Chapter 1495: Stare From Darkness

009th Amilder Ail Road.

The giant dome clock tower was towering in the middle of the street. Not a single passerby wasn’t attracted by the unique architecture, but it was a thing of the past.

However, as the news broke out, more and more people paid attention to the place.

Gazes from the dark and in the open stirred up anxiety in the Guardians’ heart.

“These people are really annoying! They should be taught a lesson!”

Aligino, in a long robe, said in a heavy tone.

The other members slightly nodded, expressing their acknowledgement of the suggestion.

No one was willing to be the monkey of the show.

“I’ll go teach them a lesson!”

With acknowledgement, Aligino strode outside, leaving such words behind.

“The leader asked us to gather…”

“Don’t worry! They are just some useless goons, it won’t take long,” Aligino waved his hand without being too concerned.

The other Guardians thought about it and didn’t say anything else.

They were the infamous Guardians! The Guardians that worked under Her name!

Common players were nothing in their eyes!

The others behind Aligino didn’t reject either and none of their presence changed for the worse. Aligino slightly heaved a breath and hastened his steps.

He had to leave quickly! Otherwise it would be too late!

Once Aligino thought about what that person said, the anxiety in his heart rose.

Almost instinctively he remembered what his collaborator had told him: do not provoke the Flaming Devil.

But he quickly shook his head though, not willing to admit his failure because in his point of view, he hadn’t failed at all! All that hit him was pure bad luck! That’s right, an unlucky run!

‘You wait and see! One day, I will make you regret your life!’

Whenever Aligino thought about the insult he received, the stinging sensation troubled him again, as though the hungry monster was worrying him, his breath turning heavy and rushed, but it was soon forced to a pause.

At the front gate, a black, hooded figure with silver lining around the edge was standing there with a longsword.

“Lord Magistrate.”

A quick glance at the longsword told Aligino the person wasn’t the troublesome one, bowing right away.

“Where are you going, Aligino?” the man asked.

“I am going to teach those rats outside a lesson. They are annoying me,” Aligino answered honestly.

Aligino didn’t come up with other excuses because he knew since the Lord Magistrate appeared before him, the words that he said must have been heard.

If he would brush off the man with other excuses, he would be digging his own grave.

“Oh, then be quick. The leader is calling a meeting.”

The man waved his hand without being too concerned.

“Yes, my lord.”

Aligino bowed and strode out, he was going to make it quick. After he got out of the dome clock tower, he strode towards a certain spot.

There were a few players watching the dome clock tower at that spot and when they saw Aligino coming after them, they scattered away like birds.

Aligino dashed forward without further ado, choosing the one who ran the fastest and following him.

The runner was quick, almost as fast as a high-ranker. The scene attracted interested gazes from the other Guardians in the dome clock tower, but they quickly shook their heads.

Since Aligino had his eyes on the prey, this windfall was his and the others couldn’t intervene.

Even the Guardians had their own rules.

They watched Aligino give chase to the man and swiftly vanish beyond the streets.

After making sure all the gazes on him had disappeared, Aligino didn’t stop, following the man in front of him into another street block before stopping.

“I need help,” Aligino said the moment he stopped his steps.

“That is why I am here, tell me what happened,” the man said coldly.

Aligino then told the man what had happened. His version of the story had been beautified and his mistakes were covered up, enlarging Kieran’s luck and emphasizing his own bad luck.

He didn’t do it on purpose though, because he really thought it about it that way, hence the reason it sounded very real.

But…

Pak!

The moment Aligino’s words subsided, the man slapped him fiercely.

Aligino was slapped to the ground without the slightest reaction.

“I told you before to not provoke 2567! He isn’t someone that you can afford to touch!”

The man’s voice got colder. Amid his cold as the arctic wind words, it was hard to tell whether the man was voicing his anger or killer intents and yet it slapped the excuses back into Aligino’s throat.

Aligino climbed up uglily and lowered his head, he had to cover his grudgeful eyes. He couldn’t afford to expose his real thoughts, at least not now! He still wanted the man to help him.

“Go to that place. I’ve told them via messages, you will receive the best protection there. Now leave,” the man said.

He then looked beyond Aligino, or more precisely, behind him.

“Still haven’t seen enough?”

“Of course not. I had been wondering who the man behind Aligino was, never thought it would be you, Ickart,” The magistrate with the sword came in through the street corner and said with a smile.

“I thought some other guys would pick up the bait, I didn’t think it will be you, Lee.”

The man known as Ickart still spoke coldly.

“The others had more important matters to attend to, so I am the most suitable one to deal with this kind of stuff.”

The magistrate walked as he spoke, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Even without unsheathing his sword, the keen aura was assaulting Ickart’s face.

Sou!

The air was torn apart by a sword aura blast that was fired towards Ickart, but before it could touch him, the sword aura was frozen and shattered by a chilly wind.

The next moment, the cold and the sharp aura clashed.

BANG!

Amid the loud bang, Aligino faltered backwards, as if he couldn’t handle the fierce pressure but under the blur, he couldn’t hide his wide grin.

‘Fight! Fight! Fight all you want! Only then I can get the best out of the conflict!’

Ill thoughts brewing in his heart, Aligino quickly sent another message to his other collaborator and ran for it.

However, Aligino didn’t run towards the address Ickart sent him, he took a big U-turn and came back to the scene quietly.

He hid in the shadows and watched the fight while waiting for his other collaborator to send his men out so that he could reap his harvest.

‘2567, you wait for me! I will appear before you in a stronger form! You will understand how big of a mistake it was to go against me!’

Aligino clenched his fist.

Further behind Aligino in the shadow, Kieran was looking at his back silently.

His eyes were dull, as if he was looking at a dead man.
