Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 232: The Thing Is...

Socrates was looking at Jamal.

There were millions of people, yet the blind man knew who spoke and where the person was standing.

"Are you really blind?" Jamal asked.

"I am." Socrates was really blind. Pablo had seen the pale white eyes.

"Then you trained yourself well." Jamal praised in the end and went silent.

Socrates bowed his head and turned his head away from the high Duke.

He was again looking straight ahead.

But the main question was being left out so Pablo asked it himself.

"Why do you say that we are overreacting?"

"I may be a blind old man, Pablo. But I also have an Ego."

"I see. Can it help us here?" Pablo asked.

"Yes. It can. You all will face no mind traps as long as I am here. The only enemies you all will face will be the real tangible people." Socrates stated.

"Do you speak truly?" Rower asked. He was also a high duke. The same one who arranged materials for the infrared glasses.

"Yes, sir Rower." Socrates again knew who spoke.

Rower nodded. "Then so be it. Keep moving, Pablo. The mind traps won’t affect us and if they did then I’ll kill this man myself."

"Surely." Socrates was confident.

Pablo shrugged. "Alright. Keep moving, soldiers. Only keep an eye on the enemies now."

Pablo started walking.

Andrezj and Cupid were floating in front of him and this time, Andrezj was cooperating with him. He was also moving his head left and right, hoping to find her dearest.

All of their speed remained the same as they weren’t in haste. They were ready to die but they wouldn’t willingly jump to their deaths.

While walking, Pablo looked at the forth high duke.

He couldn’t see the face but he knew where the fourth high duke was.

"I am already familiar with sir Rower, Jamal and Boulder. I don’t know about you." He said.

"I am Xavier and I am strong. That’s all you need to know." The high duke gave a straight answer.

"Sure."

Pablo only wanted to know the name anyway.

He turned his head to the front again and focused entirely on the mission.

’Describe the surroundings, Angel.’

’You are walking on a wide path. The path is not well made. It’s not like roads. There are no trees around. This is like an abandoned place.’ Cupid explained.

Pablo heard her.

"Is this an abandoned place? The backside of the city. Does it have no doors or exit to leave the city?" Pablo asked the high dukes.

"We already left the city." Rower answered. "Glory city is a small city. As only esteemed royals live here. The city ends after his highness’ castle. The moment we entered the mist, we left the city."

"So the city ends after the castle and that’s why you all didn’t bother to make roads and anything here. I get it."

"You can say it like that. We don’t pay attention to this part. There is a big river just a little far with lethal creatures inside it. That’s why no one dares to enter from the back of the city, that’s why we were sure that no enemies would come from the back of our city." Rower revealed.

"Yeah. I have seen the map. The river dried up, the creatures died because of the mist and now we are here. After all this is over, construct a tall thick wall as a border to save the city from behind." Pablo suggested.

"Will do." Rower accepted the suggestion.

Pablo stopped talking.

Cupid and Andrezj kept telling him things as they all walked with vigilance.

"If we keep walking straight for four hundred meters and turn left, we will reach the backside of the village. We will enter the village from behind. And you all must haven’t noticed but I have nullified the first mind trap." Socrates said.

"Good work. And we haven’t been attacked yet. Which means two things. First, the people behind the mist don’t know about our attack today or second, the people are confident in their mind traps that they think we will all die before reaching the village." Pablo shared some insights.

"Let’s hope it’s the first one." Boulder said.

"Don’t worry. No mind traps will affect us as long as I am here. Just worry about fighting. If the enemies know we are coming from this way then there will be troops waiting for us at the backside of the village." Socrates assured everyone.

"Keep it up then." Pablo only said that.

Everyone kept walking, staying on the lookout for any signs of the enemy.

They all had weapons on them. All the weapons were black, made out of demonite and they were on fire.

Boulder had a big mace with spikes coming out of it.

Rower had a long, flexible hunter with sharp edges. One strike could cut through bodies.

Xavier had a round shield. A semi circle one. It was attached to his right forearm and Xavier had done such a magic on it that it would always come back to him if he threw it at his enemies even if they were very far.

Jamal also had a weapon on him and that was the coolest weapon of the lot. According to some people only.

A pair of curved swords were on Jamal’s back and they were designed in an eye striking way.

Their blades were high and low from some places and that’s what made everyone like them.

Socrates also had a weapon on him and it was just a spear. He was using it to take support for walking and he would fight with that as well.

In a sense, everyone had a weapon with them. Everyone except Pablo.

"Where is your weapon?" Jamal asked.

"Inside my bracelet." Pablo replied.

"Shouldn’t you be carrying that? You are walking in the front, you’ll be the first one to be attacked."

"Thanks for your concern but I will take it out when I see fit." Pablo made it clear.

Jamal shook his head. He would leave Pablo on his own.

They carried on their walk at the same speed.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Andrezj shouted so Pablo shouted.

"What is it?" Boulder asked.

The soldiers stopped walking and they were ready for fighting.

’Why to stop? Ask him, Angel.’

Cupid nodded and asked Andrezj.

Andrezj answered as well and Pablo relayed that to everyone.

"In front of us, is a horde of skeletons."

"That’s all?" Jamal wasn’t impressed. "You stopped because of some skeletons. Some leader you are."

"No. The thing is…" Pablo didn’t take his eyes off from the front and revealed a concerning matter.

"They are moving."
