Chapter 275 - The Hooded Ones (2/2)

Sound of footsteps came from behind him. He turned around to face the source of the noise. It seemed like it was a group of 10-15 people coming his way.

He held out his hand and the glaive which had been laying on the platform starting shaking and suddenly flew into his grasp. (Imagine Thor calling Mjolnir)

This was one of the many perks of having a living weapon.

Living weapons could understand and respond to their masters wishes. When the bond between the user and the weapon was strong enough, they could even take human forms.

After stepping into the Spirit Realm, information regarding many such abilities had become available to him. Every now and then he could even hear whispers from the glaive, it seemed like it was eager to speak up but couldn't right now.

With the glaive in his hand, he stepped as far back from the platform as possible while still maintaining visual on it, i.e at the edge of his now 37-meter radius line of sight.

When he held the glaive, everything he was currently feeling was passed onto it. The overwhelming bloodlust coursed through it, making it shake with delight. Because what kind of a weapon wouldn't like killing? Weapons were made to take the lives of others and right now, that's all Hao Xuan wanted.

He took in a deep breath to calm himself down, or as much as he could in a situation like this.

His two hearts slowed down their beating. It was slower but much more forceful than before. It felt like mini explosions were taking place inside his chest. Whenever he was ready to attack, they would give him a burst of energy to lay waste to everything in front of him.

”Relax, let them get closer,” he whispered to Black when he saw his body start to expand.

Black looked at Hao Xuan and nodded hesitantly. Being so close to him, he could also feel his raw emotions that were like a dark cloud hovering atop his head.

Black's body which was now about 4 meters long coiled around Hao Xuan's chest, waiting to pounce at the incoming targets.

As they came closer, Hao Xuan could hear them chatting with one another.

There were two different groups of people with black hoods hiding their faces.

The ones on the right were about 7 people with 1 in the front, probably their leader. And the ones on the left were about 10 people with 2 in the front.

The ones in the lead were loudly arguing with another other.

”Goddamnit, how did they even escape? Who was on duty tonight?” the one of the right asked.

”I don't f*cking know man,” one of the 2 on the left replied while waving his hand like it wasn't any of his business.

”The seniors aren't gonna be happy about this.”

”What can we do now? There's only so long we can hold back the mortal armies so we have to make a move right now.”

”F*ck! It took us so long to make this place. This was going to be the next headquarters for this entire region.”

”I know, but what's done is done. Get moving, remove all the evidence.”

”Has the cover story been written up already?”

”Yeah, we're saying that it was the work of those new humans that came in a few years back. We even captured a few of them already.”
