Chapter 254: Stepping Stone

To get an entry into the City, a person needed to show their hands so the guards could check that they didn't have the Mark is Darkness.

Unfortunately, Gabriel's left hand actually had a mark of Darkness which was right next to the Mark of Light. He knew that if he showed his hands, it was only going to create trouble for him.

"I can't enter through the main entrance..."

He turned around after making sure that there was no way to get an entry through the main entrance without being checked. One thing was for good though. The City didn't have any Barrier like the Lumen City which marked the souls of the Dark Mages once they entered.

Now that he also had the Element of Darkness, that thing could've immediately disclosed his identity.

"Hah, little girl, there's no benefit in screaming. No one is going to save you. In these parts of the City, even the Knights don't enter!"

The laughter of a man echoed, mixed with the calls for help that seemed to be coming from a woman.

"Hmm? A part of City where even the Knights don't come?" On the other side of the wall, Gabriel was standing. He was still trying to find the best place to enter from since he didn't want to create a mess right at the start by accidentally appearing before a Royal Knight.

However, hearing the voices coming from the other side, all his doubts were clear. If there was no Royal Knight here, then this place was perfect. Moreover, he also believed that if he helped the girl, he could get some answers about the Arecia Clan and what happened to them.

On the inner side of the wall, the middle aged man licked his lips as he held the wrist of the woman who struggled to free herself. Unfortunately, her strength was nothing before the man.

"Scream! Scream more! Do you really expect the gods to send a saviour from the sky for you? Let me tell you, little girl! Tonight, even gods can't save you from me!"

There man raised his head toward the sky as he laughed out loud.

However, his laughed stopped abruptly as he actually saw something in the sky! It looked like a person who was coming down! The man's laughter stopped completely and his face was filled with shock. Did the gods really send saviour? No, how could that be!

Gabriel landed on the ground, not too far from the middle aged man.

He could finally see the man who had a scar on his face. As for the woman before him, the woman didn't seem to be from a poor family. From her clothes, she looked like she was fairly rich. Unfortunately, her clothes were torn at places.

"You! Who are you?!" The middle aged man asked.

"Please save me!" The girl also pleaded for Gabriel's help.

Gabriel didn't pay attention to what the girl was saying. His focus was mainly on the man.

"You said gods won't save people to save anyone? You're right. Gods have stopped sending people a long time ago. Nowadays, no one will come to save anyone," Gabriel stated.

Hearing the response, the middle aged man signed in relied. So this man wasn't here to stop him. It was just a coincidence that the man was here. Moreover, from his tone and his body, he looked like a weak cowardly man.

The woman's face also turned pale. Was this man really a coward? He wasn't here to help? Did she really have no hope in this world?

"Good! Now that you understand, then scram! Don't disturb my long night!" The man scoffed. Now that he knew that Gabriel was a coward, he didn't worry one bit.

Gabriel didn't leave. Instead, he appeared next to the middle aged man, grabbing the throat of the man.

The man's face turned pale. He used both his hands to get Gabriel to loosen his grip but nothing worked. The young man's strength was just too much.

Since the middle aged man was busy trying to save himself, the woman was freed. She hastily stepped back, shocked. This man was really helping her? Was he really not a coward? Did she misunderstand his words?

Gabriel brought his lips close to the man's ears and whispered, "Although the gods stopped sending people to save people, the Devil hasn't stopped sending people to kill. You're quite lucky today. Become a stepping stone for me..."

The middle aged man felt a chill run down his spine as he heard the words. He had never felt this kind of fear before. And this was all when Gabriel hadn't even released his Aura.

Crack~

The middle aged man tried speaking but he was so scared that no words came out of his mouth. Only a cracking sound came after a few seconds as the man's throat was crushed.

His eyes widened as the man took his last breath. Gabriel tossed the man's lifeless body aside. This kind of a man wasn't even worse his attention. The only reason he even killed the man was so he could approach the woman later.

He wanted to get some answers about the Arecia Clan from her and if possible, he wanted to do that without revealing his true identity.

It was the first time the woman saw someone die. She dropped to her knees, scared out of her wits. Just who was this person? Was he going to kill her as well? There were so many questions in her head.

Watching Gabriel step closer to her, her heart started beating faster. She was grateful to Gabriel for saving her. At the same time, she was scared of him.

"Are you alright?" Gabriel stopped before the lady. He could understand why she was scared so he didn't take it to heart. If it was him before his awakening, he would've been scared as well. Seeing someone die, of killing someone for the first time... Both were quite scary for an ordinary person.

He reached out his hand to help the woman.

"I-i am alright," the woman replied. Even though she was also scared, she couldn't offend Gabriel. She reached out her hand as well. If he really wanted to kill her, he could only help her.

"Ouch!" As soon as the woman stood up, she dropped to the ground again as her ankles twisted.

The young lady cried in pain. She was so scared of Gabriel that she didn't even pay any attention to her surroundings.

Gabriel sat before the young woman. "You are fairly weak. Someone like you shouldn't be in these parts of the City at a time like this."

Even as Gabriel talked, he placed his finger on the ankles of the young lady.
