《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 31: Hellish Meeting
Advertisement
Few minutes would pass by when Yasuline and the White Reaper finally reached the spot they needed to be where the voices of grunts and murmurs would be the most clearest. Being careful, they would get to the edge of the bridge to look underneath them. A second bridge was under them that went parallel with theirs. And below them even further was a strange sight. It looked to be a small area outside form the normal bridges and pathways that it was a circular pillar that had just enough room to allow a batch of people together. Yasuline would measure the area this way seeing as there were tons of people all among themselves hold up in that strange spot. They didn't resemble the adventurers she saw down at the tavern, except for that one mage-looking individual who started the whole treasure hunt. They weren't as slim as he was, but they all bore hoods over their heads, making it harder to see what they really looked like. Thankfully, a few of them were casting some kind of lantern fire in their hands to allow themselves and Yasu to see them all.
"What's the process on...and gathering the adventurers?" One of them heard, his voice lowered down in the middle, making it harder for her to properly hear within the echoes. His voice appeared cold and calculating.
"It's going smoothly. Not unlike our first attack." Another one in a wheezing-like voice responded.
"Ha! That's only because we are actually competent, not like those foolish twins." A third added as he juggled a flame between his two hands.
I warned.... so many times to not entrust such an important task to them! Just because they are the lovers of two of our best ones means nothing skill! They were too blinded by their...!" A fourth joined in, extremely mad as his voice rumbled and was more of a screech than actually talking.

"Tell me about it. Now if I was with one of them, I'd be set for life!"
Yasuline would stick her head out more to get a better view of the group and to hear them better than the echoes. The White Reaper would hold onto her by the collar of her top to ensure she wouldn't fall over. "They're not with the adventurers. Wonder who this group is. They seem suspicious to me. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I just know it. Does that make me a bad person for assuming that?" The White Reaper shakes his head and also leans out to spy on the group.
"Do we really have to wait down here? It reminds me of our base. I only took this stupid mission just to get some air that doesn't reek like..."
"Selfish as always. You do know what we gain by completing this mission, right?"
"What!? There are actual benefits to completing this stupid job!?
"You too? Has no one been thoroughly briefed about all of this!?"
Many of them grumbled, likely all saying no to some degree. This would get some of them to laugh and mock one another. Eventually, the playful gestures end when the one who looks to be the more responsible one holds his hand up. A flame orb would appear and fall to the ground. It would spread all over the floor and disperses as it continues to widen and fall over the ledges. It didn't seem to bother any of them, but they quieted down and looked at the person's direction.
"Alright, we have some time left, and likely knowing everything about this mission would get you all to actually take it seriously and give it your 100%.
"Before our mishap a few nights ago, we were tasked to invading the castle and replace everyone there with our own members. Mainly the guards, and eventually through natural means, we gain some numbers and soon take control of this entire land. And before anyone could realize it, we would have implants in other regions and invade the world before anyone stops us."

The others would nod at one another, looking to be approving with this method.
"But, things didn't go according to plan, but our leader... knew exactly what to do. And now has a new way to get us back on track. So ..."
At this point, the person's tone would shift drastically. Yasuline tries to make out what the words he was saying, but could only make out the words "Enchant" from his vocal sounds.
"Uh, what's with this guy. He needs to talk normally. How else am I going to hear what he is saying! I bet the people in the back there even have as much trouble hearing what he is saying like we are."
As if to contradict her. On cue, the group would cheer loudly once the person had finished what he needed to say.
"Hell yeah! Now that sounds like the easiest job ever!" One shouted and continued to cheer.
"No one could possibly be able to predict that. They'll all be sitting ducks." Another shouted happily with such malicious intent in his tone.
Hearing them react to such important detail was annoying Yasuline. "They should repeat the plan if its so cool." She says in a huff. But the people in the cloaks would still be celebrating and have their own merry time.
"And with the Adventurers all down here looking for some fake treasure, they might just be lost and we'll have no trouble overtaking the capital too!"
"The rise of Hellfire will be glorious. And the flag of Lumines will burn nicely under our feet."
Yasuline would let out a loud gasp as she hears such sacrilege claim. And it occurred at a bad moment when the talking was just dying down.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounded like a woman. I should know.
"You don't know anything, but for once, you're right."
They all began to look around themselves. Some threw their fire orbs into the open air to light up more of the Labyrinth to make their search that much easier. One of them quicker summoned one and threw it up in the air. Yasu's reaction was slow, but the White Reaper was not. He would yank on her top to pull her out of the way of the orb before it could strike her in the face. "Woah!"
"Up there!" One of them shouted from below. They could hear some heavy footsteps and a few repeated footsteps, indication that some began to run down the bridge, but..
Again, the White Reaper would grab onto Yasu and pulls her out of the way. Two of the hooded beings have jumped up from the bridge below and has climbed up to them. With the fire orb still around, Yasuline could finally see the beings as close as possible. That was when she noticed the single emblem on their hoods. The flame symbol of Hellfire.
