279 Crystal sword (1/2)

”Y..you are from the Hazegroove family?” the creature became alert all of a sudden seeing the crystal sword in Edmond's hand and asked.

”So, you still fear my family name. Good,” Edmond smiled looking at the creature which was showing signs of fear after seeing the heirloom of his family.

”Once it was a powerful hermit family, but now it has become a thing of the past. I wonder, how you are still alive when your family is already buried, hehe,” when it heard Edmond's words the giant creature shocked for a moment before suppressing it and smiled eerily.

”It may be a thing of the past for you, but for me, it is the present and future as long as I live,” Edmond didn't waste any time and rushed towards the giant creature with his crystal sword.

'Huh? So, he belongs to a hermit family, no wonder he was strong and talented,' Darbaudr, who was fighting outside the huge windstorm silently thought in his head.

In Zrochester province, other than the five main families, there were some hermit families that didn't like to show their existence to the outside world unless it was required. Every hermit family secretly protects humans from other world races.

Many people know about the existence of the hermit families but no one knows the exact number of hermit families or what their name was except for a few high-level cultivators.

However, there was a rumour that three years ago, most of the hermit families were destroyed from some unknown killers.

As for whether these rumours were true or false no one knows and no one bothered about the hermit families since they don't know where they exist or reside.

The reason Darbaudr was able to hear the talk between Edmond and the giant creature was because he kept an ear on them as soon as he broke through to the level 1 elite general realm.

With the breakthrough, not only his strength increased but also his spirit sense which was more than enough to hear the conversation of Edmond and the giant creature.

'Looking at Edmond, I can guess the Hermit families of Zrochester province are really powerful,' Darbaudr thought in his head and continued killing the general realm creatures.

Even before his breakthrough, Darbaudr was able to end up in a stalemate with those creatures; however, now he was able to kill them easily.

'Slash'

Back inside in the huge windstorm, Edmond slashed at the giant creature as a small cut appeared on it making Edmond puzzled.

'How is this possible? My family heirloom was unable to do much damage to it,' As Edmond was confused about his family heirloom, the creature swung its serpent tail and slammed him into the surrounding windstorm.

'Shh'

'Thud'

As soon as his body touched the windstorm, his body received so many cuts before falling onto the ground.

However, inside its heart, it thought, 'I think, he is not powerful yet to use that thing; otherwise, I would have died by now.'
