Chapter 56: Going Out (1/2)
”Puchi!”
Eddena rematerialised behind him, sensing a threat coming from his rear, the man tried to duck in the hopes of avoiding the attack. However, at this moment a dagger penetrated his left shoulder from behind. He gave a heart-wrenching shriek and struggled to free himself.
Eddena gave him no chance to unbound himself and continued to pierce her dagger until it punctured his vulnerable heart. The man's mouth coughed, but no blood came out of his mouth, as there was no blood inside his body—then his body started to lose its strength and the lustre of a living from his eyes faded and his body collapsed without a shred of life.
Not far away there was another man. He saw the battle and turned pale with fright. However, just as he was about to signal other people, a claw appeared out of nowhere clutched his throat, hanging him like a chicken in the air. He was shocked and horrified, he didn't even notice the slightest fluctuation from this man. How much experience one would need to have such control over his strength, to be this stealthy?
Nonetheless, Magnus gave him no chance to plead for mercy, as he had no time for that, and twisted his neck before he crumbled on the ground—the rosiness had vanished from his face, becoming paler, then almost white, as his body was in an ice cube.
Magnus looked towards Eddena and coiled his arms around Salona's butt who was leaning over his shoulder—and the trio bolted into the horizon. The commotion would definitely attract others. It wouldn't be wise to stay any further.
Around twenty seconds later, clouds of shadows dashed towards that particular location. They looked at the corpses on the ground. A man who had black hair, a pale but handsome face. He was tall and robust, releasing terrible pressure. He looked into a distance and curled his lips, murmuring. ”I wonder how long you'll be able to run, Magnus.” Then he turned around and shouted towards other shadows. ”After them!”

As the next day began, Kadyn walked out of the meditation room. After stretching for some time, he peered around, looking at the silent and quiet shop in front of him, engulfed in the gentle warmth of morning sunshine. The garden looked beautiful, butterflies flew and honey bees gathered around flowers. It was six o'clock. He had spent eight hours in meditating—
[Energy Points: 197-80→ 117]
At this moment Elora walked out of the Potion Hall, yawning and rubbing and stumbling. She wanted to use the Meditation Room as well. However, Kadyn didn't permit it, as she was already an employee of the shop. She needed to earn her own Energy Points before she could utilize facilities in the shop.
”You're here,” Kadyn had a gentle smile and said. ”I'm going out to look around. As I don't know much about the city.” He said. His predecessor was really too useless. ”Can you be my guide?”
”I don't have time for that, humph!” she snorted. ”I need to practice. After all, I don't have something like Meditation Room to aid me.”
Kadyn laughed at her tantrum. He knew that she was upset as he didn't let her practice inside the mediation room anymore. He looked at her and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. ”After coming we will sell those potions. You'll have enough points to use the Meditation Room.”
