Endless Winter's
Chapter 4: The Offer From Darkness
Long story short, the reincarnators were able to return to the kingdom safely.
"Ah... Aris, are you going to enter the kingdom in that form?" Ask Akemi who is always nervous.
"As time goes by, my skin will regenerate, so you guys come in and I'll wait for you guys at the gate here." Advice from Aris.
"Oh okay. It won't be long!"
A few hours have passed...
"Finally my skin has completely recovered, but until when am I naked like this? They're a long time! What makes it long?" Complain Aris.
This time the only return is Akemi with two strangers, male and female.
"What makes you so long?" Asked Aris by folding both his hands.
"Ah.. anu..."
Akemi nervously faints with a nosebleed after seeing Aris naked.
"You're thinking of the machine?" Aris asked Akemi who had fainted.
"Oh what do you have to do with me? And since when does your woman have clothes and katana that are exactly what I have? Is that really mine?" Aris said by pointing towards the woman.
"Have you said that, of course it's mine! I bought it with my hard-earned money!" The woman insisted on claiming ownership of the item.
"Keep who are you? Aren't you ashamed to be naked outside like this?" Ask the man who seems to be Cleive.
"I'm Aris! And who is he? Let me put a stash on the body with his name!"
"Eh... Yes aris? I'm Violetta, one of the greatest assassins in the kingdom. If you want these clothes, then step over my corpse!"
"By pleasure!" Said Aris who was preparing to duck down to put up his horses.
Violetta also pulled the katana from her scabbard, and prepared for a duel.
"Originally you know, your purple hair color collided with that dress pattern!" Aris Ejek.
"What...! How dare you!" Violetta fires a beard.
Immediately, Violetta exerted her ability to look fast to confuse Aris.
"How's ha? How could you possibly catch me at this speed?" Violetta said arrogantly.
Aris just stayed in place while waiting for the right moment to strike back.
After jumping hundreds of times to and fro at high speed, Violetta took a swing from a tree and attacked Aris from behind.
*Braaaa....!!!!!
Violetta was directly hit to the ground with great ease. Not stopping there, Violetta was strangled by the neck and lifted as high as possible.
While his left hand strangled Violetta's neck, his right hand held Violetta's hand which held the katana.
"Akh-akh-akh! Lep-wick me! Please!" Violetta tried to speak.
"I have a new trick for you!"
Aris' right hand squeezed tightly until the sound of a broken bone was heard. Sure enough, Violetta's left hand broke and dropped the katana she was holding.
Shouting hysterically from the intense pain, did not make Aris satisfied just like that. The next trick is to have her hand gripped, then she hugged Violetta's body gently, as soft as heaven.
Violetta was confused, why did she even get a warm hug. Some days he realized something was strange.
"It's not over yet, Violetta the greatest Assassin!!"
"Huh...?"
Suddenly the warm embrace turned into a hellish embrace he had never felt before.
*...!!!
"Aaaargggghhhh!"
There was the sound of a broken spine and the cry of Violetta's pain.
Aris continued by shutting Violetta's mouth so that no one would hear her scream. Aris ends it by turning Violetta's head 180 degrees, and becomes the end of Violetta's greatest assassin.
While Cleive saw the sadistic scene it started to get scared and wanted to run as fast as it could.
"You.... The monster!!!! Aaaaah!"
*Jleeeeee....!!!
Cleive did not realize that the katana was already stuck in his chest.
Coughing bloodily and his vision began to blur, Cleive was following the departure of his lover, Violetta.
"It turns out my accuracy is still strong." Said Aris while putting her clothes back on.
"Where am I now?" With ease Aris said that.
A luxurious room was like a royal palace, but there were no humans, but only a pile of unused thread puppets were towering up and ruining the scene.
A tall and slender person wearing strange and covered clothes was sitting on a very large throne and was about 5 meters tall.
From the beginning of setting foot in this world, Aris assumed that all this was just a simulation.
He also asked the entity that was in front of him.
"Have you been calling me all this time?"
The tall figure stood up...
"If that's true, would you dare threaten me to return to your home world?" The tall black figure raised his head.
"No, it's just that I want to know who called me just to defeat the demon lord."
"Oh well, it's not polite to talk long enough but not to know each other. I'm Marianette, can call me Maria." Said Mary sitting back on her throne.
"It's good to meet you, Maria! My name is AR-15, or Aris for my calling. You must know everything about me!"
"Are you sure that the demon lord is the key to all this?" Ask Maria.
"I think it's more than defeating the demon lord it takes to get out of this world." Replied Aris who was holding her chin.
"You understand, apparently, my purpose in calling you here is to make a once-in-a-lifetime offer."
"What would you offer a machine like me?" Ask Aris.
Mary stood up and began to walk closer to Aris.
"Join me if you no longer trust humans. If you accept this, then I could have sent you back to your home world and given you a proper refuge."
Aris still doubted the offer Maria gave.
"..." - ".Aris thought for a moment.
"Hows it? The opportunity will not come twice! Gradually, your identity will be revealed if you are still on the human side. You must understand what it's like to be a fugitive, right?" Maria began to persuade with her delinquence.
"..." - ".Aris can't take it yet.
"And who would you hang if you were in danger? You're not gonna say you work alone?"
After thinking long enough...
"Alright fine! I accept your offer! Are there certain conditions?"
"Nothing! My goal is only to recruit people who will cooperate with us!" Answer Maria.
"Huh? We?" Aris was wondering.
Suddenly a dimensional portal appeared...
"uh? Sorry for the delay! There was a little problem." Say someone masked in a skull with clothes like a Samurai.
Followed by two women behind him. The first one looks like a witch yet opens up and carries a grimoire.
And the other one had pale-skinned pointed ears, wearing a mask and a robe, not forgetting the pointy hat of a witch.
"Is that what you mean 'we'?" Tanya Aris showed 3 people just now.
"Oh right, they're the ones I've recruited."
"You must be a new member here, right? My introduction is the Gravestone Demon. It's nice to meet you!" Said the man in the skull mask while shaking Aris' hand.
"If I were Blood Shaman. I'm an astrologer and healer." The introduction of a sexy masked woman in the shape of a strange symbol.
"Just ignore the words! He's just a bodong shaman. My name is Warrance, The Last True Vampire. Please cooperate!" Say the woman who wears a robe and a mask that covers half her face.
"Ahaha... It's good to see you all! I'm an AR-15 robot, called Aris! Please cooperate!"
"They are so friendly! I'm quite happy to see it." Inner Aris with a happy smile.
