Chapter 142 – New employer.
"Oh?"
"So, you really ARE the Doctor." – said the Shadow Mask.
"Yea, I'm." – replied Phantasia while putting on the plague doctor mask on his face.
"You have already exposed me and stuff, so just get over it."
"What do you people even want from me? Do I have to go somewhere or something as some sort of recruit proceed?" – asked Phantasia.
"Well, normally I should have bringed you with us, but- "
"Berior kingdom. You want it destroyed. Am I right?" – asked Phantasia.
"Yea."
"This kingdom doesn't really believe in heaven, it more focuses on the hell side."
"Specifically, they believe in the beast of hunt and glory Ami."
"However, the believe of these people are somewhat declined, expect the royal family."
"So here is your mission. Complete it and you shall become the member."
[You have received mission.]
[Liberate Berior kingdom from the faith.]
[The kingdom of Berior has lost its faith, but unfortunately there are still those who believe in the demonic god as well as hold a position of power in the kingdom. Those people need to get removed.]
[Kill the targets, while also making sure that the kingdom itself isn't destroyed.]
[Target: King, first prince, second prince, first princess, first queen, second queen, pope Amiorn.]
[Reward: Depends]
"The kingdom of Berior isn't really our number one priority, since the control of hell isn't very strong here, but unfortunately there are still some remains that needs to be dealt with in order to fully cleanse this kingdom out of the filthy."
"And this is also a test for you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"We will bring destruction and kill people, yes. But we also need to have some self-control and even have some control over our own people. So, this is the test to see if you can control yourself."
"…."
"Wait, control myself?" – asked Phantasia.
"You want me to kill the royal family, but also don't want to destroy the kingdom after the whole "Destroy it all" talk?"
"Then what? You want me completely stop the attacks I did as well as any other attacks I would do in the future? The same ones I did before with attacking the territories belonging to the first princess?"
"Well, we won't complain, since of all the people we don't want to inherit the throne is either first prince or the first princess." – said the Shadow Mask.
"We cannot allow them to become the next ruler at any cost."
"?"
"Why them specifically? What about the second prince?" – asked Phantasia.
"He is also a problem, but not as big as the first prince or the first princess." – replied Shadow Mask.
"Not only that, but the first prince is already trying to rebuilding the religion and enforce it through the kingdom, while the second princess herself will stand in our way."
"…."
"So let me ask you this. You are fine with any damage I done, be it genocide or mass destruction, as long as I don't went overboard and completely destroy the kingdom and as long as I kill the members of the royal family, the two dukes and the bishop?" – asked Phantasia.
"Correct." – said Shadow Mask.

"…."
"What about the religions buildings?" – asked Phantasia.
"Like the churches and stuff, should I get rid of them if possible?"
"It would be good idea if you burned them to the ground."
"…."
"Fine. I get it." – replied Phantasia.
"Any time limit?"
"Nope." – said Shadow Mask before throwing the class book to the Phantasia who catched it.
"…Understand." – said Phantasia after catching the book.
"One more thing. Please don't spread my name of "Phantasia" around. If you have to, just use the "Doctor". You can probably guess why."
"Understandable." – replied Shadow Mask.
"We will contact you later on, so just focus on your job, mister Doctor." – said Shadow Mask before shadow around starting coming to life and his entire body began sinking into them before then disappearing. After he disappeared, the shadows returned back to their original state.
"…."
[Class Book: Chaos Blacksmith] – [Rarity: Epic]
"…"
"Hm…."
[You have used [Class Book: Chaos Blacksmith].]
[You have unlocked access to a new class: [Chaos Blacksmith] – [Epic].]
"Welp."
(Things suddenly got way…. Different?) – though Phantasia while taking off his mask.
(I mean, I wasn't expecting that the random necromancer that I had killed, deceived and stole from turned out to be an part of organization that could be the main antagonist of this world and now I'm somewhat part of that organization???)
(That was…..Very sudden and stuff?)
(I mean, WTF like for real.)
