The Locked System

The Prince wears a shiny black armor with a black sword on his waist, he has a solemn face but he doesn't emit that air of prepotency that his brother has

The Guild Master smiled at the prince and guides him to the couch were the Vice-Guild Master was sit. The Vice-Guild Master stands and walks behind the couch as well the Guild Master letting the prince sit alone

When the Prince sat, Harduid was the first one to speak to him " What brings you here prince? you know that no rank S or greater thinks to get involved with the dispute between you and your brother "

The Prince smiles and says " I'm not here for that, I wanted to do a job and for that job, I need the help of all of you "

Hayato and everyone adventurer had frowning expressions then Vandrour asks " Then what do you want to do that needs so many Rank-S adventurers? "

The Guild Master makes a serious expression and says " All of you know that the prince here is a certified S-Rank adventurer "

" Not all of us " Said Dworshak with a smile as he sees Hayato

" So, he is the new one and who is she? " Said the Guild Master with a curious face

Hayato smiles pointing at her and says " She is my partner, now what are you saying, Guild Master "

The Guild Master smiles and says " Well, the Prince discovered a problem in the Loran desert "

" A problem? what kind of problem? " Asked Vandrour with a serious face

The Prince makes a serious face and says " A partner of mine traveled through the Loran desert, there, he was attacked by a group of Death Worms, he fought at least 7 of them at the same time "

Aaron makes doubtful expression and says " Death Worms? excuse me, but Death Worms are solitary creatures, they only meet to mate, what are you saying is impossible "

The Guild Master turns to see him with a serious face and says " I can confirm that Joe, the Prince partner came back with lacerations made by circular bites, all of them are from different sizes, he is alive but he lost an arm and a leg in the fight "

Harduid began stroking his beard with a solemn face " Umm, that is really unusual behavior, I never heard about something like that in my whole life "

Hayato turns to see the Prince and says " Then, what do you want to do? "

The Prince sees Hayato and says " We will exterminate that group of Death Worms, we can't let them reach the villages on the desert "

" Are you sure that there is only 1 group of Death Worms? " Dworshak asked with a serious face

The Prince shakes his head and says " No, that's why I need your help, the group could be bigger or they could be more than 1 group "

Aaron makes an annoyed face and speaks " Yes, yes, yes, now who much are you gonna pay us? we don't work for free at least not me " The Prince saw him with a calm face but the three Dwarfs frown seeing him

" Money isn't more important than the lives of the innocent " Harduid respond him with a solemn face

Aaron sees him with a mocking grin and says " What are you saying, old man? if you are going to make this job for free, that's your problem, but I don't work for free "

Harduid frowns and snorts " Hmph, yes, I will do this work for free, just pay my son and grandchild "

" Well, calm down, Aaron, don't make hurried conclusions, Harduid, you don't need to make the mission for free " the Guild Master spoke with a serious face

The Prince nods with a smile and says " The Guild Master is right, I will pay all of you with my own money, after all, Joe is my friend and I can't let those things attack a village "

" Then, when we will go? " Hayato asked with a calm face

" That's not important, brat! " Aaron sees him with disdain and then he turns to see the Prince " How much "

The Prince now has an angered expression and says " 5 gold coins per group, so, you are in or not? "

Aaron smirks and says " In that case, I accept " then he walks to the door with his two partners behind him

" We will leave in 3 hours " The Prince said before Aaron left

The blond girl turns around and says with a smile " Sorry, for our partner "

" We will wait for all of you at the entrance " The voluptuous woman smiled and she left with the blond girl

" That brat is still as annoying as ever, now prince, you don't want to wait for Violet group? all of them are SS-Rank adventurers " Said Dworshak with a serious face

The Prince shivers a little and he says with a nervous voice " N-No I want to keep this mission as a secret "

" Haha, then we will leave " Vandrour laughed and the three Dwarfs stand and leave

Hayato stayed and sees the Vice-Guild master and says " I want the reward for the Banshee "

" What!? he is the one who went to kill the Banshee? " The Guild Master makes a surprised face even the prince was like him

