The Evolution of the Weakest Ghoul

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Who are you really?

Ronan couldn’t help but freak out.

It was over.

Really... it was over.

What the hell?

Why hadn’t he thought of this?

Was he stupid?

Meanwhile, Yen’s eyes turned cold. She was prepared to fight if necessary, or at the very least, help Ronan escape.

The atmosphere grew tense as the soldiers began surrounding the portal, watching the standoff between the two parties.

Just as the situation reached its breaking point, a voice suddenly echoed through the area.

"Wait."

A woman’s voice rang out as a figure pushed through the crowd.

The instant she appeared, Ronan was stunned.

After all, this was the same woman he had seen when he first arrived in the capital...

The woman who had been capable of defeating a Sovereign Realm expert despite being only at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

Hesa.

"Let them go."

"They aren’t affiliated with the Duke Family. They are guests who came from afar."

Hesa spoke with a smile, the looking at Ronan, she continued.

"Maiden, I have been tasked with escorting you to the border."

"Please."

Hesa finished speaking.

Ronan stood frozen.

What was actually happening?

How did Hesa know they were guests?

Had they been discovered?

Were they being led somewhere so they could be killed?

Ronan’s mind was a complete mess.

Regardless, he nodded.

He and Yen walked toward the portal, while Hesa apologized to the soldiers before entering the portal with them.

"Seriously... how did we not know the kingdom had guests?"

As they watched the portal gradually fade, one of the soldiers couldn’t help but ask.

"Heh... wait."

"Remember the news we received about the assassination of the Duke’s son two weeks ago?"

Another soldier suddenly asked.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

The soldier beside him frowned.

"Wait... he’s right."

"You were on a quest at the time, but yeah... Young Master Bama was assassinated."

"Then it was said that he was saved by a crimson-eyed Maiden."

"That couldn’t have been her... right?"

Another soldier chimed in.

"Ah..."

"Wait, that explains that strange aura around her."

"She must be the one.."

"Somehow, those crimson eyes look so beautiful."

"Yeah, you’re right."

"Then I guess she came with them because the Duke wanted to thank her."

"Well, I suppose it would be better to escort them out of the capital during the Duke Family’s current crisis."

"Yeah."

"That’s the least they could do."

"After all, all their secrets and wrongdoings have been exposed."

"It would be selfish of them to drag the person who saved their young master’s life into all of this."

Meanwhile...

After passing through the portal, Ronan, Yen, and Hesa appeared in Sanju City, the border city.

Hesa smiled.

"Let’s go."

Yen exchanged a glance with Ronan.

Ronan was still somewhat absent-minded, but he nodded.

The two followed Hesa.

With Hesa leading the way, they left the city quickly.

Everyone recognized her, and many were visibly amazed by her presence.

Eventually, they left the border city and traveled deep into the forest.

Then Hesa stopped.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Maiden..."

"If you don’t mind, can you tell me the name of the continent you’re from?"

Hesa asked with a sweet smile.

Ronan’s expression froze.

What the hell?

Could it be that he had actually been exposed?

"The... Uniba Continent."

"What kingdom?"..., hesa asked

"The Shini—"

The instant Ronan answered, Hesa cut him off.

"There’s no kingdom like that..."

"Nor is there any continent called the Uniba Continent."

Hesa cut him off again.

Badump!

Ronan’s heart skipped a beat.

Beside him, Yen’s heart began racing as her Sovereign Realm aura started fluctuating.

It seemed they had been discovered.

But if that was the case...

Was this entire place a trap?

"Would you like to try again... Maiden?"

Hesa asked, emphasizing the final word.

"Uh... it is the—"

"You can’t even come up with a proper answer."

"Tell me."

"Who are you really?"

Hesa asked.

Yen clenched her fists, her eyes darting around as she searched for any sign of an ambush.

If she moved, she needed to be certain that she wasn’t falling into an enemy trap.

More importantly, she couldn’t allow Ronan to be injured.

After all...

Ronan’s life was tied to hers.

If he died, she would die as well.

"Master... duck!"

Yen suddenly shouted.

Ronan immediately dropped to the ground.

A cold wind brushed over his head, instantly tearing away the clothing covering it.

Ronan hurriedly covered his bald head.

Meanwhile, Yen activated her Child of the Night ability and grabbed Hesa’s fist.

BOOM!

An intense gust of wind exploded from the collision.

The surrounding trees were violently pushed to one side.

Ronan felt as though his tiny heart was about to suffer a heart attack.

What the hell?!

Ronan quickly stood up and backed away several meters.

His eyes widened as he stared at the two women standing opposite each other.

Yen firmly held Hesa’s fist.

"You should tell your men to come out."

"Or did you really think you could capture us by yourself?"

Yen asked.

She was stunned.

Hesa had attacked them, yet the forest remained completely silent.

There was no movement.

Either Hesa had people hiding nearby and had ordered them to remain still...

Or she was actually alone.

But that made no sense.

Why would she confront two undead by herself?

Shouldn’t the Destal Kingdom have been aware of their presence?

Shouldn’t there be several King Realm experts waiting nearby?

"I am alone."

"And yes..."

"Only I am enough."

Hesa smirked.

Then she twisted her body.

Ronan’s eyes widened as he watched Yen get blasted into the trees.

CRACK!

One tree after another shattered as Yen tore through them.

An open path hundreds of meters long was carved through the forest.

Hesa smiled as she turned toward Ronan.

His bald head was completely exposed.

"You do have a distinct... taste."Hesa said before she moved.

Her foot sank into the ground before she exploded forward, compressing the air around her.

All it took was a blink as Ronan suddenly found Hesa only a few inches away from him.

Time seemed to slow as a fist was already flying toward his face.

But just as it was about to connect...

Ronan saw another figure approach at an even greater speed.

That back...

Ronan would never forget it.

BANG!

The sound of the impact resembled a gunshot.

Hesa was suddenly lifted into the air by Yen’s hand around her neck.

Then Yen slammed her toward the ground.

The impact caused the surrounding air to heat up violently.

Ronan crossed his arms as the shockwave blasted him backward.

He skidded across the ground for more than fifty meters before finally coming to a stop.
