Ch122-Trapped Rats
-

Sylver put his robe on top of his clothes and absorbed them into his [Bound Bones] storage. Due to his newfound usefulness, he had been moved to the back of the group, next to Estus.
The robe felt extremely comfortable against Sylver’s skin. As the tailor had explained there was a thin layer of a very strange fluffy material woven into the robe. The man had explained that if Sylver was to be shot, the s...

It was a bonding moment for the two men, as they each drank from their respective cup of tea and glass of liquor, and watched a relatively attractive elf woman wash herself in the shower.
Sylver was…
He didn’t have a strong opinion regarding the glass and mirror houses. Or more accurately, it ended up being neutral.
On the one hand, he had a constant feeling of being watched, and Spring’s inability to find shadows...

Sylver reached for the knife sticking out of his chest and ripped his blanket in the process. He touched his scarred chest all over, searching for the blood-covered piece of metal and it took far longer than he cared to admit to realize he was perfectly fine and still in his bed.
He slumped back into his sweat-soaked pillow and closed his eye in a pointless attempt to glean something from his fragments of future memories.

Sylver remained perfectly still, embedded into the grassy dirt, and with both of his hands in the air, while the gun remained pointed right at his face.
Sylver didn’t get a whole lot of time to think through his options, as his stomach, and the faint whirring noise coming out from the gun made his decision for him.
The armored man holding the gun was on Sylver’s right, which was very fortunate for Sylver, but unfortunate fo...

Sylver woke up in a cold sweat and for a moment felt like his head was going to explode.
Most mages couldn’t dream.
There wasn’t enough untouched space in their heads for their consciousness to have enough room to work without their knowledge.
They would close their eyes, and when they opened them, several hours had passed. That was how Sylver slept, or that’s how he slept when he could let his guard down....

Sylver didn’t bother watching the wheel next to him spinning, and quite honestly couldn’t really hear a word Rouge was saying either.
The normally ruckus crowd was just short of silent this time around, and Sylver quite honestly couldn’t blame them.
He missed Rouge’s description of the man and didn’t get his name, but the uncom...

A few days passed without much to show for it.
For the most part, Sylver ate, slept, and watched the cloudless sky while he waited for his leg to grow back.
He had a knee now.
And a quarter of a fibula and tibia.
But oddly enough it was the knee that he missed the most. It was just nice to have something he could bend, even if there was nothing on the other side of it.
Sylver had had another match i...

Sylver waited while the old elf, Delvin, finished talking to a customer before he sat down in front of him.
“25 meters and you missed 9 out of 12 shots? I honestly didn’t think someone could be that bad,” Delvin said with a dry grin as he looked up at Sylver.

To their credit, despite being blinded and lost, not a single person fired a shot.
They didn’t move anywhere either, which was a mistake, but it wasn’t like they could have predicted that the ground they were standing on was part of the trap.
“Garret!” someone shouted in the oddly far too dense cloud of smoke.
“30 up, 19 left!” someone responded.
Presumably Garret.

It was the small things like this that always made Sylver feel right at home.
No matter the realm, the place, the city, the civilization, the race, the level of technology, magic or lack thereof, culture, dictator, republic, it didn’t matter, everyone everywhere always loved watching two people beat the ever-loving shit out of each other.

The creature barreled towards Sylver, with the force and momentum of a dead silent avalanche. For half a second or so, there was a vicious beauty to the ferocity and aggression with the practiced ease the creature’s claw’s found the perfect place to into. It flowed towards Sylver, with a monstrous strength between each lurch forward.
Sylver didn’t move a single muscle as the darkness that made up his arm and l...

Sylver had forgotten how convenient it was to have Spring around to carry everything for him, as he struggled to make all 9 guns fit into his bag. 3 of them were much smaller than the ones that they shot at him with, and Sylver only found them because of the lead inside.
They were attached to a leather case strapped to t...

Sylver was almost thankful for his lack of leg as he had just enough room to sit comfortably in the small and narrow bathtub. It would have been awfully cramped if he had his left arm and leg.
The blue district was a bit different from the green district.
For one, Sylver’s Iris stopped working when he went past a certain point in the area. The large Iris that hung in his house explained to him that in such a ma...

The language the “elves” used, was different from the one the “elves” on the boat had.
It was a bastardization of elvish, but Sylver had to admit he liked the simplicity of it. They narrowed the alphabet to a mere 50 letters and used a special “softener” and “hardener” letter to make a vowel or constants the proper pitch when written.
Given that Sylver could already speak the language, and the bird helped ...

When faced with a life or death scenario, the most important thing is to remain calm.
And while Sylver had a slightly irrational fear of lead, it wasn’t enough to cause a full-blown panic.
Especially when he could tell by the slight curl of the lips and eyes, that the two men were enjoying his fear. Which was fantastic, as far as Sylver was concerned.
It’s the people who didn’t get a kick out ...

At some point mid-flight, Sylver had been released from his seat, and two of the armored men lifted him and laid him down onto a strangely warm table. His clothing was very gently cut off, and they poked and prodded every single scar and wound on his body.
The man with the large mirror in his hand touched it every time the man with the small light found a new injury. Sylver could tell by their souls they were both confused, and d...

The results of Sylver dissecting the half-elves were…

If Sylver went by their insides, they were human.
But they weren’t human either.
They had the same bone and muscle structure, same heart shape, s...

It was a lot like turning a dial and then hearing it snap.

With the blood and fat scrubbed away, and with the giant piece of skin cut down to about the size of a robe, Sylver had to admit he didn’t look half bad.

But it was certainly an improvement to walking around completely nude, or covered in darkness and appearing to be a walking silhouette.

As Sylver tried to take a step back to get into a good stance, he looked down and realized something.
No left leg meant no leverage on his right arm’s swing. His darkness wouldn’t hold if he tried to use it to hold the weight of his swing.
And if he tried to swing with his left arm using his right leg, it would just liquefy under the strain.

Except the first tripwire Sylver checked had been tripped.
As had the second.
And third.