The Vice-Guild Master smiles and nods " Ok, but you have any proof? "

Hayato shakes his head and says " Unfortunately, no, I destroyed her until she was reduced to dust, so... "

The Vice-Guild Master crosses his arms and says " Hmm, Ok I will give you the reward, but if you lie you have to return it, I will send someone to check the place later " then he gives 4 golden coins to Hayato

Hayato grabbed the gold coins and says " That's good for me, but tell them to be beware there is a Vampire Vine there "

The Guild Master frowns and says " A Vampire Vine? it wasn't there a couple of days ago "

Hayato makes a serious face suddenly " Hmm!? "

" What's wrong, kid? " Asked the Vice-Guild Master

" I'm sorry, but I have something very important to do, so I will leave, let's go Alyra " Hayato stands and walks to the door

" Ok, it was a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e " Alyra shows a humble smile and she leaves after Hayato

The Guild Master makes a grin seeing the door " Hmm, that young man is the one you said before, right? "

The Vice-Guild Master nods and says " Yes, he has great power and he is hiding more, that's for sure "

The Prince sees the Vice-Guild Master with a serious face " Are you sure that he will be alright in this mission? the Death Worms almost kill Joe and he is an Amateur Sky Warrior "

" Yes, he will be alright if not I will protect him and those girls that are with him" The Vice-Guild Master showed a serious face

" I see, my useless brother put his eyes in them if the other two are like the woman that came with him I can understand why " The Prince grins

The Guild Master makes a teasing smile as he sees the Prince and says " If Violet could hear you, I wonder what kind of face she would make "

The Prince shivers again " Uh... "

The Vice-Guild Master laughs happily " Haha, let's prepare everything, I will go with you "

" What happened Hayato? " Asked Alyra with concern

Hayato grabs Alyra's hand and he guides her to a secluded place then he says " My clone already disappeared "

Alyra makes a surprised face " What!? but not even twenty minutes have passed "

" Take my hand, I will teleport there " Alyra grabs Hayato's hand and they disappeared

Hayato and Alyra appeared beside Maya, the clone already disappeared and Dye's body was glowing with a dark blue light

Maya sees them with surprise and says " What took you so long...? well, that doesn't matter, Hayato, quick help her! "

Hayato nods and he activates his Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) at full power to then walk beside Dye

" ....!? " Hayato surprises after his lightning armor was being pulled by Dye's body ' What's this? she is absorbing my energy like crazy! ' After half an hour something happened

" Hayato! She is changing! " Alyra yelled as she pointed to the sleeping Dye. Dye's body doubles its size * CRACK * causing the bed to collapse, her fangs grew until they were like the fangs of a saber tooth tiger, the fur of her shoulders grows a little and now she has some dark blue hairs scattered all over her black hair

" ....!? " Maya, Alyra, and Hayato see Dye with surprise. Hayato makes a wry smile and deactivates his Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) ' Now I can't feel her presence, she became stronger than me? '

Dye opens her eyes that now are ice-blue, she stands up releasing a pressure that frightened Maya and Alyra. Hayato frowns seeing her then Dye begins to walk towards him as she transforms

Dye takes a human form, she looks more m.a.t.u.r.e with a very sensual body, her face changed, she now looks more elegant with a thin outline, high nose, cherry lips that look really soft at first sight and a sharp chin. Her hair has the same size but now is dark-blue, she has some bangs at both sides of her face

Dye walked until she was face to face with Hayato, he looked her up because now she was taller than before, Hayato raised an eyebrow after she showed him a lovely smile with her eyes a little narrow. Maya and Alyra only saw them without saying any word

" Are you okay? " Asked Hayato with doubt, but she only smiled widely and then she hugs him tightly

" Dye? " Hayato surprises, after all, she is n.a.k.e.d, so he could feel her large bosom rubbing on his c.h.e.s.t, Alyra and Maya raised her eyebrows by the surprise but just when they were about to tell her something, Dye licks Hayato's face passing from his chin through his lips, eyebrows, and forehead

