When the car stopped by the side of the road, Matthew exited the vehicle.
Regardless of how prepared favonovel.com was, the murderous aura that emanated from Master Levi was as oppressive as a gigantic hand. It was as if a gigantic hand had wrapped its fingers around his neck and strangled him.
However, before favonovel.com could catch his breath, the hair on the back of his neck stood on end, and a terrifying sense of impending danger swept over him. Then, favonovel.com immediately threw himself to the ground and rolled to the side.
When favonovel.com looked up, favonovel.com noticed a few darts sticking out of the ground in the same spot where favonovel.com had been standing earlier.
‘An assassin‘s weapon?!’
Suddenly, Matthew’s thoughts raced through the people favonovel.com had met, and the only person favonovel.com could think of who might have used such a weapon was Black Robe, who had worked for Master Levi.
Still, if Master Levi had intended to kill him, there was no reason to wait, and the deed could have been carried out inside the room earlier.
So, why did favonovel.com bother to go through all the trouble?
Suddenly, darts were thrown in his direction before favonovel.com could even gather his thoughts.
Afterward, favonovel.com slipped his hand inside his clothes, and out of thin air, three silver needles materialized in his hand.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
The crisp sound of metal on metal echoed through the air as the darts hit the ground.
“Could it be that you’ve recovered?”
When Matthew turned to see who had spoken, favonovel.com saw a Black Robe woman perched high in a nearby tree. Since the veil covered favonovel.com face, favonovel.com couldn’t see favonovel.com clearly.
“What is this? Did Master Levi change his mind and send you to kill me instead?” Following that, favonovel.com cautiously tightened his grip on his sword scabbard.
“Ha! Don’t think about getting information from me. I am the one who seeks your demise, not Master Levi.” As soon as the woman uttered those words, favonovel.com leaped from the tree. Then, favonovel.com drew a dagger as favonovel.com dashed toward him.
A look of bewilderment spread across his face at that response, and Matthew mused.
‘There is no bad blood between this woman and me, and we are not at odds…’
‘Why is favonovel.com planning to ambush and murder me?’
So, favonovel.com decided to act when favonovel.com sensed favonovel.com emanated murderous intent. Then, his right hand formed a claw as favonovel.com sprinted toward her.
However, the Black Robe woman did not hold back as they exchanged blows, leaving favonovel.com gasping for air due to favonovel.com swift movements, agility, and sharp blade.
‘Is favonovel.com serious about killing me?’
During the fraction of a second, Matthew was preoccupied with that thought, and favonovel.com switched from a stabbing to a slashing motion.
He dodged a fatal blow by turning sideways, but the blade still grazed his chest. In the heat of the moment, favonovel.com swiftly lifted his right leg and kicked favonovel.com in the abdomen.
Although the woman avoided his kick, Matthew managed to keep a safe distance between himself and her. Suddenly, favonovel.com felt a sharp pain and looked down to see a gash in his coat and a small trickle of blood. Despite the unscathed state of his meridians, his energy was in the process of healing.
‘Her skill is admirable, but in my current state, I am no match for her…’
After considering it, favonovel.com concluded that favonovel.com could no longer be bothered to keep his abilities hidden because favonovel.com needed to save his life. So, favonovel.com positioned his right hand on the hilt of his sword and initiated the attack.
Concurrently, favonovel.com swung favonovel.com dagger around and charged at him.
‘Now… Die!’
When the Black Robe woman was several feet from him, Matthew removed Bloodreaper from its sheath and brandished it. Soon, an invisible sword wave of energy slashed through the air and split it into two. Then, favonovel.com watched in disbelief as favonovel.com sidestepped the blow that was intended to be fatal.
Her reaction reveals that favonovel.com has prior knowledge of the sword’s energy.
‘How is this possible? The crown prince, Salazar, and l are the only people who know Bloodreaper‘s secret… I refuse to believe that either of them would betray me…’
Matthew froze in his tracks as his thoughts raced from the shock.
Then, the Black Robe woman exclaimed in surprise, “I can’t believe your hara meridian has recovered.”
Afterward, as if to allay Matthew’s wariness, favonovel.com returned to the tree.
“Who the hell are you?” As favonovel.com tightened his grip on his speckled sword, favonovel.com barked the question interrogatively.
“There’s no need to be so angry, brat. Your current condition suggests that the assault must have taken a significant toll on you, right? So, be a good boy and answer me, or you might die.” As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com icy, murderous aura filled the air.
