Chapter 203 - Chapter 203: Chapter 195 "Iron Mask Man (2/2)

“It’s a Cyart swine!”

“Beat this son of a bitch to death!”

“Kill him! Kill him!”

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the prison guards rushed over to restrain the commoners, but just then, Darren suddenly knelt on the ground, forcefully kowtowing to the prisoners who were beating him, the sound of his iron mask striking the floor resounded loudly.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

Without hesitation, he shouted at the top of his lungs,

“Grandpas, stop hitting me! I’m begging you, please, grandpas, spare your grandson!”

Darren’s servile voice stunned the prisoners and the prison guards for a moment. Then came everyone’s contempt, the prisoners spit on him one after another, disdainfully turning away.

For some reason, at this moment Darren didn’t feel humiliated at all; instead, there was a strange sense of release deep inside him, and an even more bizarre sense of looking down on the situation.

It was as if he was watching another self doing all these things, feeling that the sufferer wasn’t truly himself.

“Hahahahaha!”

A few days later, Darren learned some important pieces of news: that this prison was the largest in the Rhea Kingdom, located in the eastern part and housing thousands of prisoners.

Most of those imprisoned here were Rhea People, especially many opponents of the Meyer family; in fact, only a small fraction were Cyart people, less than one-tenth.

The Cyart people in the prison were terribly oppressed by the Rhea People, belonging to the absolute bottom of the prison hierarchy.

Two more important pieces of information he gathered were that the large prison was located on a remote mountain and that a sensory-type barrier surrounded it. The prison’s management team consisted of over a dozen Extraordinary Exponents, with the prison director himself being a strong man at the Transmutation Level.

Because of Darren’s iron mask, he quickly earned a nickname among everyone.

“Iron Mask Man.”

Because of the cowardice he displayed from deep in his bones, no one in the prison respected him. Even his fellow Cyart prisoners thought he was embarrassingly disgraceful.

Darren had long stopped caring about how others saw him.

After he had collected the basic intelligence, he immediately began to devise a specific blueprint for escaping from prison.

“Escaping from prison is just the beginning. Then, I’ll have to traverse half of Rhea, cross one and a half provinces to reach the East Coast Province.”

“Or, maybe find a way to directly join forces with the Cyart army or with people from the Rhea Royal Family?”

“I have no idea about the geography of central Rhea. The real challenge will start once I’ve left the prison.”

However, escaping from prison wasn’t difficult at all for someone with the “Specter Body” and the extraordinary power of “Destruction”. Darren just needed to create a disturbance in the prison first, ensuring not to attract the prison director’s attention during his escape.

But was it just about escaping from the prison?

He felt that it wasn’t enough; in fact, he was quite unwilling to let it be. Deep inside, he silently contemplated the idea that he absolutely had to make those Rhea People taste pain and despair.

Just the thought that those who had bullied and destroyed him were still alive, with loves, happiness, futures, kept Darren from sleeping well at night.

“Hehehehe…”

He looked at the Cyart prisoners scattered around at rest, enduring bullying while eating, and a strong idea surged within him.

I will escape with all the Cyart people!

That night, Darren, like a specter, expressionlessly passed through the walls of the cell, entering another prisoner’s cell, then stretched his hand into a male prisoner’s chest, partly releasing the Specter Body state, directly crushing the man’s heart!

“Mmph!”

The male prisoner tried to scream instinctively, but his mouth was already covered. He died almost immediately.

Beneath the iron mask, Darren’s eyes were piercingly cold, his hands dripping with blood, emotionlessly dismembering the man’s body into pieces.

This was a Rhea man, no different from an animal in his eyes, regardless of age or sex.

“Specter Body” made it possible for his clothing to enter a spectral state, thus he could carry the dismembered pieces of the corpse through the walls.

Accordingly, Darren took those pieces of the corpse away, placing them in different cells nearby.

Because his movements were swift, cautious, and careful, no prisoner noticed his actions.

“Let’s start some chaos first, hahaha!”

He could feel a kind of pleasure deep inside him when doing these things, an elation that was almost uncontrollable!
