Chapter 103



He placed his hands on the door opening to feel any inkling but got nothing back, unless struck the door just felt like any normal door, the enchantments were protected and hidden.

Seeing that that was pointless he moved onto the recess in the centre, set for the special key.

“Hmmm,” the shape looked a little strange for a key, it was a rectangular recess that strangely looked familiar.

‘The sliver plague that Shadow had.’ Remembering the item he looted from Shadow’s corpse, Frost smiled as he gave himself an internal high five for his forward thinking, before withdrawing the sliver plague from his storage ring.

The moment he did that, the silver plague was no longer a blank slate. Being in close proximity to the door, enchantments and magic crests dotted the entire surface and if in response the grand door reacted in kind, revealing a similar pattern of magic crests.

Leo and Luna were shocked and scrambled over towards Frost in curiosity, anxious to know what he did.

Holding up the silver plague he replied.

“Looks like I’ve got the key.”

.....

“...”

“...”

“...It was on Shadow, wasn’t it?” After an awkward silence, Luna queried.

“Yes, he really didn’t think that we’d defeat him haaaaaaa” Frost sighed at Shadow’s arrogance, why would you literally carry around a key to the most secure room when confronting the enemy. If you lose, you effectively grant them free access to what you were trying so hard to protect, really stupid.

“Well, that was rather anticlimactic but I’m not one to complain, open the door Frost-senpai and lets finish this.” A major obstacle in their path was so easily solved.

Frost nodded before gently placing the silver plague into the recess causing both it and the door the light up.

Click clack

In response they could hear gears turning and unlocking within the door before it slowly started to open up revealing inside, Adam’s office.

What lay behind the door was rather lacklustre. Just a simple office albeit decorated with very expensive items but that was it, Adam wasn’t even there. But the three of them wouldn’t be fooled, they fanned out once again searching every nook and cranny of the office, there had to be a secret door to another area.

This time it was found almost instantly, not the switch but the secret door, and unlike the super enchanted door they just unlocked, this one was of simple construction.

Bangggg!

Not willing to waste time searching for a switch Frost simple smashed his way through with his glaive, creating a large hole in the wall and revealing the way into Adam’s vault.

“Guess he cheaped out with this door.” Frost laughed lightly as he kicked the wall to enlarge the hole.

With the way now clear Frost made his way through first but Leo didn’t follow right away, his gaze was focused on several cabinets that held an array of documents.

‘This is details of all his transactions over the years.’ Leo was staring at a literal gold mine, with these documents he had all the proof required to excise every last drop of bad blood that pervaded his territory, physical evidence.

“Leo let’s go.” Luna tapped his shoulder letting him know that Frost had already went on ahead, she knew the value of the documents here, but they needed to deal with the immediate problem.

“Haaaaa” Leo sighed before placing back some of the documents he was perusing. Turning towards Luna he nodded before following after Frost.

Meanwhile down at the end of vault Adam was enraged.

Bang!

He tossed a vase against a wall smashing it to pieces, the vase was an expensive treasure worth several gold coins but at the moment he didn’t care. None of his subordinates had given a report on their success after all this time. He’d try to contact them through a magic device but never got a response which either meant they couldn’t or that they were dead.

He waited here in his vault stewing in anger that escalated as time went on, he’d already destroyed lots of his prized goods from his fury.

“Damn bastard why couldn’t you just keel over and let me win.” Veins throbbing on his forehead Adam punched a nearby wall causing it to shake, he hated his brother and nephew so much right now, he was so close to success, and they decided to act at the very last moment, he was tempted to pull out all his hair from the stress.

Behind him a few corpses could be seen, illegal slaves. Adam had taken out most of his aggression of some of the illegal slaves that he purchased, with the majority of the corpses being female, their faces and bodies covered in punch marks and bruises. What little clothes remained were torn apart as he ravaged them to death, the males were killed when they tried to interfere with his fun.

“Ptuuah” Adam spat on the dead corpse of his last conquest, his anger still unabated and in fact growing rapidly, he just received a notification through a bonding magic device that Shadow had been killed, that was his last and truly loyal subordinate. If Leo and his group made it passed Shadow, there was nothing stopping from reaching the vault other than the door.

Panicking slightly Adam put his clothes back on and left the containment area for his slaves, which was actually fairly well maintained and decorated as he normally treats them fairly decent, since poorly maintained woman are no fun in the bedroom. But his anger clouded his regular judgement causing the bloodbath that now covered the room. The ones that survived were terrified and trembling in the corners of the room, they were slaves, illegal ones, with their collar on they couldn’t refuse a single order from their assigned master under the punishment of instant death.

He moved towards his personal quarters in the vault and started to retrieve all his high quality equipment, it was likely that he’d have to fight himself at this rate. He placed on heavily enchanted robes that rivalled and, in some areas, surpassed Luna’s as well as a mithril vest like Leo’s underneath. In terms of weapons, he equipped himself with two short swords one at either hip as well as a lavishly looking staff that had beautiful gold and silver inlays. The magic crystal on top was bright orange and appeared hot to the touch this was his best set of equipment that he could utilise given his current strength. Of course, he also loaded several magic devices into a storage ring on his left hand, not leaving anything to chance.

