Back to Alkan's City.
After completing the second part of the Slaughter quest, Alex found Elvira peacefully sleeping on the ground; her health had been restored while her curse lifted.
Currently, she was on Alex's back, sleeping without a care in the world; inside her small hands were a stack of purple flowers, probably the cure she came to seek.
Alex heaved a sigh before allocating his BP to his luck stat as he believed that luck would play an important role from now on.

Alex added the unused SP point on his Link's skill, increasing its level from 4 to 5. After doing this, Alex immediately checked his new skill, the Steel body, and the result didn't disappoint him.
[Steel body: Almost immune to all attacks as long one has mana.
Current Level: 1
Consume 50 MP per second.]
''Wow! With my current MP, I can last almost five minutes. Good, the moment I saw this ability, I wanted it, and now I have it.'' Alex mumbled. If it weren't because he was holding Elvira on his back, he would have activated the steel body a long ago, but because he felt like it might make her feel uncomfortable, he didn't do it.
A few minutes later, Alex arrived before the giant doors of the city, and as usual, it was filled with players and NPCs going in and out. Alex smiled, and when he was passing by, he deliberately raised his voice.
''Ah! So tired, the trip to Torel's mountains was sure demanding, I shall go and rest.''
Then he disappeared into the ground; Alex acted as if he was unaware that the moment he said those words, someone in the crowd trembled and soon started tailing him until he entered the Inn and delivered Elvira before going upstairs to shower and rest. After all, if he acted as if he had noticed this person tailing him, the purpose behind his last gesture would have failed; thus, Alex did nothing and smiled; it's time to lure one of the snakes out of its hiding.
•••••
At the same time, somewhere in the abyss of the city stood a simple wooden house; however, under this house was one of the strongest dark guilds in the city, Blood Chalice.
The vice guild leader of Blood Chalice, a man in his thirties with a long scar traversing his face, kept repeatedly tapping atop the table before him.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
''So you're saying that you succeed in knowing that player location?" The man asked with a rough voice; he wore red paladin armor, which had a blood chalice symbol on top of it.
A man kneeled before the vice guild master; it was the same man who had espied Alex until he went upstairs a few minutes ago; this man was a member of the Blood Chalice, he came to report his finding.
Tap! Tap!!
''What do you think, Luriel?" The vice guild master tilted his head and looked to his right.
Unlike what one would have expected after hearing such a good name, the result was a disappointment, the one called Luriel wasn't angelic as her name suggested but stood two meters and half, possessing a gorilla-like figure. However, it would be a big blunder to think that she was only a muscle with no brain; she was quite smart, it was why the vice guild master asked for her opinion.
When Luriel opened her mouth, the weakest members in the room was forced to close their ears in a panic because they felt like their eardrums would burst if they didn't do that; her voice was so frightening loud; however, the vice guild master had no trouble listening to such a voice, he was even smiling.
''Marcus, I think this might be a trap; no, it's a trap for sure because a man capable of completely eliminating members from the three guilds would not act so foolishly to announce where he lives.''
Marcus, the vice guild master of the Blood Chalice, nodded his head because he also smelled something fishy. Luriel continued.
''If my guess isn't wrong, then it meant that this man is sending us an invitation. Assassinate me if you can. Although fight is prohibited inside the city, it's only under certain circumstances; assassination is still possible. I don't know the real purpose behind this man's behavior, but I suggest that we ignore him for a while and strike when his guard is down.''
Most of the guild members in the room seemed not to share the same opinion as Luriel; to them, not replying felt like a huge slap in the face.
Marcus seemed to have read their thoughts and chuckled before announcing.
''Thank you, Luriel. I appreciate your opinion, but I think this is a provocation, and we must respond, do not forget that the other two guilds will be aware of this; we must act faster. I have already contacted the leader, and he said to handle it. The other guilds will send their members to test the water we shall do the same, and besides, hehehe forget it, we shall wait and see if my hunch is right.''
Although curious about what Marcus wanted to say, Luriel stayed silent.
Marcus suddenly ordered.
''Select our best men for assassination; five should be good and go bring me back that asshole head.''
''Roger!"
From the darkness, three voices responded before disappearing. Marcus chuckled and closed his eyes while he was patiently waiting.. Luriel, by his side, crossed her big arms covered with numerous battle scars.
