The black figure stood alone in the secret room, the night wind gushing in through the hole above his head.
His hair was dancing.
His clothes were fluttering.
Only his eyes were as cold as frost.
The handle of the sharp knife in his left hand moved along his fingers, drawing a perfect circle before the tip of the knife was pointed at the translucent body of the dead.
His actions seemed to have infuriated the monsters that were eyeing Kieran like a tiger watching its prey.
Roar, Roar, Roar!
Amidst the heavy roars, the translucent figures dashed towards Kieran madly.
"Careful!"
Li Jiajia cried out in shock.
However, Li Jiajia quickly covered her mouth.
What did she just see?
Not only did the tide-like translucent body fail to drown the intruder, but it was also swiftly sliced apart by the intruder.
The intruder was like the sharp knife.
It sent chills down everyone's spine.
A cold glare flashed and the black figure arrived.
A violent wind blew and everything was reduced to ashes.
Stab, slash, slash.
It was supposed to be a simple move, but in Kieran's hands, it became extremely magical.
The sharp knife in his left hand.
The long sword in his right hand.
Each time he attacked, a translucent figure would vanish.
From the left side of the secret room, the intruder slaughtered his way to the right.
Then, he slaughtered his way back to the left.
It was as natural as breathing or drinking water.
Li Jiajia was dumbstruck at the scene.
She didn't know whether it was an illusion, but she realized the intruder was getting more relaxed as he fought. At the same time, a strange aura started to appear in the secret room.
It was the place that she yearned to go to.
It was as if everything would be peaceful if she went there.
Unconsciously, Li Jiajia's translucent body floated towards the place.
However, the moment she floated up, a powerful suction force appeared.
The suction force appeared out of nowhere.
Caught off guard, Li Jiajia's vision blurred.
When she came back to her senses, Li Jiajia was shocked to find that she had once again appeared in the school corridor. The security guard had already disappeared, and there were no wounds on her body.
"Was it an illusion?"
Li Jiajia was stunned.
However, she soon heard fighting noises from underground.
"No!
It's not an illusion!
"That black figure …"
Thinking of this, Li Jiajia subconsciously wanted to stand up.
However, just as she stood up, she felt dizzy.
Thump!
Li Jiajia fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
To experience things that ordinary people would never experience, one would have to pay a corresponding price.
His soul was extracted from his body.
Naturally, some changes would occur.
Was it a blessing or a curse?
Who could possibly know?
…
Puff!
Another translucent body was pierced by the sharp knife in his hand and turned into nothingness.
A faint aura that belonged to the distance appeared in the void.
Compared to normal souls, these translucent bodies were not considered dead beings. Their auras seemed to be much weaker, but to Kieran's surprise, their essence was much higher.
Compared to the 'fee' that the ordinary dead gave to Kieran, it was naturally much higher.
Moreover, there were many of these translucent figures.
There were so many of them that they were densely packed together.
Under the premise that both quality and quantity were higher, Kieran's attributes quickly broke through the Seal.
His Spirit remained unchanged at B +.
However, his Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intuition were all raised to B-.
Everything had exceeded Kieran's expectations.
Just like the sharp knife he was holding in his hand.
[Name: Acard Blade (Shard)]
[Type: Weapon]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attribute: 1. Soul Hunt; 2. Fear; 3. Consume]
[Effect: Soul Devour]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: This is one of the shards of Acard Blade. Although it is being used well, it doesn't change the fact that it is just a shard. Likewise, it doesn't change how scary it is!]
…
[Soul Hunt: When Acard Blade stabs something with a soul, it will inflict an extra + 1 Damage to the target's soul.]
[Fear: When facing a soul or formless being, when in attack stance, the target will have to go through a Spirit authentication no lower than C, targets that fail will be stunned for 1 second.]
[Consume: When the target's soul is damaged, Acard Blade will consume the target's soul to repair itself and at the same time replenish the wielder's stamina.]
…
[Soul Devour: Acard Blade has a requirement on the wielder, even a shard should not be lower than B- Spirit, otherwise the wielder will be enchanted by Acard Blade.]
