Origin Lust Sword System-Chapter 27 Target: Slum District-A

Cyrus watched Rita getting cold feet as those guards approached them, but he remained stoic. He had no intention of getting involved in this because they had discussed this many times before they headed out.

Furthermore, it was also a test of sorts for Rita as a newbie cultivator. Cyrus wanted to test her resolve to move forward with him as well as he wanted to see if she could take drastic measures when push comes to shove.

Although if he wanted, he could easily do what he normally does and kill his way out of here, he was completely capable of that right now.

But he wanted to give Rita a chance to break out of her cocoon because after they leave the slum districts, they will face Uniques, not these weak ordinaries.

So, if Rita wanted to continue to become, she had to stop thinking of herself as an ordinary and truly walk the path of a true cultivator, the path of defiance, the path of no retune!

"Why are you covering your faces? Lose those masks, or we'll open fire!" The guard loudly yelled in a threatening tone.

Following his warning, the other guards also lock their guns toward Rita and Cyrus.

No matter how they see them, they were walking toward the district gates in the middle of the night, clad in black cloths, covering their faces with masks; they were nothing but suspicious.

Rita glanced at Cyrus and was astounded because of how calm he was standing beside her while crossing his arms.

'Isn't he afraid that I might put his life in danger? Did he have so much trust in me…' Strange thoughts surfaced in her mind.

Rita finally snapped out of it when she heard the voices of guns being loaded. She was extremely familiar with these voices. She was also trained in firearms and received basic hand-to-hand combat training.

However, she had never faced such a dangerous situation when so many guards were locked on her, except when she encountered Cyrus.

But deep down, she knew it was a test for her, and she didn't want to fail at any cost.

Rita's eyes turned sharp; a strange purple hue started to shine over her brown irises. They were glowing!

All of a sudden, a strange, sweet fragrance started to drift in the air like a gentle breeze warm breeze.

Cyrus's stoic expression instantly cracked, and his lips curled up when as he enjoyed that mesmerizing scent.

This was the Charm Perfume that she had awakened, and now she was in complete control of this ability after training with Cyrus.

Those guards also smell the Charm Perfume, and their cold expressions start to change with pleasure, and their tightened nerves loosen.

Rita was closely observing them, and she didn't waste this chance, 'Mind Wander Charm Art!'

She instantly activated the Mind Wander Art and a strange aura spread!

Those men's eyes started to turn misty as their expressions turned luscious. It was like they were in a wet dream.

"Lower your guns!" Rita while her eyes still glowing in purple gentle order.

The very next moment, those guards lower their guns without hesitation while their expressions turn even nastier.

They were now completely under her spell, and as long as she had Qi, they won't be able to break free.

The Mind Wander Charm Art, once successfully charm the target, it is impossible to escape it, and the caster can even order the spellbound target to commit suicide; they will, without even a second delay.

Its only weakness was it rang because the further the caster was, the harder it was to keep the spell active and the more Qi it would consume. Not to mention the Charm Perfume was also limited, like the Mind Wander Charm Art.

But these problems can be solved as long as Rita grows stronger and stronger.

Rita's eyes lit in ecstasy when she saw how those guards were disarmed with her single order and glanced toward Cyrus, clearly hoping for his praise. But she was met with nothing but a jeering remark.

"Focus on your spell, or it might break!"

"Hmph, arrogant!" She scowled before turning her focus on those charmed guards and angrily ordered, "Idiots, open the gates!"

She was clearly angry at a certain someone but could only get back at those weaklings since 'he' was too strong for her.

The guard hiding behind the post followed her order and pressed a button as an electric beep rang, and the tightly shut metal gate parted.

Rita held her chin up high as she scoffed, "Hmph, there!"

"Heh, how childish…" Cyrus smirked as he moved forward without even glancing at her, which made her gnash her teeth.

"Y-You jerk!" Rita cussed under her breath as she followed.

They successfully crossed the gate before Rita gave the command, "Close it!"

With another electric beep, the gate got closed, and Rita also broke her spell while beads of sweat were forming over her smooth forehead. She had spent over 30% of her Qi just now to keep the spell and her ability active.

One of the advantages of the Mind Wander Charm Art was the target would not be remembered anything after the spell was broken by the caster, and as a side effect, a target will lose consciousness for at least an hour.

Nevertheless, Rita and Cyrus couldn't let their guard down because the patrol team would arrive at the scene soon, and when they found those guards unconscious, they would sound the alarm.

So, they both quickly moved, and this time they were blocked by the guards of the District-F side, but Rita didn't delay this time and quickly used her ability and skill.

Leaving those charmed guards behind, they both vanished within District-F, and this time, Rita didn't have to use more than 5% percent of her Qi because of her quick action.

Cyrus couldn't help but comment, "If you hadn't wasted so much time standing there before, you would've still had more than 90% of your Qi. That's why I was telling you to strike first and lithely without hesitation.

"If those guys were real cultivators, then they would've reacted hundreds of times over and go for the killing blow while you were stunned there and struggling!"

Rita trembled slightly but didn't retort since she knew Cyrus was telling the truth and lowered her head dejectedly.

"Sigh…" Cyrus sighed helplessly as his tone turned somewhat gentle as he uttered, "For your first time, it was quite decent. Tell me, do you want to continue or rest?"

Rita couldn't help but look at him with somewhat wet eyes, 'So, he cared after all.' She suddenly felt all those frustrations gone in smoke when she saw gentleness in his eyes.

She quickly answered with resolved "NO! We'll be going according to our plan and only stop at District-A, and I will try my best not to mess up next time!"

Cyrus was content with her reply, "Alright, let's go then. It won't be late before they alert the bigwigs, and this will make it even more difficult to cross those districts afterward, and you can't handle more than ten targets with your current Qi. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

"So, we better pick up the pace. Once we're in District-A, there would be only that famous Unescapable Wall between our freedom from this shithole, and we don't have to bother these pitiful idiots anymore."

Cyrus chuckled at the end with a somewhat cold tone. He was in a hurry to leave this place since he was already getting impatient to complete the lust mission.

Because Rita was already at the peak of Qi Gathering Realm, and what was left was to kill someone with the Tier-10 Rank strength!

So, he was going to complete the easiest condition of the lust mission once he and Rita entered District-A so he could advance after completing the killing condition on the spot.

He couldn't help but glance at the determined beauty beside him, full of desire, but he quickly hid it since he didn't want to break his serious image, or this girl might not take him seriously again.

---

Just two hours after Cyrus and Rita were on the move.

In District-A, an emergency meeting was called by the one and only Rank-6 Officer in the entire Slum District, the District Administrator of the entire slum district, and had full control over the entire Slum District.

However, unlike a meeting in some conference room, this meeting was held in an underground hall.

This hall had no furniture; it was made with pure white marble, and in the center of this hall was a one-meter gray column.

Two old men with extraordinary bearing were standing around this column with solemn expressions on their wizened faces. Another middle-aged man with short black hair and a bulky build was also taking a spot among these two old men.

He was the current District Administrator of the Slum District while one of the two old men was his father and also the retired District Administrator of the Slum District while the second-old man was the current Chief of the Police and Reinforcer Department.

These three held the highest authority over the entire slum district, and now they were currently gathering in this mysterious place.

What are they planning to do?
