The Transcenders

Chapter 46 - Obscure Guild (1)

Part 6: Obscure Guild

Ejiro Sani walked with his greatsword sheathed on his back, Seth Rayn strode behind him in a black robe, hitting the ground with his staff, and Gabriella Rivampe followed while keeping her distance.

A sudden sunray glistened Seth's staff and Ejiro's sword, causing them to look towards the origin of the light and sigh with relief. They had travelled a long way and finally arrived at the southern edge of the Obscure Guild.

They walked a bit more before finding a table to rest by the seaside. They were on top of a cliff, the ground beneath them dropping off sharply to reveal a gigantic port below, the calm waters stretching out as far as the eye could see.

"This is the port of the Obscure Guild," Gabriella explained. "Boats come in and out of here, and it's also a popular vacation spot. But we're not here for a vacation."

To the southwest, multiple resorts lined up next to each other, each with its beach and attractions. The commercial zone wasn't far from there.

However, what interested them was a sewage outfall in the shape of a dam to the southeast, where a massive sewer poured dirty, putrid water into the sea. The pipe was big enough for a human to walk in.

"Let's find a place to eat. We'll go there later." Ejiro smiled as he showed Seth and Gabriella the paper money he had stolen from Shroud City's governor.

...

After a short break, they arrived at the sewage outfall and walked on top of the structure's crest. Seth leaned on the edge and looked at the long, narrow slope to spot the pipe.

"This looks promising. Let's go down."

In his vampiric form, Ejiro put his arm around Seth and flew down with him. Gabriella also activated her vampiric form and jumped down, her wings spread wide as she descended.

They flew towards the sewer. Once inside, Ejiro dropped off Seth. It was dark and damp inside the pipe. Thankfully, Ejiro was a light magician. He lit up the path with a glowing orb of light

"Well, let's see where this leads us."

The farther in they went, the more profuse the stench became. Gabriella pinched her nose in disgust, "Won't this water get us sick?"

Seth walked in front, his staff tapping against the slimy ground. "It's the safest route. Once we get in the second layer, you'll be the guide, Gabriella."

...

Northeast Gate, Obscure Guild.

The droid, DP20-X, stopped the floating vehicle and asked the guards to be let through. Luo sat next to him. Jenna, Aaron and Isaac were in the back.

After driving through the night, they had arrived at one of the big gates leading into Obscure Guild's outer ring. The guild's wall seemed even taller from the outside.

Unsurprisingly, since the Obscure Guild was isolated from the rest of the world, they were the only ones waiting for the guards to let them pass. There were no other vehicles, and a path strictly determined where to and not to go. If someone ventured too far offroad, they'd risk getting blown up by people or machinery.

The immense metallic door finally opened, and the android safely drove through.

When Luo asked where they were going, the robot hesitantly responded that they would meet his creator in the outer ring, the first layer.

...

After another hour passed by, they finally arrived at their destination.

Isaac was the first one to get out of the vehicle. They hadn't seen the Northeast City clearly because of the vehicle's tinted glass. He was stunned by its original appearance.
