"Who is there!"
Turning this head, Danzel scanned his surroundings.
And with being on the roof of the buildings, he quickly managed to see someone hiding a roof who was staring at him with widened eyes.
The man froze for a second, before turning around to make a run for it.
Seeing that, his eyes light up so bright that dark green light came out of his helmet ominously.
"This look...!" Standing up, he put the small magi mask into this storage ring and sprinted towards the man.
Jumping from a building to the next, these eyes were focused on chasing the man.
`That man's expression and where he looked. There is no mistake. He gazed directly at my mask!´ Danzel cursed internally.
Bringing out a small rock that he stored quite a long while ago, he halted for a second before throwing it at the man.
*Baahm!
"What the-!?" Surprised, he fell to the ground as something flew at the wall beside him which resulted in destroying it.
"Crazy!" Getting up from this feet, he quickly jumped to the other roof.
Turning around, he imminently got the chills running through his back.
Seeing his target jumping from roofs while dragging himself forward with his hands on the roofs, he knew he was in some deep trouble.
"I-I need to report this!" With a boost of this determination, he hastens these steps.
"Tch!" Cursing at his aiming skills, he guided this mana through his body.
`Danzel you, idiot! You shouldn´t have carved a rune outside!´
Although using this skill [Swift Movements] with this kind of footing could be considered rather dangerous, he currently didn´t care.
The only thing he cared about now was to catch that peeking bastard before he runs this mouth to someone that he shouldn´t.
He didn´t know who the man was working for, but he really knew that once things got out about this runesmithing he would have to say goodbye Nercana. If he is lucky enough to get out that it´s it.
Even though they both were using mana to increase their movement and he was faster than him. Once Danzel realized where the man was heading to a sense of crisis fell upon him.
"That bastard, he is running towards the association!"
Although he was closing the gap, by the time he caught up to him they would already reach the main building of the association.
Once the man reached that place it would be game over for him.
"I can´t let him go!" Drawing Veren out of this sheath, he guided the mana into Veren while continuing to follow him.
An incredible amount of bloodlust came crippling through the man's back to the point he couldn´t help but a take look behind him.
"Crap!" The moment he saw that dark armorer knight swinging this sword at him, he knew he was into some deep trouble.
And he wasn´t wrong.
*Fsheeeen!
A wind blade filled with dark green light flew in this direction.
Jumping to the opposite roof, the man barely managed to escape the reaping blade out of this grasp.
But as he was elected that he got away, the wind blade that hit the position he was before destroyed a part of the roof with this debris flying at the man's current location.
Showered with multiple stones, some managed to hit this legs and shoulder which made him fall.
"No!"
Falling from the roof, he tried to grab on the walls in hopes to reduce this fall, alas these tries were but a waste of effort.
*Boohm!
"Ugh...Dammit." Trying to ignore the pain through this leg, the man stand up and tried to walk out of this dark alley.
"To think there would be carbage under my fall, I guess lady luck hasn´t abandoned me yet! Some few steps more until this horrible is over!" Limbing towards the alley´s exit, he could grasp the silhouette of the Durendal Association building.
Reaching this one hand out of the alley, the moment this finger touched the light he felt a small rumble from the earth behind him.
"Huh?" Confused, he turned around only to be shocked.
With this arms slowly curling near him, this face turned pale with dread written on this face.
"Hehe, Caught you~"
The next moment he knew, those hands much bigger than his own wrapped around this neck and this mouth.
"Noo! N-mgh! Reali-mgh! S-Save-mgh!" The man was frailing with absolute horror hitting this head.
"Shhh~Let´s go somewhere more private..." Danzel said ominously as he dragged him and himself further down the dark alley.
With some muffled sounds, both slowly disappeared into the darkness.
***
Dragging him by this neck, Danzel threw ed the man he was holding to the nearby wall with so much strength that the man felt all this air in these lungs coming out.
"Agh!" The man fell to the ground helplessly.
With this leg broken and him being dragged then threw down like that was too much even for him who was of the 2nd-tier.
"To think for such a guy was about to bring me so much trouble..."
Raising his hand, he concentrates to cast a spell.
Finish his cast, the earth got compressed and risen as a square form turning just like the table he has done on the church but much smaller.
Seeing this abductor distracted, with this sheer will the man tried to run away.
But Danzel had enough of that.
Using [Swift Movements], he quickly caught up to him ace kicked him to this already broken leg.
"AGhhh!"
Shaking this head, he quickly dragged him near the table before pulling out one of the runed papers.
"Let's see if it works..." He mumbled to himself as he wrote something on the paper.
Turning at the shivering man he said.
"You, why we're you following me?"
"I-I wasn't! I just run because of how scary you looked!"
"..."
In silence, Danzel draw some blood out of him and placed it in the contract.
In the next moment, the contract was ignited in flames.
"Hmm, lies." He nodded satisfied
Since he wrote to tell him the truth on his next question on the contract.
With him lying, the rune activated.
"Alright, do you know what does letters are by any chance?" Danzel did the same thing as before but showed the runes instead.
Shaking his head, the contract similarly ignited into flames.
Starting at him coldly, Danzel pulled out Veren and raised up to the sky.
"Since you aren't much willing to tell me anything other than lies, I might as well end your life here."
Hearing that, the man's face showed panic throughout this face.
"W-Wait, wait! You can't kill me!"
'Oh yeah? Let's find that out." Raising the blade up high, Danzel was about to end him right on this spot.
"I will tell you, I will you! I work for the Union! The merchant union. They told me to tail you."
"..." With doubt, Danzel wrote a similar contract.
After finishing his contract, he made him sign again.
"..."
Starting at the. Newly-made paper being turned into ashes shortly after, this killing intent grew so slightly.
"Since it seems that you don't care much of your life. I hope you don't mind dying."
As if the man had realized something, the man looked at the ashes with wide eyes.
"Can this paper tell...if I lie or not?"
"Hehe, Correct. As for your reward let me deliver it to you right now."
Seeing the blade, he aimed at the man's neck.
With him being in a life and death situation, he racked this mind with ways of how to save this life.
And in the moment of crisis, genius struck him suddenly.
"I work for Master Nevvan!"
With the blade halting right before this neck, the man sighed out of relief.
'Nevvan...' Danzel cursed internally as he bought out a paper to test these words.
With few blood drops in the tune, compared to the other papers this one didn't ignite.
"Why him..." A sense of helplessness started to feel him upon hearing that name.
The memories of him turning you in an instant into a statue.
He knew he was no match against that man. But what confused him was why he was searching for information about him.
'Did the news of Berum already reach here?'
He doubted that since he didn:'t goes public with the runes.
"Why does he want to check me?" Danzel asked confused
With a miserable look on this face, the man pointed at this ring.
"Cause of the ring..."
"Right..." Danzel said calmly outside but cursed to his past seven.
'What should I do now..?' Danzel stayed silent to think out.
'If I kill him that terrific magic caster might go after him. But letting him go would result in many more problems.'
Thinking about of sort time, he suddenly came up with another plan.
Going into writing, he gave the contract that he wrote and gave him to the man in front of him with an evil grin on his face.
"Sign this with your blood if you don't want to die..." He said seriously.
The man realized that this was his last lifeline. Grabbed the contract before freezing in place.
Reading the contract he raised this head at Danzel.
"Isn't this the same as a devil's contract?"
