Chapter 211

It was the masked man!



Hanses could not help but draw in a cold breath when he saw the menacing figure .

He instinctively wanted to warn Kieran and Lawless, but before he could open his mouth, the masked man had already crossed the bridge and dashed past him .

The man headed straight towards Kieran and Jorque, who were fighting, without leaving the slightest sense of presence behind him .

He was like a cool night breeze that no one noticed .

Hanses was slightly stunned . The feeling that he got from the masked man reminded him of another person . It was impossible though .

He quickly collected his thoughts . He hadn’t forgotten what he had to do .

"Careful!" he shouted loudly at his teammates .

. . .

Jorque, who was floating in mid-air, felt a tremendous pain above his chin . He suddenly felt dizzy . As he was sent flying, he still did not understand how Kieran had hit him so easily .

A second attack followed tightly, Kieran hunting his prey like a jaguar .

His kicks caught up with Jorque quickly . They were so fast that even their shadow became a blur . The next kick struck Jorque hard on the waist .

His body suddenly switched direction in mid-air after the second kick .

Kieran would not have minded following up with a third one, but when he heard Hanses shout, he changed his mind .

He had originally intended to kick Jorque’s left leg, but he hit his back instead .



He kicked him from below, aiming straight up .

His face was facing down, and his chest was parallel to the ground, his eyes focused on the reason Hanses was shouting .

The masked man!

Kieran was not sure whether he had been the one who had caused the massacre in the Church Hall, but one thing was clear . He needed to be cautious around that man .

Kieran forcefully retracted his left leg before it could hit Jorque .

A glaring sword flash proved that he had made the right choice .

If he had not retracted his leg, the sword might have crippled him completely .

The rebounding force made Kieran wobble . His chest had originally been facing the ground, but he’d had to turn his back towards the ground instead .

From the looks of it, he was about to slam hard against the floor .

Suddenly, the masked man’s sword chimed lightly . It was driven straight towards Kieran’s head, but a half-moon shaped force crashed the man’s sword first .

After forcefully retracting his left leg, Kieran did not stop there . He diverted his strength and turned it into a roundhouse kick .

His backflip kick triggered the qi wave of the [Blade Kick], crashing the masked man’s sword .

The wave collided with the blade hard and dispersed shortly after the crash, but the blade was prevented from advancing any further .

With a great deal of his stamina gone, Kieran could not afford to rest .



He quickly rolled away, putting some distance between himself and the masked man .

Then he rolled straight towards the castle gate, stood up and panted hard .

The masked man’s gaze followed him, filled with surprise .

Even though the man’s eyes were hidden by black gem glasses, everyone present had sensed his shock .


"Not bad!" a rough voice said from under the mask, admiring Kieran’s abilities .

The man turned his attention away from Kieran and looked at Jorque .

"Captain Jorque, head of the Bestowed, one of the strongest forces Grand Duke Morko relies on," the masked man said in his altered voice .

"Who are you?"

Although Jorque was still suffering from the dizziness caused by Kieran’s kicks, he had noticed the sense of danger coming from the masked man . He had the intuition of a war veteran, and it always served him right .

"Who am I? I am the man who will kill you!"

The masked man laughed in an sinister tone . His altered voice was sharp and irritating, covering his original voice completely .

"Kill me?" Jorque replied with a cold laugh himself .

As the captain of the Bestowed, he was very confident of his abilities and strength .

Jorque did not think that the masked man could kill him, even though the sense of danger around him was overflowing .

This was Jorque’s turf after all . He had a lot of assistance within the castle .

Although part of his squad was still dealing with the rebellion and the armored rhino, some of his men were still in reserve, on the lookout for such a situation .

A red tube was pulled in the air, firing a red flare and dying the dark sky bright red for a moment .

After a while, Gradon arrived with a couple of squads of fully armed soldiers .

He saw Kieran and co, but the masked man in the middle was more eye-catching than the three thieves .

"Gradon, the Grand Duke’s best knight, the Western Commander of the principality! If I could kill you too, that would be even better!" the masked man said lightly in his rough altered voice . He did not seem nervous about being outnumbered and cornered . His tone sounded casual and relaxed .

"What’s going on? The masked man did not even prevent Jorque from releasing the flare . It seems like he does not care how many troops surround him!"

Kieran’s mind suddenly filled with questions about the masked man as he stood in front of the castle gate .

The man was very strong .

Kieran could not deny it . The fact that it had only taken a casual wield of his sword to beat his [Blade Kick], even after the [Bide] power-up, was proof enough .

However, that did not mean that he was so ridiculously strong that he could ignore his enemies’ number .

There were at least sixty to seventy defending troops before him, including the Bestowed Captain, and there were many good fighters among them .

Kieran did not believe that if everyone attacked him at the same time, the masked man would be able to handle it .

"He has something up his sleeve! What is it though?"

A loud, sonorous howl came out of the man’s mouth .

Kieran quickly scanned his surroundings with a frown .

He was hoping to see what the masked man’s backup plan was, but what he saw instead was Hanses’ strange expression .

Kieran wanted to ask what was wrong, but a sudden tremble shook the ground and the huge figure rushing towards them broke him out of his thoughts .

The rhino! The scaled armored rhino!

Kieran finally understood why the masked man was so calm, even though he was obviously outnumbered . The rhino was charging towards them like a speeding tank .

With the help of the rhino’s brute force, the man did not need to worry about the men before him .

The armored rhino had initially been brought to the castle by the rebels, but had fallen under the masked man’s command .

Were the masked man and the rebels related? Were they on the same side?

A theory suddenly bloomed in Kieran’s mind before he frowned even harder .

The Church Hall massacre!
