Chapter 301: Commander Silver Axe
"Are you going out like that?" Daphne asked.
Without covering his head, Death's robes may appear like a normal black piece of clothing, but the more one stared at them, they would begin to notice their unnatural movements. It was like the fabric itself was alive.
The color was also off-putting. The tone of black was so dark that it almost seemed to vanish into the shadows while eating away all the light around it.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
"Right, I should take this off..." Harry almost forgot he was wearing them. The robes were extremely comfortable to him, almost like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold day.
But when he made a motion to take them off, he found an issue. "Mmm...they seem to be stuck."
Daphne got a bit closer to look at the robes better. "Oh wow!" At this distance, she could clearly see it. The robes weren't really acting like a piece of clothing. The black material appeared to have fused with Harry's body, making it impossible to remove.
"I'm not sure how to say this, Harry. But it's like the robes have become part of you..." She hoped for that not to be true, though.
"Wait, you mean I can't remove them?" Harry frowned.
"Calm down. Of course, the robes have become a part of you. This is normal." Xenos stated.
"You knew this was going to happen?" Daphne threw him an accusatory glance.
"Silence, humans !" The Commander screamed with fury. "Drop your wands and lift your hands in the air!. Do not make me repeat myself"
The soldiers had circled the vault entrance, completely sealing any chance of escape without a fight.
As the Commander gave them the order to surrender, the armor-clad goblins took a few steps closer, with their sharp weapons pointing at them.
Daphne glanced at Harry's back. Wondering what kind of plan he had in mind. She could only hope he was not thinking about embarking on something that would lead to a war with the goblin nation. They had enough problems already.
"It's okay, leave it to me." He turned around to her with a confident smile on his face before walking forward to the goblins.
He did not take two steps before the Commander shouted back at him. He and his soldier appear to be ready for an attack at any second.
"Stop!" The Commander pointed his axe at Harry, and his men did the same with their weapons. A good variety of swords, spears, and axes were being aimed at Harry.
"There is no need for that, Commander Silver..." Harry started.
"Silver Axe!" The Commander Corrected.
"Right..." Harry shrugged
Then, much to Daphne's surprise, Harry lifted his hands in the air and offered the goblin Commander a gentle smile. "We surrender peacefully." He threw his wand at the leader's feet.
"What?..." Daphne thought she had heard him wrong. Harry never gave up without a fight... she never thought she would hear him say something like that. But then, she recalled his words from before. 'Is this part of his plan?... I must trust him.'
Xenos was also surprised but hid it better. "I thought I was about to witness the beginning of a new interesting chapter in goblin history." He did sound a bit disappointed.
"Smart choice, Wizard." The goblin Commander pointed ahead. "Arrest them!"
A dozen armed goblin soldiers ran at them.
