Chapter 230: Brother Don’t Cry (2/2)

Good thing that his 5d-Seer was able to consume a higher rank mutated beast. Its beast's soul gave him a buff that increased his speed. It was a speed-type mutated beast with the rank of BB. A cat-like beast with yellowish eyes and a pair of two tails.

The beast's soul also gives him an additional 10% damage at any surprise-attack he did to the enemy. It was one of the reasons why he needed to ambush him.

The trap was hard to discern using ordinary eyes. It was a coalition of magical energy that was hidden 1 foot below the ground, and it had a diameter of five meters.

So whenever the enemy stepped around the range, it would trigger the trap. He named this trap of his as--

”Woah! Look at that! Our brother Silent Killer is so cautious!”

”Right! He was even laying his favorite trap. Wait, what he called it again?”

”Oh, that technique of his?”

”Yeah!”

”He called it as-- Brother Don't Cry!”

”Dammmmn! So cooooool!”

”Rip him! Brother Killer!”

”Shred that presumptuous newbie!”

”Too bad, you can't even loot the newbie as it has trash equipment!” One person shook his head in regret. If only the newbie had expensive equipment. Brother Killer could loot his equipment.

The gung-ho crowd was ever so silent inside the Citadel.

It wasn't only below the ground that Silent Killer planted his traps. Honestly, inside a tree, or even in its branches, the traps were lying. They were scattered all around the place.

After his preparations were done, he hid in the bushes while waiting for his opponent to come. He made sure to lay the traps in the area where the enemy would have a high probability of passing by.

To make sure that the enemy would pass by in the area of traps, he cut one of the trees around using a strong strike of Slicing The Heaven Technique.

The technique was passed down to the descendants of his family. But not all would receive it. Only the select few would.

Fortunately, he was one of the lucky descendants who received the technique. It enabled him to increase his attack and sharpen his blade for five seconds.

Silent Killer waited for quite a few minutes. He even lowered his presence if ever the enemy could perceive magical energy from a person. However, the chance was low.

Creak!

Silent Killer squinted his eyes when he heard a cracking noise. His mouth twitched and formed a smile.

He was peeking in the direction that he believed the enemy would come out. Not long after, the creaking noise becomes closer and closer. He readied the weapons in his hands. He would attack him the second that the trap takes its effect.

Based on the sound, he believed that the distance of the enemy from his trap wasn't far by now. 'A few seconds later, this newbie will be crying out of shame because of the things I planned to do to him! Hehe!' He thought inwardly.

While he was thinking of some funny outcome that his enemy would embarrass himself, later on, he suddenly felt a dull sound from his back.

”.....”

A puzzled expression appeared on his face when his body fell to the ground. He was having a blank face while staring at the ground and-- feet

For some reason, he could not move his body! Puzzled at what was happening, his pupils moved to the corner of his eyes, to glance upward.

And there he saw the white-haired Encan starting down at him with an expression of---pity?!! Pity towards him!?

'Dammit! What was happening!?' His eyes trembled as he shouted in his mind.

”.....”

He could not even summon his strength to his body and limbs. It seemed like he could not feel his body at all!!!

”What--?” His eyes turned white when a headless body fell on the ground beside him.

Wait! He could identify the body! It was his body! But why was his body lying beside him?!

Before his mind could process what was happening, a foot came stepping on his face.

He wanted to shout-- out of pain, but no voice came out of his throat. The pain of having his skull crushed to pieces was felt by him in full.

The next second, he found himself staring at the white ceiling. It was a familiar ceiling of the private room in the Citadel.

How come?

Ding!

Just right after asking, a notification popped up in front of him. Saying that he lost in the match against The Mysterious Ranker.

Eh?

It wasn't only him that was stupefied; everyone watching their battle was gaping in disbelief. Especially his friends. They suddenly fell silent with shocked faces.
