[Chapter Size: 1988 Words.]Third Person POVSomewhere, Orario.

  ...

  ...

  Orario was at its climax, with all establishments running, even though it was almost midnight. After all, this was a city that hardly ever slept. However, amidst the vibrant aura of the city, a shadow cut across the sky above the houses, moving like a figure wearing a bck cloak that swayed with each step.

  He tio traverse the city, glidiween the shadows of the buildings, while most residents remained oblivious to the disturbance above their heads. Only a few adventurers of level 4 her could immediately notice the intruder's presence, but upon realizing, they simply returo their beer mugs with their groups without aowledging him.

  It didn't take long for him to find the pce he was looking for: the residence of one of the families. The location, beyond the gate guarded by two sentinels, revealed an imposing mansion, with a high wall and practically no courtyard on its property. The structure was notably rge, especially for a family with only a level 2 captain.

  The night enveloped Orario with its dark cloak, and Lucius, now armed with a new illusion spell, prepared to front the Soma Family. Like a shadow sliding through the nighttime sery, he used his newly acquired skills to ceal his presence, moving stealthily towards the rival family's hideout.

  The illusion spell didn't grant total invisibility but enveloped his body, camoufging him in the darkness of the night and making him practically invisible to others. Lucius took his first step, silently emerging in front of the gate guards.

  "Who is...?" A surprised whisper echoed before both fell immediately with precise blows to the head. Lucius grabbed them by their clothes and dragged them to a er, ensuring they wouldn't be seen from the street. With the guards out of issiourned his gaze to the imposing mansion before him.

  "Should we stealthily attack everyone or make a spectacle? Even dressed like this, the spectacle suits me better..." he murmured to himself, starting to jure lightning in his hand.

  "Lightning Spell, Thunder!" he procimed, his hand surrounded by lightning before exploding towards one of the mansion's windows. This spell, equivalent to a Fireball, might be less explosive and have less range, but it pensated with its speed arating power.

  *Thunder* *BOOM!*This immediately alerted everyone ihe mansion. Although the noise was loud, it wasn't enough to immediately draw the Ganesha family to the location.

  "What was that?!""One of the rooms exploded!""What happened?""Enemy attack?"

  Voices began to echhout the mansion, with residents trying to uand what was happening. The otion grew as adventurers started ing out of their quarters to che the i.

  Lucius quickly retreated into the shadows, blending with the darkness of the ndscape while the Soma family's small courtyard filled with members of the house.

  "What is this? Look, it seems like something was thrown from here!" excimed someone."So, it was an attack?""Where are the guards?""They're knocked out there, look, Mariz is down!""We're utack! Better stay alert!" said the captain.

  "I'm already among you..." A shadowy voice, hidden behind the illusion magic, echoed in the midst of twenty adventurers, who quickly turned with surprise to the hidden presence."Who are you?!" shouted one of the Soma family adventurers, visibly fused and ed.

  "I am Lord Sith, and the Soma Family shall suffer my wrath," Lucius replied with a ruthless voice.

  He advanced quickly, attag the first level 1 adventurer. Now with the agility of a level 4, Lucius was like a shadow, agile and deadly. The victim had no ce, being knocked out immediately. Lucius moved to the arget, and another, until four level 1 adventurers were lying on the ground. The captain tried to react, but before he could raise his on, Lucius hit him with a punch to the stomach, sending him crashing into one of the walls.

  It didn't take long for the entire courtyard to be knocked out. Lucius, using daggers as his chosen ons, showcased his agility and strength by skillfully avoiding any attacks directed at him. The se was chaotic, with Soma family members incapacitated, and Lucius, shrouded in his illusion spell, remained like a lethal shadow over them. Lucius pted his on while surrounded by fallen adventurers. "It's an iing fighting style... That's why stealth csses are well-regarded," he muttered to himself. He examihe daggers in his hands, appreciating the effectiveness of this new bat style he had adopted.

  From a distance, some adventurers still resisted, but Lucius unched lightning in their dire, eliminating any trace of resistance. His agility for melee attacks and lightning spells fed attacks formed an effit repertoire for this yle he had developed.

  "Are you still awake?" Lucius addressed the captain of the Soma Family, Zanis Lustra.

  "Who are you!? And why are you attag us?" Zanis asked, with a dazed look and a touch of fear, aware that the mysterious assaint was, at the very least, a level 4.

  "I am Lord Sith, as I've mentioned, and you've done something you shouldn't have. I'm here to correct that," Lucius stated with a calm aermined voice.

  "But let's chat a bit. I want some important information. You answer, and you won't suffer too much, how about that?" The voice echoed within the cloak, den with an undisturbed ess.

  "I asked who you are!? I have powerful tacts!" Zanis growled in response.

  "Great, that's good... It's about them that I want to talk, so let's talk!" Lucius seemed excited about the prospect.

  "What do you want... AHHHHHHH!!!" Zanis couldn't finish his sentence as he was hit by aric charge from the Lightning spell, a new ability Lucius had acquired in the past few days. The spell sent a wave of lightning across the area, hitting everyone in its path.

  'Damn, now I feel like a true Sith here, watg Zanis writhing like this. It reminds me of the se where the Emperor tortured Luke Skywalker before Anakin saved his son...' Lucius thought as he mercilessly attacked Zanis.

