Chapter 1063 The Assassin of Eternal Flame Decayer Xavier furrowed his brow and said, âActually, it was also for my own sake. At that time, they were fighting with Micah. On Micahâs side, there were several Supreme Flame Decayers and dozens of Flame Decayer experts. If the battle had continued, it might have attracted many beasts and mutants, possibly causing a second beast disturbance in the Misty Mound Forest.â Pfft!
Yael, who was drinking water, suddenly stopped and then turned her head, forcefully spitting out the water as she said, âWait a minute, wait a minute.â âWhatâs wrong?â Xavier asked, looking at him.
âYouâre saying... these youngsters fought with Micah and his group? And it was several Supreme Flame Decayers and over twenty Flame Decayers? They... they all survived unscathed? You must be joking, those Flame Decayers...â Yael spoke up to this point, then his expression changed as he asked, âDid you guys deliberately hide your true strength?â Triston chuckled and walked over to Yael, patting him on the shoulder. âYael, who wouldâve thought, huh? Not only did we survive, but we also took down two of their Supreme Flame Decayers! If it werenât for the disturbances in the Misty Mound Forest, I swear, none of them wouldâve escaped. Weâd have killed them all!â
Yael looked at Gerald and his companions in astonishment. Apart from Hector, the others seemed to be quite young in age. Of course, appearances can be deceiving. There are quite a few skills that can help maintain oneâs physical condition, and most women would choose to practice them. Even so, Yael was still astonished.
He knew very well what kind of person Micah was, and just how strong Micah truly was. And Gerald and his team, they managed to survive under Micahâs command, even killing quite a few of their enemies. This was enough to astonish Yael.
He gave a bitter smile and said, âEarlier, I was saying that you guys donât understand anything. With your level of skill, as long as you donât encounter the Eight Forces or offend them here on Promise Island, I doubt anyone would dare to provoke you. It seems I spoke too much.â âItâs fine!â Gerald said with a slight smile.
Although Gerald couldnât fully trust these two people, at the very least, from his interactions with them so far, he found himself quite fond of Xavier and Yaelâs usual behavior and personalities.
At this moment, Yaelâs eyes lit up slightly and she said, âSo Xavier, if they are willing to help you, wouldnât you be...â
Xavier furrowed his brow and interrupted Yael, saying, âGerald, donât worry about what Yael said. Weâre just strangers who happened to cross paths. Once we pass Mount Arctic, Iâll explain the route to your destination clearly. As for my own affairs, thereâs no need for you to get involved.â Yael fell silent, then mumbled a few words, but didnât say anything more.
Gerald didnât join in the conversation either, and he wasnât sure whether he wanted to help or not! Firstly, he was not sure about the enemyâs strength, and secondly, he did not fully trust what Xavier and Yael had said.
There was once an incident where someone with a clown attribute disguised themselves as Lucinda. Since then, he couldnât guarantee whether Yael and Xavier were putting on an act to deceive them or not.
When Xavier saw that Gerald and the others didnât offer help, a hint of disappointment and dejection flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly brushed it off and said with a smile, âLetâs rest for the night, and if all goes well, we should be able to leave smoothly tomorrow morning.â
With that, he looked at Gerald and the others, saying, âYou all can rest easy tonight. Weâll keep watch here, and if anything unexpected happens, weâll alert everyone.â Gerald nodded his head!
After eating and returning to the car, Kristian cut off communication between the two vehicles and quietly asked, âGerald, should we help them? They seem like decent people.â
âI wouldnât recommend it; itâs better to avoid unnecessary trouble!â At this moment, Hector calmly said, âWe canât necessarily trust everything these people say.â âLetâs take a look first!â Gerald said after pondering for a moment.
âExactly!â Anabel frowned and looked at Kristian, âDonât act like a naive rookie. As of now, we still canât fully trust Xavier!â Kristian scratched his head awkwardly and said, âAlright, I guess my experience is still too hmited.â
âNo worries, you get used to it after a while,â Gerald said with a smile. âLetâs all stay in the car tonight. Even though they said theyâll keep watch, we still need someone awake in the car. Iâll take the first watch tonight!â âAlright!â several people responded.
