Chapter 86: Questions

"Am I that much stronger?" Blake thought to himself because despite Rehabab's speed, he could still clearly see all that had happened and already had a few ways he could have countered him.

Though Hannah's death didn't mean that Blake had lost a valuable pussy, with Kate dead, Blek felt nothing from Hannah's death. He instead sighed when Rehabab turned and faced him and Lena.

Rehabab had mentioned that Lena was a wraith, a mythical creature Blake had only ever read about in books and Blake being wary of this had decided to send out the demon to taste the water, but the fourth order being hadn't been amused by this and had instead decided to do what he desired.

"Demons" Lena said out loud with a flick of her tongue and an irritated look on her face but just before the woman could spit out some other words, Rehabab spoke.

"The rift is about to close." This was all Rehabab said and the words that were about to leave Lena's mouth became stuck and Blake knowing something was going on between the two keenly started at Lena, but unfortunately other than something along the lines of annoyance, he could read nothing from her expression.

"This is your only chance, with all of this" Rehabab said looking around," the amount of scrutinization that is about to hit here isn't something you can escape."

While Lena perfectly understood what Rehabab was talking about and narrowed her eyes at him, Blake who was completely confused about what was going on spoke up.

"What are you talking about."

"The rift is about to close and with that the route into the underworld. While there are other ways to get into the underworld, I doubt you will know it especially with her dead, and with the events that have just happened here, you can imagine the kind of eyes that would soon be scouring this place."

Hearing Rehabab speak about how Kate's death now left him without the ability to create runes, Blake light cursed inwardly as though the system shop should be able to supply him with runes, having Kate around would have been a big convenience.

"And why are being so generous with this information."

"The truth is that this offer was originally meant for just her as I can forgive her transgression.

I originally planned to leave you out here, but then imagining that I wouldn't be able to kill you with my own hands after what you did to my army, I decided to pity you, so how about this.

I would give you a 3-day head start while we are in the underworld before I begin hunting you."

"Not interested"

Without any noticeable reaction, Rehabab nodded at Blake's reply and then he looked at Lena and seeing her turn and began walking in the direction of the valley, he got his answer.

"You are quite talented Blake, it's a shame that you became a demon this late in your ranking journey, had it been before you ascended to the second or even third order, you would have been able to draw out so much more of your potential."

As Rehabab spoke, from the corner of his eyes, Blake could see Lena's slightly falter in her steps and then he was forced to look back at Rehabab as he gave him another offer. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"If you give me the artifact you used to subdue the entire battlefield, I will take you to the underworld and let you be on your merry way."

"Oh, so that's why" Blake thought to himself as he now understood why Rehabab had not been scared of him despite the power the armour of hell had displayed and had instead vehemently pursued him after his transformation.

"Well, I did sacrifice his soldiers so that's another reason," Blake thought and then he rejected the second offer.

"Don't be foolish, whatever energy is in the artefact is by now already used up, what is that in exchange for your life."

"Your words are true, but have you ever considered that perhaps it is a one-time-use treasure."

Blake's words had Rehabab sigh, disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"I am Rehabab, 4th champion of his lord Archduke Matleshore, if we meet again, I will kill you," Rehabab said and followed after Lena, returning to the rift.

"He must really be pressed for time, or is there something else" Blake thought wondering why Rehabab hadn't pushed more for the artefact, considering how powerful whatever artefact he had would be since it had also subdued him.

Watching the back of the two people as they departed, Blake would have loved to say he was relieved at not having to fight either of them given the power that wafted off their beings, Lena particularly, the woman having an aura that put his senses on constant alert.

Lena knew far too much about Blek and with the right train of thought could figure out a lot of things and this was one of the reasons why he had killed her and now seeing her walk away with the information she held, Blake felt bitter..

More importantly, Blake's instincts were going haywire, like he was missing something very important and the further the duo went the stronger this feeling was and soon Blake arrived at a question.

"They have a reason to want to kill me, why are they letting me go."

Sure, Rehabab had mentioned that the rift was about to close, but Rehabab was a fourth-order being and Lena who now fiercely hated him seemed nearly as strong as or stronger than Rehabab.

If the both of them were to gang up on him, Blake didn't see himself surviving for up to a minute and yet they both let him off.

"Am I perhaps looking a horse's gift in the mouth?"

Unable to figure out the reason for his uneasiness, Blake quickly opened the system shop, looking to purchase a movement technique that would help him flee the region.

Blake had just opened the technique when the first ability he saw in the shop had him freezing and the next second spending nearly all his Sin points on it.
