Taken aback, the two looked at each other, realizing that their target had used his skill.
"Search around, he could not have gone too fa-"
The words got stuck on his throat.
Spurt!
At that mont, a hole suddenly surfaced on his neck.
Blood spurted, and with wide eyes, the man felt his eyes spin due to blood loss.
He hurriedly covered his bleeding neck, but the blood just kept on oozing out of the gap of his fingers, until his entire arm was covered by his own blood as well.
The other one widened his eyes in shock and horror.
He gripped the knife in his hands and waved it around frantically.
At the sa ti, he summoned his Iron Grade grimoire embedded with five stars in it.
To hell with the rules in Serene City.
As long as he could get out of here alive, everything would not matter.
He could just go out of Serene City and live there without being at the rcy of the guards.
It was also because of this reason that they dared to rob inside Serene City. With sowhere to fall back to once they failed in their endeavor, they naturally had little to fear.
Unfortunately, they t a tough nut to crack this ti.
'Shi! Who said this guy is weak? With a powerful skill like this, how could he be weak?'
The man flipped his grimoire and rested his palm on the surface of the second page imdiately.
However, before he could gather his thoughts to summon his contracted beast, his eyes suddenly blanked out as intense pain ran through his brain.
Before he could react to what was happening, he suddenly felt a force hitting his chest.
The last thing he rembered was that his chest was unusually damp and wet.
He was not sweating and he was not taking a bath.
Strange, what could it be?
His body fell to the ground.
The grimoire dissipated into nothingness, returning to wherever it ca from before it got awakened.
As for the other man, he was still kneeling on the ground. His eyes were as wide as the moon as he stared at Lucas who gradually outlined himself out of the void. In his hands was a cylindrical sharp beast claw almost a foot in length.
Blood dripped down from the claw. The man started to lose vision, his hard and rough breathing gradually cald down until he ceased to breathe at last.
As Lucas flicked the claw to get rid of the blood, the body of the man fell to the ground with a thud.
Lucas looked at the two lifeless with a click of his tongue.
At this mont, aside from his subsiding anger, he did not feel anything at all.
Perhaps, he had already gotten used to it, but killing the two of them did not make him feel guilty at all, in fact, it even made him feel relief.
Relief that he had overco such a trial on his own without relying on Spot's or the Mirage Worm's assistance.
Shaking his head, Lucas looked around, trying to determine whether there was a passerby to witness the fight. That way, he would be able to reason out they were robbing him and that it was just self defense.
He just arrived at Serene City and did not want to get locked up in prison or go into hiding anyti soon.
Lucas looked at Spot and asked him if he could sense anyone nearby.
Spot shook his head before head before leaping up on top of Lucas head.
Sighing, Lucas decided to leave the area.
Since there was no witness, he could just not admit that he was the one who did it.
But just to be safe, he will have to ask Shelsea and the others regarding this issue.
Speaking of them, Lucas had not seen any of them ever since they gave him the Gold Coins.
Shelsea said that they had sothing to take care of, and if he needed anything, he could just go to Black Scroll Bar. If he wanted to et them, he could also just approach the Black Scroll Bar and tell the receptionist about it.
He had also commissioned their friend for kitchen utensils made out of beast products, as well as weapons and armors that he could use.
Kane had stated that he will personally deliver the items once they were done. Lucas was looking forward to that day.
Anyway, he did not think that this was an urgent situation. So he thought that it was better not to disturb Shelsea and the others with their matter.
As for him, he could just continue to live peacefully in his house.
As long as no one bothered his life, would he even care about the life of others?
So ti later, Lucas arrived at his small house that he bought for over a thousand Gold Coins.
Prices of land and houses inside Serene City were not cheap. The one he had bought was even far from the busiest area, and was just a small house with a small courtyard.
However, Lucas was very satisfied with this purchase.
With a roof to shelter from the sun and rain, he had been sleeping peacefully these past few days.
Glancing up, he realized that it was already past noon.
His stomach was also grumbling already, so he decided to prepare a al before he proceeded with studying the new materials he acquired from the Black Scroll Bar earlier.
Entering his house, Lucas smiled in nostalgia as he saw the small space inside.
It was a bit bigger compared to their house in Twilight City but the arrangent and floor plan looked almost the sa.
Part of the reason why he bought this house directly was because it resembled his house in Twilight City too much.
He missed his parents.
With a sigh, Lucas went to the kitchen and began preparing for a simple al.
The house was provided with basic kitchen tools and utensils. It did not take long for him to finish cooking and filling his stomach.
Of course, Spot had his share too.
After he cleaned the small table, Lucas went outside and sat on the chair.
This was his usual place to relax. This was also where he would read most of the information he obtained from Black Scroll Bar.
Without wasting any more ti, Lucas leaned on the recline of the chair and began to flip on the papers one by one.
Afraid that he might miss sothing, Lucas read thoroughly and did not miss on any detail.
The papers contained a lot of information. The na of the treasure, where it was first found, where it could be harvested, how to harvest it and so on.
It was thoroughly detailed that Lucas did not regret buying this information for 5 Gold Coins.
The first page contained a plant called Barktail Fruit. There was also a basic illustration of the fruit right at the top of its na.
The fruit looked like a strawberry but with a fluffy stem that held the fruit from falling off its tree.
Can be cultivated manually, the Barktail Fruit was not a very valuable resource.
According to the information, Barktail Fruit can calm an aggressive dog-type beast.
It can be considered as a sedative, but a mild and natural version. Barktail Fruit can only calm down dog-type beasts, and was not effective to other types of beasts.
Aside from that, only Unranked Grade, Iron Grade Beasts and Unranked , Iron Star 5 Beasts would be able to use it efficiently. Any higher and the plant would lose its effects.
The Barktail Fruit can easily be found in the market. One Barktail Fruit can be bought for 3 Silver Coins in the market.
Normally, one Barktail Fruit would already be enough to calm down an aggressive Iron Grade-Iron Star 5 dog-type beasts, so the price was totally worth it.
Although he did not have any use for this particular plant, Lucas still took note of it as well as its appearance in case he needed it for sothing in the future.
With that, Lucas flipped to the second page and began reading the information of the second plant.
***
anwhile, back to the place of the incident earlier.
Multiple figures in the sa clothing and armor were observing and investigating the scene.
"This one died due to the loss of blood from the puncture on his neck."
"This one had his eyes poked by a sharp object. His neck is also punctured by the sa weapon."
One of them noted down their words, lanting in his heart at how cruel the person who did this to the two helpless n.
A while later, another man donning the sa outfit approached.
"It's verified. These two are Sigarni and Joshua."
"There are multiple cases of them being reported of theft and robbery. However, without clear evidence, they had always escaped our radar. They originally lived in Southern parth, but everyti they got reported, they would move to another location."
"According to the information we got, this is the seventh ti that they have moved location this month alone."
