"Damn it!" Gritting his teeth, the man threw the unconscious body of the young girl inside the cell.
Thud
Looking at the fallen body, the man's gaze turned towards his hand, which had a burn mark, making him want to kill her that instant. "Damn you, brat!"
"Isn't it a blaster shot?" One of his comrades calmly came forward, looking at his wound.
"Yes, that brat was much tougher than I thought," the man replied, glancing at the figure inside the cell while rubbing his hand.
"But aren't you an Adept ranked? Could have just beaten her up?" the man inquired.
"Tch, if not for the Mayor's orders to bring this shit in one piece, I would have smashed her body into pieces," gritting his teeth, the man let out his frustration.
"So the Mayor is behind all this, hm?" Placing his hand on his chin, the man thought about something, confusing the other guy and prompting him to inquire, "Hey, weren't you also there? Why are you acting like you don't know?"
"Oh, he was also there?" The man pointed towards himself, his words and gesture not matching.
"You—SKCHLT!"
"Kuugghhh!?" Suddenly feeling a force from behind and then intense pain in his chest, the man turned his gaze downward to look at the area around his chest hollow, as if the flesh in that place was torn through.
"Cough!.... THUD." Instantly, blood dripping from his mouth, the man fell to the ground, his eyes becoming devoid of life.
"Woah, how do you do it without moving?" Being wrapped around Ryuk's arm, the woman saw how everything happened instantaneously.
It took 3 seconds to arrive here and 1 second to kill two of them, leaving behind the third one for some interrogation.
"I did move." Ryuk glanced at the woman with a soft smile. Thinking about her ability, he inquired, "So, your illusions aren't just playing with the target's mind?"
The reason for his inquiry was the fact that even using soul gaze, he wasn't able to see through it, his senses also kept denying the fact that it was all illusion.
In conclusion, mana signature, energy density, power level of that individual, added with smell and sensation around this place, everything seemed far more real than reality itself.
"Hm, how about you tell me first how strong you are, and then I will tell you my secret?" Caressing his hand before taking it away from her waist, the woman slid through his grip and folded her hands, looking at him.
'N-no, they were right, these flagbearers are monsters', Sam could only see the same amber light shrouding the young man's body with his eyes seeing a blurring figure.

Despite its origins over hundred years ago, the town, spanning 50 square miles, has evolved from its humble beginnings into a rundown area following a war.
A war which happened between an entire race and 10 individuals.
At the center of this town existed a single piece architecture built on carved stones, polished with precision and inscriptions making the detailed engravings on it always remain clean and beautiful.
Naturally, it wasn't made by cutting some mountains or something, but it was like a single white stone, cut into a mansion, pillars with intricate designs, far more majestic than any palace on Heindal.

Ignoring the metal gates guarded by two individuals of ADEPT ranks, a figure started to materialize just at a distance from that stone-carved mansion, near the center fountain.
'Even a blind could tell why this town is in ruins', Ryuk's eyes directly fell on the enormous mansion in front of him, huge in size with architecture which was just grandiose for a mere Mayor's mansion, it was clear where all the money for repairing of this town would have gone.
