Chapter 453 Just a little more to go!

Kyle sensed a few people coming towards the place he was hiding, and he vanished in a different direction. He wandered among the collapsed structures and avoided every person he encountered on the way.

The gloomy sky above his head began to darken as the dark clouds concealed the faint light that barely made it through.

Kyle stopped beside a lake and pulled the hoodie down from his head. Find new updates at novelhall.com

However, he didn't dare to get close because he saw many skeletons scattered around. Plus, the lake had started to dry up, and the remaining water inside was too dark to be called water. He released a sigh and settled behind a boulder to spend the night there since he did not sense anyone nearby, at least not in close proximity.

"I should try using my flames to break through the layer of energy... maybe it will work? Just a small opening would be enough for me, because once I leave this planet, I can easily escape."

He closed his eyes but snapped them open a minute later when he sensed someone approaching from the distance.

"Darn it! Don't they need to sleep or have a home where their parents are waiting for them? It's so late, and they are still searching for me..."

"It's only my first day on this planet, and I'm already frustrated from running around just to find a quiet and safe spot."

Kyle vanished in another direction, but he screeched to a halt in mid-air when he saw a majestic castle amidst the barren land, surrounded by many stone houses.

His nose twitched as he used his scent perception skill, despite the discomfort, and sensed many powerful treasures inside the grand castle adorned with towering stone walls. He hasn't smelled a single treasure on this planet since he arrived here, and now he sensed so many in a single place... almost as if someone dumped the whole planet's treasures inside the castle.

Kyle glanced at the dark aura surrounding the castle and, without a second thought, he turned around and fled in another direction.

"No way am I going inside when this place could very well be where the shadow general is staying."

"I can fight a divine rank individual right now, but I'm sure the strength beyond that would be too much for me to handle."

In that exact moment, inside the castle, Onicuss opened one of his eyes and his gaze traveled before he fixed his eye on the floating silver-haired human. His lips trickled upward into a smile as he whispered under his breath.

"So, the human has another strong skill besides the teleportation skill?"

He glanced at his feet that had stepped on a fleeting transparent energy, a energy that shouldn't have been visible to him because it was just someone else's perception. However, he sensed it immediately the moment it entered his range.

"A powerful skill that allows its user to smell everything in their surroundings."

Onicuss let out a chuckle. It's the first time he was glad the twin demons successfully extracted the transcendent rank awareness skill from the strongest demi-human body he killed. Now he could naturally sense everything as long as it was in his surroundings.

He lifted his feet and the thing beneath dissipated into thin air.

"How strange... I wouldn't have sensed it because just as his senses were about to reach me, he suddenly withdrew as if he knew my exact location. But I still felt it... It's a shame that even though I was trying to sleep, I couldn't."

Kyle punched the same spot again as the flames covered his fist and the layer of energy in front of him. But then, a deep voice sounded beside him.

"Oho, you are weak, but it seems you will be able to break it..."

"Of course-!"

Kyle's eyes widened as he realized his mistake. He was supposed to be alone! So, who on earth asked him the question?!

He vanished from his spot and appeared in the distance before he fixed his gaze onto the source of the voice.

The first thing that caught his attention were the pair of dark eyes, and then he noticed the wide smile on the face of the elven man floating opposite him.

Kyle clenched his fist and furrowed his brows. He failed to sense the man, even though the latter had come so close to him. Doesn't that mean the person opposite him was very strong?

'But he looks quite ordinary...'

Nevertheless, he moved back further and quickly sniffed the air.

But just as Kyle suspected, he couldn't detect anything from the man dressed in gray across from him, as if the man's presence was merely an illusion.

In the next second, Kyle moved his eyes toward the two individuals flying toward him from the distance.

He wrinkled his nose as a disgusting stench of blood and flesh emanated from the duo, whose bodies were covered in dark robes and entered his nostrils.

'Ugh...'

Kyle pinched his nose before he emptied the contents of his stomach. He quickly made up his mind to disappear in another direction but paused when the two individuals in dark robes started chuckling, albeit faintly.

The twin demons stopped a little further away from Kyle because of the shadow general who had his eyes fixed on the human. However, the human ignored him and kept his eyes on the two demons who were whispering to each other.

"Brother... we found the human, now he can't escape! Hehe."

"No, it wasn't us who found him, it was our master!"

Kyle's face turned rigid when he heard the duo's faint conversation.

He didn't even dare to look at the smiling elven man who had been boring holes into his body with his intense gaze.

'Don't tell me this ordinary-looking elven man is the shadow general? But he doesn't have any visible dark petals engraved on his body, and I can't sense any dark energy from him!?'
