Chapter 223: Clearing The Way
Liam touched Jason’s shoulder and Jason felt an invigorating feeling pass through his body as Liam’s mana washed over him. Jason turned to Liam curiously and Liam just shrugged.
"It’s not much, but that should boost your stats by about thirty percent for the next hour. Okay, so what now?"
Jason didn’t really need the stat boost, but he was grateful for it. Especially since he was running low on mana from the massive distance he had covered using the previous [King’s Substitute].
[Predator’s Gaze] has been activated.
Jason’s eyes bled to red as he activated this skill, and he watched as the area in front of him brightened up immediately. The hallway was lined with various broken vases and splintered wood, and there were dead bodies littering the floor. Jason narrowed his eyes to focus his [Predator’s Gaze] even more, and he gained a smile when he saw red silhouettes standing behind the wall at the end of the hallway. They were waiting for Jason to get closer so they could attack, and Jason couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement as he began to head into the darkness.
Jason activated his [Black Fog] and the entire hallway suddenly filled up with a dark smoke that prevented anyone from seeing anything at all! Liam immediately began to take steps back in surprise when he saw the fog, but Jason told him to stay still. Jason sent a message to two of his subordinates and he watched as they appeared from his Alternate dimension and walked into the real world. The first person was Rosa Santos, one of the twins who tried to kill Jason earlier, and the second person was the Dragonborn imperial guard that Jason had killed while rescuing Riyala. Jason immediately commanded both of them to go and clear out the various superhumans hiding in the shadows.
Rosa charged forward first! Her ability [Schrödinger] was already active so it didn’t matter how powerful the superhumans in front of her were or how much they had been supported by Katarina! Her base abilities immediately surged to match their own, and she turned the corner of the hallway in a perfect spin that positioned her right beside the first superhuman!
Slash!
Her blade tore through the superhuman’s neck and he let out a strangled cry as he stumbled back in pain and fell to the ground!
