Chapter 52: Make Her Pay
After blowing up all the corrupted pills they had, the two of them ran south as fast as they could.
'So they really did get their hands on our weapons...' Darian muttered to himself, sensing the activation of the white power he'd put into those twenty weapons with cores. Those two had been his clients, buying the weapons off the black market.
'That Risen Chief, even with the buff we gave him, won't last long against those weapons. The three of them should take him down fast and come after us next.'
Darian hoped for the best-case scenario. That "elf" must've used his Blessing on the Risen Chief just a short while ago. He should still be on cooldown. After using the Blessing, all his power drops hard — even running becomes tough. With luck, only the other two would come after Niara.
Thankfully, Niara had wings — and strong ones — which gave her great speed. Sure, if those three were at full power, they'd catch up in two minutes flat. But after that fight, they'd still be recovering, giving her and Darian some distance and time.
Niara was flying with her blood running hot.
They reached the area between the second and third rows. She flew quickly to a very specific spot.
After they landed, Darian immediately started setting everything up.
In raw power, they were outmatched. In gear, resources, or anything else — same deal. And worse, they'd have to go up against two or three enemies at once.
But... he had knowledge — and the element of surprise.
Earlier, he'd burned all the white power he had into those weapons, hoping it might come in handy. Yeah, he gave something super valuable to potential enemies buying from him. The odds of that being a historically dumb move? About 99%.
