1561 Apas Is Still Alive? (2/2)

Mo Fan crept closer and saw the man standing by a corner in front of the tower. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

”I'll use him to sneak inside. It seems his rank isn't low at all,” Mo Fan mumbled to himself.

Mo Fan released the Dark Material along the ground. It was difficult to notice the black substance spreading under one's feet when it was dark.

Sayed had poor awareness. He was chatting with the two female soldiers excitedly, occasionally grinning proudly.

Sayed had been a member of Egypt's national team. Mo Fan was well aware of his strength and his Elements. He was confident that the man would never notice his Dark Material, considering how slow his reactions were...

The Dark Material crawled silently onto Sayed. He suddenly shuddered and looked around him.

”What is it?” the female soldier with drawn eyebrows asked.

”Nothing, let's not wait any further, since the guy isn't here yet. Let's head inside, I don't want my uncle to wait too long,” Sayed told her.

”Mm, the intel you've acquired is surely going to be of great help to the battle!” another tanned female soldier with a seductive demeanor agreed.

Sayed went inside the fortress with the two women. He did not notice that his shadow was a lot thicker than usual after crossing the heavily-guarded bridge. Little did he know, someone was actually hiding inside his shadow. The guards did not bother checking when they saw it was Sayed, and simply let him through. Mo Fan was hiding under Sayed's shadow, and let out a relieved sigh.

If any of the guards had the Light Element, they would easily notice his presence with a quick check. The Light Element was a Shadow Mage's greatest weakness. Luckily, Sayed's rank was higher than he expected!

Mo Fan was relieved that he had chosen the right person. The other people that Mo Fan had initially thought about choosing had all undergone strict checks.

”This Sayed keeps staring at the women. Is he thinking of making out with her after he is done reporting? No wonder he seemed to be in poor health during the World College Tournament, he must have overworked himself!” Mo Fan murmured after observing Sayed carefully.

”Mm? A shadow fly?” Mo Fan suddenly noticed a tiny fly coming toward him.

The shadow fly was a unique signal that only he would notice. Even if a Light Mage noticed it, they would only assume it to be some insignificant wisp of energy.

Mo Fan thought the shadow fly was from Gangma. It was a sign that the Dark Material had spread further, but he was overjoyed when the shadow fly merged with his shadow!

”Apas… the girl is still alive, that's great!”

The shadow fly had come from Apas, and the extremely faint Dark Material on her. Mo Fan had lost all hope for her. He had thought Apas was already dead, since he could not locate her. To his surprise, she was still alive, and seemed to be trapped in complete darkness, allowing the tiny hint of Dark Material to provide him with feedback on her whereabouts!

It was so fortunate Bei Jiang from the Hall of Assassins had given him the extremely useful Dark Material, the Fiendish Night. Otherwise, he would be venturing around aimlessly, like a headless fly, instead!
