Chapter 1066: Chapter 1068: Pursuit Operation
Wen Wen was not worried about being recognized because he had indeed been severely injured from the mysterious attack just now.
Considering those injuries, it was already quite impressive that he had managed to crawl out of the rubble.
Moreover, in the Cataclysm Prison mode, he constantly activated the ‘Mystery’ ability, which would interfere with others’ perception of him, so no one could contact him through the Black Cross.
At most, people might know through internal information that Wen Wen was from the Black Cross camp, but they wouldn’t suspect that Wen Wen was the Black Cross himself.
He limped over to Ha Erman and placed his dirty hand on Ha Erman’s shoulder.
Ha Erman looked at the stain on his shoulder but said nothing.
After all, this Mr. Gui Tan was injured because he helped him.
Wen Wen looked at his clothes in distress, knowing it would take some time before his Containment Officer uniform could be repaired, and the lab coat he had just put on was already half-damaged again.
It was all the Sanctuary’s fault for providing such great clothes, making Wen Wen throw away all his old clothes, leaving him with nothing decent to wear now.
Should he consider snatching one from the monsters?
Ha Erman noticed Wen Wen’s embarrassment and chuckled.
“Once we’re done here, let’s go try on some costumes. The filming of ‘Attack-Defense Path’ needs an outfit that matches the Demon Hunter style.”
Wen Wen nodded in satisfaction, gaining even more fondness for this rich person; the costumes provided by a rich guy shouldn’t be shoddy, right?
While the two were still tangled about clothes, the battle had already begun over there.
Seeing Ishna appear, Egger immediately lost his fighting spirit. Seeing that it was almost evening, he intended to quickly withdraw from the fight to avoid the Black Night Knight showing up.
However, the title of Goddess of War Ishna had been earned through hard battles, and it would not be easy for Egger to escape from her grasp.
Ishna moved like a leaping golden lightning, swiftly maneuvering around Egger’s massive body, with Ha Erman only able to see blurred golden lines.
Every place that golden line swept past, Egger’s flesh burst apart rapidly, the destruction far outpacing his recovery speed.
Egger’s expression turned to horror; his previous defeat to the Black Night Knight could at least be explained by being ambushed initially.
But now, giving his all, he still fell sharply back in front of Ishna, who seemed somewhat detached.
A fierce glint flashed in Egger’s eyes, emanating a strange aura from his body.
“You insist on pushing me to death? Then don’t blame me, you forced me!”
A Catastrophe-Level Expert could consciously eliminate a city from the map, leaving no ordinary person inside alive.
But before he could fully unleash his power, Ishna instantly appeared above his gigantic body, holding a golden glow in her hand — a pure golden orb.
She took a deep breath and threw this golden orb directly, which easily embedded into Egger’s flesh and emitted a dazzling light within his body.
Egger’s flesh met the light, like snow encountering a red-hot branding iron, immediately turning into blood vapor even before hitting the ground, dissipating away.
The golden glow spread through every corner of Egger’s being, yet didn’t affect the outside world at all, causing the giant Egger to vanish into thin air.
A huge, few-meter-high meat cocoon fell to the ground; Egger had not truly turned into that giant form, and it was merely a Battle Puppet composed of filthy flesh.
His real body should be hidden inside this cocoon.
Ishna gently lifted her foot, and with a light flick, a beam of golden light cut open the cocoon.
Inside the cocoon was just a skeletal Egger soaked in a fecal-colored liquid, his hollow gaze indicating near exhaustion.
“This is just an avatar… He managed to run away. When did he escape, and from where?” Ishna frowned.
“It was underground when you descended; he left more than half his strength in the avatar and fled the ground with a small portion of his power.”
A low, husky voice came from behind Ishna.
Ishna turned and saw a figure wrapped in black smoke — the Black Night Knight.
“You watched him run? Why didn’t you stop him?” Ishna said unsatisfied to the Black Night Knight.
The Black Night Knight’s tone remained the same: “I have issues that prevent me from taking action during the day.”
His voice carried a special eerie effect that wasn’t humanly possible, making people feel he was not to be trifled with.
“Now that he’s run off, what are you still doing out here?”
Ishna crossed her arms and huffed coldly, looking away from the Black Night Knight.
She had a grudge against him, which is why Egger ran here, thinking the Black Night Knight wouldn’t easily show up.
The Black Night Knight was the most low-profile among the eight Judicators, quietly accomplishing many things but rarely publicizing it.
At the same time, he was a master of intelligence gathering; the first time he met other Judicators; he had investigated everyone’s background beforehand, including Ishna’s age…
And adhering to the traditional virtue of respecting the old and cherishing the young, the first time he met Ishna, he showed her utmost respect.
At first, Ishna was quite satisfied with his attitude, but the Black Night Knight didn’t understand her sensitivity towards age, and he accidentally revealed her age in front of other Judicators, calling her ‘Lady Ishna.’
They had a fight that day, and their relationship hasn’t been good since. For more chapters visit Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The Black Night Knight rasped, “Galax has already been killed by me. Egger is the last Catastrophe-Level of the Profane Blood; once we take him down, the Profane Blood will collapse.”
“So I want your help with capturing Egger. I can find where he is.”
Ishna elongated her voice, looking at the Black Night Knight in amazement. She knew he didn’t like to show off, but quietly taking down a Catastrophe-Level was really surprising.
“Alright then, I agree. Let’s go after Egger together. However, I want to bring someone along, someone who only has True Sequence strength,” Ishna pondered for a few seconds and said.
The Black Night Knight seemed to chuckle, “Coincidentally, I also want to bring someone along; he also only has True Sequence strength.”
The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously looked at Wen Wen, who was watching in amusement.
Wen Wen’s scalp tingled under their gazes, and he couldn’t help scratching his waist twice. What were these two big shots whispering about?
The Black Night Knight nodded, “Since we’re bringing people, let’s bring both of them along. Egger should be extremely weakened now, and it should be alright to take them.”
