Chapter 22 The Shadow of Dusk

Covering his nose, Levi stood beside the bloody place with an unusually serious expression.

This was the bloody place found by the residents who had returned to the city from the forest half an hour ago.

Judging from the situation on the spot, there had been a dispute in this place.

Judging from the traces on the spot, the two sides of the dispute should be six people, two people, and some traces that seemed to be summoning beasts.

The most obvious traces were the pair of footprints that spun around in the center of the bloody place.

"Sir, we have a preliminary investigation. This is a one-sided crushing battle."

Grover pointed at the bloody place.

"In addition to the footprints of six adult men, there are also footprints of five to six canine animals. On the other side, there are only footprints of two adult men and suspected footprints of a bear."

"Okay, that's it! Let's call it a day!"

Levi nodded and ordered to withdraw.

All the subordinates, including Grover, had no objection to this.

They had already been responsible for the investigation of the scene.

At the exit of the forest, two teams with great disparity in strength had a dispute here, resulting in casualties.

It meant that the worry in Levi's heart had gradually become reality.

"Let's go. I'm afraid the news about what happened today will spread quickly!"

As for this, Levi felt that he was not capable enough.

Originally, he wanted to find the man who had wiped out the goblin tribe and asked him to help them find stronger summoning beasts to protect the city. Now, this idea was more and more urgent.

"Grover. Try to find Julian after you go back."

"Yes, sir!"

In the sports equipment shop of Hilary.

Hilary who had returned here suddenly had an illusion as if it had happened yesterday.

Before he set out, his summoning beast died and was bullied by the local hooligans. He was almost killed by the hooligans' goblins.

Now, when he came back from the forest, he once had a summoning beast. And it was the earth bear with an excellent qualification.

"Manager, we are leaving now. Please have a good rest!"

Standing at the door of the sports equipment store, Ethan ordered Hulk to send the prey he had hunted along the way into the store.

"Okay. Thank you so much! Ethan, Freya, and Hulk."

Hilary bowed deeply to Ethan and others.

"If you need any help in the future, please let me know! I will do my best to assist you! Besides, my previous promise is still valid. The equipment there belongs to you!"

"You're too humble, manager. After all, you have helped us a lot. If we enter the forest again in the future, I'm afraid we will have to rely on the equipment you provide!"

Ethan waved his hand and said sincerely.

Although this trip to the forest was not a long one, the field survival equipment prepared by Hilary did surprise Ethan, and even Freya, who was born in nature.

"Ethan is right. Your tent makes me feel very comfortable. Next time I enter the forest, I need your help!"

Seeing that Ethan and Freya were satisfied with his field survival equipment, Hilary laughed out loud.

"Really? Then I have to prepare well. I believe next time, I will make Ethan and Miss Freya satisfied!"

After saying goodbye to Hilary, Hulk returned to the summoning book.

Ethan and Freya didn't go home immediately. Instead, they went to a nearby park.

In the past few days, the city that had recovered from the shock brought by the summoning book began to show its potential. It quickly wiped out goblins, who had invaded the city, and let peace once again envelop the city.

Walking on the edge of the lake, Ethan's eyes fell on the bench with dark brown marks at the edge.

"Are you worried that the goblins will enter this city again?"

Freya's long blonde hair fluttered in the wind, emitting a pleasant fragrance, which cheered Ethan up.

"Yes, I have this worry. Those little things are not easy to give up. Although the residents of this city have adapted to the existence of summoning beasts and directed them to protect themselves, the things hidden in the forest are not something that this city can resist."

Ethan thought of the evil mentioned by Freya.

If all this was done by the so-called evil, then this city was just a lamb to be slaughtered.

Freya reached out to smooth her hair and said softly.

"Although the reason is not clear, I can be sure that the evil should not have such a powerful ability."

"The evil doesn't have such a powerful ability?"

Ethan thought for a moment and felt that what Freya said seemed to be reasonable.

The change in this city might wasn't caused by the so-called evil. Otherwise, the enemy that had appeared around the city so far should not only be goblins.

In the past few days, they were led by Freya.

Ethan, who had personally walked into the depths of the forest, notice that the forest did not seem to care too much about the appearance of this human city. As if this city was just an insignificant passer-by.

"No. maybe this forest is still under observation!"

This city that suddenly appeared shouldn't be just like this.

Generally speaking, a commotion should have been triggered long ago.

"Freya, the elf, Audrey, you mentioned before may have come to this city."

It was another dusk.

Since the city was suddenly surrounded by forests of unknown origin, every dusk represented the arrival of a terrible night.

Especially on these nights, the arrival of the night reminded them of those terrible experiences.

"Can't you just be quiet?"

Aidan, whose hands and feet were wrapped in bandages, gritted his teeth and shouted, unable to move at all.

Since he came to the hospital, he had heard the screams of those women.

According to the doctor, these women had been saved from the nearby monster tribe.

Although Aidan didn't know about the miserable situation of those women being saved, Aidan could tell from their screams that they must have suffered a terrible experience.

"Weak people with insufficient strength should have been like this!"

Aidan wanted to cover his ears to avoid those screams, but he couldn't do such a simple action.

Because his hands and feet were pierced by arrows, he could not recover in a short time.

"That damn bastard! Just wait and see!"

If it weren't for that bastard who shot arrows secretly and the big guy, Julian would have been just a clown!

"Ha-ha. It seems that you want to stand up again, right?"

Just as Aidan was filled with resentment, a burst of charming laughter quietly rang out.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

"Come out!"

Aidan struggled to get up and looked around the room quickly. But he didn't find anyone.

"The injured should lie on the bed and rest obediently!"

Aidan only felt that in a daze of light in front of the bed, a beautiful body appeared in front of him.

She was a woman with light purple skin, long silver hair, and red pupils. She had a strange but exceptionally attractive face.

The woman opened her mouth and seductively said.

"Good evening, human."

"You! Who the hell are you?"

Aidan trembled and shouted nervously.

Although the woman in front of him was enchanting and beautiful, Aidan felt a sense of danger.

As long as the woman in front of him was willing to, he would be killed in the blink of an eye.

"Ha-ha..."

The woman didn't care about Aidan's yelling at all.

The demonic body bent down slightly. And her slender fingers touched Aidan's chest, gently drawing circles.

"Don't be so heartless. After all, you are still injured. If you are not careful enough, I'm afraid your injury will become more serious!"

When the woman laughed, amazing softness pressed down on Aidan's body.

His ears were filled with the heat that was going to break his heart.

"What the hell do you want to do? If you keep doing this, I'll call someone!"

Aidan trembled and struggled between the astonishing softness and the coldness of death.

"Well, you can shout. After all, it's your freedom!"

The woman propped up her body and touched Aidan's face with her fingers. She moved slowly around his neck as if she was stroking a precious treasure.

Somehow, under the stimulation of life and death, Aidan's will gradually become in a trance, until the pair of red pupils appeared in front of him.

"Well, sir, can you tell me something about this city?"

The woman's slender hand slid down quietly as she spoke with soft and breathtaking power.

In an instant, Aidan's eyes turned red, as if the wildness hidden in his body had been awakened. He was about to turn into a beast.

"Ha-ha. Your reaction is so cute. If you can tell me everything about this city, maybe I will satisfy you!"

"Such as endless pleasure!"

"Or to restore your ability to move again, and to give you a powerful strength!"
