Chapter 813: Alleyway

Sage was only intending to give the man some serious injuries and carry a message to the others that had chased after him in the past. Compared to the trouble hed got from others, the fact that they hadnt bothered to chase after him when he left the Kingdom was actually comparatively light. It had been only a few decades since that event happened in the outside world, but Sage had thousands of years in the Inner World to give him some perspective.

Unfortunately, even as mature as he felt hed grown, he still couldnt resist his own instincts and he gave in to his own greed. As just a person who had wronged him in the past, Sage was prepared to let bygones be bygones, at least until he found out the man was carrying a treasure. A treasure that seemed to call out to him, and it was loud enough for him to change his mind and take a life. It might even be more forgivable if he had made such a decision in a split second, but in just a few seconds he had days on the Inner World to make his choice.

Before the mans headless body could finish settling onto the ground, it disappeared into his Inner World. A moment later the head disappeared just as abruptly. Then Sage used his Spirit Force to sweep up the dirt on the ground that had been soiled by blood and it too went into the Inner World. Then he stepped back and a bright flame washed over the area. After being bathed in fire for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and a powerful wind blasted down the alley turning all the loose dirt and ash into a large dust cloud. He had no idea what sorts of techniques might be used to examine this location in the future but he removed as much evidence as he could in a quick fashion. With these tasks done, Sage left down the street without waiting for the dust to settle.

At the same time as he was making his escape, he was also examining the fruits of his labor on the Inner World. The reason hed given in to his greed was the weapon that this man had been wielding. In the past, he might not have noticed anything unusual, but it just so happened that Sage had recently spent a lot of time studying a certain bow. The mans weapon, a whip, gave him a very similar feeling to the Jinxi Ancestors bow. More importantly, he also felt the same loathing coming from the whip that hed felt with the bow. Only this time, the loathing of the whip was not directed towards him, but its owner. With such a temptation in front of him, how could Sage pass it up? The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

You think just because you killed that weakling it makes you fit to own me? How naive!

An overbearing and domineering phrase was delivered by a high pitched voice. This voice was also filled with little burbling pauses and gurgling noises. At this time, on the Inner World, Sage sent his consciousness into the new artifact hed acquired in an attempt to communicate. There was a strange creature in front of him, one which he would describe as an overly long salamander that had a strange spiky coating over its limbs. The salamanders four legs and tail looked like they were armored with a layer of thorn-like scales, but with closer examination he noticed the scales were moving and he realized they werent scales at all. For a moment he thought they might actually be like many miniature horns given their shape, but as they moved he realized they were each mounted on the end of a little digit. With this detail he recognized what this creature was.

This completely candid approach was confusing to the salamander and its head tilted to the side, Bribe? You have to defeat my challen..

Then it stopped and realized that this human had already guessed that and it wouldnt be as imposing if he seemed to be doing just what he said. The salamander puffed up its chest like it was trying to stand straighter, and was ready to speak then it realized it didnt know what to say. What was it going to do to show off its authority and make this fellow show some respect? Then its face crinkled as it caught a whiff of an alluring scent.

Oh, you like that one? Its a shame you arent my partner or Id gift it to you.

On the Inner World, Sage was bringing out the high level materials hed been purchasing to forge a weapon. If he could get the artifact over to his side with them, then there was no need to make a weapon anymore. If he couldnt, then he could always try to trade the weapon for another. As for why he was treating it so nonchalantly? He had plenty of time to slowly convince the spirit, and an artifact would be a partner for life. It would likely end up being as close to him as his family and he had no desire to have a weapon that was so restrictive of his behavior and skills.

Gift? You would?

Hmm, maybe this cute little guy will be easier to convince than I thought.
