Chapter 10 - EPISODE-10

Arnos was sitting beside outside beside the wall of the restaurant. He had a grieving face and with a touch of anger burning inside him. 

Arnos: I feel useless in this condition. I don't have that much power to save people. I don't even have money to buy medicines or potions to save her. I feel useless and a weak person who could do nothing but wait for her friend to die. Frey is it possible to save her with heaven's meeting if she dies?

Frey: Heaven's meeting also have a limit. The recent use had made cooldown of 30 days. It would require a lot of time to activate again. But we could save her only if we could find a legendary potion of Lives de Sitala which is used to heal any of the gravest wound rather be person at door's death it could heal it. 

Arnos: Where can I find this potion?

Frey: I don't even know myself. Sorry for giving you a unachievable hope.(with a disappointed tone)

Arnos: Aaaaaaghh!(smashes his fist in ground in anger)

Doctor come outside to talk with Arnos.

Doctor: She doesn't have much time to live. You must give your final regards for her. I am sorry but I gave my every effort to save her but her heart seems to give up its effort. She'll eventually die so its best to give her your final words of gratitude before she dies.(with a serious but sorry tone)

Arnos stands up and as he was about to head inside he heard the voice of Kirios. 

Kirios: Hey Arnos I came back. How is Lilith doing?

Arnos: Kirios.

Kirios: Hey why is your face wretched down did something happened to her??...Tell me what happened??

Arnos explains him everything that doctor told him. Kirios gets a serious face and rushed inside where Lilith was. He rushed in through the door. Mitsumi was surprised with shock who was sitting just beside the door.

Kirios: Lilith!!

Kirios went near the bed and dropped the bag he was carrying which he wasn't earlier. Then he grabbed a very small potion which was white in color. He poured the liquid in Lilith's mouth. He then closed the bottle with a little amount of the potion left. Arnos in anger grabs his hand.

Arnos: What the hell are you pouring into her mouth Kirios?

Kirios: Calm Down it was a legendary potion named Lives de Sitala. Kia appraised it so I believe it should help her.

Arnos: Huh? What the hell are you saying?

Suddenly Lilith responses in form of groaning. All the people who were in the room shifted their attention towards Lilith who was starting to respond. Doctor went towards to check her heartbeat. She showed an expression of shock on her face. 

Doctor: Her heartbeat has again started to beat but much louder than before. She's out of danger. But she needs to get a rest of 2 days before she can move like normal.

Arnos grabs Kirios and hugs him hard. 

Arnos: Thanks Kirios!! I never knew my bro was so helpful.(with smirk)

Kirios: You're welcome but can y...y..you le...ave me ff..orr a bit ..p..lease!!

Arnos stops hugging him and Kirios tries to catch his breath. They both head outside and leave the girls alone for a bit. They went outside and sat near a fountain and looked at shining stars outside which were barely visible with the moving clouds outside. 

Arnos: By the way how did you got the potion? And if you had it why didn't you use it earlier. 

Kirios: Well to tell this. It's a long story but I'll try to shorten it. It was when we headed out of dungeon and you took Lily with her at super fast speed.

In Dungeon(Past)

Kirios went to cut the beast flesh as he said and as took some he but inside a bag he pulled from inside his cloak. He then tries to head out at highest speed.

Kirios: Kia is there a way to go much fast.

Kia: Kirios-Sama try to use skill [Wind Emperor Lv.7]. I think you should use more brain and learn something from Arnos-Sama.

Kirios: Not you too Kia its no time to crack jokes on me we gotta move fast.

Kirios uses the skill and it increases its pace by a great amount. But as he moves through the third level he notices the presence of mana. He immediately vanishes within thin air and his presence was gone suddenly he pierced some kunai knives into the wall and the magic disguise of the enemy vanished. The person Kirios attacked looked like that of a hunter his face was shady. His destroyed the a necklace while attacking but he died even though he only made a weak cut on his arms. He found something strange falling from its coat pocket. It looked more like a potion but of very small size.

Kia: Kirios-Sama it seems to be a legendary potion lives de Sitala. It can heal any grave wound or abnormality in a person.

Kirios takes the potion and keeps it.

Kirios: Oh my god! Sweet thing. But on the other hand I didn't even landed a deadly blow but just some bruises and he died. 

Kia: Kirios-Sama it seems that this body is just a puppet made from an already dead person. On appraising the body I found that body temperature is too low for a recently dead person. It seems like that someone had been controlling this body with that necklace that you just destroyed.

Kirios: I don't understand. Why would someone send a puppet with such legendary potion to a dungeon? And in fact one of the this at such level alone.

Kia: I'll try to gather some information about this magic in necklace. 

Kirios put the necklace in its pocket and put the carcass in to his bag and moved as fast as he could to meet Lilith and Arnos.

Story of Kirios ends

Kirios: So this what happened.

Arnos: Do you still have the carcass of the puppet?

Kirios lifts the bag that he put near the fountain and pulls the carcass. Arnos felt a weird feeling of familiarity. It was as if he had met the same hunter somewhere. The memory of a distorted scene played in its mind automatically. 

Frey: Arnos I think you know this hunter as per your distorted scene of memory. I cannot also clarify the memory moment of this incident cause it little unclear. It would take sometime to retrieve the full memory access of this scene from the soul.

Arnos in mind: I see. It feels very familiar from the residual mana from both body and the necklace.

Kirios: And yeah here you go the flesh you wanted. Do you still use the predator skill to gather skills?

Arnos: Yeah I have to that's the only way I could defeat the(Munching on meat) mmn-mmn enemy.

Kirios: You must be lucky to get such a skill from your birth. 

Arnos: Sure I am thankful! Its the only thing that is dependable.(munching)

Frey made a headache in Arnos' head after hearing this thing.

Arnos: AAAhh yess Frey too she is the most dependable soul that I can rely on. How could I ever forget about that.(in pain and with a sweat)

Frey: You should be thankful to me that I made you escape many dangerous situations. Don't you remember how many times you needed me.

Arnos in mind: Yeah yeah you are correct. I was the dumb one to forget about it please forgive me Frey. I am very grateful to you.

Frey: hmmm(in anger). Ok you're forgiven.

The headache stopped and Arnos breathed a long breath.

Frey: You got some new skills.

Arnos unlocked at least 5 new skills. 

[Skill Hot Cold Resistance-Lv.5][Skill- Fearsome Taunt-Lv.6][Skill- Thunder God-Lv.6][Skill Holy Cannon Lv.6][Skill- Prometheus Authority-Lv.8]

Arnos: Damn it feels good to unlock so many skills. This is gonna come handy. Well I am feeling kind of hungry because of all the mana I have used. Let's eat some meal at the restaurant to get some refresh back.

Kirios: Sure Let's go.

Kirios puts the corpse in the bag and moves on. They both enter the restaurant. 

Somewhere In the North Kingdom of Falonthorm

A mysterious entity with a strange robe is seen in at a window. Suddenly a crow came at window flying with a strange collar around its neck. The person opened the window and let him in.

Person: So did you got news from the royal capital?

Crow:(in very weird voice) They seem to be holding the Devil's Banquet Kawww.

Person: Is there anything else about the banquet?

Crow: They trying to start that again kawww.

The entity uncloaks her face. And her eyes had quite a shock from the news.

Person: This looks bad. You may go back again and take every info about this banquet.

Crow flies away.

Person: It looks like my another puppet was destroyed. I think they both have gotten the potion I sent and it might be time they'll finally make their first move. I also need to make preparations to shift my base cause it looks like I might have drawn some attention among the public. "Folklock Door may open once the world asks for demise".

A portal like door opens in front of her and she then head away.
