Six days after Vicente's group arrived in Spiritbell, they finally took action against the Fallen Angels!
After discovering how "weakened" the sect was due to the movement of several 4th-stage specialists toward the Bone Mountains, the group found their opportunity to act.
Once Vicente could sufficiently investigate the enemy headquarters and find out where and how they would infiltrate the place, the group decided to act on the afternoon of their sixth day in Spiritbell!
It was almost always better to act at night because it was easier to hide, because of the ambient light, and because there was less movement of possible witnesses.
But each case had its own peculiarities. Vicente wanted to make Malik suffer before he died, so he had to act when most of the man's loved ones were gathered.
After a few days of studying the Fallen Angels sect, he discovered that the most important time for Malik's family was lunchtime when all of his wives and some of his children usually went to his residence.
How did Vicente find this out? He infiltrated the sect three times in the last few days and observed his targets closely, noting some of the family's more common habits and any problems he might encounter.
As a result, he adjusted his plans with Layla and Casey and finally began infiltrating the sect this afternoon!
After taking advantage of the gaps in the Fallen Angels' defenses, the three of them made their way to the hill where the sect's elders' homes were located and reached their targets without any problems.
Vicente was very good at getting in and out of protected places. Even when he was only a High-level Mage, he could enter places protected by people and devices of the highest level. But now that he had advanced, he found it even easier to deal with 4th-grade defense items and 4th-stage experts.
Since the sect's headquarters hadn't been attacked for a long time, some of the men weren't as aware of certain weaknesses, which made the group's journey to Malik's residence even easier.
Once there, Vicente used Layla to lure more of Malik's family to the place, sending her to deliver false messages to those outside the estate at the time, while Casey manipulated the minds of some of the estate's servants and guards.
Neither Casey nor Layla would be directly involved in the attack Vicente was planning, but they would be crucial to his ability to get the maximum number of casualties there and then escape the area safely.
...
Inside Malik's mansion, the man rose from his bed with some difficulty and was soon dressed in nice, comfortable clothes.
As he walked slowly toward the dining and party room of his residence, he had a smiling look on his face as one of his guards helped him walk.
His wives would do the job if he let them, but he preferred to have one of his servants do it.
As he made his way to the part of his residence where he could smell the pleasant aroma of food, he soon stopped in front of the entrance to the room to enjoy the view of his dining room full of his wives and children.
Malik was a man who liked his house full of women and children. He wasn't in the best of health, but as soon as he recovered, he wanted more children and women in his house!
Seeing all his wives there, his three daughters, and two of his sons, he couldn't help but feel happy to have almost his entire family there.
"Father..." Said one of the two young men sitting next to his favorite sisters, two twins who were on the same level at the start of the 3rd stage.
Malik's eldest daughter, a beautiful blonde with full breasts and wide hips, approached her father and hugged him, having not seen her old man for some time.
"Lena... I thought you'd left your old man." He said into her ear as he left the support of his subordinate to lean on his eldest daughter.
Lena smiled as she felt one of her father's hands move down her waist to one of her buttocks. "You know that's not the case. I was focused on a sect mission, and I had to cultivate for a while to recover from some battle wounds." She justified herself. "But I'm back now. As soon as you recover, we'll resume our training, haha."
A mischievous look appeared in Malik's eyes, but he soon sat down in one of the chairs at the large table full of dishes and plenty of food for his family.
"Let's eat. I'm starving." He said as he took a glass of wine and smiled at the sight of the girls and boys there.
Lena sat down next to her father and asked. "I heard that Dax died. Is that true?"
He looked into her green eyes and nodded. "Yes, some Mages from the Dark Path eliminated him for us... It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to do it, but still, it's better for him to be dead than alive. Because of that, the sect elders are now moving to take advantage of the current weakness of the Bone Mountains."
Lena looked at her mother and said. "That's good. We've had many battles with Dax's people over the years. Now we can concentrate on other things."
Lena's mother, a woman very similar to her daughter but with some more pronounced traits of maturity, smiled at her, not bothered by the death of her ex-boyfriend.
She had betrayed Dax with Malik, so there was no reason for her to mourn the man's death. She didn't exactly want Dax dead, but the man's long negative history against her family made his death a positive thing even for her.
While the people around the table chatted in cheerful tones, taking advantage of the return of some of them who had received messages that their father would announce something important at the end of lunch, a man in black suddenly appeared in the doorway.
When Vicente appeared, Malik was the first to see this strange person, frowning without understanding what it was all about.
Vicente did not hesitate to use his special ability to show himself to Malik. In a single instant, several metallic objects emerged from his body and then attacked the vital points of everyone in the room, except Malik.
Malik saw this as he tried to get up, quickly turning pale with fear as he saw a man suddenly appear in front of him, weapons blazing in the air towards his family members.
Unfortunately for him, Vicente was too fast for even the strongest and in their best condition in the area. It wouldn't be Malik, wounded and weakened, who could stop what was about to happen!
