A beam of black light passed through several corners of the Melendez house from time to time.
The black beam of light was, of course, the work of Devon.
While most people tend to rob a place at night, Devon decided to pull out his own during the day, and there was a good reason for that.
When dealing with a Diamond rank force, even a Gold-rank a tiny mistake could lead to one's death, that was how dangerous each step was.
So, there were several things to consider, especially when it came to stealing a precious item from them.
Unlike the Greenland sect which Devon annihilated and took all their treasures away, a Diamond rank force was entirely different.
To the extent that, even though Devon had gotten very strong, those well-experienced experts could end his journey at any time.
Which was why every step he took, Devon had to think ten steps ahead of people.. It was just like playing chess, any wrong move could end in one's defeat.
The matter of Devon deciding to get the item during the day was because of the security at that time. Comparing the security which would be held during the day and night were on two different levels.
Though the security of the Melendez family during the day was extreme to the core, it still couldn't be compared to the attention which was given during the dark hours.
Except one was very confident in his or her skill or very desperate, no one would be willing to rob during the day.
The Melendez family would even send out four void transformation realm experts to guard the entire family house during the night. Unlike during the day, in which it was only one void transformation realm expert guarding the family.
It also didn't mean that if the family was under attack, those other void transformation realm experts wouldn't rush out.
Though he hadn't seen the ability of a void transformation realm expert, Devon was confident in his ability to escape the eyes of one void transformation realm expert.
But if it was more than one, then he wasn't confident that he wouldn't be caught. So, Devon chooses to invade the Melendez family during the day because of those two reasons.
Earlier on, the beam of light was seen at the branch family area, however, within a few seconds later it had gotten to the family cultivation ground.
The cultivation ground was crowded with people, male and female, from different family branches in the Melendez family were present here. They had come to cultivate, as the cultivation ground was one of the areas with abundant celestial energy.
A heavy wind blew past all of them, the people in the cultivation ground didn't notice any unusual thing about the wind, so they all ignored it and continued with their cultivating.
The cultivation ground was also one of the places which were heavily guarded by the elders as some years ago before from outside would sneak in here under the pretense of being a member because of the celestial energy which was present in the cultivation ground.
So, the elders of the family set up strong experts to guard this place strictly.
If the guards and the instructor in the cultivation ground didn't notice anything unusual about the wind, what could be said about the members who were cultivating.
The heavy wind which had just passed was the black beam of light.
Regardless of which corner of the Melendez house, the beam passed through it was completely unnoticeable to all the members.
To the people of the Melendez family, all they felt was a light breeze.
After pushing himself and breaking his limit, Devon finally achieved something extraordinary. The beam of black light was the product of Devon becoming one with the black sword.
The beam of black light was unnoticeable because of its nature, with the aid of the black sword, Devon had compressed his movement to the maximum point.
With the current strength he had, this could be said to be the highest speed he could reach. To be honest, in terms of speed, even a spirit transformation realm expert won't be able to match him.
When a movement had reached a point, only an afterimage would be seen, however, in Devon's case, even his afterimage couldn't be seen anymore.
Besides those void transformation realm and higher realms experts who had begun comprehending the nature of space, it would be hard for any other team expert to see the true nature of the beam.
However, those experts wouldn't pay any attention to this trivial matter, as they all had important matters to deal with.
The Melendez household was huge, to the extent that even with Devon's speed, he still needed two hours before he could get to the main family house.
It shouldn't have taken him anything less than an hour, but if he had moved without any care whatsoever, then he would have been noticed, so he had to be patient about his movement.
The next phase of Devon's plan was to get the main family house guard clothes.
Devon hid in one of the bushes outside the main family house as he waited for the perfect time to attack the guard who was a few meters away from him without being noticed.
Five minutes passed, and the guard Devon had his eyes set on leaving the place as his shift was over. He walked towards the area Devon was hiding and made a turn to the next corner.
This was the timing Devon had been waiting for, he disappeared from where he was, he then hit his sword against the guard's neck.
The guard's eyes rolled from the shock, he fell down immediately. Devon didn't kill him and only made him unconscious as all the people in the main family house including the guards had a string of their soul lit in the patriarch room.
So anytime someone's from the main family house die, then the patriarch and the other elders would be noticed immediately as the Melendez family was under attack.
The reason was that none of the branch families would dare harm even a hair on any member of the main family. It was one of the forbidden rules of the Melendez family.
Any branch family that harms a member of the main family house, he or she would have their whole family annihilated. That was just how much the main family dominated the entire family.
Even a helper that manage to step inside the main family house was feared and respected by the branch family members.
As long as it was in the main family house, the main family house members couldn't be touched even in the slightest.
However, not everyone seemed to agree to this as the black sword which was in Devon's hand, shook violently, it was as though it couldn't accept what his master had just done.
Devon let go of the black sword as he wanted to change Into the guard cloth. He didn't have time to pay attention to the black sword tantrum.
Just as Devon was about to change into the guard cloth, the black sword attacked. The attack wasn't directed at him, but at the guard who was on the ground.
Devon was quick to notice the black sword movement, he stretched out his hand in a hurried manner and immediately pulled the black sword towards him.
Despite still in Devon's tight grip, the black sword shook in rebellion. It was going against his master order, as it wanted nothing more than to kill the guard.
Devon frowned, after getting to this point and carefully planning things he ahead, he wasn't going to risk something ruining it.
He tapped the black sword back into his storage ring, as this wasn't the right time to deal with the black sword's bloodthirsty nature.
The black sword bloodlust couldn't be blamed, as ever since Devon had begun using it, they had only been a few people he hadn't killed with the black sword.
One was Derek and the other was Melissa apart from those two, no other being had seen the black sword and hadn't felt it, terror.
The black sword was basically a killing machine in Devon's hand, and in this situation, it rebelled as its master didn't do the necessary thing that was needed to do.
Devon had changed into the guard attire completely, he turned to the other side and saw something shocking. What the hell, those were the words that came out of Devon's mouth.
The black sword which Devon had kept inside his storage ring was outside.
That wasn't what made Devon shocked, the shocking thing was that the black sword had itself buried deep inside the guardsman's chest.
While Devon was still in his confused state, a loud alarm rang out from the main family house. The alarm brought Devon out of the zone as he hurriedly pulled the black sword out and left the scene.
