15 Failed Plan!

Chapter 15: Failed Plan!

"Somebody, take care of these corpses. Gobu- Young lad, follow me." Shamuji who forgot Draco's name commanded the guards to throw away the charred corpses and for Draco to follow him.

"Village Head, Let me take care of it." Draco who obviously wanted to Devour the corpses tried to suggest his help and Shamuji- let's just say he didn't take it kindly.

"Are you... Disobeying me?"

*Fwshh*

A small fire was once again conjured on his left hand as he looked at Draco anything but kindly.

"N-no! I wouldn't dare, Village Head." Draco started sweating once again as he never thought the Old Monster would refuse him.

'What's with this guy? Why is he suddenly so aggressive? Is it because of the meditation technique? Dammit! Now I won't even be able to devour the corpses! So many wasted stats! My precious XP! Shit! Now that he's wary of me I need to act faster, The first to strike wins!' Draco's eyes almost got cloudy as he silently followed behind Shamuji who was looking at him with side-eyes as he thought.

'Change of plans, now that he knows about my meditation technique I can't risk it anymore, this will significantly lower the chances of my Bloodline Enhancement, but, I can't afford any hidden elements. Now, how should I deal with him?'

Plans were starting to lay out as each one was trying to shoot down his opponent in the smoothest and fastest way possible.

 Arriving at the central area, Shamuji wore his signature warm smile that will send shiver down anyone's spine and said.

"This will be your home from now on, If you need anything you can command those filthy vermins anytime, now, if you'll excuse me." He pointed at the small wooden hut that could only fit a room with a bed and basic necessities inside without any toilet whatsoever and turned to return to his house.

"Ah, Uh, yes! Good luck with your meditation, Village Head." Draco was lost in his thoughts before he said and felt that something was wrong.

"Now, now... There are somethings that are best left unsaid, Young Lad." Shamuji turned back to face Draco before he squinted his eyes raised his staff and finally summoned the long awaited [Great Fireball] That was aimed at Draco.

'You've gotta be kidding me! Talk about Smart! System, Add all points to Agility!' Draco finally realized what he said wrong, mentally smacked himself, and turned tail to run without a second of delay.

"Come here, Young Lad! Don't Run! Let Grandpa teach you how to speak!" Shamuji added more mana to his Fireball to conjure it quickly and shouted at the running Draco.

Unfortunately for him, by the time the Fireball was conjured, Draco who wasn't so smart currently knew better than to stop and already turned around several tents.

Amplifying his voice with mana, Shamuji gave a simultaneous order to every Goblin in the Village.

"Hear me out, you Smelly Vermins! I want each and every one of you to chase Gobu- The other Filthy vermin who is running, RIGHT NOW!"

The goblins were startled before they found Draco who was like a flash turning from tent to tent running towards the gate or any place he could get the hell out of this village from.

'How are we supposed to catch him?' was all the goblins could think of but they had to act anyway.

Draco was getting closer and closer to the gate with every step as he thought:

'Dang it, this ruined everything! One mindless mistake! One misspoken word! It wasn't supposed to be like this! Dang it If I knew this was going to happen I would have remained silent.' Demeaning himself wasn't enough for Draco as he started thinking about all the wrongs he'd done since he came to this world, he was too reckless, too uninformed, too dumb, too everything wrong.

'It's alright, Apart from losing my arm yesterday, I haven't done anything life-threatening, well If I didn't kill the orc I wouldn't be so sure about that. Oh, the Orcs! Right, I can devour them, absorb their memories, and know where they came from, come to think of it, their king or whoever it was is interested in the Old Monsters' Meditation technique If I can use him to wage battle against Shamuji and weaken him or even kill him I can give him the meditation technique and complete the Quest a win-win, now How can I talk with him without siking my life? Let's take things slow, I will devour the corpses first.' Draco planned in his mind and came to a solution.

As for the poisoning plan? Not to mention that Shamuji has the [Appraisall] skill and he can easily know that whatever Draco gave him is poisoned, he can't even step in the village without hordes of goblins and a [Great Fireball] welcoming him 'warmly'.

Reaching the gate, Draco looked at where the corpses were supposed to be and didn't find them, he then looked at the guard who was looking at him in fear, and said.

"Where are the corpses?"

"I-I don't-" The goblin started stuttering not daring to follow the Village Head's orders and attack Draco as he knew he would be killed in one move but he still tried to lie.

"I said, Where are the corpses?" Draco moved closer to the goblin lifted him up by his neck and repeated his words.

"There!" The goblin pointed in a direction and Draco dropped him before he ran without a single word.

Not long after he found, 6 goblins every 2 dragging one orc as they were heading towards a river.

'Dumb shits! They're going to pollute it.' Draco thought in his head before he took out his sword.

The goblins looked at him and were surprised, but they didn't stop one of them even said: "Are you here to help?" Obviously, they haven't heard Shamuji's Command.

"I'm here to kill!" Draco said before charging his sword with mana and launching a horizontal [Mana Slash].

[You've killed...]

Draco directly dismissed the System notifications as they weren't worthwhile and raised his hand to aim at the 9 corpses.

"[Devour]."
