Chapter 126
I was standing on the rooftop right now, my heart racing as I observed the chaos unfolding from below. How did it come to this? My plan was simple: wait here, ambush Adrian, steal the crystal, and give it to Eldoria’s authorities.
But as usual, the plot changed. Rogues suddenly invaded the place and the Adrian that was supposed to be here multiplied and was now being chased by numerous people so I’m stuck here dumbfounded at how the situation quickly escalated.
"Which Adrian is holding the crystal right now?" I murmured to myself, using my ability to detect every movement. My eyes darted to the east where a Hero was in pursuit. He was fast and determined although the Adrian he was chasing right now doesn’t have the crystal with him.
My gaze shifted to the south where Thane, disguised as a Rogue, was running alongside with another Adrian. However, that Adrian didn’t have the crystal either.
Cursing softly under my breath, I continued to scan the chaotic scene below. Then I saw Kairos chasing another Adrian.
I zoomed on him as ten Rogues emerged from the shadows, surrounding Kairos with a menacing intent. But Kairos just effortlessly released countless of shadowy tendrils from his back as they quickly ensnared the Rogues, twisting them mercilessly and sucking out their life force.
Phantom Bind.
I felt a shudder run down my spine as I watched the his ability. That was only a small portion of his gift, and it was already destructive on a catastrophic scale.
After killing the last of the Rogues, Kairos continued to chase after Adrian. From now, he would easily steal the crystal from Adrian’s hands.
I stared at Adrian, who was still running away. My eyes narrowed as I watched him, my mind racing with thoughts of how to steal the crystal away from him but as I looked at him, I realized something that made my heart sink.
"This is bad..."
