Chapter 287: The price of underestimating your opponent(I)
Lorius was an old Wave King, but even if he were in his prime, he would not have been able to break free of Bloodless #1’s seal of his consciousness, and much less fight back against the Blood Duke’s hypnosis. Yet the duo saw the man open his eyes which were full of darkness.
There was shock and dread in the eyes of the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1, not at Lorius, but at the power that had just taken control of the old man’s body.
"Stop him!"
The Blood Duke shouted at him, and Bloodless #1 attempted to reactivate the seal he had on Lorius’ mind and energy, but it was too late.
"¡BOOM!"
All the Astral Wave inside the old man’s body flew toward his brain, blasting it to pieces along with the rest of his head. It was a genuinely gruesome scene that made Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 frown.
Despite not having attained an answer from Lorius, the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 knew that only one power in the empire had those capabilities.
"The Organization."
Bloodless #1’s voice was cold as he uttered those two words. Despite being one of the strongest powerhouses of one of the mighties organizations in the Godslayer Humankind Empire, he could not hide the flash of dread in his heart.
It would not be wrong to call The Organization the shadow of the empire since they arose at the same time. The ten Dark Kings were powerhouses capable of leveling entire Sectors, and the one that ruled above all others was so mysterious that no one even knew his name or title, but everybody knew they feared him.
An assassin group with ties to The Organization could mean many things, but it was likely that someone in the Purist Path had already contacted them.
"What is the stance of the Bloodless Force now?"
