Chapter 156:127 Bloody Saint Child
Dean McKenzie and the mystery man watched in shock as Bruce Hodge turned his back and walked away.
They never saw this coming.
In just the duration of a phone call, Bruce Hodge, who had been relentlessly pursuing them, suddenly lost his momentum and left.
He left so decisively, he didn’t utter one threatening word, which left Dean McKenzie and the mystery man stunned for a moment.
Dean McKenzie asked bewilderedly, “Who was that phone call from?”
Rolling his eyes, the mystery man retorted, “Who knows, maybe some old man. Now is not the time to decipher that. Don’t you think we still have more crucial matters at hand?”
Don t tell me you believe that we’re safe just because Bruce Hodge has left? He merely left, he didn’t die, so he can change his mind at any moment. Furthermore, even if Bruce Hodge doesn’t change his mind, the bounty on you hasn’t been retracted. Now, I’ve been severely injured by him and lost 99 percent of my combat power. If a fourth-turn player or a top third-turn team comes now, we’re both done for!”
“Oh!”
Only then did Dean McKenzie recover from his shock, “So what should we do now?”
Frustrated, the mystery man yelled, “What do you think we should do? We need to run! We should head towards the sea following the route you gave earlier. Once we reach the coast, I can guarantee our safety!”
“Alright!”
At that time, Dean McKenzie was willing to heed the advice. He immediately picked up the mystery man and slung him over his shoulder.
As he did so, Dean McKenzie sensed something wasn’t right.
“Dude, your pecs are a bit exaggerated!”
“Quit prattling, let’s move!”
The mystery man urged him on while pulling out a black crystal ball.
With a light squeeze, a battery of system alerts flooded into Dean McKenzie’s vision.
[A professional used the Fate Concealment skill. For the next three hours, Divination and Tracking skills below level 5 will be ineffective!] Dean McKenzie’s eyes lit up when he saw the system notification.
“Dude, that was a great move! Someone had been divining me since the beginning. If you had done this earlier…”
Upon speaking his thoughts, Dean McKenzie paused, then turned and asked suspiciously, “Dude, you weren’t the one divining me since the beginning, were you?”
Feeling a chill from Dean McKenzie’s hostile words, the severely injured mystery man shivered and quickly reassured him, “No, it wasn’t me. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Good. Hang tight!”
With a sniff, Dean McKenzie, with the mystery man on his back, started sprinting.
At level 52, Dean McKenzie’s Agility attribute had increased to 24, with the addition of 30 Agility attribute points at level 51, his Agility has reached 693.8. This level of agility was horrifying compared to warriors or assassins of the same level.
In the face of life and death, Dean McKenzie discarded all fear and raced off with the mystery man on his back.
The speed surprised the mystery man.
Although he had been tracking Dean McKenzie throughout their chase, he couldn’t fully grasp Dean McKenzie’s extraordinary speed due to the distance and the limitations of the spell. Dean McKenzie was the one doing the running. Now, being carried by Dean McKenzie, he was startled to find that Dean McKenzie, a second-turn Necromancer, had an Agility attribute nearing 700. More preternatural than Dean McKenzie’s Agility was his Stamina. He ran non-stop for over ten minutes without panting.
Keep m mind that Dean McKenzie’s current speed was terrifying; it surpassed a hundred kilometers an hour.
After running two hours straight, plus the duration before, how long could he keep this up?
“What’s the origin of this physical strength?
As a second-turn Necromancer, isn’t this kind of physical strength against the rules?”
“Oh, are you referring to this?
Some medication I took was responsible for that!”
“Medication? What kind of medication?”
“There. This!”
Dean McKenzie took out a bottle of Eternal Potion and dangled it in front of the mystery man’s eyes.
Seeing the Eternal Potion, the mystery man’s eyes widened and he stormed, “No way. Anthony actually got you this? He has never even offered it to me! I’m done. Put me down. I can’t deal with this!”
He spoke so disdainfully that Dean McKenzie felt a chill running up his spine. The mystery man on his back was wriggling like a loach. But before Dean McKenzie knew how to react, the mystery man stopped himself.
“Watch out, someone’s coming from the left!”
The mystery man had barely finished speaking when Dean McKenzie sensed a vague figure approaching them.
Out of instinct, he let out a Bone Resistance attack.
The horrific bone blossomed on the ground, but Dean McKenzie felt a frown creeping onto his face.
It missed!
Dean McKenzie’s senses told him that the stranger skillfully evaded his Bone Resistance’s attack range at the same time it was released.
At the same time, the stranger took a detour and was now behind Dean McKenzie.
