My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Anton invited his new friends, Torun, Blake, Andrea, Soren, and his two cohorts, inside their family suite so he could introduce them to his family. When he entered the suite, Anton’s father glared at him for a bit, but then his eyes softened immediately, especially when Anders saw that he was fine and was with a group of young people.

“Where have you been?! We are very worried for you and also the Supreme Adinor has been waiting for several minutes already,” Anders said.

“I was with my friends warning them of the danger. I also sold them some summoning tablets for their protection,” Anton told his father.

He then introduced his friends to his family then his friends left immediately, especially when they saw that a powerful supreme wizard was waiting for Anton. After his friends left, Anton approached Supreme Adinor.

“I apologize for the delay, Sir. I was just worried for my friends and their family.”

“That’s fine Anton. I just want to inform you and your family, and please don’t spread this around for now, that a couple more people have died. That’s around twenty-six people already. The nobles next door, the family below, and a couple of mages who might have stumbled on the location where the killer was. We wanted to borrow some of your wolves since they might be able to sniff out the enemy and since they’re summoned, I assumed that it’s okay for them to be killed?” Adinor informed him and his family and told him of his request.

Everyone looked shocked when they heard the total number of people that had already died since it was more than the casualties from their previous encounter with the Undead Coalition. In fact, the attack of the three ghost ships and the wraiths on the ship only had a couple of casualties.

“Are there no spells we can use to track the murderers?” Anton asked.

“We have tried everything in our arsenal since we’re now prioritizing this case. Of course, we haven’t bothered the Invincible yet. We’re thinking that your wolves could help,” Adinor answered.

Anton lent the Supreme Wizard two of the Spirit Wolves which was fine since there would still be eight wolves remaining to guard the rest of the family which were three of the Spirit Wolves and five Dire Wolves. He also still had the Golem but it was so huge that it would be awkward to summon it inside the ship.

“Do you have an insight into what the nature of the murderers is? Are they undead or humans?” Anton asked.

“At first, we suspected that this was one of the last attempts of the Undead Coalition even though we’re now far from Rendindura but our spells have not detected any signs of death magic. This could be the work of a high-level professional who is not a mage,” Adinor answered.

Anton was surprised. Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had not encountered any other powerful professional aside from a mage and he had been to several cities. He wasn’t denying their existence since even his Diablo II system had different characters it was just he hadn’t personally encountered one.

The Supreme Adinor then left bringing two Spirit Wolves with him. Anton could have offered the two remaining Spirit Wolves summoning tablets to the supreme wizard and he was sure that the powerful mage would be able to afford them without any problem but the Supreme Wizard required a summoned that did not die which meant that there was a huge chance that the Spirit Wolves would be destroyed. That wasn’t a problem for Anton since he could just summon them again but if the animals came from the tablet, once they were destroyed, they would be gone forever.

“Lucas, Devon can I talk to you?” Anton then sat on one of the chairs at the dinner table, which usually meant that anyone could listen in without any problem so everyone stayed, which he found a bit funny.

Anton noticed the presence of the two new beautiful ladies in the room. It appeared that his father and Selena successfully persuaded her two friends to stay with them during this current situation possibly during the whole voyage which was fine with Anton since the women were really pretty. He realized then that he could have a double standard since Anton knew that he would probably complain if the freeloaders were brute men instead of beautiful ladies. To be honest, their suite was now filled with flowers and that was just fine with him.

When Norma and Belue saw Anton noticed them, they smiled at him and waved and he smiled back which made Anna snort causing everyone to laugh.

“What do you want to talk about, Anton?” Lucas asked.

“The Supreme Adinor said that there’s a chance that the murderer or murderers were not mages. I wanted to ask about other professions because, during our travels, I haven’t encountered anyone other than a mage that I can consider powerful enough to be a threat to a mage, no offense.” Anton said and Lucas laughed.

“You mentioned to us before the powerful characters that you can inherit from your bloodline magic. I keep forgetting that you’re truly not that experienced in the ways of the world. Wizards tend to be very arrogant thinking that they are the most powerful in the world, which was to some degree, correct, but others may be just as powerful or even more compared to a wizard. We knew about assassins when you mentioned it since we do have special assassins in this world as well. We’re not talking about those ruffians who accept coins for murder but true assassins who wielded the power of the shadows,” Lucas said.

“I haven’t encountered a true assassin but I’ve heard stories from father and some of my friends. It was said that they could control the shadows, like literally fold them to their bodies and they would disappear. My friends also told me that they have mastered several battle arts that would allow them to fight ten warriors at once!” Devon added.

“Another professional that I encountered when I was young was a very powerful elven archer. She called herself a Moonlight Ranger but I did not see her use her powers since our mercenary team met her briefly in a camp,” Lucas mentioned while looking like he was trying to remember the details of that meeting.

“A friend told me about someone who called himself a Blood Monk. My friend told me that they were fearsome warriors with unimaginable skills but since he was not very good with his words, he could not describe the details of their skills,” Devon added who was beginning to look a bit uncomfortable and then Anton heard Devon’s stomach rumbling.

“I’m sorry, I forgot about dinner. Have you all not eaten yet?” Anton asked and his father told him that everyone had been busy and a bit fearful.

Anton then asked Colin, Devon, and Frederick to get dinner for everyone so they went outside followed by a couple of Dire Wolves. He then continued listening to Lucas share his knowledge about professions aside from wizards while they were waiting for dinner.

“I also heard about someone who called himself a Cloud Duelist but I don’t know what kind of skill the man has,” Lucas continued.

“I met a woman who said that she has the skills of a Veil Dancer. She demonstrated a bit of skill to us and when she danced everyone in that group became dizzy for a minute,” Nemina inserted.
