Aaaaaaargh!
A fireball landed on the attacker out of thin air. The attacker was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the fireball, burning him up.
An agonizing cry sounded.
The other three attackers didn't expect this to happen. All they saw was a black figure flash before their eyes and their comrade fell to the ground in flames.
"Now!"
The attacker who fired the arrow reacted to the situation after being stunned for a while.
Instead of running, the three of them dashed towards Bosco.
Gawk!
There was another caw of a crow.
The black figure flashed again.
This time, the attacker with the crossbow vaguely saw what the 'ambusher' was.
A bird?
No, it was a crow!
Connecting the dots between the caw and the crow, the attacker was certain of his guess.
But what use was there for him to be certain?
All he could do was watch the nimble crow shuttling through the alleyway, using its sharp claws and flames that shouldn't even be there to kill his comrade one after another.
The crossbow-wielder heard his comrade's roar before he died, and his entire heart trembled.
However, when he thought about the consequences of failing the mission.
The attacker clenched his teeth and drew the short sword from his waist.
The crossbow in his hand wasn't a repeating crossbow. After firing an arrow, he would need to reload it and he didn't have the time to do so.
However, just as the attacker drew his short sword, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his neck.
Behind him?!
The attacker widened his eyes in disbelief.
He naturally knew what was behind him.
It was a shadow formed by intertwining buildings and lights. It was the place where he was hiding.
However, he couldn't have imagined that there would be someone else in the place where he was hiding.
One needed to know that the shadow wasn't that big. After the attacker was placed inside, the rest of the shadow couldn't fit another person.
How did the attacker hide in the shadow?
Such doubts kept swirling in the crossbow wielder's mind.
But in the end, no one would answer his question.
KABOOM!
Raging flames spewed out from the hand that gripped the crossbow wielder's neck. The crossbow wielder's entire body was set ablaze. Unlike his companions, the crossbow wielder's entire body was set ablaze like a torch until he turned into a pile of ashes.
Kieran looked at the pile of ashes and extinguished the flames with a shake of his hand.
He was very satisfied with the Transcendence [Undercover].
It was an experience of intertwining and merging with the shadows. Kieran was in the shadow where the crossbow wielder had been, but Kieran's body had already intertwined and merged with the shadows. Although he could not turn himself into a shadow, he ignored most of his body size and merged with the shadows.
It was something that Transcendence [Undercover] couldn't achieve.
As for Grand Master [Charles' Fire]?
Kieran was even more satisfied.
[Name: Charles' Fire (Grand Master)]
[Related Attributes: None]

...
[Charles' Fire] could conjure a Powerful level devil flame without the need to charge up. With [Fiery Sulphur]'s support, Kieran wouldn't give up on [Charles' Fire], a special spell that required no incantation, no casting movement, and no casting time before entering the dungeon world.
Kieran could feel the devil energy circulating peacefully in his body.
Kieran slightly heaved a breath of relief.
[Charles' Fire] leveling up didn't affect [Devil Flame]'s ability to turn into an uncontrollable flame again. For Kieran, it was the last bit of worry he had.
Not only would it affect the usage of [Charles' Fire], but it would also prove whether his understanding of [Fusion Heart] was correct or not.
Balance!
Communication!
It was the strategy that Kieran came up with and judging from the situation before him, it wasn't bad at all.
"2-2567!"
Bosco stuttered in shock.
He never thought the one who saved him from death would be Kieran.
After all, the news from Thunder Fortress …
It was fake!
It was a cover up!
The king's personal advisor suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He walked up to Kieran respectfully and saluted, "Welcome back, Lord 2567!"
Bosco was sizing up the Fire Raven on Kieran's shoulder as he spoke.
The scene that happened just now was too fast.
Even with Bosco's eyesight, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Still, it didn't stop him from analyzing the situation.
"Raven, fire …"
"Raven faction eh?"
Bosco thought in his heart.
"You should go check on your follower. If he can be healed in time, he can still be saved!"
Kieran reminded Bosco when he saw him in deep thought.
Bosco quickly moved out.
Meanwhile, Kieran was sizing up the three bodies on the floor.
"They are wearing the civilian clothes of Riverdale, their hands have calluses from using swords and knives all year round, and their skin is a little pale … Is it a bandit organization hiding in Riverdale?"
Kieran couldn't help but speculate as he recalled the methods of the attackers.
Then, a thought naturally appeared in Kieran's mind.
"A bandit organization would lay their hands on Bosco instead of robbing him?
Did someone put up a bounty?
Putting up a bounty at this time … "
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw Bosco returning with a group of city guards.
The king's personal advisor ordered the city guards to carry his follower away for treatment and at the same time, he ordered the rest of the city guards to clean up the alleyway.
Riverdale was messy enough as it was.
Bosco didn't want to add more to the mess.
Bosco was clear that Riverdale was like a barrel filled with oil. The slightest spark would set the entire barrel ablaze.
It was something Bosco didn't want to see.
The city guards carried the corpses and headed towards a special place.
They saw Kieran standing there.
When they passed Kieran, every single one of them was careful, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Kieran's figure was very familiar to them.
What happened that night was an unforgettable scene for the city guards.
When they saw the raven on Kieran's left shoulder, the city guards had a bad feeling about the situation, to the point that they completed the task assigned by Bosco faster than usual.
"I'm sorry, Hon. 2567, they didn't mean it …"
"Do you know the origin of these people who attacked you?"
