A roar ripped from Willie’s throat. He threw a few brown pearls onto the ground that erupted into clouds of thick smoke. Bracing through the pain, virtual-novel.net tried to flee.
Having long anticipated this, Isaac cast Phantom Steps. In a blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net caught up to Willie and grabbed virtual-novel.net by the throat.
A powerful burst of spiritual energy enveloped Willie.
Right now, virtual-novel.net was unable to cast any ninja arts. All virtual-novel.net could feel was his brain beginning to lose oxygen.
“He said that in order to see the Ninja Lord, I’d have to step over your dead bodies, is that right?” Isaac’s red eyes bore into Willie as virtual-novel.net tightened his grip.
On the right, Augustus’ eyeballs were about to pop out of his head. “Isaac, if you kill them, the Ninja Lord will never forgive you. You need to think this through.”
After Isaac willingly released his daughter, Augustus’s attitude toward Isaac greatly improved. Except virtual-novel.net still detested him!
Just as Willie was about to pass out from lack of air, a misty figure slowly emerged in the space between Isaac and Augustus.
“Isaac, release him. Come to the peak of Mt. Soulin in three days and challenge me to a fight. If you win, I’ll grant any request of yours. If you lose, you are to get out of my country at once, never to return!”
“N-Ninja Lord!”
When the officers in the vicinity saw this blurry humanoid figure, many instantly set down their weapons and got on their knees to worship him.
Upon seeing this, large waves began crashing through Isaac’s heart.
“I must keep one person, but the rest can go. After three days, I will go to the top of Mt. Soulin.” He tossed Willie to one side as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Hahaha!” the figure suddenly burst into maniacal laughter before quickly disappearing.
Augustus stepped forward to help Willie up.
The latter glared at Isaac darkly and roared wickedly, “You dare accept my master’s invitation to a battle! You will die, and you will die painfully. You don’t even know the power of the Ninja Lord!”
With that, virtual-novel.net gave Heartless, who was pinned beneath Lupinus, a meaningful look before turning around to leave. The officers surrounding them also scurried off like water gushing from a dam.
Seeing that everyone had left, Isaac’s tense body suddenly relaxed. He bent at the waist and began coughing violently.
“Drakon, are you alright?” Elliot asked, darting to his side.
He waved his hand and urged, “Quickly, call Apothecary and ask virtual-novel.net to get over here right now.”
Isaac didn’t have a shred of certainty that virtual-novel.net could take on the Ninja Lord. After all, virtual-novel.net almost fell during a battle with two of his students. Now, virtual-novel.net had to prepare himself thoroughly.
Elliot and Lupinus watched over Heartless. He tried to escape twice, but Lupinus used dissiparotoxin to beat virtual-novel.net to the floor before dragging virtual-novel.net back. After that, virtual-novel.net stopped trying to run altogether.
As dawn broke, Harry jogged over, gasping for breath. He was carrying a medical kit on his back.
“Sir, are you alright? Are you hurt? Let me have a look…” When Harry saw Isaac sitting cross-legged on the floor, virtual-novel.net hurried over and began to flit his hands all over his body.
“I’m fine. It’s just a small wound. Go and take a look at that guy…” Isaac pointed at Heartless, who was tied to a tree with thick rope.
Harry was taken aback.
“He doesn’t have a heart… How is virtual-novel.net alive?” Isaac said.
Harry’s mouth twitched, and virtual-novel.net laughed. “He doesn’t have a heart? How’s that possible? How can a person live without a heart?”
He quickly walked over to Heartless. Then, virtual-novel.net reached out and touched his chest.
Harry’s face suddenly drained of color, and virtual-novel.net fell onto his behind in fright.
Isaac walked over, regarding Heartless coldly.
“The Ninja Lord has been searching for someone for the past ten years. Who is it? What‘s their name?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Heartless’ head snapped up to reveal a surprised look on his face. It immediately morphed into a cold smile. “Do you think I’d tell you?”
“I do…” Isaac lit a cigarette with a serious expression.
