Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dark Night

Previous Chapter

Only the white moonlight could be seen in the darkness, and occasionally a little dim light flickered in the distance, and the breeze flowed with a slight smell of moisture.

It was late at night, and Darkface stood on the broad wall at the top of the castle, looking down.

Her concealment skills can blend in with the environment, and may be spotted by high-ranking samurai or magicians with strong mental powers during the day, but hidden in the dark at night is almost completely undetectable.

Taught to her by her father, this concealment technique is said to have come from a great assassin six hundred years ago, and it has a strange name: Charlie's Shadow.

For this reason, she had always suspected that the great Assassin was a woman.

But her father had a different opinion, and the name may have just been in honor of a certain woman.

Darkface stared at the darkness in the distance, nothing unusual had happened, she had been here for more than an hour, and the entire castle, including the slowly built houses and lanes on the surrounding open land, and the fields that had been reclaimed, had fallen into a deep sleep.

She sighed slightly, withdrew her gaze, and was about to move, when a slight movement suddenly came.

As an Assassin, Darkface possessed a keen perception far beyond ordinary people, which was partly due to her talent, and partly due to years of hard work, which is a necessary ability for Assassins.

The slight movement came from the window of the castle below, and a faint shadow appeared in the window, and looking down from the angle of the dark face, it was just right to see a strand of silver hair peeking out of the other's hood.

Downcast?

Dark Face slowed her breathing and didn't move.

Luoshen looked around, including the top of the castle, to make sure that no one was found, before jumping down from the window, and soon fell to the ground, with a flick of her wrist, a gray mist that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye appeared, and she walked into the gray mist and disappeared.

Is this an invisibility orb? It's a bit like her concealment, which is also hiding the form rather than the actual invisibility.

Where is she going?

Dark Yan hesitated, not knowing whether to follow or not, with her ability, it would not be difficult to track down the gray mist.

In terms of the noble quality of the elf, there is no need to doubt that the falling god will do something unfavorable to His Royal Highness, she stabbed the falling god, but the other party did not care, on the contrary, she has been getting along very happily with the three of them recently.

But it didn't seem normal for her to sneak out like this.

Just when Dark Yan hesitated, there was a faint sound from below, it was the sound of clothes fluttering, this faint voice would never have been heard by her if it was before, but after she was treated by His Highness with the "Demon's Grace", her perception ability has also improved a lot.

Another window slowly opened, silently, and someone poked out the head of the same hood, almost the same observation movement, just looking at the figure, the dark face knew who it was.

After all, there are too few people with such a figure.

Mystery pupils.

She really seems like an enigma.

Like a big bird, still veiled in black robes, she floated out of the window, like a floating feather, and glided slowly through the air in the wind, and a moment later fell silently on the ground outside the castle.

Darkface's pupils contracted slightly, and she recognized the magic.

Only high-level mages can use the Slow Descent Technique.

Causes the caster to float in the air like a feather for up to one minute.

Did these two people make an appointment? Secretly sighed, it was obvious that these two people were going in different directions, and they did not notice each other one after the other.

Darkface didn't hesitate any longer, she took a step out of the darkness, fell sharply from the castle, and then landed on the ground and rolled lightly, standing up and chasing in the direction of the mystery pupil.

It was pure intuition, and if there was one person who was more of a threat to the castle and His Highness himself, it was undoubtedly this magician.

And the elf lady is a slightly arrogant straight person, and she doesn't seem to be good at any intrigues.

As for whether the mystery pupil will be, Dark Yan finds it difficult to say, she can't see through the other party at all.

She was far behind the Mystery Pupil, hidden in the darkness, and even though she had absolute confidence in her concealment technique, she didn't dare to be careless.

She judged that Hitomi was much younger than she showed to be mature, a year or two older than her at most, and she was confident that she would not be wrong.

At such an age, he has already been promoted to a great magician who has mastered the magic of life, what kind of concept is this?

Darkface knew that mages had strong and sharp mental powers, and she had to be careful.

