Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 113: Capturing

I've finally built a laboratory. It was surely a tiresome job. The acid spitters have terrible hostility towards me Since I've almost cleaned up their mother races to build up the base of Obscure sublimity. If I have to explain it in a simple way about how I've invented it. I mixed up various DNAs of monsters and other races including humans and created an artificial monster with a soul intact.

I named it a Doom ultimatum. Doom ultimatum...He was really a cool kid. I mean he was the epitome of necessary destruction.

Well, as an infant he was a terrible beast that went berserk bringing down thousands of acid spitters and Fire moths. I survived the madness though. As the inventor, I should have looked forward to it. I'd have been dead by this evening. Blood is dripping all over my body and I am terribly tired... Guess I'll lose my sanity by this night and regain it after the next four weeks until then I bid you farewell.

"Did the curse make him a monster or the fact he was a forbidden alchemist who did experiments on himself led him to that fate?"

Nix mumbled, crushing his cigar on the ashtray and turned to the next page.

Valentina's heart had been stopped for several years yet, I am trying my hardest to preserve her body. She is brain dead and I successfully trapped her soul into her body. The problem is needed to sync it to reawaken her. Obscure sublimity is the mana core that contains the artificial soul I created from extracting the souls of multiple sentients. Ultimatum...He was not an intellectual monster he was something between and nonliving things. I killed him, unable to control him after five years since his birth.

I will explain about sublimity and then I will make it back to the explanation of Obscure.

{Sublimity}

There was the title on that page and some weird equations and theories and formulas written in it and Nix was not very much into reading it yet he chose to skim through it though.

Sublimity is like a core stagnant of an unborn soul trapped in between the three worlds. I mean the ether, Mid world, and the Underworld. It takes a semi-form without getting a chance to experience or live and I created the same but, a Sublimity takes a hundred to fifty years to take a defined shape.

While obscure is an unfinished version of it. I am not impatient but Ultimatum went voracious and tried to devour Valentina. At that point, I chose to cleanse the sin I've committed. From the start, I knew my dream was wrong...

Recently I've found that I have a split personality and the Evil mouth is the other personality. Guess this is where we bid farewell... My calculations missed. I've regained my sanity after four months instead of four weeks. I also found writings in this note exempting my narration. Please kill me when you get the chance to do so.

"So this book contains two people's stories? The evil mouth is the wicked version of Vikil that stated about his hate towards humanity then?"

Nix muttered munching the fried fish he ordered and closed the book.

After a few hours of rest, three people entered his room as he laid there as though he was sleeping. One of them slowly approached Nix's bedside and placed his ax on his neck.

"Tsk, Tsk!"

The woman tried to wake him up although he was already awake.

Shrieek!

In a mere instant, his hidden blade gauntlet protruded and he immediately stabbed her hand which held the ax, and immediately blocked the sword with his metal gauntlet that went forward to his abdomen. And then drew his dagger from his leg pouch and slashed his chest.

"Fucker!" The only man who was in the condition to fight scowled.

Nix just sent a kick to his gut and made him collide on the wall and picked up his sword and stabbed it next to him.

"Leave"

He said in a cold voice making the three of them rush out of the room in a panic.

"Hah, Well I saved myself from going for a pointless kill."

He sighed and sat on his bed wiping the bloodstain in his hidden blade and waited for the call for a few minutes.

"Hello, Mr. Black and whitteee! It's Daisy here!"

Daisy said in a sensual voice through the communication crystal.

"Yeah, What's the deal?"

"I am done with the fourth floor."

"I see... What about the others?"

Nix asked in a cold voice. 

"I Don't know, Your girl has succeeded in capturing the third floor though..."

"My girl?"

Nix asked.

"You got more than one girl huh? I thought the girl with the burn scar is your girl."

Nix just sighed.

"Hah, come on, concentrate on the work right now..."

He was kind of relaxed when his clan members were putting their all to capture the building.

He just walked out of his room after half an hour. The building didn't have many threatening outsiders and it was the same for the town too. There weren't many people past level five.

Nix just gazed at the people who were gravely injured in the alleyway and walked to the manager's office and sat in his seat staring at the tied-up people. His clan members didn't kill everyone they left a few of them you went with the flow without opposing.

There were twenty people in the hall and then there were his clan members standing before him.

"Fufu, doesn't it feel great to take a chair without going through troublesome things?"

Felisha asked with a smile.

"It sure does."

He said with his hands locked on the sword which he had struck into the floor in the center before him.

"You people got two choices. One, comply with my clan. I am ready to give you a payment for your contribution.  The name of my clan is Transgressors and I am the clan lord. The name is Nix. Now coming to the second choice you'll be independent on your own but, if you were to cross paths with my clan. I'd have to kill you."

He said and waited for a few seconds and unchained one of the captives.

"You can leave if you don't wanna work with us."

He said with a smile and the man ran out of the clan house in a panic. The other's faces brightened noticing it but, no one had the courage to come up.

"Hello! I am giving you a choice here."

"I am not in the place to make a demand but, can I speak?"

The manager of the inn spoke hesitantly. He was seemingly a man in his forties with messy brown hair wearing a flower-patterned half sleeve shirt and an aviator-type spectacle. To be honest he seemed like someone who enjoys getting high. He seemed like a noncombatant judging from his appearance yet, he seemed like a sly man.

"Yeah sure."

Nix shrugged.

Immediately Gunther unchained the man to let him be comfortable.

"Firstly I am Remo and I am from the regular faction and I guess you are the same?"

The man asked politely.

"What made you think like that? I am Outlaw."

Nix said coldly and noticed the others who had some hope to lose their brightened complexions.

"Because you didn't kill much of us!" He said with a smile.

"I like your confidence mate. But, what do you have to offer me?"

Nix asked with a smile after reading his information with the truth eye.

"Good sir, I like how you are coming straight to the point...I am good at political and economical strategy and I want to work as your clan's manager."

"Good, you are selected. Can Regulars join in an Outlaw's clan though?"

Nix said with a smirk and stretched his hand and shook hands with him.

"Thank you, Lord Nix. Indeed they can. I am a non-combatant without achievements as such I couldn't level up after crossing level two. It was the same when I worked as an outlaw... Some people like me are just considered disposable pawns."

What the man said was true. Nix's case might be different but gods don't invest in people who don't have promising futures or talent. They'd at least need to finish missions and do some achievements to gain a level which is the same for all but some people are just unfortunate. Switching sides can be also considered useless for people.

"I see. Welcome to Transgressors."

Nix said with a smile.

The next minute he walked towards Nix clan members and joined with them. Not all that's left is to gain a few more members.

"Alright, As I said before those who want to leave can go and those who want to get a job sign up."

Cinzia said in a loud voice as Nix walked out of the inn casually after telling her to take care of the procedures.
