Chapter 252: Chapter 113 ‘The Lantern Bearer’ Vince Lane
Translator: 549690339 I
Young Master Kane was escorted by a group of Fierce Beast Legion guards, boarding a troop carrier and quickly heading for the hollow in the northeast of the camp.
Originally, he wanted to capture someone alive for a good interrogation.
However, just as he stepped out the door, he heard that his troops had not been able to capture their target. The space in the hollow had even collapsed and disappeared?
Aboard the fast-moving steam troop carrier, Young Master Kane flew into a rage, “Damn it, what the hell are those useless creatures doing!”
The old housekeeper also had a cold sweat at this moment, he never expected that such an accident would happen: “Young Master, the Golden Knights have already locked onto that person’s location, they won’t let him escape.”
Now, Kane was not interested in talking more nonsense with the old housekeeper. He turned his head and said to several guards who were running alongside the troop carrier, “You guys go too!”
The attire of these guards was different from that of the standard Fierce Beast Legion troops.
The armor and equipment they wore were mostly glowing with golden light.
These were the Golden Knights of the Fierce Beast Legion.
Every one of them was a Second Tier Card Master or above.
Even while the troop carrier was advancing at full speed, these guards could run alongside at an even pace, exhaling evenly.
Before the words fell, two assassin-type Golden Knights who were adept at tracking already left the convoy, disappearing into the darkness.
The distance from the camp to the hollow in the Alternate Dimension was just over ten kilometers, not far away.
Not long after the convoy set off, they could already see the explosion and flames coming from that direction.
However, at this moment, no one expected something unexpected to happen!
The troop carrier made a sudden brake stop.
It came to a standstill.
Young Master Kane on the carriage almost lost his balance and nearly hit his nose on the seat in front.
Just as he was about to curse, the Golden Knights were already on guard around him as if facing a formidable enemy.
Kane swallowed his following words.
Because at that moment, he saw a strange man wearing a cloak and blindfolded standing in front of the convoy.
If it were just an ordinary person blocking the way, they would have just driven over them.
However, they didn’t dare to do that to this person.
Because, there was a demonic illusion behind the man!
The blindfolded man was standing alone in the middle of the road, not saying a word.
But the terrifying pressure he exuded was like the advent of a Demon God, pressing down on the hundreds of members of the Fierce Beast Legion so hard they dared not even breathe.
Just by looking at this spectacle, the several Golden Knights beside him already felt immense pressure.
The old housekeeper seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and he warned, “Young Master, be careful, it might be one of the ‘Thirteen Masked Knights’!”
Others might not know the origin of the man in front, but as the housekeeper of the Lionheart Family, the old man knew many high-level secrets.
If he guessed right, the man in front of them was definitely an extremely dangerous figure!
In the Federation Black Market, there is an ancient assassin organization called the “Thirteen Masked Knights” that always stays active.
It is said that they are a group of individuals who genuinely love causing chaos.
They are active in all major battlefields, inciting wars, assassinating important figures, assisting rebels in seizing power, funding looters…
Many times in the Federation, high-level turbulence and coup d’etats had the shadows of these organizations’ members involved.
They are fearless and ruthless in their actions, making people tremble with fear at the mere mention of them.
The legend has that as long as you pay a sufficient price, there is no task they cannot complete.
They even dare to assassinate high-ranking nobility!
It has always been rumored in the Noble Circle that the death of the Lord of Sinless City, Stan Miller, was directly linked to this organization!
The clearest signs of them: a cloak, a mask, a Demon’s Illusion!
The person in front of them matches all three criteria.
Young Master Kane was a little scared upon hearing this.
Although he didn’t know about the Masked Organization,
But he felt very clearly that the mysterious man locked his aura unto him.
The feeling of being stared at by an ancient Demon God made him shiver uncontrollably.
A few days ago, when he was glanced at by those murderous eyes in the space, Kane was left lingering fears.
Now, the person in front of his eyes gave him the same feeling.
He felt that this guy… really want to kill him!
The Lionheart Family’s convoy suddenly came to a stop.
The onlookers behind were curious as to what exactly was going on.
They looked up and saw the strange man with a blindfold standing in front of the convoy.
Reuel Bible and his two comrades initially just wanted to come out and see what was happening.
But when they saw the Demon God’s Phantom behind the mysterious man, the three of them changed their expressions.
Low-level hunters don’t get to know much about high-end secrets, so they wouldn’t know what the Demon God’s Phantom signifies.
But as agents of the Federation X Bureau,
They couldn’t be more aware!
Ada recognized the man’s attire at a glance and exclaimed in a low voice, “It’s an assassin of the Thirteen Masked Knights!”
But then, she turned her gaze, and said puzzled, “Strange… I’ve never seen that Demon God’s Phantom in the files before. Could he be a new member of that organization?”
Mushroomhead couldn’t believe it, “Chief, that… couldn’t possibly be the legendary ‘Epic Source Card’, could it?”
Although the Demon God’s Phantom was somewhat vague, it wasn’t hard to make out that the demon had three heads and six arms.
Three heads were respectively an ugly demon, a holy angel, and a blindfolded human face in the middle, with a huge snake tail behind him.
The demon was holding a big sword in its hand, the angel had a pair of scales, and the human face was holding a lantern.
Reuel Bible looked serious as if he had remembered something. He nodded and said, “The scales represent fair judgment, the big sword represents punishment, and the blindfolded lantern… stands for absolute justice. This is Bekas, the Demon God, who represents ‘Justice, Law, and Punishment..’ If I’m not wrong, he must have integrated one of the 52 Epic Origin Cards, the Mark ? Six of Hearts ? Lamplighter!”