" Dye! " Yelled Maya and Alyra in shock while Hayato was perplexed

Dye turns to see them with an annoyed face and she says " Oh, come on, he was my mate from the start, so you two will stay there for the moment " Dye's voice changed too now she sounds more m.a.t.u.r.e and enchanting

" .... " Maya and Alyra were speechless by Dye's behavior

Dye smiled but Hayato separates from her, making her pout, then he says " Dye, I don't know what happened to you but first put these clothes " and he throws her, her usual clothes but those are bigger than the previous ones

Dye was pouting seeing Hayato, but she puts the clothes. After she puts the clothes she says " Now come here " and she hugs him again

" Dye, you are acting very different " Said Maya with a smile but she is noticeably angry

Dye sees her with a smile and says " We already talked about this, no? so why are you so angry? let me have him a little bit "

Maya raises her eyebrows and Hayato says " Ok, what happened to you "

Dye sees him without releasing it and says " I evolved, with the help of the Dragon's heart and your help, let's say that before I was a young teenager and now I'm a young a.d.u.l.t "

" So, that's what happened, now can you tell me what kind of power you have " Hayato asked with a grin

" I don't know " Dye responds with a clueless smile

Maya laughs and says " Haha, well, you are still you, from what I feel, maybe you are an Intermediate Sky Warrior "

Alyra makes a shocked expression and says " Wow, her powers grow so much "

Hayato smiles and says " Yes, that's awesome, but you two are staying behind, so you better catch her before the gap becomes wider "

" Yes " Alyra responded with a smile but Maya with a resolute face

" Now, I will go to make a mission " Hayato said with a calm face

" A mission? now? " Said Maya with surprise

Hayato nods and says " Yes, is a personal request from the Prince and now that I only need 10,000 System Points is a good chance "

Maya has a hopeful expression " Ok, Hayato then... " but she was interrupted by Hayato

" No, Dye, stay here to watch them, force them if you have to, you can have this " Hayato gives her the collar of the adventurers guild to her, Maya was pouting seeing Hayato

Dye grabs the collar and says " Yes, Hayato but can you lend us some money I'm hungry after my evolution "

Hayato smiles as he shakes his head " Haha, you are still the same, here buy something good " and he gives her a golden coin

Hayato turns to see Alyra and he says " Now before I go, Alyra give me your sword "

" Ok " Alyra gives him her sword with a curious face then Hayato put the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Jutsu) marks on her sword, Alyra smiles and grabs the sword back

" Hmm " Hayato sees Dye and then he says " Dye, I will put that in your clothes "

Dye smiles and says " Yes " then Hayato puts them on the backside of her shirt

" Now, I will leave " Hayato turns around and leaves, leaving Maya and Alyra with worried expressions, until...

" Now you two, if you really want to go with him anywhere you better train, I will help you " Dye spoke with a proud smile

Maya raises an eyebrow seeing her but then " *SIGH* I hate to say this, but you are right "

Dye nods proudly and says " Of course, but first, let's eat something"

On a Hostel

An Adventurer enters a room and he kneels to a young man " My lord that guy is leaving the kingdom again "

The young man was Roland and he smiles coldly " Haha, perfect my father almost arrives, we will ambush him outside, prepare the men we will leave now "

" Yes, my lord " And the Adventurer leaves the room

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the castle of the Shakhtar Kingdom

A knight enters a huge room decored with a lot of paints and statues, he walked to a luxurious bed where a n.a.k.e.d young man was lying between two beautiful n.a.k.e.d women with lifeless eyes full of tears, the knight kneels beside the bed and says " My lord, your brother will leave the kingdom with a few S-Rank adventurers "

" I see then this is his last day, hehe " The young man laughed coldly as he c.a.r.e.s.ses one of the woman's hair

" And my lord " The knight spoke with a serious voice making the young man turn to see him with doubt " What? "

" That guy you wanted us to follow is going to with him " The Knight said with a calm voice

The young man saw him with a huge smile and says " Really? hahaha, that's perfect, I can get rid of them at the same time, haha, oh my big brother, you don't know what is waiting for you on the Loran desert "
