Chapter 52: Betrayed
As soon as everybody turned their heads in unison. A man in his mid-twenties entered their views accompanied by three people by his side. Cinzia's face contoured and Eshwar's facial reaction was just the same. Varde was sweating heavily and Dalia had an expression that showed distress.
The man in the entrance of the temple had a muscular body and his pupils were reminiscent of ruby crystal and his hair was ash brown in color with a dreadlock style. His skin tone resembled golden oak wood with a little tan.
He just stood there with a great sword on his shoulder which seemed dull and corroded. The pressure and killing intent he was emitting was nothing Nix has ever faced before. One thing is for sure Cinzia and Silver spear clan members seem to share an unknown past with this man.
All the others readily gripped their weapons to jump into battle except Nix since he wasn't able to understand anything but, he didn't take his eyes or bat his eye for even a second.
Suddenly at that moment, he swiftly dashed from there and they were not even able to react to him.
A voice struck their ears from their back.
"Haha, Varde good job on reporting the location!"
They hurriedly shifted their eyes behind them and found the man who had his arm wrapped around Varde's neck.
'What the hell was that? Did he just get teleported or his agility that superior?'
Feroz Khan with whom he had battled in the Saragame forest was exactly or more or less equal to this guy's speed. Nix decided to not put his guard down.

Swiftly the man moved again. Nix pushed Cinzia down. Everyone looked at Nix with a dumbstruck expression and the man with dreadlocks grinned. His sword was in the direction where Cinzia stood.
He laughed and remarked.
"Hahaha, hmm... Nice! Quite a reflex you got there. Although these pushovers couldn't predict that you predicted it cool."
He didn't want to hear his praise but, everyone saw Nix in a new light. He stared at the man intently to check his information.

Nix grew anxious because this guy before him is second in command for Zerast and the stats gave a devastating blow to Nix's idea of taking him down with Cinzia. Even his stats were all superior to Feroz khan. He had trouble fighting with him but this guy here is too much for him to handle right now.
The others who came along with him were just small fries and they were all just level three. If he joins hands with Cinzia he could take them down, but the problem is about handling this guy Razik more importantly a guy who talks with his sugar-coated tongue is with them, a healer who plays a major role in supporting. It was clear that he betrayed them.
For every ten stat points, the power raises drastically, if the strength is at ten and the opponent's stat is at twenty the difference between them is so vast, and rivaling the opponent is troublesome. so, he is into massive trouble again.
"Alright, Everyoneeee! I need you all to be good kids since I am a Nice guy I am letting you all live. Just drop the loot and leave the temple," Razik said cooly.
Cinzia fumed in anger.
"Razik, We didn't get in Zerast's way now, did we? and we have suffered a lot... I don't want any more trouble just leave us alone. or...."
Razik's lips curved up.
"Or what?... haha, you and Damian are the ones that led the Silver spear clan to destruction and you think commander Fraser will let you off after you opposed us? He told us to thoroughly destroy your clan and I was the one who spared your clan and you try to build your clan's strength again? Revenge huh?"
He walked towards her and grabbed her hand.
"Cinzia I got a proposal for you and ... Just join with Zerast clan and I will take you as my concubine. We can bang all day and night and make babies and don't worry about anything. Daddy will take care of you. So what's your reply?"
She struggled to escape from his grip. Her eyes reddened as she began swinging her halberd. He dodged her thrusts hurriedly and distanced himself from her. His eyes wandered around her body like a wild dog. Cinzia would have literally felt worms squirming all around her body.
He grinned at her and said.
"Whoa-Whoa Cool down a bit! I am being nice here! You gotta control that temper of yours. I just merely told you that I will support you. Alright enough with the chit chat."
Drifted his eyes towards Dalia and Varde.
"Thanks for your cooperation Varde and Dalia, my baby gurl." And then he eyed at Dalia and gave a smile to her with one that contained malice.
Nix silently watched the scene. Dalia had a face that showed guilt and Varde's face was rather stiff and Cinzia was in anger and lastly Eshwar he was in a panic unable to comprehend that his very own little sister and comrade betrayed them.
Cinzia looked at her with a pitiful face. She was in anger but she chose to endure it and her eyes were welled up with tears.
"Why?" She asked.
" "
Dalia didn't choose to reply.
Nix didn't know what to do next but, he had his survival instincts kicking in and he was ready to do whatever within his power but unfortunately, there was nothing for him to do right now.
Nix opened his mouth.
"Alright I am surrendering my part of the share and I want to leave in one piece. I have nothing to do with this scene."
Cinzia and Eshwar looked at him in shock while Razik looked at him with a satisfied smile. He chose the right choice. A lost Money can be earned anytime but once he loses his life, It's the end. Most importantly he had to act on his revenge on Feroz khan and Ranrak city.
Nix dropped the sword in his hand and the backpack he carried and raised his hands in the air. Cinzia looked at him with pleading eyes for help and Eshwar looked at him with a face that was literally begging for help.
'Don't take me, wrong folks. I just merely joined your quest nothing more.'
He had those words on his mind but chose not to speak.
