Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Black Dust

A long hallway with a variety of paintings that are quite erotic, along with many fairly mature appearances from various directions. The room was filled with moans, along with various scents that were quite unclothed for someone like Zephys.

Many pairs of eyes were staring at Zephys suspiciously. The crow mask he wore everywhere was quite eye-catching. However, now it is different like a strange paradise. Almost everyone in the hallway and the room was wearing a party mask.

Zephys steps to a stop in one of the rooms with the door open. Putting aside the few people there who were doing various hot things, Zephys eyes looked at a grain like black sand. In plain sight the sand gave off a kind of transparent black air.

“Black Dust, is it?” Slow down Zephys.

He stepped back, following Sin in front of him. Black Dust is a drug that contains adaptive energy that is so severe. It is this drug that makes the world dark or the other side of the beautiful Westburg. Various information about this drug Zephys got from Sin's explanation.

Addictive, making it someone who consumes it into hallucinations, increasing hormones, and various things that cause negative effects on the human body or mental. Zephys understood Black Dust to be nothing more than Sabu-sabu.

Because of this effect this drug is so desirable. Zephys realized the man Falconi was so genius at Black Dust marketing. He targets someone with low welfare, makes them opiate, and forces them to submit to him with the help of Black Dust.

A woman accidentally holds the arm of Zephys trying to flirt with a pretty serious body. Zephys panicked a little, and gently released him slowly. Realizing he could not stand the treatment and the gaze of some women on him, Zephys complained.

“Still long?” He spoke with an urgent tone. Sin did not turn around but he made a sound. “Contact..” Said slowly.

Zephys could only smile wryly but he asked again.

“Actually who do you want to meet? Please give something specific.” Zephys. While Sin only sighed in annoyance, he could not hear Zephys whining. “Mucikari who has a lot of information I guess!?” Said Sin in an annoyed tone.

Zephys just sighed, not wanting to make Sin angry. Because after all he was once wiped out by Sin, of course the feeling of reluctance was clearly so felt. Even so, at least able to resist various temptations on various sides of this hallway.

Eventually, Sin stopped at a closed door. Sin knocked on the door several times, with a not-so-fast response someone peeked out from one of the small holes. Noticing someone behind the door, Sin realized that and gave him a gesture to let him in.

The door opened along with the entrance of Zephys and Sin. The figure of a beautiful woman wearing a party mask with a fairly erotic outfit sat on a long sofa in red, with a little dress of red luxury cloth as well. Various drinks and expensive cakes are clearly presented neatly in front.

Sin sat down before the woman invited him. Meanwhile Zephys glanced at someone who had previously stood in front of the door. Zephys did not expect that the guard was a woman. Even so, Zephys gaze again led to the woman dressed in a red dress in front of him.

“During did not meet Sin.” He said with a warm smile. While Sin was silent, downed the drink in front and answered. “New three days.” Say

The woman smiled again, but her eyes looked at Zephys with a meaningful smile.

“So who is this sweet guy?, you want me to hire him?” His words are soft along with implied meaning. Sin chuckled, answering him in half a calm tone. “Although he's a pervert, but I have no intention to make him work here.” His word.

Zephys who heard that was eager to rebel but he held it for as long as possible. Although Zephys had seen Sin who was quite hot at the time, but actually all he saw was a dragon tattoo on his back. He was not at all perverted, but rather amazed by the painted art. But even so, it feels so free. Zephys could only sigh.

“He's on our side so just get Sarah straight, what do you want to tell me?, I hope it's very useful.” Sin is serious.

“Of course-” Say slightly cut. The woman took out a map, she pointed to an area that seemed to be a forest area. “I found the main material make Black Dust, in this area is heavily guarded by Falconi troops.” Say

“So you want us to destroy that main ingredient?” Sin said along with a knock on the table. “Really, but to really destroy it we need someone who is an expert in sneaking.” His word.

Sin nodded slowly, but his gaze slowly turned to Zephys. So did Sarah who understood Sin's gaze.

