Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch 14 Beta & Zaveid

Somewhere, at night, the bell that hanging on the door rings as the hint of the visitor, makes the one sitting in the bar turned her head.

"President, here I come~" Ophelia waved her hand to say hello to an old acquaintance, though they are no close enough to call a friend.

"Ophelia? What's a rare visitor, you are usually the spectator." The only one sitting in the bar answered with a welcome smile.

"This is interesting people I found, one of whom calls himself Sorey." Ophelia said with a confident smile, she has expected the person will care about this.

"Interesting. Did the feeling 2 months ago really because of the Maotelus awaken...... Why would you tell me?" The 'president' calmly responded and said in a carefree tone.

"Eh? I thought you would be interested in this, you obviously working so hard for him."

"That's what happened in my human time, and I did it for myself too..... For the guy who doesn't know if he is a fake, I will ask you to help me observe it for a while."

"Do you think I will help you?" Ophelia doubted, she should know she is always neutral.

"Because you won't do anything but watch." The ' president' taunted.

"This is really the best compliment, ok, I will observe it for you."

"By the way, how is Beta now?"

"She is still missing, but recently there seems to be another news that she has appeared somewhere, Zaveid is going to check it out."

"In this way, I pray for her to be safe, after all, she is also an important member of our alliance."

Velvet pov

Approaching the center of the tower, the building appearance becomes more modern with metal panel facade, the building material in this district obviously more expensive than the outer ring, indicating the importance in this place.

Without any sign of action, we are attacked by a gang with a steel bar as their weapon.

No matter where you go, a lot of troubles come. Is the one who call Beta in here so famous?

"Get out from here........Wait....How did you get out?! Catch them!" Shouted the gang which in charge of protecting the district and they are only human, I have the confidence to defeat them quickly. Also, from his message, I can sure we are approaching the actual location for the capture of Beta.

"Get out of my way! or I will kill you!" I warn them and rushed into the groups of people and fight like a berserker.

"Velvet?! We don't need to kill!" Sorey does not agree to my words but I don't care, I never expect a Shepherd agree with the credo of a Lord of Calamity.

I leave no limit of power to hit 2 of them in a coma with the rod I obtained from the guild and kick down the enemies one by one with the blade in my shoe to draw out from the fight and move on. I don't want to stop, so it is unnecessary for me to keep attacking a target until dead and it is not good to be recognized or wanted in this region, so it may be better to not kill anyone.

Soon, we break out from the gang and arrive at the central tower entrance.

"Thank you," Sorey said while running after me.

"For what?" I confused.

"For not killing them." He watched behind, obviously referring the gang.

"..........I only do for my own good." I responded honestly and sighed. This ex-shepherd is really a doormat, he even says thanks for the one just attacked him for their good, guess he will accept all the request from others if he is asked.
