The Strange Life I Live

Trying to finish

Some people began to visit a two-story inn, where the – people were adventurers who stayed at the inn. They slowly entered the place, after they finished investigating a case during the day that happened to this village.

But what they did not know, someone on the second floor who was in the inn they were heading to, clearly saw their arrival. There could be seen a curtain slightly open from a room, where one-armed man was watching their movements.

“Hm... so there will be a massacre yes..” murmured the man who is Zen while being cool to pay attention to the arrival of the adventurers who just came.

Zen was currently on high alert, due to his confrontation with the village chief whom he had considered to be the mastermind of this incident earlier this morning, possibly making them move to attack him due to his existence which might threaten them.

“But it does not seem like I am the only one they are after Zen murmured after seeing some figures of people who turned out to be following the adventurers and was settling for ” to end up following them.

Using his perception skill, Zen began to check on the state of the adventurers and found them starting to enter their respective rooms. Indeed the perception skill is still low, but enough to feel the entire building of this inn.

“They moved” murmured Zen, after seeing some shadows also starting to approach the lodging area.

But before Zen reacted, an explosion of a fire skill aimed right at his room. Seeing that, Zen still remained silent and allowed the attack to come at him.

“KABOOOMM And the sound of a huge explosion began to sound.

Three attacks directly led to several places from this inn, where one of the attacks led to the room where Zen was currently.

But before the smoke from the attack subsided, a large black barrier began to enclose the entire village, and isolate it from the outside world.

With the attack over, the 4 adventurers whose rooms were also hit by the blast burst straight out of their shattered rooms, and started standing right in the courtyard of the inn where they were staying.

“Luckily I still had time to make barier” said Ari who is a Mage diparty it.

“Ya... and also I had time to feel the existence of mana and immediately took out my shield” said Bennard who used all his armor and all his combat equipment like a sword and shield.

The four of them were still standing next to each other and waiting for the person who attacked them to appear. But not long after, they saw a man holding a woman begin to appear in front of them.

“Nona Alice?!” they shouted in unison, because the person being carried by the cloaked man was Alice who was being tied up.

“MmMmm Mmmmmm” is how Alice's voice comes out of her mouth that has been gagged with a cloth.

“I want those two women for my ritual” said the cloaked man while pointing towards Ari and Sif.

“Cih... I've guessed they are a worship group Jia Shin” said Bennard saw the man wearing a robe typical of Jia Shin followers, the black cloak that covers their entire body and has a skull logo with a scorpion surrounding it, is located on the left chest of the robe.

“Hahahaha... glad to be recognized by some people” said the man after hearing their identity was known.

But after he laughed, some people started to appear and put on the same robe as himself, and began to surround the adventurer party from the front.

“Shape formation!” bennard shouted to his group after seeing they were already surrounded by enemies.

Ari and Sif started to stand behind Bennard, and one of their members who was carrying a sword and wearing light armor started to be at the very back and guard the area behind them.

“Lexi, keep an eye around” Bennard told a very quiet one-party man.

The man named Lexi did not answer the words of Bennard, but he was swiftly behind his group and obeyed the command of his chairman. But while monitoring the situation around him, his gaze led to a room on the second floor, where the remaining attacks from the attacks that attacked his party were directed.

Slowly the smoke that covered the shattered room began to dissipate, and gave rise to a man still standing calmly staring towards the adventurers and assailants of this place.

“Ho. Indeed, the owner of the light element should not be underestimated-” but the man's words were cut off, after a quick attack directed towards him.

The attack was very fast, forcing the man who was carrying Alice to immediately release him and pull out his weapon to fend off the attack that was heading towards him.

“Cih... I'm off-guard said the man who managed to withstand the attack coming at him.

In front of him, a man who was previously on the second floor, was currently his sword was meeting each other with the man's sword, which could be seen the man was only smiling at him at this moment.

“Now!” zen shouted that started to duck and let an arrow quickly point towards right from the head of the robed man.

For the attack, the man began to fall down because the attack managed to hit right in his head. Zen, who saw that, began to put his sword into his storage and grabbed Alice and led her towards the adventurer party behind him.

“Good shot” Zen said after he arrived at the party venue.

“This is not over yet, they are a forbidden group that studies tabu” magic Bennard told Zen.

“What do you mean?” asked Zen then who was still confused by the words of Bennard.

“Look at yourself” Bennard said as he pointed at the person shot by the arrow from sif.

Zen then looked back to where the person he had killed was. Surprisingly, his men seemed to be acting ordinary, and did not react to what was happening to the person who led them.

But moments later, the man who was hit by the arrow began to rise and stand as before, as if nothing had happened to him even though the arrow was still stuck right on his head.

The man began to undo his robe and could be seen a very thin man, whose flesh seemed not to be on his body and only bones and skin remained, and it could be seen that the arrow shot by Sif was stuck right in his eyes.

The man began to grab the arrow that stuck in his eyes and pluck it out. It could be seen that his eyeballs were also carried away as he pulled out the arrow, but he was still acting ordinary.

“Give me eyeball” said the man lightly.

Hearing his words, his subordinates started carrying a box where the man who had lost his eyes started to take something from inside and started to pair it in his eyes right then and there.

“What – what's a” said Zen who was a little taken aback by the incident he just saw that.

“They are from the Jia Shin group, where the members famously used a ritual that made them unable to die” Bennard said.

“There is such a ritual?” zen asked who was a little panicked after hearing a fact he had just heard.

“Ya... We were assigned to a village where we investigated kidnapping cases. But until there, the village was completely destroyed and where the population has died with the condition of the body dry” said Bennard.

“And the culprit is a follower of their heresy?” asked Zen and replied to the nod of the adventurer party at that place.

“Cih... I should have seen more details of their data” Zen murmured.

Indeed, Zen had already scanned them using his smartphone, but he had only seen the level they had, and was confident enough to fight them by helping the adventurer party that was with him.

Zen did not have time to check their entire skill, because the number of people he had to scan and resulted in him getting into a dangerous scheme at the moment. Indeed, at this time he is still a careless person, even though he had been careful – hearts.

“Sial, it looks like I'm logged into the tiger” cage