The Mystery Pupil walked through the darkness, and the darkness seemed to hinder her movements, and she walked as fast as a silver-level scout.

Her black robe seemed to float on the ground, with a unique charm.

The two of them walked through the alleys, as a small border city, Ember City did not have any tall buildings, except for the Red Stone Fort, most of the others were low houses, and few of them showed light.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, the speed of the mystery pupil began to slow down, and she cautiously observed her surroundings, and when she lifted her veil and looked back, a silver glint flashed in her eyes.

Darkface had completely stilled before she could turn back, hiding in the darkness and holding her breath.

When the silver light passed by her, her heart tightened for no reason, and she shuddered.

Hitomi didn't notice anything, and she turned and walked slowly forward.

In front is a small two-story building with a black lotus flower motif on the lintel.

Dark Yan didn't know that she had come to this place in a coma, and was personally carried to the small building by His Highness.

This is the abode of the Mystery Pupil.

The windows on the second floor let out a dim glow.

The Mystery Pupil stood still at a distance, looking at the light, and his robe began to sway slightly.

The temperature around her plummeted, and black-purple shadow energy began to surge.

The window was silently pushed open, then shattered into countless pieces and fell through the air, but strangely no sound was made.

A figure appeared by the window, his hands propped up on the windowsill and looking down, the dim light illuminating only his gray hair and the two crossed hilts of his sword on his back.

"Look who I've been waiting for, what a surprise, a beautiful young lady?" he smiled lowly and stretched out his right hand, a black statue in the palm of his hand that glowed faintly.

"Unfortunately, I found this, which can be used to summon the clansmen, or is it the same kind?" he looked at the Mystery Pupil, his voice slowly turning cold.

"Am I right?"

The mystery pupil didn't make a sound, but the clothes fluttered faster, dancing without the wind.

"Wonder how I found you? Well, it's a good explanation, because I caught your former maid near the island. ”

"What did you do with her?" Mystery Hitomi's voice was cold.

"It's nothing, it's just that she was tortured for a few days, but her mouth was hard, and in the end she could only disturb her spirit with potions to make her speak. He smashed his mouth, "Poor little beauty, she didn't survive and had a nervous breakdown and jumped into the sea." ”

"As a witcher, use this despicable method against innocent civilians?" Mystery Hitomi's voice was colder.

"Oh, I'm a free man, and I don't be bound by the rules of the world, which makes me miserable and prevents me from achieving my goals. He flipped his palm and let the statue fall, "I don't like that." ”

Mystery Hitomi's eyes lit up with a white light, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Fallen?"

"I like the title, it means freedom. He smiled, "Unfortunately for you, it means death. ”

"The same is true for you. A short wand appeared in the hand of the Mystery Pupil, "Death is fair to everyone. ”

"I have never been afraid of death, my faith is divine light. The Fallen smiled, "I heard you have an artifact fragment on you, hand it over, I can make you die a happy death." ”

"You have no other choice, although I am a fallen, I am also a witcher. He sighed, "So I can't let you go alive, that's probably the only principle I'm still holding to now." ”

"Kill me and you'll get the shards. Mystery Hitomi's voice suddenly became calmer, "But I don't think you have that chance. ”

"Oh, I like your attitude, and I know you're strong. He said word by word, "Son of the Devil!"

The sword flashed brightly, and the Fallen leapt down and lunged towards the Mystery Pupil, the air making a roaring sound that twisted at his side.

Son of the Devil, does this refer to the Mystery Pupil?

Darkface's pupils were contracting, and even from such a distance, she could feel the violent power of the Fallen, and she only hesitated slightly, and then sneaked forward.

Purple shadow energy gathered at the front of the wand, then formed the shape of an arrow, and shot out with a tail flame, an attack by the Mystery Pupil, but the shadow arrow was blocked by the white light emitted from the Fallen before it could hit him.

Divine Light Shield.

This is a magic shield unique to Demon Hunters.

The Shadow Arrow kept shooting as the Mystery Pupil kept backing away, finally breaking the Fallen's shield before he could hit the ground.
