Chapter 156 The Demon, Temer!

?Nathan's eyes narrowed after seeing Lorenzo's severed head on the ground talk to him.

Coldly, he said, "Who are you?"

He already had a guess at who or what this is that's talking to him.

And his guess was immediately confirmed after the 'head' introduced himself.

"Oh, I apologize for the late introduction. I am Temer of the Demon Race, the Master of the slave you have just killed and someone your puny human race can't measure up to." He said with an arrogant smirk on 'his' face.

Nathan ignored its provocation and used appraisal on it.

But to his surprise, all he saw was question marks in the appraisal result.

He did not have to think much to come to realize the problem.

'The gap in power between us is probably too big that's why I can't peek into his details.'

Knowing that, Nathan stopped trying since it's just a futile effort.

However, using appraisal on Temer was not entirely useless as he was able to conclude something that he was curious about in the past.

'From his reaction, it did not seem like he felt anything when I used appraisal on him, unlike those from novels that I have read before, the target of the appraisal won't know that I used appraisal on them no matter how strong they are, huh.'

Just as he was looking at Temer in wonderment, Temer suddenly said, "Oh, it looks like it's about time for me to go."

Turning his gaze at Nathan, a mischievous smile formed on 'his' lips and he said, "I wanted to talk to you more but sadly I have limited time here because of how weak this body is. Next time, I will make sure that we will get the time to talk seriously~."

After saying that, a dark light flickered and the next moment, the body and severed head of Lorenzo vanished, along with Temer.

Nathan remained standing in place for a few seconds before breathing a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ It's finally gone." He said whole patting his chest.

All this time, although Nathan was acting tough and indifferent, he was actually under the pressure that was brought by Temer.

If Temer remained here for a few more minutes, he would not have been able to keep act up at that point.

After calming himself down for a minute, Nathan went back to himself and started inspecting the place.

Staring at the place where Lorenzo's body was before, Nathan frowned.

"...There was not even a trace of Lorenzo's body anywhere now…"

Concluding that he won't get anything out from further investigating, he stopped and turned his attention to the two unconscious people nearby.

Manong Cardo and the little girl.

Earlier, when Temer descended onto Lorenzo's body, the pressure was too much for the little kid to handle, causing her to fall unconscious.

Nathan was worried about her condition earlier but he can do nothing about it as he was directly under Temer's pressure before.

Now that he had the time, Nathan did not delay and approached the kid.

He gently grabbed her wrist and started feeling for her pulse.

Nathan heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the kid is just unconscious.

Next, he went towards Manong Cardo and did the same.

Although Manong Cardo was stabbed by Lorenzo earlier, he was in a good condition since Nathan fed him with Healing Balls just seconds after he was stabbed.

Confirming that the two were safe, Nathan carried them both to the nearest bench that he could find.

Maybe it's because this is in the outskirts, there's almost no people around.

Even if there was, they did not pay attention to Nathan and the two unconscious people on the bench.

After laying those two down on a bench, Nathan also sat down on a separate bench and called the system.

"System!"

The blue translucent screen appeared in Nathan's sight.

Without hesitation, he went to the mission tab.

At this time, the mission about the murderer or Lorenzo, was finally showed as completed.

With a thought, Nathan claimed the reward.

[Congratulations, you have completed the mission, [Capture the Murderer!]

You received Awakener x1, Blade of Prisoned Souls, 100 Gold Points.]

…

Looking at the rewards, Nathan's heart moved.

He immediately wanted to take a look at the Blade of Prisoned Souls but he resisted as he was still outside.

With nothing to do, Nathan can only sit there and wait for Manong Cardo to wake up.

Sitting there lazily, Nathan stared at the sky above with a listless look on his face.

Finally, after about half an hour, Manong Cardo started gaining consciousness.

"Kukh, ugh…"

Opening his eyes, he groaned and said, "What the hell happened…?"

Nathan, who noticed Manong Cardo's movements, walked towards him and answered.

"Well, you encountered a murderer and almost died." He nonchalantly said,

Hearing that, an image of what was happening before he fell unconscious flashed before his eyes.

He especially remembered the scene of him getting stabbed by the killer and a cold feeling covered him.

Hurriedly sitting up, he touched his abdomen and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no wound on his stomach.

But Manong Cardo knows that him being stabbed was not just his imagination.

'From the hole in the stomach part of my clothes, I can confirm that I was indeed stabbed… As for how it is that I'm not wounded, I do not know.' he thought.

Without finding an answer, he shook and stopped pondering over it for now.

Next, he turned his gaze to the owner of the voice that just spoke to him.

"It's you!"

When Manong Cardo saw Nathan's face, his eyes widened as he remembered him.

Seeing that Manong Cardo still remembered him, Nathan showed a slight smile and sat beside him.

Handing him a bottle of water, Nathan said, "Here, drink first before we talk."

Manong Cardo stared at him without moving for a few seconds before accepting the water and drinking it as if he hadn't drank anything for weeks.

"Puah!"

After he finished drinking, some colors came back to his face and he seems to have recovered a little now.

Seeing that, Nathan leaned his back on the bench and said, "So, can you tell me how you ended up in your situation earlier?"
