Dungeon Of Pride, Laplace

800 Chapter 800- Ghouls (2)

"Ruurrghh... Grrruughh"

Jarr whose bloodshot eyes were still focused on Lucas and his group, slowly got up and started rushing towards them again.

BANG... this time though, they were all prepared, thus none of them got caught off guard. Benny kicked the informant away before he could even get close and sent him crashing into a tree.

"Hoh!! He got up so soon. He got some spunk I admit" he commented seeing Jarr pick himself up again.

"Isn't he just level 155? How did he receive no injury even after getting hit by your attack?" Lucas from the side questioned.

"Who knows, we can question him when he comes to his mind" Saying so, Benny stirred a little bit of his aura, evident that he was a little serious now.

BANG... With an audible boom, he sent the informant flying again.

"Uh-Oh, I forgot to control my strength" The kick this time, sent Jarr flying through the air and crashing heavily into the tree.

CRACK... the sounds of bones breaking and blood splattering was evident. Benny was a level 600+ warrior and the informant was merely around level 155, there was no comparison between the two.

Although he held back most of his powers so as to not outright kill him, the force behind that kick was still enough to render the other party unconscious. After suffering that attack there was no way he was going to get up. Follow current novels at wuxiahere.com)

That being said, because Benny made a mistake in controlling his strength, he accidentally sent Jarr flying too high up which resulted in the latter crashing into the top parts of the tree and a branch piercing through their stomach.

PSSHH... guts spilled down on the ground, making for quite a gory scene.

"Dammit, Benny. Why did you go and kill him? We needed the information from that man" Lucas complained in annoyance. They needed Jarr alive to get more information about the situation from him. However, with him dead, there was no way they were going to get any information back from him.

"Ahh man, I tried to control my strength but he moved at the last second. Anyways, we can't help it now that he is dead" Benny spat tearing his eyes away from Jarr.

"Let's go to the Black Town, there are plenty of informants like this man there. I'm sure a couple of them would have the information on the princess that you want".

Lucas nodded begrudgingly. A man like Jarr was dime a dozen in the black town. He was sure that he would find the information he wanted on Cynthia there. In the first place, the news about her came from there only.

With that, just as the group turned around and started walking towards the direction of the black town, a surprising event that shocked Lucas and his group to their very core, occurred.

Jarr's body which they all thought was dead, suddenly started moving.

"Ruurrghh... Grrruughh" the growling started and slowly but surely, he pulled his body out of the branch.

"Wha-What... how is this possible? How is he still alive?"

There was a gaping hole in Jarr's stomach, his guts and intestines which had spilled out, was still dangling on the tree. With the amount of damage he suffered, there was no way he should still be alive much less moving like this.

"So you were spying on us from the start?"

Since the other party was able to conceal themselves pretty much perfectly, it was no surprise that they heard of all their conversation.

"Spying is kind of a big word, I do not have such weird hobbies" For some reason the owner of the voice denied those words strongly "Hmph, I know your objective because I was the one who leaked that news in the first place"...

"What?"

As soon as the voice said those words, Lucas and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes. Why would they not after all, if one were to believe her words, it would suggest that it was all a trap set by her.

The news that Princess Cynthia was travelling with a band of adventurers to Castledor from the city of Mountmend and that she was currently inside the Northern Outlaw Forest was what brought Lucas and the others here.

Was all of it a lie? Why did the owner of the voice do that? And what objective could they have?

"You look confused? I guess I didn't make myself clear" Saying so, the mysterious voice who had been speaking to them from an unknown place showed themself.

It was a woman of unordinary beauty. She had long black hair that was neatly tied into a bun, a graceful and curvaceous body that contained incredible allure and a face that made her seem almost otherworldly.

Her beautiful black eyes that was highlighted by her spectacles gave her a sophisticated look.

For people like them, who weren't used to seeing a woman of such extraordinary beauty, they were instantly enamoured. All they could see in their eyes was the woman and the thoughts of lust overwhelmed their mind.

The only people who were able to resist her beauty were Lucas and Benny. Although they weren't entranced, one could still see the look of shock hidden in their eyes.

"I guess it's our first time meeting; however, I know you two very well. Anyway, it's nice to meet you. I am Annette, the loyal maid of Lord Simon. Currently, I am working under Her Highness Cynthia on orders of my master" Annette introduced herself.

"Did you say, Cynthia?" Lucas repeated.

"That's right. Perhaps did I not make myself clear?"...

"Wait, are you saying that you work under Cynthia? Does that mean that she is here?"

Annette did not answer, from Cynthia she became aware of how infatuated Lucas was towards her.

"Perhaps, perhaps not. In any case, the matter about Her Highness won't matter to you from today onwards"...

"What's that supposed to mean?"...

"Exactly what I said"

Saying so, Annette clapped her hands. At that very instant growling noises started coming off from all around the forest around them. Lucas, Benny and the others sensed multiple presences surrounding them.

"This is bad" Benny spoke narrowing his eyes. Not only were they unable to sense this woman named Annette coming, they were distracted enough by her that they did not even realise the other presences approaching them.
