Chapter 571: First Glance (2)

Translator: _Leo_Editor: Kurisu

The window of the carriage was opened; it was quiet and cold outside.

The forest was deadly silent in the night, the only thing that brightened up the area was the gentle moonlight.

Angele left the carriage quietly. There were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes.

A dark-red string appeared in the forest. The string came from the carriage and quickly expanded deep into the forest.

Angele started following the direction pointed by the string.

He left the camp and the carriages quickly. About ten minutes later, he heard people talking ahead but the wind blurred their voices.

”If it wasn't for you, things would never end up like this!” It sounded like a middle-aged man.

”I told you that I don't know…” The other voice sounded speechless.

”We should've… You promised… Are you trying to…?” The man sounded a bit anxious but the important words were drowned out by the wind.

Angele activated his stealth technique and lightened his footsteps while moving forward. He could finally hear the voice clearly.

He looked at the two people who were talking through the gaps between the bushes but their faces were hard to see under the moonlight. One of them was a mercenary he saw earlier, the other one was a girl in a white outfit. Her skin was clean and her hair was smooth.

'Wait…'

Angele was a bit surprised, he moved closer to the two people and observed the girl carefully. The girl had no breasts and had Adam's apple on her neck. He checked the girl using the mentality wave and realized that it was a man that looked like a girl.

Under the moonlight, the man's cheeks looked pink. He was staring at the middle-aged mercenary with anger in his eyes.

”Do you really think I'll forgive you? No way! If you didn't let that guy leave, we would've succeeded. I'll get everything sorted out tonight.”

He took out a pair of black daggers with spikes on the blades. The spikes looked purple under the moonlight.

”Silence!” the man shouted and the two daggers released intense purple light.

All the sounds in the area suddenly disappeared, the effective area of that ability was quite large.

The middle-aged man was surprised, he wanted to say something else but nothing was coming out of his mouth. The man approached the mercenary with the daggers in hand; the mercenary was anxious, he tried to communicate with the man using hand gestures.

The man's expression changed.

”Cut his throat!” The man's voice echoed and an invisible blade appeared at the mercenary's throat.

*DING*

The middle-aged mercenary fell to the ground and a masked woman in black appeared in front of him. The woman had a sharp claw on her hand which blocked the invisible blade.

The mask covered the woman's face, Angele assumed her gender because of her breasts; also, she did not have Adam's apple.

With a flick of her finger, the invisible blade was pushed away, and the blade quickly disappeared into the forest.

”Who are you?” The man looked at the woman in black. ”You're strong since you handled my talent ability like it was nothing.”

He swang his black daggers and the purple light quickly disappeared.

”I'll just eliminate you if you don't want to talk! Darkness!” the man shouted.

Thick black fog appeared in the forest and covered all the objects in the area.

Angele was almost caught in the smoke, he quickly took more than 30 steps back but he could no longer figure out what was going on in the smoke.

His brow furrowed as red glow surrounded his eyes. He partially activated his true form so that he could see through the smoke.

There were countless tiny insects in the dark smoke; strange substances released by the insects reflected the light in the area—that was why the smoke looked so thick.

Angele's partially activated true form did not help him see through the smoke.

'Such power… It's not a spell. It's more like the power of a bloodline…' Angele compared the energy movements and concluded thus.

Around two minutes later, the thick smoke finally disappeared into the air.

Angele watched the smoke disappear; suddenly, his sight blurred as a black shadow charged toward him.

He quickly raised his hand to block the attack.

*BAM*

The center of Angele's palm was pierced; the wound looked like a large bloody hole. All the flesh was gone and it almost looked that something took a bite off his hand.

The woman in black appeared in front of Angele and started attacking him like crazy.