…
It was a Legendary rank item.
It was a shard from another item.
Kieran could already imagine what rank the shard would be when it was intact.
It would be at least rank IV!
It might even be rank V!
However, Kieran had no intention of repairing the shard.
Since it couldn't be brought out of the dungeon, it was destined that this shard of a powerful item would become a temporary weapon for Kieran.
It was no different from [Sharp Standard-Issued Blade] and [Gordor's Chain].
Of course, compared to [Sharp Standard-Issued Blade] and [Gordor's Chain], [Acard Blade (Shard)] was a lot stronger.
Powerful attack coupled with [Fear] and [Consume], when facing the Witchcraft Puppets, Kieran was unstoppable.
One second of Fear was enough for Kieran to launch multiple lethal attacks.
Consume, on the other hand, kept Kieran's stamina at its peak.
Instantly, the Witchcraft Puppets were sliced like tofu in front of Kieran with [Acard Blade (Shard)]. They didn't have any defense, they couldn't even counterattack.
All they could do was let the tireless Kieran pierce and slice them.
Under such circumstances, the Witchcraft Puppets were slaughtered to the last.
Following the seemingly faint but actually higher quality Faraway Aura, the Origin Forces in Kieran's body became active again.
However, it didn't break through his attributes.
After all five of his attributes reached B rank, the amount of energy Kieran required increased as well.
Kieran wasn't unhappy about it though.
Quite the contrary, the result before his eyes was enough to satisfy Kieran.
B + Spirit and B- Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intuition were enough for him to deal with most of the problems before him.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't give up on the chance to unlock more of his powers.
Therefore, after spending another 10 minutes searching the underground secret room and making sure there was nothing, Kieran jumped back to the surface with a sigh.
The entrance to the underground secret room wasn't inside the school but a residential building not far away from the school. It was also the main reason why Bain and the other Herders couldn't find anything during their investigation.
As for the other reason?
Actually, Ed Wong didn't go missing here at all.
Bloody Mary had done a thorough investigation of this place.
With Bloody Mary's drawing and the search just now, other than the woman who was originally here but went mad from the backlash from [Acard Blade (Shard)], Kieran was the most familiar with this place.
Ed Wong might have been here before.
But in the end, he left the place.
Otherwise, Ed Wong would be one of those Witchcraft Puppets.
That woman might have gone mad, but she wouldn't give up on good material.
Like the young girl just now.
Thinking about the young girl just now, Kieran didn't frown.
He didn't want to comment on her actions.
Maybe she had her own reasons.
Or maybe she was in pursuit of thrills.
None of that had anything to do with Kieran.
Similar to how he didn't want to wake her up after she fainted.
Since he had chosen a path, he would have to endure the thorns and dangers along the way, not just enjoy the glory and glory of the path.
Unless your ancestors helped you pave the way.
Otherwise, you would have to understand the saying, 'Pay first, pay later'.
Kieran walked out from the opened door.
He saw Bain and the other Herders standing at the entrance with a single glance, their faces filled with shock.
Compared to Bain, the Herders were even more shocked.
They had never seen Kieran in person before.
The Kieran they knew was exactly what Ed Wong described in his report: the child of an old friend who lived in seclusion in the mountains. Before his death, the old friend entrusted the child to Bain, the only friend he had.
The child learned a lot of skills in the mountains that common people couldn't even dream of.
At the same time, because he grew up in the mountains, he had some weird quirks in his personality.
Throughout the report, other than the skills he learned in the mountains, it was speculated that the child ate something special in the mountains that strengthened his body a little, nothing else caught the Herders' attention.
After all, as Herders, they had seen a lot of strange things and people.
But …
Was this what it meant to be a little stronger?
Just feel the aura from inside!
At least 20 dead people were reincarnated in a short period of time!
In such a short period of time, so many dead people were reincarnated. No one in the room could match the speed.
Techniques?
The Herders saw it with their own eyes. It was as if Kieran had gone through a lot of training, every single move was simple and lethal.
