Chapter 724 Part 2: Tense situation
From MC's perspective:
The bloodline wizard finds out that corpse's body parts are crushed under the pressure. The bones were subjected to heavy pressure.
"Several cracks can be seen on the bones," He muttered to himself.
Which is also confirmed by the target's spell attacks. A quick gleam flashes in his eyes. After confirming that Vincent was the attacker, he disappeared from the spot and started to look around the area.
Time flies.
When it was the next morning. The bloodline elder arrives back at the same place.
"Sigh"
"I have searched around this vicinity all night. But there was no clue of him. Did he escape," The bloodline elder said to himself.
Things are getting out of hand. He decided to report it back to the family master.
The next second, he tried to establish a connection with him.
The call was quickly connected.
The fat elder of the bloodline hall was eager to hear the reports. But when he heard the elder had got some clues.
His fat body trembles in excitement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Master, that kid has got away. He is not here anymore."
"On top of it, that kid got an artifact which amplifies the spell. The dead person was not a lower-level wizard. His strength was above level 5," He said.
On the other side of the call, the fat elder was not surprised. If not for the treasure, it would have been difficult for that kid to survive this long.
Then he furrowed his eyebrows. The bloodline elder is waiting for his instruction. It's too early to say that the gravity kid has escaped.
Because he is getting timely updates from the Taboo Hall. They would know if anything happens.
"Alright, elder. You should continue your search in the wilderness. I'll tell you when to stop later," After saying that he entered the call.
The bloodline elder signs before walking away from the place.
On the other hand, the fat elder got important news in his hands. He was the one who was getting information from the Taboo Hall.
He can tell that Taboo Hall's people are not putting anyone in their eyes. Including their bloodline hall, but this time he is going to give information to them.
Then he contacts the secret channel to share the information.
Meanwhile,
I'm sitting cross-legged inside the mana pond. The energy of the mana pond is still vibrant and active. Seeing that I closed my eyes and started to run the meditation method.
Time flies,
The triple killer in the wilderness receives the news an hour later. In a fit of rage, he has destroyed a couple of places. This was not known to anyone yet.
He had used the black liquid to scorch a few vegetation areas.
"So he is indeed here," The triple killer said to himself.
A ruthless glint flashes in his eyes.
He has been running around in this wilderness. But still, he wasn't able to find the target. Now his organization tells him that he was close to the target.
He had never felt this stressed out before. He wasn't able to find a mere level-5 wizard. And the information sharing seems to be lacking.
They are not giving information on time. If had known this before, he would have come directly from Beluz City.
Then shaking his head, he decides to search once again.
Days passed in the blink of an eye,
The situation in Velbor City is getting tense. Because the local news has become national news. Due to continued occupation of foreign forces.
It has disturbed a lot of businesses. Including the business of the Adventurer Union. Wilderness is one of the channels which they make a lot of money from.
Because of the current situation, no adventurer groups are willing to step in. So much so that people forget about the Beluz City incident.
Now everyone's eyes were on Velbor City.
If the situation continues, it would cause Adventurer Union to step in. They can't see their businesses getting destroyed slowly. Because not every province has wilderness.
The current situation has not only left the peace of Viper Academy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe dean and the Sub-Taboo Hall members are getting suspicious. Because it's been days but no one has received any message from Vincent Carey.
However, the dean can confirm the lifeline of Vincent Carey is active and stable. Which means he is hiding somewhere safe and secure.
Until any news from Vincent Carey, the Sub-Taboo Hall won't act.
Meanwhile,
The bloodline elder and Triple Killer are still in the wilderness. Their situation is not worse than anyone else's. They can't go back unless there is a word from the higher-ups.
The triple killer has been suppressing his raging heart. The failure is causing him to make an impulse decision. Knowing his personality, the shadow skull has been warning him not to lose himself.
Everyone is aware that the Adventurer Union is looking into this matter. If they find out anything, it would create another whirlpool.
The bloodline elder is also staying low-key. The fat elder has asked him to stay away from the wilderness. Because the fat elder is using the family power, not the academy power.
If he gets exposed, then the Academy won't support him.
On the other hand, the Taboo Hall's powerhouses are losing their patience. Because things are getting out of hand.
To kill a mere junior, they had paid so much. But there was no result yet. They thought foreign forces could help them with this matter.
But the Shadow Skull is suffering because of a lack of information. Since there was no proper information, they weren't able to direct the triple killer properly.
This was the 1st time Shadow Skull found difficulty when it came to handling the level-5 wizard. This usually happens when it comes to level-7 wizards and above.
Because of their strength, they can easily blend anywhere. But this case was new for them. So the shadow skull is waiting for intel.
And they are also aware of the Adventure Union's interference.
