The Founder's POV

Chapter 33: Morning Star

Jin skillfully maneuvered around the guardian's blows, drawing closer and closer to the white hair puppet, but it came at the cost of some mental strikes.

The guardian's strikes had a peculiar effect; their impact on the body was weak, but each hit nearly shattered Jin's mind. If not for their comparable levels now and the extraordinary resilience of Jin's mind, the battle would have ended long ago.

"Die!" Jin shouted as his blade nearly touched the guardian's forehead, but his body suddenly acted strange.

The blade retracted, and Jin knelt on one knee, all aggressive thoughts vanishing from his mind for a second.

A strong kick hit his jaw. immediately, sending him crashing into the ceiling.

"Too weak," the guardian mocked him, pulling out a handkerchief to clean his hand. His appearance was as exceptional as Sebastian's, with black hair that reflected the light and a black suit. He looked younger but bore a strong resemblance to Sebastian.

It was as if they were brothers. This person's name was Aron Vantos, the ruler of Vantos family on the upper island.

Vantos tossed the white handkerchief away when he finished cleaning himself and decided to go support Sebastian. A strange blade suddenly collided with his fist, forcing him to use some of his energy to protect himself.

"Strange effect..." Vantos muttered, looking into Cassian's eyes and then at the seal on his forehead. His expression suddenly changed.

'How did that damned Sebastian not notice this seal before?! He should have killed him when he had the chance!' Vantos complained while pushing Cassian's sword away from him.

"I am under the protection of the father; you cannot affect me. I advise you to surrender now."

Vantos drew a blade from nowhere and pointed it at Cassian.

Cold sweat dripped down Cassian's forehead as he faced Vantos. He began to regret intervening directly.

The difference between the two was too great; he couldn't compete with rank A individuals as he could with rank B.

One direct hit would be his end, and his martial art wasn't much of a factor right now.

Vantos immediately lunged to kill Cassian, but a short blade pierced the middle of his chest, then came out and stabbed him again.

Blood flowed from Vantos's mouth, and his facial expression turned ugly for a second.

"It seems you're back!" he said with a nasty smile.

"Yes," Jin replied before rushing towards the white-haired doll without wasting any time.

Vantos put his hand on his chest and screamed with an ugly face.

"Don't do it!"

He wanted to rush to stop Jin, but Cassian used his body to block him.

Cassian didn't know the goal of these three people, but he would help them as long as they were against Sebastian and Vantos. His fate was death anyway; he would cause as many problems as possible if he continued on that path.

Vantos punched Cassian, knocking him to the ground, then immediately ran towards Jin.

"You!" Vantos growled angrily when he noticed Cassian grabbing his legs while lying on the ground.

"You won't!" Vantos screamed one last time, and strange blue energy emanated from his hand.

A bizarre silhouette appeared over Jin, looking like a transparent palm tinged with a bit of white. The mana that came from it made even Sebastian look towards them in astonishment.