(I have so many fuking questions right now.)
(One of more important ones are the question of how did he knew about my body being partially mechanical? While also having the [Unliving Heart] inside of my body.)
(Were they spying on me without realizing?)
(But then again, they could have something like X-ray vision that showed them my insides. There are magic and magical stuff, while also mechanical stuff and even guns.)
(So, something like X-ray would be really that surprising?)
(Still, the fact remains that these guys have info about me that could expose me and that is a big problem.)
(There is also the fact that the Shadow Mask answered my question with yes regarding the organization power.)
(I did warn him I would instantly quit the moment I discover that the organization in question is weak like hell and it's a scam, but he didn't really seemed bothered by it.)
(Was he telling the truth?)
(Or he want to make me to sign something first before I finds out that the organization is indeed a scam?)
(Still, the problem is the quest.)
(The quest is like a special contract, so the NPCs cannot really back out from the deal once signed.)
(THEY will have to pay me after I wreck this kingdom.)
(But again, the quest forbids me from destroying the kingdom…. For fuck sake. I was planning on completely destroying this kingdom this time.)
(….)
(Oh well, I can obviously still rob the royalties from their treasures just how I did with Agion kingdom where I broke into their vault and stole stuff.)
(But then again, he talked about control…. He wants to see if I can kill all the targets, without causing too much damage to the kingdom, ey?)
(But my original plan was to cause destruction and death for the chaos…... But now they are fuking telling me to avoid the chaos?!)
(Fuck me… This is a total turn around.)
(If the rewards depends on my control, then causing as less damage as possible will definitely secure me some nice rewards.)
(Fuck…...)
"…."
(First prince and the first princess, ey?)
(Why they are wary of them specifically?)
(He mentioned the first prince and religion, so does that mean the moment the first prince would take over, the religion order would regain strength and faith through the kingdom? If that is the case, then they will be forced to destroy the kingdom.)
(As for the first princess…. She will not stand by and root them out.)
(The king himself is slowly dying…. Oh wait, I should have asked them if that plague bear monster was their doing or not.)
(…)
(Anyway, the problem with the king is that he is dying, but I need to make sure he will be 100% dead.)
(He will be definitely guarded and they will have definitely some means against poisons and stuff, since the king is straight up poisoned. That means infecting the king with my own plague won't work.)
(….)
(Should I just blow him up or something with rocket launcher?)
(Or should I first target the heirs first?)
(But wouldn't that alarm them or something? I mean, going after one royalty after another?)
"…."
"Fuck me…... I need the time to think."
After meeting the Shadow Mask and agreeing to his proposal to join his organization, I ended up receiving a quest where the main goal is to kill all the members of the royal family as well as the pope that believes the beast god from the demonic world.
If I complete this quest, the "Doctor" will be officially member of the organization and maybe I will find out more about the organization I just joined.
Anyway, after the meeting ended, I ended up returning back to the city and obviously, I did not said anything.
Obviously, I cannot say that I had met the terrorist that wants to kill royal family and all, nor I cannot really bullshit story it by saying "I killed the assassin that send those thugs after me", since they would definitely ask too many question and stuff.
So, the people are still worried about the bandit attack that happened in the middle of the city as well as the fact that all of the bandits in question disappeared right under the city guards noses.
So, yea, things are still quiet bit chaotic in the city, but besides that, everything was fine and I continue my business.
I also raised the [Chaos Blacksmith] class level and I got to say…. Yea, this class is quite interesting from get go.
And the funny thing is, this class is only level 10 now, since I cannot raise it because of the condition to level up the [Chaos Blacksmithing] to level 2.
But still, that class was worth it and once I raise it up, I will be getting a very huge power up if everything the Shadow Mask told me is a truth.
So, yea, everything is going great.
EXPECT FOR THE FUCKING FACT THAT I NEED TO REWRITE MY ENTIRE FUKING PLAN!
….
Yea…...I think I will need to spend a lot of time about thinking about my next move by the look of things.
