The Evolution of the Weakest Ghoul

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The hunt begins

More than ten figures flew through the air, all advancing in Ronan’s direction.

Their crimson eyes were filled with coldness as they burst forward with terrifying speed.

Their lord had already declared the hunt for Ronan.

Now, it was time for them to fulfill that order.

And anyone who obstructed them would be destroyed.

---

As for the Ghoul Lord they were hunting...

At this moment, Ronan was frustrated.

It had been nearly three hours, yet he hadn’t seen a single ghoul.

He couldn’t help but wonder...

Were they hiding from him?

Damn it!

Aren’t ghouls supposed to be brainless undead?

Who gave them intelligence?

They’re all supposed to be stupid zombies!

Come to your daddy...

Sigh.

Ronan glanced to his side.

There, he could see Hesa and Yen barely holding on.

Now Ronan knew they really couldn’t hold out much longer.

They were reaching their limits.

But Ronan wanted to at least get his Trait to Level 10 so it could undergo its first evolution.

And he was already this close to reaching the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

He wanted to know what the next "ritual" would be.

After all, he was currently the weakest among the three.

"Okay, how about we—"

"Watch out, Master!"

Just then, Yen appeared in front of Ronan, raising her forearm.

BANG!

A powerful shockwave of wind erupted as Yen’s long black hair was blown backward.

She had blocked the hand of a creature with crimson eyes and a malicious expression.

The vampires...

Had arrived.

"Fucking hell..."

Ronan felt goosebumps spread across his body as he sensed multiple Sovereign Realm auras.

One vampire after another appeared.

"Tch..."

"You are actually protecting a Ghoul Lord?"

The leading male vampire couldn’t help but ask in amusement.

"Master?... what the hell is going on here?"

Another vampire laughed, revealing his fangs as he looked at the three of them.

Yen pushed the vampire who had attacked her backward and stood protectively beside Ronan.

Meanwhile, Hesa’s expression changed as she immediately assumed a battle stance.

A dozen vampires stood before them.

Six were at the One-Star Sovereign Realm, while the others were even stronger.

This was dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

And Ronan was the one in the most danger.

He knew about his Locked Title.

He also knew about the tempting reward the Abyss offered to any undead capable of killing him.

Could they have sensed his title?

Fuck.

He was screwed.

"What do you want?"

Yen asked, her eyes wary.

Although she and Hesa were vampires, they knew almost nothing about the Abyss or how vampires interacted with one another.

But none of that mattered right now.

What mattered was why these vampires had attacked Ronan.

"Glad you asked."

"You see..."

A vampire took a step.

In an instant, he appeared beside Yen.

His voice tickled her ear.

His dark cloak spread behind him like the wings of a bat, and his body seemed almost weightless.

"Your master has caught our lord’s attention."

"And he is required by our lord."

The moment his voice faded, Yen threw a punch.

But the vampire had already disappeared.

He had returned to his original position, a playful smile on his handsome, pale face.

"A vampire with a Ghoul Lord as his master..."

"I’ve never seen anything like it before."

"No wonder our lord is interested in you."

The leading vampire spoke coldly.

His eyes contained nothing but indifference as his Three-Star Sovereign Realm aura erupted.

Ronan immediately took several steps backward in fright.

Hey, hey...

Can we all just chill?

Don’t be interested in me now.

I’m just a little ghoul, okay?

Ronan’s throat felt dry.

So they weren’t here because of his Locked Title...

They were here because their lord was interested in him?

Or could it be both?

Wait...

Was she interested in Ronan because he was a Locked?

Ah...

"Hesa."

"Take him and run to the gateway."

"I’ll meet you there."

Just then, Yen’s eyes turned cold as she spoke.

"Heh..."

"Who are you to command me?"

Hesa didn’t move.

She merely stared at Yen with annoyance.

"I won’t repeat myself."

Yen’s voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable killing intent behind it.

Her aura suddenly changed.

Both Hesa and Ronan were stunned by the transformation.

Even the vampires raised their eyebrows.

After all... Yen was an assassin.

Unlike Hesa, who was practically a battle maniac, Yen had been trained to kill using the most efficient methods possible.

She had been killing since she was young.

She was just as cold-blooded as these veteran vampires.

Hesa gritted her teeth and frowned.

But then she remembered what Ronan had revealed to them several days ago.

If Ronan died...

They would die as well.

So unless she wanted to die right now without getting her revenge on this white-ass monkey...

She had no choice but to make sure he stayed alive.

"Fine."

Hesa finally spoke as she approached Ronan.

The next thing Ronan knew, his feet were off the ground.

The environment blurred around him.

Intense wind slapped against his face as Hesa carried him away, disappearing into the distance.

The vampires watched as Hesa escaped with Ronan.

Yet their expressions remained calm.

None of them seemed to be in a hurry.

Instead, they turned their attention back to Yen with amused smiles.

This was entertaining.

Besides, they were certain neither Hesa nor Ronan would escape.

Their master’s orders had been clear.

Ronan was to be captured alive.

As for Hesa and Yen...

Their master hadn’t specified what should be done with them.

So...

Why not have a little fun? And they could start with Yen.

"It seems you’re quite confident in yourself."

The leading vampire chuckled as the others slowly surrounded her.

Yen’s eyes darted around as she carefully memorized the position of every vampire.

"Now that you’ve piqued our interest..."

"Show us what you can do...."

" Hybrid."

The leader deliberately emphasized the final word.

Yen’s expression changed.

More than five One-Star Sovereign vampires simultaneously attacked.

Yen took a deep breath.

She had four abilities but only two of them were useful at this time.

Those two were...

Phantom Feet...and...Clone Doll.

Most likely, Clone Doll would save her life here as it was essentially an extra life.

However, because her mastery was still low, she only had one Clone Doll which meant she still had to be extremely careful.

As for Phantom Feet...,It had already reached Level 8 and it had become significantly stronger.

A purple hue enveloped Yen’s body.

Her figure blurred.

Then...

She disappeared from the vampires’ midst.
