Chapter 678 Dark Reaper

Chapter 678 Dark Reaper

The two Wendigos and the three Night Harpies attempted to defend themselves and counterattack against the metal projectiles coming their way, but after a minute, they all started to flee, running or flying away from the area in an attempt to escape.

As soon as these Sky Sovereign creatures began to move away, Vicente used his third skill and reappeared before the entrance to the cave. He then targeted their minds, causing them to make numerous mistakes in their movements.

Then, metal stakes, daggers, swords, and various other metal structures struck their large bodies.

Vicente's mental attack almost instantly destroyed the two Wendigos, while the three Night Harpies sustained severe injuries but remained whole. Nonetheless, they emitted high-pitched screams as they plummeted from the sky, continuing to be struck as the magnetic forces within their bodies persisted.

In just two minutes since they arrived in the area, more than 500 creatures had fallen to the powers of Vicente's group members, littering the surroundings of this sparsely wooded mountainous area with blood and brains.

Vicente halted his use of powers as he reached the cave entrance, where the five monsters had previously been guarding. He quickly sensed that the entrance to the secret high ground in this area was right before him.

As he began to step forward, Torne alerted him, 'Master, there's someone here.'

'What?' Vicente stopped immediately.

'Do you see the stone door at the end of this cave? There are two ways to close the doors of the order's secret altars. One is the correct way, using the altar keys. This method is perfect and seals the doors completely, making it very difficult for even Paragons to break in.

The other way is the wrong way, which is manual. If someone doesn't have the key to the place because they lost it or simply don't have it, they can try to close an open door to prevent the magical fluctuations in the area from escaping and attracting the attention of magical beings. However, in this state, these doors cannot prevent Paragons from entering the place.

That's how this stone door is now. It has been manipulated by hand. We can't sense the auras inside this secret altar and don't know what's inside. But whoever knows there is an entrance here can easily open this passage.' Torne explained this detail.

'I know there's something inside because the way it was closed could only have been done by someone inside the altar.' He added.

'I see. Well, I'll be careful.' Vicente kept his guard up as he walked toward the inside of the cave.

The moment Vicente entered the training area of this altar, the creature waiting for him, sitting on the floor with his back to the entrance of this room, opened his mouth, and a frightening voice came out of it.

"You are quite brave to come here even after sensing my aura, ghost." Said the creature, which was basically made of darkness, as if he were a 3D shadow with no defined body contours.

It looked like a pile of mist with the silhouette of a man dressed in black.

But there was a very distinctive weapon in his lap, a large, shiny scythe.

"Dark Reaper, watch your tone. You stand before the Darkness Master!" Torne said as part of his spiritual body appeared in front of Vicente.

"The Darkness Master? That's funny." The Dark Reaper turned his face sideways as he looked at Vicente with his invisible eyes while laughing darkly.

"There is indeed a bit of darkness in him, but is that all?" The Paragon asked, someone Torne was sure they could not stand against.

Dark Reapers were extremely powerful. They were creatures of the shadows, the natural hunters of the lost souls that haunted this world.

Normally, Dark Reapers would not act violently against beings who had nothing to do with the lost souls of this world. But these beings had their own will and pride, so anything was possible.

The strength of a Dark Reaper was unparalleled, especially regarding their ability to manipulate their special weapon, the scythe.

The scythe of these creatures was not just any weapon. It was part of their power and could even separate the soul from the body and inflict damage that could kill or even maim souls!

That was the natural enemy of ghosts like Torne, so this guy couldn't help but appeal to the fear of the Dark Reaper to avoid his own death and serious problems for Vicente.

"Don't be so hasty. Feel the true power of the master of this altar!"
