Chapter 165 Rancor 1

After stopping the carriage at the side of a canyon, the man dressed in black, tall and thin, came down from his position, leaving the dead body of the coachman there.

He had decided to kill these people the moment he began to act. The reason for this? He noticed this carriage's quality, which indicated a wealthy family behind these people.

In this case, even if he released these people if they were innocent, the power behind them would not leave him untouched. So, to avoid the worst, he had already planned to eliminate each of them when he finished his investigation!

Because of this, poor old Feller had paid the price for standing in this individual's way!

In any case, while rubbing his hands together, this man, who was almost at the peak of the 5th Transformation, reached the side of the right door of Elke's carriage.

As he did so, he placed his hands on the lock and noticed the noises inside it. 'Sounds like they are sleeping.'

'Perfect!'

'I will tie these two up and force them to tell what they know.' His eyes narrowed, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. 'Since they're both going to die, I'll have fun with that girl before that, hehehe.'

'It would be a waste not to taste something so precious... And won't it also be good for her? She'll feel what it's like to be a real woman before she dies! I bet no one has ever shown her what that's like!' He stepped forward as he slowly opened that wooden door.

Swooish!

The moment he entered that cabin, a dagger flew toward one of his eyes without giving him a chance to dodge it.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Sensing Lothur's surprising movement, this man became unbalanced and fell off the step of the carriage, bringing both his hands toward his eye.

Meanwhile, Lothur jumped up from his seat and swung his ax, striking the defenseless abdomen of that person in agony.

When that fellow saw this, he wanted to do something about it, but amidst the pain from his eye and his fall, he was at too much of a disadvantage to dodge.

Not only that, Lothur was faster than he was, so besides being able to circulate some of his energy into his defensive technique, this man was passive to his opponent.

"No!" He tried to shout in desperation, but one of the sharp blades of Lothur's ax fell from above and hit the area near his belly button.

Poof!

Sounds of flesh being cut arose from his belly as his intestines were cut and crushed by that vicious blow from Lothur.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He lost control over his own body, howling in pain, not knowing what to think.

Blows to the gut were one of the worst that one could suffer since the victim did not die immediately but rather from bleeding. Because of this, the pain of being wounded in that region was unbelievable, and soon that man began to suffer from his opponent's second blow.

"Ahhhh!"

"Don't worry. I won't keep you alive!" Lothur coldly said as he pulled his ax back at him, bringing several pieces of that person's insides with that blade.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

As that man in black screamed even more after Lothur retrieved his weapon, the silver-haired young man did not hesitate and used all his strength to slash his opponent's neck.

Puff!

In the blink of an eye, the larger blade of Lothur's ax touched the thin fellow's neck, quickly severing it from the rest of his enemy's body.

With that, the screams finally stopped, while an expression of great pain was on the face of that now severed head.

With that, Elke left the interior of that carriage as she realized that her man had handled the situation. "What about old Feller?" She asked as she looked to the sides and saw no one but Lothur and the corpse at his feet.

Lothur looked toward the front of that carriage with his visual ability and sighed. "He is dead. That man killed him before he stopped the carriage." So, he said after noticing a cut on Feller's throat.

Gulp!

"That..." Elke ran to the side of that fellow she had known for so many years and felt her eyes tear up.

"Elke, I'm sorry," Lothur said as he wiped the blood from his weapons.

He could have tried to act earlier and perhaps saved Feller's life. But that would have been risky not only for him but for Elke, his priority in this place.

Thinking about it, Lothur did not regret his choices!

If Feller dying meant Elke was safe, Lothur was okay with that!

But of course, he would not say something like that to her since there was no need to say such out loud.

So, after cleaning his weapons, he hugged his girl and consoled her for this loss, all the while watching his surroundings to avoid surprises.

"Lothur, what shall we do now?" She asked in a saddened tone.

"We will continue our journey back to Peters City. I guess there must be some map in old Feller's things, right?" He looked into her eyes while still hugging her.

"Hmm, probably..."

"Then we will do that and take the bodies of those two to your family. Since this person killed someone from the Becker family, naturally, your parents will not ignore this matter, right?"

"Yes, they will certainly avenge old Feller's death!" She said, determined to seek justice.

"Well, let's do that." He pulled his beautiful companion away from his arms and did what he was supposed to do, storing the bodies of those two while picking up their spatial rings.

The enemy's spatial ring, Lothur explored for something that could trace it, but when he realized there was nothing, he put it away to check later. As for the coachman's item, he took the maps and returned that man's belongings to Elke.

After identifying a helpful map for them on this trip, Lothur climbed into the front of that carriage, ready to go.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he saw Elke sitting beside him.

"I will be traveling here. I will not be alone inside the carriage while you are here." She replied as she hugged one of his arms.

Lothur could not refute her wish and then suggested. "Come into my lap. If you are only on my side, I won't be as effective in protecting you from potential trouble."

"Oh?" She smiled, sensing that he wanted to take advantage of her. "Hehe, that's better then..."

After that, Elke felt the protection and warmth of Lothur's arms as she sat on his crotch. "It's truly better to travel like this than by your side, dear..."

He laughed but did not say much on the subject. "Unfortunately, we can't have a relaxing evening on this return to Peters City..."

"Sigh!"

"Really... But maybe we can get some rest when we get to my place." She suggested as she looked back. "When we arrive, it will be very early, so we'll still have time until we have to go to the academy."

"Academy? You intend to go to the academy?" He asked in surprise. He thought she would spend the next few days at home to recover as much as possible.

"Of course, I will! Do you think I'll be left behind in Sector-1 without you? Besides, it will be easier for us to continue our things at the academy." She said in a determined tone.

"I have my privacy at home, but if we overdo it, my parents might suspect our relationship before you enter into business with my family."

"So, that's it? Well, I guess that's okay." He thought about it for a while and saw the positive sides. "If we do the sector ascension trials together, it will be better. On the other hand, since we're already changing sectors, we won't have to attend classes this week."

"That will give us time to do your treatment and train."

"Train?" She asked in surprise.

"Yes, I will train you in the traditional way, not just that other way..." He made a little smile as he said that. "Anyway, you need this to reach the 4th Transformation. So, we will spend a lot of time together this week."

"Perfect!" She turned her face forward and murmured, pleased with his planning.

She had learned to enjoy training recently because of her improvements. But by getting a chance to do this with Lothur, she felt even more excited about doing it!
