Chapter 50:The Activities of Grievius

Tell me, Mr. Grievius, what have you been doing all these days?"

Grievius simply gave a sarcastic laugh as he took another sip from his glass. He then began to look at the wine in it.

"It's been a busy week, to be honest brat"

"I doubt you know but a building caught fire and collapsed, I'm sure you'll say that's not weird but the problem is that that building was the base of a gang"

Adryan simply began to calmly drink from his glass and did not decide to speak for fear that he would reveal himself.

Seeing that the redhead didn't respond, Grievius simply shook his head.

"This gang was also special they were believers of an evil God and during one of their rituals something went wrong and ended in the death of all the members"

"All except a masked stranger who escaped using a shadow-related ability."

Adryan now looked at Grievius in surprise, the punishers of the Lord of Storm's church were supposed to be in charge of that event but why then did Grievius know about this.

Adryan's reaction made Grievius laugh again and he misunderstood the reason for the reaction.

"HAHAHA That face of yours is so funny and now with your new eyes it's even funnier HAHAHA!!!"

'If you want, I'll give you the recipe to have them, old bastard'-Adryan's eyebrow trembled slightly as he drank another bit of wine.

"The punishers originally took it upon themselves to keep this hidden and the biggest reason I knew anything is because I'm a good friend of the team captain who ran into the masked man"

"According to him, the masked man was quite injured and barely managed to escape, but when they checked all the remains of the fire they found a carnage and horribly mutated bodies"

"That was one of the reasons why they decided to keep this hidden but when they checked and what they found later forced them to reveal information to the other churches."

"Originally it was thought that the reason for what happened was due to a failed ritual performed by the head of the Blood Mark but it turned out that the True Creator used the statue that was revered as a mark to transfer his power and because he sent too much power to that statue caused this one to be destroyed"

"Because of all that power, all the people who were inside died or others mutated so much that they fused creating a horrible monster"

Saying that Grievius raised his hand with a clenched fist but kept one finger up.

"Everyone died except the masked man…"

When he said that he lowered his hand and went back to drink more wine....

"Because of this discovery they were forced to ask to notify the other churches and they asked for reinforcements to help"

"This is not the juiciest part brat, when the church of the Goddess of Evernight and the God of Steam and Machinery sent the Nighthawks and the Machinery Hivemind respectively, something very funny happened"

Taking another sip of the wine, Grievius couldn't help but let out a loud laugh at the memory.

"The captain of the Machinery Hivemind team brought a sealed artifact, it is a mirror that answers your questions that, in exchange for the answer, will require a punishment or to answer a question, the catch is that to use it you have to be surrounded by people"

"When the captain used the mirror to see what happened, they managed to see all the progress from how the statue broke until the building collapsed"

"The question the captain had to answer was if he ever wanted two teammates to grab him and do whatever they wanted to him..psss HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Grievius didn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing and Adryan did too because he already had an idea of ​​who he was and would have loved to see poor Mr. Red Underwear's reaction.

When they calmed down a bit Grievius continued counting.

"The captain chose to punish and a somewhat strong ray came out of the mirror and hit him, leaving him with his hair standing and a face covered in smoke..."

When he said that he let out another laugh but this one was a little more forced.

Adryan noticed this and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Grievius nodded and after taking another sip of wine continued counting.

"But there was a problem in what the mirror showed and that was that at no time did it show the masked man and the punishers noticed and claimed that"

"Because of that the captain who had been punished offered them the mirror to ask."

"My friend decided to be the one to ask the question..."

"When he asked the mirror what the identity of the masked man was, the mirror simply remained silent, it did not show any image or any answer, and neither did it ask for the answer to a question nor did it punish..."

"He thought it had broken so he demanded an answer from the captain but he also didn't know what was happening because according to him it was the first time something like this had happened"

Grievius drank the last of the wine from his glass and placed it on the table, then turned to face Adryan.

"They failed to get any kind of information about this man as if he never existed"

Grievius's tone had turned dark and dangerous and even Adryan who was the man they were looking for was quite surprised.

Even with Klein, the mirror Arrodes showed at most his shadow but now it didn't even dare to look at him...

What was supposed to be the meaning of that?....

...

Quickly feeling that he shouldn't keep thinking about this, Adryan tried to change the topic of conversation.

"That sure is creepy but Mr. Grievius are you sure it's a good idea to talk about all of 'this' in here?"

At the question, Grievius smiled and took out a watch from his pocket.
