《Rivalry I Live for》Chapter 23. It's a trap!

“...”
“How the hell am I getting down? I mean, sure if I was alone but… Not with this pretty lady…”
“Master you can do it!”
“I want to use your powers but… No way, people would notice…”
That sleeping guy… I feel sorry for you, the moment the others soldiers get up here, you are probably fired…
Tightening the rope around my waist with the girl pressing my manly breast softly, I hooked the other end to the wall as I climbed down. Sadly… I had my guard armor on… I cried inside of me.
Now outside of the palace’s walls I checked the vicinity as I held the Fiona like a princess… Equipping my real armour because it was mostly jet black, I had hoped that it would help me camouflage myself with the shadows. Well… why did I even bother though, this elegant dress would hardly be missable…
Hmmm… The real Fiona said that I should meet her back at the base… But why does it have to be so far… And why is no one else helping me! So many questions! That’s it… I am gonna nag her down!
“Master, it is best that you start runnin!”
“Uh, right!”
Sprinting toward the town with flickering lights illuminating the darkness from each household. I could see the full moon shine brightly as I made my way past the town square that had a fountain with fresh water coming out of it. Luckily the citizens were inside the houses, either sleeping tightly or doing whatever they want to do… Meanwhile the soldiers was searching in the palace relentlessly and the players ignored me, thinking that it was just some ordinary quest.
As I ran past the fountain, I couldn’t resist the urge to take a drink to clench my thirst. Looking at the clear water that reflected myself, a big guy from the asiatic regions as the black moon reflected brightly on the water… I held my hands out into the wet and cold liquid… Huh? Black moon? Wait a minute… This water is pitch black?! What’s going on?! Urgh, is that an old hand?!
A sudden hand scattered the water everywhere,grabbed my scarf, pulling me inside together with the sleeping beauty and Diamond. Trying hard to take a breath as the cold and wet black liquid took over my body, I stuck my head out of the water after a hard swim. What the heck? Ah shit sleeping beauty!
“Diamond wait here!”
Diving back into the black water, I opened my eyes, searching for Fiona. The water stung my eyes, tingled my body as if something tried to feel my body or drag me to the depth of hell. Ah there she is! Grabbing the soft hands of the woman that floated lifelessly in the depth of the water, I pulled her out.

Strong inhale… Pant, pant, pant… As I got out of the water, scattering it everywhere.
Phew…
Pulling myself out of the fountain, drenched in water, I placed my wet cheek on her breast, checked the pulse of the icy cold body turning the sand around her black… Doki, doki, doki… Good, she is alive and breathing
Picking her up, I looked up at the black moon surrounded by the bloody red sky… Oh shit, isn’t this another dimension? Tch… I can’t get back either…. Or I wouldn’t be here a second time after diving into the water...
The once lively town were now deserted, no life, no players, filled with broken houses and illuminated by the black moon. Picking up the girl like a princess, dark magic circles started to appear around the black fountain. Black portals opened above them, releasing a eerie darkness towards me.
… It’s a trap!... Meh, I am not gonna stand around here and watch… I’ll take my leave instead.
Turning around with the girl on my shoulder now, I ran with the wind towards the exit of the town. Creating a trail of smoke as I did.
Soldiers? Damn, I have to get past the gate somehow… If I would have known that it would be a woman that I was picking up, I surely would have planned something good beforehand...
Sigh… I’ll try the grappling hoo...
“KEKEKEKEKE!”
Huh? Who’s laughing so bad?
Taking a quick step into a corner behind a broken house, I stuck my head out to fill my curiosity.
Oh shit.. Isn’t that Succubuses? If they catch me… Who knows what I would do to the twin Fiona… Not only that, no way I can use the slow method now...
“Diamond”
“Roger!”
As Diamond pierced the dark air with her anti air ice bolts barrage gatling gun 1337, I could taste the stench of love, as the creatures flew closer while releasing their toxic pollen. Never in my life would I have thought that love potions would threaten my quest. I picked up pace, shivering and hoping that Diamond could release me from the spell if I do get hit.

“Master they are too many!” She said with tears wetting my cheek.
“You are doing a good job! Don’t give up!”
“But I can’t!”
… Looks like I will have to use my ultimate attack!
“I treat you to cookies!”
“COOKIES!”
Her aim got better… Never underestimate the power of treats… Damn… my gold… They cost a lot in this game… Damn players… Never should have let them feed her.

Pant… pant… pant…
In my whole life, this must be the first time I have ran this far… Shit, damn salty sweat!

