“Speak up before I break your neck,” Cuktor said in a menacing tone. The demonic entity shivered upon hearing this, knowing that Cuktor wasn’t joking, and his cruelty was something she had never witnessed before.“Apologies, master. But I believe the only one capable of fighting that blind man is you. I fear that sending someone from our side now would cause a loss for us,” the demonic entity spoke fearfully. Indeed, Jonas’s strength had been thoroughly showed, and if she hadn’t been cautious at that time, she might not be standing here now. Jonas was incredibly powerful, and beside him was the formidable Evan, the heir of the Oslates family, whose bloodline and possession of a legendary sword made him a force to be reckoned with. If the two joined forces, aside from Cuktor, there would be no match.Hearing this, Cuktor immediately became furious. How dare she suggest he send Jonas the blind man, especially in such a way that implied he was being sent to fight Jonas?“You call this a
“What's going on anyway?” Evan couldn't help but be confused, who could shoot an arrow through a car! This is also too terrible. With that smile again, Evan had the feeling that something had really happened to them this time.“Or that Cuktor guy sent someone again!” Etham was afraid and hid behind Jonas, his limbs were still shaking. At that time, the arrow just had to go a little wrong and his little life would be over!Brendan saw this and added“That's right, this guy Cuktor is really persistent, in just two days he has already sent three people who are not even human, not even ghosts. What kind of monster is it this time!”As for Jonas, he has remained silent until now. This time I'm afraid it won't be as easy to deal with as the previous times, I keep having a premonition that something terrible is about to happen. The black shadow that just passed them may not be Cuktor's subordinate but him.“Jonas, what's wrong with you, why don't you say anything? Did you feel something?” Et
As soon as the sword was lowered, Cuktor leaned slightly to the side. What Jonas's sword touched was only rock and soil.“Damn, this bastard is too strong!” Brendan couldn't help but exclaim. Just standing there, he could see how dangerous Jonas was now. If Jonas is strong, the other is ten strong.“Find a corner to hide in!” After Evan finished speaking, he threw the jacket in his hand to Brendan, and I jumped into the match. Even though his magic isn't anything advanced, it's still better than nothing. Moreover, he is also a descendant of the Oslates family, maybe he can help Jonas in some way. Not to mention, Jonas is also his friend, he cannot stand by and watch his friend in danger.“Damn, if you come in, I'll come in too.” Brendan threw his coat to Etham, and he and Evan attacked behind Cuktor. Now they are not two against one, but three against one.Cuktor saw Evan and Brendan rushing in and chuckled lightly. He didn't care about these people, but they still didn't know how to
“Do not, Jonas, do not follow it!” Evan dragged his battered body forward and hastily grabbed Jonas’s hand. He didn’t trust this being. It was wise to be cautious even when avoiding watermelon peels and stumbling upon coconut shells. “No, Jonas, don’t! You mustn’t blindly trust those words! We don’t even know what he is up to, what his purpose is!” The owl, upon hearing this, stared directly at Evan. In its gaze, there was no anger, only immense amusement. “I thought who it might be. Turns out it’s the descendant of the Oslates!” Evan’s group was taken aback. Only Evan, Cuktor, and a few others knew Evan was an Oslates descendant. How did the green owl know? What faction did it belong to? Countless questions swirled in Evan’s mind. While it had saved him from Cuktor, that didn’t mean they could trust it. It might have its own agenda. “Who are you, exactly?” Evan interrogated. “Who or what I am doesn’t matter; what matters is that I saved you all.” Evan’s group fell silent at this reve
“Master, who is the person you just mentioned?” Donicio looked towards Cuktor; this was the first time he had heard that name. Until now, Donicio only knew that there were two major forces in the town, one being Cuktor, his master, and the other being the Oslates. However, the Oslates’ influence had long been eradicated, with the sole survivor not posing any significant threat. Na Losutines, this name was completely unfamiliar to him. Even if there was a powerful force in the city that made Cuktor wary, Donicio should have known a little about it. However, this name was utterly unknown to him, not even mentioned by anyone.“Na Losutines, damn it, damn it!” Cuktor exclaimed as if electrified. He did not answer Donicio’s question but went on a rampage, destroying everything in the room. All items within his reach met the same fate—shattered glass, flower vases, scented candles, chairs, and tables, all thrown around, turning the once tidy room into chaos.Cuktor seemed insatiable in his
About fifteen minutes later, the doctor arrived at the house. He carefully examined the injuries of each person."So, what did you guys do to end up in this state?" The elderly doctor couldn't help but exclaim. Out of the four people in the house, three were heavily injured, and the injuries were not minor. Jonas had numerous scratches, some of them deep enough to reach the bone. On his neck was a deep indentation from five fingernails, and there was even a nail embedded in it. Evan and Brendan were not in much better condition. Apart from various scrapes, Evan had four broken ribs, while Brendan had three broken ribs and a large bruise on his abdomen."Nothing much, just an unfortunate accident," Jonas replied dismissively, although he couldn't mention that they had just been attacked by Cuktor and encountered an unidentified green-eyed bird. Revealing such details might not be believed by the doctor, and there was the risk of being considered mentally ill. Moreover, it was better if
After dinner, everyone went to their rooms. Christina and Mei were assigned to a guest room. Jonas lay on the bed, and the events of the day led him into deep contemplation. Compared to Liliana’s case, the troubles in this town were much more challenging. Today, he could confront Cuktor directly. Cuktor was overpowering, and Jonas realized he was no match, even if his magic were to increase. Only the Oslates family sword could defeat Cuktor. However, Jonas only had half of that sword, and the whereabouts of the other half remained a significant question mark.Today, Cuktor intervened, showing his strong desire to return to the underworld. If Jonas and the Evan group didn’t expedite their progress, Cuktor’s return was inevitable, and many lives would be at risk. Adding to the complexity was the mystery of the green phoenix. Its origin, purpose in this world, and the identity of its mentioned owner were all major unknowns.While Cuktor had some information about his background and abili
Christina had just left the room, and Jonas slouched back onto the bed. These past few days had truly drained him. In the middle of the night, Jonas tossed and turned, unable to close his eyes. Perhaps it was partly because of the wounds that still oozed blood, causing discomfort. Another part was the multitude of thoughts swirling in his head. Jonas felt like everything, from leaving that village to encountering Evan, Brendan, and eventually taking on Christina’s case, wasn’t just a coincidence. It was as if there was some sort of arrangement, but Jonas couldn’t tell if it was his own overthinking or if some force was intentionally entangling him in these troubles. Like this morning, the green peafowl appeared at precisely the right moment. If it had arrived a second later, he might have lost his eyesight. It felt like someone premeditated everything.Jonas turned from one side of the bed to the other, trying to shut his eyes, but sleep eluded him.“Damn it!” Jonas threw off the blan
