Chapter 754: Reel in the Net (4)
However, he was completely immersed in it; in fact, he was pretending to be wild without any care. But the truth was, he was already aware of the hidden danger, the true masterminds hidden at the edge of this barrier, all because of Immortika.
But they were far more patient, and despite him slaughtering almost two hundred of these assassins, they still didn\'t make any move. Although he was losing his patience, he continued to butcher these blood bags and kept collecting them without leaving any behind.
After all, he wasn\'t sure what would happen once the real fight began, and he was secretly absorbing the scattered blood to replenish his energy. It was quite ironic that they wanted him to exhaust himself, but if he had blood, it was nigh impossible.
At this moment, just as Jacob was about to stab another assassin, he sensed something amiss and quickly dodged. The very next moment, \'Boom!\'
The assassin suddenly exploded, and a powerful explosion filled with destructive magic force occurred!
Although this explosion wasn\'t at the level of his own, it was still akin to the full might of an atomic bullet. Not to mention, Jacob instantly sensed the potent corrosion properties in the dark gray smock—it was poisonous!
Jacob\'s eyes narrowed as he wasn\'t expecting this kind of trick, and just as he was wondering if the others were also suicide bombers, those assassins no longer tried to strong-arm him or use any spell or weapon. When they were within ten-meter range, they started to explode one after another, creating terrifying blasts and releasing thick poisonous fog.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
It was like someone had just released hundreds of fireworks at once, and the entire Yin Sky Island shook as the glacier ice around it started to crack and fall into the ocean.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
But the barrier surrounding the island seemed extremely powerful as it was keeping everything inside, and thick dark gray fog started to fill the dome
Soon, almost all the assassins had blown themselves up without caring about their associates, and those who were on the verge of death died while contributing to the same cause.
Soon, the thick dark gray fog was not only filled with potent poison, but also a strong stench of blood, and the entire island floor was dyed with gore and fragments of flesh.
"I have to admit, Lord Leader really knows how to catch others off guard. Even I won\'t be able to survive such a surprise attack." A flirtatious voice of a woman rang under a cloaked petite figure.
A dark golden barrier surrounded these instigators, and they were completely untouched by the explosions and their aftereffects.
The cloaked figure sitting cross-legged above the runic circle suddenly chuckled as the runic circle under him stopped rotating at this moment and released an ethereal glow.
"I don\'t know about you, Miss 70,469, but I\'m confident that our target would be able to survive, or I\'d have called you all in vain if it was actually this simple to take him down." The Leader stated in an amiable voice as if it was a trifling matter.
At this moment, he rose from his position and flashed out of the runic circle. He looked towards Asher and respectfully gestured towards the glowing ethereal circle with his hand, saying, "Sir Prince, the connection is now complete. You can start with your part. But please don\'t waste any time. You only have one chance, and the moment you start, you will have only 20 seconds to trap his soul.
"Or once the time is up, I don\'t need to tell you the consequences. But I\'m pretty sure, we all the preparations, this task should be a breeze for you." The Leader ambiguously implied. "Hmph, who do you think I am?" Asher snorted coldly as his figure flashed and then appeared on top of the surface. The ethereal light started to envelop him, and the next moment, the runic circle started to expand at extreme speed!
"It finally begins." An aged voice muttered among the group.
"Wait, did you sense this? The poison fog seemed to be beaming thin and flowing towards the center of the island!" A ghostly voice suddenly exclaimed as two gray flames flared violently behind his cloak.
"Hmm?" The Leader and others finally turned their attention away from Asher as they noticed this peculiarity.
"It\'s indeed, as you said, Mr. 65,100, and it seems to be gathering towards our target\'s last visual location. It seemed he still had some tricks up his sleeve." The Leader impassively replied, and the calm in his voice still didn\'t deter him even a little bit. His attention was again on the growing runic circle.
A dark golden lightning flashed past his eyes, \'No matter what you do, you can\'t escape today!\'
However, after a few moments, the calm in the Leader\'s eyes finally shook ever so slightly because a dark gray mist had suddenly turned into a massive cyclone. Even stranger, the dark gray cyclone contained a faint crimson glow.
But what happened next left everyone astonished. The faint crimson glow suddenly started to pulse and gathered towards the lower center of the cyclone, turning the lower half of the cyclone bright crimson.
However, it was far from over because when all the strange glowing crimson color gathered together, it started to slowly drop, little by little, as if something down there were devouring it endlessly.
At this moment, Mr. 65,100 suddenly exclaimed with disbelief, "T-that... that\'s Blood Vitality! How can he control so much blood vitality and even separate it from the poison fog?! No, even if he can do it all, how is he absorbing so much!? Did he want to commit suicide? What kind of Dark Being is he!?"
His sudden revelation startled everyone, as they all knew what Blood Vitality was. Even the Leader was astounded. They all looked towards the Leader for an answer. After all, what they were witnessing was truly out of the scope of their knowledge.
The Leader\'s eyes narrowed for the first time, and he felt something amiss as he replied with uncertainty, "I don\'t know how or what he\'s doing, but I\'m pretty sure that he\'s not a Dark Being!"
