BXBX NOVEL Chapter 868 A Fishy Situation
He kept himself too focused over the issues he had in mind till the late hours of the night. When he tried a few times to lure her away from here, seducing her by sleep and dreams, she didn't comply. She was too carried away by the music and dancing, by the new world she found herself in.
William had no other option but to wait for her to grow tired, sleeping even on his shoulders. He looked at her angelic face and couldn't help but sigh.
"A body of a mature girl, a mind of a four years old girl, despite being a million years monster…" he muttered in low tone, looking around and checking everyone in an area of a few kilometres.
This party was wild! It attracted the attention of many masters. The ones who did it were masters blessed with music spirit elements, enough to entrance and let anyone hearing their play go into a weird state of euphoria.
This was something that might be considered as a deadly weapon in large battles. It wasn't any less effective as illusions. And that was the reason why he kept himself vigilant all the time.
Their music power was strong enough to even affect him at various occasions. When he felt weird, he'd use at once one of the cores he accumulated during his last adventure to get her, start devouring it without any hesitation.
To cleanse his mind and spirit of such illusions, he could use different ways. The easiest way to increase his spirit power, even for a single point.
He didn't know if this group of masters meant well or not, but he had to watch out for the worse. Karoline wasn't the only one sleeping right now, as everyone else who attended this party did.
"It's weird… They all fell asleep at the same moment…" William already prepared himself for a big battle. Yet he didn't know where danger would come from.
When he looked back at the group of masters who started all this, he didn't find a trace of them. "This is fishier…" he slowly placed Karoline's head on the ground, gave her a last look before turning around, looking at the world in a serious gaze.
As far as his spirit sense could reach, all the masters were sleeping like babies. He was sure this wasn't a normal sleep. Even if they exhausted themselves during the party, they wouldn't fall asleep in such a way, at the same moment.
In his eyes, this was the effect of a strong illusion that came from music. And that meant the ones who held such parties didn't have good intentions at all.
"It's remarkable how you managed to stay awake even after getting bombarded with our music for hours!" as he stood in his place motionless, a weird voice came from far, like a voice that came out from an ether or something. Yet he felt like it was like an arrow, assaulting his mind with no mercy.
"Show yourself, bastard!" William seemed enraged, but in fact he wasn't. He already suspected their malicious intentions and acted based on this from the beginning.
"The famous William, the one who is rumoured to stay behind all the big changes that happened in this world… I heard you have a master, the one who made all this possible. I planned to let you sleep, abduct you to lure him out. But as you are still awake, then I'll kill you and use your corpse to fool your master."
William didn't know why, but since he met with Karoline and everyone he met later on started to speak non-stop about anything they had in mind. He didn't know why his enemy spent such effort to explain these things over.
"Why won't we consider sleeping then? Come and get me," he mockingly said, and just from his tone, anyone could tell he wasn't speaking seriously at all.
"We'll see who laughs at whom at the end," William knew he had to trigger the hidden enemies' wrath and taunt them to come for him. He could use detection arrays to find them out. But considering the large space they might be in, it wasn't a good choice.
He didn't transform, didn't take a single weapon out. He wanted to first lure these enemies closer, trick them by his weakness and unreadiness. They looked very confident in their music elements and techniques, and they wouldn't totally believe he didn't get affected at all.
So he acted as if he was partially affected by their music, not showing what any master would do in such a situation.
"Got you!" In the next few minutes, nothing happened. He kept himself standing idly, looking at the world around without batting an eye.
All of sudden, one shadow appeared in his spirit sense. It came from a blind spot from behind, and it moved fast, suiting anyone using the darkness element.
What puzzled William the fact that this attack was done just by one person. He thought others would come at him at the same time, but it felt like the leader of this assassination group was quite vigilant against him.
"Wanna see what I got? Let me play a good show for you then," William realised that this attack was like a probe, aiming to expose all of his hidden abilities, weapons, and techniques.
Any master would respond in such a situation with everything they got, releasing out their full might.
