Hearing the approaching footsteps of the man wearing the black robes resounding in his ears, it made Fayle run even faster.
20 metres!
10 metres!
5 metres!
1 metres!
Fayle grabbed hold of the large main doors of the tall tower and dashed outside.
*Peng!* The door behind was closed shut. To Fayle’s utter dismay, he actually appeared inside his bedroom once again. Also, there was only a 3 metres distance between him and the man now!
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What’s happening?”
Fayle gritted his teeth and continued to run, yet returning to his room every time.
Finally, tears and mucus ran down Fayle’s face as he returned yet again to his room and closing the door shut tightly.
*Dong! Dong!* The knocking sounds that were the footsteps of the death god. Fayle felt that every step was stepping directly on his heart.
“Mentor! Papa! Mama! Save me!”
Fayle crouched behind the door, crying like a little child.
As if hearing his pants, the booming footsteps halted. Finally, when it was just one step away from the door, it disappeared….
Fayle was pale stricken as he waited for a good half hour before his trembling hands opened the door, only to see no one there.
“Hu….”
Fayle exhaled a large breath and collapsed to the ground as if all the bones had been removed from his body.
“It’s finally gone! I must write a letter to Mentor tomorrow and let him check what had transpired…”
Fayle closed the door.
Suddenly, just when he had turned around, a dishevelled face appeared right before him.
What came closely following it was a black metal hook!
*Pu!* This time, the black metal hook directly broke through Fayle’s defensive forcefield and gouged his right eyeball out.
The moment his eye was hooked out, black and red viscous liquid mixture flowed out.
The man seemed to be unsatisfied as his sent his hook at Fayle’s head again!
*Bang!* Fayle’s body was sent to the ground from the force. The metal hook bore through his brains deeply. Fayle was still unconsciously writhing before he lost all signs of life.
*Brush!*
Following wipe, the man in black robes immediately withdrew a greasy bone saw and began to expertly dissect Fayle’s corpse.
After the dissection, Fayle’s muscles had been completely stripped clean. The colour of it too turned even redder, revealing the veins of blood, similar to that found in the beef tenderloin!
Winding the time back to yesterday morning.
The black robed man knocked on the kitchen’s door of the tall tower, revealing a hideous smile. “Do you want to buy meat? I have good tenderloin steak for sale…”
……
Several li away from Fayle’s tall tower, Leylin looked at a spell formation with a solemn expression.
In the centre of the formation, a black flame was flickering, in the heart of it was the scene of Fayle’s ending.
With the images continuously flashing by, Leylin stared at the image without blinking, mysteriously chanting at the same time.
Finally, after the black robed man killed Fayle and scoured his flesh clean, Leylin’s expression loosened.
*Pa!* The black coloured spell formation collapsed.
The surroundings immediately quietened down and a dead silence followed after.
*Dong Dong!*
The black robed man inside the image earlier appeared in front of Leylin.
“You’re here now?” Leylin seemed to have expected it, with no shocked expression on his face.
“Shihiohj” The black robed man let off several indiscernible words and charged towards Leylin.
*Bang!* The black metal hook was grabbed by a scaly palm.
Leylin faced the black robed man and could even see the crude construction of his facial features.
“Look into my eyes!” Leylin spoke gently with a hissing voice like that of a snake’s.
The black robed man unconsciously looked into Leylin’s eyes.
