Chapter 3662 Looters
3662 Looters
With the mind made, I resumed my journey. My first target is Ferring House; a forge. I hope to get materials there and even some good tools.
It will take three days. If I moved the speed, I had been moving and thus decided to increase it. I like to reach there in two days, that is counting the nights, which information said are especially dangerous here.
There are a few hours before the night, and I want to cross as much distance as possible before that.
I moved faster than before while keeping my stealth active for full.
It had been a few hours since I had entered this place, and my stealth was getting better. By tomorrow, it will get all the data, it wants, and the changes will be made accordingly.
Then, I will be able to move even faster than, right now.
Hun!
Over an hour passed, when suddenly. I had stopped and the formation inside me activated. A Sky Sovereign monster had entered my range, and it was a bird, more powerful than the last monster.
Its large beak could easily snap me in two if it wanted to.
I have no desire to let that happen, and I stayed still, sealing my body, as well as my power, as it over me.
It had stayed in my rage for less than five seconds, but before flying away, I didn't move for half a minute, till I was completely sure it had really flown away.
Some monsters are wily bastards; they make it seem like they left before attacking. Though the monster of its power doesn't need to play those tricks against someone like me; they could easily kill me in a single attack.
I undead myself and continued with my journey.
An hour passed, and I had avoided another Sky Sovereign monster and many Earth Sovereigns.
This place really has many monsters. If one didn't mask themselves in a fight, they can forget getting out of there alive.
Hun!
Suddenly, a smile appeared on my face. I people and there were two of them, walking in a pair.
Seeing they are Sky Sovereign, I immediately moved toward them. I usually wouldn't make contact before following people for a while, but I need information and these two would provide me.
Soon, I reached close enough that I began to release my presence faintly. That they would feel like they had discovered me, without me knowing.
A few seconds later, they discovered me and stopped.
Two and a half minutes later, I slowed down my speed and came out of the trees into the clearing, where they were already waiting for me.
The two Sky Sovereigns. One is stone skin, shiny rough grey skin, while the other is a handsome scaled man.
"Human," said the scaled man, while touching the sword at his waist, clearly showing that wouldn't hesitate to use the weapon if I had made the wrong movement.
"I mean no harm; I only want information," I said.
"Sure, we have information, but what will you give us in exchange?" asked the stone-skinned man, and two black flowers appeared in my hand. Seeing them, their eyes lit up.
"Zarikas flowers," said a stone-skin man. "I think they are more than enough for the information. You both will provide me," I replied, and they smiled.
"It is more than enough," said the scaled man, and crystals appeared in the hands of both and they threw it toward me, while the flowers went toward them.
Bang Bang
They caught the flowers, and I moved to catch the crystals when suddenly they exploded into the dark purple powder.
It had covered the area around me, making me blind not only in vision but also in soul sense.
This is peritious powder, powerful, a special alchemical mix that makes the soul senseobsolete for a fraction of a second while having no effect on the soul sense of the user.
Aside from that, it could be pushed away with energy. So, not many use it as one needs to manage the timing perfectly.
"Fuck!" I cursed in panic.
My sword appeared in my hand and I looked around wildly, trying to push my soul sense through the power, when suddenly, I swung my sword.
CLANG!
My sword clashed against the saber, before I moved a step left, avoiding the attack of the ax.
The shockwave of the clash pushed away, the powder bringing us face to face. I could see a surprise on their faces, while a grin appeared on mine.
"Peritious powder, really? Does it ever work?" I asked.
The surprise disappeared from their face, and anger appeared.
"It would be wise for you to give all your storage nice. If you make us angry, you will not only lose your storage, but we will also punish you for wasting our time," threatened a stone-
skinned man.
Hearing that, a smile appeared on my face. It had been a while since someone had looted me.
Most importantly, these two have given me a chance to get what I want. I had thought it would take a few days for it to happen, but it happened in a few hours.
"I am giving you the same offer; give me everything you have, and I will let you leave in peace. Don't and it will be painful," I threatened back.
"You will pay for this, you bastard!" screamed the stone-skin man and attacked with his aura flaring wildly; the scaled man also came, not holding back anything.
Burst 75%.
I also upped my power without hesitation and swung my sword toward the coming attacks.
CLANNG!
My sword clashed against the ax of the stone-skin while dodging the black crystal saber of the scaled man.
"I thought you guys were powerful, but if this was all you, then you might as well give up," I said, shaking my head.
"Human, you have just made things very painful for you," said the scaled man and his aura flared further. I could see it had harnessed every bit of power he had without holding back anything.
The stone skin was the same and came at me.
I let their attack come close to me, before disappearing and attacking, making them quickly move back and defend against the attack.
CLANNG!
My sword clashed against the saber of the scaled man and dodged the stone-skin ax by an inch, moving my head away.
For nearly one and half months, I had been lethargic; I hadn't done much work in that, but I did one thing and that was practice. I didn't miss even a day, despite wanting, not practice at all.
It was very dangerous, considering my mental, but in that state, I had not forgotten my desire to meet my family and Marina.
The only way, I could do it is increasing my strength.
BANG!"
"Bas" the stone-skinned man opened his mouth to curse, but a moment later, saw my sword coming behind, it moved to dodge, but it was too fast and struck him hard on the head.
He flew away like a broken doll while I turned into a scaled man. I was planning to do the same to him when the saber disappeared from his hand.
