Chapter 42: Chapter 41: ‘Shadow Cloak’ and ‘Spiritual Sting’ (Seeking Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
The core area of the Far East Territory spans several miles.
At this moment, over a thousand dark guards are scattered across this area, forming multiple defensive lines.
“Family shadow guards! The Golden Lion Family has indeed adopted precautions. ”
Not far from the core region, two figures are concealed in the dark, one of whom whispers softly.
“Keep to the plan, don’t create extra troubles. The Shadow Technique inscribed on the Shadow Cloak can only be used by two
people. We must find the boy’s location and kill him in one strike during this time!”
The other person replies seriously.
Storming into the Golden Lion Family’s defensive line is irrational. Therefore, the fact that the Black Robe Seekers’ Club dared to
come indicates that they came prepared.
Magic devices are their reliance.
“Let’s start. After killing the boy, do not linger. Leave immediately. Our people will be waiting on the outskirts to help.”
Feeling his companion may be unreliable, Nolan gives yet another reminder.
“I understand it’s impossible for a knight to imagine what a magnificent creation a magic device is.”
Despite him saying that he understands, his tone suggests otherwise.
Nolan knows his nature, so he doesn’t persuade him further.
He then takes out a pure black cloak from his bag behind him and puts it on.
After putting on the cloak, Nolan murmurs something under his breath. After a while, a black light flickers on the cloak and
Nolan’s figure disappears.
This is indeed the magic inscribed on the Shadow Cloak: [Zero Ring Magic. Shadow Technique]!
The other man takes over the cloak and repeats Nolan’s actions. After a while, his figure also disappears.
The two of them vanish suddenly, as if they never existed.
They truly vanish, as if they had become invisible.
If Milton Cheney saw this scene, he would probably be astounded.
This is a magic device!
The Shadow Cloak, as a magic device crafted by the Shadow School, has the Shadow Technique, which is the core zero ring
magic of the school, inscribed on it.
A school’s core zero ring magic, once inscribed in the Spiritual Sea, can be upgraded to a first ring magic when one becomes an
Official Wizard.
This alone speaks volumes about the might of this magic.
To simply directly wield this level of zero ring magic requires at least a level 3 Wizard Apprentice.
Milton is lucky in a sense that the Black Robe Seekers’ Club owns a magic device inscribed with something similar to supportive
magic.
If it were inscribed with offensive magic, then Milton could very well say his prayers.
Despite practicing trashy meditation technique, one can’t deny that the magic Black Robe Seekers’ Club learns are indeed from
the authentic Shadow School.
“Let’s go. Let’s go check out the Golden Lion Estate first.”
A voice suddenly appears in this deserted area.
Golden Lion Estate, the room where Milton Cheney resides.
Inside the room, Milton is lying on the bed, holding a copy of “Kingdom Chronicles” and reading it with great interest.
His room is very close to Earl Arthur’s, separated by just one wall.
This room was selected for Cheney’s safety by Earl Arthur.
“This is more bizarre than the wizards. The author of this book really dares to write.”
Keeping a thick book in his hands, Cheney exclaims.
The “Kingdom Chronicles” in Cheney’s hands is somewhat similar to the novels he read in his previous life. In this world, this
kind of book also serves as leisure reading material.
Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Cheney closes the book in his hand and puts it aside.
Ever since he crossed into this world, Cheney hasn’t really stayed up all night.
His schedule is something his previous self would never have imagined, as he adheres to a strict early to bed, early to rise
routine.
It is noteworthy that he would have trouble sleeping in his previous life if he didn’t stay up all night.
The room plunges into darkness when he turns off the lamp, and he closes his eyes on the bed.
As time passes, Cheney’s breathing gradually becomes steady.
“Creak! ”
Suddenly, an extremely faint sound reaches Cheney’s ears.
Cheney lying on the bed suddenly opens his eyes.
Inside the dark room, his eyes appear unusually bright and shimmering.
Cheney’s schedule might be regular, but his sleep is rather light, able to detect minute movements even in a light sleep state.
“Was that the window creaking sound? I’m sure I had locked the window.” Cheney is filled with thoughts.
Next moment, he pretends to turn in his sleep and takes a casual glance at the window.
Having become a Grand Knight, Cheney is capable of seeing in the dark as if it were day. The pitch-dark room completely fails to
obstruct his view.
Not a single anomaly!
The windows are still tightly closed, with no gap whatsoever.
It’s almost as if the sound Cheney just heard was a hallucination.
However, Cheney is sure that it was not a hallucination. Ever since becoming a Grand Knight, his hearing has improved
significantly.
The sound just now was extremely faint, but he is sure that he heard it.
If it had been the Official Knight version of him at this moment, he might not have heard the sound just now.
“Could it be the wind?”
Cheney is lost in thought, but his alertness is heightened at this moment.
“Or could it be that the Black Robe Seekers’ Club men are here?”
Cheney isn’t sure.
Despite the presence of over a thousand shadow guard protections inside the estate, the means of a wizard apprentice are
varied and complex.
Cheney can’t guarantee that the men from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club don’t possess the means to bypass the shadow guards
and find him directly.
“Creak! ”
Again, another subtle sound!
This time, when the noise comes, Cheney is lying on his side, his attention constantly on the window.
Therefore, the moment the window makes a noise, he suddenly notices that the window has been pushed open just a crack. But
the crack disappears as soon as ne D11nKS.
It’s as if the crack in the window never existed. This sight makes Cheney somewhat doubt his eyes.
“Illusion Technique!? Or a Blinding Trick?”
A chill runs through Cheney’s heart, his heartbeat quickening for a split second.
“Creak! ”
Another faint noise!
This time, Cheney is absolutely certain.
Because this time, he sees the window wide open!
No figure stands behind the window as Cheney had imagined. There’s no one behind the window!
Suddenly, Cheney seems to see a pair of profound eyes behind the window.
The next moment, he feels a quake in his mind as if a massive sound rang next to his ears. “Black Robe Seekers’ Club!!” “Damn
it!”
[Zero Ring Magic- Spiritual Sting]
The zero ring magic inscribed in Nolan’s Spiritual Sea hits Cheney’s Spiritual Sea in an instant. The next moment, the other man
also makes a move. [Zero Ring Magic. Shadow Touch]
From the darkness, a few transparent tentacles suddenly appear, aiming straight for Cheney’s neck.
But Cheney’s reaction is extremely quick. The sensation of a concussion in his brain only lasts for a moment before he recovers.
“He recovered so fast? How is that possible!?”
Seeing the clarity in Cheney’s eyes, Vicente is shocked. The speed of the shadow tentacles suddenly increases..
