With no one to interrupt their journey, Aaron and Aerith flew out of the city''s southern gate.


    Their destination was the ck Bough Forest ording to the map shown by the Dark Legion''s map slip earlier.


    The location was quite far from Noah City, but the two could tell the difference. The trees in the ck Bough Forest grew tall, unlike the average height of trees in general.


    With the size of the ck Bough Forest, Aaron could confirm that it wasn''t just Dark Legion members who were in that ce. Chances were, the Dark Legion''s headquarters was within the forest.


    From the front, Aaron saw that there was dense green air emanating from the poisonous branches of the trees.


    "Fly low among the trees. Don''t risk getting into that green mist," Aaron ordered.


    Aerith nodded in agreement. She and Aaron began to fly low and into the dense forest, flying past several trees with agile movements.


    ording to the mapping that appeared on the Dark Legion map slip, this forest was ssified as a red zone. Aaron looked down, he clearly saw wild monsters roaming below.


    Even so, they couldn''t attack Aaron and Aerith because of the two''s fast flying speed. They could only chase while hoping they would stop flying andnd on the ground.


    No! Aaron wouldn''tnd before he arrived inside the ck Bough Forest area.


    If Aaron had to specte, it was possible that the ck Bough Forest was a ce of illusory maniption of the Dark Legion members'' powers.


    "Aaron! Look ahead," Aerith emphasized.


    Aaron turned his attention to the front, seeing that there was a wall of purple light that stretched out like it was separating two different forests.


    The man nced down, the monsters from both regions didn''t seem to be very friendly towards each other.


    "Is it possible that the people of the Dark Legion created this magic wall?" Aaron asked, flying closer without daring to touch the mysterious purple wall.


    "It''s possible. There are some abilities that can be applied if a mage is at a high level," said Aerith.


    "Can you destroy it?" asked Aaron, turning his head to look at Aerith.


    "You want to destroy it? That will activate the territory defense mechanism. The entire Dark Legion will hunt you down and kill you," Aerith replied.


    "Then what can we do?"


    Aerith was silent for a moment. She raised her hand to the level of her sight, then focused on bringing out a maroon magic aura from her right hand.


    With that power, Aerith tried to fly closer and touch the wall. There was a small disturbance at first because the woman was not controlling the magic aura in her hand, but after stabilizing, Aerith watched as her hand sessfully prated the purple wall of the region.


    "It worked," said Aerith.


    "How did you do it?" asked Aaron.


    "You just need to flood your entire body with a dark magic aura. Apparently, this purple wall system only detects someone with dark elements as a member of the Dark Legion," exined Aerith.


    ''If so, this defense is really weak. Do they think they''re the only dark element users?'' Aaron asked.


    Aerith flowed her dark magic energy aura into all parts of her body without exception. Before entering, she needed to bnce that energy and resist the aggressive nature of the dark element.


    In the end, the woman managed to enter after breaking through the purple magic wall. Aaron was amazed, Aerith kept waving her hands inviting Aaron to enter.


    Aaron did the same, summoning his own purple magic aura and wrapping his entire body in the same energy.


    The two of them managed to infiltrate the area. Surprisingly, Aaron thought the ck Bough Forest was just a wilderness full of wild animals and so on. However, Aaron''s guess waspletely wrong.


    There was a magnificent castle in the middle of the forest, with flying mages with purple trails along their flight path.


    The guards at the castle gate were not just any guards either, there were two stone golems that werepletely controlled by purple magic.


    "What''s your n?" asked Aerith.


    "I n to reveal the reason they''re killing people. If I can, I want to capture important Dark Legion officials," Aaron replied.


    Aaron and Aerith flew low and hid behind arge banyan tree. From there, Aaron and Aerith continued to watch the castle.


    "From my vision, the weakest mage tier among them is Great Sage, and the highest is Archmage," Aerith exined.


    ''Archmage? This is serious. A Venerable Sage is already difficult, how am I going to fight an Archmage?'' Aaron asked.