And that beast-like instinct when he was hunting down his enemies …
It was killing them!
None of the Herders wanted to be targeted by Kieran. Once they did, the thought of Kieran's speed, skills, instinct, and most importantly, his unrestrained attacking methods made every single Herder's scalp numb. They didn't want to be smashed in the face by a burning gas can.
'That damn Ed Wong!
He must be trying to laugh at us! '
All the Herders shared the same thought in their hearts.
Then, all the Herders looked at Bain at the same time.
Among the Herders, only Bain had come into contact with Kieran before.
It was natural that Bain would come into contact with Kieran again.
Under everyone's gaze, Bain slowly walked up to Kieran.
"Did you find Ed Wong?"
Bain laughed dryly when he thought of the oath he made in the past. He pretended to be serious.
From Bain's point of view, the reason why Kieran suddenly came in was because of Ed Wong.
"Nope.
He isn't here.
A Witchcraft cultivator appeared here, but that woman has gone mad. Other than killing non-stop, she has no other thoughts.
The reason why you noticed the traces of the Witchcraft cultivator is because she didn't even try to cover it up. "
Kieran shook his head.
"Killing?
"Are you talking about the female high school students from before and the missing people around them?"
Bain sighed.
"Not recently.
I saw hundreds of Witchcraft Puppets over there, many of them were wearing clothes from 10 years ago. "
Kieran corrected Bain's mistake.
"Witchcraft Puppets?!
How many?! "
Bain cried out in shock, then widened his eyes at Kieran, his lips trembling.
Witchcraft Puppets were shocking enough.
Now, the number almost stopped Bain's heart from beating.
The Herders instantly surrounded Kieran.
Every single one of them looked at Kieran blankly.
"At least a hundred!
There will only be more, not less!
I don't have the habit of counting the number of enemies when I fight. "
Kieran said as he walked out.
He had been away for long enough.
Starbeck might have Bloody Mary's protection, but with its current strength, it could only deal with a common man. Should Starbeck run into trouble, he would be in big trouble.
Therefore, even if Bloody Mary didn't sound the alarm, Kieran had to go back as soon as possible.
Bain, who was still in shock, unconsciously moved aside when Kieran walked over. The other Herders didn't stop him either.
They were all frightened by the news.
They judged that Kieran had run into a lot of the dead in the area based on the density of the 'faraway' aura.
However, they never thought it would be Witchcraft Puppets!
Hundreds of Witchcraft Puppets!
Seeing Kieran off into the night, one of the Herders smiled bitterly.
"Is this considered one against a hundred?"
"Yes!
And it's not just one against a hundred.
Those are Witchcraft Puppets that are much stronger than the common dead. "
The Herder beside reminded everyone else.
"Is it possible?"
Bain, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly asked.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Kieran.
It was because the news was too shocking.
It was unbelievable!
"You'll know when you see it!"
The Herder who nodded just now then walked towards the academic building.
Although Witchcraft Puppets would turn into nothing after they died, the Herders could still find traces of them.
The rest of the Herders saw their colleagues walk into the academic building and swarmed in.
Bain was no exception either.
All of them wanted to know the answer.
Soon, the answer appeared before their eyes.
After the Herders confirmed the number of Witchcraft Puppets, they looked at each other and went silent.
More than 10 seconds later, Bain said with a sigh.
"B rank, eh?"
The Herders at the scene shivered when they heard the rank.
They all knew what it meant to be at this level.
"B rank!"
"A genuine B class!"
The Herder who led the way nodded fiercely and then looked at Bain with a pleading gaze.
Not just the Herder, the rest of the Herders also looked at Bain.
Their gazes were also pleading.
"No!
I can't do it!
You guys should go to Ed Wong, ask him to persuade that Royan.
As for me, I have no confidence at all. "
Bain quickly knew what his colleague was trying to do, so he quickly waved his hands.
How could he go back to that restaurant?
He wouldn't just have to face that annoying little brat.
He would have to recall the unbearable past.
How could he go back?
Stop joking!
He wouldn't go back!
