CHAPTER 33: FATE OF SEER (1)

"DING!"

[Fates Intertwined] - [Detected]

The notification made Theo pause for a moment, he couldn’t think of anything about what the system’s words meant.

However, all Theo felt was his heart beating faster and faster.

"Thump!... Thump!..."

Theo’s heart kept beating fast, as if he felt something.

What about happiness?

Or something that makes Theo look scared?

Then, after a few minutes...

Theo’s heart finally started beating normally again, which made Theo very curious.

However, at that time Theo did not have time to think about that curiosity.

Because currently Theo and the others are still being chased by Moonshade troops and also the mysterious organization, Obscura.

They then returned to look for a safe place in the ancient building.

At that time, the mage Alden felt someone’s presence, he said to Theo,

"Young master, we must move quickly, it seems the enemy is getting closer."

"However, we also have to be careful."

The mage Alden also tried to warn the others to be careful.

Because inside that ancient building, nothing looked so safe. Everything inside seemed dangerous.

Theo and the others began to explore the ancient building deeper.

However, suddenly the atmosphere in the ancient building was so quiet, a shadow could be seen moving quickly.

"Woosh!"

The shadow’s movements were very fast, and it also appeared to have a fairly tall body.

Theo and the others became more alert, they focused on the surrounding area while walking to find another way out of the previous pursuit by Moonshade’s troops.

Then another voice was heard...

"Scrrrch!"

The sound sounded like a sharp object rubbing against the floor until it made a loud ringing sound.

"Everyone! Stay alert, and prepare your weapons!" Said Knight Cedric with his body injured, but still strong enough to move.

Then, from the darkness, someone appeared and moved very quickly towards Theo and the others.

However, at that time the person they were targeting was not Theo, but Aurelia De Valemir.

The creature’s figure quickly tried to attack Aurelia.

"Clang!"

Luckily, Knight Cedric, who was injured at the time, managed to stop the attack from the creature.

"Ugh, are you okay, princess?" Said Knight Cedric to Aurelia who was surprised by the sudden attack.

"Uh, yeah... I’m fine." Aurelia answered with a slightly scared feeling.

At that moment, the mysterious creature finally showed itself.

Knight Cedric was a little surprised, because the creature could be in these ancient ruins.

"Huh, isn’t that... the Skull Reaper? Why is this terrifying creature here?" Said the mage Alden who was watching Knight Cedric fight the Skull Reaper.

Because, that great being should have disappeared around hundreds of years ago, and it was in a country quite far away, a figure known as a legendary assassin who was once ordered to kill the king of Veltrazia.

In fact, the Skull Reaper was able to make the entire Veltrazia kingdom afraid for two days and three nights.

"A great monster figure, and feared by the whole world."

"And nicknamed The Hand of Shadows"

"A killer without a voice, and without a trace."

That was the explanation given by the mage Alden, because Alden used to come from the Veltrazia kingdom.

Therefore, he knew a little about the history of the place where he used to live.

Then, the Skull Reaper attacked Aurelia again with the claws in his left hand and the dagger held in his other hand.

"Clang!"

The clash of swords continued, Knight Cedric who was assisted by Knight Julian, they both worked together to fight the Skull Reaper.

Meanwhile, the mage Alden tries to help from a distance as a mage and has his main goal of protecting Theo.

However, Theo also wanted to help them, he started using Origin Eyes to be able to see the movements of the Skull Reaper.

Theo also quickly helped Knight Cedric and Knight Julian by showing them which direction the Skull Reaper would attack.

"Haha, great young master! With your help, we can see the Skull Reaper’s movements."Said Knight Julian happily and increasingly excited.

Soon after, several monsters that looked like wolves appeared. However, the wolves seemed to be covered in a dark energy.

"Ugh, why are more and more monsters coming!?" Aurelia said with a feeling of fear.

Aurelia at that time saw so many monsters appearing, making her look a little scared.

However, on the other hand, Aurelia also helped as a mage. Although she is currently only a 3-Star, C Rank mage.

Aurelia then helped by taking out a fire magic technique, then forming the magic into a sort of bow.

Then, Aurelia threw the bow and arrow towards the wolf monster,

"Whoosh!"

The bow flew quickly through the air, and hit the wolves.

However, the wolf monsters kept coming, as if they would never end if they didn’t defeat the Skull Reaper.

At that moment, a resounding voice was heard.

"The Seer... must be eliminated...!"

"Future... Past... Can’t...!"

It was like the voice of the Skull Reaper, who said a strange sentence, also making Theo and the others confused, what was the meaning of that sentence.

"Huh, The Fortune Teller? What did the Skull Reaper mean?" Theo said, very curious about it.

Theo felt that what the Skull Reaper said was related to the notification given by the system previously.

He seemed to be connecting the meaning of the fated words and also the Seer.

Not only that, there is one more thing, a word "Future" and "Past", those words make Theo more and more curious.

And what does that have to do with the Fortune Teller?

"Ugh, the more I think about it, the more it makes me dizzy," Theo said, looking dizzy.

Theo was getting more and more dizzy thinking about the strange things that often happened when he entered the ancient ruins.

Not only when entering the ancient ruins, but also when Theo first got the system.

However, Theo tried not to think about it anymore.

because right now he has to focus on being able to escape from the Moonshade troops and also defeat the Skull Reaper who is currently in front of him.

"Young master! Watch out!" Knight Julian shouted, warning Theo of the enemy attack.

Then, Theo quickly took out his sword.

"Clang!"

The clash of swords occurred again, Theo at that time seemed to have a little difficulty holding back the Skull Reaper’s dagger.

The way Skull Reaper uses the dagger is very powerful, he gives his dagger a dark aura, and that makes his dagger very strong against any impact.

Then, the voice echoed again from the Skull Reaper’s words.

"Die!... everyone... must... die!!"

Skull Reaper keeps the pressure on and the fight is pretty fast paced.

However, Theo, who had difficulty fending off the attack, was finally hit by the Skull Reaper’s claws and dagger.

"Slash!"

Theo’s body was also injured on his arms and stomach, due to slashes from the Skull Reaper’s claws and dagger.

"Young master.....!"
