Chapter 171 - 162.3 : Bring Me To Your Nes (2/2)

The silence didn't last for long, a small rustle broke it and forced the sleeping youth's ears to twitch for a second. He calmly looked at the wall in front of him and spoke with a hint of coldness

”Who's there? You better show up or else you'll end up more miserable.”

Despite saying that, nothing occurred. He looked at the wall and spread his Sense but he found nothing. The youth glanced at Vyncent and said:

”You brought unwelcomed guests! How could you not notice them!”

Although it was just a noise, the youth was sure that it was not the wind or some rogue beast. However, unlike the youth, Vyncent was sure he was not followed and only thought of it as a hiding snake.

Vyncent shrugged his shoulders and retorted

”Why would I be followed? How about you?”

”Nonsense! I came here three days ago yet nothing happened but the moment you came, something happens!”

At this point, the youth was panicking a bit. His Realm was high and he wasn't able to notice the opponent, which only meant the enemy was stronger than him and good at hiding. If he were to be sneak-attacked, he would only die miserably.

In a fit of fear, the youth punched the wall in front of him shattering it and creating a huge whole, even the whole tower shook as it suffered a strong shock.

Seeing nothing but huge boulders belonging to the mountain, the youth calmed down but the panic didn't vanish yet.

”We need to leave this place immediately, we'll meet with Elder Tian and the Dun brothers will catch up.”

As he said that, he prepared to jump from the building but the rustling noise entered his ears again. The youth felt chills run down his spines and before he could speak again, an explosion rang from behind him and at the same time, held felt at the lower part of his body.

As he looked down, the youth saw a dark green vine as thick as a thigh penetrating him from his back and coming out of his chest. Blood leaked out of his mouth as he stared dumbfoundedly at the hole creating by the vine, which already retracted from his chest.

Vyncent was as shocked as the youth, however, he didn't linger for an extra second, the moment he saw the vine strike the youth, he used his secret technique and melted in the earth along with Alina, who was just next to him, still unconscious.

Unfortunately, when he melted on the ground and was preparing to start fleeing again, a cool and calm voice rang in his ears and his body was forcefully ejected from the ground and rolled two times before he was able to stabilize it.

Vyncent's hands were involuntarily shaking as he immediately recognized that voice, it was rooted in his memory the moment Arthur appeared in the prison and was further deepened when he saw how strong were his Golem and the weird book but what's scarier is that red-haired youth.

Raising his head, Vyncent saw the black-robed man with long gray-hair and two deep gray eyes that looked at him calmly.

”Y,you..... how did you find me?”

When he was asking that, he heard rustling noise near him and subconsciously trembled, he then saw Alina's body being enveloped by a thick dark green vine then disappeared into the hole at the center of the tower.

”If I'm not wrong, you are not in a position to ask me, am I right?”

Clenching his trembling hands, Vyncent's mouth opened but he couldn't utter any word, he knew that begging for his life is useless. After spending a few seconds in fear and thinking of a solution, he sighed and spoke:

”Fine, I give up, what do you want from me?”

Arthur clapped his hands and comfortably sat on the hard bed, his eyes never left Vyncent.

”Now that is wise, it's unnecessary to cause pointless bloodshed....”

He stopped there for a second as he glanced at the pool of blood near the youth, who had already died from the lethal poison of the vine.

”... of course, some people need to die but some can be spared.... if they are useful and first and foremost, honest.”

Nodding his head in approval to Arthur, Vyncent lifted his hands and replied with a somewhat forced laugh

”Hahahaha.... you are correct. If I may, what does Mr. Arthur want from me?”

Arthur sat on the bed with a pondering expression and a hand on his chin, after a few seconds passed, he lifted his hand and pointed a finger at Vyncent whilst saying

”First, eat this.”

As he said that, a strange fireball the size of a thumb appeared from his finger, it had a creepy looking eyes and some kind of crone merged on the top of its head, it slowly floated toward Vyncent, who stared it with complete fear.
