Chapter 318

Anfey’s friends had already recognized him as their leader, and his words were valued more than anyone’s . However, this time Suzanna did not follow Anfey’s order . She knew him well and she knew he had another mission after she talked to Black Eleven . She didn’t listen to Black Eleven’s warnings and left the property . After Suzanna left, Christian felt compelled to join her and left with Blavi and Hagan .


Suzanna did not venture into the forest . She arrived at her appointed position and waited for Anfey’s signal . Anfey had the Heart of Nature and could sense danger very well . All she needed to do was to wait for his signal .
A man was lying low among the grass a few hundred feet away from where Suzanna was stationed . The way he hid himself was very strange . His back was arched and his body was almost parallel to the ground as if he was a wolf waiting to strike .
A breeze blew through the grass and the man lifted his head to sniff the wind . He was a Wolf Guard, and his senses were much stronger than a normal man’s . He decided that it was too dangerous to advance, so he started to retreat .
Before he could get far, however, he found his path blocked by another man . He lifted his head and found himself staring into a pair of calm eyes . The man took a step back and his body began to grow . Dark fur covered his body and obscured his face . He knew that the people he was following were powerful, but he did not want to be defenseless .
However, the druid was too distracted by the upper body of his opponent and did not notice his legs . Anfey lifted his leg and kicked the druid on the nose . The druid grunted as his body was thrown backwards by the kick . The weakest point on the face of an animal that relies on smell was its nose . If the animal was struck hard enough on the nose, it would lose its will to fight .
Anfey reached over and stabbed the druid with his dagger . However, he felt as if he was stabbing a suit of armor and not a living thing . Only the tip of the dagger entered the druid’s body . The druid jumped back towards a nearby bush . A transformed druid had enhanced strength and was much harder to harm than a normal person . A druid like Bruzuryano was practically impossible to kill in combat . As long as he was not surrounded by people as powerful as he, nothing on a battlefield could harm him . Even if anyone could harm him, it was not possible to kill an archdruid with one blow . A blow like the one Anfey had just dealt was usually enough to kill most of his opponents, but clearly the druid was not one of them .
Anfey frowned . He jumped up and chased after the druid . Then he held out his left hand and reached towards the druid . When he was only a foot or two from the druid, his hand clenched into a fist and punched the druid’s stomach .
The wound on his stomach widened and blood poured out of the cut . The druid slumped to the ground, blood gushing from his stomach . If one looked closely, the man’s entrails were visible through the wound .
"Anfey!" Suzanna scolded when she arrived on the scene . She had already heard the fight and wanted to stop him, but it was clearly too late . Anfey was washing away the blood on his hand with some water elements he had just summoned .
"Is it a druid?" Christian asked .
"It is," Anfey said . He was cruel and coldblooded, but he did everything for a reason . He liked the sensation of killing but he knew when to hold back . He did not want to let the man go just because he was a druid . He needed to send a warning .
"Are you not worried about Bruzuryano?"
"He doesn’t work for Bruzuryano," Anfey said . "He would not send people after us . "
"That doesn’t matter," Christian said, shaking his head . "He’s still a druid . " He sighed and then said, "He works for the Wolf King . Hopefully he won’t send more people after us . "

"What’s done is done," Blavi said . "We have to get moving . "
"We have to do something else before we go," Anfey said . He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the faint sound of hooves beating on the ground . People in the mansion should be on the move already .
"What is it?"
"Christian, do you remember Baron Fruz?"
"Fruz? No . Who’s that?"
"Blavi, do you remember?"
"Not really . "


"You don’t remember the sisters in Lagan City?"
"You mean…the guy Niya slapped?" Christian asked, shocked .
Anfey nodded . "I had Black Eleven do some investigating . I’m fairly certain that he was the one behind those girls’ deaths . The man who did it was a man they call Mad Dog . The girls weren’t the only people he had killed . " He retrieved the document Black Eleven gave him from his dimensional ring and handed it to Christian . "This details some of the atrocities he committed . "
When they first fled Sacred City, they all practiced very hard in order to improve themselves and stay alive . Anfey knew his friends were still all very hardworking, but after their return to Sacred City, everyone had relaxed and was not as keen on getting more powerful as before . Sacred City was like a little paradise for them . They were comfortable and the lifestyle was very relaxed . For old people it was the ideal place to live, but for young people it was not . The comfort would erode away their will to fight . Anfey did not want his friends to waste away in comfort and he knew he needed to do something to remind them of the need to become more powerful .
Christian took the document and began reading . The longer he stared at it, the deeper his frown became . Mad Dog was a madman who never thought of consequences for his actions . He had been a wanted fugitive until Baron Fruz took him under his wings . Since Mad Dog was protected by Baron Fruz, the police could not arrest him .
"Do you want to kill them?" Christian asked .
Blavi moved over and grabbed the document out of curiosity . Anfey nodded .
Anfey had killed a lot of people before, and he knew that killing could bring joy . However, he would not focus on his own emotions when he killed, instead focusing on completing his mission . He would finish his job quickly and immediately flee the area . Sometimes, though, he would stay and kill his target slowly . Especially the ones that deserved it . One time he was hired to kill a mob leader who would sometimes smuggle immigrants into the country . He treated those immigrants as if they were his property instead of as people . Anfey had spent an entire night slowly killing the man and felt immense joy in doing so because he knew just how evil the man was .
Unlike Anfey, Christian was very kind . He was not used to killing, but he knew that killing Mad Dog was necessary . He wanted to give those poor girls the justice they deserved .
"Our mission is to go to Forest Clarm," Christian said slowly . "Wouldn’t this delay us?"
"It’s up to you," Anfey said . "You’re making this decision . "
Christian closed his eyes and recalled the horrific scene they had discovered . Before that, he had never imagined how horrible people could be . He had never witnessed real evil .
Anfey remained quiet . Christian was very passive . Anfey did not make the decision because he wanted Christian to be more aggressive . Christian needed to learn how to be more decisive . His decision at that moment would dictate the fate of Baron Fruz and his men .
