Chapter 223: Fierce Battle
"What do you want?" Hansen stared sharply at the man standing only a few steps away. His voice was calm, yet carried a pressure that made several people nearby instinctively swallow hard.The man smirked, his eyes sweeping over Serisya who stood behind Hansen. "My name’s Saung," he said while adjusting the cloth at his waist. "And of course… to take that beautiful girl. What else?" His smirk turned into a grin full of arrogance. "You’d better step aside, boy. We’re not people you can deal with easily."That statement made Saung’s followers chuckle, some of them already twirling their weapons. Their eyes never left Serisya’s face, her beauty shining even brighter with her veil lifted.Serisya pressed herself closer behind Hansen. Her hand slowly gripped the hilt of her own sword, though her eyes were full of vigilance. She knew these men wouldn’t back down just because of words.Hansen took a deep breath, his shoulders lowering slightly, his stance shifting—from relaxed to battle-ready
Chapter 222: In the Middle of the City
Time passed in a blink—it had been three days since they left the dangerous forest behind. Now, the two of them walked side by side along the main road of a small but bustling town. Though the sky was overcast, the town was alive with shouting merchants hawking their goods, children running through the streets, and the aroma of food from roadside stalls making their stomachs growl."We need a break—and real food. I’m tired of the dried stuff we’ve been eating in the forest," Serisya said in a playful tone, glancing at Hansen with a faint smile. A light drizzle cooled the air, but her presence made it feel warmer to him.Hansen nodded. "No problem. Let’s find a place that smells good."They chose a modest tavern at the corner of a street. It wasn’t too crowded, but it looked clean, and the scent of grilled meat filled the air. They sat at a corner table by the window while a slightly nervous waitress jotted down their order.Soon after, their food arrived—a steaming bowl of meat soup,
Chapter 221: A Night of Warmth
They left the blood-scented place, searching for somewhere safer and more peaceful to rest.After leading their horses along a narrow path through the trees for some time, Hansen paused and looked toward a rocky slope partially hidden behind thick shrubs. There, he spotted a small cave—sturdy and shielded from the night wind."There’s a cave over there," Hansen said, pointing. "We’ll spend the night there. It’s too risky to continue traveling in the dark.""Of course, that’s no problem at all," Serisya replied with a gentle smile. Her eyes lingered on Hansen’s tired yet vigilant face. She realized how much he always prioritized their safety.The two of them tied their horses to a large tree near the cave’s entrance. Hansen scanned the area to ensure there were no signs of wild animals nearby. Once he was confident, they stepped inside.The cave was deeper than it looked. Its walls were damp but solid. The sound of the night wind barely reached them, making it an ideal shelter. Still,
Chapter 220: Fury in the Shadows
Hansen hid Serisya inside the Dragon Slate, a personal dimensional space that only he could access. His heart calmed slightly after ensuring the girl was in a safe place. Inside, Serisya was not only hidden from threats but also protected from the external forces that could endanger her body and soul."I’ll come back," Hansen whispered in his heart, before vanishing from the world’s view.His body reappeared outside in a form nearly imperceptible to the human eye. He used a technique he had named himself—Mist Technique. This technique made his presence invisible and undetectable, as if he were a thin fog blended into the air.Hansen had tested it even near Divine King-level experts. So far, no one had been able to detect him while it was active. And tonight, amid chaos and bloodshed, this technique would once again become a shadow of death.Swoosh!A flash of silver sliced through the air, followed by a sharp whistle—and the thud of a collapsing body.One of Arya Wibisono’s subordinat
Chapter 219: Traces Toward Clues
At this moment, Hansen and Serisya were traveling toward a place believed to hold important clues regarding the use of the Phoenix Crystal Key. Serisya wore a thin violet-blue veil covering part of her face, concealing her identity as the Princess of the Sora Kingdom. She appeared graceful and mysterious behind the veil, emanating an aura that made anyone hesitant to approach without a good reason.They rode two reddish-brown horses, muscular and agile. The sky hung heavy with clouds, while a gentle wind swept over the wild grasses sprawling along the dirt path they followed. Hansen, seated atop his saddle, glanced ahead with a hint of uncertainty."Are we heading in the right direction?" he asked, turning to Serisya beside him. His face revealed genuine curiosity. He hadn’t been in this world long, and much of the territory was still unfamiliar to him.Serisya nodded softly. "According to the scroll, we’re supposed to head northeast. Landmarks like standing stones and ancient banyan
Chapter 218: The Replaced Head
The room was silent, broken only by heavy breathing and the angry snorts of an old man dressed in a black and gold robe. Dorman, the Head of the Family, sat on his grand throne. His sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, burned with rage as two guards carried in Roen on a simple stretcher. Roen’s body was limp, his left leg wrapped in thick bandages soaked with dried blood. His face was pale, clearly enduring excruciating pain.Without a word, one of the guards threw Roen to the floor in front of Dorman. The weakened body tumbled, crashing onto the cold marble floor.Dorman stood, his body trembling. "Tell me who killed my son?" His voice was low, yet carried a weight that shook the entire room.Roen gritted his teeth. The pain in his leg nearly made him faint, but he forced himself to stay conscious. "They were from an assassination organization," he replied softly."Assassination organization?" Dorman frowned. "Do you think I don't know there are thousands of assassin groups across thi
