Eternal Thief

The very next day after the ranking was reset, it created a tremendous storm because eight names vanished from the top hundred rankings and two of them were from the top ten and top twenty and the common thing among them was they were all from wild tribes.

This riled up many and some even suspect Mist Domain’s biggest team, which was led by the second prince, was behind their death and some believe they had provoked a demon beast in the depth of the middle region.

Nevertheless, this didn’t stop others from caring about their hunt, since the last day before the first phase would end was rapidly approaching.

Many had already entered the middle region because the demonic beasts in the outer region were almost gone extinct because of excessive hunting, and now those youths could only try their luck on high-level demonic beasts in the middle region.

This also cause quite a massive death toll on the blade domain side, but those weak yet ambitious demons were fearless and kept charging toward their death.

Inside the throne room in Blade Castle,

Blade Demon King was sternly looking at the report, while Aura Duke was respectfully standing in front of him.

Blade Demon King finally uttered, “Did you find anything unusual about those eleven deaths? All of them were in the top five hundred and all of them had some kind of relation with Wild Wind Tribe.”_.

Aura Duke respectfully answered, “As his majesty already suspects, Thomas’s ranking has suddenly sour, and it seemed he was the one behind these kills. It seemed Jaxx has led that group of demons to hunt Thomas, but it backfires.”

Blade Demon King suddenly smile, but it was extremely forbidding, “It seemed those two princes hadn’t given up and wanted to assassinate every throne candidate in this competition, just like Maddux suspected.

“But it also seemed that brat Thomas had some skills to even escape from twelve powerful demons while killing eleven of them. Hehe, he’s worth nurturing into our blade domain team.”

Aura Duke also nodded. “Yes, but the most shocking of them all is Feng. He remained dormant for over two months before taking the ranking by storm. By how his ranking has been rising, he has been hunting intermediate grade-4 demonic beasts without killing any participants from our side, while he killed the mist domain demons without mercy. He might be the biggest dark horse of eight provinces.”

Aura Duke had personally escorted Feng here, and he felt glad that Feng was here, and he could be an immense help to the blade domain team on the demon gate trail.

Blade Demon King smiled hearing this, he was also quite satisfied with Feng’s performance and had very high hope for him after he showed his talent and judgment.

“Tell those four ingrates, from now on they’re forbidden from taking any actions against Feng. I have given them a chance and since they failed in those two months. They can now forget about touching him again and if I found out they were plotting something behind my back, I didn’t mind cleaning the trash from my tribe.

“You may go now and closely watch over those misty killers. If they move, send the distressed single to me immediately. That bunch might try something in desperation,” Blade Demon King coldly commanded.

Aura Duke bow respectfully before he left the throne hall.

Blade Demon King mutter with a faint icy smile, “Slutty Mist, let me see what will you do out of desperation.”

In Mist Castle, inside Mist Demon Library,

Gianluca kneeling in front of Mist Demon King while trembling slightly, he could feel the deadly air around graceful Mist Demon King right now, as if she killed anyone on a whim, and she was like this for over a month.

This suddenly happened over a month ago, when the entire mist castle heard Mist Demon King’s sorrowful wail, which alarmed everyone, and they all thought someone had sneaked inside the mist castle and attacked Mist Demon King.

However, they were all dead wrong because whoever approached her retreat chamber was killed without any exception. Even one misty demon killer was slaughtered under her sudden outburst.

After that event, everyone was avoiding Mist Demon King and any place near her like a plague.

Today Gianluca was suddenly summoned, and he felt like crying, and he was on the edge all this time while breathing in front of Mist Demon King, who was constantly emitting killing intent. It was too hard for him to even breathe under this invisible oppression.

Mist Demon King impassively said, “I heard one name on the must-kill list has been slain?”

Gianluca furiously nodded and replied timidly, “Y-yes, it was Ramiro Wild Lion, but I seemed he was killed by Thomas Wild Cheveyo…”

Her aura suddenly surged as the vague mist around her turned black, and Gianluca felt like standing in front of death itself.

Mist Demon King coldly said, “You may go.”

It was like he had been pardoned by death itself and without wasting any time; he performed a respectful salute before fleeing the study, leaving the Mist Demon King alone.

Mist Demon King’s eyes suddenly turned moist and melancholy the moment she was alone and two halves of an array plate appeared in her hand.

It was a broken Qi marker array disk, which means the owner was either dead or someone broke it. But by Mist Demon King’s grieving expression, it seemed the former case.

She muttered with a grievance tone as crystal tears flow out from her eyes, “Son, don’t worry mother will avenge you, and I’ll kill every last person of your killer’s family to accompany you!”

That dark mist around her turned into a pitch black vortex, completely blurring Mist Demon King into it.

Only her murderous voice filled with hatred resounded in that library,

“Cedric, even if you won this battle, the war is just starting…”

At this moment, a carriage without any mount pulling it had reached the outskirts of the blade domain, only a couple of miles away from the blade domain.contemporary romance

Inside the carriage, two masked demons were sitting, and they were none other than mysterious Imperial Envoys who has been searching for Sky Stealer around the former Ocean Demon Duchy.

The killer couldn’t help but said in a doubtful tone, “My Lord, why are we going toward Blade Domain?”

The masked demon replied, “Heh, we’ve been searching for months after dealing with that impudent tribe, and we didn’t find any traces of that rat. In the end, I conclude the rat might have already entered a higher hunting ground. Don’t you already find the pattern? First, he appeared in a marquis level tribe, then a duke level, so what could be his next target?”

Killer’s eyes narrowed. “Although I wanted to agree with milord, but even I found it extremely unlikely. King Domains are nothing like those backwater tribes, and they’re our hidden trump cards and defensive lines against intruders. How can a mere thief break into one easily?”

“Heh, you see, here are you extremely wrong? That thief is extremely cunning, and he’ll go to the last place we expect him in the least, and that rat is playing a game with us.

“Don’t you remember the message he left with hex? ‘I’m Back’. It was a taunt meant for someone, and I think he was referring to us, and he might already know why we’re here after we destroy the first city.

“Furthermore, he’s trying to humiliate us by doing these thieveries in tribes under our control, and if this continues, many will lose faith in us. So, if he wanted to give us the biggest blow, where do you think he’ll go and which target he’ll choose?” the masked demon mysterious question.

Killer’s eyes gleamed coldly, “There aren’t many influences that can shake others’ belief in the royal zone, and there are only three, King Domains, Life Demon Association, and Royal Council. If any three of them were to fall or suffer any incident under our protection, it will be an immense blow to our prestige and people started to doubt our authority.”

“Exactly. So, if that hex demon is trying to create chaos and wanted to give us trouble, he’ll go toward a king domain because all these tree places can only be found in a king domain.

“Furthermore, if he somehow pulled a stunt in any of these three crucial influences, we can’t punish them extremely like we were doing to a marquis or duke tribes. This will also backfire on us since it will be seen as we’re bullying the weak, and we can bend laws when it comes to our people.” His voice was deadly cold in the end.

Killer’s eyes turn gloomy, “If that is the case… aren’t we falling that bastard trap and playing in his hand?!”

He didn’t admit nor did he rebuke and merely said, “I don’t know, but if that guy had thought this far, then we can’t let him do as he pleases anymore.

“However, this also makes him predictable, and we can easily entrap him as long as he dared to come into any king’s domain, he’s going to fall right into our trap. Besides, we’re already sent the bait to lure him out. There’s no need to search for him anymore!”
