Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 829 An Unknown Friend

TIP TIP

Drops of blood dripped from the tip of a blade held in the trembling hands of a robber.

"I- I just asked... you to hand o- over the money, I- I didn't want to kill!"

CLANG

The knife fell to the ground into the growing pool of blood. Before him lay a corpse, its eyes empty and staring lifelessly at him.

The man wore a black outfit, a deep wound visible across his belly. Beside him, a bald guy cowered in fear.

The Baldy pushed himself backward while begging for his life, almost pissing his pants.

The robber finally came to his senses. He checked the pockets of his victim and found only a compass.

It was a dark alley, the surrounding tall buildings completely hiding the brutal scene from the eyes of others.

Throwing the compass away and picking up the knife again, he looked at the Baldy.

"Y- You have to die too, I don't want to get caught!!"

The robber suddenly charged forward, stabbing the knife toward the Baldy's neck.

Outside the dark alley, on the main bustling street, a man holding an umbrella looked at the scene for a few moments.

"Haa, there doesn't seem to be any anomaly here either. Sigh, do we need to change the region or something?"

After staring at the scene for a few more moments, he finally walked away.

WHISH

The knife stabbed toward the Baldy's neck, but instead of piercing through, it bent the moment it struck him.

"H- Huh? What's... happening?" the robber stumbled back, falling onto his butt.

"Ugh, what a great start we got the moment we arrived here."

The corpse suddenly sat up. The blood disappeared, and the wound was gone as well.

Pushing his hair back, he muttered, "It is fine now, come out."

Instantly, eight people walked through the wall.

"W- W- What?!!"

The robber was terrified. He wanted to run away, but his body wouldn't move.

"Tsk, what a disgrace to the name of thieves. So pathetic."

Onest spoke while picking up the compass.

Vritra got up. He took the compass and stared at it.

"Finally, the danger is gone. That was too sudden."

After passing through the portal, the group found themselves in this alley.

To begin the game, they decided to check the compass, which was supposed to be of great help.

But the moment they took it out, it began to show the highest-level threat. That was why they tried to hide quickly.

Yet at the last moment, that robber and the level 6 demi god appeared and saw Vritra and Baldy, and hence the whole scene played out.

The level 6 demi gods arrived there the fastest, while the others were still just arriving.

Soon, they might start to understand the situation, and even the gods would become aware of it.

"We need to move quickly, and as discussed, our goal is..."

After speaking, Vritra raised the compass.

It pointed to their south, and a golden crown appeared at the tip of the needle.

The town looked quite similar to Earth, with tall buildings and people rushing to their jobs.

But Vritra could tell it was far from Earth. There were strong people mixed among ordinary citizens.

The compass also showed them a map, though it wasn't very detailed, and according to it, this was a small town.

It was still daytime, so the only people they had to worry about were the level 6 demi gods.

They just had to act as normally as possible.

As long as those demi gods didn't think of them as abnormalities, they would remain safe.

"So, shall we get started?"

Vritra pointed toward a tall building in the distance with a signboard that read: Night Corp.

These games with high danger and small objectives would take less time.

So they had to do everything as quickly as possible.

"What about him?" Shitless asked, pointing toward the robber.

Vritra glanced at the robber, who was about to faint from fear, then spoke:

"Psyche, kill him and take over him."

A shadow flew out from under Vritra's feet, killing the robber instantly.

Then the man calmed down. He stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

There were various scars on his face, but Psyche changed his appearance slightly.

"Master, it seems there aren't many level 6 demi gods in this town, and no one seems to have grasped the situation here yet," Maeve spoke while using the shadows to monitor the surroundings.

She was being extremely careful, not even going close to any demi gods, but those arrogant people didn't even try to hide their auras.

Of course, they would only understand the gravity of the situation once they found out about the mess.

"We have to be careful of the abnormalities as well. It wasn't stated that they would be weak. While others are searching for them, they might also be searching for their prey."

Vritra instructed them calmly.

While talking, the eleven people walked out of the alley.

Since their appearances were too eye-catching, they were using light camouflage to make themselves look ordinary.