As I hid around a corner near a house within the darkness, I wiped the steamy sweat with the leather part of the gauntlet. Luckily, the succubuses got annihilated by diamond. Either way I need to pass the guards somehow...
Hah… Lets take a break…
Sitting down with my back touching the cold sand wall, I stared upon the features of the sleeping beauty… Wait, what is that trembling noise? ...It’s coming closer.
“SLASH!”
A strong breeze flew right above my hair, slashing the wall of the house into pieces together with a few straw of my black hair, as the crumbles stone fell on to my broad back, while I gladly protected the beauty with my body. Holy shit, that was to close… If I hadn’t taken a seat when I did… I would have been banana split!
Turning around with the sleeping beauty, I saw a death knight…
“... See ya!”
Picking up speed in haste, I ran towards the gate. “HELP! A MONSTER IS OUT FOR MY WIFE! OPEN THE GATES!”
“Huh?! Have no fear citizen, we will do as you ask!” The soldier said, unsheathing his sword with those beside him and charged towards the Death Knight…. Or so I thought…
“Hey! Why are you attack me?!”
“Huh? The freaking Death Knight can talk!” One of the soldier said, whilst trying to stab me as I ran to another direction
“Do I look like a freaking giant to you guys?”
“Hell yeah, look at those black armor and the big body of yours! Fits the description of Death Knight totally!”
“...”
Turning my head around as I ran the other way along the wall, I noticed that the Death Knight and the soldiers was working together… It wasn’t that they were dumb… They turned into skeletons! It was a trap all along!
“Diamond, we are taking the long route!”
“Huh?”
“Create a staircase for me!”
“Roger, [Ice Path]!”
A staircase made out of ice appeared at front of me, building itself towards the sky. Climbing the stairs that screamed freedom while being chased from the soldiers and the lone Death Knight. I got halfway up until I started to hear a weird cracking noise from behind… They were chipping away the staircase with their swords...
Shit… UAAAHA!
As the staircase fell like a tree, I jumped to the closest roof of a building, securing my safety together with the girl as the icy staircase shattered into millions of pieces.
Phew… Well nothing hurts using it again…
“Diamond, another”
“[Ice Path]”
But the once clad in armor quickly retaliated with fire arrows shot towards the base of the staircase…
Damn… Nerf these skeletons...
I placed the girl on the roof gently and jumped out of the edge of the roof, landing on the half sandy and stony road.
“Diamond, protect the lady”
“Roger!”
[Cold Air]
Axe come forth!
Raising the axe above my head, I threw it against the incoming skeletons as I ran around the buildings kiting the mobs, hoping that they wouldn’t target the doppelganger while I did.

“Ice shield!”
A large blade shattered my ice shield into pieces, scattering everywhere and onto my scarf that protected me.
“Axe!”
Using my immense strength, I went for a knockdown combo, by aiming the axe to the brittle legs of the death knight, or rather a skeleton clad in heavy armor.
Shattering the leg into pieces, the death knight fell onto the road with a “clank”, taking my chance I went for the critical hits on the back as it tried to get up.
1500 EXP gainedExp:
[Cold Air] Off
“Diamond!” I shouted.
“Coming!” she said, using ice magic to push the sleeping beauty towards my arms.
Nice… Though, not a good time to celebrate.
Standing there with the girl, the ground started to be covered by shadowy black holes, eating away the ground as tons of skeleton hands tried to climb up… Ah shit, there is to many! I need to get out of here… How?! Tch… Fountain.
“Diamond get back inside my scarf” I said, running back to the fountain in search for the last hope. Creating another trail of smoke.
“Right!”
Now at front of the fountain as the horde of skeletons charged towards me, I tried to search for the method of how I got here.
Okay… Last time I dived inside, nothing changed… There is a requirement… I looked at the sky first… Tried to drink the water as I looked at my own reflection, turning the white full moon into pitch black… I could then see a ugly hand…
URHG! The hand once again grabbed my scarf, pulling me into the water. Surrounded by a sea of clear water with a light shining brightly from the sky, I swam toward the surface with the sleeping beauty.
Strong inhale… Pant, pant, pant… As I got out of the water, scattering it everywhere.
“FREEZE” Someone said, as the sun covered my vision and the cold feeling of a blade touching my neck.
“...”
“Get out enemy of the crown!!” The guard said, as the other covered my neck with swords.
“Right…” How the hell did they know I was in here… I am starting to think that the urge to drink the water wasn't mine either...
Good luck in jail
… Luckily I used my PK scroll instead of the corruption potion I left at the base...
