[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor-Chapter 441 - 440 – Hostage situation.

"…"

(Shit…. This isn't good.) – thought panicking Arthur.

(Hunter?! How the fuck did she… No!)

(It doesn't matter how she knew where we were!)

(She has the Daughter Of Mercy!)

(She somehow snatcher right from Stone's arms!)

"…"

"Walk in this direction." – said Hunter as she started walking backwards.

"We don't want to deal with the holy empire now, don't we?"

"…"

"Do as she says." – said unsure Arthur, not trusting Hunter one bit, but having no choice but to comply with her demands as he and his guild ended up walking away from the battlefield and arrival at completely abandoned part of the town.

"…"

"Hunter." – spoke up Arthur.

"Give her back."

"No." – replied Hunter.

"The boss man wants to know stuff and I'm here to find out."

"If you don't answer my questions, I will kill her right on the spot."

"I've already coated my scythe with multiple poison enchantment skills and red cobra poison."

"Even if she somehow survives decapitation, the poison would definitely finish her off."

"So, what will it be? Will you answer my questions?"

"…"

"What do we do?" – whispered Morina.

"I don't know… She is keeping her distance and she has the scythe right next to her." – whispered back Arthur.

"Maryja still has her divine power sealed, so she doesn't even need to decapitate her to kill her."

"Yea! But at the same time, we can't tell him! Or especially let that fucker Doctor find out about our quest!" – replied nervous Coin.

"….And do you have any other idea?! We don't have fucking time!" – whispered back nervous Arthur.

"Fine!" – said Arthur.

"What do you want?"

"….Well, obviously I want to why you had betrayed us." – said Hunter.

"Arthur."

"We know that you have the power of the elder god and their divinity." – said Hunter, instantly alarming Arthur's whole guild.

"You had no choice but to join the organization faction for your own safety."

"And yet, here you are. Betraying them."

"What for?"

"You ain't idiot and you must know what will happened after betraying us."

"So…. Is it related to this little girl here? You lolicon?"

"…"

"You better answer." – said Hunter as she put her scythe closer to the bag.

"!"

"Yes!" – replied nervous Arthur.

"Hm…. Okay. Next question." – said Hunter as she moved her weapon away a bit from the bag.

"Why?"

"Why the fuck did you saved her? You are the 'traitor' of the holy empire."

"She is your enemy."

"So what would you gain from saving her life?"

"…"

"She doesn't deserve this." – said Arthur.

"Unlike the other children of the holy emperor, she is far too innocent."

"…"

"Bullshit." – said Hunter as she put her scythe closer to the bag once again.

"Did you really betrayed the fucking entire organization for just single kid?!"

"What about all other children that the organization has slaughtered! They may had been NPCs, but so is this girl!"

"So what is so special about her?!"

"Huh!?"

"I won't be fucking around here Arthur."

"You better give me the direct answer right here and now, or she is dead."

"And don't fucking think I haven't noticed that little cat of yours trying to sneak around in shadows!"

"Did you fucking forgotten that one of my main specialty are fucking shadow classes?! I know how that shit works!"

"…"

"Tch." – Coin emerged from the shadows before then quickly running right back towards Arthur's guild members.

"…"

"Talk."

"Now." – said Hunter as she put her scythe right next to the bag, straight up tearing off a bit of the fabric.

"…"

(Shit! I CAN'T TELL!) – thought panicking Arthur.

(If he finds out what we want to do with her, he will just kill her right here and now!)

(Should I bullshit? But if he catches on, he will just kill her!)

"…"

"We plan on killing her." – said Arthur.

"?!"

"Dude?!" – shouted Morina.

"We are planning on killing her." – said Arthur.

"But not here and not now."

"…"

"A sacrifice, huh?" – said Hunter.

"?!"

"What is up with this surprised look?" – said Hunter.

"Saying 'not here and not now' proves that you are planning on sacrificing this little girl."

"Hell, with her as sacrifice, you would make some kind of big deal with forces of hell…. But you are enemies with hell, aren't you?"

"So…. Who or to what are you planning giving her life to?"

"…"

"…"

"Silence again, huh?"

"Well then, how about this."

"You know that this thing here isn't a human, right?"

"She is a half-made being."

"Artificially birthed creature, isn't she?"

"!"

(She knows?!) – thought alarmed Arthur.

"…"

"Yea… We know…" – replied Arthur.

"Really? Then tell me." – said Hunter.

"What is she exactly."

"Remember. Bullshit and she dies."

"…"

"She is artificial created creature…. That was created by the 'Divine Pioneer'." – said Arthur.

