Chapter 648: Dissimilar Companions (1/2)

After Angil was exposed, the surviving arcane masters from the Doa Royal Palace war finally realized why the strongest arcane masters and Dragons fell in the war despite gaining absolute superiority against the Evil Dragon Army.

It was because the Evil Dragon Army already knew the alliance army’s movements beforehand.

If not for Ayrin’s group arriving in time, even Liszt’s team might be killed.

With Ferguillo cleaning up Eichemalar, order rapidly returned.

However, in many other areas of the Kingdom of Eiche and most of the Kingdom of Doa, the situation was still chaotic.

......

Western region of the Kingdom of Doa, Shisu Plains.

It was a land known for its abundant production of herbs used for medical treatment. It originally belonged to the Bolt Household.

However, after the flames of war ravaged this land, the Bolt Household was no more. The prospering manor was in ruins.

If not for personally witnessing it, nobody could believe that weeds would grow this fast over a few months.

Even the abandoned houses and flat roads were covered in weeds.

However, seeing such a spectacle, Malsis was only filled with expectation and joy.

He and his subordinates were originally bandit teams wandering around in the Western region of the Kingdom of Doa. Their nickname was ‘Weasle’.

They could only commit some minor crimes of theft and had to hide from the public eye at all times.

A mere hunting dog could tear them apart.

However, it was different now.

The resurrection of the Evil Dragon was unrelated to Malsis.

They were too weak to pick a side.

If the Evil Dragon demanded their submission, they just had to submit.

However, as long as water still irrigated this plain, they could easily replace the Bolt Household here.

Once Malsis recalled the past glory and wealth of the Bolt Household, the countless wines and luxuries, his steps became light.

The water current seemed to be giving off a different sound than usual.

Malsis became alerted, then startled.

He could see a naked infant next to the crystal clear river.

It was a boy. His skin was white and he seemed to be sleeping.

Did he flow down the river?

Malsis walked up to the child and became astonished.

He could sense a vibrant life force.

It represented an outstanding talent. The infant might become a powerful arcane master in the future.

A thought flashed across his mind and he picked the boy up.

When he did so, the boy opened his eyes.

His pupils were grey, revealing a cruel and greedy gaze.

A chill ran down Malsis’s spine. However, before he could react, the boy’s soft-looking hands pierced through his arm. A flow of particles instantly invaded his body.

Sss......

Malsis and the boy both drew a sharp breath at the same time. Malsis was filled with fear, while the infant was filled with excitement.

Malsis’s body rapidly withered, his life force being absorbed by the boy.

What kind of monster is this?

Malsis’s mind turned blank.

In the last moments of clarity, he was filled with deep regret.

Such a meaningless death.

Someone like me can even get killed in this kind of devastated land without any tactical value.

If I’m going to die meaningless like this, I would rather die in the battlefield.

Bam!

His body completely withered and collapsed.

The infant licked his lips greedily and stood up. He had grown a little taller. His skin remained snow white, but a pale layer of grey crystal light seeped out from his body.

A black-robed woman walked over.

She was Jeriya.

However, other than her usual creepy expression, her brows now also showed that she was deep in thought.

She gave off the feeling of a cold-blooded arcane master killer and assassin at the start, but she seemed more like a scholar or mother right now.

“Well done. You have completed the first mission your father gave you. You can hunt for food yourself now.” She spoke to the boy with a praising gaze.

The boy showed an innocent smile and jumped into her bosom.

While he buried his head into her chest, he revealed a greedy gaze again. Chilling grey crystal light shone on his teeth.

Psst......

A thorny black light exploded between his mouth and Jeriya’s chest.
