Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 227 Foggy Murder Trap (2/2)
“Actually, the first truth of never losing a scheduled fight, is to never provoke those you cannot afford to provoke.”
Byrne and Marzo looked at each other, surprised that despite the great distance and the inability to see any figures in the mist, their conversation was still overheard by that person.
Moreover, the “Dragon Taming Lord” Aldrich could even transmit his voice over to them.
Marzo nodded slightly, her voice instinctively lower, “Thankfully, such a person is our ally, not our enemy.”
The two exchanged glances, Byrne slowly shook his head with seriousness.
“Indeed.”
Byrne also nodded calmly.
He silently looked at the sky for a long time without speaking.
Days passed by quickly once again.
At night, the moonlight shone on the valley, casting creepy shadows as if the valley hid unspeakable secrets and emanated a sinister aura.
As the night wore on and the Blazing Sun rose, the sunlight pierced through the mist, throwing dazzling lights as if the whole world were shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog.
In the white valley, the distant peaks seemed to be enveloped in thick mist, and the trees around looked twisted and elusive under the hazy light, as if hiding some strange power.
Heavy silence dominated the region, even the air seemed thin and dense, with irregular contours of white jade rocks and winding paths gradually disappearing from sight.
In the environment of dense fog, Byrne’s hearing became even more acute; faint sounds from a distance were more profound in the low-visibility conditions.
Suddenly, Byrne realized that Marzo, who had just been nearby, had disappeared without a trace, and he had not noticed at all.
She seemed to vanish into thin air.
“Hmm?”
He suddenly remembered something Viscount Bast had said: the area would become dangerous after the fog set in. Could something have really happened?
“Where did she go…”
While Byrne was pondering, he suddenly heard voices of people talking nearby.
“This is the place, right? But it took us so long to find it.”
“Yes, this is indeed the spot, if the information we received is correct, Viscount Bast should be in this valley.”
“I hope the time and effort we’ve spent coming here won’t be wasted in the end, He will be watching over us.”
Intruders?
He became alert all at once, but did not move rashly, instead maintaining stillness in the thick fog.
After a moment of thought, Byrne calmly deployed his Body Double.
Thus, a man identical to Byrne materialized out of the dense fog that surrounded them.
It silently walked towards the vicinity, taking over the observation of the surroundings for Byrne’s original body and moving towards the source of the voices he had just heard.
Go.
Byrne’s expression unchanged, silently applied the “Full Concealment” invisibility effect on his Body Double, making it completely undetectable in the fog.
As it approached, Byrne’s Body Double discovered three black-robed heretics!
He immediately realized those people were from the Stars Embrace Order!
The dense fog made it extremely difficult to see, so the three heretics were completely unaware of Byrne’s presence.
And with the “Full Concealment” invisibility, Byrne’s Body Double, though very close, had no chance of being detected by the others.
Path of Knowledge wasn’t one known for combat prowess on the God Pantheon stairway, yet no one could deny its strengths and the functional, extraordinary powers it provided.
Soon, Byrne overheard shocking words through his Body Double from the mouths of the three heretics.
“The Cyart noble we ambushed just now really gave us a hard time! We even lost a number of our men because of it. What should we do next?”
The ambushed Cyart noble?
Who is it?
Who died?
Byrne was immediately astounded!
