What was he doing? Running for his life, of course!
Louis couldn't be more dead. Who would have the time to care about these meaningless questions? Don't block my way!
— Although Wallis really wanted to say that.
However, not only was the other party's level in the Road of the Flaming Sword much higher than him, but he was also stronger than him.
If he really did what he said, there would be no need to run for his life … He could just be buried on the spot.
Therefore, he could only stop when he heard that. He turned back into his original human form from the pigeon and landed in a corner.
He was especially careful when he landed, carefully avoiding the shadowy places and deliberately standing in the sunlight.
It could be seen that the scene just now had left a deep psychological shadow on him …
Although he was completely exposed to the sunlight, for a criminal like him who had been living in the dark and was still wanted, he still felt very uncomfortable.
But compared to his own safety, this little bit of discomfort was nothing.
He didn't want to slip into the shadows like Louie and die without knowing why he had died.
However, even so, the ominous feeling in Wallis's heart was still getting stronger and stronger, which he couldn't understand at all.
He had clearly left that terrifying bookstore as fast as he could without encountering any shadows. Why did he still feel no sense of security at all?
It must be that he wasn't far enough. Damn it, it's all because of this guy who suddenly appeared and blocked my way. I have to deal with him quickly, or else the situation will become even worse!
Wallis thought and said, "Lady Pasha, I report to you that the mission target brought the book into the 'bookstore' and is likely to be protected by the other party. I'm afraid the difficulty of this mission will have to be adjusted. All I can do is temporarily retreat. As for Lord Louis … he's already dead."
As expected, a shocked voice came from the shadows. "Dead?!"
The pitch-black shadow turned into a woman wearing the same tight black clothes. She took two steps forward, and her eyes were filled with disbelief, anger, and coldness. "Bookstore? What are you talking about? He's just a mortal! Apart from the gods, no one can kill a shadow assassin in the shadows! Unless Louis didn't enter the stealth state at that time and had a head-on confrontation with the other party. In that case, the fluctuations of the battle are not something you can withstand. "
"Then, if he's dead, why are you still alive?"
Pasha was getting closer and closer, obviously suspecting that Wallis was lying or had betrayed them.
"Because that guy is at least at the God level!"
Wallis was a little frustrated by Pasha's "pestering" at first, but then he realized that she didn't know which "bookstore" he was referring to. She thought he was talking about Theodore's secondhand bookstore.
"No! No! It was a bookstore! That nameless bookstore! "
Wallis explained incoherently. At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was said that the information about that bookstore was indeed sealed. The other forces might not know about it, but there was no reason for the Road of Fire Sword not to know about it and not to give it to them …
Why didn't the organization tell them that Theodore had moved to the bookstore and might come into contact with that terrifying existence?
They could not even fight an Annihilation class power head-on, yet they had come here to die?
But the situation was urgent, and Wallis only wanted to run for his life. He didn't have time to think about it.
This thought was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it was thrown to the back of his mind.
"And the other party has a way to deal with shadow creatures. They predicted that we would make a move today and set up an ambush there. At that time, Lord Louis was not prepared at all and stepped into the trap. I saw him being swallowed by the shadow with my own eyes!"
"The other party must have the power to control shadow creatures. Lord Pasha, let's run … No, let's retreat! It'll be too late if we don't leave now! "
Wallis said quickly, his head covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly took a few steps back, afraid that he would accidentally touch the other party.
These shadow assassins who had been transformed into half-shadow creatures were no different from walking bombs to him.
If the other party used that method again and killed Pasha in front of him, he did not want to be buried with them!
Pasha's angry expression froze, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Wallis's anxious and panicked expression was not fake, but he seemed to not only be afraid that someone would catch up to him, but he was more afraid of himself …
A way to control shadow creatures?
No, this could also be an excuse. He was afraid of another possibility, and that was a guilty conscience.
Pasha was still trying to determine whether Wallis was telling the truth because she didn't dare to believe that Louis would die …
She weighed the pros and cons and coldly said, "Forget it, I'll believe you for now. Let's go …"
"Meow ~"
A soft meow suddenly interrupted Pasha's words.
“！” Wallis's breath got stuck in his throat. His heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head with a stiff expression. He saw a fat white cat slowly walking over from the intersection.
This cat's gait was charmingly naive, and its cat face was innocent and cute, as if it were an ordinary kitten passing by.
Pasha had just frowned when Wallis turned around and ran away with a face full of horror.
That cat was the one he had caught a glimpse of at the entrance of the bookstore, the cat in the arms of the owner of the bookstore!
It was chasing after him!
It was as if he had seen some evil spirit. His whole face was twisted as he loudly shouted, "No, no!"
Pasha suddenly became alert. She pulled out the two black short swords on her back. Dozens of short swords tied to the leather belt on her clothes were unsheathed at the same time. Without hesitation, they shot toward the cat, carrying the shadow power and poison. They drew beautiful arcs in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Pasha started to silently chant spells, activating the spells attached to the short swords.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Pasha's reaction speed was worthy of her title as a shadow assassin.
Any ordinary Annihilation-class would have to divert some attention to deal with these tricks, and they would be delayed for a while.
Unfortunately, she was facing an original embryo that had once stolen the power of a true god.
The blades did indeed pierce into the white cat's body. The dozens of blades instantly turned it into a porcupine.
But there was no blood.
The shape of the white cat was cut by the blades. It was deformed into a strange shape, but then it opened its mouth, revealing countless wriggling tentacles and eyeballs. The whole thing exploded radially, suddenly expanding a few hundred times. It flattened all the houses around it, becoming a giant "nest" that covered the sky.
"Meow!"
It opened the giant eyeball inside and stared at the two prey in front of it with a creepy smile. It strangely let out a soft meow.
— —
"Moen, Little White went out to catch pigeons to play. You go down and watch it. Don't let it go too far. Be careful, in case it gets kidnapped."
Lin Jie sent Theodore away and called his assistant. He sighed and said, "The world is not safe now."
The girl glanced at him and nodded expressionlessly.
