Chapter 59: Death

While others were building their tents, Edith glanced at Emilia from time to time and got puzzled by her action. At first, she thought of staying with Emilia and others at the Castle, but she didn't expect Emilia to say something about another mission and became surprised.

While she was confused, strange words entered into the depths of her mind and startled her greatly.

'If we didn't follow after them, something bad might happen to Riverdale City.'

It was Emilia's voice!

Widening her deep-set jade eyes, Edith glanced at her and then nodded in understanding.

'She must have checked the future using some strange artifact.' She instantly nodded her head in enlightenment and then took out tent fabrics from her space ring to build her tent.

Three crimson moons showed up in the sky one after another and soon painted the night with dark red color.

The next day, the Mystics group packed their things and once again started their journey. It was a tiresome journey for all of them. They would usually meet a few mutated animals from time to time and proceed further cautiously.

It was around noon,

When the group walked past a swamp-like area, their group suddenly encountered five red-skinned humans and entered into a battle mode.

Meanwhile, those red-skinned humans simply stood on the ground like frozen statues and showed different kinds of facial reactions! But what made the Mystics to widened their eyes were the red-skinned humans' facial appearances. All of their eyes looked pure black and they even had horns protruded on their foreheads!

One guy showed a dubious look, another guy showed a happy face, and so on.

If not for their loud beating heart sounds, Edith would have thought of them as dead peoples and killed them on the spot to dispel her uneasiness!

'What happened to these guys?' Edith and a few mystics also circled those five red-skinned humans and checked their body conditions.

Edith noticed a symbol of the crow in their dress as she looked at their outer clothes and soon widened her eyes.

'They are from the Explorer Association! It looks like they came earlier than us but seemed to have encountered terrifying.' She muttered inwardly and was about to cast [Inspect] skill on them, but a sudden alarm echoed inside her head.

It was the [Sixth Sense] skill's warning!

Without even thinking for a moment, she ducked her body and rolled from where she stood before.

A second later, a silver dagger passed through the area where she stood before and swiftly moved towards the frozen humans' neck area like a boomerang!

With a flesh-tearing sound, the dagger neatly cut those five red-skinned humans' heads and soon returned to the Underworld Gang Leader, Night-Eye!

In the meantime, Edith also stood up from the ground, cast her [Crimson Robe] spell on herself, and then unsheathed her dagger while turning around.

She then stared at the silver-haired man with cold eyes and soon turned around while warning in a chilling tone.

"If you attack me on purpose again, it will be your last moment."

The one who attacked now was none other than the underworld evil boss, Night-Eye!

Upon hearing her warning, Night-Eye simply snorted and went near Daniel for further orders.

Under Daniel's order, the group then trekked further into the forest and soon encountered mutated animals like Shadow wolves, Three-horned goats, and Poison tigers. If the group were just normal humans, they would have faced life-threatening problems. But the Mystics faced those mutated animals like skilled hunters and killed them in seconds.

Days passed, and soon it was October 2nd!

On this day, the group finally entered a dense mangrove swamp filled with poisonous snakes and insects and began to move very carefully.

During the past few days, the Mystics encountered different kinds of toxic plants, mutated animals in the dark forest, and even lost seven Mystics!

Although they were just Rank-1 thieves, they were still powerful people in Riverdale City!

Losing one Rank-1 thief was equal to losing one elite guard's protection.

Meanwhile, Edith also used this opportunity and earned a total of 820 Exp points!

Now, she had a total of 1870 Exp points.

'130 Exp points to rank-up my subclass.' She muttered inwardly and then sighed.

'Each mutated creature is only giving 20 to 30 Exp points. If not, I would have already Ranked-Up.'

But before the group could reach 500 meters into the mangrove forest, two thieves suddenly fell on the ground, and their bodies went motionless in an instant!

They were walking on the open wet ground and appeared safer. But the current situation made the mystics think twice.

"What happened?" Asking, Richard tried to get closer towards them but soon stopped as he heard Jimmy's words.

"Their eyes are turning pitch black-" Before Jimmy could finish his sentence, those two Mystics' bodies suddenly began to twitch.

"Decapitate their heads now. They are turning into Chaos Beings!" This time, Emilia said in a hurry, took a few steps backward, and appeared right beside Luke.

In the meantime, Richard and Nicolle unsheathed their swords and slashed at those two Mystics' necks in unison.

Unfortunately, their reaction speed was too slow when comparing it to the transformation of Chaos Beings. In an instant, the corrupted mystics' skin turned red, a red horn began to protrude in front of their foreheads, and they blinked their black eyes rapidly.

Upon noticing the incoming sword attacks, those two former Mystics then rolled to the sides, jumped up nimbly, and then pulled out their weapons from their sheaths.

Watching their extraordinary display, Edith was momentarily stunned for a second and soon blurted out,

"Aren't these guys supposed to be mindless creatures?"

