Chapter 122:

Ambush

Whereas analyzing Priscilla’s intentions for transferring to the Rose Jail, Aiden had already thought of the chance that Priscilla might need set her sights on him after repeated setbacks, particularly now that he had confirmed the highly effective device she held that may “seize” others physique.

Taking a look at it from her perspective, Priscilla’s present state of affairs was truly fairly tough. Not solely had she misplaced the “Token of the Nice Witch,” however she additionally needed to rescue somebody from the Rose Jail whereas avoiding the Inquisition.

If Aiden had been in her sneakers now, holding the weapon that may seize somebody physique, there have been two potential programs of motion he might consider.

One was to discover a passerby to swap our bodies with after which escape the Silver Metropolis with no traceby altering our bodies twice in a row, her magical intelligence would virtually actually be leaked.

The opposite choice was to take a danger, seize the physique of the Warden of the Rose Jail when the chance arose, rescue Dailey, after which flee.

When it comes to advantages, the latter choice was clearly extra profitable.

If Priscilla’s pondering went even additional and he or she realized that he might need caught wind of the reality, then it will be much more crucial for her to behave towards him.

To not point out that the previous Aiden was one of many targets Priscilla had initially meant to get rid of.

After all, even when Priscilla had resolved to kill him, it did not essentially imply she needed to strike tonight, simply as he was about to depart the jail. Fact be advised, whereas Aiden had thought of this chance earlier than his departure from the jail, deep down, he felt the chance was not very excessive.

Luckily, he had not fully missed this chance and had determined so as to add an insurance coverage coverage for himself… no, strictly talking, two insurance coverage insurance policies.

Similar to when coping with the mobs final time, he had Dailey’s shadow demon and Arsena’s guardian spirit hooked up to himself beforehandsince it would not value an excessive amount of, this buff was to not be wasted; when it got here to issues of life and dying, it was sensible to be cautious.

Actually, the rationale he might sense somebody tailing him was that the shadow demon hooked up to his shadow detected a shadow that immediately accelerating in the direction of him, and that shadow demon wriggling by his ft as a warning.

With these two protections, Aiden estimated that his present fight capabilities would possibly even surpass Priscilla’s. So, upon realizing he was being adopted, Aiden remained comparatively calm.

Handing over the duty of capturing Priscilla to the Inquisition was the most secure strategy. Nonetheless, if the state of affairs escalated to the purpose the place he needed to confront the opposite celebration instantly, he would attempt to have interaction in a battle.

The shadow demon had not detected the trackers earlier, indicating they hadn’t entered its vary. Now that they had been fully inside this vary, it urged the trackers had been closing in on him.ReAd newest chapters at n0v(e)lbin.co/m Solely

If the tracker was certainly Priscilla, by now she ought to have observed that he wasn’t heading residence after work however heading in the direction of the Inquisition late at nightwhat this implied was self-evident.

Subsequently, this lower in distance must be seen as a prelude to an assault; usually, darkish magic turns into extra highly effective as the space decreases.

Upon seeing Aiden pointing his gun at her and the huge spirit materializing earlier than him, Priscilla’s eyes widened.

In a reflexive motion, she reached behind her waist, however Aiden, who was ready effectively prematurely, was a lot faster.

Instantly, an enormous skeletal ghostly face emerged from below the ghostly cloak, opening its mouth to unleash a soul-shaking roar at Priscilla.

The “Specter’s Roar” at shut vary immediately drained Priscilla’s eyes of expression, inflicting her to lose consciousness on the spot.

Aiden promptly summoned the claw of the shadow demon beneath her shadow, catching her to forestall her from collapsing on to the bottom.

Surveying the unconscious Priscilla earlier than him, Aiden breathed a sigh of reduction.

Good, it is achieved.

This sudden tracker catching up was certainly a bit surprising, however thankfully, he was ready.

“Ugh!” A considerably pained feminine voice got here from Aiden’s route.

Aiden emerged from the road nook and, trying over, noticed an unfamiliar lady standing not distant. She appeared disoriented, holding her head with one hand and the lamppost with the opposite, showing as if she had been dizzy or drunk.

This lady must be the second tracker, Harold’s underling who was tasked with surveillance, somebody he did not acknowledge.

Though nonetheless at a distance, she possible had additionally been affected by the Specter’s Roar.

“Are you okay?” Aiden shouted to her, confirming her identification immediately, “I’m Aiden Garrod, the Warden of the Rose Jail and a former senior inquisitor of the Inquisition bureau. You’re the individual appointed by the Director to observe Rebecca, right?”

“I am high quality…” The girl gave the impression to be recovering, cautiously observing the state of affairs. “What was that simply now?”

“Do not be alarmed. My current actions had been to apprehend a suspect…” Aiden defined, glancing at Priscilla, who was sure by the shadow demon.

Nonetheless, in that look, he immediately froze.

Moments in the past, he was going through Priscilla instantly, however now his perspective shifted to behind the unconscious Priscilla.

At Priscilla’s decrease again… there gave the impression to be a gun tucked there.
