Chapter 0298: Black Dragon

The palace seemed even more serene in the deep night.

Su Lu approached the palace wall and ran vertically straight up it.

Enhanced by the augmentation of [Agile Steps LV4], he landed without a sound, his figure hidden in the darkness as he continued deeper along the routes he had scouted in daylight.

After passing through a door, the patrols of guards increased significantly. He must have reached the true center of the palace.

Su Lu silently smirked as a shadow clone emerged and ventured forth to investigate.

The clone inherited his [Shadow Warrior] abilities, proficient in concealment and utilising the darkness. If it was unable to escape, it could directly dematerialize.

"The princess's bedroom should be over here."

The shadow clone approached a passageway, noticing an attendant standing guard at the door and realizing the trouble ahead.

"Some places, I must attack forcefully!"

His actual self and the shadow clone stealthily approached in the shadowy surroundings.
