KABOOM!
Following her words, one of the cardinal sins, Lust, exploded and swept over Kieran's heart.
However, the ferocious Lust was completely useless against Kieran who had gotten used to the Devil Force and Cardinal Sins Force since he was used to it.
It was like pouring a pail of hot water into an ice cave.
Instantly, the hot water lost its temperature and turned into a new layer of ice.
Therefore, even though one of the cardinal sins, Lust, started to rumble in Kieran's heart, it was useless.
Soon, Lust was defeated.
However, it caused the three Original Sins, Wrath, Envy, and Greed, to react consecutively.
Feeling the taint of the emotions and the hidden dissatisfaction, Kieran wasn't moved at all.
It was like pouring a few more pails of hot water into the bottomless ice cave, other than freezing, there was no other result.
Kieran even seized the chance to carefully sense the difference in the nature of the cardinal sins.
Facing a host like Kieran.
Wrath, Envy, and Greed, the three Cardinal Sins let out an unwilling roar before retreating in defeat, just like Lust.
Sloth and Gluttony didn't move at all, it wasn't what they favored.
Pride, on the other hand, wasn't interested at all, it was like a high and mighty spectator, looking down at everything with a condescending gaze.
Then …
She raised her head and looked Kieran in the eyes.
Two identical faces.
A look of calmness.
A look of arrogance.
Both of them stared at each other for a while.
Then, everything returned to normal.
The outside world only paused for less than a second.
Kieran looked at the woman before him and shook his head.
"I don't need it."
Once again, Kieran rejected her without hesitation.
On top of that, the last bit of patience in Kieran's heart started to fade.
Quite the opposite, his heart was getting more and more vigilant.
The woman seemed to be quite extraordinary but there weren't any sub-missions or special events, it made Kieran suspect whether everything before his eyes was a new set up specifically targeted at him.
"Leave this place.
"I'm warning you for the last time."
Kieran's tone became cold.
His words of warning were filled with undisguised killing intent.
"I …"
"Alright."
She still wanted to say something, but when she saw Kieran's gaze, she couldn't say another word.
She had seen similar gazes more than once.
And those who had this kind of gaze were all the same kind of people: people who never went back on their word.
The other party retreated cautiously.
He tried his best not to touch the wound, and at the same time, he looked at Kieran with caution.
From 10 meters, to 15 meters, and then to 20 meters.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave, an arrow silently appeared behind him and pierced his back.
Puff!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the other party collapsed to the ground.
However, he didn't die. He was still breathing.
The sturdy leather armor saved the man once again, reducing the force of the arrow and preventing it from piercing through his body.
The silver-white enchanted arrow and the bright red blood were extremely dazzling under the afternoon sun.
However, Kieran was more concerned about the person who fired the arrow.
Firing an arrow without a sound wasn't something anyone could do, not even the best hunter.
It was common knowledge that in order to enhance an arrow's attack, a stronger bowstring would be required. Using the bowstring as a benchmark, the air-breaking sound was unavoidable.
Unless a magical item was used.
However, the person who appeared in Kieran's sight didn't use any magical items.
The bow in the person's hand wasn't anything special, just a common hunting bow. At most, it was a little tougher. The enchantment on the arrow wasn't to silence the sound, but to make the arrow more targeted, just like the arrow itself.
"A special archery technique?"
Kieran sized up the person in surprise.
The person was dressed in black, with a felt hat on his head. His face was covered, revealing only a pair of blue eyes.
Even with the clothes covering his face, it couldn't cover his petite figure.
He should be a woman.
As for why wasn't it a short man?
Kieran thought a normal man wouldn't have that kind of disproportionate pectoral muscles and slightly slender hands and fingers.
Of course, if any unexpected species appeared, Kieran wouldn't be surprised.
After all, his biggest understanding of the current dungeon world was the simple memories and the news he got from Holler, Gregori, and Bankers from time to time.
Just as Kieran was sizing up the person with the bow.
The person with the bow was also sizing up Kieran.
When she saw the Frost Wolf pup beside Kieran's feet, the person couldn't help but tighten her grip on the bow but quickly released it.
"She's my prey."
The female voice proved that Kieran's guesses were correct.
Kieran didn't have any grounds to refute what the person said. He raised his hand and gestured for the person to leave with her prey.
"And that hound beside you has the bloodline of a wolf, you should be careful of it!
The wolf is one of the most cunning creatures, it will bite you! "
The man approached the woman who had fallen to the ground, grabbed her, and put an iron ring around her neck.
During the process, the person was looking at Kieran with utmost vigilance.
In the end, when she realized Kieran didn't do anything drastic, the person heaved a sigh of relief and reminded Kieran in a way that she thought she was being kind.
"I know exactly who my partner is."
"Who is my enemy?"
Of course, there are also strangers. "
Kieran replied calmly.
There were too many people who thought they were infallible, Kieran had met countless of them who struggled to survive. After going through a couple of so-called "peaceful" negotiations but to no avail, Kieran gave up on such useless methods.
Kieran chose a firmer way to reject those people's "kind intentions".
He had to do it.
He didn't want to pick up the coins or food beside his feet anymore.
Kieran's sharp reply made the person uncomfortable but she didn't say anything else and was ready to leave with her prey.
However, a rapid air-breaking sound stopped him in his tracks.
Four buff and hairy figures blocked the man's way.
"You damn hunter, let go of Sharly!"
The four buff men dressed like humans but didn't have the presence of a human growled.
The hunter, who was holding his prey, fired an arrow at the hunter as an answer.
Unlike the silent arrow from before, the arrow was fired.
This time, the arrow was fast and fierce like a meteor.
One of the buff men fell to the ground before he could even react.
However, it didn't change the situation where she was surrounded by three other buff men. Soon, multiple wounds appeared on her body and each of them was bleeding profusely.
The wounds were caused by the buff man's hand … No, no, it couldn't be called a hand anymore, it should be called a claw.
The sharp claws grew on a human's wrist.
Kieran looked at the scene with interest.
Even though he had some guesses before, when he saw it with his own eyes, Kieran was quite interested.
Other than books, it was the first time he saw such a creature.
As for the battle between them?
Kieran didn't want to be a part of it, he just wanted to watch from the side.
In fact, if it wasn't for the wolves that he was concerned about in the valley, Kieran would have left a long time ago.
However, most things would always go against one's will.
The buff man who was shot crawled up wobbly when he saw Kieran watching from the side. He threw himself at Kieran and shouted loudly.
"You guys take care of this hunter, I'll take care of that bastard!"
