Chapter 230

Yet, she couldn't sense anyone. Even while talking to the statue of her uncle, she had been constantly scanning every corner but found no one.

'Is this a coincidence? Or something more deliberate? Why do I feel on edge?'

She pondered, her gaze intense as she looked at the spot where Oliver was currently standing.

Tap, tap.

Her heels clicked against the floor as she began walking toward Oliver, making him panic.

Even though the Abyssal energy was shielding him, if the demon got too close or made contact with him, she would definitely discover him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just as she reached out toward the Abyssal dome, a voice echoed in the temple.

"Miss Sera." The voice belonged to a new arrival at the temple's entrance—a demonic man wearing the same inquisitor uniform as the woman, whose name was apparently Sera.

Oliver's heart leapt with unexpected relief as the interruption came at the perfect moment.

Sera, who had been interrupted, paused, mere inches away from touching Oliver's face.

She turned to look at the demon who had called out to her, and Oliver let out a relieved breath as he, too, observed the newcomer.

The man had red fur on his head, a halo of lightning arcing around his long metallic horns, and a strong mouth with fang-like teeth. His yellow irises seemed special—Oliver sensed subtle fluctuations from them. He knew at a glance that they were unique compared to ordinary eyes.

The yellow irises swirled and churned like a desert sandstorm, while his red fur was crawling with bugs and matted with filth and excrement. His well-muscled arms ended in fingers tipped with sharp nails, and his legs were shaped like those of a goat, with black cloven hooves instead of feet.

Finally, a thick tail swung back and forth behind him, its end shaped like a fused club of spiked carapace.

'So it's true that a human has entered the city secretly, and a child? I doubt it. I couldn't sense him at all despite being constantly observed. There's no way a human child could deceive my senses.'

"Seal the city. Have them dispatch forces to investigate every corner, ask Vasoth to search as well, and I think you've been deceived by the scent. It couldn't belong to a child. Try searching for an adult human man instead," Sera ordered.

"This... I'm sure it was a child..." Drul hesitantly replied.

"The human who intruded is quite clever. If I'm not wrong, he has completely deceived us by deliberately leaving traces of scent behind and masking it to resemble a child's scent, leading you here. Two of us three inquisitors are now here, while Vasoth is alone. It wouldn't be strange if the human has already escaped far."

"What!?" Drul was stunned. Even Sera's senses had been deceived by the human; it sounded ridiculous. Sera was their captain and the strongest of the three.

Not only that, she was one of the most talented demons of her generation. There were hardly a few who could match her.

They were all inquisitors on a mission sent by the central order. All of them were powerful in their own leagues; otherwise, they wouldn't be inquisitors. If a human strong enough to fool Sera's senses had intruded, then it was obvious the humans were planning something serious.

'Aren't they talking about me?' Oliver smiled wryly as he looked at the two demons in front of him, discussing him and making plans.

'They even seem to have a misunderstanding. This woman, Sera, is too cautious; she complicated things for herself.'

Oliver felt great that it turned out this way. It was better for them to think like this and be on high alert while he could maneuver secretly when they chased after the imaginary strong man.

Sera's words quickly settled as Drul immediately rushed back to Vasoth since Sera alone was enough.

As Drul left, Oliver's gaze flickered. He knew he had limited time to make his next move.

Oliver's eyes wandered around as he thought about his future plans. These demons were too clever; they had sensed the space fluctuation, which wasn't something an ordinary demon was capable of.

In fact, the concept of space itself was unfamiliar to most people, be they human or demon, unless they were special.

So for someone to be aware of such a thing, they had to be either an array master or a high-ranking individual.

Sera was definitely dangerous. She almost came close to discovering him just based on her intuition.