"The creature that was created by the mother of light."

"The bastard that goes by the name holy emperor."

"…"

"Go on." – said Hunter.

"!"

"Wait!" – shouted Morina.

"You don't know?! Don't you!?"

"?"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" – said confused Mara.

"You only know a bit of information about the children of the holy emperor, don't you?!" – said Morina.

"That is because you have him as prisoners! Don't you?!"

"The Son Of Glory! He is still alive! Isn't he?!"

"…"

"…"

"Yea. He is alive." – replied Hunter.

"But that doesn't change much, does it?"

"You will tell me everything you know about the holy emperor and the children of his."

"…"

"Wait, so you are telling me that the children of the holy emperor aren't humans?!" – Thanatos remembers her past conversation with Phantasia.

"Nope…. According to the research notes and test we had obtained from my homunculus experiment as well as data from the divine vessel project…. The vampires managed to confirm something when conducing test on the prisoner." – said Phantasia.

"Is that he ain't human. But he is partially manmade creature."

"Well, vampires only confirmed a bit of information about him…. But not the rest."

"'Kid' said that we need information."

"We need to find out what the hell are they…. Since, it may bring us one step closer to destroying the heavens."

"…"

"They are copy vessels." – said Arthur.

"As you know, even though the rulers of this nations changes often, it doesn't necessary means that they just don't die."

"Some of them die out of old age, while some others end up getting killed in battles."

"But in the end of the day, the ruler still remains."

"And that is because all of them were exactly same person."

"The Divine Pioneer… He isn't a human."

"He is a creature that doesn't have a body and have ability to jump from a body to body."

"And he does that by using his children that are made in his image."

"A fake clones if you may call it."

"…"

"So wait…. If I get this correctly…. The emperor dies, but lives…." – said Hunter as she stared at the bag.

"So does that mean whenever this bastard dies, he takes over the body of one of his children and new emperor is born?"

"…"

"Precisely." – replied Arthur.

"….Then this makes even less sense." – said Hunter.

"Why?"

"Saving this girl doesn't make any sense."

"If the only way to truly kill this fucker is to only kill all children of the holy emperor alongside the emperor himself, then why wait with killing her?"

"…"

"Because there is the sixth child." – said Arthur.

"Even if you kill all 5 children of the holy emperor, the emperor will resurrect no matter what, since the 6th child that nobody knew the exitance off will be used as base for the emperor resurrection."

"…"

(6?) – thought Hunter.

(There was no information like this whatsoever... Is he bullshiting?)

(….No…. There is good chance that there is something else going on.)

(But who? That guy needs to be working for somebody who knows some stuff.)

"…"

"Let's say that this 6th child exists." – said Hunter.

"What does it have to do with not killing the Daughter Of Mercy right here and now?"

"…"

"Because with our method, the divine creature will face permanent death."

"No matter if there are additional vessels or not."

"He will die."

"…"

"And?" – said Hunter.

"I doubt you would gain some sort of 'simple' satisfaction."

"You are doing quest and-"

"!"

"You are fucking with me?" – said Hunter to herself.

"…"

"Tch."

"Fine." – said Hunter as she suddenly threw the bag at the party, catching everybody off guard as Arthur suddenly threw himself at the bag, catching him.

"Take her and kill her in your way."

"!"

"Wait! What the hell is meaning of this?!" – said Arthur as he drew his sword.

"Why are you suddenly giving her up?! What game are you playing at?!"

"Nothing really." – said Hunter.

"Just fallowing orders." – said Hunter before then disappearing right into the shadows.

"…"

"What the actual fuck was that about?!" – asked Mara.

"How am I supposed to know!?" – said Arthur.

"Tch."

"Forget it! For now, run for it!" – said Morina.

"The holy empire forces are right around the corner! I can detect them! We need to get the fuck out of here before they find us!"

"…"

(But seriously.) – thought nervous Morina.

(What the hell was that bitch deal?!)

(What the hell was she playing here?!)

"…"

"Why did you ordered me to let them go." – said Hunter who observed from afar the Arthur's guild.

"Shadow Mask?"

"It was the "Kid's" order." – replied Shadow Mask.

"…"

"Well. I'm not complaining…. Honestly, it is between him and Phantasia." – said Hunter.

"Let them duke it out…."

"But I've got say one thing."

"Just why would "Kid" be so willing to set one of these bastards lose?"

"Their entire story may had been a lie as well."

"I don't know and I don't care." – replied Shadow Mask.

"It was the king's order to let Arthur and his guild go free."
