The Devil’s Cage

The soft but clear mutter entered Kieran’s ears.

He curled up his lips and revealed a smile

Despite him spending quite a lot of effort, he was satisfied with his rewards last night.

Even though he didn’t get the name of the sculptor who sculpted Sister Reid’s statue from all the books, he had gotten a good amount of information regarding Marulyn’s legacy and inheritance.

Other than the [Detect Toxin] he displayed earlier, he also swiftly mastered the remaining three basic spells, [Repel Toxin], [Heal] and [Brilliance].

When Kieran used [Detect Toxin], [Repel Toxin], [Heal] and [Brilliance], Dawn Force was exceptionally lively and the energy that operated rapidly in his body almost reached the level where it sucked it all the radiating spots back in the secret room.

Undoubtedly, the reason why he could swiftly master and utilize all the secret inheritance spells from Marulyn in such a special way was that the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] had absorbed all the radiating spots.

It wasn’t just a blind guess, he had proof to back him up.

…

The system’s remark and notes allowed Kieran to understand everything.

Though the combination like this had its pros and cons as well.

From the original records, the advanced skills of Marulyn’s inheritance skills, [Repel Plague] and [Holy Light] would only require all four of the basic skills to hit Master level but now it was increased to Transcendence altogether.

It was what the system notified him when Kieran tried [Repel Plague] and [Holy Light], as for a higher level of [Brilliance], it was even further ahead without end.

However, it was enough for Kieran at the moment.

He needed others to acknowledge his identity as a church’s knight in order to avoid the pursuit of the executioners. He has no intention to really become a knight of some church.

Still, Kieran wouldn’t give up the increment of his overall strength, just like the removal of the restrictions on [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]!

The moment “Special Activation” and “Unable to limit break special activation” appeared on his vision, he had been guessing.

What if he limit broke the restrictions and limits inside the dungeon?

The answer was a direct one: [Dawn Sword]!

A brand new, powerful special effect under the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art].

Although it still required a lot of hard work from him, it was enough to insert new thoughts into his mind.

Now, his plans had changed from purely evading the executioner’s pursuit to while evading the pursuit, he would try his best to limit break all of his skills.

Still, the priority was to evade the pursuers, the limit break came after that.

Kieran has already set the next skill that he wanted to limit break, [Undercover].

While being different from other skills which required more time to figure out their direction, Kieran already has the general direction of [Undercover] since he had experienced [Undercover] above Transcendence.

All he needed was some time to complete his goal, but not all matters would go according to expectations.

Right after Kieran had his short break and was prepared to fully devote himself into limit break [Undercover]’s restriction, Teresa the police captain paid a visit.

Inside the reception study room, Teresa and Anne Aldrich Augen were staring at each other.

Both ladies would not budge or give in their stand. As their eyes exchanged gaze, it felt like sparks were ignited in the middle.

Suddenly, Anne Aldrich Augen spoke casually, “It’s best for one to be grateful for where they are now. The fact that you still ARE the police captain and not behind bars, you have me to thank!”

Right after that, Teresa’s imposing manner faced a pause. Her character had destined her to not argue with real facts but it didn’t mean she would surrender.

“You better keep your ass tucked up somewhere safe, or else I’ll be the first one to arrest you if I find any evidence against you!” Teresa said heavily with clenched teeth.

Anne Aldrich Augen laughed. She felt like she was confronting a young sheep bleating, she looked at Teresa with a pitiful and regretful gaze.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Anne Aldrich Augen said arrogantly.

She then turned her eyes to Kieran who walked in and right after Kieran’s entrance, her eyes had switched into a charming glare.

“Accompany me for dinner tonight, will you?”

Her voice sounded soft and tender with a very slight sense of begging.

Teresa, however, had an unknown rage rise up to her brain instantly.

Before Kieran could reply, Teresa quickly moved in between the two of them and blocked Anne Aldrich Augen behind her, she said to Kieran, “Something happened to Hoskin!”
