Chapter 7 The Dream Eater Cult
Fang Bo led the two into a residential building.
The stairwell lights had long been out, and the floor was covered in dried blood.
It seems they did not escape unscathed during the beast tide.
Fang Bo carefully observed the two and found that they looked normal and did not show any sadness.
Upon arriving on the fifth floor, Fang Bo stopped in front of a half-open security door.
"My home is right here."
This is where he used to hide.
The entrance was cluttered with furniture, and the room inside had a hole knocked open by something.
While the two men were looking around, he quickly slipped inside and squeezed through the gap into the next room.
Back in the corridor, Fang Bo found a secluded corner to hide.
He can ensure that the other party cannot discover him, while he can hide in the shadows and observe secretly.
Half a minute later, the man's exasperated voice rang out: "Where's that kid?"
The other person replied, "They're not inside; it seems they ran away."
The man swore, and then the sound of rummaging around could be heard.
Doing this is obviously ineffective.
The two realized that the boy had seen through their identities long ago.
Losing the "sample" that we finally found will surely result in punishment from the high priest when we return.
"Damn it, I should have broken his legs first."
"Hmph, you said the same thing when you were dealing with that woman, and then she committed suicide because you weren't watching her closely enough."
"...We've lost two Nightmare Seeds in a row. I won't be able to explain this when I get back."
"Explain my ass! If the Nightmare Forge hadn't been leaked, I'd still be living the high life."
The two of them went on and on complaining.
This includes terms such as the Dream Erosion Cult, Nightmare Seeds, and High Priest.
From their conversation, it was clear that these people seemed to be from the same organization.
The city was searched extensively in order to capture the sacrificial offerings.
Even this beast rampage was caused by an accidental experiment.
The deaths of Fang Bo's parents were caused by these people.
Even the old scholar whom Kha'Zix cherished so much was like this.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as mortal enemies.
A strong feeling of anger rose within me.
Influenced by his emotions, Kha'Zix slowly straightened up, preparing for a fierce battle.
Fang Bo stood up and drew a dagger from his waist.
"Walk."
......
Just as the two members of the Dream Eater Cult were about to leave, they suddenly heard loud wailing coming from upstairs.
The two exchanged a glance and rushed upstairs without saying a word.
Soon, the two arrived at the room upstairs and saw the missing boy kneeling in front of two corpses.
The man paused for a moment, and the tense expression on his face immediately softened.
I thought the other person had run away, but it turns out they couldn't find anyone downstairs, so they came upstairs.
He knelt down in front of Fang Bo, intending to offer a few words of feigned comfort.
Another person was shouting in the corridor, trying to see if there were any survivors in the building.
Fang Bo lowered his head, his breathing very rapid.
The emotions portrayed were incredibly realistic.
The man, oblivious, even reached out to pat the boy's shoulder.
Without warning, the other person turned around and plunged a dagger into his heart.
"Uh." The man's eyes widened instantly.
They looked at each other with disbelief.
I have absolutely no idea why this would happen.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then he saw the boy twist the dagger half a turn.
It completely shattered his heart.
This guy didn't summon any spirits.
This means it is extremely vulnerable and can be easily killed with just a dagger.
After a person dies, the elves will be trapped in the space and will starve to death without food.
At the same time, Kha'Zix fell from above the door frame, his twin scythes outstretched, and slashed fiercely at the remaining man.
The two sides worked together seamlessly, intending to kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
However, the enemy's Shadowclaw Weasel reacted extremely quickly.
Sensing something was wrong, he leaped forward and forcefully shoved Kha'Zix aside.
The two elves landed on either side of the corridor, forming a standoff.
"Damn it," the member of the cult thought angrily.
Being repeatedly tricked made him want to tear the boy apart.
He kicked open the door, only to find that the boy was nowhere to be found.
His companion's body was still warm, as if mocking his incompetence.
The angry man searched everywhere, but couldn't find the other person even after looking all over the house.
Outside, the two elves began a life-or-death battle.
Shadowclaw Weasel's speed is average, and even with its level advantage, it can only barely fight to a standstill.
Its strength lies in its unexpected Dark-type moves.
Its steel-like tail lashed out, and while being parried, it unleashed a Shadow Bite attack.
The sharp, tooth-like energy struck the opponent hard.
Blood splattered from Kha'Zix's shoulder as he flew backward, crashing into the wall before landing again.
It retreated step by step, trying to disappear into the shadows.
Use the advantages of the environment to fight.
But the Shadow Claw Weasel's "sharp gaze" will not let it go.
They kept a firm grasp on the opponent's location.
Kha'Zix, who had retreated a short distance, suddenly stopped.
When it is isolated and helpless, it reaches its strongest form.
Activate Leap Attack, and it charges toward the enemy without hesitation.
This time, its speed completely surpassed that of the Shadow Claw Weasel.
By the time it realized what was happening, the sickle was already upon it.
It was greatly alarmed and tried to gather magic power to unleash Shadow Bite.
Unfortunately, Kha'Zix wasn't going to give it that chance.
The two figures passed each other, and the small body of the Shadow Claw Weasel was split in two.
Kha'Zix wiped the blood off his scythe and looked at the cult members, whose faces were filled with shock.
"You..." He was speechless.
A strong sense of fear spread through my mind and body, and my legs began to tremble involuntarily.
He was completely unlike his previous arrogant self.
Fang Bo stepped out from behind the elf.
He was familiar with the surrounding terrain, making it extremely difficult for the other side to catch him.
He won today's battle, but it also served as a wake-up call for Fang Bo.
Compared to the incredibly powerful Pokémon, the Trainer's own body is far too fragile.
The functional magic he possessed was utterly useless in actual combat.
Ten years of diligent practice in magic might not be as effective as a single bullet.
If given the chance, he must obtain tools for self-defense.
Magical items are too expensive for Fang Bo to afford; his real target should be the Hextech Shop.
Looking at the man's ashen face, Fang Bo asked, "What kind of organization is the Dream Eater Cult?"
Upon hearing those four words, the man snapped back to reality.
A mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Kid, what right do you have to pry into the affairs of the cult?"
Although he was defeated by his opponent, he didn't think the kid could do anything.
The horrors of the Dream Eater Cult are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
In front of those important figures, you can't even control your own life and death.
Even if it meant his death, he would never betray the cult's intelligence.
"One day you will understand that death is just another beginning."
Fang Bo, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, ordered Kazik to sever the other man's neck with a single stroke.
Looking at the two people who died at his hands, Fang Bo felt his stomach churning and staggered into the bathroom, where he began to vomit uncontrollably.
