Summoning went wrong

Chapter 16. New ...Associates?

The samurai advanced on the bar land, his dark armor shining in the sunlight.

The troll was on its back, trying to turn around, with the rocks on its body pinning it to the ground.

"What a weak creature."

The samurai lifted his strange sword and swung it at the creature, decapitating it cleanly. Then he kicked the severed head away, hitting a nearby wall.

"I know that you are watching. Show yourself."

Silence.

The samurai waited for a minute, before making a horizontal swing at a house that was far away from him, It was the same house where he kicked the head. The house's wall trembled, falling apart making a giant hole while keeping the rest of the building intact.

When the dust settled, from the hole three figures emerged, each wearing a brown robe, with hoods on, making them look perfectly identical.

"So, you finally came out."

The middle one stepped forward.

"...Who the hell are you?"

The samurai put back his sword in the shelter.

"I am here to talk."

"... Strange way to ask someone to chat. Why would we accept your proposal and not rip you to shreds?"

"Because I believe that you guys want this." The samurai raised an object in one of his hands, making the tree individual hiss. "Yeah, one of you guys was trying to get it when I arrived. So, what do you say?"

"...Follow us."

The figures turned around and disappeared into the darkness of the house.

The samurai followed them into the building, down a staircase to the basement, where one of the walls was bashed in, leading to the sewers.

The figures entered the tunnels and continued to walk at a slow pace.

They walked in complete darkness that didn't seem to bother the samurai, who keep up with their tempo.

Soon they arrived at another opening in a wall, showing a small room, that seemed to be dug out by a beast, with a tone of sand on the ground.

In front of the entrance, there was a black figure sitting in a chair in a hunched back position.

"Welcome to my domain. I am...-

"Dealmaker, the beast. I know it."

"... And who you might be?"

"A samurai."

The one in the armor bowed respectably, in a 90°.

"A samurai? I haven't heard about a profession like this before. May I ask you where you come from?"

"You know about this job and from where it comes from. You don't need to play dumb with me. I know you well."

"...What do you want?"

The manner of speech of the one in black turned cold.

"I am well aware of what you are planning. Destroying and stealing everything from this city, then leaving it as a ruin."

"...Are you here to stop me?"

"Yes."

Followed by the answer of the samurai, two silver armor emerged from the sand under its feet, each holding a halberd at its throat, even before he could react.
