Reincarnated as a rodent!WTF!!!-Chapter 98: Isolation 2
"Clank-Clank"
The sound of steel clashing against steel filled the dry air
"Agh"
Gordon gritted his teeth and stumbled back while [Swift step] the elf breezed through and appeared on the left flank of Gordon
Gordon didn't have time to plant his foot in the sand as the elf sword aimed for his heart.
His eyes turned gold as his blade shimmer [Iluminate]
The efl shut its eyes as it jumped back with a smile on its face
Gordon charged at the elf that stood upright facing him with its eyes shut then
Gordon steps stop moving through the sand as he looked up with a wide open mouth
Flicker of red filled the sky as if an aurora and elves smiled as they looked up
"You let your guard down" Gordon turned to the elf and saw it blade against his neck
He sighed at another loss, it was now the eighth time he lost
"The is no need for you to be sad" the elf smiled at him "your growth is quite impressive consider you just leaned swordsmanship"
Gordon nodded and the elf looked up at the dragon that was losing its shape at it flew down
It rough tough surface turned slippery soft
"Puff"
Everyone shut their eyes as sand rushed to them as it landed, it massive figure vanished under the dust
The elves bowed and Gordon looked around then followed as a pink figures walked to his direction
Her hips swayed at every step she took through the sand, she walked past them to the portal
The elf turned to Gordon "keep practicing"
It left as he gave a gentle node
The elf stepped into the portal and reappeared in a clearing that had a few tree around it, the holes from the tents that was once hung here were barely visible as the pink figure stood at the center of the clearing
"Your majesty is there anything troubling you?" The elf bowed
"No" she turned to one of her generals "but we will be changing our plans"
The leaves swayed slightly as the wind brushed against them "why the sudden change?"
She smiled as she pushed back her silky white hair "I know you are doubtful of my judgement since I released the ratman from the enslavement contract"
"No your majesty" the elf looked at the queen
"The ratman strength is meaningless to our purpose" she turned to the tree's "the reason he lives is because something is interfering with my control over him"
"That same thing must be the reason you failed to absorb him" the elf tightened it jaw slightly
She continued "our skills were given to us by a universal scripture" she shut her eyes as the wind brushed against her jelly like surface
"Because of this it should have been impossible for the ratman to survive your absorption" she open her eyes "because of this, I want you to monitor him"
"Why do we not just kill him and absorb his skills then" the elf spoke
"Because the thing thats interfering, is separate from his soul" she looked back the elf "now just study his grow once we understand everything you can kill him"
"The contract?" the elf spoke in a gentle tone
"Do not concern yourself with that" she smirked "I still two tokens"
The elf nodded "then am I supposed to protect the ratman until we understand this interference"
She shock her head "simply watch him, his life is not your responsibility"
The elf smiled and walked to the tree leaving the queen alone with her thoughts
"I will regain that universal scripture" her hand balled to fists as she stare blankly at the sky

While others were plotting for wars Vice sat at the bar counter sipping his drink
He stumbled across the bar when he was walking around the city, the place was empty everything valuable had been taken
All that remained in the city were some drink,food,clothes,furniture and few lousy rats
It broke his heart when he couldn't find anything useful
"Thud"
He slammed the glass on to the wooden counter, reached for the bottle and poured it
He wasted most of his time trying to think about how to deal with his contract but no matter how much he thought about he could do nothing
"Damn bitch" he gulped down the bottle, the contract benefited the slime more than it benefited him because of this he couldn't make another with some else to terminate his contract
He looked outside the bar to the portal floating in the middle of the streets
He sneered as a few rats kept entering the portal, he gulped the bottle "damn it"
'I have to live with fucking rodents' he turned to the counter 'those motherfuckers are useless'
'For them to reproduce properly, I have to make sure they not in a stressful situation' he took another gulp 'but if I do that I'll have to slow down their training schedule'
"Thud"
The empty bottled slammed into the counter 'if I slow down their training schedule it will take years for them to get ready to fight against the association'
He sighed as he reached for the glass 'with the rats I tried to force them to get stronger ignoring their mental states, that why those fuckers failed to reproduce'
He gulped the beer in the cup 'those rats won't blindly follow my commends and the mice are to simple minded to be fully useful in a war'
"Thud"
He slammed the glass on to the counter 'and then if I want my revenge, I have to survive that slime bitch'
He wobbled of his chair bumping into other chairs 'I shouldn't have drank that much'
A sleeping bag appeared in his hands 'I'll worry about this tomorrow'
His grabbed his head as he dropped the bag to the floor 'fuck I have to make a back up celestial ratman in case Gordon breaks under pressure'
'But who' he grabbed his chin and looked at the system then he shock his head remembering his words
'No I told Gordon I'll turn them if they survive' he grinned as he looked at the sleeping back
"Thud" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
He dropped to his knees then he went face first to the bag
