Chapter 139: Demonic Talismans
Adrian was running madly through the city. As soon as he confirmed that Wraith No. 4 was dead, he felt multiple pairs of eyes falling on him. It was to he point where they even stopped their fights to stare at him.
It wasn’t just their gazes he felt thought. He could feel the killing intent radiating from among a few of them. Of course, it didn’t take a genius for him to know where this killing intent came from.
It came from the rest of the Wraiths. If looks could kill, Adrian was sure that he would have been dead multiple times over. That was why he quickly bolted out of there.
Since his disguise was undone, he didn’t want to give them the chance to get a good look at his face. Since they were relatively far away, he felt that they would have a hard time getting a good look at his face.
The only person he was worried about was Bella. She was very close and was the only person who might have had a good look at his face. However, there was nothing he could do, so he simply left it up to fate.
As he dashed through the streets, he turned his head back to check on the situation behind him. Seeing that no one was chasing him and he was out of their sight, he immediately activated Astral Steps.
He vanished from the street and appeared dozens of meters away. He continued using it until he was a sufficient distance away from the scene. Then, without hesitation, he turned a corner before appearing in another alley.
After checking that he was alone, he vanished inside the Blood Star. The pendant fell on the ground, appearing like a piece of discarded surgery.
Adrian didn’t waste time admiring the scenery inside the Blood Star. He didn’t want to leave it in such an exposed location, but he had no choice.
He quickly changed out of his ribes and donned new ones. These ones were just simple light blue ones, different from the black ones he had been wearing for he past few days.
However, they were made from the same simple and unassuming fabric, with no hint of luxury whatsoever. Then he immediately placed the Veil of a Hundred Shadows back on his head.
A faint shimmer appeared, and his body began changing into that of another. However, this time, it wasn’t the middle-aged man that he was used to using.