    "If the situation is urgent, we will go using dimensional abilities," said Aaron, Aerith nodded in understanding.


    From both of their eyes, a small group of five people stepped out of the castle. They went with the purpose of undergoing a cleanup mission in the wild forest, they seemed to be part of the Dark Legion.


    "We''ll infiltrate using my n."


    "It might sound crazy, but we''d better get on with it," Aaron exined.


    Aerith turned her head, seeing exactly what Aaron was nning to do. Aaron pointed at the five members of the Dark Legion, those who had just exited the walls of the ck Bough Forest region.


    The woman beside Aaron heard the man''s exnation. She understood what she had to do.

    The two again flew away from that ce and out of the ck Bough Forest territory. The five Dark Legion members felt a strong momentum of magic energy from behind them.


    One of them turned around and was shocked to see a strangering out of Dark Legion territory.


    "YOU? Who are you?!" said the man leading the group of five.


    Instead of Aaron, it was Aerith who charged forward. With her maroon magic maniption ability, she defeated the five people in the Great Sage mage tier with ease.


    Three people died with dying bodies. Luckily for Aaron, he didn''t need to get his hands dirty to kill them. There was the figure of Aerith who could help him well.


    If Aerith had killed them, then the title murderer wouldn''t have been obtained by him since he didn''t have an individual system.


    Also, Aaron wouldn''t get the red title since he wasn''t the one who killed them.


    Two people looked alive with tattered clothes. Aaron took the clothes, as well as Aerith. With their magic skills, the Dark Legion uniforms were good as new again.


    Now, Aaron and Aerith looked like members of the Dark Legion group. With the uniforms and the semnce of the dark elements, people wouldn''t suspect them.


    They stepped back into the purple wall of light. Since they were already wearing the Dark Legion uniforms, the two of them ventured closer to the castle gate.


    Aaron raised his head, seeing two stone golems staring back at him. Without any response, they opened the door for Aaron and Aerith to enter.


    "It''s easier than I thought," Aerith exined.


    "Don''t joke around so much. Put on a serious face," Aaron said, Aerith nodded.


    They stepped through the gate passage until they arrived at the spacious front yard of the Dark Legion castle.


    There was a garden and several water fountains, several other Dark Legion members also stepped out ignoring each other.


    ''Although I just entered, but I can feel the tension of this ce. How scary is the leader of this ce?'' Aaron asked.


    Aaron and Aerith again stepped on the frontwn of the castle, trying to dig up information about The Shadowless Killer.


    "I can''t believe this!"ined someone, stepping quickly behind Aaron.


    The man pulled Aerith out of the way. He continued to mutter in annoyance, apanied by tworge-breasted women who kept himpany.


    "He died in the city. Could that bastard Kang have done it?" the manined, mentioning Kang''s name.


    ''Does he have any involvement with the Shadowless Killer?'' Aaron asked.


    The man stepped inside with his two women. Aaron didn''t want to be left behind, he also walked in with Aerith stepping beside him.


    Although both of them tried to follow the man, but not at a close distance. Aaron set his distance far enough away so as not to cross paths with him.


    At a nce, Aaron saw the man enter a room. He opened the door roughly and said that someone had been killed.


    The door was left open, making it easy for Aaron to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. Unexpectedly, there were several people who noticed Aaron and Aerith''s presence.


    With a brief hand gesture, he shook the ce making Aaron and Aerith''s figurese out from where they were eavesdropping.


    "Who are you guys?" the person asked, sharply.


    ''Shit, what am I supposed to do?'' Aaron asked.@@novelbin@@


    "We are—"


    "We came to be the Shadowless Killer," interrupted Aerith, raising a hand, making Aaron panic.


    The people in the room were at least in the Great Wizard and Venerable Sage mage tier. If they attacked, it would be hard for Aaron to win.


    "Really? What are your abilities?" one of the men asked Aerith.


    "Anything."


    "What about that guy?" asked the man in the room.


    "He''s a friend of mine. I brought him along because we''re a duo."
