Chapter 6: Opening the Ste Box

  Lucas tried his best to appear harmless.

  The guard, however, remained on high alert.

  It was unusual for ao be alo the ste district at night. After all, this was the Seawall District, and attractive female elves were highly sought after.

  "Captain Ron is already resting. If you o see him, please e back during the day."

  Lucas k was inappropriate to seek out Ron this te, but he had to meet with the Seawall Distritelligence Bureau ior tomorrow, followed by introdus to his future subordinates.

  He wouldn't have time to e back.

  "Sir, I have somethiremely important stored with Ron. I must retrieve it tonight. Please take me to him!"

  The guard was unsure how to hahis.

  People w in the harbor area often had some es with smuggling. At the moment, Ron wasn't sleeping but was in the warehouse making a delivery to a er.

  Could this elf be here to piething up too?

  But why hadn't Roio?

  Uo make a decision, the guard decided to inform Ron a him decide whether to see the elf.

  "Wait here. I'll go ask Captain Ron."

  The guard retreated into the gatehouse, woke up his colleague, and then ran towards the depths of the warehouse.

  Lucas waited patiently outside the warehouse gate.

  At level 60, he had time to waste here.

  After about fifteen minutes, Ron emerged with over ten warehouse guards.

  Ron was rotund, with a rge belly and short legs, moving like a wobbling mound of flesh.

  His right eye had been modified into a retractable, adjustable-focus lens.

  A b was sheathed at his belt, and his left hand was ically rge, likely due to some extraordinary ability.

  Among the guards, only three appeared to be normal humans; the rest had various modifications to their bodies.

  Ron waddled up to Lucas, his right-eye lens whirring as it zoomed in and out, examining the exquisite female elf before him.

  The guards encircled Lucas. Ron's face was full of lust as he looked at the elf.

  "Little elf, I heard you were looking for me? And you said you have something stored with me..." Ron stepped closer to Lucas, his rge belly advang like a wall.

  Realizing the malevolent i, Lucas quietly activated his skills.

  A cool breeze began to blow, and uhe influence of the Star's Seat, the surrounding humidity increased.

  Lucas backed away as Ron advanced, still hoping for a peaceful resolution. "Open my ste box."

  No response...

  Ro moving forward, thrilled by the elf's helplessness.

  "What did you say? Little elf... 't you remember what you stored with me?"

  Light rain began to fall from the sky.

  Being coastal, night rains were on, so no oiced the peculiarity of this rain. All attention was focused on the elf.

  She was so beautiful, it seemed as if she did not belong to this world.

  Fag Ron's aggressive approach, Lucas tio back away cautiously and said, "I he Spine of the White Dragon, Mistflower Crystal, Navirin Tears, Beyondwood, Moonflower ar..."

  Ron chuckled and said, "Oh yes, I have those. They're all in my room. e with me, and I'll get them for you."

  At this moment, a person nimbly jumped down from a higher spot aed to Ron, "Captain! There's no one around, just her."

  Ron's smile grew even wider.

  Lucas was now certain that the warehouse funality was definitely not w.

  "Captain Ron, it seems I was mistaken. You all go back to rest. Sorry for the disturbance..."

  Since his returning subordinate reported no ambushes, Ron dropped the act.

  The fat on his face twisted into a sinister smile.

  "Little elf, you must have lost your way and your mind. Do you really think I would have those items here? If I had those, do you think I'd still be watg over a warehouse? Be a good girl and e with me. I'll find you a wealthy o be your master."

  ...

  Ron stopped in his tracks as he saw the elf draw two curved bdes from behind his waist, adopting a bat stance.

  Brandishing his ons, Lucas, much smaller in stature pared to Ron, said, "Ron, this is a misuanding. I don't think you want to see bloodshed tonight."

  Ron realized that the elf before him might not be as simple as he had initially thought.

  But he was relut to let him go.

  Su exquisite elf would surely be adored by the nobles, fetg a sky-high price.

  "This indeed is a misuanding. I was just joking with you." Ron began to back away slowly, signaling his subordinates with his oversized left hand hidden behind his back, while soothingly speaking to the elf, "I was just ed for your safety, as Seawall District be quite dangerous at night. I sincerely invite you to rest in our warehouse and leave when daylight es."

  "No need..."

  Before Lucas could finish, Ron swung his massive hidden fist forward.

  The giant punch dispersed raindrops, sending a fierce force towards Lucas.

  Simultaneously, his other hand drew the b from his belt and hurled it. The b traced an arc as it flew towards Lucas.

  The other warehouse guards, upon receiving the signal, rushed forward, trying to capture the exquisite elf in one fell swoop.

  At this moment, tless misty frost flowers appeared out of thin air, blooming one by one in the air.

  The temperature dropped sharply with the appearance of the frost flowers, turning the falling raindrops into ice crystals. The rain-soaked ground froze instantly.

  The guards' clothes stiffened with frost, their shoes glued to the icy ground.

  Their movements grew stiff due to the ig their bodies, their breath densing into clouds of white mist.

  Seeing Ron's disgusting expression earlier, Lucas knew a fight was iable and had already activated Ice Dance Garden.

  Coupled with the dampness and rain from Aquarius, Ice Dance Garden produced a domineering freezing effect.

  Lucas sidestepped to evade Ron's punch, slig the flying b in half with one of his bdes.

  He then slid forward, quickly reag a guard's side, and sshed open his throat. The hot blood sprayed out, instantly freezing into blood-colored icicles mid-air.

  The wound froze over quickly, and the guard remained in his stance, waiting for his life to end.

  The temperature tio plummet, and the lower-ranked guards, soaked through, couldn't withstand the intense cold.

  Even those with slightly higher strength could barely tolerate the freezing, their movements slowed drastically.

  {A/N: I am writing this, to rectify a fusion that might arise in future. The thing is, the game character Lucas pys is female. But the soul of that character is dormant, thats why lucas temporarily share his sciouso trol the body.

  And from authors pov, i will mention the character name as Lucas (male). Others will see the elf as female and will address her with female honorifics. I know the omnist readers will uand it after reading the chapter, but i am just mentioning this in case someone is fused. Thanks fiving this novel a ce.}
