Chapter 2103 - 2101: Killing by Borrowing a Knife
In dealing with the assassination of Alden Martin, Peter Brown became more cautious. He understood that there was a Quasi Saint behind Alden, yet the precise tactics of the Quasi Saint were unknown. Personally carrying out the assassination could risk exposure. Now, with so many Demon Clan experts around, why not let them do the killing?
With this idea in mind, Peter found it easier to proceed.
Occasionally casting a Talisman, a path would appear. Once the path manifested, Alden Martin would encounter a Demon Clan expert, and a fierce battle would ensue between the two.
Alden was puzzled at this point; he discovered that the formation, which previously allowed him free passage, had suddenly altered. No matter which direction he took, he couldn’t find the original path. Although it previously took only a few steps to find the path following the Quasi Saint’s guidance, now it was utterly unreachable.
Realizing this, Alden’s thought was to leave as quickly as possible.
However, while the idea was good, leaving was utterly unfeasible.
When Alden took out a Teleportation Talisman to cast and escape,
it was a Teleportation Talisman personally refined by the Quasi Saint, which should have allowed teleportation even in Demon Clan territories. Yet, inexplicably, the energy here seemed altered. Especially when he took out the Teleportation Talisman, a peculiar energy enveloped it, preventing the Talisman from drawing the necessary energy.
Teleportation requires a vast amount of energy. Now, unable to access such energy, the Teleportation Talisman effectively became useless.
How could this be?
All along, Alden’s confidence lied in his ability to teleport. If he could not win a fight, he would still have this life-saving Teleportation Talisman. Initially, he had two. One was used along the way, and this one was meant to be kept for a critical moment. Unexpectedly, it became unusable.
