Supreme Magus novel Chapter 829

Chapter 829 Heartless Monster Part 1

"Don’t be surprised, kid. The first layer was a decoy that darkness smothered, leaving it visible only the real mark etched under the clay." Jirni explained, repeating the procedure at every corner.

"It seems it’s going to be crowded." Kamila said while pointing at the clean path in the middle of the dirt covering the floor. It was something that only many people taking their same path could have created.

Jirni signaled her to halt and be quiet while she conjured a sphere of darkness to keep the light of their amulets from being seen. It wasn’t the number of footprints to worry her. For a rare item like Gorgon parts, a crowd had to be expected.

Yet the fact that so many of them had walked orderly was highly unlikely unless they had come all together. Jirni activated the Silencer device of her army amulet and reported the anomaly before taking another step forward.

"You truly are the cunning woman I’ve heard so much talking about." The voice coming from her communication device didn’t belong to the desk Sergeant she was supposed to be talking to.

"Too bad that you noticed it too late. Yet what really pains me is the idea that I have to kill you quickly. The army should have already noticed my Communication Jamming array and sent reinforcements to your last know position." Kaelan the vampire said while walking from around the corner.

He was around sixty years old, barely 1.72 meters (5’8") tall, with silver hair and goatee. His silver-rimmed monocle couldn’t hide the excited red glow from his eyes that shone brightly in the darkness of the sewers.

The man had gentle features and a warm smile, but Kamila recalled him all too well to be fooled by his ordinary appearance.

Jirni gritted her teeth recognizing him, but her grimace became even worse when her lighting spell revealed that he wasn’t alone. Several undead came out of all the four corners of the tunnel, leaving them no way out.

Judging from their long canines and the silent grace they moved with, they had to be vampires. Some had even shapeshifted their fingers and toes into claws hard enough that they allowed them to crawl on the ceiling.

"How the heck did you know how to override an army amulet? That’s a state secret, you leech!" Jirni took out her enchanted weapons while keeping Kamila behind her. Jirni had promised Lith to keep her safe and Jirni was true to her word.

"You have many enemies, Lady Ernas." Kaelan twisted his mustache as a cruel grin appeared on his face. "Some of them even value your death more than their own allegiance to the Kingdom."

"That’s not an answer, vermin." Jirni held six of her needles in between her fingers, ready to strike at the first enemy who dared come too close.

"Because you’ll receive none, wench. When I’m done with you, not even your hu..."

A flick of her wrist, a blur in the air, and the numbing pain that ensued cut Kaelan short, making him kneel onto the ground. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

’What in the gods’ name is this?’ He thought looking at the needle sticking only a few centimeters out of his chest. ’How come I didn’t even see it coming?’

Kaelan had a bright blood core empowered by centuries of experience and abundant feeding, yet it was turning muddy like that of a newborn.
