[Location- West Ridge Mountain]
West Ridge Mountain is one of the explored new landforms on earth. Vast green and blue forest surrounding the mountains with occasional windstorms above it. It can be called a disastrous land that no ordinary superhumans could enter. It falls under the territory of the Silver family and is about 30Km away from the mansion.
Jin followed the trails of the red aura user to West Ridge Mountain, but the trace suddenly disappeared within the forest surrounding the mountain.
"Try your best to hide. But you can not escape my grasp after trying to hurt my son. I will destroy everything if I have to..."
"Aura burst..."
Jin landed in front of the forest and touched the ground. Then he sends out a massive amount of Aura into the ground.
[Booom] Vibrant Green Aura emerged from the ground, turning the forest into ashes within mere seconds. The land around the mountain was burning in Green flames, and Jin's eyes were scanning the surroundings for the assassin's energy.
[Crackle] An arc of red energy emerged from underground and flew in the sky at a blinding speed, "Damn you!!! Jin." The assassin screamed in anger.
[Woosh] [Baaaam] Jin blinked. Grabbing the assassin's ankle, he slammed him to the burning ground. Rubbles and smoke scattered everywhere, forming a small crater.
"Argggg!!!" The assassin coughed out blood. Four of his ribcage bones were shattered.
"I will fight you to death..."
[Crackle] The assassin yelled.
He quickly jumped up and dashed toward Jin, summoning a transparent red blade sparking with thunder.
"Come," Jin stood his ground, "Hummff." He shifted slightly, avoiding the attack. Then he grabbed the assassin's face and slammed him to the ground.
[Baaam] "Arrrggg!!!" Painful screams of the 9th-level assassin echoed throughout the mountain range.
"So, Super Speed is your original superpower, and you even trained in thunder Aura to increase your speed even further... It's impressive. But, in front of my eyes... It's like a child's play."
"This is just the beginning..."
"The night is still young... Scream and feel the pain. Pay for your sins..."
Under the moonlight, Jin's looked down on the enemy under his feet. His shining green eyes looked like that of a wild beast who had been waiting to hunt its prey. Then he began to unleash his anger on him. That's the difference between a 9th level and a 10th level superhuman.
"Arggg!!!"
The assassin continued to scream in agony.
"Where did I go wrong? This much gap in power... We are just 1 level apart..."
"I never should have accepted the contract. That bastard... Arrrgggg..."
The assassin thought that he could outrun anyone as long as he mastered the red thunder Aura. He tried to break through the next stage but failed, and his Aura evolved. But right now, he was facing the harsh reality. He thought that there might be a chance of escaping had he mastered his Super Speed to its peak instead of trying to learn thunder Aura Skills.
[Location: Silver Mansion]
[Garden Area]
"Clear up before sunrise..."
"Take her to the prison... I will investigate her personally..."
Trisa, covered in blood, walked out of the garden and ordered one of Jaxon's trusted guards to clear up the blood and the dead bodies of the traitors. She found the one who used the sonic boom on Ace. It wasn't a single one but three of them. Two committed suicide by chewing on poison fixed in their teeth. And one of them survived. It turns out that she was ready to spill the beans in exchange for her life.
[Prison Area]
Jaxon and Felicity, in the meantime, subdued all the lunatics. There were about twenty of them. One of them has the superpower to dig a hole on any surface. They sneaked in by digging a tunnel and were planning to use the digging power to open a hole inside Rax's chamber. But, due to the sealing, they failed. That was when they started to hit it with weapons, trying to break the iron chains around the door.
"You take them to the other prison. I gotta check on with Rax," Jaxon ordered Felicity.
Felicity followed the order. Since the lunatics were bound in Aura chains, she dragged them like a mopping rag, "Don't make a single sound or else I will cut off... that..." She looked toward the lunatics with a wicked smile.
[Inside the mansion]
Since Ace was yelling for food, the guards thought it suspicious because the dinner was supposed to arrive a long time ago. So one of the guards stomped inside the kitchen in anger.
"Are you trying to get us... killed?"
Before the guard, a dead body was lying in a pool of blood with a dagger struck in his chest. Beside the dead body, there was a human skeleton. It looked like the other body melted, only leaving the bones and clothes.
"Emergency..."
The guard activated the alarm and rushed out of the kitchen.
"Ace..."
Jaxon, Trisa, and Felicity looked toward the mansion.
"Go, I will take care of them," Felicity yelled with a feared expression.
[Ace's room]
"Freaking hell..."
"What the heck is going on in this house? Can't eat breakfast in peace, can't rest in peace, and now they won't even give me dinner. Instead, raising the alarm..."
"Don't tell me more assassins came after me... Hahahaha..."
"I thought I escaped from my past hellhole... Only to land in another one..."
Ace said as he curled up under his blanket with his eyes on the door.
[Bang] "Ace!!!" Trisa and Jaxon rushed in together with a worried expression and sighed a breath of relief, seeing Ace alright.
[Prison Area]
"We don't need the failures..."
Felicity slaughtered the lunatics in a single attack without giving them a chance to scream and walked toward the sealed door while licking the blood from her lips. Her eyes were shining blue under the moonlight.
[Rumble] [Rumble] Felicity tore open the iron seal with her teeth and opened the door.
"Kukukuku..."
"I knew it you would eventually come..."
"The Unbreakable Lady, gracing me with her visit. Slurrrpp... I can see it in your eyes... I can see the struggles..."
Two red eyes were glowing in the dark room.
Felicity summoned a fistful of blue Aura, illuminating the room. Inside the room was an iron maiden standing with two open-eye sockets. Countless Aura chains were binding it, preventing anyone from opening it and the one inside from getting out.
