Realm of Myths and Legends

Chapter 1069: Dark Squall Pursuit Squad

Izroth activated his Energy Vision Sense in intervals to conserve his essence; however, his timing was precise and left virtually no gap in his detection grid. This, paired with his natural sense of perception and the fact that he was wearing the Moonlit Concealing Mantle, meant that few individuals in the Mortal Realm could get this close to him undetected.

Izroth glanced over at the silver object that had penetrated into the ground where he once stood.

It was a cylinder-shaped metallic rod approximately one meter in length. It had a smooth surface and released a wave of cold energy that could be felt from several meters away. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after the first metallic rod pierced the earth, three more quickly followed from different directions. But this time, none of them was remotely close to hitting Izroth and simply drilled into the ground.

ʼOh? This is...ʼ

Izroth narrowed his eyes as he swept his gaze throughout his surroundings.

The metallic rods were spaced perfectly apart at an exact distance of twenty meters and formed an invisible square. Each rod released the same cold energy as the first.

Rmmmmble!

The next moment, the four metallic rods drilled into the ground. Immediately after doing so, a large cube-shaped barrier materialized around Izroth with him at its center.

”Brat, thereʼs nowhere to run!” A thunderous roar erupted, seemingly coming from all directions.

Zeeeut!

In the blink of an eye, a figure rapidly descended from above and crashed into the ground before standing upright.

The man who appeared before Izroth in such a domineering manner was a middle-aged man with long yellow hair, a full beard, and striking violet eyes that contained an aura of fierceness. He wore a set of extravagant, loosely fitting robes that gave away his identity as someone of high status.

”This aura feels familiar.ʼ

Izroth used his Energy Vision Sense to observe the man who emerged before him and felt that he had come across them before. However, Izroth was not the forgetful type, especially when it came to those he once crossed paths with.

ʼI see. This aura-itʼs similar to that guy.ʼ

When Izroth infiltrated the kingdom of Tempest with the 9th Division and was escorting its sixth princess, Ranazera, out of its borders, he encountered a small hindrance in the form of a young man named Aurelius Windstorm.

While his strength was not that impressive in Izrothʼs eyes, Aurelius belonged to one of the most influential families of Tempest, the Windstorm family.

The Windstorm family prided themselves on their Windstorm Sword Styles being ranked within the top 25 sword techniques in the world. But, in front of Izroth, such sword techniques were no different than childʼs play.

At the moment, the man just a few meters away from Izroth was giving off an aura similar to the one he felt when he encountered Aurelius.

In truth, Izroth may have overwhelmed Aurelius, but the Windstorm young masterʼs defeat was by his own hands. After losing control of his own power, he basically defeated himself.

That being said, an influential family like the Windstorms was not the type to sit back and suffer a loss and humiliation. This was even more so when the person affected was the current headʼs grandson.

”So, youʼre the stinking brat that dared to lay a hand on a member of the Windstorm family!” The man said as he unhurriedly walked toward Izroth.

After taking a few steps, Izroth was finally able to see the manʼs system information.

NPC Name: Dark Squall Leader, Azio Windstorm(???)

NPC Level: ???

”Theyʼre related after all. But, how were they able to track me so precisely?ʼ

Izroth had just returned from The Void not that long ago. Furthermore, he hid his presence extraordinarily well and carefully covered his tracks. To pinpoint his exact location and even ambush him-was it the work of a skill or magic item?

ʼI would rather not waste time here, but there is no point in running away. As long as I canʼt uncover how they tracked me, they will probably follow me into the depths of Amaharpe if necessary.ʼ [System Alert: Warning! The surrounding space has been sealed off by a mysterious force!
