Chapter 810: Chapter 426 ’Dead’ Ice and Snow Queen

As Ivita’s clone was simultaneously monitoring both sides of Ambros and infiltrating them to start investigating the forces involved with Ambros, Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, and Kristin had already left the castle and entered the thick forest.

The Hearthstone Witch asked Kristin, "Why are the trees here getting denser and denser, with nothing around, not even a village? Are you sure you haven’t led us astray?"

"And there are more and more magical creatures here."

No sooner had the Hearthstone Witch finished speaking than Kristin notched and loosed an arrow from her bow towards the jungle. The hunting arrow, wrapped in astonishing Evil Qi, pierced the spine of a dinosaur-like magical creature and then disintegrated it.

Ivita recognized the magical creature, a Clawed Crawling Lizard that a witch apprentice had fallen into.

The Hearthstone Witch couldn’t help but walk over to Kristin and slap her shoulder. "Is this place reliable at all?"

But who knew, the Kristin she patted turned into a phantom and vanished on the spot.

Kristin appeared on the branch of a tree five meters away, and Ivita immediately understood that this was a core skill of a fourth-tier Hunter, creating illusions.

Kristin said to Ivita, "Since you left Ambros, I have been thinking about the source of a Hunter’s power. I’ve told you before that I discovered a Hunter’s power doesn’t stem from hatred."

"Nor from vengeance, but from protection."

"Under such sentiment, I pondered night and day about the future path of a Hunter, until I finally discovered that Hunters can also have their own fifth tier."

"Thus, I gained a new power—Heart Eye. Of course, I haven’t reached the fifth tier yet."

Ivita looked at her, amazed.

Unexpectedly, a profession that was at most third-tier had been pushed by the genius Kristin to an unbelievable height, a height that was previously thought to be unreachable.

If Hunters could reach the fifth tier, the significance of the Hunter profession would rise dramatically, rather than being a special profession unique to Ambros.

The Hearthstone Witch, realizing that Kristin was ignoring her, was very angry, yet she suddenly remembered that Kristin seemed to quite dislike her wizard identity, so she kept her mouth shut.

After all, what compares to safety in face of honor?

Ivita asked, "What is Heart Eye? Can it help us find the person who has been secretly observing us?"

Kristin stood on the canopy of a tall tree, footing on the branches, looking into the distance. "Hmm... it can’t. Because it needs to be combined with the tracking skills of the Hunt."

"Ever since I was certain half a year ago that someone had been watching me, I had been thinking about how to track it down. Heart Eye was conceived under that state of mind."

Kristin closed her eyes. "Since human vision cannot track the mastermind behind the scenes, then let me use Heart Eye to track."

Kristin was clearly just closing her eyes, but the Hearthstone Witch always had the strange illusion that she was being stared at intently.

Through the Eye of the Demon on Ivita’s forehead, he saw a colorless, transparent eyeball about the size of a basketball hovering three inches above Kristin’s head, swiveling in all directions.

Suddenly, the eyeball fixed in the southeast direction.

When Kristin opened her eyes, her gaze shot out red glows, filled with phantasmal reflections, as if staring intently at an enemy, and she rapidly pursued in the southeast direction.

Ivita was about to transform into a peregrine falcon to follow, but he was stopped by the Hearthstone Witch.

The Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita, "I think we can’t trust her entirely."

"Your Majesty, we should be more cautious."

Ivita looked at the Hearthstone Witch oddly, "You are being overly cautious. Let’s go."

Together, they took flight, transforming into a peregrine falcon and a vulture to follow Kristin, who had already gone far.

In mid-air, Ivita contemplated. ’Something is very wrong with the Hearthstone Witch now.’

’Right, I almost forgot, in comparison to Ambros, the Hearthstone Witch is also a high-tier professional, she is also fourth-tier. Perhaps, the existence that’s been watching us has already influenced the Hearthstone Witch ahead of time.’

Ivita unfolded his Light Soul, checking if there were any strange forces around himself and the Hearthstone Witch.

But he found nothing.

This made Ivita even more wary.

’Under normal circumstances, especially in places like this where there’s likely to be lots of wild beasts and magical creatures, it’s not possible that there’s no magical power at all. But now I can’t sense anything.’ Ivita understood that the existence that was watching them from the dark was constantly monitoring them, its power causing the dispersal of weaker magical forces around them.

’What exactly is it?’ Ivita thought, ’Could it be the Witch Marquis who was sealed? If it’s the Witch Marquis, then border magic that ignores distance would be possible, seeming to curse the whole country wouldn’t be a problem.’

Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch followed Kristin and arrived at a valley deep in the dense forest. The location of the valley was too hidden, and because it was in the midst of the forest, it was practically untouched by humans.

Ivita even saw some human bones at the edge of the valley.

Presumably, some lost civilians had accidentally come here but mostly succumbed and perished within.

Ivita found Kristin and asked her, "Could the person behind the scenes be in this valley?"

Kristin didn’t speak, only shook her head, looking at the chaos of boulders and becoming lost in thought.
