Chapter 435 - Hide And Seek
Chapter 435 Hide And Seek
With no clouds to obstruct its way, a lone moon shined its cold brilliance upon the earth.
Angor used Cleanse to remove all smells and bloodstains from his body before moving away carefully.
The woods were dark. When Angor thought the only thing noticeable was the bright moon, a flock of flying ravens suddenly startled him.
His current path led down the mountainside. It wasn’t long before he reached the edge of the woods. However, he didn’t move on when he saw the empty, barren land outside the boundary.
The wind had stopped. Nothing was making any sound around him. Angor couldn’t sense anyone watching him, but he still felt wrong. His instinct told him to stay put and take a better look at his situation.
After making sure his position was relatively concealed, Angor began to calculate different data using “mind overdrive”.
His calculations helped him notice a series of trails he left behind. The dirt he walked upon, broken tree branches, random objects he accidentally touched… Everything suggested where he was going.
And since he could remember these trails, there was no doubt that a wizard with superior perceptions—Isabella—could notice them as well.
He finally made a decision.
Isabella wasn’t worrying about losing Angor’s track at all.
She might have let Angor slip away if the boy were to hide in the market, but she already saw him personally, and she had fully remembered Angor’s signatures.
At this moment, she could either use Angor’s signatures to locate him or use Angor’s blood in a remote cursing spell.
With these plans in mind, Isabella didn’t care about Angor’s moves. She would gladly play the cat-and-mouse game for a little longer.
11*Cough*”
Naga’s head suddenly “woke up” in Isabella’s hand and started to cough up more blood.
As a puppet, her brain was her core. She wouldn’t die when her head was still intact.
“I failed my mission, Master,” Naga said to Shadow in a sad voice.
Shadow didn’t take a good look at Naga earlier because he didn’t want to see what Naga had gone through because of his own recklessness.
Now that Naga was trying to talk to him…
It looked terrible. Naga had lost an eyeball, and half of her face was covered in blood and scars.
Shadow couldn’t help but feel more and more apologetic. “I’m… sorry, Naga.”
Naga coughed. “It was my own incompetence, Master.”
“Huh… you finally started talking emotions to these puppet things too, eh Diablo?” Isabella scoffed. “Well, I’ve got no time to listen to your sickening mishmash.”
Isabella released a blood-red sphere, which slowly swallowed Naga’s head within.
The sphere slowly solidified, stiffening Naga’s last expression-a determined farewell.
A waxen art piece with a bloody shell.
“Look at her face!” Isabella laughed again. “This is going to be one of the best collections I found these days.”
“You—” Shadow closed his eyes and tried as best as he could to suppress the surging fury.
However, he was still not experienced enough like real wizards. Sometimes, it was just impossible to defeat youthful foolhardiness with sanity.
Shadow managed to hold back most of his emotions, which caused red streams of tears to seep from his eyes. In the end, his tongue still gave in to his rage and let out two simple words.
“Old… hag!”
