Chapter 327: Artifact heist (Part III)
Mist Mirage!
The mist coming from below quickly filled up the entire corridor, reducing Xander’s vision to zero, but everything immediately returned to normal. The only difference was that Xavier’s clones had doubled in number.
“Nice trick there, but things like this don’t work on me.” Xander still retained an unbothered expression on his face as the blood gem ring on his left hand began glowing.
The blood gem ring granted him the ability to locate his target as long as they were within a certain range. That rule also extended to even when he was in an illusion.
His vision changed to that of a heat vision camera, and everything including all of Xavier’s 10 clones in the corridor was blue, meaning none of them were the original.
‘So predictable.’ Xander shook his head in disappointment as he quickly scanned the entire corridor.
“There you are...” Xander said, looking at a particular spot in the ankle level water in the corridor.
.....
Zzzg Zzzg
Stomping his feet, Xander released a shockwave of electricity that was carried by the water to all the clones and the particular spot that was red in his heat vision.
The small but powerful burst of electricity was too quick for the water clones to dodge it, causing them to evaporate, leaving only the illusions still standing.
Seeing the attack coming at him, Xavier quickly changed form to a lightning bolt and shot out of the water, but Xander who had predicted such a move had also turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared at his destination.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Immediately Xavier turned back to his human form, Xander who appeared in front of him using the strength of a demigod geomancer and the speed granted by lightning reinforcement to unleash a barrage of devastating blows that sent crashing into the wall of chromastone.
“I am not close to the best demigod realm fighters in the league, but the so-called prodigy of Calton city is trash, disappointing.” Xander spat as his expression had changed to that of anger because Xavier was nowhere close to meeting his expectations.
‘Shit! He is from the league of assassins, no wonder he is so powerful.’ Xavier thought as he tried to recover from the attack. ‘I am definitely screwed if they didn’t get my signal.’
Seismic Burst!
Xander stomped his right foot on the ground, causing a series of shockwaves to slam into Xavier who was trying to regain his footing.
10 bursts of powerful shockwaves continuously crashed into Xavier giving him no space to counter, but even at that Xander wasn’t done.
Absorbing the shockwaves produced by the seismic blast to greatly enhance his body for a short time, Xander lunged at Xavier with 10 times the speed and power of a truck, as he delivered a devastating right hand to his torso.
Crack!
The sound of both Xavier’s ribs and the wall of chromastone echoed all around the quaking mansion, as he puked out a mouthful of blood.
“I have to confess, your house is very impressive to be able to withstand so many spells.” Xander said as he looked around. “Tell me, is the quality the same for all the mansions in the Karius estate?”
Xander turned to Xavier for an answer, but the Calton city prodigy was finding it hard to breathe because of his damaged rib cage and collapsed lungs, talking more of answering such a question.
BOOM! BOOM!
Out of nowhere, the mansion was being bombarded by multiple demigod lightning spells. If not for the lightning rod barrier that was weakening the attacks, the mansion which had already taken so much damage from the one-sided beat down would have collapsed already.
“I guess your backup is already here.” Xander said with an excited expression on his face, but that of Xavier was utter shock.
“You think I didn’t notice the glow of neuron boost in your eyes when you cast thunder call. Even with a boost with the increased thought process granted by neurons you were still too predictable.” Xavier said as he used the blood gem to locate those that were attacking the building.
3 people were flying above the mansion, 2 were raining down spells on it and they were in the demigod realm. The last was in the peak demigod realm and was currently disabling all the arrays and traps Xander had set on the building.
“I would have loved to kill you for disappointing me, but I am not getting paid for that.” Xavier activated the 3rd ring which was what looked like a diamond crystal, but its surface alongside the shank was filled with runes.
“I guess it is time to leave.” A spatial tear opened behind, but on turning to leave, Xavier finally spoke.
“You had the chance to escape long ago, but it is too late now.” Xavier had mustard all the strength in his body to say those words.
At that moment, the spatial tear behind him had collapsed and so did all the arrays and traps he had set in and outside the house.
“Things just got interesting, time to show you all why I am the best in the league of assassins in terms of escaping.” Xander said with an excited but psychotic smile as he grabbed onto Xavier and held him in a hostage position.
BOOM!
A thunderbolt crashed through the roof and the peak demigod appeared in front of the stairs.
The man who looked like he was in his early 40s had black hair braided in a cornrow style with crisp lighting fades. He wore a white and light blue overflowing robe and had charming brown eyes that added to his serene aura.
This was the Leader of the Karius family of Calton city and the father of Xavier.
Best
Although he look like a cool-headed man, every cultivator in the city knew he was one of the worst people to stay close to when he was angered, talking more of being the one that angered him.
“Xander the best escape artist of the league of assassins and the bastard child of the Karius and Ulrik family, nice meeting you again.” Zola said with a calm smile not worried that his son was being held hostage.
