"Do you know who killed him?"
Again, Laila was taken aback. 'Killed?' she thought.
Valerian had died due to the spawn of multiple Grade 4 darkness creatures simultaneously. Everyone knew that. But Malakai had said who, not what, like it had been a person.
"What do you mean, Ninth Vein—?"
Just then, a loud beep cut through the room, followed by the voice of the AI.
"ALERT: Multiple deaths recorded. You are the nearest available Blood Knight in the vicinity. Please get there as soon as possible and neutralize the threat.
Victims: Two Node Formation Evolvers. One Genesis stage Evolver.
Location: West of the Murkroot Hollow.
Mission Grade: Grade 3.
Reward: 1100 pts."
Malakai and Laila's eyes met midair, both serious now.
"Move to the reception. We leave in one minute."
Laila vanished from her spot at a speed Malakai couldn't even comprehend. But he didn't hesitate. He moved to the reception and stood by the door, waiting.
'A mission on the second day, huh…'