Emilia glanced at Edith for a moment and then responded,

"Unlike Distorted Shadows, the Chaos Beings are completely different. Technically, those two humans are still alive and their souls are also still attached to their bodies. But these thugs' souls and bodies were already corrupted by the foul evilness and became eternal slaves of their own emotions. From now on, they will side with the Chaos faction and would walk on the Path of Destruction. Sir Daniel chose to bring these thugs and thieves to this chaotic place must be because of this reason. He wants to turn all these thugs into corrupted Chaos Beings and seems to achieve something in return."

Her voice was so loud, which caused all the Mystics to stiffen up all of a sudden.

"You knew about our plan?" Daniel wore a surprised expression on his face as he turned around towards Emilia and asked.

"Even a small kid could see through your plan, Sir. Daniel Baker." Emilia curled her lips upward and cast her [Mind Fog] skill on the two Chaos Beings, who were about to jump into the swamp area to escape.

An instant later, their bodies staggered weirdly, and soon they fell on the black soil.

Edith wouldn't miss such an opportunity to gain free Exp points. Curving her lips up, she activated her [Crimson Steps] spell and sprinted towards them at an unimaginable speed, leaving fire sparks behind. In three seconds, Edith appeared beside them and swiftly decapitated their heads using her Ghost Dagger.

[Target Eliminated! 230 Battle Exp Obtained!]

[Target Eliminated! 195 Battle Exp Obtained!]

"Shall we begin our hunt?" Turning around, Edith stared at Daniel with a cold look on her face and asked.

Simultaneously, she opened her game interface and poured 2,000 Exp points into her subclass section.

[Host has chosen the 2nd method for Rank-Up!]

[1,494 Exp points have been deduced for 'Disguiser' class gem!]

[506 Exp has been deduced for Rank-up!]

[Disguiser Class obtained!]

[Host's Body is undergoing a mutation change!]

[…]

[Mutation Completed!]

[Host's Race has been changed from 'Human' to 'Human/???']

[You are now a Level-1 Disguiser!]

[1 Free Attribute point Rewarded!]

[20 Skill points Rewarded!]

…

[Skills Upgraded!]

['Sixth Sense' skill has been upgraded to 'Prevision']

['Clown' skill has been upgraded to 'Disguise']

['Magician's Hand' skill has been upgraded to 'Magician's Hand +1']

…

In a second, Edith sensed countless pieces of information about 'Prevision,' 'Disguise' and 'Magician's Hand' entered her mind and became started deeply.

'Prevision! My [Sixth Sense] skill really has a prediction-like ability. Although I can only see 0.5 seconds into the future with a cooldown of one minute and get some warning signs about the future, it is still a great skill. No, I would say that this [Prevision] skill is a legendary ability.' She curled her lips upward and then added one free attribute point to her 'Strength.'

A change went through her body as she clenched her fist and nodded.

Unlike the last time when she was ranking up the main-class, nobody noticed a change now. So, she silently ranked up her sub-class without alerting the enemy in two seconds and silently watched Daniel's movement.

Meanwhile, Daniel wore a troubled look on his face as he heard Edith's words and took a step back. He then shook his head and said.

"I'm going ahead, Night. Stay here for an hour and then bring all of them to the Ruin."

After that, he turned around and soon started walking into the woods.

Meanwhile, Night-Eye took a step forward and unsheathed two silver daggers from his waist!

'He is an assassin class Mystic, Rank-3 Rogue!' A surprised expression appeared on Edith's face as she gripped her dagger tighter and moved.

If it were before, she wouldn't have dared to face a Rank-3 Mystic, but after she Ranked-Up both classes, Edith felt more confident now.

'Moreover, I'm not facing him anyways.' She smirked inwardly as she suddenly changed her direction and dashed towards Emilia. In the meantime, Emilia placed her hand on Luke's shoulder and cast [Touch of Idiocy] skill on him.

An instant later, Luke revealed a foolish smile on his face and opened his arms wide to accept the opponent's attack.

Simultaneously, a dense ray of crimson fire appeared from Edith's forefinger and flew towards Luke at an unimaginable speed!

Their sudden action caused Daniel Baker to pause his footsteps in surprise!

With a shocked face, he turned around and waved his hand.

As the [Incinerate] spell was about to pierce through Luke's head, an invisible ripple came out from his body and soon formed into a force-field-like structure!

Bang!

A collision sound echoed as [Incinerate] spell landed on the force-field and threw Luke a few meters backward while obliterating the force-field in return!

But Edith had already expected this outcome with the help of her new 'Prevision' skill and pulled out her 'Ember Pistol' from her space ring. She then turned the hammer using [Magician's Hand] skill and squeezed the trigger.

A condensed fire bullet came out from the muzzle, tore through the air, and soon appeared in front of Luke's forehead!

But just as the bullet was about to penetrate his head, Luke suddenly twisted his lips upward and muttered in a cold tone.

"Change."

At that instant, something extraordinary happened.

Luke's body suddenly became transparent and was replaced with another figure!

That figure was none other than Jimmy himself!

The next instant, the fire-bullet tore through Jimmy's forehead and appeared on the other side, leaving a bloody hole at the center.

Jimmy's body danced in the air for a moment and soon fell with a dumbfounded look on his face!
