Chapter 315: The person behind the scenes
When he arrived next to her, there was basically nothing he could do but smile at her.
"Looks like your training has paid off well these days, Alice." He said, looking at the numerous spirits she had summoned this time.
The elements they belonged to were varied, but there was none of the fire, which meant she understood very well that she couldn't alarm the entire city.
She smiled at him but looked a little dubious about some things. "Matt, there's something weird," she said, approaching with one of the corpses in her hand.
Matt looked at her suspiciously. "Something weird?" he asked, looking at the corpse.
He had died from a stab wound, so there wasn't too much unusual about him, and the corpse didn't seem to be too surprising.
Still, he frowned when he looked at it for a couple of minutes.
Alice moved it and put it on the floor without affecting the body too much. "This face looks familiar. That's weird. I'm sure I've never seen this guy before, but somehow, I feel like I've seen him," he said softly, and Matt bent down to look at him.
"You're not wrong... This guy we've seen before." He replied.
Alice felt surprised and looked at him. "You too, Matt?" she asked.
He nodded.
"There's no way; what is this guy doing here? I remember him and on my ice is etched this face. That means he had to have been affected at some point by my Icy Power."
He couldn't remember many times when he used his Icy Power. Since he came to this empire, he basically used it in coordination with his ability 'The Vampire'.
'The Vampire' served to hide his vampire aura very well, while his Icy Curse served to make himself look like he was an ice mage. But, that way of using the Icy Curse would not record the faces of the people who are affected by it, so Matt totally ruled out the possibility that it was someone from this empire.
Matt searched this man's body, trying to find a clue. At the same time, he was thinking.
'The abilities I have used that can etch the faces of those affected in the Icy Curse... Could it be when I froze time?' Matt thought.
Then he touched something a bit hard on this guy's body, like a token. He grabbed it and pulled it out.
"It's Low Deal..." He spoke.
Then he remembered that he once froze time on this vampire. It was precisely when he was attacked from behind by those powerful people when he was eliminating Low Deal's branch.
He thought that might be the case but quickly shook his head.
'Alice saw him, too. It couldn't be those people and everyone who was in the base; we killed them. So it was someone who was in the Dark Kingdom? A human?' He was confused about this.
'I can't look at the Icy Curse right now, so I can't tell what time and place it was that this face was engraved.' In the end, he sighed and decided to ignore this for now.
"Alice, there's something weird too. But this person might have been in the Dark Kingdom. So don't worry too much about this. But this guy was from Low Deal, look."
Alice nodded after seeing the token. "So your suspicions were right, Matt. These guys are also working with Low Deal. Are we going to keep testing that ability you discovered? Or are we going to go straight for these bastards?" she asked.
"Naturally, we're going to test the ability. Someone is already in the process of getting me information regarding Low Deal, so before long, we could attack them to exterminate them at once if we find out they're not that powerful." He replied.
"Is someone looking for information? Who?"
"Janna Patel."
Alice frowned slightly. "She? Does she do that sort of thing?" She asked, confused, and Matt nodded.
"She's a real pro at that." After saying this, they both disappeared with all the corpses, leaving the place in deep silence until a small window opened in one of the doors.
Janna looked through there and sighed. "I thought that girl might be in trouble, so I moved over here to help her, but to think I couldn't even see what happened before the fight was over. Sigh, I seem to have underestimated this duo." She said softly and jumped out the window, away from there, leaving the place again in a deep, unperturbed silence.
.
Matt and Alice appeared, once again, in a desolate area.
They were out of the city this time, and it had taken them 1 hour running to get here.
Matt had recently discovered an interesting skill. Or more than an ability, it was a trick and he found it in that huge encyclopedia that the Spirit Essence had bestowed upon him. Explore stories on m,v l'-NovelBin.net
Being the Spirit Essence, a being that bestows 'life', could it be used on dead bodies to give them a glimmer of life once again? That was Matt's question at the time, and he got an answer.
Matt sat down in front of one of the corpses, specifically that of the Night Warlock.
He placed his hand on the chest and gently pushed it, sending a glimmer of Spiritual Essence energy into the body. At the same time, Matt pulled out a hexagonal item and floated it above his head.
Suddenly, the Night Warlock, who had died by stabbing, coughed up a lot of blood forcefully.
Matt smiled.
'It's possible, as long as the brain hasn't been affected and it requires a Magic Artifact that 'sustains' life. Although it's not permanent life and only lasts a few minutes, it's enough.' Matt thought.
Besides, the 'revived' living being will be a slave to the Magic Artifact for the duration.
When he coughed, his eyes opened as well. His vision was blurred, but his mind, enslaved by an item that belonged to Matt, made him recognize his killer as his master.
Fear was unfounded on his face when he saw Matt; maybe he remembered what he had seen a while ago, but no one could know the real reason for his fear.
Matt didn't want to waste time, and he also knew that this guy didn't keep all his memories, so getting information from him was pure luck.
"Night Warlock, have you been following orders from the Founder of the Spirit Academy all the time?" He asked, being direct.
At his question, the lifeless Night Warlock nodded softly.
"He stole a woman's items and gave them to me to threaten her... And he asked me to come back to kill a man." His voice sounded slightly terrifying; it was nothing like the one Matt had heard earlier. It was a voice of death.
"What man? And why did you want to kill him? Besides, what do you and Low Deal have to do with each other? You had subordinates from that organization."
"He wants to kill Zen Varrmar. I don't know why. I belong to Low Deal because it's an Organization Founded by the Founder of the Spiritual Academy in conjunction with the Grand Sorcerers."
'Oh? So, this guy is the Founder of that place. No wonder even Mia Holmer can't get them so easily. But, it's as I suspected. Low Deal was created by the leaders of the human race, it was obvious.' Matt thought and went to ask him yet another question, but the Night Warlock fell forward at that moment.
His body, which was already dead, fell once again without any hint of life, and the Spirit Essence inside him returned to Matt's body.
That made him sigh, but he made sure to kill a few with stabs so he would not give up so easily on getting all the information he wanted. So, he revived one more and made him talk.
