1017 Contend 1 (1/2)
”You…!” Glory's face changed, as she felt the thing in her hand suddenly disappear. In the blink of an eye, the Ice Magic Pillar emerged in the hands of Anthony, who was opposite her.
”Tsk tsk… This is indeed, something that has been an inherited magic device. It wasn't such a waste after all, for us to spend so much effort and energy in getting rid of the Edward family.”
”Let's go, don't let the sixth royal highness wait long,” a White Ghost beside Anthony spoke.
”En.”
The team of White Ghosts had the mercenaries completely surrounded in a tight ring and held them hostage as they speedily rushed into the distance.
This piece of Maplewood forest was soon left empty, but indistinctly… Numerous black shadows flashed through fleetingly, like black smoke, following this group of people tightly as they moved further and further.
”Huh?” Suddenly, one of the black shadows halted; startlingly, it was a long and slender figure and his entire body diffused with darkness. He turned around.
Another black figure had appeared behind him out of nowhere.
The person leaned against a tree, emitting a thick and freezing chill continuously from his body.
”Second Brother, haven't you gone to the Void Battlefields? Why have you appeared in a place like this?” The black shadow looked to the sound near the near, sniggering coldly.
”Big brother, haven't you gone to pursue and check on the smuggled consignments? Why have you appeared in a place like this? Aren't you a germaphobe? Doesn't a dirty place like this besmirch your shoes?” The other person sneered back in the same manner as well.
”Do you want the Ice Magic Scroll as well?”
”It's a valuable object that can increase the possibility of my Scarlet Snow Technique breaking through to the Inherited Level. Big Brother, even your own henchman dared to take action by himself, how could it be that we, as your brothers, be less than one of your own men?” The shadow by the tree spoke calmly.
”Second Brother, you have an abundance of talent, so why would you care about a silly little thing like the Ice Magic Scroll? Isn't the Ice Dragonflame over at Carthage's more suitable for you?” Boss said softly.
”The Eight-Eyed Giant Lizard is a behemoth of the Inherited Level. I was just worried that your competent right-hand man might not be able to get the job done, so I came over to help,” Second Brother chuckled lightly. ”Also, we have another friend who can come out now.”
His gaze slowly fell on the seemingly normal grass at the bottom of the trees in another direction.
Clap clap clap…
In the midst of the crisp sound of applause, a giant black wolf, carrying a man who was also entirely dark, emerged from the side of the grass.
”Ice Magic Pillar? A valuable object that can increase the likelihood of breakthrough to the Inherited Level? Never imagined that I would be able to come across such good fortune just by taking a casual stroll out, I really can't keep fortune away when it comes to me,” a voice that had undergone mutation rang out in the air, giving them a sharp and strange vibe.
”Take a look at whether you are qualified to want such a thing!” Second Brother suddenly shot a beam of shapeless chill out from his hand, which quietly rushed towards the black wolf beneath the man. This beam of chill did not emit coldness in the slightest, and it did not fly through the air, but rather, moved from one place to another in a manner similar to dimension hopping.
Windless Flying Blade. This was a powerful technique that he had trained for dozens of years before he could master it. Although it was merely a casual attack, it was enough as a probe.
The chill suddenly appeared in front of the black wolf and was about to hit it straight in the head. If it were to hit, the entire black wolf would immediately be frozen into a block of ice by this powerful force, and subsequently, shatter into numerous pieces.
Everything happened in that instant. At a speed faster than one could blink, the man on the black wolf suddenly drew his blade out.
Bang!
A black line sliced down from the top and was just about to hit the chilled flying blade.
There was an abrupt clashing sound from the black line of the sword's blade. Wisps of black smoke exploded around his body and covered the surface of the sword. The energy was tremendously doubled under the effects of the black smoke.
In silence, the chilled flying blade and the blade of the sword met. Neither of them made a sound, and instantly annihilated the other, vanishing into thin air.
”Demon Blade technique?” Second Brother scoffed, as though he had thought of someone else. ”To be able to execute this swing so easily…”
”Since it's you, you're qualified to share the secret scroll with us equally,” it was only now that Boss spoke. ”But aren't you supposed to be breaking through in isolation now?”
”Why should my business concern you?” The black wolf man's heart stirred; this person seemed to have mistaken him for someone else. He sneered.
”Alright, alright, alright… People say you're crazy but I didn't believe them, now it seems like that's the case!” Boss replied rather angrily.
”Because it's you, you definitely have the right to share this with us, but the secret scroll can only belong to the three of us, and no more!” Second Brother fixed his eyes somewhat fearfully on the shadow of the black wolfman. Rumor had it that this person was ridiculously strong. Even if they were to both attack him at the same time, they might still be unsuccessful in suppressing him. He would not easily give in to compromise either.
”Up to you,” the black wolfman laughed.
”Definitely no more! The more living beings who read the secret scroll, the weaker the power!” Second Brother warned in a frosty voice.
”And if more people come?” Boss sniggered.
”Then they become our enemy, and we kill them together!” Second Brother said gruesomely.
”I agree,” the black wolfman replied in an off-handed manner.
”Hmph!” Boss turned around and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
The other two also vanished into the darkness. Their speed was astounding and exceeded the typical stages of Level Five.
The black wolfman speedily left the scene and waited for over ten minutes before he shed his screen in a dark place, taking off the radiating black shadow that had covered him.
”Skillful… Skillful, indeed! Garen lowered his head to look at his right hand. The swing of the blade just now had already used up all of his explosive energy, but it had only been to block the chilling attack sent out by the other person so casually.
It did not take much for him to guess the identifies of Boss and the Second Brother. They were under the Great Elder, the first Three-Hearted Ron Belle, and the second Three-Hearted Barlow Hertha respectively. These were high-level personalities of the Moonshine and were old-school masters of the resonance Two-Moons Level.
That explosion of energy he had needed to swing the blade just now had only been to endure and resist a probing attack casually executed by the opponent. Such difference…
