Chapter 184: The Second Clue (2)

　　Looking at how much time had elapsed, Pure Crane figured that Quiet And Steadfast and Nutjob should be catching up soon, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

　　Going back to Morning Glory Chime.

　　She'd immediately turned back when she heard Pure Crane's warning and caught sight of the shorty's sword coming down towards her head.

　　"Ah!" Morning Glory Chime gave a blood-curdling cry as she dodged to the side.

　　A woman's shriek could, at times, be more terrifying than one imagined. The shorty was only one weapon's length away from Morning Glory Chime, and her world-shaking shriek instantly pierced his eardrums and made its way towards his brain.

　　With a buzz, the shorty's ears started ringing, followed by a stab of pain which caused him to draw back his hands and cup his ears unconsciously.

　　The f*ck! Women are truly terrifying!

　　At this moment, a silver light flashed, and a dagger punctured the air as it flew by and buried itself in the shorty's chest.

　　Bullseye! A critical hit to a weak spot!

　　The shorty didn't even have time to cry out for help before he hit the ground.

　　The sudden change in circ.u.mstances caused Morning Glory Chime to unconsciously stop shrieking and stare blankly in the direction the dagger had come from.

　　The man's sneaking suit was tightly wrapped around his tall and slender body, allowing the outline of his figure to stand out and give rise to feelings of arousal. His long black hair was simply tied together with a black hairband, which gave off an exceptionally casual and carefree feel. His face was hidden behind a black veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that could draw in a person's soul. They were a deep black and seemed both expressive and indifferent at the same time. It was as if fire and ice were joined, causing others to be enraptured the moment they laid eyes on him.

　　"Brother Quiet!" Morning Glory Chime happily called out.

　　Pure Crane, who was embroiled in a battle with the two other players from the s.h.i.+nra Sect, immediately beamed with joy when he heard Morning Glory Chime cry out Quiet And Steadfast's name.

　　They've come!

　　In contrast to his joy, the s.h.i.+nra Sect players paused what they were doing, and all of the hairs on their backs instantly stood on end.

　　There were others behind them!
