Age of Adepts

chapter-36
Once Greem was gone, all that was left was a pile of dirt and three charred bodies. On top of a tilted Killer Tree, not far from the scene, a Scavenger Crow with blood red eyes let out a soft caw, and flapped its wings, flying up into the foggy air.
But, right at this moment, a silky smooth, snow-like arm suddenly stretched out, tightly grabbing the Scavenger Crow before it could get too far. Without allowing this stupid creature to struggle, the tiny palm casually clenched, and so one of the demons who had the title of ‘Scavenger of Swamp’ was crushed into meat paste, and small bloody chunks flew in all directions.
The curvy, seductive body of Mary appeared on the top branch of the Killer Tree.
She gracefully stood there, staring off into the direction Greem had left. A small smile appeared on her face. Then, as suddenly as she had appeared, she disappeared.
Although Greem thought himself clever, he had underestimated just how bizarre and unpredictable magic spells could be. There was nowhere in this Magic Swamp where one could hide their activities. The Scavenger Crows, which could be found everywhere, were, in fact, Hawkeye’s spies, secretly spying on the activities of every single Apprentice for him.In the dead of night, when Apprentice Adepts were hiding in their rooms, performing all kinds of strange magical experiments, they would never think that, in the night sky outside the Tower, there was a pair of blood red eyes spying on them.
With regards to this flying spy, only those who possessed sharp and sensitive Spiritual Senses could notice the difference.
If this spy had not been killed, Greem’s trick would have been related back to Hawkeye within half an hour. Therefore, although Hawkeye had the lowest combat strength among the Advanced Adepts, his ability to obtaining information was, no doubt, the highest.
Hence, the only way any Apprentice could keep secrets safe was to make sure that these ‘spies’, who could be found everywhere, were removed from the equation.
