Martis dark aura rapidly increases with each second. Finally, it stabilizes only upon reaching the early Rank 7 Foundation Realm.
He continuously stares at them. He was like a fearless beast who didn't fear anyone.
"Martis, what happened?" A voice sounded behind from Martis.
The clan head of the Vishwa clam doesn't understand why he quickly ran there When they were searching for the unknown monster.
Martis throws up the piece of cloth in his father's direction and says," Where is my little sister?
"Oh, Manvi, she was with Mayank. They decided to go to another city to buy some new clothes…"
However, suddenly his eyes fell on the clothes which were in his hands. Martis's father soon recognized it.
"Is this Manvi's clothes? Where did you get it from?" Martis's father worriedly asked.
Martis ignored his father's words, his eyes were constantly searching for a person in the Lakhan group.
Finally, Martis spotted him.
"Kritos, I told you, I will kill you if something happens to my Manvi. Where is she?" In the rage, he furiously raised his voice.
Martis heart was beating repeatedly, he was continuously rejecting the bad premonition in his heart.
Kritos remains silent for a split second and replies," Martis, I don't know anything about her. Since the challenger league battle, I haven't seen her."
As Kritos finished his sentence, Lakhan quickly said," There are many torn pieces of clothes lying there. I suspect that the unknown monster may have killed or abducted them into the forest."
Martis connected all the dots, but he didn't believe someone could kill her without noticing him. He had imprinted a connotation to Manvi heart, which will trigger at only a life-death moment and let him know the current position of Manvi.
So, Martis never believed that Kritos could kill her without noticing him.
However, Martis sensed that something is wrong when he doesn't find a drop of blood on the passage.
Moreover, not a single monster exists in the passage. Even if it escaped from here, it would have left its presence.
Martis strolled to another side to check the other clothes. He picks it up and realizes the owner of this piece of cloth through the aroma.
"Mayank!"
His heartbeat again began thumping rapidly, all things point out the death of his sister.
Martis closed his dark back eyes for a fraction of a second and restrained his uncontrollable emotions.
Suddenly, Martis looked at the steady figure of Kritos. According to him, only Kritos could tell the real truth about the incident.
With soul detonation skill, he could learn the exact information about the incident. It was the only option to clearly know the truth.
Without thinking about the consequence of his action, Martis abruptly leaps toward the Kritos.
Thump!
Before Martis could reach Kritos, a hand collided with his hand.
"Martis, What are you doing? You tried to attack Kritos in front of me. Don't you overestimate yourself too much?" Lakhan fiercely asserted.
Martis already crossed the line when he decided to attack his grandson in front of him. So, he doesn't restrain himself from teaching him some lessons.
"Don't interfere with my matters. If not, I don't mind exterminating the whole Dwivedi Clan. Move your hand!" Martis fiercely said.
Martis never wished to create a problem in this shaky city. He just wanted to quietly cultivate here, until he attained the cultivation of his previous birth.
In this life, he just craved a comfortable life.
Thus, he developed an affection for his little sister from a small age.
Now, if she died, what is the meaning of this peaceful life?
"Really? Let me see how you exterminate my clan with me here." Lakhan snorted.
He glanced at the clan head of the Vishwa clan and understood that he would not intervene in the fight.
Lakhan chuckled and realized his motive. He just wants to see the full power of their most precious genius.
Just Lakhan was about to launch an attack, a voice sounded behind his back.
"Grandfather, let me battle with him." Sanju just a few words, but his words carry a strength to back it up.
Lakhan nodded his head and stepped back. He pulls Kritos with himself.
Kritos was mind in chaos. He doesn't understand this sudden development. Their plan was almost perfect, but still, it created suspicion in Martis mind.
Kritos had a bad hunch about this. Martis wasn't someone who would overestimate himself.
All of a sudden, the clan head of the Vishwa Clan walked up and said," Lakhan, I don't understand why Martis suddenly attacked Kritos, but he must have a reason. Besides, It is related to my granddaughter. So, we have to properly investigate this matter."
He clearly meant that they don't believe in Kritos' words.
"What do you mean? Kritos evidently stated that a monster resided here. What happens to your granddaughter is clearly not related to him. Even a genius of our clan is killed by that monster," Lakhan harshly replied.
"Really? Then where is that monster? I believe he just fabricated a story to divert us. He must have secretly killed Sam and my granddaughter." The clan head of the Vishwa clan asserted. He was just trying to stir an emotion into Samuel's mind.
He never really cared about his useless granddaughter. He was just seizing a chance to weaken the Dwivedi Clan.
"Mark, Don't talk nonsense. Is everyone crazy to believe that peak apprentice Realm cultivator killed a Rank 4 Foundation Ream, Mayank? Think before saying something old bone." Lakhan angrily replied.
Lakhan already understands his intention behind all this.
Suddenly, without warning them anything, Martis jumped towards Sanju.
A fantom of Crimson lion appears behind Martis. Its golden mane was radiating all over the passage.
Still, it was quite abnormal, Martis has a different aura than his soul beast. He has a dark aura in his body rather than a golden or crimson aura.
Sanju dodged the upcoming attack and released a frosted bird from his hand. It flew and struck at the back of Martis. However, it just shatters without doing damage to his body.
'His body has become tougher than two years ago.' Sanju thought to himself.
Kritos was watching the battle from afar. He knows the exact strength of Martis. In front of him, Sanju was just like an ant.
It was a battle between Rank 5 Foundation Realm vs Rank 7 Foundation Realm.
Moreover, Martis was in harmony state, his all stats were in equilibrium.
What does it mean?
It meant Martis doesn't reveal his exact cultivation, but Kritos believed that Martis current strength was not much away from his actual strength.
As the battle continued, Sanju wasn't much match for Martis. Many injuries could be seen in Sanju's body.
Due to some unknown reason, Sanju doesn't release his soul beast.
Kritos previously thought that with his Divine soul beast, Sanju had some chance to win the battle. However, upon asking some questions with the System. Kritos understands that a Divine Soul beast couldn't come out from a person without enough toughness of the person's body.
Moreover, Sanju's divine soul beast is incomplete. His original soul beast was actually mutated to have a string of its ancestor consciousness. He was a kind of fake Divine soul beast. Yet, with some more mutation, it could complete into a real divine soul beast.
Kritos got all this information through the System.
Boom!!
Suddenly, Sanju's body landed on the wall. Martis still didn't stop and tried to punch him in Sanju's head.
"Enough!"
Lakhan let out. Sanju already lost the fight with Martis. So, it was meaningless to continue the fight.
However, Martis doesn't heed Lakhan's order and continues to attack Sanju.
Bang!!!
Suddenly, In a rage, Lakhan attacked the moving body of Martis.
Boom!
Martis's body collapses with the other wall of the passage and he lets out a voice in pain.
Lakhan was a peak Foundation Realm warrior. His direct attack was enough to brutally injure Martis.
Unexpectedly, after Martis collided with the wall, a crack appeared on one side of the wall.
Kerr!!!! Keri!!!
More and more cracks appear on the wall, and shortly the passage wall begins to tremble.
"Leave!"
Lakhan and the clan head of the Augusta clan quickly announced.
The passage was going to collapse and all of them forgot about the previous fight.
Moreover, according to them, Martis only attack Kritos due to his unbridled emotion. So, nobody thought it was going to stir a big problem.
Both three groups forgot about the fight and quickly started to evacuate from the passage.
Still, some people were angry due to the interference of the Dwivedi Clan head.
One of them was the Vishwa clan head, Vishwa Mark.
Nonetheless, now their topmost priority is to hastily escape from the passage.