“Hmm... She?” Sarah with a graceful fan covered her mouth. Sin only nodded slowly along with his tone of confidence.

“Alright I'll sneak up and destroy the material. But what is the main ingredient?” Zephys.

“Plant flower type named Demiana, purple and has a beautiful shape.” Reply Sarah.

Zephys was silent for a moment, if it was true that the main ingredient of Black Dust was a flower then the best way to destroy it was to be burned out. But it will attract a lot of attention. Sarah who is quite sharp smiles behind her fan.

“You can burn it-” He said, he then took a brown Scroll. “In this Scroll store fire magic, use this to burn that flower.” Say

A system window is back in sight

Looking at the window of the Quest Zephys smiled faintly. He took out the fire magic scroll and accepted it. “Alright I'll do your job.” His words are confident. But the woman asked again. “Oh yes, what is your name?” Say

“Ze-” When about to answer a voice cut off Zephys answer. “Es cream, its name is ice cream.” Said Sin with the thumb he lifted, Sarah can only smile wryly behind her fan.

“Zephys my name..” Said slowly.

“Alright Zephys I look forward to the cooperation.” Sarah said kindly and answered a small nod by Zephys.

“Then we switch on the second information.” He said, closing the fan and showing his mouth is quite beautiful. Both Sin and Zephys listened carefully.

“I heard there is someone who is also an enemy of Falconi, maybe he can be invited to cooperate.” Sarah said seriously.

Hearing that Sin smiled slightly. One of the factors of victory is having many allies. Even though this is valuable information, one person against one organization can guess that person is quite strong. Attracting him to be an ally was the right choice.

“Can you explain further?” Sin is interested.

“I've never met him. But all I know is that he wanders around at night, hunting down Black Swan members without looking at feathers.” He said along with a colorless photo that he displayed on the table. His physical form is not very visible but Zephys and Sin can see the figure is covered in fire.

“She has elemental fire, I can't give you any more information. But if you want to meet him, maybe it can be at night.” His word.

Both Zephys and Sin nodded slowly in confirmation. The information that the Zephys can find so interesting is that Demiana Zephys's flower fields are financially devastating for the Black Swan. Similarly with the increase of allies their burden becomes much lighter. Zephys then stood up.

“Then I go first, I will burn the flower fields!” Zephys spirit.

***

The night where everything felt so dark, the building towered in a strategic location. A guard is seen patrolling the large building, with a sword she holds on her waist as if hinting that she is ready under any circumstances.

But the weather and circumstances are so different than usual. It felt so quiet and also silent, even the sound of nocturnal animals that usually decorate the night with her was now gone. The patrolling guard stopped his steps.

“Maybe my feelings only..” Wipe that guard.

He returned his feet.

Shadow crept in the path that the guard was on, the guard turned his head quickly as if he were being followed. However, he could not see anything. Or maybe it's just his feelings, he's back on his feet.

The shadow crept back on the wall that the guard passed. The shadow crept into the silence of the deep passage, bringing a horrified feeling to the guard.

He increased the pace of his steps, aware of the unwearing feeling haunting his every step. Something appeared behind his back, with a reflex he immediately turned his head back along with the sword he drew.

However, there is no one.

The guard with a breath so heavy walked backwards with the sword he was still lifting as a form of alert. He retreated slowly until he could no longer retreat because he hit a hallway wall.

“What feeling is this..” Said frightened.

Darkness crept back behind the guard. Unknowingly, a hand appeared within the wall just behind the guard. Silencing him loudly, the guard revolted with a feeling of fear.

But the dagger pierced his neck so deeply. Penetrating his throat made him fall down without realizing he had left. The fall of the guard was a positive confirmation of the figure.

He came out of the wall. A figure in all-black clothing with a head covering as a protection shield. He smiled a little at the guard he killed, he thought it made someone scared and executed it as a work of art.

“Ok Zephys second, time to work.”