As night fell, a bonfire blazed outside, with two people sitting around it. Meanwhile, in the neighboring car, thunderous snores could be heard.
Gerald leaned against the window of the hover car, enjoying the calm atmosphere. The off-road hover car was quite spacious, with enough room to unfold a few beds inside. This made sleeping outdoors a rather comfortable experience. Gerald sat for a moment, his expression subtly shifting as he sensed a faint, almost imperceptible presence nearby. He gently shook Triston awake, who opened his eyes and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
Gerald made a silencing gesture and whispered softly, âKeep an eye out over here; I think someone might be following us. Iâll go take a look!â âHmm?â Tristonâs expression shifted. Gerald didnât say much. He jumped out of the car, and at that moment, he saw Xavier getting out of the hover car next door. The two exchanged glances, and Xavier pointed in the direction from which the faint trace of energy had come. And Gerald nodded at him! Clearly, Xavier had noticed it too.
The two night watchmen saw the actions of the pair and simultaneously closed their own mouths! Soon after, Gerald and Xavier almost simultaneously took a step forward, quickly moving towards the location where the aura had burst forth! The formidable auras of the two Supreme Peak Flame Decayers suddenly erupted, and they were not too far apart from each other. In almost an instant, Gerald and Xavier had closed in on him. Not far away, someone was standing there, taking a leak!
Suddenly, he felt two terrifying presences approaching. His face changed, and without worrying about whether he had finished peeing or not, he leaped up and jumped straight into the nearby swamp. Then, it seemed as if he merged with the swamp itself, disappearing completely. Gerald furrowed his brow, clearly, this personâs attribute had some similarities with the swamp.
He couldnât afford to hesitate. With a single downward motion of his hand, the terrifying Vital Energy instantly enveloped the swamp. In the next moment, the ice attribute rapidly spread out, quickly freezing the surrounding marshland.
Beside him, Xavier suddenly paused for a moment, looking at Gerald with surprise. He clearly remembered that when Gerald had fought with Micah before, he had used the thunder attribute. Bang!
At a certain moment, not far away, the frozen ice layer was broken by a figure. Due to the cold, the person couldnât help but shiver all over! Xavier decided not to pay attention to Gerald using the second attribute. With a swift movement of his feet, he instantly appeared in front of the man. With one hand, he grabbed the manâs head and slammed it into the icy surface. Bang!
The ice shattered, and at the same time, Xavier sneered, âWho are you!â âSpare me, spare me, it was Micah who asked me to follow you guys,â the man hurriedly said at that moment.
Xavierâs expression changed as Gerald approached the person. He spoke calmly, âMicah... does he plan to continue attacking us?â
âI can tell you, but... if I do, will you let me go?â The man raised his head, his face covered in blood from the blow he had just received from Xavier. Sure,â Gerald said nonchalantly. âI donât trust you, Xavier, Promise me, or I wonât say a word,â the person said. Xavier nodded and said, âAs long as you confess honestly, Iâll spare your life.â
That person finally felt relieved and quickly explained, âMy attribute-related ability allows me to merge with the swamp, making it possible for me to track people within the Misty Mound Forest without being noticed. Iâve been following you guys for a day, and just now, I really needed to pee, so I couldnât help but come out to relieve myself. I didnât expect to be discovered by you all...â âIs this really what we want to hear? Gerald said, at a loss for words, The person quickly changed their tune and said, âMicah knows youâre from the Eight Forces, thereâs no way heâd let you live.
They must be following you right now. Iâve left marks along the way. He... went to Killshot and asked Nolan to deal with Kristianâs group, while Micah himself... will take care of Xavier and the rest of you...â As he spoke, he shrank his neck back a little!
Xavierâs expression changed as he said, âAre you sure he hired Nolan Goodwin?â Gerald frowned and said, âNolan Goodwin?â
Xavier looked at Gerald with a solernn expression and said, âAn Eternal Flame Decayer... an assassin.â
