Chapter 25:

‘Grasp… why are you looking at that lovely kitty like that?’

Ignoring Neria’s echoing voice in his head, Philip waited for the right second to strike. He noticed a possibility when the cat let its guard down fully.

“Meow.”

The black cat twisted and turned its physique, loosening its joints, after which let loose a voice that appeared to drip with life and annoyance.

“What a bothersome lady. Of all issues, you needed to search refuge within the headmaster’s academy?”

Startled by the tough voice that grated like iron, Neria referred to as out to Philip.

‘Grasp… was that your voice simply now?’

Philip made a slight motion, tilting his head.

“So, does that imply there’s another person right here?”

This time, as an alternative of nodding once more, he pointed on the cat along with his chin.

The true identification of the black cat was a member of the ‘Shadow Cat Tribe’.

The Shadow Cat Tribe possessed the power to hide themselves in darkness and shadows, and so they have been inherently extra agile and versatile than elves, with a lot of the tribe members participating in actions as assassins.

Sadly, Neria’s naive hope was shattered fully when the cat opened its mouth once more.

“I gained’t kill you mercifully. As an alternative, I’ll make you style the agony for eternity, sufficient so that you can remorse being born…”

It was a sentence one may hear from a demon crawling up from the depths of hell.

‘This may’t be…! That’s a creature from hell. Grasp, you need to kill it and get rid of it rapidly!’

With Neria’s determined plea, Philip sprang into motion.

‘Now!’

He enhanced his bodily talents with Aura and aimed for the very second the cat’s gaze and focus have been scattered.

Like an arrow, Philip’s physique shot ahead and coated the cat.

Irrespective of how well-trained an murderer was, there was no protection in opposition to a shock assault that penetrated their guard. Straight away, Phillip latched onto the cat’s throat along with his claws.

“Kiyaaaaaoaaaoong!”

The sharp cry of a cat echoed by means of the clock tower as Philip swiftly pressed his index finger in opposition to its lips.

“For those who make a sound, I’ll finish you.”

“Meow… weeeeooong.”

Fearful eyes fastened upon the cat as Phillip hesitated.

‘Rattling it, he is aware of who I’m. The place did the data leak?’

“It’s Kane of the Shadow Cat Tribe. Did you assume I got here right here with out figuring out your identification? It’s greatest to desert any ideas of remodeling. The second I sense your physique rising bigger, I’ll snap your neck.”

Reacting to Philip’s warning, the cat, Kane, bared its fangs and snarled.

“You annoying little brat, have you ever gone insane? You’re not my goal. For those who don’t need to find yourself useless with the Crescent, launch me now.”

“I don’t assume you totally comprehend your scenario but.”

Philip firmly held the cat by its scruff, lifting it earlier than forcefully slamming it again onto the bottom.

“Weeaaooong!”

The cat, unable to face up to such a shock in its feline kind, groaned in ache and shot Philip a menacing glare.

“… What would you like? I gained’t reveal something in regards to the shopper or the goal. However I can present some other data, simply let me go.”

Regardless of the fierceness in Kane’s eyes, it surprisingly surrendered with out a lot resistance.

As a race with a feline look, the Shadow Cat Tribe wasn’t identified for his or her loyalty. If it weren’t for the magical contract that they had with “Crescent,” Kane would have simply offered out any details about the mission.

Since Kane’s identification and its whereabouts have been revealed, and with its destiny below the hand of an enemy, Kane knew higher than to problem Philip recklessly.

With out hesitation, Philip started to bind him utilizing the rope he had ready round his waist.The unique look of this chapter may be discovered at Ñøv€lß1n.

He skillfully immobilized the cat’s entrance paws to forestall it from unsheathing its claws; Kane of the Shadow Cat Tribe gave up resisting fully. It was evident that Philip knew his weaknesses.

“I gained’t resist any additional. Simply inform me what you need!”

“What do I would like?”

Philip stared down on the restrained cat with an unyielding expression.

“I need to know the situation of Crescent’s headquarters and their border stage. Moreover, I must know the place of their chief, Neffen. I don’t know when you have that data.”

“What? Are you fully mad, you little…Kyaooong!”

In response, Philip nodded.

“Sure, the chief of Crescent, Neffen, is a demon.”

As quickly as she completed talking, Privia seized Philip’s collar and opened a portal with out hesitation.

“… Huh?”

Earlier than Philip might even react, he was compelled to comply with her by means of the portal.

Within the blink of a watch, the surroundings modified. Astonished, Philip realized they have been now on the again mountain of the academy.

“Can you are taking accountability in your phrases? If it seems to be false, whether or not you’re the successor of the Moonlight Sword or not, you’ll bear the results for deceiving me.”

Dragon Privia prodded Philip with a chilly demeanor. Nonetheless, Philip remained composed, and smiled warmly.

“You already know I’m telling the reality, don’t you?”

Certainly, Privia was already conscious that Philip wasn’t mendacity. Nonetheless, her satisfaction wouldn’t permit her to miss his superficial ploy so simply.

“You have to be grateful in your expertise. If it weren’t for you being the rightful inheritor to the Moonlight Sword, I might have cursed you horribly.”

Unable to comprise his curiosity, Philip requested, “What sort of curse are you speaking about?”

“Erectile dysfunction,” got here the quick and blunt response, sending a shiver down Philip’s backbone as he rubbed his chest.

“I ponder, what sort of pact did Grasp Ottem make with the demons?” Philip felt compelled to delve deeper into this matter.

“If the chief of the Crescent seems to be a demon, then it’s my accountability to confront them. It straight goes in opposition to the pact between demons and dragons.”

‘That’s proper!’

Philip inwardly exclaimed. Nonetheless, his pleasure was abruptly interrupted as Privia restrained him, her gaze seeming to have an inexplicable skill to suppress him.

“However… it’s audacious. How might a human dare to govern and use a dragon? How will you bear the results of such actions?”

‘Grasp…? Is that sister actually a dragon?’

Neria’s frightened voice echoed in his thoughts.

At that second, Privia’s gaze shifted to Neria, who was certain to Philip’s waist.

“What’s this?”

As she reached out, Neria was free of her tie to Philip’s waist and ended up in Privia’s hand.

“Please, don’t torment the kid!”

Shocked, Philip sharply protested. However Privia seemingly disregarded his plea and mumbled one thing as if engaged in a dialog with Neria.

“Alright, cease crying. No, I stated cease crying? Ugh, what’s gotten into you….”

With a mild contact on her temple, Privia handed Neria again to Philip.

As soon as he realized his physique was free to maneuver, Philip held Neria in his arms.

B-byeeng! Hweeeng!

Neria’s frightened cries echoed in his thoughts. Philip tenderly stroked her head to assuage her.

Privia let loose a deep sigh and waved her hand.

“Rattling it. Simply this as soon as, I’ll play alongside along with your act.”

“What?”

“The saying goes, ‘One can overlook your trickery as soon as.’ Nonetheless, the bitterness of your actions will linger for hundreds of years to return.”

Shocked by the sudden change in her angle, Phillip whispered to Neria, ‘What did you say?’

*Sniff*

‘…I simply instructed the grasp to not torment me… *sniff*… that’s all.’

Neria, who began to settle down below Phillip’s contact, replied.

“What’s occurring?”

He didn’t know what had occurred precisely, however the final result was good nonetheless. Phillip bowed to her in gratitude.

“Thanks very a lot.”

Maybe this may be the tip of it, however he managed to resolve the scenario by using on the dragon’s again. He preemptively mourned the assassins from the Crescent faction whom he would encounter sooner or later.

They might almost definitely have a excessive probability of dying or assembly their finish.