Razik signaled his underlings and the three men hurriedly walked towards Nix and one guy restrained him while the others began checked his bag.
Razik smiled at Cinzia and said.
" You got quite a guy here. He sure knows went to back down. Hmm so, what's your choice my darling."
'This is fucking cringe.'
Nix thought to himself while pinned down by the ground.
"Ahhh you fucker!" Eshwar suddenly cursed out and thrusted his spear towards Razik. The guy who was checking the bag dropped it and rushed towards Eshwar.
"Tch, I will take care of these insolent dumb asses," He stopped the guy and brandished his sword. Cinzia rushed in and joined with Eshwar. They both simultaneously attacked him but, they were rendered useless as he continued to parry all their attacks with his superiority in swordsmanship and stats.
He smiled and remarked Eshwar.
"Hmm, You've grown... but you still have a long way to go."
As the attacks began to speed up Razik's face contoured. Cinzia increased her speed and used her Ice attribute mana combined with the halberd and Eshwar used his earth attribute and used the broken floor as a shield.
"Alright, stop this now or I will kill your brother!" He said angrily to Cinzia
" "
They continued to attack him without mercy not even leaving a gap for him to breathe.
"Frizkkk"
A large barrier of Ice blocked the path on the side of Cinzia and he cursed out.
"I said fucking stop!"
And at that moment, Eshwar slashed a cut on his hand. Razik's blood boiled up.
"You are so, dead!" After that remark. His movement and attacks drastically changed. It showed that the previous fight was just a child's play compared to his movements now. It seems that he didn't take both of them seriously which led him to get injured which hurt his pride.
"Eshwar, I will take the offensive side just distract him!" Cinzia said and began to thrust her halberd and it was quite useless as He easily countered her and sent her flying.
" You will drop dead now, you son of a bitch!" He declared with his sword pointing towards Eshwar and in an instant, he just dashed towards him and brushed past him and a glimmer of yellow light flashed, and in that instant, Eshwar's body stood there without his head. Blood gushed and splattered out of his neck and his head flew and fell on the ground.
Cinzia's pupils dilated and she fell in despair. Her face showed nothing but rage and Dalia began sniping at the other guys since Eshwar died she was raged and decided to abandon the plan she made with Varde. Varde fell on his knees feeling guilty for betraying his comrades.
If Nix made the choice of joining Cinzia and Eshwar maybe they could have got the upper hand in the battle.
But, He made this choice after thinking of the other possibilities of the three other men jumping in and to battle. His decision was rational, to be honest. He already said that he won't be stepping into trouble that's far beyond his capabilities.
Suddenly the guy who restrained Nix disappeared and reappeared behind Dalia as Nix watched.
The guy sneaked behind Dalia stealthily and slit her throat as he was unable to endure her annoying arrows that kept on raining towards him since his self-defensive instincts made him do so. Varde was the one who fell into the depth of suffering as he saw Dalia falling to the ground while her lifeless eyes stared at him.
The guy who was smiling throughout the journey cried at that moment. Razik rushed before the assassin and grabbed his neck and spat on the floor.
"Fucking peasant! Did I tell you to kill her?"
"I-I-I am sorry sir..." The guy spoke stutteringly. Razik Twisted his neck without giving a second thought to it. and countered the attacks of Cinzia. Unable to endure her attacks he grabbed her leg and broke it.
"Ahhh, You Bastard!! What did we do wrong to you? We were just trying to get some money and basic safety measures for me and my clan members to survive!" She said while tears dripped down her cheeks.
" I am sorry but your brother pissed me off... Anyways I am gonna take you as my whore... I mean I am gonna make you a brainless sex slave. We got someone expert in brainwashing and hypnotism in our clan. If I let you loose you will surely come for revenge." He said and took his arm towards her shattered armor.
" "
She didn't say anything even if she said anything it would rather be useless to this vicious man. She turned her attention towards Varde who was crying with rage.
"Alright, boys that guy is yours!"
Nix knitted his brows.
'What'
The two men walked towards and one man grabbed his body while the other guy tried to remove his armor. The two men were tall with a broad muscular frame and he was able to understand what they were about to do.
"What the fuck?" He said.
They removed his upper armor and as they tried to remove his shoulder guard it produced a flame.
"Ah, Ouch what's up with that thing? Stay put and we will be gentle."
"Fucking goddamn faggots..." He muttered.
And at that moment he was very much pissed. He felt like even dying is fine at that moment and his mind was filled with rage at that second no matter what he decided to kill these two men and he ignored the Variable Razik. He went through simultaneous humiliation some things can't be just put up with. His anger was rational at that moment. Anyone would be angered.
He decided to not give a damn about this Damned world for good and chose to be cruel to those who get in his way.
On the other hand,
"Stop! Please!Please! stop! Nix please help me!"Cinzia cried out and begged for the first time.
Cinzia tried to resist and escape from Razik's clutch and cried out as he tried to remove her clothes.
Nix reshaped the Chains back to normal and began swinging it with all his might and grabbed the sword that was on the floor and gashed the men in an instant. Razik who was busy removing Cinzia's armor shifted his attention towards Nix in a stupor.
