Chapter 492 Fein, Thief
Just like that, Fein cleaned up the mess that he caused, fixed the damage to the cabinet, and readied himself for another round of killing. For the second step of the operation, Fein didn't think that it would be harder.
With a series of experiences of killing S-ranks... Fein realized that his strength was already unmatched in his realm. The S-rank was reduced to A-rank for him. The offensive capability of his high-level swordsmanship gave him strong power that could even completely crush the realm above SS rank.
Of course, Fein didn't know what would be the result if he fights one. He didn't have any experience. It was too early to conclude. After all, he couldn't just kill the SS-rank with one attack just like the S-ranks. No, he has to perform a sneak attack for his sword attack to take out enemies in the SS-rank realm.
If he really fought an SS-rank head-on. He has to consider what abilities the SS rank has and how strong his defense was. So the best way to kill an SS-rank with his current strength is to take advantage of his strong offensive power, and that is to use assassination. He has to make sure that the enemy would be unable to react and use his ability.
Just like that, Fein resumed his operation. But suddenly, an old idea came into his mind. In his perception, he focused his senses on the location where the library of the castle was at.
The library was located near the room of the king of the Revenant country. Currently, the king was sleeping soundly with his two concubines beside him. Then Fein saw the princes and princesses in their respective rooms doing their own things.
'Well, it's time to become a bandit?' With this thought. Fein teleported into the library through his perception.
The library was twenty meters in length and width, which was quite spacious. Fein saw at least forty large bookshelves that contain various books. The majority of them were about degu energy theory, science, beast characteristics, fighting techniques, and other precious knowledge.
With a wave of his hand, the books on the shelves floated in the air simultaneously, then they all disappeared out of thin air. Now, the bookshelves were completely empty and were swept clean by him.
'This feels good.' Fein has a satisfied smile on his face.
The next moment, Fein appeared in the garden. In the garden, he witnessed a variety of spiritual herbs, rare flowers, medicinal materials, and spiritual plants. A blue lotus with golden light, a blood-red flower covered in black flames, and other bizarre plant life.
'These things are good for pills? With this, If I have some needs of materials in the future, then I might be able to benefit.' Fein couldn't help but lick his lips.
Just like that, all the plants, flowers, and extraordinary materials from the garden vanished. Fein didn't space anything, even the seeds and the entire soil were put into his storage space.
After all, he thinks that to be able to grow the plants; it was reasonable that the soil and vegetation were extraordinary. He just needs to study the plants, then he can try to plant on his own in the future. With the soil in hand, the requirement would become easier.
The king who was sleeping in the room didn't know that a thief and a killer have already taken an interest in his things. It was bound that the royal family would have sleepless nights in the new few days.
Fein didn't feel guilty at all. After all, the East would become the South's enemy soon. He just took the interest in advance.
Twenty minutes passed just like that. Fein took out all the valuable items inside the palace. Even the carpet inlaid with gold, statues with diamonds, and other artworks weren't spared.
Finally, after Fein finished cleaning the entire castle, the two S-ranks finally found an abnormality when they went out of the kitchen.
"Hey, Derke... Something is wrong. Where are the statues? And the other objects from before?" Lionel asked.
Lionel is an S-rank degu user that serves the royal family. Because of this, the king appointed him a high position and gave him privileges. Derke, also an S-rank, was the same as Lionel. They were trusted by the king and have good strength in the S-rank realm.
"Yeah, that's really weird. If I remember it right, there's a status in the left corner near the table earlier, right?" Derke with a pondering expression. "The king also didn't mention to us about any renovation. Could it be a thief broke into the castle?"
"How is that even possible? If there's a thief, we would have been alerted with our perception. And a thief can't steal all the items at such a fast speed." Lionel responded with disbelief in his tone.
"Not if the thief has a good concealment ability that has bypassed our perception and has an artifact to store the items in a large storage space? Haven't you heard of Jackson? Theirs a similar incident that he has done, right?" Lionel suggested.
"Could it be?? Jackson infiltrated this castle? To store a lot of large things, the storage space should be an S-rank artifact. But such a storage space... there's only eight on the continent."
"No, Jackson is already dead. Lionel, it seems we have to fight with our full strength this time. Quick! The culprit should still be here or haven't gone far. If the king knew what happened, this responsibility will fall to us. We have to find the damn thief as soon as possible!"
As Lionel and Derke were about to fly, the surrounding space solidified and kept them in place.
'Damn it! The enemy is here!' Derke transformed into a dark red humanoid creature with blood-red wings. The wings elongated and ruptured the solidified space.
Lionel immediately reacted as he felt that could move again. He raise his hand and an oblong yellow flight with sharp edges appeared on the top of it. "Thief, show yourself."
In the dark, Fein was quite amazed at the quick response of the two. Two be able to break his space containment in such a short time. 'Well, it seems they are quite capable.'
