Chapter 999: Trapping a Killer! (3)
The hidden chamber inside the concealment barrier trembled.
The ghostly voice had echoed as if whispered by death itself—and before Constant Baron-5 or Baron-9 could react, the barrier rippled like disturbed water.
A cloaked figure had already stepped through.
It was Jacob.
He stood silently at the edge of their formation, relaxed, his aura nonexistent. There was no pressure, and yet Constant Baron-9 screamed and stumbled backward, her face behind the hood pale as bone. "H-how did he breach the Concealment Array?! That was a legendary-grade veil!"
"How?!" Constant Baron-5 barked. Earth energy coiled around his arms like bands of ancient stone, trembling slightly as if even the planet beneath them feared the intruder.
A flick of red light pulsed behind them.
The clone of Constant Baron-1 stepped forward, blood flowing in lines across its pale skin like living veins forming strange tattoos. "You might your excellency be." His voice was calm, resonant with a hint of unease, "How about letting us go?"
They had already witnessed what happened to Constant Baron-101, and given how easily Jacob found them and breached their array, they knew this person was even more powerful.
A thought surfaced in their mind, which made them even more horrified.
’A Quasi-Myth!’
Only this existence can manhandle a legendary king like Jacob did. Although they were confused about how Constant Baron-0 was able to seek help from such a figure, they knew it wasn’t time to mull over it.
