Chapter 466: Collecting the Net
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
After suffering from the almost fatal Sanctuary Force shower, this time around was the normal level of which Kieran had quite the immunity against already .
It wasn't that it didn't hurt anymore, but Kieran has gotten a little use to the stinging sensation .
While being showered by the light force, Kieran turned around and looked at the figure behind him .
Although there were footsteps, the figure was nothing but a visible projection . The upper body was clear but the lower part was only half visible, yet it didn't feel like a haunting spirit .
That projection's reaction time was similar to a real person . When the projection caught Kieran's gaze, he gave Kieran a direct reply .
"Well done . Congratulations, you've passed the trial . "
Smulder's projection clapped his hands while he commemorated Kieran for his successful run but his tone was very cold .
Still, regardless of how cold Smulder's tone was, the system notification came up after .
[Main Mission 1: Complete the Holy Knight Trials within 1 week . (Completed)]
Kieran looked at Smulder's projection and laughed coldly .
"Passed the trials? I am the one with the devil's bloodline and yet I've become a Holy Knight? It sounds so outrageous! Or was it… From the very beginning, this so called trials was just a trap, a lure attract those other parties with ulterior intentions, attracting all of your enemies in one place!" Kieran confronted Smulder .
"You are really something different!" Smulder didn't deny .
"Of course! I am the main bait after all! If without me, the assistant of the God of Earth, how would you, the boorish man that envies Nikorei so much can carry out your plans specifically targeted to me?"
While Kieran had pieces of clues before this but after Black Hound spilled all the information when he lost himself in his self-excitement, Kieran could see the big picture now and got the general idea of what was going on .
Kieran didn't know what Smulder initial plans were but with his appearance on the island, Smulder altered his plans by placing Kieran at the center .
Smulder purposely enlarged his jealousy towards Nikorei and led everyone else to believe that his actions were to vent his anger towards her assistant, even to go as far as conducting a Holy Knight trial just for Kieran alone .
The so called Holy Knight trial really existed but definitely not the one Kieran had just cleared .
This trial was just a huge gamble, or more precisely Smulder was using this trial to exterminate the mole within and those who had their eyes on Sanctuary .
It wasn't hard for Kieran to picture how overjoyed those with ulterior motives were after hearing the arrogant suggestion from Smulder stating that he would be "teaching Nikorei's assistant a lesson and exterminate outer and inner threats along the way" .
They would think the chances that they had been waiting for so long had finally arrived .
Some pawns would start to appear from either the light and the dark side, posing as fake trial-goers .
Just like Kieran speculated before, these trial-goers had their own hidden agendas, they were here to acquire profit in times of trouble and not the really qualified candidates .
Thus, resulting in all sorts of unusual events during the trials .
As for Schmidt, he was also part of Smulder's plan .
Smulder wanted everything to look real and only by including the innocent Schmidt, he could fool those trial-goers and the parties behind them, misleading them to believe he himself had lost his mind over jealousy .
Smulder's plans were successful so far without a doubt . Kieran was sure that some of Smulder's targets had fallen into his trap without noticing .
The projection gaze over Kieran as if he was meeting Kieran for the first time, sizing him up in details .
