Chapter 356 - 309 : Ranka Hnach (2/2)

His ears were focused on her constantly beating heart while his eyes followed the flow of her internal and external energy. Any sudden fluctuation of either of them will prove that she's either lying or hiding something.

”I hate useless talks, tell me why did you try to kill me.”

The first thing that he noticed was her accelerating heart rate but her flow of energy remained stable. She didn't take too much time to reply

”You had something I needed.”

The last word she said caused a slight disruption in her flow of energy. Although her heart was accelerating due to fear or just to trick him, she couldn't trick his eyes.

Unhesitantly, Arthur manipulated the black chains which ruthlessly wrapped around her arm and tore it off causing huge amounts of blood to gush out. The woman groaned painfully but didn't scream from the unimaginable agony. She indeed has a strong will but it's not like Arthur cared.

”That will be the last time. One more lie and I shall steal your memories.”

[Dark Extraction] is really useful in this situation but the cost was too much. Not only would it make him dizzy for a while, but it also consumes Mental Power and weakens him for a considerable amount of time which is not worth it.

Before she spoke again, she coughed a bit of blood then resumed talking

”My master is searching for a specific cane which is in your possession.”

Arthur was momentarily confused before he thought of Sol'khin's cane, which he was never able to appraise or use ever since he got it.

”Why does he need it?”

”I don't know.”

This time, she truly wasn't lying so Arthur didn't do anything but he was still curious about the identity of her master.

”Who is your master?”

The snake woman shut her mouth tight and refused to reply to this question. Seeing this, Arthur didn't bother asking again and grabbed her head and initiated [Dark Extraction]. He just couldn't let this matter slide and facing an enemy he doesn't know about is extremely disadvantageous and dangerous.

Just as the skill was about to take effect, a blinding white light suddenly emitted from the woman's forehead, forcing the darkness around his hand to vanish and even going after Arthur.

Fortunately, another power, which resided in his consciousness, showed up and faced this strange white light. It was none other than a miniature Curtis, who grabbed the white light and simply flung it the way it came from. Once this matter was dealt with, he swiftly went back to Arthur's consciousness.

The momentary white light which came out of the woman's forehead was able to not only negate [Dark Extraction], it even destroyed the black chains around the woman.

This gave her enough time to retrieve her precious dimensional stone and crush it. As she did that, an irresistible spatial suction started enveloping her, however, at the same time, a horrifying aura shrouded the area and made her fragile body tremble uncontrollably.

The last thing she saw before she teleported was a broken jet black blade which was slashed at her. Luckily, she escaped before it her but she soon discovered that fleeing from Arthur wasn't that easy, even with dimensional stone.

A burning black mark appeared on her right hand and an illusory black slash mark was engraved on her chest. It did no physical damage but it seriously damaged her soul and weakened her by more than 40%.

The dimensional stone would teleport someone to a random place, it could even take the user another universe. As she looked around her, the woman sighed as she sensed no danger.

The urgency of going back to her master and reporting to her master was bugging her, however, she was barely able to walk properly due to the damage done by the chains and Makaze.
