《Repeat》16. Infiltration
Advertisement
The rebellion army already left the underground city for the attack an hour ago. Only children, woman, and some guards is staying. Good, he’s doing exactly as I say. Therion infiltration is a sure thing. So, we need to take precautions if the government is expecting the attack and sends another troop to this place.
Lihar is a two words fugitive, Lihar the Rebellion Seed. There should be few two words hero and one word hero guard the king. But, even if they get defeated, the king itself is a one word hero. Cana’an the King. To be told, the rate of success of this mission, overtaking the city, is below 10 percent. But if I butt in as Mada the Raider, I can say it will increase into 50 percent. But it’s not really my trouble. What I want is the God Item.
I’m walking through the stairs toward the main building with Pair of Dragon and Phoenix in my left hand. The lance sword is still inside the shield.
Fiona and Ado should be there. Erfia and Reis are walking behind me with a gloomy face. They still can’t believe what I told them. But, that’s the truth. We reach the main building and see Fiona and Ado are playing around with at least 10 people are taking guard.
“Ah, Mada, are you about to leave for the surface?” Fiona stops playing with Ado and is coming at us.
“Well, actually about that, I can’t leave yet.” I pull my lance sword from my shield and take a stance. I take a breath and let out a loud voice, “Because, Therion the Unknown is right here in this place.”
The moment I say it, all the guards are surprised and look at each other. They grow doubts toward everybody in that place. Fiona that hears this is shocked as well. She looks into Ado and feels a great threat.
“Please, Bill, could you take Ado to his room? This makes me worry.” Fiona prioritizes Ado safety over her own. What a mother.
“No! Stop! As I said before, Therion the Unknown is in this room. Both of you will be safe around me.” I walk a few steps and make her stands behind me.
Fiona is becoming more and more panic. She looks into Ado and makes a hand gesture for Ado to come. Ado just obediently follows his mom wish and walks toward us. In that little time, I cast a silent incantation of Blood Transformation and Speed of Wind. This will make me ready for battle when she shows herself.
When Ado walks beside me, I quickly swing my lance sword toward him.
~Clang~
In that short moment, the iron in the floor is holding my lance sword. My lance sword is hitting the floor with the fallen Ado, just a single step in front of it.
“Mada, what’s the meaning of this?” Fiona is pissed and walks towards me.
Reis and Erfia is trying to hold her away from me. All the guards are not moving at all. They can’t move due to the shocking scene in front of them.

Normal people would see it as Ado tripped because he scared and lucky. But, it was not a luck. I can saw it clearly, he purposely fell and avoided my swing. He had a high reaction speed. No normal people could avoid or dodge my swing.
“Hello Therion. Long time no see.” I talk to Ado with a menacing tone.
“Un, uncle what’s wrong? My, my name is Ado, no, not Therion. Who’s thi, this Therion person?” Ado tries to defend himself. His body is shaking so great that he can’t speak clearly.
“It’s okay if you want to die in that form. I couldn’t care less.”
I swing my lance sword once again. This time at full speed. If he is not Therion, he won’t be able to dodge this. But at that moment, he jumps backwards and leaps a few meters in a single jump.
“Damn! How could you swing your weapon into an innocent looking child like him? Is there no hesitation when you swing your weapon? Even the slightest? You could have really killed him, you know?” Ado speaks in a very different tone. His way of talking is changed.
“I know for certain it’s you. There’s no room for hesitation when I’m facing you or it might get me killed.”
Ado whistles, “You really are a merciless person just like the rumor says.”
A thin light is covering Ado’s body. Slowly, the light grows and shows an adult figure. As the light disappears, we can see the figure on it. A beast man type cat. Your usual cat girl with a bare minimum clothes of only covering her chest and her hip.
“So tell me, how did you know that he was fake?” Therion asks me with her long arrogant tone.
“Your God Item, the Perfect Role Play definitely won’t let anybody know it. His own mother did not know it but I’m certain she felt something a bit off.”
I look into Fiona as she drops on her knees. I can see she can’t take it. A mother and child bond is not something that could be erased that easily. Even if she’s feeling something a bit off, she can’t confirm it because The Perfect Role Play is a perfect item. She’ll just take it as a normal change of behavior.
“But, the God Item is not something to use for some stealth mission. Your ring which is the God Item is too flashy and will catch everyone attention. All God Items are a flashy item.”
“Hehehe, so you know it by just taking a look into this ring? But then, how did you know that this ring is a God Item? This thing is a legendary item you know. Nobody knows its shape.” She shows a wide grin in her eyes. One grim grin.
“Heh,” I let out a simple laugh. “Even if they say it’s a legendary item, it’s not even a hundred years since its creation. I even though the original twelve would have been passed it down to someone else. I never thought you’re still holding of that item even after all this time.”

