Assassination System

Beaded sweats filled Jamie's forehead as he fought with Chrissy. He could see every disciple around him, dying one after another but he couldn't do anything to help them. Jamie had the feeling that once he turned lax, Chrissy would immediately disect him into two.

"Elders! Help me out here! Kill this bitch!" Jamie violently cursed and the Elders behind him who protected the other disciples from the collateral damage of Jamie and Chrissy's battle, turned towards him and pointed their palms.

"Star Breaking Pulse!"

"Air Combustion!"

"Sword of Astaroth!"

Numerous Heaven Grade Artifacts displayed their brilliance as Jamie ducked his body, evading the trajectory of the attacks while revealing Chrissy's figure in return.

Bang!

A deafening boom reverberated, a blood arrow exploded from Chrissy's mouth as she flew towards the distance and stuck a fence. Jamie regained his balance and stared at her unmoving figure for a moment before turning towards the other crazed disciples in resentment.

"Senior Brother, here! Help us!"

"Senior Brother, there's three of us here! Come quick! They're breaching our defenses!"

Pleading voices echoed out and Jamie rushed towards the source of these voices, repelling the crazed disciples, he shouted, "Go behind the Elders! Take an Artifact from them and defend yourself!" The disciples solemnly followed his instructions while Jamie paved the way for them.

Jamie didn't kill those crazed disciples, he deflected their bodies away so that the sane disciples could pass through and reach the protected area behind the Elders. Sweeping his gaze over the battlefield, Jamie clenched his fists when he saw the destruction.

Scorched earth, destroyed tents and corpses of the slaughered disciples littered the ground. With reddened eyes, Patriarch Warren stared at Jamie before saying, "Those disciples are no longer human. I don't know how those bastards dd it but they managed to infect their mind with devilish energy."

HIs voice was bleak and his countenance seemed to age for decades.

"There's only one way for you to set them free..."

Patriarch's Warren's voice was filled with a foreboding sensation that sent shivers down Jamie's soul. Clenching his fists until his nails dug deep in his palms, he turned at him and said, "Tell me, Patriarch. What should I do to set them free?"

A ruthless light flashed through Patriarch Warren's eyes, "Finish them off, kill them all without mercy..." His cold words struck Jamie as the latter held his hesitation and strengthened his resolve. Darting his gaze at a nearby disciple, his sword flashed and beheaded the former.

His movements didn't stop there, in each step he took, a corpse of his fellow disciple fell as everyone who saw his actions paled in fright and terror.

"No, why is Senior Brother killing them?!"

"Isn't he supposed to save our fellow disciples?!"

"No, Senior Brother, I'm begging you, please! Please don't kill my companion!"

Whether it may be men, women or children, Jamie's sword decisively cut down those infected with the devilish energy that manipulated their minds. His fellow disciples behind him howled in sorrow as they saw Jamie cutting down their beloved ones right in front of their eyes.

Three figures observed this scene with clear disgust shining within their eyes. Natalie told them that the reason why the Luzon Clan sacrificed her was related to the Luzon Clan's core cultivation method. It was similar to the Blessing of the Lightning God, albeit more restricted.

While the three of them could absorb the essence and cultivation of everyone. The Luzon Clan could only absorb those that possessed the same bloodline as them. Though it sounded inefficient, once the Luzon Clan acquired a vast number of female slaves which they could impregnate, their cultivation bases exponentially surged, since they could absorb the essence of the unborn children within the slaves wombs that possessed the same bloodline as them.

Natalie was a member of the Luzon Clan but due to her low potential, her status eventually degraded into a slave and was repeatedly violated before Juliet was born. Fortunately, Juliet's father valued Natalie's origins and he let them be free, promising that he would return and absorb Juliet once everything was settled in the clan.

This was one of the reasons why Natalie absolutely abhorred the Luzon Clan and wanted nothing than to see their annihilation. Suppressing the killing intent in her heart. Natalie glanced at Dan and Grace before strengthening her resolve and face her true origins.

Veins bulged throughout Jamie's body as he absorbed the essence of his fellow disciples, temporarily increasing his cultivation base. Unbeknownst to everyone, Jamie not only absorbed their cultivation, but also the devilish energy whom they thought to have disappeared after the infected disciples death.

"Jamie! That's enough! Come back here!" Patriarch Warren howled and the light of a Defensive Artifact shone and covered Jamie's body. Preventing him from taking a single step further.

"What's going on with Senior Brother, why is he acting strange..." A female disciple mumbled in anxiety. The Elders' eyes widened in shock when they realized that jet-black energy intermittently flickered around him.

"Shit! He's also infected, quick! Suppress and purifiy him with the light of the Artifacts!" Patriarch Warren crazily howled as each and every disciple activated their Artifacts. May it be, Mortal, Earth or even Heaven Grade. All Artifacts descended and forced Jamie onto the ground.

"Kuuu~" A queer cry came out of Jamie's throat as he struggled under the absolute suppression of Heaven Grade Artifacts.

"It's working! The devilish energy is decreasing!" An Elder exclaimed while increasing the output of the Artifact in his hands.

The negative energies that surrounded Jamie's body diminished in each time the light from the Artifacts, struck him. However, before it could fully disappear, a cold voice rang out behind them followed by the sound of penetrated flesh.

"As if I would let you do that..." Natalie's voice pierced through the hearts of everyone along with her dagger that mercilessly stabbed on the heart of a nearby Elder. Turning around, she made a horizontal slash in the air before her, slitting the throats of four disciples in one attack.

Dan didn't slack either, his quick movements and certain kill strikes beheaded the heads of those that met his blade, while Grace stared at them from a distance.

"W-w-who are you guys?! Why are you..."

A disciple emerged from his stupor and cried out. Before he could even trigger his Defensive Artifact, Dan's Jagdkommando stabbed right into his heart, silencing him for eternity.

"What's going on there in the back?! Is someone attacking us?!" Patriarch Warren momentarily stopped his suppression at Jamie and darted his gaze at the backlines of the Luzon Clan. There, he saw the figures of Dan and Natalie enacting a massacre on his beloved disciples.

"So it was you...It was you bastards that did this to us!" Patriarch Warren screamed in hatred and anger, "Fiver Elders and core disciples, keep on purifying Jamie while those that are free shall come with me and kill these two!" He dished out his orders, despite the immense pressure that he was under, Patriarch Warren still managed to keep his calm.

With several elders and most of the remaining Inner Disciples behind him, Patriarch Warren approached Dan's location with the light of Defensive and Offensive Artifacts enveloping their bodies.

Natalie stopped her massacre and stood beside Dan with a defensive stance. Dan stared at the approaching entourage with a calm and composed smile on his face, "So we're finally nearing the climax?" He turned towards Natalie and said.

"Dear, you go and target the Elders, I'll take care of these greenhorn disciples by myself, remember don't kill the Patriarch who made you suffer several years ago...I will personally make him taste how it feels like to die while living..."

HIs ominous words targeted Natalie and the latter nodded her head with a solemn expression on her face. Unsheathing their weapons, both sides faced each other as the light of Artifacts dispelled the darkness.