The people walking in a hurry glanced at them only once before minding their own business.

"The crown bearer or the crown itself should be there. The level 3 demi gods will be easy to deal with. But even their game won't be so easy. There will definitely be people hunting them, sigh..."

Yennefer sighed while speaking.

They had to do everything while being careful of the players and all the other dangers.

This was really too much for them when they were only level 3 demi gods.

"Look, want to try that cotton candy?"

Yasmine pointed toward a shop, smiling as if the games didn't matter to her at all.

"Sure, let's go. You got any money?"

Turning back, Vritra looked at Psyche, who checked his pockets and handed over all the money he had.

Getting to the shop, Vritra purchased cotton candy for all eleven people.

He paid the money and took the cotton candy, but then he felt a tug on his sleeve.

Looking down, he saw a little girl wearing ragged and dirty clothes. One finger was in her mouth as she licked her lips.

"You want this?" Vritra asked, while internally remaining alert. Could this be one of the creatures here?

"Y- Yes..." she spoke in a low, fearful voice.

"Damnit, what are you doing here again? Get away before I beat you up!!"

The fat shopkeeper glared at her while picking up a stick.

"It's alright, I'll buy one for her."

Vritra handed over the money and gave her the cotton candy.

Then he turned and started walking with the others.

He was nervous and observing everything carefully.

Whether it was the shopkeeper, the cotton candy, or the little girl.

"Is she still following us?" Yennefer asked, glancing back at the little girl.

She silently kept following behind them like a lost puppy.

Frowning, Vritra suddenly stopped.

He stepped in front of a man who was looking at his watch.

"Wha- hey, what are you doing?"

The man paused abruptly, ready to fight Vritra.

"Are you a woman? And you better lie!"

Vritra glared at him while releasing a bit of his killing intent.

"Hieeek! I- wha? Y- Yes, I am a woman!"

The man was scared shitless, stumbling and falling backward.

{Sin Point Gained: Deceived +1}

'Sigh, this is great. It is still working perfectly.'

Vritra patted the man's shoulder and started walking again.

They had to get the crown first. Everything else could wait, and the compass didn't show any danger coming from that little girl.

Ignoring her, the group increased their pace, almost running toward the tall building with the signboard: Night Corp.

Thankfully, they didn't encounter any danger.

The other players must still be busy getting familiar with this place.

Walking into the building, they started climbing the stairs, quickly reaching the twentieth floor.

TIC

"The compass is pointing toward this office. The crown must be inside."

Vritra gestured for the others to stay where they were.

"Hubby, let us all barge inside. It could be dangerous," Yasmine spoke in a low voice.

"It's alright. If you feel something is wrong, you can enter."

Without giving them any chance to argue further, Vritra was already walking forward.

Vritra couldn't describe this feeling.

It was unlike anything he had ever felt before.

Not even in the presence of the gods or Evelyn.

Was this sort of pressure normal for a game meant for level 3 to level 6 demi gods?

What exactly was inside?

Gulping, he pushed open the door and walked inside.

The office was spacious and clean. There wasn't a single person in sight.

It looked like a completely normal office, except for the creepy feeling that was gnawing at Vritra's mind and soul.

There was a table where a few items were placed neatly, and behind it sat a chair with its back facing Vritra.

There was a signboard that read:

'Emp. Dracon.'

The compass buzzed.

He was very close to the crown.

"Uh, excuse me?"

Vritra called out.

He had initially planned to attack, but after coming here, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

There was no response.

Was there even a person there?

Clenching his fists, he started walking forward.

Although the pressure was undeniable, it wouldn't make him freeze.

Suddenly, just as he got close to the glass table, the chair turned and the person sitting on it became visible.

And it shocked Vritra.

He was seeing this person for the first time.

White hair, red eyes, and extremely handsome features.

His charm wasn't one bit lower than Vritra's own, maybe it was even higher.

"Uhm, who are you?" Vritra asked.

He could tell this person was very strong.

"Hello, Vritra. You might not recognize me yet, but we are friends... in a way."

The other person spoke, his aura undeniably heavy and strangely charming.
