Chapter 300: Point Confirmed
Almost everyone who was present in the Trial Hall where Devourer had kidnapped Sera knew how he escaped. Even under the restriction of the Main Academy, the man was able to escape.
They didn’t know if it was a treasure or ability that he used to escape, it was clear that he used space to escape. That’s why Liyone had especially brought a treasure that could seal space properly.
With this treasure, even if it was Mist in this place, she couldn’t escape. The only problem was that the treasure was a limited time use item.
It could only be used for half an hour. After that, it needed a month to recharge
properly. That’s why it wasn’t constantly used in the academy.
Normally, this treasure was useless. Even if one was to trap someone as strong as Mist inside it, so what? Who could kill her within half an hour? It was impossible.
That’s why on truly strong beings, it was useless. Still, Devourer had not reached that realm yet.
In fact, there were even some Heroes that managed to see that he was weaker than he used to be in the past. He had not used any of the prominent skills that he constantly used in the past.
If it was in the past, Devourer would’ve killed quite a few people before leaving, trying to weaken the Hero Academy. Strangely enough, he didn’t do that this time.
Even to kidnap Sera, he had to use sneaky and cunning methods. It made everyone realize that he was truly different.
People realized that it was probably because he had just returned to life. None
of them knew how someone who died
could come back to life but that was the reality.
The only thing worth solace was that he appeared to have lost all his previous abilities, which made him weaker. This was
also the perfect opportunity for them to kill him before he became as strong as he used to be in the past.
“Point one is covered,” one of the Heroes
said while placing the gem on the ground and staying behind to protect it.
“Point two is covered,” another voice fell in Liyone’s ears through the communication device.
“Point three in place.”
“Point four is prepared.”
“Point five easy!”
One after another, voices of confirmation
came. Although the space was already
sealed with five gems, Liyone waited for more gems to be activated to strengthen it
even more.
The citizens of the city also noticed the
strange dome that had appeared in the sky. Many of them were confused while some were even scared.
Still, they just believed that it was to keep
the criminal inside. It had nothing to do with them. Only those who were trying to leave were fuming as the barrier stopped
them.
“Who do you think you are to stop me? My father is in the government. Does the Hero Academy want to harm the government?!”
A young man was more loud than the others, even threatening the Hero who was responsible for the curfew.
“The government of this measly nation?”
The A Rank hero burst into laughter. Many people had tried to use the fact that they were from Great Hero Families.
Seeing someone use a mere government
that itself relied on the Hero Academy for protection was just too funny for him.
The A Rank hero simply slapped the young
man away.
“Go and tell your government that I hit
Let me see what they can do to me!”
you.
“You! How dare you attack me? You are here to investigate and not to harm civilians. Have you forgotten the rules that
the Hero Academy Members can’t harm
Civilizations?”
Holding his burning cheek, the young man stood up. He was in disbelief that someone actually hit him. So what if he was a Hero?
Could he go against the rules of his own academy?
“Rules that I can’t harm the civilians?” The
Hero’s eyes narrowed. In the blink of an
eye,
he appeared in front of the young man, grabbing him by his throat.
“Even if I kill you here, do you think anyone
here will expose this? Will they go against
the Heroes for someone like you? If you don’t want to die, then scram!” Almost on the verge of suffocating, the
young man was tossed away, hitting his head on a stone. He started bleeding but no one cared.
No one even came forward to help him. In the hand, he had to stand up. Although discontent, he had to find a doctor himself.
“The City is sealed. The others should go back as well.” The Hero told everyone. His words made it appear like he was requesting but his tone was that of an
absolute monarch.
All those who had tried to leave the city started returning. Even the unaffiliated heroes couldn’t do anything except turn
back.
They all started returning, none of them
looking back. However, as the last person turned back, a hand came from behind the
A Rank Hero, closing his mouth. At the same time, a claw penetrated his
back, coming out from his chest, holding
onto his heart. The Hero struggled but he couldn’t free himself.pronovels.(com)
He even reached out his hand to call for
help. If only the civilians could see him and inform the others, he might be saved. However, none of them looked back. The only person who looked back was the
young man whose head was bleeding. His eyes were slightly shocked as he saw what was happening behind him.
The Hero’s eyes lit up, as if begging the young man to inform others. Unfortunately for him, the young man pretended to not
see anything. He simply turned around and
left.
The vision of the hero turned dark as he
lost his life.
Eren tossed his body aside, looking at the
heart of the young man.
After a while, he tossed the heart aside.
The young man didn’t have the ability that
he wanted and he wasn’t interested in filling his slots with useless abilities. Instead of the heart, he picked up the small red gem that was buried here. “Point one confirmed,” Eren smiled while keeping the red gem in his inventory..
