Feeling something in his chest, Caleb looked back and saw nothing. But he was a Sky Sovereign. As soon as he circulated his mana through his eyes, he noticed the disturbance caused by Vicente's ability.
"This..." He opened his mouth as blood spurted with his saliva.
He tried to activate his pentagrams to act against Vicente, but his own subordinate attacked him and slit his throat with a sword.
Caleb hadn't expected this and was surprised by a cut six centimeters deep in his throat.
This time, he couldn't say anything as he felt his surroundings darken, not believing he would die in his own training area like this.
That was a dishonorable way for someone like him to die!
But he had no choice in the matter!
As he pulled his spear out of Caleb's body, Vicente saw the man fall face down to the ground, already unconscious.
Caleb wasn't dead yet, but in no more than 30 seconds, this man would be beyond what 4th-stage doctors could do to save him.
'Tsk! It may look easy, but it cost me 60% of my powers!' Vicente sighed as he looked at the heavily bleeding body while Torne kept an eye on the surroundings.
Vicente was at the absolute peak of the 3rd stage, but to deal a fatal blow to a Sky Sovereign, he would have to use up all of his power and still rely on the enemy not to be on guard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately, he had Torne's help and didn't have to use all of his strength. Otherwise, his night's work would have ended with Caleb's death.
'Time to go, master.' Torne warned Vicente before the young man made Caleb's guard return to his post and act as if nothing had happened.
He turned invisible again and headed for Chase's property, which was two blocks away from Caleb's residence.
Vicente had already identified this place before he came to act against Caleb, so when he finished his business with this man, he quickly moved on to his second target.
...
While Vicente went to Chase's property, Layla and Casey had already taken action against Dax's son and wife.
Unlike Vicente, they didn't want to kill their targets but to kidnap them.
It would be much easier for them to reach their targets and take them away from the sect than to kill them. Not only that but killing those people might cause even more turmoil in the sect and make it dangerous for them to escape.
After breaking into Dax's estate, they quickly caught up with his wife and son without encountering any difficulties.
There were Sovereigns there to protect the estate and Dax's two family members. However, with Casey's mental manipulation and Layla's speed, it didn't take them long to reach their targets.
Casey easily manipulated their minds to make them walk out of the building with them as if it was just another regular action on their part.
So he and Layla followed Dax's wife and son while acting as if they were the servants of these people.
The sect still seemed to be in the dark about their invasion and Vicente's actions, so the two left this place without hesitation, thinking that he hadn't acted yet or hadn't been discovered.
However, the situation at Bone Mountain headquarters was about to change!
...
As Vicente entered Chase's building and was about to reach his destination, distress signals began to appear on that building and elsewhere in that large headquarters.
'It looks like we've been spotted.' Vicente said to Torne, imagining that Bone Mountains had already learned of Caleb's death.
'Time to pick up the pace, master.' Torne said. 'This man is weaker than the other, so just destroy him quickly. We don't need to catch him off guard as we did with the other one.'
Feeling Torne's mana flow through his body, Vincent no longer moved cautiously. He quickly picked up speed as his pentagrams appeared around him.
He was still two corridors away from Chase, but with his powers and Torne's support, he focused on the enemy and brought the metals around that person under his control.
Chase was in his office when he jumped out of his chair, alarmed by the emergency alarm that had just gone off.
'Has something happened?' He worried as he looked out of his window.
He did so for only a second but soon shifted his focus as he felt the mana in his surroundings disturbed by an external force.
"Who's there?" He asked aloud as many metallic objects around him floated in the air and changed shape.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat happened very quickly, and soon, several of these items were flying at him in the form of small blades.
Chase was inside his residence, so he had no armor on his body now.
That didn't help him at all. 4th-grade armor wouldn't be under Vicente's control and would protect him. Since he had nothing like that with him, the blades that could damage even 4th-
grade artifacts attacked him mercilessly.
He raised his defenses, but his strength was not his defense. As an attack-oriented warrior, he was much better at attacking targets.
But without a target in the first moment of this fight, he could only move to dodge the blades coming at him.
'Shit! These blades are really annoying!' He thought as he felt cuts on his arms and legs.
But as he moved towards the exit of his office, he suddenly felt it difficult to move, as if his body was strangely out of his control.
That caused him to miss a step and then be hit by half a dozen weapons controlled by Vicente, all of which hit his vital points!
"Aaaaaagh!" He screamed in pain as he tried his best to move and resist these injuries.
However, being injured and having the metals in his body manipulated by Vicente, he didn't resist when the young Fuller finally entered the office and used his mental ability.
Knocked unconscious in front of Vicente, this man would soon fall into the darkness of death as he was physically and mentally destroyed!
Thus ended Vicente's night of killing and began his escape from this now-alert headquarters.
