Chapter 72: Lost but found

"Merlin, are you in there?" Artoria called out, standing at the entrance of Merlin's workshop.

"Yes I am!!!" Merlin's voice resounded.

Artoria smiled.

She opened the door and walked in.

Inside the room, she could see Merlin sitting on the ground with her back resting on the wall, and in her hand, a big bottle of alcohol.

"Since when did you start drinking?" Artoria glared a bit.

Merlin belched in response.

"Oh you sweet sweet Artoria..." she was drunk, her cheeks red a bit, "Sometimes in life you gotta drink the problems away".

"What are you talking about?" Artoria sighed, snatching the bottle from Merlin's grasp.

"Ahh, give me back my booze!!! Artoriaaaa!" Merlin cried, wrapping her arms around Artoria's waist as she tried to reach for the bottle.

Raising the alcohol above her head, Artoria took the time to read what was written on it. Her face immediately had a nervous frown.

"Why on earth are you drinking something this intense?" She sounded almost disappointed.

"Can you blame me? I tried to keep my cool but whyyyyyy?! Why is a goddess interested in our Ha Joon?!" she wailed, falling to the ground.

"Goddess? What are you talking about?" Artoria looked at her.

"Oh right, you were kek.. still with kek... the minister guy." Merlin spoke, her back flat on the ground.

"Yeah, I haven't been able to get full info on what happened? So were you guys able to get info on why they wanted to kill Ha Joon?" Artoria asked.

"Kek! We did, only partially though."

"So what was it?"

"They didn't want to kek! Kill him, they kek! Just wanted to take him back to the goddess of Discord. She wants him for kek! Some reason."

"What?"

Artoria was a bit shocked, The goddess Ishtar was considered a high level god, why would someone like her be interested in Ha Joon Kim?

Closing his eyes he began to spread his magic all around his body, this was how he had been able to track her down, both their magic energy can be linked.

He felt it, his magic sense linking up with her, and he also felt it when she accepted the link.

A smile formed on his face, he had managed to let her know he was there, but suddenly, Sinex intentionally severed the link.

Zex's eyes widened.

'Did she?...'

He looked through the window, and to his surprise, Sinex was looking directly at him.

"Say, maid girl, cool if I use the bathroom for a sec?" Sinex asked, pointing at the door.

"Master never gave me a direct order to keep you here, he only said to make sure you don't do anything stupid." Yukio uttered as she packed the blankets, "But I'm busy now, so you can't-"

Yukio's words were cut off when she heard the door barge open.

She turned to check and Sinex had run out of the room, while laughing sinisterly.

'She managed to leave, good, she's coming for me, finally!'

Zex leaped down from the window, landing on the ground, his dick still out and exposed.

He pressed his back against the wall as he took careful steps, trying to make sure none of the guards spotted him.

Zex expected that Sinex would be doing the same thing. In their group, she was not only considered the fastest, but also the sneakiest, hence why she was given The last Assassin.

"What are you doing?"

Zex paused. That was definitely Sinex's voice.

A smile played on his face, his eyes immediately widened with joy as he veered around to greet her.

"Sinex! I'm glad to see you're alright!!!" He ran up to her.

Sinex was standing there, her arms folded with an unimpressed expression on her face.

Just as he was about to hug her.

Bang!
