Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 678 The Real Monster

Kevin's eyes glanced on the window once more. Even though Kanae was powerful, this was not the first floor. If someone fell from this height, there was no doubt that person would die.

He wanted to help her out, but the blade had appeared before him once more. Kevin raised his sword and blocked the attack. His feet struggled to keep himself firm in his unstable position on the stairs.

"You should focus on the fight, young man," Ferdinand sounded as if he was teaching a young soldier to fight.

Raising his sword once more, Kevin attacked Ferdinand rapidly from every angle he could. The difference in height because of the stairs didn't matter to him as he pounced at Ferdinand rapidly. If something happened to Kanae, he would never be able to forgive this man.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of their clashes reverberated in the room, telling everyone that there was an intense battle going on.

Ferdinand parried the attack from Kevin. As he switched his position, he kicked forward, sending the man down the stairs and crashed to the wall. With a cold gaze, he picked up his phone.

"Destruction activated," he said emotionlessly.

Kevin was stunned, but his body refused to listen to him. The pain caused him unable to move momentarily. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the forest. A large smoke appeared from within the forest.

His pupil shrunk.

Jason was still there. Also, he was pretty sure that there should be someone else inside.

Ferdinand dialed another number leisurely. He didn't place any importance to the two people who were aiming to take his life as he moved down the stairs.

"Jon, I see you have slipped away." Ferdinand's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't mind at all.

"Ah, you noticed," a lazy and playful voice sounded from the phone. "The situation is pretty bad over there. I don't want to get involved any longer, so I'm escaping on my own."

"You should pray that I never find you."

"I'm not worried even if you find me. At most, you'll only force me to work for you because you need my skill."

Ferdinand saw that Kevin had stood up again behind him. He was about to prepare himself to defend when he saw the young lady behind the window in front of him. As he had stepped into the lower floor, the window was still intact, separating him from the fierce young lady.

"We shall see, Jon."

"I won't meddle into your business again, Ferdinand. You know how much I hated complicated matters, so goodbye."

He had just finished the call when Kanae cut the window using her sword and barged inside. When she was thrown out of the window, she stretched her hand and grabbed the window. The part that was slightly stuck out became her life saver.

The wind outside the tower slapped her harshly, but she ignored them as she forced herself to move. Climbing up, she steadied herself in that small space when she saw Ferdinand walked closer nonchalantly. Her eyes burned with rage and worry because she knew that Kevin should be near.

Using her sword to cut down the window, she attacked the man once more.

Clang!

Ferdinand swiftly moved his body as he parried Kanae's next attack. As he did so, he pushed Kanae from behind, sending her forward.

In front of her was Kevin, who was ready to attack Ferdinand. Seeing Kanae, he halted his movement and caught the girl as they fell to the back unsteadily.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes. What about you?" Kanae looked back at Kevin. She crashed on top of this man, so she was basically fine.

Kevin nodded his head. it was not that painful because he didn't make any excessive movement. Even though there was some pain on his back, he didn't mention it to Kanae.

"You two are too weak to go against the great me," Ferdinand said as he continued to descend the stairs. His unhurried pace made it clear that he was not worried about him being attacked.

"Each one of us might not be able to defeat you, but it's a different case with the two of us," Kevin said coldly as he stood up. His gaze followed after the man, who didn't treat them as his equal.

Ferdinand glanced back. "You're a complete failure for your own talent. A real soldier would never put his feelings on the front and not pay attention in the battlefield. Even a slight mishap can cost you your life."

It was not only a battlefield. Even in Black Street, the rule was the same because they were not allowed to be careless. A single mistake might cost them their lives. However, the degree of battle between battlefield and Black Street was completely different.

"I'm not a soldier, I'm just someone who's raised in the harsh place," Kevin said as he stomped forward with Kanae following after him.

The two of them started another barrage of attack against Ferdinand. Kevin directed his attack to challenge Ferdinand frontally while Kanae made use of her speed to make wounds here and there. The two of them worked together as they attacked Ferdinand rapidly.

'Too slow and too weak.'

Ferdinand replied to their attack with ease. His eyes didn't show any expression as he fought against the two of them. Even though they were powerful, they were not his match. If they had waited to groom themselves for a few more years, they might pose a threat to him.

But right now, they were not his match at all.

He pushed the attack directed at him from Kevin. The young man nearly stumbled on the stairs, but he held on. Ferdinand switched his blade's position and blocked both Kanae and Kevin's attack. Afterward, he stretched his hand and grabbed Kevin's arm.

"Ugh…"

Kevin was about to swing his blade when he felt his body was moved into the air. In the next second, he could see the stairs below him as Ferdinand had thrown him to the middle, which would direct him straight to the first floor.

His hand tried to grab the railings, but it failed miserably. At most, he only managed to slow down his fall a bit.

Bam!

"Kevin!" Kanae's heart dropped down when she saw what had happened. She moved faster and tried to attack Ferdinand from every direction. However, Ferdinand blocked her attack with ease.

The moment she got close to Ferdinand, he stretched his hand and caught one of her feet. Kanae could feel that she was floating on the air. Her body twisted, aiming to attack the man's arm, but he had let her go in the middle of the stairs too.

Her pupil shrank as she desperately tried to hang on the railing. However, the pain on her arm forced her to let it go. In less than one second, she had fallen to the ground on the first floor.
