Chapter 214 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 30 (2/2)

Black eagles had high defence as well as flight, so they were much harder to deal with than ordinary magic beasts.

The Sentinel, who’d been trailing behind the two this whole time, immediately jumped out to protect Bu Jingyun the moment the black eagles appeared.

By flapping their wings,black eagles could generate a strong gust of windto disorientate their prey, after which they would swoop in for the attack. They were even cunning enough to work in groups.

Even Shi Sheng had been thrown off her rhythm. For a period of time, she could only dodge with no way to counterattack.

The Sentinel had to protect Bu Jingyun, so it was natural that he soon started to receive damage.

Now, burdened by his new injuries, one of the black eagles easily batted him aside while the other suddenly swooped towards Bu Jingyun. Its sharp talons tore into his shoulders, and with a flap of its wings, it brought Bu Jingyun with it into the air.

“Hallmaster!”

The Sentinel’s shout caused Shi Sheng to look over.

Next to the clifftop, Bu Jingyun was dangling in the air from the talons of a black eagle.

Shi Sheng frowned. ‘This fellow’s always appeared very useless. But even now, he’s still not retaliating…?’

The Sentinel slapped away the black eagle that was keeping him busy before flying over and catching the eagle that was holding onto Bu Jingyun, rescuing him.

“Hallmaster!” Sentinel’s expression was full of anxiety.

Bu Jingyun’s face was pale, and he looked as if he was about to faint at any moment.

The Sentinel discovered this, and his gaze fell onto Bu Jingyun’s back. It was a bloody mess.

“Hallmaster…” ‘…how’d you get injured so badly?!’

The Sentinel didn’t have time to think too much on this topic though, because the black eagles had started attacking again. He carefully picked up Bu Jingyun and rushed towards the distant forest.

The area they were in was too open, the black eagles would have an easy time attacking from the air. But once they were obscured in the woods, the eagles wouldn’t be able to attack them as easily.

Shi Sheng followed the Sentinel closely from behind. ‘Those fuckers fly too quickly. I can’t even toss my lightning balls at them; won’t hit at all!

Absolutely infuriating!’

Once they’d entered the woods, even if the black eagles could still fly after them, the forest canopy was too thick, sothe eagles soon lost sight of their target. They continued to fly around for a bit longer, rustling the leaves in the forest, before leaving.

The Sentinel had brought Bu Jingyun to hide under a large tree while Shi Sheng was standing a little ways away from them.

“They’ve left.” Only when she saw the black eagles leave did Shi Sheng stride over to Bu Jingyun. “What’s with him?”

The Sentinel glared fiercely at Shi Sheng. “You still have the gall to ask! If it wasn’t for you, would Hallmaster have been injured in the first place?!”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Really now… who would’ve known he was this shit! He’s the villain, okay?!

…Wasn’t he injured before? Has he not healed yet?’

“Anyway, it’s all your fault!” Sentinel didn’t stop speaking, “Ever since he met you, Hallmaster has been cursed with bad luck! Shen Yaoguang, you’re a jinx!”

Sentinel’s anger had truly gotten the better of him. ‘Hallmaster never left Nine Silences Hall before, so how could these sorts of things suddenly start happening to him? Even if Hallmaster is useless in combat, he’s still our most valued and noble Hallmaster! The Hallmaster who we’re all more than willing to serve!’

Later on, Shi Sheng found out that if Bu Jingyun didn’t absorb a human’s soul essence, he was practically useless. Soul essence was that white mist he had extracted from those two corpses the first time they’d met.

But every time he absorbed soul essence, he would suffer even more pain. As a result, the people from Nine Silences Hall were always on guard to make sure he didn’t sneak out to absorb soul essence.

His ‘injury’ from before was merely the consequences of absorbing soul essence.

Shi Sheng had the urge to give two dry ‘ha’s before questioning the author’s entire family tree.

‘Come on! He’s the villain! What’s with this bullshit setting, eh? Such a weak and fragile villain is really… enough!’
