Kieran frowned when he saw Maxim running over excitedly.
He stood up from his chair, waved his hand at Raven Sect Recorder and walked out of the room.
Maxim was stunned.
Celty who was munching on his snacks was even more confused.
Just when the two Raven Sect members were exchanging gazes, suddenly …
KABOOM!
KABOOM BOOM BOOM!
Consecutive explosions sounded.
The two Raven Sect members immediately dashed outside.
…
Riverdale outskirts.
The road that connected to Thunder Fortress was cut off from the middle.
The fracture was about five meters wide and three meters deep, directly splitting the smooth road into two.
However, this was nothing compared to the crater that had appeared on the ground beside it.
Craters that were more than 10 meters in diameter could be seen everywhere.
The largest one had a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of more than 10 meters.
Black scorched earth was exposed on the surface and scarlet red was scattered all over the place.
Amidst the pungent blood stench, broken limbs were everywhere.
The corpses were like ragged dolls that were tossed around randomly. It could be said that corpses were strewn all over the place.
Kieran appeared beside the corpses.
He carefully checked each and every one of the bodies, checking the craters caused by the tremendous force or explosion.
Then, he walked towards the biggest crater.
Kieran's [Tracking] picked up some familiar traces in the crater.
Aqua Ape!
Half a footprint was left behind from the tremendous impact.
Looking at the footprint, Kieran could totally imagine how Aqua Ape resisted the tremendous impact with all his might.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to step on the soft soil under his feet and make it look like it was poured with concrete.
Unfortunately, even so, Aqua Ape didn't completely block the impact.
Kieran turned his attention to a spot further away.
There was a scarlet red mark left behind.
"He was blasted away by the impact!
He was ambushed in mid-air!
Although someone came to his rescue, he was still heavily injured!
Aqua Ape's injuries infuriated the rescuer, he went all out and blasted one crater after another in a short period of time. "
"Fire Ape?"
Kieran walked back to the main road while he was guessing.
He looked at the smooth cut of the main road and raised his hand to touch the almost smooth cut of the soil.
Without further guessing, Kieran had already locked on to the person who would deliver the blow.
Sword Ape!
Other than that, Kieran could not think of any other answer.
After the emergence of Ape Sect, Kieran had done a detailed understanding of Ape Sect.
Especially the Water Ape, Fire Ape, and Sword Ape.
Therefore, when he saw the battlefield in front of him, Kieran almost instantly had an answer.
However, compared to this answer, Kieran was more concerned about the other answers.
He quickly walked further into the dense forest.
In the dense forest, he saw some extremely interesting footprints.
Almost without exception, they were all footprints with the front of their feet on the ground. Moreover, the place where the thumb was had a deeper indentation.
This kind of mark could only appear after standing on tiptoe and maintaining a bent posture with the center of gravity placed in front of the sole of the foot for a long time.
On top of that, Aqua Ape's footprints were similar.
It seemed like Ape Sect had been waiting here for a long time.
"A planned ambush!
"But it failed."
That target is … "
Kieran squinted his eyes and muttered to himself. His voice was getting softer and softer, to the point that it couldn't be heard even if someone was standing in front of him.
At that moment, Maxim, Celty, and the other Riverdale guards who were alerted also arrived at the scene.
Mary, who was leading the way, was stunned when she saw the battlefield before her eyes. She quickly looked at Kieran.
When she saw Kieran slightly nod, the young princess signaled the guards to clean up the battlefield while she strode over to Kieran.
"Is it that target?"
Mary asked softly.
"Other than that target, I can't think of anyone else.
But if that's the case … "
"I have to rethink what that target has done to make Ape Sect's strongest combatant attack without a care in the world."
Kieran replied.
"It's a little different from the plan."
Mary slightly frowned.
For the young princess, anything that was out of the plan would make her anxious.
Her age had determined that she couldn't ignore all that.
Likewise, she didn't try to hide it in front of Kieran either.
"Em.
But at least my thoughts are on the right track.
I messed up Snake School's plan and humiliated Aqua Ape of Ape Sect!
At first, we thought both sides had a grudge against each other and luring both of them to Riverdale would form a certain level of restraint but their target will always be me!
But now … "
"Their grudge is much bigger than we thought."
Kieran said in a half-joking tone.
Mary laughed as well.
But both of them knew it was a joke.
Especially Kieran.
Grudge would make you lose your sanity.
But if Ape Sect wanted revenge, they wouldn't be so stupid as to throw an egg against a rock, especially Aqua Ape who could endure the humiliation and temporarily retreat.
Kieran didn't believe Aqua Ape would be that irrational.
Unless …
"Stepped into Snake School's trap?"
Kieran sighed and looked at Mary.
He didn't know how Snake School set up a trap that Ape Sect believed in but he knew what he had to do next.
"Although we might not be able to find any valuable clues, if it's possible, please ask the guards to expand the search area."
"Okay."
Mary nodded and started to give orders to the guards.
However, to Kieran's surprise, the search that he didn't have much hope in at first …
He really did find something!
…
A blob of liquid stuck to the ground, moving forward in a swift and strange manner.
It was almost impossible to notice the blob of liquid in the eyes of the others.
However, the blob of liquid was too obvious in the eyes of those who were trained.
Souuu!
A palm-sized crossbow bolt suddenly appeared in the direction where the blob of liquid was moving. The moment a loud bang sounded, the bolt pierced through the blob of liquid.
Puk!
Amidst the metallic bolt piercing through flesh, the blob of liquid rolled aside and Aqua Ape's figure emerged from it.
Aqua Ape looked a little ragged at the moment.
His light blue robe was full of stains.
Blood was dripping from his shoulder, which was pierced by the arrow.
But even then, the Water Ape still had an indifferent look on its face.
"Tsk tsk, you stayed behind to cover the retreat? Sacrificing yourself for others?
"I'm so touched."
So touched that I really want to tear you apart! "
Amid the sharp, irritating voice, a short man with a delicate crossbow strapped to his left wrist walked out from the shadows.