  "Did you feel that? I'll keep sending this electric shotil you answer my questions. I expect ho answers. You may be a level 2, but I doubt you'll survive if you keep receiving this attack tinuously," Lucius said calmly, but the threat was quite ominous ing with the voice effect of the illusion spell.

  "What do you want?!" Zanis spoke as the electrical shock ceased, truly in pain.

  "A simple question. Did you tact the Ikaros family to attack a group from the Hestia family in the duoday?" Lucius initiated.

  "I don't know what you're talking about... AHHHHHHHH!!!"

  "Well, wrong answer. Let's start again. As I said, you won't survive if you keep getting these shocks," Lucius spoke without g about the man's screams in front of him.

  "I want another answer..." Lucius tinued, keeping the pressure on Zanis."We tacted him because the Hestia family had our family's pallum!"

  "Iing, an ho answer, tinue."

  "We received a proposal from the Heimdall family to take Hestia's pallum... but we 't fight against the Hestia family. So, we tacted some of our wine ers and talked about a tamed monster with a family going to the dungeon, with a level 2 and a level 1 pallum, as we saw i few days. They handed us the pallum in exge for the information and our wine," Zanis expined as Lucius nodded.

  "Well, that makes some sense, but you put my family in danger, even ily. So, I'm going to make you feel a little for that," Lucius ented, heading towards the frightened man.

  "Wait, you said you wouldn't shock me anymore if I told the truth!"

  "Yes, I won't shock you anymore, but I 't let you go unpunished, I? Don't worry, I won't kill you, but you certainly won't be whole after plotting against the Hestia family, will you?" Lucius affirmed and approached mercilessly.Lucius broke all of the man's legs and arms as he screamed; knowing this profile, Lucius wouldn't show mercy. After finishing with him, he noticed some movement oreet; surely, his fight had already begun to attract attention, so he had to act quickly.

  Entering the mansion, Lucius used the "Detect Life" ability to find Lili. Using cirvoya wasn't hard to locate her. Lili was in her disheveled room; no effort had been spared iing her. Desperate to know what had happeo Bell-Sama, she plunged into disturbing thoughts. In the midst of these thoughts, the door opened, revealing a hooded figure entering the room.

  Lili immediately realized that this was not someone from the family and was someone quite powerful. The figure approached and stood in front of the pallum's cell, summoning lightning through the hand that immediately destroyed the lock.

  "Let's go..." The voice spoke mysteriously.

  "It's you, isn't it? Lord Lucius?" She spoke, looking suspicious.

  "What? You figured it out so quickly?" Lucius couldn't help but let out a surprised voice.

  "Lili knew immediately when you unleashed lightning. Only Lord Lucius would do something like that," she said, looking closely.

  "I guess you're right..." He said, realizing that his disguise wasn't that good.

  "Anyway, how did you get in here? Did you gh the entire family?" She said while Lucius healed her with his stro magi that category.

  "This is a small family, so it was easy to get through everyone. Now let's go; I have to see yod." He said, leading the way, and Lili followed.

  Lili and Lucius walked through corridors where there were bodies of family members lying on the floor, electrocuted, going up to the top floor of the mansion where Soma was with his wine barrels.

  "Hello, God Soma..." Lucius opehe door and saw the hairy god making wine, seemingly uned with the chaos outside this room. "Are you the one who attacked my family? And Lili, have you returned?" He spoke calmly, looking at Lili, unaware that she had returned and was trapped ihe dungeons. Apparently, the god of this family didn't seem to be very responsible for her.

  "Soma-Sama." Lili greeted.

  "Enough talk, Soma. I need you to remove Lili's falna." Lucius spoke, cutting off any other versation.

  "I do that, but only if she drinks my wine." He spoke, raising a gss, and Lili looked at it with .

  *Lightning!**Crack*Before Lili could respond or Soma could react, a lightning bolt struck the gss, making it shatter immediately. "You misuood, God Soma. I'm not here to iate... Just do what I want."

  "Why would I do that?" He said, trying to stop the pain that caught his hand, as the lightning bur a bit.

  "Because I'll do this if you don't remove the falna." Lucius said in his mysterious void utacks on the wine barrels o the room.

  *Crack!* Barrels began to be destroyed by Lucius.

  "Is this?" Soma was surprised, but even more so when Lucius shot a lightning bolt at him.

  "AHHH!!!" The god screamed in shock.

  "You 't do this!" Lili was armed by this; she never expected Lucius to do something in this manner.

  "I , and I'm doing it, Lili." Lucius said and turo a Soma on the floor with some lightning still passing through his body. "What will be your answer, God Soma, because I don't io be le..." Lucius threatened him once again.

  Having no choice, Soma nodded somewhat scared. He never imagined entering someone who would threaten his life aroy his precious wiock. So, he began the process of removing falna from Lili's back.

  "With this, we go." Lucius spoke.

  "Soma, I hope we be doh this because you wouldn't wao e back here again..." Lucius didn't refrain from speaking to Soma at this moment.

  Soma nodded, aowledging that he couldn't do much. He certainly realized that Lucius's threat was not in vain.

  "Let's go, Lili..." Lucius turned around and prepared to leave, with Lili following behind. She couldn't help but look with plicated eyes at her fod, but now she was free from this family that had caused her so much suffering before.
