Chapter 3299: The Secret of Breaking Barriers
Hound Butler did not explicitly reveal its ability, but Nawat was no fool and had already guessed the answer.
Yet that very answer made Nawat's eyes widen round.
Merely peering into the imprints within one's heart could even read the thoughts one had previously pondered. Such an ability had reached a simply unimaginable level.
In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Nawat's mind, but in the end, all those chaotic thoughts condensed into deep wariness and... concealed killing intent.
However, the moment that killing intent surfaced, Hound Butler raised its eyes and looked over.
Its eyes were clear, devoid of the murkiness of humans. Yet within that clarity, Nawat saw a trace of mockery.
It seemed to be laughing at how utterly overconfident his thoughts were.
Nawat knew very well that he could not possibly kill Hound Butler. Especially while Hound Butler was within All Things House—even if he attacked with all his strength, he likely could not harm a single hair on Hound Butler's body.
Yet despite knowing this, the murderous urge born of wariness still stirred restlessly within him.
It seemed to be an innate nature, or rather, an instinct engraved deep within his bloodline.
Like insects facing birds—when watched by a natural predator, the bloodline instinct that produced fear, hatred, and helplessness all at once.
Knowing it could not be done, yet his killing intent still stirred.
The last time Nawat had met Hound Butler, he had not known the limits of its ability. Now, he finally understood why so many people unconsciously revealed killing intent whenever Hound Butler was mentioned. Even his own teacher, Naluoduo, had been the same.
Its ability was simply the natural bane of all Mirror Realm lifeforms.
Where there was "countering," there was an "enemy."
