The Insider System

Chapter 397: The Deal Pt.33

Donny wasn't sure how he could tell that not much time had passed when he opened his eyes but it wasn't really important anymore. Feeling his tongue had been reattached or regrown he knew there was no longer any chance that he would be able to stop the Demon Lord from turning him into something he didn't want because if he tried anything like killing himself again a healer would just come into the room or cage or whatever they had him in this time and heal or revive him.

"He's moving. I think he's awake." Donny could tell before he even looked at where the voice had come from that whoever it was wasn't a Demon Worshiper because they were whispering and opening his eyes he was able to confirm that he was indeed now in a cell with other people.

"Tell him your name. That will make him want to talk to us." Donny wasn't sure about that but it seemed the man closest to him thought it was a good idea because right after he had opened his eyes they introduced themself. "Hey I'm Tod. What's your name?"

Donny could tell that these people were probably going to be his companions until it happened so instead of just staying silent he gave them an answer. "I'm Donny."

"I know him! I know him! He's the Metal one." Like the last the place he was in was too dark to see very well so other than Tod who was right next to him he wasn't able to see the others but the amount of murmurs he was hearing told him there must be a lot of them. "Ooo Metal. That's exciting."

"What's exciting?" Donny didn't say this as aggressively as he wanted because he knew some of the people here had probably been here long enough to go mad and being mean to them was wrong but he honestly didn't understand how someone could be excited about what the Demon Lord had planned for him or anyone that was here.

"You're the first Metal so you'll be going for sure." Donny was about to ask the other voice to clarify what they meant a bit more but Tod got in the way blocking his sight from seeing the others even though he couldn't actually see them anyway. "Ignore them please. I need you to tell me if you've seen my wife before you get taken away."

After jumping the wall back into the Holy Domain, Lake had felt something watching him for a while but when he had held up his ring it had gone away. He guessed that was how the God of Light or all the gods kept their enemies from just flying over the wall that surrounded their Domain but it made him wonder what it was that had been watching him.

Was it the God of Light or was it just something that was supposed to keep track of intruders like the marks he placed on people using Marks Of Interest. He felt the fact it had gone away when he held his ring up pointed to it being a Demigod that was in charge of security but he had no way of knowing since Detector hadn't told him anything when he tried to use it to get an answer.

He had eventually moved on from thinking about it and focused on the fact that he was closing in on another town and since it was in the Holy Domain it made him think it might be where he was heading. Thus had been confirmed when the arrow had started to pint down towards the ground again as he passed over the item.

...

Nothing had really happened for the first few hours Tiff had been here but eventually someone had run past her and when she saw an arrow spinning over their hand Tiff instantly knew who it was and almost called out but decided to keep her presence unknown and just watch what Lake was doing here.

...

Right after Lake passed into the center of the town he could tell someone was watching him intently but going after powerful items sometimes meant dealing with powerful people so he didn't worry about it and started to look for where they were. After setting Detector to look for Dark Lord's Chain he saw that it was below him like the last few things had been and used Detector again to see if there were any people around that could kill him.

When the owner of the armor didn't start to glow, Lake made sure they weren't in a group he was a part of using Detector one last time before he used Ghost Touch to slip into the ground. Usually he would have tried sneaking around for a while so they would lose track of him but he was in a hurry this time and was fine if there was a fight.
