800 Chapter 800- Ghouls (2)

"Ruurrghh… Grrruughh"

Jarr whose bloodshot eyes were still focused on Lucas and his group, slowly got up and started rushing towards them again.

BANG… this time though, they were all prepared, thus none of them got caught off guard. Benny kicked the informant away before he could even get close and sent him crashing into a tree.

"Hoh!! He got up so soon. He got some spunk I admit" he commented seeing Jarr pick himself up again.

"Isn't he just level 155? How did he receive no injury even after getting hit by your attack?" Lucas from the side questioned.

"Who knows, we can question him when he comes to his mind" Saying so, Benny stirred a little bit of his aura, evident that he was a little serious now.

BANG… With an audible boom, he sent the informant flying again.

"Uh-Oh, I forgot to control my strength" The kick this time, sent Jarr flying through the air and crashing heavily into the tree.

CRACK… the sounds of bones breaking and blood splattering was evident. Benny was a level 600+ warrior and the informant was merely around level 155, there was no comparison between the two.

Although he held back most of his powers so as to not outright kill him, the force behind that kick was still enough to render the other party unconscious. After suffering that attack there was no way he was going to get up.

That being said, because Benny made a mistake in controlling his strength, he accidentally sent Jarr flying too high up which resulted in the latter crashing into the top parts of the tree and a branch piercing through their stomach.

PSSHH… guts spilled down on the ground, making for quite a gory scene.

"Dammit, Benny. Why did you go and kill him? We needed the information from that man" Lucas complained in annoyance. They needed Jarr alive to get more information about the situation from him. However, with him dead, there was no way they were going to get any information back from him.

"Ahh man, I tried to control my strength but he moved at the last second. Anyways, we can't help it now that he is dead" Benny spat tearing his eyes away from Jarr.

"Let's go to the Black Town, there are plenty of informants like this man there. I'm sure a couple of them would have the information on the princess that you want".

Lucas nodded begrudgingly. A man like Jarr was dime a dozen in the black town. He was sure that he would find the information he wanted on Cynthia there. In the first place, the news about her came from there only.

With that, just as the group turned around and started walking towards the direction of the black town, a surprising event that shocked Lucas and his group to their very core, occurred.

Jarr's body which they all thought was dead, suddenly started moving.

"Ruurrghh… Grrruughh" the growling started and slowly but surely, he pulled his body out of the branch.

"Wha-What… how is this possible? How is he still alive?"

There was a gaping hole in Jarr's stomach, his guts and intestines which had spilled out, was still dangling on the tree. With the amount of damage he suffered, there was no way he should still be alive much less moving like this.

Maybe because the kick from Benny fractured a couple of his bones too, Jarr was making his way over while walking like a cripple.

"Does anybody know what is going on?"

Benny questioned. The scene occurring in front of him was just too freaky to make sense. Even if he asked his teammates, no one had the answer.

"Tch, then I'll just take him down and then question him" Deciding so, Benny stepped forward and roughed Jarr. Nevertheless, every time the latter fell down, they would get back up again.

This happened again and again causing the initial shock that everyone felt, to deepen even further.

"You gotta be kidding me right? He; no, this thing is still alive with his lower half missing?"…

"Step back Benny. Since physical means don't work, then I'll just burn him to ashes with my magic"

Lucas started conjuring as soon as he said those words. Seconds later, a large fireball more than ten meters big and releasing extreme heat, materialised. On his command, the fireball descended and completely engulfed Jarr within.

Benny jumped back and watched the scene from the distance. It appeared that magic was the solution as he could see the informant turning into ashes.

"Phew, what a weird guy. Hey, are all your friends weirdos like this?" he asked the assassin who did not reply.

"Well, it doesn't matter now that he is dead. Let's go to the black town" Lucas urged. As soon as he uttered those words, a reply that he didn't expect, came from some unknown place.

"The black town is gone. There is no point even if you go there".

Their bodies jolting awake, Lucas and the others hurriedly turned around in alarm. However, no matter where they looked for the owner of the voice, they couldn't find anyone.

"Who is there? Show yourself. Are you the one who sent him?"

Lucas questioned. He spread his senses all around the area trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.

"Well, technically I wasn't the one to turn them like this; however, you are right. I was the one to send them after you" the voice replied. From the tone and pitch of the voice, one could tell that the owner of the voice was a female.

Them? Lucas had several questions; however, he suppressed them all down. At this moment, all of his senses and danger skills, was sending alarm bells inside his mind, warning him of the danger the mysterious voice represented.

To be able to cause him to fear, Lucas was inwardly extremely surprised. It needs to be mentioned that he was an unprecedented genius who had reached the level of 500 at the age of 50. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

There was only a few people in the entire kingdom who had reached that realm. The number was even lower if one counted his talent and age.

To be able to make him fear with just their voice, even Benny Beckman who was regarded as the strongest man in the kingdom was unable to make him feel fear like this. Yet the owner of the voice hadn't even shown themselves and his danger skills was already sensing danger.

It was not only him, every one of them sensed danger from the mysterious voice.

"Are you going to the Black Town?" the voice asked starting an unexpected conversation.

"So you were spying on us from the start?"

Since the other party was able to conceal themselves pretty much perfectly, it was no surprise that they heard of all their conversation.

"Spying is kind of a big word, I do not have such weird hobbies" For some reason the owner of the voice denied those words strongly "Hmph, I know your objective because I was the one who leaked that news in the first place"…

"What?"

As soon as the voice said those words, Lucas and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes. Why would they not after all, if one were to believe her words, it would suggest that it was all a trap set by her.

The news that Princess Cynthia was travelling with a band of adventurers to Castledor from the city of Mountmend and that she was currently inside the Northern Outlaw Forest was what brought Lucas and the others here.

Was all of it a lie? Why did the owner of the voice do that? And what objective could they have?

"You look confused? I guess I didn't make myself clear" Saying so, the mysterious voice who had been speaking to them from an unknown place showed themself.

It was a woman of unordinary beauty. She had long black hair that was neatly tied into a bun, a graceful and curvaceous body that contained incredible allure and a face that made her seem almost otherworldly.

Her beautiful black eyes that was highlighted by her spectacles gave her a sophisticated look.

For people like them, who weren't used to seeing a woman of such extraordinary beauty, they were instantly enamoured. All they could see in their eyes was the woman and the thoughts of lust overwhelmed their mind.

The only people who were able to resist her beauty were Lucas and Benny. Although they weren't entranced, one could still see the look of shock hidden in their eyes.

"I guess it's our first time meeting; however, I know you two very well. Anyway, it's nice to meet you. I am Annette, the loyal maid of Lord Simon. Currently, I am working under Her Highness Cynthia on orders of my master" Annette introduced herself.

"Did you say, Cynthia?" Lucas repeated.

"That's right. Perhaps did I not make myself clear?"…

"Wait, are you saying that you work under Cynthia? Does that mean that she is here?"

Annette did not answer, from Cynthia she became aware of how infatuated Lucas was towards her.

"Perhaps, perhaps not. In any case, the matter about Her Highness won't matter to you from today onwards"…

"What's that supposed to mean?"…

"Exactly what I said"

Saying so, Annette clapped her hands. At that very instant growling noises started coming off from all around the forest around them. Lucas, Benny and the others sensed multiple presences surrounding them.

"This is bad" Benny spoke narrowing his eyes. Not only were they unable to sense this woman named Annette coming, they were distracted enough by her that they did not even realise the other presences approaching them.