“I’m impressed. You did your homework. So, you still haven’t answered my question about how you know it.”
I let out a big grin on my face. I feel so excited to see another one of the twelve God Item. “It’s simple. I made them. You people just took it from me and claim it as your own.”
I say no more and march toward her. A light is covering her body and then she transformed into an angel.
An angel is not a supernatural being in this world. They’re more like an advanced human race. Way more advanced. She becomes an angel, still in bare minimum clothes. But the clothes are made of sheet metal and the clothes that cover her hip is longer to the point of touching the floor. There are 4 pairs of light wing in her back that’s floating. She has more armor on her hand and her leg. A yellow sword on her right hand and a yellow shield in on her left hand as her weapon. She changes into a famous one word fugitive of the angel race, Evangeline.
The Perfect Role Play is something similar to the Keeper. But the difference is the image of the person and the weapon have to be perfectly matched. In other words, she can only copy a weapon that is already an identity to some people. But the only way to do it is to kill the person. and let the Perfect Role Play keep all the memories of the person. So, it means she killed Evangeline.
~Clang~
My lance sword is clashing with her sword. We trade some heavy blow each other, but both of us manage to deflect it or dodge it. I swing to side, she deflects it with her shield. She sees an opening, she thrusts with her sword but I deflect it with my shield. Our fight is evenly matched. I’ve got no opening to let out air explosion. Finally, a big blow from both of our sword make us take a few steps back.
“Heh, you’re good. I never thought there’s someone who can match the technique and speed of Evangeline.” She lets out a praise for me.
Huh, that’s because I was the one who taught all those moves to Evangeline in the first place. Of course, I could match it. But, if I’m not using Blood transformation and Speed of Wind there’s no way I could follow all of her movement. With our movement, the guards can’t even attack her.
“Where’s my little boy? Where is he?” Fiona interrupts our fight.
I look into her and can see a river of tear is flowing.
“Oh, you mean that little child? Of course, I already killed him. It’s the only way for me to take his role after all. I can still hear his scream and as he called ‘mommy, daddy, please help me’. Hahaha. I really enjoyed it when I killed him slowly. He showed me a priceless face.” Therion answers her with a jubilant voice.
I take another stance and prepare to attack.
“Oh, and for your information, I already let the King knew this place and the date of the attack.”
Shit, just as I thought. The attack has been expected by the government. It means the success rate of the attack is becoming worse, and it just a matter of time before the government army attacks this place.
“Bad news, the army is coming this way and they will be coming in less than an hour!” A man is coming from the outside and scream to us the bad news.
I take a deep breath and let out a loud voice. “Guards, evacuate everybody into the center of the city and put some magic wall and fire at the border! Reis, you take Fiona and Erfia to a safe place! DO IT NOW!”
Once I finish my order, everybody runs outside in hurry. Therion is not moving a single step and just watching them as they leave.
“It’s futile. All the main rebellion army are on the capital. Even if somehow they win, they won’t make it in time to come back, and their number would be lot less than before. This city and everyone in it is destined to be destroyed.”
She really full of herself. Even without she’s telling all of that, I already know about it. But yet she tells it to point it out.
“And you, are you planning to keep me accompany? Do you think you could do it? What’s the best of two words nobody like you, Mada the Black Dealer, against me one word hero?”
Yes, when I’m using the identity of Mada Jeian of the Vorks I’m only got two words nobody title. Apparently, she’s thinking I’m not capable of it.
“Well, you should know that two words title is the best title a nobody could get. So, it is possible that actually I’m standing on the same level as you.”
“Yeah, that’s possible.” She smirks a little. I can see she’s not fully believe me.
“Well, maybe this will change your mind.” I raise my right hand and show her my ring. “With Evangeline eyes, you should be able to see the ring in my pinky finger right? You should know this ring.”
She’s focusing on my hand and then after that, her eyes are wide open. I can see she can’t fully believe it.
“If you still can’t believe it, then let me show you some demo.”
As nobody is left in this building, I could use the Keeper without worrying somebody unveils my real identity. I let the space in my right hand distorted just to show it to her.
“How is it? You like it?” I try to put some pressure on her. But it seems it’s not working at all.
“Ohh, that’s great. If you got the Keeper, then it means we really are standing on the same level.” Therion let out an excited voice. “Tell me, what’s your one word fugitive title?”
“My one word fugitive title is Raider. I’m Mada the Raider.”

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)