Instinctively, Dean McKenzie began to turn around to confront him when the mystery man’s instruction sounded in his ear.
“Twelve o clock, Bone Spear!”
Startled, Dean McKenzie obeyed the instruction and attacked the seemingly empty spot at twelve o’clock.
Right when his Bone Spear was released,
With a “thud”, a slender figure was impaled and pinned to the spot. Taking advantage of this, Dean McKenzie sent out a Bone Fang, sweeping the figure away.
[You have successfully killed the Ninja Master (Rare) (level 80), your level has increased to 53!]
[You used Extraction successfully, received 50 attribute points, and obtained a
Rare Fragment.]
Another Rare Fragment in hand.
He just needed one more to complete another Rare Template.
Before Dean McKenzie could express his excitement, the mystery man on his back urged, “We need to move. Stop dawdling!”
You’re the one dragging us down.
That’s what Dean McKenzie was grumbling in his heart, but wisely he didn’t voice it out.
Even though he didn’t have a girlfriend, by this time, he had already learned how to deal with women.
Yes, women.
From the sensation of carrying her on his back and her jealous demeanor, Dean was certain that this mysterious person was a woman and closely related to Anthony.
She might even be his sister-in-law.
Having speculated her identity, Dean naturally wouldn’t argue with her.
Carrying his sister-in-law, oh no, the mysterious person, he moved southwards.
Thanks to a buff from the mysterious person, there were fewer followers during their journey.
But not none.
After all, the mysterious person’s buff could only shield them from divination and tracking skills, but it couldn’t stop someone from guessing Dean’s intent and setting up an ambush on the road.
Along the way, Dean fell into five ambushes.
Each one more dangerous than the last.
Out of the five ambushes, Dean only managed to fight back successfully once. The rest of the time, he mostly escaped the encirclement in a sorry state under the command of the mysterious person.
And each escape was messier than the last.
Especially the last one, where the attacker was actually a Fourth-turn professional.
That guy was downright dishonourable, with a rare Fourth-turn template and already two turns above Dean, he still set up an ambush and tried to sneak attack.
Isn’t that bullying people?
Not only did it surprise Dean, but the mysterious person also almost let her guard down.
It was only after paying a huge price that they managed to escape from the Fourth-turn powerhouse.
More accurately, it was the mysterious person who paid the huge price.
During the confrontation with the Fourth-turn professional, Dean couldn’t even get a chance to assist.
It was only after that skirmish that Dean realized how terrifying a Fourth-turn professional could be and came to understand why Anthony previously said that reaching the Fourth-turn was only the threshold of becoming a strong player.
Even though Dean’s combat power was already at the peak of Third-turn, he seemed just as the Third-turn professionals did in front of him when faced with a Fourth-turn professional.
Facing a Fourth-turn level existence, Dean could only rely on the mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman was first severely injured by Bruce Hodge and later sneak-attacked while facing the Fourth-turn professional. Her current state was not completely exhausted, but at least was half-dead.
If another Fourth-turn attacked, she wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Fortunately, after encountering the Fourth-turn professional, they arrived at the seaside.
According to the mysterious person, once they reached the seaside, she could ensure their safety.
As such, seeing the ever-closer coastline, Dean’s mood gradually brightened.
But some people were just annoying.
They always appeared when you were feeling relaxed and your mood was at its best, completely ruining it.
Just as the coastline was almost within reach.
A silhouette appeared in Dean’s vision.
It was an extremely young figure, looking about his twenties, wearing blood-red armor, a blood-red cloak, and holding a blood-red longsword.
What was more exaggerated were his eyes and hair, which held a dense bloody shade.
He was standing in front of the coastline, emanating an undeniable bloody odor.
Upon seeing him, Dean hesitated, instinctively casting an appraisal skill.
As soon as Dean cast the appraisal skill, the other party seemed to be aware immediately.
He even released his defenses and let Dean’s appraisal skill land on him.

“Damn!”
When Dean saw the other’s attributes, he lost his bearing on the spot: “Are these even human attributes?”
The mysterious woman behind Dean seemed quite composed.
“The one standing before you is one of the candidate sons of the Bloody Church. He has a perfect template and a gold suit, plus the unique ‘Blood Sacrifice’ of the Bloody Church. It’s normal for his attributes to be a bit exaggerated.”
“But he’s so exaggerated that he surpassed me!”
At Dean’s words, the mysterious person immediately lost her composure.
She turned her head and gave Dean a glance.
Don’t you think about what you just said?
At this moment, the Bloody Child from the opposite side spoke up.
“Become my follower and you can live!
Otherwise, die!”
