After their short break they continued at their journey after Morris planted a bug at the man that he deemed to be connected from the one's met their end at the hands of his reader. Along with their topic of using poison made him rush to his Mc without any signs of stopping. He would jump over the ruins and crossed every alley, only for him to reach his destination, that was a pitch black apartment where their was a sign of a break in. The doors were broken and the windows were shattered, apart from him his pawns could smell the scent of blood which made them wary of their surroundings
[Appraisal: Multiple abnormalities has been detected, the floor is filled with blood, the walls are filled with slashes. Lastly, the area has no signs of a single life form, caution has been ordered upon the player]
"Kyo, Quon, keep your guard up, who knows if we encounter a fight inside this place," After he uttered those words they were ambushed by a group of people that had a coordinated attack along with an item that spread a poison that would paralyzed anyone unlucky enough to have a whiff. Making their small group split into two which made them undergo a change in their appearance to mask their identity in the perks of their role. Afraid of his identity leaking out to the Guild he turned his staff into a sword which he used a technique that's completely different from his usual movement
[System: the player Christopher Morris has activated the skill Haste, which gives the player a burst of movement speed for a period of time]
He was met with a player that was talented in the way of the Blade which led to his disadvantage being reliant on his Dagger player along with his Spells. He uses a technique that combined both the basics of Swordsmanship along with his wits. Even with his enemy pushing him to a corner he got back after he chained an attack that combined his footwork in his swordplay, with every swing he would undergone a set of footwork that aided him on his battle
Which brought him to a point where he could counter and overwhelm the robed person that aimed for his life, yet something felt strange that he had seen his opponents technique. He couldn't get that thought out of his head yet he continues the fight against his foe with no sign of stopping after he received a barrage of thrust that could've pierced his body altogether. Their clash between their blades slowly affected their surroundings the corners that supported the building were sliced the floor that their stepping into were filled with cuts, yet the two of them continued using the walls to launch themselves to their target and the terrains where there sword would tear to pieces
Yet every duel would come to an end, Morris's foe took the bait that he prepared where he created a situation where he looked to be vulnerable to be attacked. By making him fall down the wooden beam that were holding the building which made him fall to the ground, without any hesitation his opponent came to his location while it thrust it's sword that was aimed to his chest. Which was blocked by a large piece of wood that he acquired from cutting a portion of the wooden beam, that was thick enough to act as his shield which he kicks knocking out his opponents only weapon and using the fall by pressing his foe while he pointed his sword
"Who are you?" Morris's altered voice asked the person he apprehended with no answer to his question he took his disguises off which revealed her gender along with her face that was none other than Shin
"Don't be so dramatic, Hugo's not dead,"
"How can you prove it?" Gale asked for an explanation after he heard his words that was filled with confidence that he's alive
Morris reaches for his pocket revealing a cube that had a glowing dot that was constantly shifting from black to read
"This dot is Hugo, and the reason why it's shifting is the fact that his still alive. It's a function that shows if the bugged individual is alive or diseases, I'm in the same situation as Hugo. So I know a thing or two about hiding along with being paranoid, to the point where I bugged the people I see as a threat," Morris gave the cube in Yoona's hands which showed his lack of interest in helping them to save their ally
"Can't you accompany us? It must be hard to trust us after our suspicions but... We need every help that we can get, facing a Guild is comparable to fighting an army. Please... Help us we need your assistance," Yoona kneeled even though her body was covered in the wounds she receive from their previous battle from the Guild members. Blake tried to stop her since he was concerned about her conditions yet she continued kneeling as long as Morris agreed to assist them in their crises
The first thing that she saw once she heard his footsteps slowly walking towards her wounded body, was a pitch black view after her eyes were affected by a type of poison. Was neutralized by a splash of a potion that came from Morris's bottle which healed her injuries, along with curing her of the debuff inflicted on her body
"Buddy, your gonna help us~" Gale was knocked after he tried to hug him with his sweaty body which Morris denied him from reaching his newly washed clothes
"Okay, if you have some stuff that you'll need to pack then you should better do it now, Hugo's on the move. It looks like the place he was resting a while ago was inspected by some Guild affiliated players, sooner or later he'll be held as their prisoners or have his head skewered in the middle of the town. Both of these options isn't something that you'll want to happened so get moving," Morris ordered them to pack their items along with their belongings since they'll soon leave the ruins for their apartment in search of his missing Mc
'Hugo, you better stay alive while we reach your location, it'll be a shame that I'll see you're end at this point in time. Even if you lose an arm or leg I'll find a way to re attach it to your body, if not I'm gonna have to make your grow a new one,'
