Chapter 134: Forced Pt.3

The moment the door opened Lake got a brief moment to see what was really happening before the person carrying Tiffany disappeared. Lake could still kind of see them because of the marks but he could tell they were moving at what was probably the natural max of 100 Agility. This meant this person was strong but not strong enough to get their hands on an Elixir.

He guessed they could possibly be holding back but now wasn't really the time someone would hold back just cause. Even the people who didn't know about the giant were working under the assumption the Demon Worshipers could be back at any moment so everyone was in a hurry to get things done.

This made him think he was looking at their max speed and that he could chase them down if he wanted to. The thing was he didn't see a good reason he should, it was clear Tiffany was in over her head and she hadn't succeeded in getting the money which was really all he cared about.

With the added bonus that the fact no one was stopping them from taking her made him think she had been working alone so with her gone there was a good chance no one else knew where he was yet meaning if he hid the dagger somewhere he could keep it without anyone being able to find him.

They might be able to find the Dagger using the same method Tiffany had used to find him, but so what, he didn't think anyone would be able to get it out of the secret space Booster Bag made so they would think it was a decoy if they ever found it. There was a problem though and it was what always forced him to do things when he didn't see the reason, the Insider.

It was clearly telling him he should go after Tiffany for whatever reason so not waiting till it literally twisted his arm Lake gave chase. After spending some time with the Insider Lake had grown to think it had more experience than him because he didn't think it could actually tell the future and it seemed to be able to get pretty close.

Poison Control was a weird skill because even right now when he was running at his top speed the small amount of poison was hovering right in front of him like he wasn't even moving. It was keeping up with him without him really having to do anything to make it happen other than wanting it to.

With it working like this there should be no problem with him being able to attack with it even if it was going to move much faster than he could. Aiming for the person's hand, which was the only exposed skin he could see, Lake shot the poison forward at a speed that would make up the distance between them in an instant, to see it miss.

It was fine, he knew he was taking a risk when he had decided to attack and to be honest he hadn't really planned for it to work in the first place. He was sure loads of people had skills that warned them when they were under attack, kind of like how he used The Sight to do so. It activated when he was in combat so the change was very noticeable and told him he needed to dodge.

Kind of like it had just done. Seeing a blur that was unnoticeable to him before The Sight kicked in, Lake dodged the unarmed attack that was aimed at his neck. After the attack the person was close to him so Lake tried to use the Poison he was still controlling to go for the persons back while he launched a knife thrust towards their face.

Lake didn't care which of the two attacks actually hit because either would be lethal but sadly they were both dodged at the same time as the person tossed Tiffany at him and twisted in an odd way before slipping between the two attacks. Lake still had control of the poison though so he shifted its direction slightly before Grabbing Tiffany and getting her out of the way.

Lake knew the person had been planning to use Tiffany to block his view long enough to launch a counter attack but, Lake was still able to see them, or at least where they were, becasse of the mark on them. Knowing where the attack would be coming from and what the attack was going to be were two different things though so instead of trying to block, Lake retreated back while getting Tiffany into a better position on his shoulder.

The fact that he had Tiffany might make it seem like he had won but Lake saw it for what it was, a burden. Whoever he was fighting had a lot of experience in fighting over prisoners because now Lake would be the one who couldn't use one of his arms because he was trying to keep his friend safe and one this disadvantage cost him this fight his opponent would take Tiffany and leave.

Lake wasn't friends with Tiffany though, so he just dropped her on the ground and got ready to defend. She would probably find this rude but the way he saw it she was unconscious, so he would have to tell her for her to ever know, and he wasn't going to do that.
