Nightfall fell, and the occasional hoarse cries of strange birds echoed in the air.
A shadow flashed by at the base of the wall, but it went unnoticed by any of the guards, and even the ferocious hunting dogs failed to notice anything amiss.
This is actually quite normal. In terms of stealth skills, Gustavo is even better than professional assassins. Taking down a Shadow Serpent Clan is a piece of cake for him.
Unless the Shadow Serpent Clan has Truth Fate Master, Gustavo could not have been exposed.
Although the reason why the seal was Luck Deprivation was unknown, the main body of the seal of the Apostle of the God of Law was not destroyed. The little bit of misfortune that leaked out was not enough to ruin things.
Which one should we tackle first?
Beneath the cloak, Victor asked excitedly, his eyes burning with barely suppressed hatred.
"From small to large, from weak to strong." Gustavo's words were concise and to the point. He picked on the weakest link first, dealing with the rabble of the Shadow Serpent Clan.
In the darkness, countless tiny spiderwebs, capable of shielding one's senses, spread in all directions without attracting the attention of any member of the Shadow Serpent Clan.
Before long, the entire territory of the Shadow Serpent Clan was covered with Gustavo's spider silk. From above, it looked like an impenetrable net, silently encircling its prey.
Inside a room, a young man, around twenty years old, was practicing the meditation method of the Shadow Serpent Clan. In front of him was a row of empty bottles, and a faint smell of blood wafted out—the smell of human blood.
Slowly opening his eyes, the young man's expression was sinister. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, my cultivation speed is too slow. This blood is far from enough for me to form the ' Blood Serpent ' Fate Art. I'll have to buy more on the black market, but where can I get the money? It's all the fault of that damned Star God Lineage, meddling in other people's business. What do they care about the lives of mortals..."
For the vast majority of Fate Master tellers, especially those from Fate Master families, ordinary people are simply not considered as their own kind.
In the eyes of Fate Master, the status of mortals is no different from that of poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs; eating people is not even a big deal.
Within the Fate Master System, there are countless sects that use human flesh and soul as resources for cultivation, and the Blood River Will is one of the best among them.
Three thousand years ago, a sect like the Blood River Will would definitely have been labeled a heretical cult, a rat in the gutter, and unworthy of respectability.
However, with the sudden change of the times, the Fate Master rose again. After recovering, sects like the Blood River Will openly developed their own power. At first, the Star God Lineage could still suppress them, but as time went on, they became increasingly powerless and could only watch helplessly as the Star Gods wreaked havoc within their territory.
Of course, the Star God System has not completely collapsed and still possesses extremely strong overall strength, barely maintaining its dominant position. Although the various Fate Master Sect have done a lot of cannibalistic things, they do not dare to act openly. Most of them achieve their goals by cultivating black gloves.
Only a madman like the Cult of the End, who is completely unreasonable and attempts to Destruction the world, would disregard the rules set by the Star God Lineage and act recklessly.
After muttering a few resentful words to himself, the young man put away the bottles and jars in front of him and prepared to rest. Just then, a spider silk ten times thinner than a human hair silently emerged from behind him.
At the tip of the spider silk, a wisp of black light flickered incessantly, like the gaze of a deadly hunter eyeing its prey—utterly chilling.
Pfft!!
After a barely perceptible sound, the young man's throat was pierced by spider silk, and the Hades Poison flowed rapidly into his body through his arteries, especially his brain.
In an instant, the young man who had just been cultivating with human blood collapsed on the bed. His skin was covered with countless black dots, and then, centered on the black dots, festering and turning into a pool of poisonous mud, as if the liquid had melted.
The same scene unfolded almost simultaneously in every room of the entire Shadow Serpent Clan, with everyone, regardless of age, gender, or animal, falling under the attack range of the spider silk.
The full power of the Hades Poison was unleashed; even a tiny dose was enough to kill a Level Two Fate Master, and Level Three Fate Art Master would have little chance of resistance.
Ultimately, the Fate Master System is similar to most Mage in the Astral Realm, specializing in magical power cultivation, with average physical strength, and most afraid of insidious methods such as poison.
Compared to the Astral Realm Mage have a wide variety of methods, the Fate Master of the Star God Realm, although capable of casting Fate Art instantly, have extremely limited methods.
Once you learn the template for offensive Fate Art, defense becomes a major problem, and vice versa. This is especially true before level four.
Gustavo dared to bring Victor to the Shadow Serpent Clan for Revenge precisely because he saw the obvious weakness of the Fate Master System. After all, the Shadow Serpent Clan only had one Level 4 Fate Master, Anim.
Gustavo also showed the utmost respect to his greatest enemy, using half of the Hades Poison on him.
"I wonder if I can take this guy down." Hidden beneath his cloak, Gustavo's attention was focused on a certain location of the Shadow Serpent Clan.
Just now, he used a dozen or so spider silk threads to inject half of the Hades Poison into Anim's body. Now, Gustavo is waiting for the result.
Boom!!
The Sturdiness stone building shattered, and a giant serpent formed from magical energy emerged from it. Anim, his body radiating black energy, had an extremely ugly expression, his eyes filled with rage, and roared at the night, "Who dares to ambush me?!"
The roar was like thunder, shaking a large area. In the past, the Shadow Serpent Clan would have been alarmed, and a large number of people would have come out from all directions to await Anim's orders.
But at this moment, as Anim's words fell, the entire Shadow Serpent Clan seemed to fall into a silent realm, a deathly stillness, with only the sound of the night wind echoing in their ears.
Anim's face stiffened, and an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Could it be that he wasn't the only one who had been ambushed?!
He quickly released his perception, and then the scenes projected into his mind by his Divine Power almost made this revitalized leader of the Shadow Serpent Clan explode with anger.
The entire Shadow Serpent Clan, from top to bottom, actually perished from that terrifying toxin.
Not only the Fate Master, but even the tamed snakes were all killed and turned into poisonous mud, a truly tragic sight.
"Hehe, now you know how to feel sorry for yourself. When you wiped out that entire clan, why didn't you even blink? Weren't you laughing quite happily then? Laugh again! What, can't you laugh anymore?"
With his cloak billowing in the wind, Gustavo used his spider silk to penetrate Victor 'Victor body, manipulating him like a puppet.
The latter lost control of his body, but remained fully conscious, taking in everything before him.
Seeing that all living beings in the Shadow Serpent Clan's territory, except for Chief Anim, were dead, Victor's desire for Revenge was undoubtedly greatly satisfied. His spirits were as high as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his worship of Gustavo reached an unparalleled level.
"Did you do this?!"
Anim abruptly turned his head to look at the cloaked figure in front of him. The figure's bloodshot eyes were ferocious and terrifying, but Gustavo had seen it all before and was not afraid at all. He even watched the other's expression with great interest, as if he were watching an interesting performance.
Although Anim couldn't see Victor's facial expression through the cloak, he could clearly sense Gustavo's undisguised gloating. Instantly, he was enraged, and the Blood Serpent beneath him hissed... and turned to run!
