The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 957

Chapter 957: 957




Kieran knew who his biggest enemy was at the moment .

So, he didn't only need to complete his sub-mission [The Sheriff's Second Step] and clean up Shatterstone town, he still had to dig out "Modi"'s men that were hiding in the dark .

Kieran was certain, "Modi" must have planted a mole in Shatterstone Town .

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to grasp Holler's whereabouts so precisely .

Anyone else other than "Modi" would take extra care while using Holler as well .

Despite Holler's identity as a mayor of a small town, the town he was in charge of, Shatterstone Town, was not just any town .

Shatterstone Town was located at the starting point of Supreme Road and was very close to one of Burning Dawn's military camps .

The strategic location of the town had already determined Holler's identity to be exceptional .

In fact, Kieran doubted Holler . Without his identity as a wounded soldier from Burning Dawn, would he be able to smoothly ascend to Shatterstone's mayor?

It might seem like a fair election but actually, it has been decided by the higher authorities .

Similar to "Modi"'s mole, he might seem smart and hid quite well but the mole was already blinded by his own greed .

Relying on his dwarf-like body, Old Peeker easily hid in a shadowy spot as he watched the mayor's office further away .

Old Peeker's eyes were struggling because, in order to truly get rewarded, he had to head to the office . However, he had quite the fear of Holler's abilities .

Old Peeker knew where his advantages lied, it was none other than his identity as a hotel owner and his dwarf-like height . As for battle and hiding, it wasn't his forte at all .

He didn't even have any fight capabilities .

Still, Old Peeker decided to risk it despite the realization .

The newly arrived sheriff was a terrifying person . Old Peeker didn't want to stay around to mingle with that bastard .



He worried that he might expose himself accidentally in the future .

"Its all or nothing!"

Old Peeker was taking baby steps as the thought came into his mind but after a single step forward, he froze on the spot .

What did he see?

KIERAN!

Kieran appeared before him somehow without his notice .

"L-Lord sheriff, good evening! I am here to visit Mayor Holler! I heard that he was bewitched, how scary is that!"

Old Peeker was slightly stunned but quickly reacted to the situation; he then said with a sigh .

"I know right . It's really scary, so… can you tell me about this "scary" person in details?"

Kieran nodded and took a glance at Old Peeker .

If it wasn't for his powerful Intuition attribute, allowing Kieran to notice Old Peeker was hiding in that spot for a while, others might really think they bumped into Old Peeker here .

"What did you say? I don't understand . " Old Peeker looked confused .


"He is just bait . Bait to lure out the one who controlled him from the dark . I suppose that mastermind would be curious about what methods I used to "wake" Holler up so quickly . The mastermind might not appear in person because of his vigilance but his mole or spy in the town would definitely show up . " Kieran pointed at the mayor's office .

Old Peeker's face changed but he planned to deny it with all his effort .

"I really don't know what you are talking about . If there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave . " Old Peeker turned around, trying to leave .

Kieran, of course, wouldn't let him escape . A chop at Old Peeker's neck knocked him out cold .



He grabbed Old Peeker by the collar and turned his attention to a further shadowy spot .

Kieran's eyes were as calm and cool as usual . Still, such gazes gave immense pressure to the person hiding in the shadow .

2 to 3 seconds later, the person walked out .

"Don't get it the wrong way, I am not the person you are looking for or one of his men . I am just following the dwarf in your hand here because I was curious . "

It was a young man but slightly older than Volgen, still, there were fine mustache hairs over his lips .

He had a normal looked with short hair; his gray eyes were not uncommon either, even the dark brown leather armor on him was standard .

However, each side of his waist was equipped with a longsword respectively . Seemed like he was a dual wielder .

Kieran took back his gaze at the man, and…

A flash! A chop!

Kieran was not interested in listening to the man's explanation, nor did he want to test the man's words validity with his own .

He had a more simple way to deal with him .

"Wa…"

Snacker's face turned sour when he saw Kieran disappear before him . He never thought Kieran was such a reckless person .

There was an obvious difference in what he saw and what he heard but Kieran's strength was stronger than rumored .

Despite Snacker dodged with all his might, he still felt the wind behind him coming closer .

A bitter smile appeared on Snacker's face .

He knew he was about to be mocked by the other guys but what caused the bitterness in his expression was, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Kieran .

Soon, however, Snacker's bitterness went away .

Souuu!

An arrow grazed the air and was fired at Kieran's arm delivering the blow to Snacker .

Based on the arrow's trajectory, if Kieran continued his chop forward at Snacker, his hand would be perforated .

Blu, who fired the arrow grinned before he took out another arrow from his quiver .

He already predicted what would happen next: Kieran will definitely dodge and he will fall into the relentless arrow rain from Blu .

"You are really a sharpshooter but I am not that bad either!"

Blu thought arrogantly in his heart .

Before this, Kieran was using his bow and arrow to take out the bad guys in Shatterstone . The scene caused exchanges of praise from the people but it made Blu, a well-known sharpshooter in Dawn City unwilling to submit .

He didn't think he was lousier than Kieran; he could even performer better!

Despite the confidence, he was not welcomed by the honor he deserved; the same thing happened when he was in Dawn City .

People said it was because of his competitor disappeared, only then Blu and his friends got the name for themselves . It wasn't the result of their hard work .

Blu was extremely unwilling to submit to the comments . He was helpless against it since his competitor disappeared on his own .

Now, his competitor appeared in Shatterstone Town . He would not let this chance slip again .

He couldn't accept the fact that he was always below his competitor .

Blu quickly adjusted his breath, boosting himself to his prime state .

He wanted to prove his own worth . The string on the bow was pulled back again .

His fingers on the string and the arrow were steady and strong but he hadn't let go .

Kieran's hand didn't even dodge the arrow, instead…

Ding!

The arrow fired hit Kieran's palm precisely . His fair palm didn't bleed at all, it didn't even leave a scratch!

Quite the opposite, the arrow was reflected .

Pak!

Kieran's chop landed on the back of Snacker's neck . He then reached out for the reflected arrow and grabbed it .

As he grabbed the arrow, he threw the arrow back where it came from .

Blu was shocked . He immediately let loose of his finger on the string .

Souu!

Another arrow was fired from his bow and it precisely hit the returning arrow but Blu's arrow was knocked away by the arrow Kieran threw .

The arrow Kieran threw went straight for Blu without any delays .

Blu did a side roll but he didn't dodge it completely . His shoulder was chaffed .

When he saw his leather armor and skin on his shoulder break, Blu stood up with a dumbstruck face, trying to say something .

However, before Blu spoke, another chop from Kieran landed on his back .

Then…

Kieran launched another kick behind him!
