"I don't detect any intruders, so your request to raise an alarm has been canceled!" Dark Rose's static voice rang.
Jacob's expression turned somewhat ugly, "You couldn't detect them, but that doesn't mean I can't. If you don't want to provide backup, that's fine by me; just tell me if there are intruders, and I can kill them, right? Furthermore, what will happen then since it would mean that I was right and your security was breached? So, this means it's your fault, and I would be the victim. Will I get compensation?"
"If Dark Viscount's proposition is correct, then you can indeed take drastic actions without restraint and will be compensated accordingly since the Dark City failed to provide you with a safe environment, and it will be a breach of trust. The Dark City will investigate this matter until the offenders pay for their infraction!" Dark Rose statically stated.
"Then I'm relieved. Observe then!" Jacob coldly sneered as he was very dissatisfied with this turn of events.
Because if he were in the dark pod and without Autarch, he would've been a sitting duck for these guys to kill. Moreover, without the changes in his soul, he might never have been able to feel the presence of these guys, not to mention the important role of Eyes of Judge.
After this, he will never be at ease, even in the dark city's most secure place.
Nonetheless, he first needed to deal with these guys and then find out why they were targeting him. This matter was related to his safety, and if these guys somehow made a connection with him and the path of legend, then he wouldn't be safe even within the Dark City.
Once this news got out, even the Dark Duke would do everything to capture him and get the key of legend and wouldn't stop until he acquired it. That's why Jacob was tense and feeling uneasy.
'Since this is the unique plains, these guys shouldn't be in the ranks of three steps of legend. But since they can come this far without getting noticed by Dark Rose and even dare to try breaching the dark room, this means they are confident and come prepared. I'll just put two under my hex and kill everyone else without giving them a chance to use anything.
'This is no battle arena. They are foolish to think they can mess with me. Not to mention, they are all in this narrow corridor. Let's see if they dodge my bullets!'
Jacob's eyes flashed with killing intent as he took his potion at the very end of the room, placed the double-barrel rifle on the ground, and positioned it right at the door.
However, he was still not done. He took a small glass bottle filled with purple liquid and opened its lid. He then used a spell, 'Whammy Poison Mist!'
The next moment, crimson mana suddenly poured into the glass bottle before thick crimson mist began to rise within the room. This was one of the magic spells he learned to use, the Whammy Poison.
The Whammy Poison magic was to combine curse mana with poison, which could create different types of curse poisons. The more powerful a poison, the more potent the Whammy Poison.
Jacob had gathered many poisonous herbs and hunted poisonous dark beasts and toxic zombies in the Dead Faction Territory, so have different varieties of powerful poisons.
Although his hex magic was still at epic level, he could still use these poisons to effect unique ranks. But it required time, and some races even have some resistance towards poisons, so unless he has unique rank hex mana, the potency of Whammy Spell will be lacking compared to the poisons.
Nonetheless, they were effective and could hinder those guys in many ways, while Jacob would remain hidden since this poison had no effect on him. He will use this poison mist to hinder these sights and perceptions while he will use the Eyes of Judge and kill them all!
After he was done making preparations to 'greet' the guests, he coldly commanded, "Since they want to enter, I should make it easy for them. Dark Rose, open the Dark Room's door and close the secret entry passage!"
Just as his voice trailed off, he vanished without a trace with stealth.
At this moment, the closed door of the dark room suddenly slid open, and thick crimson mist gushed into the narrow passage.
A startling cry rang the next moment, "No good, retreat!"
Yet, before they could react, the two people with two white beads evolving over their heads, making them invisible, at the very front, were holding a strange device against the door, suddenly beginning to fall down, losing their consciousness!
But it wasn't the end; in the next second, two green beams suddenly materialized and bolted within the passage!
"Ahhhhh…"
"It's an ambush!" Painful and panicking cries reverberated with the passage as three of the invaders were already turned into meat mesh because of the atomic bullets.
Another two bullets were fired, and before the sonic boom could even ring, two more bodies blasted into smithereens!
"Damn it! Use defensive magic and scrolls and quickly leave this passage, or we'll all die. This guy has a powerful projectile weapon!" This furious voice belonged to none other than Dark Marquis Jethro, who was somewhere in the center of this group, and a bloody hole was opened in his arm.
He barely missed the atomic bullet because it had already passed through two others, or he would've been deader than dead.
He or no one else had ever expected to meet such an ambush while they were the actual ambushers.
Furthermore, Jacob's means, especially the weapon he was using, greatly shocked everyone as he had already taken down seven of their men within five seconds, including their leader, who was one of two who were in charge of unlocking the door. This was half of their forces.
But how could Jacob give them a chance to retaliate or flee?
He pulled the trigger again, which again landed on two more. He was using the eyes of judge so they couldn't hide from him no matter what, and the narrow corridor gave Jacob a huge advantage to pick them all up quickly.
If they had entered the dark room, they might've had a chance to use their defensive measures, yet they decided to head back, which was not a good choice since Jacob's bullets were far faster than theirs.
Dark Marquis Jethro finally felt despair when he saw only five of them remained; the other party was too fast and didn't give them any chance to use spells or magic scrolls.
He roared in panic, revealing himself, "I'm Dark Marquis Jethro! Dark Rose, I was forced against my will. Please stop…"
Before he could even finish his words, two atomic bullets directly landed on his chest, and he was blasted into myriad pieces.
'Hmph!' Jacob merely scoffed as he killed the rest of the three. He would never give these guys a chance to retreat. But it still comes as a little shock to him that a Dark Marquis was involved in this.
But he didn't have time to mull over it right now because he knew Dark Rose had already called off the guards, and they would be here soon. So, he quickly approached those guys and began to loot!
