Stay With Me || Arlecchino x Male OC (Genshin Impact Fan Fiction)

The Revelation

The plan is fully ready. I will be hiding inside the lower ruin and prevent the escape of Knave. The detonators are placed in their locations. I am down on my spot. I won't be looking at what happens.

---/// Arlecchino POV ///---

It's been 5 days since I came to Sumeru Dessert. I have cleared the Samudra Coast and the entire Hadramavat Dessert till now. And I have finished almost all the Eremite factions I must deal with. Right now I just need to terminate one camp of the Eremites. But I am sure they must have disbanded their faction by this point. But just to be safe I will take some time to check the situation. I asked for 1 and a half weeks from the Captain for this job. I knew it would take a week only to finish it but he gave me more time just to be on the safe side. I am not sure why Captain wants me to take these camps down, but all of these things are approved by Her Majesty the Tsaritsa herself. So I don't think I bear any responsibility for these actions. If any problem arises, she herself will take care of it. Since I will be done with this job before a week. 

Well, I do have to thank that one Eremite who took down the entire group of Eremites all on his own. But what shocked me the most was the fact that he didn't had a vision. He certainly have a potential to be a good fighter. It will be pretty bad if he came across me. I might have to end his life as well then. It will really be a shame then. 

The last remaining group of Eremite has gone into a hiding spot I guess. But it won't be long before I take this last group of Eremite down. The camp I attacked had some useful information about the last Eremite group that I was hunting. It seems that all the Eremites are hiding in the lower levels of setekh wenut. There are many ruins in that area but I am sure I can hunt them down.

I reached the area more quickly than I had anticipated. I tried to be stealthy but I have a feeling that I might have already been found out. The trails are too obvious. I can easily tell that the Eremites are ending that ruin. They didn't even try to hide this fact that went into hiding.

I had suspicious feelings about all this but I still went inside. I wanted to know if Eremites were actually smart enough to lay a trap for me. And if they are, then let's see what kind of trap they had set for me.

I entered into the ruin. It was barren land and had lots of weak walls. I could hear the sound of water. This might not be a good spot to lay a trap. They are certainly crazy about this idea. I went deep down into the ruin where I could hear the sound of instruments and songs as well. Are they celebrating something? Well, I certainly don't wish to ruin their celebration but I have to do this job. I entered their lair and saw 5 Eremites. I called out to them. They weren't shocked to see me, it was like they expected me to enter into their lair. But if that was the case, then there should be happiness in their eyes since I walked right into their trap. But all they had was a look of disappointment in their eyes. One of them stood up and made an announcement.

"My fellow Eremites, I think this is the end of our journey, I am sad that it ended quickly but I am glad that I got to enjoy them with you guys."

As soon as that man finished speaking, the other Eremites picked up their weapon and attacked me at the same time. I pulled back but I countered their attack and pushed them back again. Other Eremites were also attacking me simultaneously and tried to attack me. Was this the trap? The 5 Eremites who know they are about to die here. I can't believe this stupidity. There must be something that misses the eye. While fighting with them, I came to stand at a certain point and then one of Eremites started should and others joined him as well.

"Aakraman!!"

Was that some kind of code? Are they calling for backup? No, I am getting a strange sensation in my body, What is happening here? Am I scared-
