Looking down at the destroyed Mountain House, Max was expressionless.

'Lucy, are they dead?'

'gone, can't find.'

Lucy can't focus on too many tasks at once.

They obviously teleported again somehow, but she couldn't pinpoint their new location immediately.

Max didn't talk, but just gave up control over cold blood.

'use this to find them.'

Lucy didn't waste time as a giant windmill looking construct made of Mist, appeared and locked the hammer and started spinning it, faster and faster.

Then cold blood was launched, rotating at high speed.

wooooosh!

Max flew behind cold blood.

Not far away from Max's location, Haran's who lost his right leg, and looked like a one handed one legged monster from a horror movie hugged violet one last time and handed her a blue token.

"Uncle no we can go together!." cried Violet, tears rolling down.

"we can't. The token will activate slower with more people using it at the same time.

In that case, that monster will find us before we escape. "

From his point of view, Max wasn't a genius but a monster, a cold-blooded one at that.

And until now, he still didn't figure out what was that fog, Max's skill or his pets or something else.

Violet was crying her lungs out. She wanted to curse the day she was informed of Max's existence.

Haran wanted to explain more but before he could, he saw a mist spear forming out of thin air behind violet and stabbing down.

Lucy just locked on their location, following the general direction of the hammer.

Haran pulled violet just before she was impaled, but at this moment a blood red hammer rotating with high speed rushed at him before he could react.

Bang! Haran and violet were thrown like rag dulls, and while blood repulsion effect was triggered on the old man, it didn't actually do much since Haran didn't have much blood left, only surviving using some unknown method or skill.

Mist rushed towards the two in different shapes: spears, axis, swords, and hammers.

Lucy was forming missed as fast as she could.

Max just arrived looking at Haran holding Violet and dodging around, but not for long.

Because Lucy was technically everywhere within the Mountain and he couldn't dodge forever.

Max secretly judge that it wasn't necessary to use Crimson Brilliance, it's better to save it in case they had more stronger enforcement.

Soon, Haran didn't dodge in time as violet's arm was cut off.

"ahhhhhhh." Screamed violet

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

" No, I will kill you. "yelled Haran in anger.

"oh, you better do, otherwise it will be me who will burn down your entire family. "mocked Max, distracting the old guy, while three crows flew silently, covered by the heavy fog under his order.

Whoosh!

Mist attacked in full force from one side while three crows rushed to violet while Haran was distracted by the Mist.

Shadow crow Delma went for the eyes and, using its sharp clows, it pierced down, trying to reach the brain.

Both Sand crow ramla and psychic crow mok went for the neck drawing blood.

"ahhh." But before the injuries can get deep enough, violet suddenly disappeared.

Blink!.

Max's expression didn't look good.

This bunch seems to have too many teleportation items shouldn't those things be super rare?.

'Lu, kill him and start looking for her.'

"There's no need to look for her… cough!! .. That token should've sent her to the family… cough! Cough! . "

Under Max's cold gaze, Haran was pierced multiple times from different spots with spears made of mist.

Max didn't believe him and let Lucy search for her.

" you realize the fact that you are dead, and for nothing since I'm going to destroy your family sooner or later, including that woman.

I believe you should be smart enough to realize this much. "

"Cough! Cough, most probably sadly, but. cough! It's up to them to… "

A hand made of mist grabbed the old man and crushed him under Max's order now that he stopped resisting and dodging.

Crush!…..

"make sure he is dead this time, and find the other one immediately."

Lucy went to work immediately, and even the crows started flying around the mountain looking for violet.

....

…

A few hours passed, and the search was completely fruitless.

Max is currently sitting inside a newly made house, similar to his old one.

'found nothing.'

A telepathic message reached him from Lucy. Her tone was low and cautious, not wanting to annoy Max.

Max smiled bitterly.

"Sigh, I guess I won't be using my talent anytime soon. "

Max still had the simulator, so it wasn't too big of a problem, since the talent son mark only work on the human but not his pets.

But this will definitely slow him down a lot.

Lucy placed a few items in front of him.

It was a used teleportation scroll, and a broken bead.

sand crow ramla also flew next to Max and placed a blue necklace on the table.

Craw! Craw! Craw!.

"huh? You took this from that woman. Good job I'd check it later."

The pets could feel their master's bad mood, so they just stood aside and didn't disturb him as he checked the bead.

There was a single black hair inside of it, taking the strand of hair out in suspicion.

Max asked the simulator.

" simulator scan, is this my hair? "

[Ding, scanning…

Reporting…

This hair specimen indeed belongs to the host.]

"I will fking destroy Glory City one day. "

Suddenly, in his anger, Max noticed something on the simulator screen. There were actually a few prompts that he didn't see.

Opening them, Max was stunned.

[Ding, scanning....

foreign intrusion within the host body..]

[Ding, new Talent detected..sun mark]

[Ding, starting augmentation.…]

[Augmenting. ….

augmenting, cutting the link to the source..

augmenting..]

[Augmentation successful…

Would you like to view the new talent? ]

Max was stunned on the spot, all that anger and helplessness for not.

Max literally couldn't remember how many times he cursed and swore to destroy this and that in the past few hours.

All because he didn't want to use his talent to help that bitch grow stronger, but apparently, the simulator already took care of the situation long ago.

"so I can still proceed with my plans? Simulator, why didn't you inform me of this earlier? "

[Ding, the host, was judged to be in battle.

The simulator cannot disturb the host in such situations.]

Max didn't know what to say, but he just smiled, his mood returning to normal immediately.

"show me this new talent."

[Ding.
