Chapter 112: True Chaos Pt.2

Tiff had just left a meeting with a few of the Temples higher ups that didn't have the combat strength to match their importance to the Temple, meaning they were also sitting out of the fight like her. They had informed her that the dagger that she had been meant to use during the battle that was currently happening had been stolen and the best thing she could do was try to track it down before the battle was over.

From what the temple higher ups had said she had plenty of time because the Demon Lord's Army had enough troops to fight for about a week without taking any breaks. It probably wouldn't be nonstop fighting with the fact they mostly liked to attack at night but with the temple wanting to attack during the day there would be very little time when the two sides wouldn't be butting heads.

This all added up to her having a really bad environment to actually track down who had her dagger. It would be one thing if she knew where it was and all she had to do was kill her way to it, but gathering information in an active war zone wasn't going to be easy.

Stepping out of the safe house she and the rest of the 23 had been staying in for the last few days, Tiff looked up into the sky where she saw golden light illuminating the streets every few seconds. She could tell one of the three swords was up there but not which one it was, but if she had to guess she would say it was Greg.

He had a tendency to be aggressive which would explain the frequency of large attacks. Tiff didn't like this style of fighting but she had a completely different situation to Greg; he had the strength one would need to fight like a maniac, and she had to be careful with her limited amount of attacks she could launch before she needed to spend a few days gathering more Holy mana.

Silently slipping past all the people fighting in the streets, Tiff headed towards where the temple had said was the most likely place she would find some of the better thieves that were still in the city. She wasn't surprised that most of the thieves had made a run for it as soon as the fighting had started because even though they were technically in the thieves guild that swore allegiance to the Demon lord most thieves couldn't fight.

They couldn't stop him though just slow him down and if the God of Light didn't find the Demon Lord soon they would be overrun. The Demon Lord had such an advantage because anytime someone was killed they were just added to his army meaning they could never really win just hold him off for a few months while the God of Light figured out where the Demon Lord was recovering/hiding.

Turning the corner Tiff saw the street she had been planning to use to travel to the other side of town was burning and she would need to go another more dangerous way. By dangerous she meant it was packed with more people fighting which increased the odds of her getting hit by a stray attack, or possibly running into someone who could see her.

Heading to go around the fire Tiff saw another of the 23 was on the street ahead. They couldn't see her, but it was nice to know not all of them were in life or death battles just yet. It wasn't surprising Dawn was the holder of the bow making her the perfect person to have watch over the safehouse and make sure none of the Demon Worshipers got anywhere close to it.

Dawn was also one of the few people around that could sense her so she needed to be careful not to be mistaken as an enemy as she passed through. The best way to do that was to make herself visible to let Dawn see her. This would allow others to see her but she knew she could rely on Dawn to keep her safe as she passed through.

Deactivating her skill she waved to Dawn and once she was sure she had been seen she started to walk towards where she needed to go. It didn't take too long for her to leave Dawn's range so she could reactivate her skill and not too long after she had left it she saw a flash behind her she was sure meant dawn had just killed someone.

It was a good thing she had noticed Dawn on top of that building or it might have been her that Dawn had shot. It would have been a quick death though so she guessed it was a lot better than how most people died. It would have made Dawn really upset though if she had killed her by mistake though.

Reaching the place she had been told to go, Tiff was waiting for someone to jump out and kill her but when it didn't happen she guessed she hadn't been set up and she was actually about to talk to some people who might know where the dagger was. Walking over to knock on the door Tiff stopped and stared up into the sky. There had just been a huge flash of red light and when she looked she saw a giant ball of fire flying over the city towards the barrier she had been told was the Alchemist guild.

"It Looks like tonight's fight is over." Fire meant that the person in the sky defending the city had in fact been Greg because the fireball was his finishing move he had been using for years to finish off opponents that were on their last legs. She was sure whoever the Demon Lord had sent to take over the city from them was now ash and the Demon Worshipers would soon retreat, even if it was just for a while.

Turning Tiff knocked on the door. She was just planning to buy the information she needed because she had plenty of money and thieves sold each other out all the time. Tiff always did her best to avoid fights unless the others were in danger like they were now, so she needed to get her dagger back as soon as possible.
