Night Shadow did not do anything and let the shadows come towards him. Well, he already knew there were "assassins" in the room because his radar was always on. For now, Night Shadow thought it would best if he went with the play.

The assassins were covered in black clothing and none of their body parts was exposed. Well, your typical assassins. There were four assassins in the room, who came towards Night Shadow and pinned him to the ground with their weapons ready to suppress any resistance from Night Shadow.

"Oof!", a muffled voice came from Night Shadow as his face and body were pinned on the ground.

Suddenly, Gnindic started smiling evilly as he asked, "Surprised, Night Shadow?"

"Whaff arf you doinf, Gnindif?!", Night Shadow gave a muffled scream.

"What?", Gnindic gave nodded to one of the assassins and the assassin pulled Night Shadow's head by his hairs.

"Why...Why?! I trusted you!", Night Shadow said in a fake sad, and betrayed tone.

Gnindic kept smiling and said, "Well, if you trusted me so much, you are nothing but a fool. You're too naive! Although I was surprised when the poison of the food did not work on you, you fell for it this time. I bet you didn't see this coming, did you?"

'I did', Night Shadow smirked inwardly but did not show it on his face.

"You put poison in my food?! Why?!! Wha-what d-do you w-w-want f-from m-me?", Night Shadow said in a terrified voice.

"N-n-nothing. I just want to hear you scream for mercy when I torture you", Gnindic stuttered as he mocked Night Shadow. His smile became eviler and his face became crazier.

Seeing the combination of the Gnindic's crazy face and his fat body made Night Shadow look down and stifle a laugh. The assassins and Gnindic looked at Night Shadow as if he was an idiot. Night Shadow looked at Gnindic and could not hold back the laughter.

"Pffft...Hahahahahahahaha...hah...hah...Please...stop...talking...nonsense...hahaha...", Night Shadow pleaded between his laughing.

"What?! What's so funny?! Huh! Tell me!", Gnindic said angrily as the fat on his belly moved up and down.

Night Shadow saw this and started laughing even harder than last time. Night Shadow kept banging the floor with his fists and rolled from side to side. The assassins looked dumbfounded as they saw Night Shadow escape their clutches and Gnindic looked even angrier. Just when Gnindic was about to move towards Night Shadow, Night Shadow stopped laughing and said coldly...

"My turn"

Night Shadow used his full speed and seemed to disappear from the spot. With the number of stat points of speed, he could not be seen through normal eyes. Night Shadow did not teleport but moved very fast. The assassins got their weapons ready and stood in a square formation with Gnindic in the middle.

Gnindic seemed to become crazier because he said, "Do not kill that kid. Find him an..."

"Missed me already?", a cold voice said as Gnindic saw that blood spraying from the neck of the assassins.

Gnindic did not seem to care as he said, "Come back here brat! I want to hear your screams of pain!!"

"Here I am", the cold voice said from behind Gnindic's back.

Gnindic turned around and a hand covered his face. Gnindic struggled but the hand on his face would not allow Gnindic to move the spot. Suddenly, Gnindic started feeling his face heat up. Night Shadow started hearing the flesh of Gnindic's face starting to sizzle.

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

Night Shadow increased the temperature and the flesh started sizzling even faster. Gnindic could tolerate it at first but he couldn't now. Gnindic fell on his knees and screaming.

"Please stop!!! I will do whatever you want me to do!! Please just stop!!", Gnindic said pleading in a pain-filled tone.

Night Shadow increased the temperature and asked, "Are the map and the location of the device on the map real?"

Gnindic nodded vigorously while in pain.

Night Shadow nodded and said, "Good, now, explain the map to me and tell me everything I need to know about the teleportation device...Oh, and by the way, I have a lie-detecting artifact on me so if you lie, believe when I say I will give you an experience that would make death look like mercy"

Night Shadow slowly told the last few words so that Gnindic feels more scared and doesn't betray Night Shadow. Also, the lie-detecting artifact is nothing but lies Night Shadow made up. As expected, Gnindic becomes more scared and nods slowly while moving towards the table. Night Shadow transforms removes his right hand and transforms it into the Void Disintegrator gun and places it behind Gnindic's back.

Night Shadow and Gnindic move towards the table slowly with Gnindic at the lead and Night Shadow behind him. It takes them a few seconds and Gnindic reaches for the table but suddenly sweeps his hand.

HNNNNNNMMMMMMMMM~

A deep sound resounded in the hallways, kitchen, dining room, and everywhere in the mansion. Night Shadow looked calmly at the smiling Gnindic. Gnindic was about to say something but Night Shadow shoots the bullet and kills him.

Wizz~

Gnindic disappears and Night Shadow hears a ding in his head but now it not the time for stalling. Night Shadow has a bad feeling and so, his only option now is to escape. Night Shadow looks around the room and finally sees his escape route. The window. Night Shadow clenches his hands into a fist and uses full power to punch it.

Crack!

Night Shadow looks and sees that the result of that punch was only a small crack. He becomes surprised at the sturdiness of the window but starts punching it again. Although his defense was very strong(Because he is made of Rarefied Energon), his strength is still not enough.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Night Shadow kept punching at the crack and the crack kept getting bigger and bigger when he hears some muffled voices in the corridor. Night Shadow knew he doesn't have much time and keeps punching the crack.

Crack!

Crack!

Finally, after a few seconds of punching, the window breaks, and fresh air comes in through the window. Night Shadow jumps out of the window as he hears the door of the room open and lands on the ground with no problem. The species surround Night Shadow, curious about what was happening. Night Shadow doesn't care about the surrounding species and tells the system...

