Chapter 1907: Daydreaming.
He belched and said, "Maybe I should stop drinking."
Another person joined in. "It is true. We have really found a way to kill gods."
Taylor didn't take them seriously. Maybe it was because he was drunk, so he couldn't take anything seriously currently. But he felt like he had to entertain them, so he said, "Good for you. You know what? You should go for it."
Their leader resumed his proposition, "We need your help for something."
Taylor shook his head. "Despite how dashing and sharp I look, I can't kill gods. I'll just be a disappointment to you for that."
The leader explained, "No. We don't need you to kill the god. We only need you to lure a god into the ambush we have prepared."
Taylor asked, "Where am I supposed to find a god to lure? Gods aren't in the mood for interacting with us mortals. I can't even communicate with them, and even if I could, they won't listen to me."
The players looked at each other in a shifty manner before one of them suggested a solution. "Don't you have a patron god? Surely you can come up with something to draw their attention."
Taylor was sobering up now. No amount of alcohol can keep his buzz going when someone suggests something that can obviously ruin his life.
He asked, "Do you mean 9 Crowns? Are you crazy? You want me to betray my boss?"
He had become angry by the time he finished firing off the series of questions. He is not attached to the 9 Crowns emotionally, but they are his boss and employer. They are the source of his strength in this world and livelihood. What they are asking of him is to endanger his livelihood, and there is no way he is going to go along with that.
Not only did he sign a contract in which he promised not to betray his patron, but even if he did betray the 9 Crowns, get away with it, and manage to kill the 9 Crowns, what would that benefit him?
But then he remembered that everyone had agreed not to kill anyone during this festive event. So he decided not to kill them.
He let them go. But that didn't change how pissed he was. He couldn't appreciate the celebration anymore, so he decided to leave. He mounted his horse and began his journey back.
Black Knife and Tempest returned later on. Their days became normal again. They hunted humans were hunted in return. They died and resurrected again.
This continued for many days. It turned into weeks and months too. At this point, the king of the kingdom was about to send his whole army after them. But then something out of place happened after 3 months.
A red rainbow appeared in the sky. It was sudden and silent. It hadn't rained, so there shouldn't be a rainbow.
Taylor looked into the distance and saw what looked like blood raining from the sky. Light passed through the droplets of blood and was refracted into the colors of the rainbow.
What he saw surprised him. He said, "I didn't know that blood could do that."
Black Knife asked, "How did blood get that high in the sky?"
Tempest asked, "Is that even blood?"
Then they received a notification.
-A mortal has killed a god.
-The Mortal Blade has claimed another victim.
A/N: I am sure this is just a coincidence.
