Baron Cullen

The meal took almost an hour.

Karen obtained a lot of useful information from Lamont and gained a clearer understanding of the connections among the nobles of Breathless City.

The two then walked out of the tavern together.

Night had completely enveloped the City of Breath, but Queen Street remained brightly lit and bustling with people.

The two said their goodbyes at the restaurant entrance, and Lamont got into a carriage and returned to Kenny's mansion.

Karen did not take her own carriage, but sent the coachman back first, while she walked towards her own mansion.

I haven't been in this world for very long.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the City of No Breath and sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

He followed the original owner's memories through the streets and soon turned into a relatively quiet alley.

The moonlight, fragmented by the towering buildings, spilled onto the cobblestone path, making the alleyway quite dim.

However, just as Karen reached the middle of the alley, a black-robed man suddenly rushed out from around the corner ahead!

The man seemed surprised to find someone in the alley so late at night, and bumped into him unexpectedly.

boom!

Karen was knocked back two steps, while the man in black only swayed slightly before regaining his balance.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the other person was a man wearing a hood and a black cloak.

The man in black, whose path was blocked, suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of extremely cold eyes beneath his hood.

"Get out of here!"

The man in the black robe gave a low shout, his tone extremely unfriendly, and reached out to push Karen away.

Karen frowned and stepped aside to avoid the other person's hand.

He is now a true Tier 1 warrior, with reaction speed and reaction time far exceeding that of ordinary people.

When the man in the black robe saw Karen avoid him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a ruthless glint.

"court death!"

He cursed under his breath, and his right hand, hidden under his cloak, suddenly appeared.

He was holding a sharp dagger in his hand and thrust it toward Karen's throat without hesitation!

This attack was swift and ruthless, and it also carried an extremely obvious extraordinary aura!

Without a doubt, the other party wanted to kill him!

Karen was startled.

He never expected the other party to be so ruthless, resorting to murder without a word.

He didn't have time to think it through and instinctively activated the mysterious runes deep within his right eye!

From that peculiar perspective, the man in black seemed to move a fraction of a second slower.

He took the opportunity to lean back quickly, while simultaneously pushing off with his feet to try and create distance.

Even with the enhancement of the mysterious runes, the black-robed man was still quite fast. The dagger in his hand almost grazed Karen's throat, and the wind it generated made his skin sting.

"The reaction was good, but the skill level seems a bit lacking!"

The man in black robes snorted coldly, his figure moving like a ghost as he approached again!

His other hand, holding a dagger, silently reached out and launched another swift attack on Karen!

Karen was tense all over, her attention highly focused.

However, when he tried to examine the extraordinary pathways within the black-robed man's body to find a way to break the deadlock, he saw the dazzling points of light scattered throughout the man's entire body!

His expression changed drastically in an instant!

This guy is strong!

It is definitely not something he can fight against right now!

Karen made a decision instantly.

He used the mysterious runes to predict the opponent's attack trajectory, and suddenly rolled to the right, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow once again!

At the same time, he did not hesitate to unleash the violent power that had been dormant deep within his body.

That was a special ability he gained with the help of mysterious runes when he completed his warrior class awakening.

War Roar!

"roar!!!"

A roar that seemed to carry endless rage and intense ferocity spread from Karen's mouth.

This roar could not cause any actual harm, but it carried a penetrating power that went straight to the soul!

The man in the black robe paused and immediately stopped.

For the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in his eyes; he was completely stunned in that instant!

Even the extraordinary elements within his body showed signs of stagnation under that roar!

"There's something fishy about this kid!"

The man in black robes' expression shifted, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, as if he hesitated about whether to continue the attack.

At that moment, Karen, contrary to her usual behavior, rushed over!

He immediately drew the short sword from his waist and infused it with the extraordinary elements within his body.

This sword was not sharpened and was originally intended as a decoration. The blade was made of expensive metal and was engraved with exquisite patterns and the Waller family crest.

However, with the infusion of extraordinary elements, even the unsharpened short sword now emitted a ringing sound due to the slight tremor!

Taking advantage of his momentum, he decisively unleashed the first-tier combat skill he had just mastered that day, "Savage Thrust"!

In the blink of an eye, he swiftly closed in on the man in black robes, his short sword sweeping out and aimed straight at the man's throat!

With a click!

Seeing the danger approaching, the man in black robes instinctively twisted his body, allowing the sword to strike his chest hard!

"Well!!"

After a muffled groan.

He staggered backward, finally stopping a few meters away. His eyes showed no anger, but rather deep apprehension.

At the same time, Karen did not choose to pursue.

The reason he suddenly chose to attack was because "War Roar" enhanced his physical abilities at that moment.

In his words from his previous life, it was like getting an adrenaline injection.

Unfortunately, this state did not last long, and he was already beginning to feel a sense of fatigue rising within him.

As for why he used the first-tier combat skill "Savage Thrust" instead of the second-tier combat skill "Slash," it was simply because at that moment he only wanted to quickly get close to his opponent and see if he could steal a hit.

After all, with the help of the mysterious runes, he knew very well that his opponent's strength far exceeded his own.

In this situation, even if you use "Gnawing Slash", it may not be effective.

Even so, Karen still gripped her sword tightly and assumed an attack stance.

On the other side, the man in the black robe looked at Karen's fearless appearance and his eyes flickered a few times.

He didn't understand. This kid clearly only looked like a first-tier warrior, so why did he dare to attack him?

Adding to that the eerie roar that had just caused the extraordinary elements within his body to come to a standstill, he couldn't see through the young man in front of him at all.

Is he deliberately hiding his true abilities?

The man in the black robe was working frantically, then glanced at both ends of the alley, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Kid, I've got my eye on you!"

After careful consideration, he ultimately dared not linger.

After uttering a harsh remark, his figure flickered and disappeared completely, as if blending into the surrounding shadows.

Karen stood still, vigilantly watching her surroundings.

After a moment, once he was sure the other person had left, he leaned against the cold wall and let out a long sigh of relief, calming his racing heart and the surging blood in his body.

The feeling he had when facing the man in black robes just now made him feel very uncomfortable.

The feeling was like when he unfortunately encountered a ferocious tiger with predatory eyes in the wild in his previous life.

Without a doubt, if they were to actually fight, he would die here instantly!

Karen recalled the scene she had just seen through the mysterious runes.

The black-robed man's body was filled with countless points of light, like stars in the sky, which occupied almost every corner of his body!

Although not as brilliant as Lamont, it is far more dazzling than what is within Lamore.

In other words, the man in black robes was a third-tier transcendent!

A cool night breeze swept through the alley, and Karen felt a chill.

Fearing the man in black might suddenly turn back, he dared not linger any longer and immediately quickened his pace, walking briskly towards Waller's mansion.
