The Strongest Thief

What could be worse than death? The answer was the loneliness of never being able to die. Of billions upon billions upon billions of creatures across worlds and realities, no matter how powerful they were they would always be consumed by that feeling. It was the true terror that would devour any living entities until their mind shattered and turn to void. What happened if there was a creature, a person, a human who could overcome the fear of nothingness? In the world of Loriana, the world of magic, the world of endless battles between heroes and demon lords. The young boy Torei summoned with his group of friends and his unrequited love. Like any Isekai transmigrators, they were given powers and fame. Well, except for Torei his class was a thief, a lowly infamous class only for thugs, and criminals. What could Torei do in this cruel world filled with endless hatred, suffering as a thief? Cough cough I stare at myself in the mirror for a long time after writing this synopsis. I think I'm serious this time about WSA contest I'm not a native English speaker so expect some grammar errors in my novels I will try to improve with time. If this goes well I'm gonna update a more thoughtfully editing version later. Q&A: Will this has harem? (a small and complicated harem I would say, cause at least one of them was just playing with the MC, even if there's a harem MC gonna choose only 1 love interest, there'll be no harem ending) Will this have NTR? (No) Is the cover yours? (No, I'm just borrowing it please don't kill me) Final word I'm a newbie writer so please be easy on me.

Abyss crawling part 12: These are...

After a short while, in the area, Ilirielth and Iliriendil group just left. The place was surrounded by thousands of those 115 species soldiers, they thoroughly scanned every spec of dust in the area. Among them, there was a 2.5m tall one with a hair-tied ponytail, its left eye looked like somewhat of a snail made of metals, and its face was filled with scars. By the uniqueness of its armor, it seemed to be the high-ranking commander of the group. Its eyes were glued to the tablet in its hands which was playing the video about the fight breaking out in this place a few minutes ago. Walking beside it was another one that had the same height but had a feminine figure.

" Sicat. Did you find anything strange about these brutes?"

" Yes, Redmond sama. The red skin one seems to have some strength but by what was shown it was at a D-class level at most. The most worrisome should be that blue skin, species 105, should be in C class but for some reason, it didn't try to resist. Another thing is that they might have something causing magnetic or some strange spell that pulled all the weapons to their place. I don't know which one of them did it. For now, I assume that it was the red one."

Redmond nodded. The 105 creature looked weak compared to those of its kind and also seem to be more intelligent. However, nothing worth being alarmed about in the current situation. Some of their guns were stolen but those were just lower-tier products. If the enemy had to rely on such trashes then they shouldn't be that hard to catch.

" Redmond sama, what's the danger level of the situation?"

" D should be enough- no set it to C. We haven't confirmed how those things could get into this area. The priority should be to capture them alive. If you couldn't, just kill them. The deadline is 2 hours."

" 2 hours that's…"

" What?"

" Nothing sir. It'll be done in 2 hours."

Redmond stopped at the sight of the dead soldier under his feet, he clicked his tongue. When he was about to step on the corpse's head, the woman Sicat stopped him.

" Redmond sama, damage to the property is prohibited. Don't get yourself into trouble."

" Such a waste or resource. Shouldn't this consider to be D-tier? Why it couldn't even leave a scratch on the monster with the same level? Why bother creating those useless trashes?"

" Sir, those were just newly born. There was still some room for them to grow."

Sicat said with sad eyes but Redmond just laughed at her.

" Put that idiotic thought away Sicat. the resource became more and more scarce. The number of beasts that could pass the barriers increased as time goes on. We don't have any luxury here. I'll request an audit for these products. I don't want to see any of those trash around wasting more of our resources."

"… I understood sir. One more thing, about this situation, should we report it to the upper?"

Redmond was about to say yes but his eyes stopped on one frame in the video, the creature the red skin one carried was huge. It was covered in a leather cloak, he couldn't see its figure. But judging the size proportion between those two reminded him of something.

" Sicat."

The woman named Sicat eyes went wide when she saw the private message Redmond just sent her.

" Understood sir." - She nodded and left.

Since they ran. They were chased nonstop by the soldiers of species 115. There were pretty many but that was just it. They were not even close to those of goblins. The only difficulty for Ilirielth was to follow the female giant's instruction which was only to use these strange weapons called guns to retaliate. Ilirielth hesitated at first, she didn't want to kill any of these creatures but at the moment she had no choice. Just the two of them gun down hundred of those creatures. Those creatures didn't seem to have a ranger class. Because how could a ranger sucker than a swordmaster in range combat? this weapon was so easy to use that Ilirielth thought she might change class to a ranger if she found a way

" Stop, that's just it, get your ass off and run."

" …"

Ilirielth felt irritated, this woman- no, this thing, treated her like its minion and just yelled at her some strange instructions. At this rate, they would just exhaust themselves by continuously hitting and running. Why don't they just cut off the chase completely by eliminating their chasers? And the female giant also told her to move slower so that those things could catch up with them. What the heck? Couldn't stand the female giant's attitude, Ilirielth continue to shoot down every single one of the chasers.

" Not again you fck hea—"

Before it could complete the swear. Its hands drop to the ground and it gasped. Not just the female giant but Ilirielth too, she was about to voice some complaints about the guy bad habit of friendly fire but at the moment he looked scary for some reason. Iliriendil climbed off Ilirielth's back and walked toward the female giant. He squeezed its neck with his tentacle and lift it off the ground. The female giant was still trembling because of the enormous killing intent.

" Do you forget that I'm still here? Didn't I tell your kind not to disrespect her?"

" S-Sorry O' Great One… please be mercy on me, I-I'm your guide!"

" Guide? Can't I just get another one from your father? He seems to be generous enough to do so."

The female giant face paled and she constantly say sorry while crying.

" I don't need your sorry. She does. There's no next time."

Iliriendil threw the female giant to Ilirielth. It crawled to her on four limbs and begged her for forgiveness. Ilirielth was more surprised than happy, she didn't think Iliriendil would do that. She somewhat felt guilty about the pathetic figure of the female giant. After all she was the one who instinctively acted out of the plan first. She gently talked to it.

" I understand what you suggested was to avoid attention from those called 115 species. You said that you knew the secret way to get us out once we were taken into that tower. I'm sorry I should have disagreed with you right away when you make that suggestion, we might have thought of a better course of action."

She bowed to it sincerely sorry but it didn't seem like the female giant completely accepted her apology. There was clear anger in its eyes and it took a quick look at Iliriendil before nodding furiously.

" Now can you tell us about the meaning of your instructions? I also want to know more about those creatures and why their looks are so similar to humans?"

….

" It can't be…"

" What's wrong? Ilirielth."

Iliriendil held Ilirielth who suddenly had a painful look on her face for some reason. Her eyes stared at the female giants while biting her lips.

" You said those creatures are humans… "

As you could see, the cute author was a little bit busy during the recent weeks. He will write more the next week.
