Danger!

Lee delivered the message nimbly with the combination of his palms and fingers to Kieran .

Then, he stepped back, posing a please gesture to Kieran, signaling him to go up the well .

If Lee didn"t deliver the signs a moment ago, the current scene would be normal, yet it wasn"t .

Kieran went below the well and squinted his eyes at the rope . He tilted his head up to the entrance .

He didn"t climb up the well with the rope though, it struck a weird feeling in his heart .

Even though it was just an instinctive intuition, Kieran trusted his intuition a lot .

He slightly adjusted the ascending angle and jumped up through the well . As Kieran was halfway flying up the well, he tapped his feet on the wall of the well, boosting his falling body up once more, das.h.i.+ng towards the entrance .

Sou Sou Sou Sou!!!

The moment Kieran leaped out of the well, a series of air-breaking noises sounded around him .

Four ropes were fired from different directions at Kieran, trying to tie him down while he was tumbling in mid-air .

Kieran tapped his feet once more in mid-air, allowing him to step on air itself as [Modii Boots] shone .

Kieran who shouldn"t have any spots to relay his strength did a backflip in mid-air, not only did he dodge the ropes trying to latch on him, he landed on the ground firmly as well .

"Eh?" A strange cry sounded from a far .

An average height man with his hair gelled straight up was looking at Kieran with an astonis.h.i.+ng look even with the sungla.s.ses on him .

The man then nodded as if the scene was supposed to unfold like that .

"As expected of the thief that stole the portrait of Aritelgar!" The man said .

The thief that stole Art.i.telgar"s portrait?

Kieran was shocked for a while, but his movements didn"t stop .

He noticed Kana and Jen was tied down on a side . Lee who went down to get him was still able to move freely but surely he was also under the man"s surveillance .

Plus the man"s impolite actions, it seemed like he wasn"t there for chit-chat, even though there wasn"t a real killer intent from the man, Kieran didn"t plan on getting himself caught .

So, he dashed out towards the man .

Ditko, the huntsman that was deployed by the Funeral Society saw Kieran coming at him . He reached out his hands with a heavy face when he saw Kieran"s speed .

Sou Sou Sou Sou!

The four ropes moved on their own again after missing their target for the first time .

No visible figure was controlling the ropes and they moved all by themselves, flying through the air like snakes with wings, trying to entangle Kieran .

However, the ropes missed yet again, even though Ditko was treating this seriously .

Yet it wasn"t Kieran"s maximum speed . His S- Agility boosted his movement speed beyond any commoner"s imagination, four of the ropes could only catch the dust behind his steps .

Then, an area of darkness enveloped the area like a sudden burst of mist .

[Shadow Cloak]!

A 5-meter radius of supernatural darkness not only hidden Kieran"s figure from sight but almost covered the limited s.p.a.ce wholly .

Ditko retreated backward when he saw the darkness descend upon him .

Another rope flew out from his sleeves and started to spin quickly above him, like a propeller of a helicopter . Its loud vibrating sounds was telling everyone present that the strength Ditko exerted into the rope was enormous .

To be honest, Ditko was quite confident of this technique himself . He had once strangled a man"s limbs with his rope and broke his arms multiple times . It was not just a literal breaking of bones but the whole limb torn off by brute force .

So, when Ditko saw Kieran emerged from the darkness before him, trying to reach the spinning rope above him, his heavy expression became slightly relaxed, a victorious grin had appeared on his face as well .

However, the victorious grin was frozen the very next moment . His rope had clearly tangled onto his opponent"s hand but the seemingly common hand of Kieran felt more like an iron forged limb than a man"s hand with flesh and bones .

Kieran"s S- Const.i.tution has also allowed his body to surpa.s.s what a common man could achieve, plus the buffs from [Body of Evil], even without any extra talents, it was impossible for the rope to tear his body apart .

Quite the opposite, not only that Ditko"s rope fail to tear Kieran"s limb but Kieran grabbed onto it tightly on the other end, like a strangling eel .

Right off the bat, a burst of flame appeared in Kieran"s palm, burning the rope that he held on to .

It was like burning Ditko himself as he was in shock .

"Hmph!"

The Huntsman from the Funeral Society grunted heavily and staggered backward . His face was overwhelmed by the fact that his rope was burnt to ashes within seconds .

"How is this possible? Ditko yelled loudly .

His rope might seem common but it was actually made out of a certain fiend"s muscles tendons . Not to mention that common fire couldn"t have harmed it, even if the rope was placed in a furnace for a whole night, it will come out unscathed .

However…

"This is no common fire!"

Ditko quickly reacted to the scene as he was grateful for the complete information that the society provided him on Kieran"s abilities .

The huntsman retreated even quicker right away as the thought struck him . Another rope flew out from his sleeve, dragging him away from Kieran quickly .

Kieran, however, didn"t give chase, because it wasn"t necessary .

He raised his left hand, the devil"s flame was burning fiercely . His right hand quickly searched out for the remaining four ropes that wanted to escape through the corner edges .

Each of the ropes struggled with all their might but Kieran"s harder than iron hand clamped them down dead, rendering their struggle useless .

"I"ll count to three!"

Kieran said and moved his left hand with the burning flame nearer to the ropes on his right .

The ropes acted like they were alive, being afraid of the approaching flame .

After the previous battle with the unnamed fiend, the [Controllable Lineage Fire II] has evolved into [Devil Flame] .

. . .

The devil"s flame, able to burn souls and devour life .

Although Kieran wasn"t sure what the rope before his eyes was, after burning one of them down, the Huntsman was shocked as if he was struck by thunder .

Kieran caught the expression in his eyes clearly .

He only burned one of the ropes, what about all four together?

Even if it wouldn"t kill the Huntsman, it would steal his ability to escape as well .

Kieran knew he had the situation under control, so the counting started .

"One!"

"Two!"

Right after the second count, Ditko appeared again at the corridor without even reaching the third .

"I surrender!"

"I thought I could use the huntsman privilege from the Funeral Society to get myself the rights to enslave from getting a ransom . "

Ditko said loudly with his hands up in the air .

Kieran replied, however, was a hand-chop without any mercy .

Pak!

Ditko fell to the ground as the chop sounded, the ropes then ceased to struggle right after .

Kieran grabbed Ditko by the neck and dragged him beside the well .

"Come out now!" Kieran said to Lee after he saw Lee popping his head out from the well .

"Yes, Great Sir Bird of Death!" Lee altered the address to Kieran without knowing .

After witnessing the battle of Kieran with a huntsman from the society, he knew Kieran wasn"t a common huntsman since he wasn"t an idiot himself . Kieran might very well be a true Hunter .

Lee knew how he should behave and what he should do against a real Hunter .

"I suppose you have something to tell me?" Kieran said slowly .

Lee bitterly smiled instantly .
