Despereaux was the more aggressive of the three and I wanted to eliminate him from the situation first. With my rapier and one of my daggers equipped in my hands, I sprang forward and used my Backstab skill before any of them could detect me. I stabbed him through the heart with the rapier and it was a critical hit. It gave a devastating amount of damage with all the buffs for the sneak attack from behind. The three Protectors looked on in horror as the blade went through his chest and then slid back out with a wet sound. I followed it up with slitting his throat with the dagger. Despereaux fell to the ground with critical damage. The fact that he was even still alive was due to his overwhelming strength. His fight with Souris loosened him up. Ange was furious and was about to attack me when Souris slashed him across the chest. "Stay down, Ange. I have to do this myself" he said coldly as he returned to his fighting stance. Ange was still up and glared at his former comrade. "I will take you both down for this. I don't have the time for mercy anymore" he said.
The two of them began fighting again. I continued to stab Despereaux in the back until he was dead. Before I could land the final blow, Despereaux said "How could this happen!? I struggled and survived stronger monsters than you. I beat the odds for this! There's no doubt in my mind. Canan Hawks. You're a Devil!" I stabbed him in the skull and his body jolted before going still. This was the first time I had killed a NPC. I mostly took fetch quests and missions for the guild. His body disappeared but a dark green miasma rose and clung to me. I check my status and I saw it was called "Protector Murderer". It was a deep stigma against the Protectors and any of them that came across me could kill me on sight. The range was all of Polo Island and the duration was infinite. It seemed that I also had to flee the island with the others. The other Protectors stopped what they were doing. "I was going to bring you in, but I can't after what I just seen. You're dead Canan!" Ange yelled before he charged me. It was not something I would be able to doge in the hallway.
Just as he was going to bring down the broadsword down on me, Souris impaled his chest. It was too much damage for Ange. "...Why? We were comrades... since we were... born. I... always respected... you. What happened to... you?" he asked with his last breath. His body disappeared and was covered in the same stigma. "I did it! I am free. Now, I'm going to kill you over and over" he said before cackling in laughter. I shook my head. "You really don't care about your mission anymore, do you? If I'd have to become a traitor to get revenge, I would choose to not let them get to me. What are you going to do? Even if you could take me hostage somewhere, all of the other Protectors on the island will search for us endlessly. Even at rank 9, someone will kill you" I said. He shrugged and said "Let them try. Aside from my master, only eight people ever were stronger than me. Three of them died in the final test. Chat ran away. I'll survive longer than you think". "I guess since you're life is lie, you don't care about loyalty any more. That's Devilish thinking" I mocked.
He held his head in pain for a moment and said "You monster. Call me that again and I will rip out your tongue!" he snapped. I smirked and said "You wanted to know the truth before, right? Unless you really want to want to die without knowing anything?" He glared at me and said "The stuff with my dick, is it really true? I can't believe something like that". I shrugged and said "Sex feels really good with your dick. Males are supposed to mate using them. It's the reason it's there in the first place. Anal sex is painful at first as your ass was not meant to be penetrated. You can train yourself to enjoy it and actually feel lots of pleasure from it. All of the comfort men did feel like they wanted to do it and actually enjoy it. But they only thought that because they were taught that they should want to feel that way". Souris groaned again and held his head in pain. "I'm going to kill you and figure it out for myself" he said. I just rolled my eyes. "With that stigma you have, you will be killed on sight" I said. He glared at me. "How about this? You masturbate with your dick, I'll let you kill me" I said.