'System, transform me into the dragon'

[Yes, host]

Night Shadow keeps his clothes in the storage as he starts transforming into the black dragon. The surrounding species move backward as Night Shadow becomes bigger and longer. Finally, Night Shadow transformed into the black dragon and takes off from the ground.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

The air generated by Night Shadow's flapping causes the species to step back even more to not fly away. At the same time, out of the window, Ophelia's head pops out and shouts...

"Stop that traitor! He has killed my husband, the ruler of Kargul, and is now fleeing away! Guards, capture him and bring him to me!"

After saying this, she breaks down and starts crying. The species all around stop moving backward and become angry. They glare at Night Shadow, they throw insults at him and even tried flying towards him but Night Shadow ignored it and rolled his eyes.

'So it looks like they had planned it beforehand but I wonder what did they want from me?', Night Shadow thought but then let go of it.

He still had one more thing left to do in the middle ring and that was to find the teleportation device so he could go to the innermost ring. Night Shadow started flying towards the ocean as the guards started reaching Night Shadow. Night Shadow had an idea in mind but he was lacking something, so he asked the system.

'Hey system, at what level can I start storing living beings in the storage?'

[Host needs to level up to &%$ level to gain the right to store living beings]

'Which level?'

[&%$ level]

It seemed the system was not telling him the exact level to gain the right to store living beings, so he asked...

'Hey system, if I give 1 million points to you, will you give the rights?'

[No]

Night Shadow did not give up and asked...

'2 million?'

[No]

'3 million?'

[No]

'4 million?!'

[No]

Night Shadow got annoyed with the system. How was 4 million still not enough.

'How much do I have to pay it, system?'

[f the host wants the right to store infinite living beings then he has to pay 10 million points]

Night Shadow almost "vomited blood" after listening to the system. 10 million points was too much for the storage. Too much. But thinking about it, the system also told him that it would allow him to store infinite living beings in it. But still, 10 million points was too much and Night Shadow wanted to lower the price.

'System can't you reduce the price for me'

[I can]

Night Shadow happily thought, 'Please tell'

[9,999,999 points...only]

Night Shadow almost stopped flying and dropped to the ground by the system's answer. Right now, Night Shadow wanted to strangle the system because of two things. First, the new price said by the system and second, by the "only" at the end.

Night Shadow did not know whether to laugh or curse the system by adding the "only" but he got to know one thing about the system. The system could be a blessing in disguise or a thorn in the flesh. Night Shadow tried coming up with any loop he could find in the system but could not. Night Shadow gave up and made his decision.

While flying left and right, up and down to avoid the guards, Night Shadow gritted his "teeth" and agreed to the 10,000,000 million points offer made by the system.

[Deducting 10,000,000 points from the host...]

[Deduction complete...]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the right to store living beings in the storage...]

[System looks forward to business deals with the host]

'Looking forward like hell!'

Although Night Shadow agreed to the agreement made by the system, he was still pissed at the system's greed.

'Greedy idiot'

Well, looking at the bright side, he got the "something" he wanted. Night Shadow flapped his wings harder and started flying faster when, after a minute or so, he saw the silver barrier of Kargul. Night Shadow became happy when he heard a loud horn echoed through the continent.

Night Shadow looked back and saw hundreds, if not thousands, of species coming towards him with weapons. Night Shadow only smirked.

'Just how much do you hate me?'

Night Shadow increased his flying speed to the maximum and sped up, leaving everyone behind him in the dust. The wind that was being generated by his wings pushed anyone who comes near him.

Just when Night Shadow was 100 meters away from the barrier, he saw that the barrier had started becoming more real. Night Shadow thought about what was going on when something from below it struck him. A weapon from one of the guards hit Night Shadow and stuck to his body. Night Shadow did not care and started thinking about what was happening to the barrier when it hit him. The barrier was solidifying.

The previous translucent silver barrier was starting to turn more solid by the second and the speed of the solidifying process was only increasing. Night Shadow tried increasing his flying pace but couldn't anymore.

100 meters...

90 meters...

80 meters...

70 meters...

60 meters...

50 meters...

At this point, the barrier was still solidifying and the space to exit was becoming smaller and smaller. Night Shadow also saw guards coming from below him but did not care about them.

40 meters...

30 meters...

20 meters...

10 meters...

The space for exit was about to solidify when Night Shadow wrapped his wings around him and went through the hole(exit) with the hole solidifying the next second. Night Shadow opened his wings and started moving towards the ocean. Night Shadow also removed the Fallen Phoenix and opened the entrance to it.

The engines of the Fallen Phoneix roared to live and Night Shadow transformed himself as a human and went towards the c.o.c.kpit of the spaceship.

"Hey Athena, you there?"

"Always, master"

"Good, reduce your altitude and switch on the radar at maximum capacity. Tell me if you find anything strange in the ocean"

"Yes, master"

Night Shadow nodded and opened the exit door and stood right at the tip of it. Then, he asked...

'System put the whole ocean in the storage'

[Yes host]

Immediately, the whole ocean started to rise up and became into a vortex before heading towards Night Shadow. Night Shadow braced himself as the vortex hit him and the spaceship rocked. With Night Shadow at the tip of the vortex, the water started reducing faster and faster. Night Shadow did his best to stand as he waited for the vortex to disappear.

Just when Night Shadow thought he could no longer stand, the whirlpool vanished and beneath the spaceship was an empty dark hole that stretched for miles.

Night Shadow did not waste time and said, "Athena, descend and start the search"

"Yes"

Night Shadow went inside as the lights of the spaceship turned on and the spaceship started descending towards the empty hole.
