YM778.TV Chapter 292 - 292 Assassin?
Rather, he curiously looked at the facial features as well as bodily features of that man who was towering over him and then asked in a very calm voice, “You’re not the alpha, are you?”
“I am the one who does the questioning here! Now, answer me, or else, you won’t see the light of the day.” Slayer threatened Herald and let out a low growl in order to intimidate him. As he was angry, his eyes shone brightly, and the color of his eyes was clearly visible in that dark dungeon.
Upon seeing the amber eyes, Herald sighed as if he was greatly disappointed. “Yes, definitely not the alpha. I should go and find him soon before everyone starts to recover,” he mumbled to himself and acted as if Slayer was invisible to him.
When Slayer heard that man mentioning the alpha for the second time, he got enraged because he could tell that the man was there with some bad intentions toward his alpha.
“Why the hell are you after the alpha? What do you want? Are you an assassin?” Slayer suddenly shoved the man he was strangling into the wall with great force.
A deep crack ran along the wall of the dungeon when Herald’s head got banged onto that stone wall. However, he didn’t even flinch.
Slayer had expected the man’s head to crack open when he banged that man’s head against that stone wall using brute force. But when he saw the opposite happening, he was now sure that the man wasn’t someone ordinary.
Also, he had been trying to choke that vampire’s neck for a long while now. But he was breathing perfectly fine. And for that man to easily withstand such great force, Slayer knew that he had to be someone really strong.
.....
Slayer was also sure that the man wasn’t a werewolf because he didn’t smell like one at all. He smelled really awful.
He looked at the dark sunglass that the man was wearing as if he was deliberately hiding his eyes. And suddenly, something struck in his mind.
“Who on Earth are you?” Slayer asked Herald, already guessing the answer.
An evil smirk appeared on Herald’s lips. And he said in the most bone-chilling voice ever, “I am the phantom that your alpha managed to piss off. And I am here to give him a nice warning.”
Herald then dramatically took off his shade to show off his crimson-red eyes.
The moment Slayer saw the red eyes glowing in the dark, he felt goosebumps running down his whole body. Usually, he was not someone who would feel threatened by merely looking into someone’s eyes. But for some reason, he felt the chills down to his bones.
Slayer looked at that man who still didn’t show any sign of fear whatsoever. ‘Why does he show no fear when he is literally surrounded by us? Just who the hell is he? He is not the King of Sorvando, is he? I don’t think he is.’
While Slayer was wondering who he was dealing with right now, Herald got bored with being cornered by that tall man. He grabbed Slayer’s wrist and lifted it away from his throat with great ease.
Slayer got shocked once more when he felt a sudden pain running up his arm to his shoulder blade. He didn’t want to admit it, but deep down, he already knew that this vampire was probably even stronger than him if they were to compare each other strength-wise.
‘This is no ordinary vampire,’ he thought to himself as he felt cold sweats running down his spine. He freed his wrist and pushed himself a little further away from that vampire.
He positioned himself in between that vampire and the staircase and then thought, ‘I shouldn’t let him escape from here. Else, the alpha won’t even last a minute if this vampire is here with some malicious intent…’
Slayer looked at the way the vampire was smiling and screamed internally, ‘He is definitely here with some malicious intent.’
As if to prove him right, Herald warned Slayer, “I don’t have any intention to harm you, Mr. tall man. I am here for your alpha. So, if you value your life, then step aside and I will go and find the person that I am looking for.”
“Ha!” Slayer forced a smile and asked, “Do you think you can find him that easily? You will have to go through m–”
“Then…” Before Slayer could complete his sentence, Herald interjected in the middle, “You can make my task easier by telling me where I can find him. If I know exactly where to find him at the moment then you will probably be saving some innocent lives because if anyone interferes with my search for your alpha then I will have to silence them.”
Slayer was furious to hear all the nonsense that the vampire was spewing out. He instantly protruded his claws and snarled, “Do you think that I will sell my alpha that easily? And do you think that I will let you escape from this dungeon and let you wander around the manor, killing everyone in sight? Never! Not on my watch!”
“I thought you would say that.” Herald smiled. “You have my respect for being this loyal to your alpha. But really, does he deserve this loyalty that you show to him?” He pointed his brows at the woman who was still lying unconscious on the floor and asked, “Even when you know such dirty deeds that your alpha does in this dark dungeon?”
He disgustedly spat on the floor and said in an accusing tone, “But you look like you are his accomplice. Else, why would you willingly bring that woman here when you know what’s going to happen to her? She is going to be locked in here until your so-called alpha feels like hunting, isn’t she?”
Slayer felt a sharp pain in his chest when Herald made a correct guess. He had never liked this dark side of his alpha. But even then, he had been facilitating his alpha’s disgusting flesh fetish like a loyal dog.
“Just shut up!” Slayer shouted at the top of his lungs to shut the sounds that were getting louder and louder in his head. And before that vampire could completely take him down the guilt trip, he leaped in the air to finish off the vampire.
