Chapter 549: Probe
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
Its huge body naturally gave it extraordinary strength.
Fuuu!
As it threw itself at Kieran, before it even got close, a strong heavy wind was already assaulting Kieran's face.
His hair was waving, the feather mantle was fluttering fiercely. It was like he was frightened beyond words, standing still at the spot without budging.
Until the disgusting hair extended out from the fiend's stomach, trying to bind him down, Kieran finally jumped up high in the air.
A nimble front flip landed Kieran on the back of the fiend.
Usually, a strong, huge body provided its owner tremendous strength but the downside was sacrificing its nimbleness in its movements.
When Kieran's frosty right hand landed on the fiend's sturdy back, it quickly turned around but around halfway...
Crack, Tsk Tsk Garkkk!
The icy cold layer of frost spread throughout the fiend's body quickly.
The Powerful rank elemental attack turned the vicious fiend into a giant ice statue before it could even counter Kieran's attack.
Kieran though was panting heavily as if he has exhausted most of his stamina.
[Sub mission: Backstreet Kitchen (plete)]
[Backstreet Kitchen: Among the scene of feasting and revelry, it was easier than ever for the fiends to feed on humans. A Crimson Ghost was hiding behind sights, building its nest. Locate and eliminate it.]
...
Kieran glanced over the notification in his vision. Everything was progressing as he expected.
When he took over the case files from Oaker which was about a series of mysterious murders around these blocks, two sub-missions appeared as he flipped through the files.
The first one was [Backstreet Kitchen], which was labeled as a 15 missing person case.
The second one was [Butcher's Massacre].
[Butcher's Massacre: Rudd was longing for the pleasure of slicing meat, hoping to bath in blood. So he became the infamous butcher around the area, slaughtering living beings until he was satisfied!]
...
Judging from the case files, the butcher known as Rudd killed almost 30 to 45 men, maybe even more because of the missing bodies weren't added to the count.
More importantly, the second day he was caught, Rudd successfully broke out of prison. He even snapped two prison guard's neck with his bare hands and vanished from the high-security prison.
Then, more imposters trying to mimic Rudd's modus operandi appeared.
It was what the police concluded in the files.
They didn't think it was possible for Rudd to kill three to five men at the same time. Despite his occupation was a butcher, when Rudd was arrested, he seemed more like a hunter than a meat cleaver, all his targets were loners, especially those scrawny ones who were barely able to resist him, thus concluded in the files.
However, it seemed like the police had neglected the fact that Rudd snapped the neck of two prison guards who were also quite strong themselves.
"A mix up to give more convenience to the Funeral Society?"
After a slight mutter in his heart, Kieran picked up the loot that fell of the Crimson Ghost.
It was a bag similar to a double strapped traveling back, looking far older than modern ones and had some messy thread lingering around.
[Name: Crimson Ghost Stomach]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack/Defense: None]
[Attribute: Able to hold items at least 5 times its size and wouldn't change shape but the weight inside will remain unchanged.]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Remark: Crimson Ghost's stomach is like a black hole, don't ever think of filling it.]
...
No doubt it was a surprise bonus.
Kieran quietly placed [Crimson Ghost Stomach] into his backpack.
Although he wanted to do it the other way around, stuffing the big backpack into the [Crimson Ghost Stomach] instead, he knew it wasn't the time. Kieran turned his attention to the hole that the fiend burst out from.
The hole which was 5-meters deep and over 10-meters wide and was filled with half-eaten bodies.
Kieran jumped into the pile of bodies without hesitation, searching thoroughly. It wasn't an act whatsoever, a stingy Scrooge was always serious about his spoils of wars or loot.
Though, other than some identifications of the dead, there wasn't anything else.
When Kieran came back up from the hole, Lee was present in the back alley, looking at the iced Crimson Ghost. His face couldn't help but look terrified over the shocking scene.
Two weeks ago, Lee had posted up the mission regarding the back alley on the mission board and labeled "potential Crimson Ghost appearance
