5 days before the release of the Invidia Overlord.
Zaria's PoV:
From the top of the trees, I was grasping one of the branches with my feet while in my half-beast form. From there, I could "hear" the drama play out down on the ground.
A pair of ruffians clad in black kimonos and armed with katanas were patrolling through the brush close to the suspicious building that was spewing out Demonic Seawater. The men are using a lantern, probably to cast some light on their situation, but it only made them an easier-to-spot target for the guys downstairs.
One of the men could hear a branch snap in the bushes and impulsively walked over to see what it was.
His comrade was calmer and tried to stop him, but before the calmer ruffian could let out a voice, a black-dressed, small-sized short stuff emerged from the shadows and knocked him unconscious before dragging his body into the shadows while leaving the lantern behind in the air through a Shadow-type spell.
