Now a few months have passed, even if luck is exceptional and talent is high, the Professional Level is estimated to be only around 2 or 3, how could anyone be a match for such a dangerous monster?
But right now...
A crimson blade of light tears through the air in his mind, the shadow of a black wolf’s howl gradually fading, the image of the armored monster’s head rolling off plays over and over again.
This happens right before him, forcing Abi to believe.
And just as his mind was shaking, his thoughts in disarray, the male voice in his head resounded once more.
In contrast, besides an increasing gravity to the tone, there was also a heavy sense of command:
"Do not move! Do not make a sound!"
How could it be him!?
Saloyan, of course, rembers the cold and sharp-faced black-haired youth on the field ahead.
Just a few days ago, while Abi was still imrsed in the gambling houses of River Valley Town, trying to lure this man into ruin with money, he had a brief encounter with him.
Abi said he was a forr teammate, known among the adventurers in town by the nickna "Gray Sword," nad... Xia Nan?
As a Demon Baron from Purgatory, Saloyan naturally wouldn’t care about these small fry among the low level adventurers.
But the attributes displayed by the other’s soul were troubleso, like mixing countless paints together, capable of touching a bit of everything, it made him instinctively remote-control Abi to stay away and avoid contact as much as possible.
What he didn’t expect was that, after so many days since that brief glimpse, he would find him here again—the final destination where he projected his consciousness to the Material Realm—and encounter this man once more.
Could it be... he ca specifically for ?
Not believing there could be such a coincidence, Saloyan couldn’t stop doubting in his heart.
After all, even belonging to the second layer of Hell, "Dic," there are nurous complicated relationships woven between devils and devils, nobles and nobles.
Although he is considered sophisticated and tactful, always careful in his conduct over countless years, he does have a few notable enemies.
If they discovered his plan and temporarily dispatched subordinates to intervene, it’s not impossible.
But who leaked the information?
Suddenly recalling the incidents along the way, the hidden Petrified Lizard, and the vague positioning in the Dark Territory... Saloyan beca more convinced that there was a problem with the person in charge of his intelligence network in the Material Realm.
Could that kid have taken soone’s kickback and leaked the information?
He made up his mind, once his consciousness returns to Purgatory, he must imdiately send that damned, despicable, conscienceless traitor to the "Blood War," to have his soul devoured by the lowest worms in the Abyss.
The destination was right in front of him, and no matter how cautious Saloyan was, he couldn’t possibly abandon all his previous efforts for just an ordinary adventurer who has just advanced.
With a slight hope that "this is just a coincidence," he commanded Abi to halt and remain silent.
As an adventurer, if not here for him, the black-haired youth ahead is most likely targeting the green-skinned goblins that have already been reduced to severed limbs and flesh on the field.
Now that the task is complete, the other party shouldn’t linger in the cave.
After the black-haired youth leaves, he could remote-control Abi to exit as well; he possessed this patience.
Silently and unnoticed, magic particles quietly fluctuated, shrouding Abi’s obediently hidden presence in the shadows with a layer of indistinct gauze, greatly reducing his presence.
Of course, this was Saloyan’s doing.
For intelligent beings, thods to hide the scent used against demons in the Dark Territory no longer work, but being a Great Devil from the Nine Layers of Hell, even a re projection of consciousness is sufficient to drive magic particles to obscure the scent for the possessed individual.
Normally, with an ordinary adventurer’s perception ability, it’s absolutely impossible...
Saloyan’s thoughts suddenly stalled.
Because just when he exerted spiritual power and gathered magic particles.
The black-haired youth standing ticulously ahead of the armored monster’s corpse seed to sense sothing.
Abruptly turning back!
Residual killing intent, his cold and sharp gaze resembled the icy glint reflecting off the longsword in his hand, staring directly over at them.
Saloyan himself was rely surprised by the other’s acute perception.
But Abi, a fledgling adventurer who had just started learning a beginner Battle Skill, shuddered as if electrocuted with just one glance.
Instinctively raising empty, unard hands, he walked out from the shadow of the passage, shouting loudly:
"Mr. Xia Nan, it’s ! Don’t attack!"
Stupid fool!
Saloyan cursed inwardly.
At this point, contact with this black-haired youth nad Xia Nan beca unavoidable.
He had no choice but to suppress his presence, remaining silent as before during their first encounter, waiting until the situation changed to make further plans.
Xia Nan frowning slightly, gazed at the familiar figure ahead raising his hands nervously and walking towards him.
"Abi?"
Surprised in his heart, but with no change to his facial expression, Xia Nan kept a firm grip on the demon-blood-stained longsword.
"Why are you here, and where is Adeline?"
Gesturing for him to stop at a distance and not co too close, Xia Nan slightly raised his voice to ask.
Now, deep within the core area of the Mist Forest underground, any danger could be encountered. Based on tavern rumors he heard before, he must consider the possibility that Abi before him is a shapeshifting monster in disguise.
