Overgeared

Chapter 268

But something was looking at him from the shadows.

Noe.

Twitch, twitch. Twitch, twitch.

His small, chubby butt shook from side to side. The short paws were completely pressed against the floor. The best demonic beast of hell was moving secretly to catch his prey.

‘This is a scientific, beautiful and perfectly designed hunting posture! Nyang!’

“…”

Crow was unable to perceive Noe’s presence in the darkness. He was a good assassin, but it wasn’t at the level of sensing the best demonic beast of hell.

Suuk.

Crow climbed towards the landing of the third floor. The third floor was where Isabel’s room was located.

‘Soon.’

Crow imagined it. Stabbing Grid with his dagger. It was at that moment.

“Kyong!”

Noe jumped towards Crow. The sharp and small fangs gleamed in the darkness.

“…!”

Crow was confused. He never thought the day would come when he was surprised by a cat.

‘I didn’t notice a cat following me?’

It was the biggest shame and embarrassment he’d experienced since he was born. But it was only for a moment. He quickly regained his composure. Crow was a professional. He had survived many crises and assassinated 89 humans. In the process, he realized something. It was that he must remain calm under any circumstances. Crow’s experience meant he didn’t make a fuss about the surprise appearance of a cat.

Paang!

Crow blocked the cat’s paw swiping at him with his dagger. Then Crow hesitated as he was about to counterattack.

Snap.

He couldn’t properly move his wrist after the blow.

‘Why is this cat so strong?’

This wasn’t a normal cat. Crow noticed Noe’s peculiarities. There were small horns on the forehead and short wings on the back. A high class demonic beast.

‘How is this demonic beast here?’

This place was the Vatican. The Vatican was filled with divine power. Monsters couldn’t come near the Vatican. A monster that took one step inside the Vatican would die from the divine power.

That was the problem. Currently, Noe couldn’t exercise his skills properly.

‘It’s serious.’

Noe’s master had ordered. Be prepared for any enemy while Master was concentrating. If an enemy invades, don’t hesitate to hurry to Grid and tell him the news. But the problem was…

‘I unconsciously moved.’

Noe recognized himself as a rational being, but reality was different. Noe was still young and faithful to his instincts. When a dark man showed up and moved quietly through the darkness, he instinctively attacked. It was unintentionally done and the current situation was the result.

Noe was affected. He couldn’t gather any strength in his body. The divine power of the Rebecca Church’s Vatican was terrible. But how could the best demonic beast of hell lose to a human?

“Nyaang!”

Noe once again swung his paws.
