my chin I finally felt more empty minded and decided to head back into the shop.

Walking back towards the shelf where the grenades were stationed I noticed a person I haven't seen before stealthily looking around the shelves.

Suddenly he grabbed one of the potions from the shelf and dashed towards the door expecting to escape.

Whoosh...

A wind barrier blocked the thief's path making him hit it face first and fall backwards. He wasn't even able to move as Light particles formed chains on his wrists before he disappeared.

' Stupid '

I giggled under my breath. The player just now tried to steal, but since he was caught he was immediately jailed. I didn't know for how long, but it definitely wasn't any shorter than one day in real life time.

In this game one can steal from NPCs, but if caught he'll face immediate imprisonment or even execution if the NPC is powerful enough to do it.

Pressing the bridge of my nose I grabbed a box of Flash Grenades and carried it to the counter.

» Purchase Completed!

» - 1500 Gold Coins!

» +10 Flash Grenades!

My Purchase was complete and I stored the grenades inside my inventory. Wishing the old lady a good day I left the shop reminiscing about what else I need next.

" I need a defensive spell "

I thought out loudly turning towards the huge white building. Its form was that of a square and it had a circular shaped entrance with huge turrets located above it.

' Auction house '

A thought passed through my mind as I started walking towards the building.
