Chapter 58: Working Together With Amira...
Kranos was speechless for a moment, he didn’t have any words to retort as that was basically true. He had heard about how ten years ago the creature was barely in the golden core realm. Sure, she would increase in strength in a short span of ten years but wouldnt it be the same for the creature?
He immediately changed the topic, "do you know the whereabouts of the demon?"
Amira shook her head, "i have only been here for about six months, i had to do many preparations before coming so i am not privy to many information."
"In that case you should head back i will continue the impersonation for you," kranos said with a smile.
"That wont be possible," amira immediately disagreed, seeing kranos frowning she explained, "every week Ko usually check if this gu worm is still present within our body, if it isnt, the person is immediately killed," as she spoke she took off her mask, at the mouth piece of the mask kranos saw a gu worm trapped.
He couldn’t help bbut give the lady a second glance, his frown deepening. This complicated things thankfully he encountered amira, if he had rashly impersonated another person he wouldnt have know how his identity would have been exposed.
Kranos immediately began thinking of counter measures but he could only come up with one. His gaxe turned to amira, even though she could be considered a builty with dark blue hair that was tied into a bun and a slight dimple kranos didn’t dwell on her beauty after all he was a reincarnated old man, how could he be lusting after a little girl old enough to be his granddaughter?
"Why don’t we work together," he suggested, although it seemed like a suggestion amira could feel that the moment she misspoke she wouldnt have the chance to say any last words before she died.
She immediately agreed with kranos suggestion.
"I will come to meet you every night around this time so be available, aside from that throughout the day i will be watching your movements if you do anything out of line don’t blame men for being ruthless!" as kranos spoke he faintly revealed his golden core presure causing amira to feel as though she was standing before the vast heavens and she could be destroyed with just a gust of wind.
Her face rapidly turned pale. Kranos nodded then retracted his pressure. Amira’s face regained their color as she heavily panted, although she couldn’t see the face beneath kranos mask she could faintly feel that his silvery eyes were like dagger that had imprinted themselves into her heart and could destroy her at any time, she immediately shivered the thought.
"How did you plan to deal with the creature before?" kranos asked changing the topic.
At this amira’s face immediately blosomed into a smile, something that seemed like a small orb materialised in her hand, glancing at it kranos felt his lips twitch, isnt this a grenade? The orb looked quite similar to a grenade except for that fact that it had no pin.
"This is i and master’s latest invention before she died, it’s called a mana bomb, by infusing mana into this bomb one can trigger it at will..." reaching this point she stared at kranos before saying, "i have also place this all over my tent in the case where my life is in danger."
She looked at the calm gaxe underneath the mask as though she was waiting for a change in his expression but kranos continued to stare at her expressionessly, she didn’t know kranos was no ordinary young man as he possessed the time ability and could escape her dangerous trap in the nick of time.
Seeing that kranos didn’t have any fear towards her mana bombs she continued explaining, "these mana bombs are infused with master’s mana and have strength at the late stage golden core realm, when i reached where that demon is i wanted to try tossing a couple at it before running away."
Kranos listened calmly, as soon as he heard her last words hecouldnt help but shake his head wryly, "did you forget about it’s seemingly immortal body?" he wasn’t sure before but now he had confirmed that this lady was truly courting death. Kranos then proceeded to advice her on how to gain more information and access where the gu worm was staying.
He also adviced her on some inconsistencies he noticed about her behavior as a man, previously he didn’t think too much about them but upon realising that it was actually a lady he decided to inform her about it, after kranos was done speaking he vanished in a gust of wind.
As soon as kranos vanished amira immediately slumped onto her bed seeimingly tired, she touched her mask and muttered in a low voice, "master, thank you for protecting me..."
...
Kranos appeared outside the tent, what he had expected to be a smooth impersonation turned out to be something else, at least he got a helper. Although kranos didn’t like the idea of trusting people and prefer to do things himself he knew that he had no choice in this case.
Kranos rushed back to the tree where he was hiding before and decided to continue culltivating. While he was cultivating he soon realised that it was morning, he stood up for a bit and stretched his body, at this moment kranos could faintly feel that sooner or later he would grast the third strand of time essence, he jsut needed to be patient and meditate more.
With this he glanced towards the mountain range, he could see amira had already gotten out of her tent and was associating with a couple more black-clothed figures, this was exactly what kranos asked her to do, through associating she could gain valuable information from seemingly smally gossips.
Kranos noticed that her voice had returned to that of a man, he immediately realise that it was probably the work of the mask from the previous night. He stared at amira for a while and after noticing that there was nothing wrong kranos returned to cultivating.ƒreewebɳovel.com
