Chapter-193

The hill, illuminated by the moon's ethereal glow, served as a stark backdrop to this high-stakes confrontation. Sin's mind raced as he contemplated their next moves. It was clear that the Chief Knight had information about Lita's whereabouts, but how much of it could be trusted? Sin's doubts festered, and he couldn't afford to take anything at face value.

As the Chief Knight continued to speak, Sin's focus remained unwavering. He was determined to extract every ounce of information that could lead them to Lita's rescue. His eyes, locked onto the Chief Knight, hid the storm of thoughts and emotions raging within him. This was a critical juncture in their mission, and the decisions made in the coming moments would shape their destiny.

Julia, ever perceptive, sensed the tension in the air and the hidden agenda behind the Chief Knight's words. She exchanged a silent glance with Sin, their unspoken communication a testament to their shared determination. Whatever challenges lay ahead, they were resolved to face them head-on.

Sin's sharp gaze remained fixed on the Chief Knight, his mind racing as he processed the startling information revealed by his system. To his astonishment, the Chief Knight's level was a staggering 110, a revelation that sent shockwaves through Sin's consciousness. It was an unprecedented level of power, far surpassing anything he had encountered before. This enigmatic figure stood as a formidable force, possibly the strongest individual Sin had ever crossed paths with in his life after Alex and the rabbit.

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Sin's shoulders, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt. The vast disparity in levels between him and the Chief Knight posed a daunting challenge. It was a reminder that they were venturing into uncharted territory, confronting an adversary whose strength was beyond their wildest expectations.

However, this crucial piece of information remained unbeknownst to Sia and Fatty, who, driven by their unwavering determination and concern for Lita, acted without full comprehension of the perilous circumstances. Their hearts filled with resolve, they charged toward the group surrounding Lita, demanding her immediate release.

Sia and Fatty's actions were a testament to their loyalty and valor. The urgency of rescuing Lita from the clutches of the Chief Knight and Count Murmur fueled their determination, overshadowing any fears or doubts that might have arisen.

Sin's heart sank as he realized he was too late to stop Sia and Fatty's impulsive charge. A mixture of concern and frustration welled up within him. He knew that confronting the Chief Knight directly was a perilous gamble, one that could have dire consequences. His hesitation stemmed from a deeply ingrained fear, a knowledge imparted by his mother—a knowledge that set the Chief Knight apart as an enigmatic and formidable adversary.

The truth was, Sin had heard tales from his mother, tales that had haunted his thoughts for days. These stories painted a chilling picture of individuals whose levels exceeded the fabled threshold of 100. According to his mother, they were an entirely different breed, a breed whose power transcended the boundaries of ordinary comprehension.

The difference between level 99 and level 100, his mother had once told him, was akin to the chasm between the Earth and the heavens themselves. It was a gap that separated mortals from the divine, ordinary beings from demi-god-like entities. The significance of this disparity had been etched into Sin's consciousness, a stark reminder of the immense challenges that awaited anyone who dared to tread in the realm of such formidable adversaries.

As he watched Sia and Fatty approach the Chief Knight, Sin couldn't help but feel a gnawing sense of vulnerability. He wished he could share the full extent of his concerns with his companions, but time was of the essence, and they were already in motion. The moon hung overhead, its pale light casting long shadows that mirrored the uncertainty of the situation.

Julia, standing beside Sin, exchanged a knowing glance with him. She too understood the gravity of the circumstances, though her expressions remained composed and resolute. Her experience had taught her to approach situations like these with caution and strategy, and she was keenly aware of the Chief Knight's formidable level.

In the face of this daunting challenge, Sin's thoughts raced. He was determined to find a way to rescue Lita, but he also knew that recklessness could lead to their downfall. The delicate balance between bravery and prudence was a tightrope he needed to navigate carefully.

Amidst the escalating tension on the moonlit hill, Sin knew he had to act swiftly. He fumbled for a flare in his pouch, fingers trembling with urgency. In one fluid motion, he struck it against a hard surface, igniting the night with a brilliant burst of red. The flare soared high into the heavens, casting a fiery beacon against the canvas of the night sky. It was a signal, a desperate call for assistance that they hoped would reach their comrades.

As the flare's crimson glow painted the surroundings, Sin turned to Julia with a look of determination in his eyes. Time was of the essence, and they couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. He instructed Julia not to move, assuring her that he would utilize his teleportation abilities to transport everyone to safety.

His initial plan had been simple: locate Lita and teleport her to safety as soon as he spotted her. But now, circumstances had grown more complicated due to the impulsive actions of Sia and Fatty. Sin's priorities had shifted, and he found himself facing the daunting task of rescuing not only Lita but also his recklessly brave companions.

With a deep breath and a steadying of his resolve, Sin prepared to harness the full extent of his teleportation powers. He had honed this skill over hours of training, mastering the delicate art of spatial manipulation. His confidence stemmed from his unwavering belief in his abilities; he was convinced that he could execute this plan flawlessly, even under the looming threat of the Chief Knight.
