Chapter 453 - Chase (1) (1/2)

The cloaked man's position inside Asyaka Cult was relatively high. His position was directly under the three founders and directly reported to the three founders. He managed quite many areas on this big scale operation. When he got the news to pull out the troop and investigate the situation, he immediately departed.

Although the demonic monster's leader could sense that its subordinate died, it could not deduce the exact location where it died. However, the leader knew which subordinate which died. That was why they could figure out the area.

As the one who maintained the youngest demonic monster's area, the cloaked man was nervous. He knew if he didn't give a good explanation, he could be killed. He spent more effort in this place.

As a preventive measure, the cult had decided not to use any communication device to inform sensitive information. Moreover, after the incident had happened, the use of such tools was forbidden. The cult didn't know whether the enemies had tapped on their meeting device or not.

The cult had given three orders. The first was to stay low. Second, the affected area should spend all effort to investigate the matter. Third, to destroy the meeting device. Although the meeting device was not cheap, they could still buy a new one. Their secrecy was the top priority.

Because of that, the cloaked man could only visit all his managed area one by one on foot. The cloaked man had five regions to manage. He had chosen this place first since this town was the closest to the youngest demonic monster's hiding place.

However, how could he have guessed that his choice was correct? He directly founded the perpetrator on the first visit. Now, he had to capture this man and woman dead or alive.

Just like what Alice had guessed, as a higher-up in the cult, the cult gave each of their executives a device. This device was a defensive tool.

It was planted inside the body. And it could be activated or deactivated. When it was activated, it would form an invisible barrier around the owner. This barrier would reduce the incoming damage by 60%, and it would absorb the reduced damage up to twice the owner's health.

When deactivated, it would recharge the barrier's health. However, the charging speed was slow. Also, the device could only be activated when 60% of the barrier's health left.

Of course, there were only a few amounts of this impressive device. Apart from the three founders, these devices only give the executive who had the same position as him. And, inside the cult, there were 5 executives, including him.

The cloaked man had used up the device and created the invisible barrier. When he was about to start the fight, he had seen Auron and Alice. From the two of them, he had deduced that Alice was the stronger one.

Although the barrier was quite strong, it was still limited. Meanwhile, he didn't know whether his foes had reinforcements or not. That was why he intended to finish the battle quickly.

As the stronger one, the cloaked man would focus on Alice first before dealing with Auron. That was why the cloaked man ignored Auron's attack. Moreover, there were his subordinates that could deal with Auron.
