Around half an hour before the fights started...
The expert straightened his position, then an intense aura seeped out of his figure, sending chills down the trios spine, then they felt all their secrets, were laid bare before the expert.
"They are here," the man's voice rang out.
This startled the trio, who could only shoot glances at each other without a single word.
"Just nine of them," the experts voice rang out.
"Make sure to stop him from getting here, Alca,"
"He may be young but from all the years I've watched him grow, he is definitely not weak. After all he, and that his guard managed to escape the main mansion alive even after we hired multiple men to kill him." The expert explained.
The trio bowed at his words, as Alca grit his teeth in annoyance, but didn't allow it to appear on his face.
"I'll proceed to my quarters, now," the man said as he turned to walk away,
but Alca's voice stopped him.
"I'm sorry for my disturbance, but may I ask a question," Alca said with a deep bow.
The expert nodded his head in approval.
"Why won't you kill Young master Augustus yourself, you have a better chance than we do?," Alca said.
The man simply smiled, while words proceeded out of his mouth, "That is because I have an oath with the Holon family."
Immediately he finished those words, he left the prison of sorts, and went back to his quarters.
Leaving a confused set of humans who couldn't help go into deep thought, 'An oath?,' Alca said inwardly.
They had not been asked to take an oath, he wasn't sure why, but he didn't like the ideas his mind gave him.

Inside a room, the figure of the expert could been seen cultivating, as he sat crossed-legged, and waves of mana flowed towards him, those waves of mana seemed to get sucked into an area just below his chest.
At this point the fight had started, since he could hear the muffled sound of explosions, and rumbles.
After a while, the expert sighed, then opened his eyes. He stood from his cross-legged position, sat behind a table, brought out a jug of wine and started drinking.
'"Let's see what's going on outside," the man muttered, as immediately his aura flared just a bit, then he expanded his consciousness, which covered the whole mansion!.
Everything happening, he saw, including the fact that the trio were dead, and Augustus was currently unchaining his woman.
Surprisingly a grin broke out on his face, as it seemed not bothered by the fact that many were being slaughtered, and the very person he needed to kill was having his way.
He actually continued drinking, while he recalled the conversation he had with Augustus's sister before arriving here.
He recalled her informing him that the trio, who were now dead planned to revolt, and the whole place was already disposable, the main attraction was Augustus's woman.
Seeping the wine from the cup he had, the expert continued to relax, as he watched tier 1's get slaughtered, while a few tier 2's held on, it actually surprised the man, that just seven people could do so much damage in mere minutes.
Though something caught his eye, or rather someone. This person could surprisingly expand his consciousness and was killing experts his mates like they were ants before his unholy speed, as with the way this young man was moving, the expert was certain he could solo the whole mansion, and in record time.
With this thought the expert decided to get serious, he ignored the fact, that Augustus was done unchaining his woman, and focused on the low realmed expert.

Dashing through the multiple halls, Noah slashed left and right with his daggers, as his opponents were dead before they knew it.
This massacre as Noah had realized, had been going on for a while now, and the amount of people remaining had drastically reduced, Noah wasn't sure if the other's were okay, so after a while he decided to return back to the outer walls, since during the minutes he had been killing, he found that a wall sepearated the outside from the inner circle, though there was a gate.
Dashing through the halls, Noah got to an open court, he wasn't yet in the outside walls, but this was just a stop before that.
Sighting a few experts, Noah spread his arms, bringing them back to his body after he had run past the experts, they all dropped dead. A fountain of blood gushing out either their necks or stomachs.
Honestly he had gotten bored of killing lower levelled experts, coupled with the fact that he had killed nearly a hundred people without gaining a single level.
Slashing continuously, Noah came to a halt, glancing around he saw that no one was currently around apart from he and the multiple dead bodies.
Slanting his head to the side, Noah dodged an arrow. Sweeping his gaze around he found the culprit. Dashing towards the person, while basically disappearing, Noah arrived in front of the shivering woman, as with cold eyes he performed a horizontal slash.
Watching her head roll, with red blood flying everywhere, Noah was about to move when a notification popped up.
[You have killed you hundredth human]
[You have gained title: Killer]
[Killer: A being that values no human life, as it goes on a killing spree. When in a fight grants 5% bonus to your stats and reduces your ability to feel sympathy by 2%]
[Killer titles, next level up to -->> [intermediate Killer, kill 500 humans[0/500.]
Noah read this message, as his heart shook from the name the system gave him. The feeling the boost gave him was washed away by the feeling he was currently having.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Noah looked up at the sky, seeing that it was almost time for night fall, he decided it was time to move, but before he could something startled him.
Noah had left his consciousness unfolded, which allowed him to see everything around him without having to looking, but he felt something touch his consciousness!!.
Focusing on his surrounding, he tried to inspect the environment, since he was currently alone, but when he got to a particular spot, his wave of consciousness shattered, as it was unable to go past that position.
Immediately that happened, Noah felt the undescribable feeling of being watched.
Many ideas surged through his mind, but only one conclusions seemed correct, 'A tier 3!' he shouted in his mind, this was because only from tier 3 should a person he able to unfold their consciousness, he was just an anomaly
Noah knew if he was right the the entire mission was doomed. Feeling something make contact with his consciousness before he could run, Noah heard a voice.
"Who exactly are you?." the voice of a man said, while Noah froze, 'People can talk through their consciousness?'. He said Inwardly.
"Yes people can," the voice answered.
Noah began to freak out, at that point, unconsciously orange sparks began to accumulate around his body, which boosted Noah's mental faculties.
"What the...." the expert exclamained, because suddenly, he couldn't make out Noah's thoughts, for they were too fast.
"I do not know why you can do such things, but I'll take you." the man said.
Immediately Noah heard those words, he felt an unknown force wrap around him tightly and begin to lift him up.
His eyes widened at that point. All of a sudden Noah didn't care less if the mission was successful or not, he wasn't going to get himself captured for anything.
It was with this thought, that his eyes blazed with an orange light, his body released loads of energy, as Noah became a shining figure.
Seeing that this wasn't enough to let the man's consciousness leave him, Noah thought of multiple things in the span of an instant, then he came to a conclusion.
The expert was currently somewhere in the whole mansion, which meant if he were to be distracted he wouldn't be able to keep Noah bound. 'I must destroy the entire place,' Noah concluded.
How was he going to do that, he wasn't even in the peak of tier 2, and wanted to destroy the whole place, the answer would be to summon Cudgel, but he couldn't do that, since he himself risked dying.
BOOOOOOM!.
An explosion resounded, as Noah managed to glance behind himself, to see a tall pole made of earth.
This was the sign that Augustus said meant the mission was a success, and everyone was to return to the carriage.
