Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 213: Memories Of Mercenaries

The streets became chaotic. Every dark elf was forcefully brought to the Guild office to find the culprit under disguise. But, even after extensive searching, Hegerus could not be found.

When all sorts of commotion were happening on the streets, the mastermind behind framing the dark elf, Lee, was peacefully eating a slice of deep roasted pork rib. Looking through the window, he can see cultivators roaming around with extra caution.

[That was a good move. Now Hegerus is a well-known criminal.]

But Lee was not happy or his face did not show any luster. He was wondering where Gauthama might have disappeared to. D scanned the entire city, and his energy signature could not be found.

=====

2 PM.

32655 Essence harvested.

=====

It was then that Lee remembered something very important. He was surprised to realise that not even D did not mention that topic. His astonishment and exclamation resonated inside and the two souls in his head became silent.

D, find a place where I can assimilate with the Law fragment of Lightning and the Thunder.'

[Oh shoot! How did I forget about that thing.]

'Open Map.'

Lee opened the Map and saw the cultivators searching for anyone who is a dark elf far and wide. Thus everywhere around the city, in a distance of 3 kilometres, was under constant surveillance.

[Let us go back to the academy. The indoor arena has some serious defense mechanisms and energy suppression runes on the inside. I suggest you try the assimilation in there.]

Both Lee and D nodded at Hudson's suggestion. Using the Map, Lee further found out that the interior lining of the arena is with some durable metal, which will definitely help in concealing the energy of lightning to the insides of the stadium.

'Then let us assimilate at night.'

[No. I would not suggest that. Darkness would highlight the presence of lightning inside the stadium. So do it in the daylight, when there is no one in the stadium.]

'Makes sense.'

---

After paying for the food, Lee exited the restaurant. Remembering something, he quickly slid into the nearest and darkest alleyway.

[What is it boy?]

'Open Workshop.'

The blank screen opened and Lee opened the Foresight skill in it. He quickly removed the mini-map from the corner, instead placed the Map as a watermark background. Lee felt much more comfortable with this new setup, and it cost very little.

'Tubians are very powerful. They can detect detection skills. So I need something that detects them without detecting them.'

The next addition cost 44,000 Essence. What Lee fed in the Workshop was a simple command to detect Tubians without making them alert or counter the detection. It was quite difficult, but Workshop fulfilled his command. The secrets of Workshop were unknown to Lee.

'Locate Tubians.'

Upon uttering the keyword, the Map zoomed out and the whole planet was visible like a basketball. The next instant, several small dots began to appear on the globe. Below the globe, a number came appearing and D exclaimed.

[777 Tubians?!]

Before D made any further ruckus, Lee closed the Map in relief. In the globe, there was no Tubian in a 50 mile distance of the Piscerent city. The possibility of Hegerus lurking around was thus discarded and Lee asked D-

'The beacons on the two mercenaries, they are active, right?'

[Yes, they are.]

'Show me.'

In the background of the Foresight, the Map appeared. It was faint and barely perceivable, and was adjustable to the host's will.

The beacons were blinking very slowly, and that indicated that the targets also were moving slowly. But the next second, the blink frequency increased by four times, and the movement of the mercenaries became more quick.

Slightly zooming out, Lee got the gist of the situation. Those mercenaries were following someone, and were quickly closing in the distance.

Like a flash of light, Lee leaped upward and reached the rooftop of the nearest building. Looking around, he saw two beacons moving towards him.

'Light affinity and Flight activate.'

Lee disappeared the very instant, and a gust of wind shot forward. The people on the streets heard a sonic boom, but could not tell what that was. Within an instant, Lee had flown over a distance of 3 kilometres and reached very close to the mercenaries.

His arms extended forward, and his palms caught the two mercenaries by their necks. The duo was stunned and the next second, was raised into the air. The Light element attributed to Mana covered them too, and they suddenly became invisible to the eyes.

Voice failed to escape their throats as they can tell that a very powerful force has grabbed them by their neck. After futile attempts of escape, their hands became sloppy. Due to the strong grip on their necks, the lack of air made them faint.

[Lee, they have fainted from lack of oxygen. Let us descend and extract some useful information from them.]

From the height of about 12 kilometres, Lee did a nose dive. A thick envelope of air had surrounded him and he was unscathed from the extreme descent.

Lee safely stepped on a rooftop after an intense maneuver. The Light and Wind affinity were deactivated, and he placed the two mercenaries on the rooftop.

The elf and beastfolk did not have any distinct physical features, except for their slightly larger build. Their clothings made of black linen was attractive and gave them enough space for mobility, while sticking to their skin. It was while inspecting their body, that Lee came to realise their gender. They were both female!

'Okay. No more searching. Activate Telepathy.'

With the activation of the mind surveying skill, Lee saw the memories of these two women, and every single detail they know of the mercenary gang. Almost every information they had was related to cold blooded murder and personnel hunting. But then, there was a particular set of memories that attracted him.
