CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 423. ASSASSINATION 3

A dead body was suspended in the air, with blood flowing ceaselessly from it.

The dead body was suspended by means of Kailen’s spiritual power, as it followed Kailen, Ethan and the others throughout the hallways of the Revearson Clan.

Their destination was the Assembly Hall of the clan.

Alongside them, the former guard of the Clan Leader—one of the rank 1 intermediate stage galactic level lifeforms and the strongest powerhouse of the clan, Tirian Reaverson—followed them with shock swirling violently in his eyes, his steps unsteady beneath the suffocating silence.

The moment he felt his connection to the clan leader through the rune oath completely disappear, he knew the clan leader was dead.

He rushed into the clan leader’s room, not out of sadness, but out of joy.

He wanted to see with his own eyes if it had really happened.

After confirming it, he sighed in relief.

Ethan Revearson had managed to pull it off huh.

The clan was finally rid of the cancer that was Rango Revearson.

And most importantly, how was this possible?

How had Kailen Darkhaven pulled it off without alerting anyone?

Even if Kailen Darkhaven had entered the room somehow by completely veiling himself, it shouldn’t have been impossible for a rank 1 intermediate stage ascendant level lifeform to notice this, right?

Inasmuch as the clan leader’s room was guarded by runes that maintained the clan leader’s privacy and prevented anyone from using their perception to notice what was happening inside the room, it should not have been possible for someone weaker than him to bypass his perception, as he stood guard outside the door.

Kailen Darkhaven, was an enigma.

When he found the dead body of the clan leader, he was terrified.

From the way the body looked, he knew the level of torture Kailen Darkhaven had put Rango Revearson through.

He could tell from a glance and the way the body looked like, that the man had been paralysed and tormented with poisons.

Black Flask Darkhaven... this guy was terrifying. The kind of terrifying that made the soul tremble.

"Right, if he could end three powerhouses of the empire overnight without revealing himself, and kill an instructor of the academy in an extremely mysterious manner, then something like this should not be impossible for him. The organisations of the empire backing him aside, what sort of mysterious powerhouse is backing this kid? To make him so terrifying?

It’s a good thing that the young master has a good head on his shoulders, and decided to ally with him. Young master Ethan, the New Lord, is definitely the good luck charm of the Revearson clan. With someone like Kailen Darkhaven as our supporter, not even the top clans in Atlantis will dare try to attack us. This kid’s painting Inevitability even caught the attention of a rank 7 supreme stage galactic level lifeform. That means the particular Excellency has interest in him.

That alone is enough to make the top clans in Atlantis stay out of our way, knowing Kailen Darkhaven has the favour of someone like that.

Although the rumors of Darkhaven’s painting being admired by the mysterious Excellency is not literally confirmed, who would dare lie about something related to a rank 7 supreme stage galactic level lifeform, a powerhouse standing at the Pinnacle of low tier civilisations?

Kailen Darkhaven, will undoubtedly achieve great things."

Meanwhile, during this moment, several powerhouses of the clan felt their connection to the old clan master through the Rune oath completely disappear.

They were extremely aware of what this meant.

This meant that Rango Revearson was dead.

They were trying to contact the strongest elder of the clan to confirm the news, when the same man sent a thought transmission to all the elders of the clan.

"Everyone should gather at the Assembly Hall of the clan for a very important peace of announcement."

After this, they realized that the clan leader was truly dead, which made them extremely happy.

The fucking bastard was dead.

However, they were very curious about how this had occurred.

They knew they would have their answer when they got to the Assembly Hall of the clan.

****

In the luxurious Assembly Hall of the Revearson clan, the clan elders stopped their chatter and parted ways as the doors opened.

They saw Ethan Revearson, the young master of the clan.

Looks of admiration appeared in their eyes as they saw him.

Before they could even bow respectfully to him, he motioned to them that it was not necessary.

Right.

The young master had always been like this.

He was not a fan of these useless formalities.

He always said that their greatest way of showing loyalty was to obey commands, not to express useless greetings in the form of bows.

Curiously, they looked at his side, and it wasn’t Tirian Revearson walking beside him.

It was a person they had been all too familiar with, not in person, but through virtual universe forums and conversations across the empire.

Kailen Darkhaven.

Renowned Black Flask Alchemist with a purity level of at least 91 percent, Exceptional Emotional Realm Painter, known widely for his recent painting, Inevitability.

Rank 0 runesmith with a rune skill proficiency of 99 percent!

And most importantly known for his ruthless nature towards enemies and benevolence towards allies.

Recently, he had even destroyed the vimodial society of the Astral Empire Academy in an extremely gruesome manner, something everyone admired him for.

His other feats, such as the massacre of the society wars, massacre of the Harkers, Darkhavens and Arcane Empowerment Sect, were not hidden.

This person was standing before them.

He walked with a relaxed posture, dark eyes enigmatic, yet predatory.

He seemed ordinary, didn’t look bulky, but quite athletic and pale skinned.

And yet, no one could forget any of his videos they had watched. The memory alone was enough to chill the blood.

"We greet Black Flask Darkhaven!"

The elders were not stupid.

Some of them may have been more powerful than Kailen, as they were at the rank 1 intermediate stage galactic level, but someone of Kailen’s calibre was meant to bypass them soon and later.

Also, the powerhouses behind him could squash them like ants.

Coupled with Kailen’s unpredictable nature, who knows if he was actually hiding his real strength?

Also, they were able to connect the dots that Kailen Darkhaven had definitely been the one to kill the clan leader.

Based on his feats, this wouldn’t be impossible for him.

If he could kill three hegemon organizations of the empire without revealing himself, and even kill an academy instructor without revealing himself, it was no surprise that he had killed the clan leader and no one had been alerted.

Kailen simply nodded at their greeting, as he stepped into the hall with the others.

That was when the elders noticed the dead body floating behind him.

From the way the body was looking, they couldn’t help but gasp at what manner of torture Kailen Darkhaven had subjected the vermin of Revearson to, before he killed him.
