Chapter 116: The assassin
Vanessa gave a peck on his lips before Vritra walked out of the room.
Vritra took a few steps away from the room and after Vanessa had returned inside, his steps halted and his expression became dangerously chilly.
He glanced at one of the corners of the corridor, at the shadow that looked much darker than the others. The dark knight—Vritra had already known about the attack on his mother when he arrived there, but he had held back until now. His rage was boiling over and destructive thoughts filled his mind.
In a low but dangerous voice he commanded, "Bring that rat."
Then he disappeared and flew out of the temple. Before he did anything else, he needed to purge these evil beings who believed they could do whatever they wished in this kingdom and get away with it.
He might have been a bit lenient if they had tried to kill just him. After killing the attackers, he might have let go of their organisation, but now, everything was different. They tried to hurt the person most dear to him. If weighing the entire world on one side, he would still prioritise his mother. How could he allow those creatures to exist?
Vritra flew out of the castle boundary, moving towards the market and flew high into the sky, reaching the point that most people on the ground wouldn’t be able to see or hear him.
After making sure that no one could sense his presence here, Vritra came out of the fourth dimension and halted in the sky. He turned and saw the shadow following behind him.
The dark knight was carrying the unconscious man from the Dawn Minion assassin group. The air itself seemed to be consumed by darkness around the knight.
"Wake him up," Vritra said, his eyes glowing with a faint demonic light. If he didn’t get a source to vent all his rage soon, then he might just end up launching a frontal war with the king.
But there was still time for that to happen.
