"Hmmmm. It is quite an interesting spell. To think it is not using the surrounding Mana but some other sort of energy, quite mysterious."
A man with a slightly wrinkled face, exuded a rugged, battle-hardened aura. With a trained, muscular physique, his rough features showcase the hardships of war. His deep-set, piercing hazel eyes reveal a mix of confidence, carelessness, and at the same time, ruthlessness. He had brownish-black hair and was dressed in a coat that seemed to be made out of rich material.
He moved his hand around as he touched the Portal from different angles, trying to understand this spell. He only came here for revenge, who knew he would find something so interesting?
If he could somehow get his hands on this ability, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
"Anyways, did they say anything? I am sure they know how to use this thing."
The man questioned.
However, the Great Sage shook his head,
"They refuse to answer any question no matter how I torture them. They are quite tight-lipped. It is as if they were trained to withstand all this pain.
They all passed out because of pain, but none of them said anything.
I don't understand why they are so loyal to their Assassin Hall."
"It's not loyalty, it is foolishness.
Don't they know?
They are just putting ExceedoGenesis in an even more difficult situation.
With what we have right now, we can only go after the Assassin Hall, the members of the Clan can get out without much problems, however, once the rule set by the Assassin Hall is broken, even the Order wouldn't jump in this situation.
Then, they would be allowed to do anything they want.
"Heh, they don't even know that their excessive show of loyalty is what is going to destroy their clan."
Honestly, the man only wanted to avenge the death of his nephew, however, now that he has seen this strange magic of ExceedoGenesis, as long as he doesn't get his hands on this Magic, he wouldn't let that Clan go.
"Alright, wake all of them up and interrogate them again. This time, record the entire interrogation process and send the recording to the Central Assassin Hall, once their connection to ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall is revealed, our chained hands would be released and we would have the power to do whatever they want."
A cruel smile appeared on the man's face, he then turned towards a beautiful woman who was inside the room as well and questioned.
"Sister, your revenge is going to be much larger than we initially thought, not only will we get the person who dared to assassinate my nephew, but we will also get rid of that entire clan just so they could realize how it feels when you lose a loved one."
Hearing his words, the woman commented with a cold look on her face.
"That's correct. Those bastards dared to kill my lovely child, they need to pay."
ExceedoGenesis wasn't the first Assassin Hall they investigated. There were 4 more suspects before them, they used the same trick and gave all of them a named mission, however, none of them showed the techniques that could possibly kill Atticus in that heavily guarded situation, except ExceedoGenesis.
After a three-month-long search, they finally found the culprits, now, they can deliver the punishment.
"Don't worry, I will make sure they pay."
On the other hand, the Great Sage threw a bucket of water on the members of the Shadow Legion's faces in order to wake them up.
The 5 of them woke up, but just as the Great Sage was about to ask a question, his expression changed.
He quickly turned towards the strongest person in this room, he noticed that the man was already looking at him.
"Did you feel it as well?" The man questioned.
He nodded, then suddenly,
"Members of Shadow of Silence. Listen well, the enemies are here. Prepare yourself for the Battle."
The man, the Leader of Shadow of Silence, and Atticus's uncle shouted as he imbued Mana into his voice, making it echo throughout the inn.
The man, the Great Sage, and the woman quickly got into a defensive position, ready for the battle as well.
…
A few minutes ago.
"Alright, since it is War that they want,
A war it shall be."
Nux spoke with a cold look on his face.
His wives were involved in this matter, there was no way he would take this lightly. He quickly formed a portal and arrived farthest away from the Inn possible.
Then, he 'deleted' his presence and walked towards the Inn.
A white Sphere appeared in his hand, then once he had sneaked into the inn, he put his Mana into the Sphere and it quickly dispersed into the air. This time, the area that was marked covered the entire Inn.
Nux then activated his sense, combining it with *Essence* gave him a ridiculously detailed information.
Soon, the entire area's map, the people, their cultivation level, everything was revealed.
And Nux realized it,
"Amaya was right, it was a trap."
No one inside this room was a random cultivator, they were all in the same faction and all of them were Emperors, or above.
"But she is wrong about one thing,
It is not the Edge Clan that has made the move, it is the Shadow of Silence." Nux realized as he observed the badge on the clothes most of these men were wearing.
"Well, it is not like it changes our strategy."
Nux then shrugged,
There were 100 cultivators inside the inn, 1 Saint, 2 Semi Saints, 17 Great Sages, 28 Sages, and 52 Emperors, there were some King Stage Cultivators as well, but Nux ignored their presence.
'Alright, commence the attack.'
He ordered. Then suddenly, 60 portals formed around the Inn, 60 Assassins came out, and in just one wave,
60, 52 Emperors, and 8 Sages out of the initial 100 cultivators, were killed.
"Members of Shadow of Silence. Listen well, the enemies are here. Prepare yourself for the Battle."
The leader of Shadow of Silence, a Saint Stage Cultivator, who sensed what happened imbued his voice with Mana and shouted. The voice echoed throughout the inn and every member of the Assassin Hall heard it.
"They have already killed half of your brethren, they have an ability that allows them to teleport wherever they wish, so watch your back. These cowards, don't let them catch you by surprise."
The leader ordered.
The War,
It had begun.
