Chapter 155: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Town Part 7
"That's a very scary ability…" Kayn slightly shivered, not from being scared, but because he was feeling slightly excited.
Finally, he has found his first target to use his Gift.
As soon as he sees that man named Wesley, he would immediately copies the latter's ability and make it his own.
The potential of possessing such a Gift is no doubt going to become a huge addition to his developing arsenal of skills.
Also, Friedrich and Chastine have already explained just how potent Wesley's Gift is — controlling people through the use of food. No one would be able to notice his influence if he targets anyone.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, an arrow traveled as fast as the wind toward their direction.
Bang!
Roshan immediately blocked the arrow from reaching Kimberly.
"Careful, they are targeting our mages!" Friedrich waves his sword, cutting another arrow coming for Cyril.
Waving his hand, Kayn quickly took out a shield from his Storage Ring and swiftly inserted it in front of him and Jude.
Bang! Bang!
"How versatile," Jude complimented.
"Stop talking and return fire!" Kayn exclaimed. If he had been slow by a heart bit, those two arrows would have reached him and Jude. He would be fine as he can block with his sword, but the latter would definitely be injured.
"Use the trees as cover!" Friedrich warns before jumping to a nearby tree.
Waving his hand, Kayn took out another shield and quickly inserted it into the side of the first shield. In this way, he created a safe path to reach the close tree.
"Good job, Kayn!" Cyril applaud as he jumped behind the shield and use it as cover.
"Let me join in, too," Kimberly also jumped to use the shield as her cover.
With the protection of the shields and trees nearby, Kimberly, Cyril, and Jude were finally able to cast magic spells and launch their counterattack.
Since there was nothing Kayn could do here aside from providing support, which he doesn't want to do, he jumped behind another tree before starting to climb to the top.
As soon as he reached the top, he hid himself using the branches as cover and after making sure that no one is watching him, he swiftly disappeared through the forest.
Not even Kayn's party was able to notice that he has disappeared. And when they finally found out, he was already long gone and is now steadily approaching the enemy line to hopefully launch a coordinated attack with Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson.
"Kayn?" Gilbert suddenly appeared. "What are you doing here?"
"Good timing," Kayn smiled. With Gilbert here, it means that Natasha and Jackson are also nearby his location. "I have a plan. Do you have any way to bring Natasha and Jackson here?"
"We are listening," Natasha silently appeared behind Kayn along with Jackson.
"I have a skill that will allow me to immediately destroy the enemy line. I want to request your support in order for me to get as close as possible to them,"
The closer he gets, the more effective his attack is going to be.
"Understand!" Natasha nodded.
In the next moment, Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson disappeared.
Evidently, they are now proceeding to clear all enemies that will try to hinder Kayn's path.
It didn't take long for Kayn to notice that they are doing great as he never encountered any enemy along the way.
Not long after, he finally saw the enemy line.
He can't help feeling slightly surprised as he saw close to fifty people gathering in one area.
"If I add those people hiding around the forest, there should be more than one hundred people targeting our party," Kayn thought inwardly.
"What are you planning," Natas suddenly appeared close to Kayn. He remained silent all this time because the latter wasn't doing anything dangerous, thus there was no need for him to intervene.
"Just watch," Kayn carefully moved from one tree to another. This time he made sure to be as careful as possible since he is already inside the enemy's perimeter.
After a few more jumps, Kayn finally decided to stop as he found his present location a good enough spot to launch his attack.
"Time to test how strong my new skill is,"
<<Hundred Shadow Cut>>
In the next moment, exactly one hundred daggers made of shadow suddenly appeared above the enemy line.
"Holy shit!"
"What is that?!"
"Just run away!"
Before anyone could retreat, the one hundred shadow daggers started raining down on everyone in its range.
This wasn't Kayn's first time using the <<Hundred Shadow Cut>>, so with his experience, not a single shadow dagger was wasted.
As the dust settled down, what lay next to Kayn was a line of unconscious people.
That's right, Kayn didn't kill anyone since they are simply under the charm of Wesley. In other words, they are innocent.
If he had truly killed them, then he would be no different to the members of the Assembly of Freedom.
The way he achieved that is by simply using the hilt of the shadow daggers. They might be shadows, but their toughness is no different from actual daggers, thus getting hit to the nape is more than enough to send them to the dream world.
Although there were some exceptions…
A few meters away from where the majority of people were two dead figures of men covered in black cloth.
There is no need to confirm who those two people were as Kayn easily recognized them as part of the group of the Assembly of Freedom inside the cave back then.
"What was that?!" Gilbert immediately asks in shock after landing behind Kayn.
"A new skill I developed," Kayn vaguely respond.
"Can you teach me the skill?" Gilbert expresses his desire to learn it.
"Perhaps in the future," Kayn didn't promise Gilbert since although the latter is now considered his friend, he still doesn't trust him enough to bestow a powerful skill like the <<Hundred Shadow Cut>>. It will entirely depend on how Gilbert would act in the future to whether he deserves to learn the skill or not.
Friedrich and the others started arriving one after another after confirming that the area is safe for them.
"Good work, Kayn!" Friedrich patted Kayn's shoulder.
"Just doing my job,"
"Now let's continue,"
"How about them?" Chastine asked out of concern.
"Whether they will live or die is entirely up to their luck," Friedrich coldly responded. Although these people were under Wesley's charm, that still doesn't change the fact that if it wasn't for their carelessness, they wouldn't have fallen for the latter trick.
"We also don't have any time to waste just to make sure they are safe when they wake up," Kayn hastily added.
"Rest assured, we've already scouted the surrounding and we haven't spotted a single monster nearby. As long as they wake up before night, they should be fine," Natasha comforted.
"Wait for a moment,"
Nodding their heads at each other, Kimberly, Cyril, and Jude cooperated with each other as they created dozens of vines to act as walls around all the unconscious people.
Once the trio was done, the party immediately continued with their journey in the direction of Serenity Town. Needless to say, with their discovery, they no longer intend to get inside the territory but instead would make a detour to reach their destination and meet up with Gnarlak and the others.
Moreover, just to be safe, they decided to move in secret so that they will not fall into another ambush again.
