Chapter 185: Hunter's Month
"Let's go." Lucius put his hand on Celestina's shoulder. "You're bothering him."
"Hands off me, doofus." Celestina slapped his hand away and lunged at Adam, her fingers jabbing forth.
"Vampire Slaying Art, The Killing Body Jab!"
She was aiming her finger jabs at the pressure points around Adam's body, and some of those pressure points, if hit correctly, could stop his heart.
With quick movements, Adam snatched her hands away before she could touch him.
He was grabbing her by her wrists, and she was trying to kick him in the shins to get him to let go.
However, those kicks felt like pillows when landed on him.
"Put your hands off me, you creep!" She shouted in desperation, but she felt like it was useless to fight back against his strength and started to feel despair.
A few tears escaped her round, cute eyes.
"Do you forfeit?" Adam asked.
"Never!" Celestina said and bit her lip strongly.
"Hey, let her go!"
Suddenly, one of the members of their team-a brown-haired woman-rushed at him after seeing what he was doing to Celestina, whom she was considering a little sister.
"Don't, Wynne!" Lucius shouted with an annoyed look.
He felt like he was about to have a massive headache as he couldn't handle his impulsive team members.
"Strong Fist!" Wynne jumped at Adam and threw a powerful straight punch.
Adam removed his hand from Celestina's right wrist, then formed a powerful fist with it and punched Wynne in the face with such impressive force that a shockwave sent her flying back.
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK!
She crashed through the trees and finally crashed into one of the teams that had been looking for herbs nearby. A few of them got severely injured, but all of them survived.
"Wha-" Celestina was shocked by the sheer force of the punch.
It was impossible for ordinary humans, meaning that Adam's strength was already on the superhuman territory.
"You're too young to think about being S-ranker." Adam said with a grin. "Do you still want to try?"
"Yes!" Celestina shouted and then bit down on his shoulder, but his muscles were too strong for her teeth to break through.
She was trying everything, but it was all for naught.
"Very well then." Adam chuckled, and then the back of his shirt ripped open.
The flesh on his back started swelling and pulsating, revealing beautiful blooming eight- petaled flower wings that extended outwards like the beautiful wings of a deity.
As those wings revealed themselves, the students nearby exclaimed and looked fascinated. It was one of the most beautiful sights any of them had seen.
"What the hell are those..." Ryan whispered with wide eyes, and then it looked like his face turned serious, and he started muttering something to himself.
Terry had seen those wings already, but they still amazed him every time he saw them.
"I interrogated some of the students there and checked the crime scene. It feels strangely similar to the murders that happened five months ago."
"And?" Renard looked at him.
"There's a possibility that it was done by the same killer." Mr. Caretaker said.
"It's impossible. I caught the killer and expelled him." Renard said. "It's the works of some
copycat killer."
"After you expelled him, we got an angry letter from his guild master. Apparently he was
killed."
"I got the angry letter, not you." Renard said with a sharp tone. "Know your place."
"Of course..." Mr. Caretaker lowered his head.
"Some student could've taken revenge for their friends, or he died in the forest when
leaving."
"He didn't remember anything." Mr. Caretaker said. "It could've been the works of the Forgot
Powder."
"He is most likely lying so that his guild master takes pity on him and doesn't expel him from the guild." Renard said with a scoff. "Also, bandits like to use Forgot Powder when they're
robbing mercenaries."
"What if there is a possibility that the killer is still in here?" Mr. Caretaker asked. "It doesn't look good for you if you cannot catch the killer."
Renard, angered by his words, grabbed him by the throat and slammed him down to the
ground.
The impact caused all the air to leave Mr. Caretaker's lungs. He was breathing roughly and
struggled to speak.
"I caught the killer!" Renard screamed.
"Y-you're right..." Mr. Caretaker stood up with the help of his cane and bowed painfully. "My
apologies..."
"You go and find this copycat killer. If you can't find him, you're fired!"
"Yes..." Mr. Caretaker used his cane and walked away slowly, frustrated.
He didn't dare to reveal the final pieces of his investigation to Renard.
After asking some of the teachers, it seemed like Dylan had a strong alibi when some of the murders happened. He was with some of the teachers.
Thus, it was very unlikely that he could've killed someone unless he had the ability to be in
two places at the same time.
'The real killer is still here, but why has he been waiting for these five months before striking
again?'
