The Founder's POV

Chapter 40: Final Cleansing [3]

"You're Funny!" Eus laughed from ear to ear, holding the spike that had pierced his brain.

"For God's sake..." Panic gripped me, but I couldn't do anything.

All the mana I had accumulated was already exhausted, there was no escape now!

The SS- level mana inside Eus's body all gathered into a small grape-sized orb and suddenly exploded.

I closed my eyes, then remembered something. I might survive!

"For God's sake..." Killian looked at the mansion and the surrounding areas being absorbed into a blue vortex, his mouth wide open.

"He's not dead, right?" He could barely utter these words, afraid of this possibility.

He still had unfinished business with Jin, and how would he get down from here alone?

"I'm still here, you idiot!" Jinn smacked the back of Killian's head and sat beside him.

The fight wasn't as easy as he had thought, facing many difficulties against a lower-ranked opponent.

'He was very smart... if it weren't for the bond created between Cassian and me due to the skill, I would be ashes now.'

Jin sighed and closed his eyes to rest.

After using his Legacy skill on Cassian, a sort of bond was created between them, along with some skills.

One of them was <Summon>, which allowed Cassian to summon Jin at any time, and Jin could also teleport to him. However, Cassian couldn't teleport to Jinn; that was the limit of the skill.

"Speak." Jinn spoke after mentally resting a bit, organizing his thoughts now.

Killian closed his eyes for a second, gathered his thoughts, then began to speak.

"This place..." Killian looked at a rather large building from which the cries of puppets continuously emerged. The cries sent shivers down anyone hearing them for the first time.

Jin stared at the facility, unable to help but grind his teeth in anger. Some of his comrades had passed through this facility multiple times before and had suffered greatly here.

Maybe Lyra had screamed in this place long ago... and Elara too. Jin advanced slowly, his intent unknown.

"Jinn! Don't let this place be destroyed, please, I can feel him here!" Killian shouted from afar. Jin paused for a moment at hearing this, then continued walking.

"Alright..." he muttered softly as he approached the guards at the entrance, wasting no time in knocking them unconscious.

He wouldn't kill any of the workers here, as most of them were forced into this. But if he saw any member of this society, he wouldn't hesitate to burn them to ashes...

The alarm sirens blared as Jin entered the place, seeing guards converging around him in various ways.

The commonality between them was that they were all at rank B+. Jinn had heard from Lyra and Elara that puppets were sent to hell the moment they reached rank A. Maybe that was why there were no strong people here.

Since the guards were all puppets, he knocked them out with his words and continued walking simply. Nothing in this place could slow him down... nothing.

Jin passed through feeding and torture rooms, destroying everything, killing society members, and knocking out the puppets. He freed those trapped in narrow coffins, destroyed the sacred fruits in the stockpile, and finally reached the laboratory.
