Chapter 57: Seeking The City Underworld

"Sir! All the criminals have be killed!" a guard barge into the captain's office, causing the older man to be startled.

"Wh did this happed and what did the guards on duty do?!" he bellowed, causing the reporting guard to gulp nervously.

"It seem they are put into sleep, with some ev having their memory erased, forgetting their duty," the guard reported, remembering asking one of the guard he knew of what he was doing only to get a blank stare.

"A mind manipulator or something similar. Not to mtion having vdetta, or at least want something like blood or soul and so target the group that will not get them killed if they exterminate them," the captain deduced, having se something similar, though slightly differt.

He remember a cult that hunted down criminals more efficitly. Everyone, aside from maybe the members of the differt churches, like them, until it was revealed all their 'good' deeds is done to gain ough soul to release a powerful monstrosities into the world.

"Try finding the culprit! I don't want another Blood Moon Cult accidt to occur!" the captain ordered, the guards soon began to check differt all over the city.

"To bad there is no wom inside the cell," Alros said to himself as he walked away. He had spt the night killing all the prisoners but did not find a single woman.

And so, he killed the prisoners, and with how there are some that equal to D-rank advturers and ev C-rankers, he was able to earn a lot of SP, which he planned on using.

Killing 0 or so prisoners earned him 640 SP, which may not seem a lot, especially compared to his LP, but still significant as most skills and spells a 0 to 00 for the first level.

It is only wh it get into second level those it get outrageous, with a single upgrade to the next level being amounted to 00 SP.

However, it is a one time thing, as he killed all the people inside the holding cell, and so, he need another way to gain SP. Being advturers, while dect ough, ev for beginners, it is only wh one reached the C-ranks that one will be considered, well, not wealthy, but upper-middle class.

The three advturers he took as wom slash sex pet, earned a lot of money, with them keeping their possession with them, fearing it will get stol wh they left it with anyone else.

" gold coins for each is ough?" he asked, putting a pouch filled with 0 gold coins in front of the man, as discreetly as possible. He did not want anyone else to see their transaction.

"Hhmm, only barely, but it will not get the juiciest one," Alros smiled before whispering.

"I like to have the gold coins of each. If it is good, th I will maybe see about getting the more expsive one," the man nodded before taking a piece of paper and scribbling on it.

After he finished, he gave it to him. Alros accepted it before reading the information. His eyes lightly narrowed before nodding.

"This is good, but maybe 30 gold coins each will taste better," the sketchy looking man smiled wider as he th scribbled on another piece of paper, though it is a lot longer compared to the previous one.

Wh he finished, Alros accepted it before reading it. After finishing it, he nodded before taking his leave. After all, he learned ough.

"Hahaha! To think I can get so many selling such worthless information!" the sketchy looking man laughed as he begin to count the coins he get from scamming Alros.

While the information is true, the price did not ev rich gold coins, if ev both are combined. After all, he merely told the location of the slave trader and the location of the auction and wh.

Aside from that, most of the information are something that can be learned wh visiting the establishmt and did not ev need an informant to tell them such thing.

So, the fact he was able to scam him with normal information really make him happy. As he walk down the alley, the man started to feel something wrong. He had be hunted before, and knew what it felt like.

After all, this is not the first city he had stop by and scam people, and he manage to gain a lot of emies, and was able to detect a hostile person coming close to him.

His hands on his dagger, he swing it but did not hit anything. Instead, his hands were severed by a blade. As he screamed, blood pouring out of the wound, he did not see the demon that come closer and closer to him.

The last thing he manage to see is his cut of hands.
