Lord of the Truth

Chapter 247 Unexpected Question

”Haa... Haa... Haa...” Robin quickly caught his breath as he kneeled with both knees and hands on the ground.

He hadnʼt eaten anything good in days and not a single drop of natural energy remained in his body, the fact that he was still awake in itself is telling about his sharp mental strength

With whatever strength left in his tired body, he left his head and looked with half-open eyes at the demon and sent out using the Thought Conveying Technique, ”You... what are you doing here? Didnʼt I tell you to go home?!”

In fact, this wasnʼt the first time he had come into contact with the demon since the escape that day, but what just happened was definitely not planned.

Robin gave him orders that day to leave and go wherever he wanted, but he still followed him for a whole day after that, Robin spotted him twice and shouted at him to leave and return to his family... and indeed the demon disappeared after the second encounter

But thinking about it.. the first time he spotted him, he was 70 meters away from him, and the next time there were 180 meters between them...

It is now clear that he kept retreating until he moved away from Robinʼs soul sense range and kept this distance between them until today!

ʼHow is this a stupid race? that dedication and excellent implementation are fascinating...ʼ Robin thought to himself

...The demon tilted his head down when Robinʼs message reached him, then turned around and walked back towards Robin.

On the way, he stepped on the head of the low-level saint, leveling it with the ground, and then continued until he reached Robin and stood beside him in a ready-to-fight position.

”Haa... Haa... Hooo.” Robin finally managed to calm his heartbeat and rapid breathing, and then with great difficulty he managed to get back on his feet… looking at the top-leveled saint

Robinʼs attention didnʼt leave that person from start to finish...

He didnʼt move a single step, and he didnʼt seem to be preparing for any surprise attack like the mid-level saint did, nor did he appear to be standing there to defend himself either.

His mates were killed in front of him in the ugliest of ways, but he didnʼt seem to care, he just watched every move, big or small, silently as if he was thinking of something...

Robin didnʼt know what that person was thinking, but he is an enemy and someone must die now...

Or at least he has to kill that insect with him, otherwise, he will be a dead man himself even if he managed to escape now somehow

” Sigh~” He only remained in this strange world for less than a month, but he had already put one leg on the threshold of death several times, and this might be the end of the journey before it even began!

Robin finally reached into his pocket and took out a level 25 fireball talisman, then desperately shouted, ”There is nothing else to watch, no one else to die for your amusement, there is only the two of us... COME ON!!”

The Giant lifted his war hammer off the ground and placed it on his shoulder, then spoke in a calm tone, ”You are too quick to fight... How many blows of this hammer can you handle before I turn you and that red doll of yours into mashed potatoes? Are you in a hurry to try it? well, Iʼm in no hurry myself... What do you think of a quick little chat? Do have something You want to ask me about?”

”...Huh?!” Robin was extremely surprised by the Giantʼs words and calmness, but he did not want to miss that opportunity, so he activated The Absolute Stone Energy Cultivation Technique, and as the energy began to flow to his feet profusely, he looked at the giant and asked, ”Who are you exactly...?”

The Giant smiled as he sensed the energy flowing from the ground to Robinʼs feet, but he ignored the matter and replied, ”We are the internal peacekeepersʼ force of the Lightning Tribe, you could say we are special forces whose mission is to search for and eliminate the major dangers to our way of life inside our borders.”

”Special forces..? What did I do for you to chase after me?!” Robin asked in astonishment, if these forces are of the same stature as the Fire legion back home, they are certainly not free to the point of taking the case of the murder of members of a circus!!

​ ”Unfortunately for you, one of those whom you killed was a former member of the internal peacekeeping force, he resigned due to several internal injuries and freed himself to move around in that little circus of his. Naturally, we have to avenge the death of our colleague, and the task became more important after you killed four more of our men.” The giant replied softly

His answer made Robin furrow his eyebrows, ”Why are you so sure it was me? ..and how did that insect catch my scent..?”

”Oh, you saw the beetle too? for how long have you been around us? but That would make it easier to explain... These bugs can pick up a single scent and trace its source as long as the source is less than a hundred miles away...

Several bugs were released where you killed our four peacekeepers and the three circus workers, and we tracked down the owners of every scent that was there that day and fled, later on, we found out that they belong  to the prisoners of the circus

But there was something strange... Whenever we caught one of the fleeing prisoners, he would kill himself when we started interrogating him and asking him who the attacker was.

It seemed like they were terrified of something and that suicide was better for them than talking... This continued until we caught one of them and he muttered these words in a trembling voice * Fishbones.. that damn peculiar human.. he is.. terrifying..* Then he acted like the rest of his mates and committed suicide.

And here we are... I have been asked to join the team searching for you and make sure to take your head Mr. peculiar human Fishbones, you have been placed at the top of the wanted list, and the peacekeepersʼ targets always die without exception.”

”I donʼt like... that term...” The expression of anger appeared on Robin when he heard the term Fishbones again, and he inserted the energy that he managed to draw during these minutes into the talisman in his hand, and it became ready to launch at any second, the demon next to him also opened his mouth and began to growl, ready to rush forward as well

”Hold on, hold on!!” The Giant raised his left hand and beckoned to Robin to calm down, ”This isnʼt fair, You asked me and I answered honestly, should I not have a few questions too?”

Robin was surprised by his words, but replied, ”Ask..”

Every second increase in this conversation gives him more opportunity to regain his strength and think of strategies.

”...You are not from this world, who are you?” asked the giant directly