Dongggggg!

Once he was fully garbed up, he heard a large bang from behind, it was Frost smashing his way through the secret doorway.

“Shit how did they get here so fast; I’ve haven’t been able to secure those two items yet!” Adam gnashed his teeth together and stormed out of his quarters.

‘Fuck if anything happens to those two my head will be on a platter.’ Adam internally complained, and a bout of fear filled his heart before he ultimately shook his head side to side and focused on his current problem. His damn nephew, future niece, and that annoying adventurer.

Don don don

Frost ran forward, deeper into the vault passing by storage rooms filled with glorious and expensive items, but he wasn’t distracted, he was close, and his body knew it, Adam was nearby. He smiled as he increased his speed even more, causing Luna and Leo to fall even further behind.

Eventually the narrow hallway opened up into a large open area, shaped like a hexagon that led off into the different sections and standing there waiting with a furious expression garbed in high quality equipment was none other than Adam, his target.

Frost skidded across the ground to curb his momentum and analysed the man before him.

‘He’s not weak, and his equipment rivals that of Leo’s.’ Frost’s gaze was then drawn to Adam’s sword and staff.

‘A magic user interesting.’ It’d be the first time he fought against someone using magic that wasn’t Maya, the idea was intriguing, he couldn’t help but smile.

Adam was doing the same, analysing the young man that barged into his most protected lair.

‘An elf and an incredibly attractive one, young too, he’d fetch a good price.’ Adam instantly thought of reimbursing his loses today by forcing Frost into slavery.

‘Perhaps such a gift could soothe that man’s anger.’ Whenever his mind wondered over to thinking about Drogan’s actual master he felt a chill down his spine, him of all people. There’s always bigger fish in the sea and Drogan’s master was one of those, Adam was just a medium fish in a very small pond.

With the two silently gauging the abilities of one another Leo and Luna finally caught up with Frost and their gazes instantly became cold when they saw the insidious looking man waiting for them.

“Uncle” Leo spoke through gritted teeth. His fists were clenched, and it took all he had to not lunge at Adam with all he had.

“Haaaaa still not good at masking your emotions nephew.” Adam looked in contempt at his nephew as he wondered how such a predictable and na?ve brat caused such problems for him.

“Speak for yourself old man, you’re barely containing your anger in those shifty eyes of yours.” Leo retorted sharply causing Adam’s already narrow eyes to wince in irritation.

No longer wanting to go tit for tat with his nephew Adam’s gaze then wondered over to Luna causing her to shiver in fear, his eyes were filled with malice.

Leo promptly moved in front and guarded her from Adam’s view while staring daggers at his uncle, slightly drawing his sword from its sheath. He was reaching his limit of patience.

“Hmph!” Adam hmphed before once again looking towards Frost.

“You must be Frost then, the one who foiled mine and Alex’s plan.” He found Frost quite irritating to the eyes, the other two weren’t much of a threat to him but this adventurer called Frost was different, he needed to be wary.

“You presume correctly, the man who foiled your plan and killed Alex are one in the same oh and I’m also the one that killed his brother, Shadow was it?” Frost smiled coyly enjoying this battle of words and wills.

Adam frowned at Frost’s statement; he knew exactly how powerful Shadow was.

‘He’s more of a problem that I thought.’ His current predicament was quite perilous, dealing with someone who could defeat Shadow was risky even with his superior equipment.

“Why?” Adam decided to attempt a soft approach.

“Hmmm whatever do you mean?” Taken aback Frost tilted his head to the side in confusion.

“Why did you ally with my nephew and his group? Why did you save him and Luna knowing that you’d be opposed to me? Why did you come here tonight at his behest, was it money? if so, I can provide far, far more, rewards I have more items than I can possible count, fame, my connections in the noble world and within the empire are far more diverse than that of the Furano household I can even expedite you to a B-rank adventurer if you’d like so why do you stand against me!” Adam spoke louder and with more rage as he went on, generating a noble aura filled that demanded he be listened to.

Well Frost wasn’t one to be affected by such things and simply replied honestly.

“First off, I really don’t give a shit what you can give me, that means nothing to me. Second, I helped Leo and Luna out because they didn’t ask even when driven into a corner, I respected that and lended aid because I could, simple as that.” Leo and Luna shivered at Frost’s announcement before smiling broadly at one another happy with his reasoning.

“You however, I don’t like and am more than happy to take care of.” Frost smiled at Adam as though he was prey readying his glaive for battle.

“......Ahahahahahah” Adam was silent for a while before breaking into an unrestrained laughter, he found Frost’s answer to be comical, stupidly comical.

“An idiot, then you can die like the other two!” Adam snapped out of his mad laughter and spoke harshly before pointing his staff at Frost. No more need for words, the battle is set to begin.
