Chapter 92: [Adventure at Night!]

Standing between the burnt bodies of the group that was going after the sisters, I looked at Anna and Leena observing me with a fear filled gaze.

With each step that I was taking towards her, made them gulp a little as they held on to each other much more firmly.

"A-Are you... M-Morpheus?" Asked Leena as she mustered up some courage in front of me.

"I am," I spoke in the same spooky voice that I had from before. It was a rough eerie voice that could put fear into the ears of the listener.

I could see them shaking but still not making a move, before I stopped about a couple of meters away from them. The dark shadow that covered my entire body and the black armor over it wasn't really welcoming.

And the purple light from the eyes was more of an icing on the cake.

"Are you the one who asked for the protection mission?" I asked Leena, not caring much about their fear.

"It's our... Boss.... He was the one who paid for it," Leena answered honestly before I smiled a little. Perhaps my smile was creepy as much as my look. They shrieked a little.

'Would love to scare them more, but let's stop here for now,' I smiled as I then chose my next words carefully before speaking,

"Wesker, huh? I wonder what that guy is planning now."

Taking my own name had a simple meaning behind it.

It was to establish a connection between Morpheus and Wesker. The witch sisters would not know what was the connection between those two, but they will know that Morpheus and Wesker both know each other.

It would be helpful in the future in case I need to use powers of 'Morpheus' while having the identity of Wesker. I mean, why would the lone wolf Morpheus help a random shopkeeper?

I just want people to know that there is a mysterious connection between the two so that they won't be shocked or confused later. It will also cut down the slight possibility of 'maybe they are the same person.'

"You know him?" Leena spoke as her eyes widened before I changed the topic.

"Does not concern you. I came here to look for the people I need to protect."

They both looked at the bodies behind me for a few seconds before turning back to me,

"And?"

"And I also came here to set some rules," I added.

"Rules?" Anna spoke out finally, a bit confused.

"Two simple rules. One is that you can't go too far from the city. Two is that if you don't get in trouble with someone stronger than me. Any of those and I quit," I explained it to them.

"What if we try to hurt you?" Anna spoke with a serious face, making me take a second look.

"Then you die," I answered with a smirk, making her take a step behind Leena. She peeked from there at me, mustering some of the courage as she spoke,

"Not fair. You protect."

'Is this brat for real?' I thought before looking at Leena,

"Is this brat for real?"

Leena took a step back along with Anna as they hit the wall behind, while I sighed before muttering,

"I am already regretting my decision."

'I am getting entangled with them pretty much pretty fast,' I thought as I looked at the two girls in front of me. While I don't exactly believe in fate and destiny, I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it than just puree coincidence.

"Creepy," Anna spoke as she looked at me.

"Scary," Leena spoke, following Anna's words.

"Mr. Morpheus," Anna asked with an innocent look on her face as I observed her," hmm?"

"Can you please not smile like that?" She spoke, making me stop smiling as I looked at her, feeling like an idiot.

'Was I getting excited thinking of another adventure coming towards me?' I thought as I shook my head before I turned serious again.

I then moved closer to them and lifted them both up pretty easily by their waist. Holding them tightly, I warned them,

"Hold tight."

"Huh?" Leena was surprised and so was Anna. But before they could realize

[One Way Out!]

[Dexterity Boosted!]

[Superstrenght!]

-Whoosh!!

I ran as fast as I could through the east gate, into the forest, and then deeper into the forest.

[Frenzy!!]

And then, adding another boost, I ran even faster than before as I traveled through the forest. Didn't take much time before we arrived at the destination and I stopped somewhere random on the west road of the forest.

Putting down the girls, I saw that they were unconscious, before I put them on the ground and used [Heal] on them. While it didn't do much, it provided minor relaxation that soon helped them wake up.

"Uh! What.... Happened?" Leena woke up on the road before Anna followed the same.

"Ouch! Pain!"

"We are already near our destination. I thought it would be faster this way," I spoke as I looked at them. Leena's eyes widened as all her dizziness washed away.

She looked around to check the surroundings before she confirmed it. And then her eyes darted back at me before widening a lot.

Anna, however, stood up as she moved closer to me and looked at me with a glare.

"What?" I asked.

"Next time. Warn." She spoke as she held her head again. Seems like she was getting dizzy still.

[Heal!]

Using [Heal] on her, I made her feel a little better, as she calmed down before turning to Leena as I spoke,

"Don't get surprised with something as minor as this. Concentrate on the task."

She kept gazing at me still for a while before she sighed as she muttered in a low voice," my mistake expecting an apology from a mercenary, that too, from a Dark Mage."

She then looked down the road and added in a normal voice," It's there. The camp of those elves is there."
