All the "elders" from the "Hundred Major Families" who had noticed this place were waiting for their previous companions to come out.
They certainly didn't think Jason stood any chance.
Only "their" "Leader's" gaze flickered.
But this "Leader" would absolutely not say anything more.
He would only seize the time to slaughter!
Like a shadow, like the wind, another figure whisked past the throat of an "elder" of the "Hundred Major Families", and he spoke with an even louder voice, "I sacrifice the lives I offer personally, to increase my strength!"
Suddenly, the "Leader's" aura became even more powerful.
This caused the already fighting "elders" of the "Hundred Major Families" to have even redder eyes.
Before, they had fought with their lives on the line.
They were even more stimulated to lose their senses.
They even withdrew their gazes that had been fixed on the room where Jason was.
The few figures at the top of the pit did not withdraw their gazes, but a sudden fog obscured their view.
The few "elders" of the "Hundred Major Families" looked at each other perplexed.
Eventually, their gazes turned to Hera.
"My 'Inspiration' did not inform me of any danger."
And after such words were spoken, those restless "elders" from the "Hundred Major Families" could no longer contain themselves, and they leaped down, one after another.
However, before their feet even hit the ground, they were attacked.
First was "their" "Leader".
Next were those "elders" from the "Hundred Major Families" who had arrived first.
Compared to the "Leader's" clean and efficient reaping of lives, these "elders" from the "Hundred Major Families" were roaring continuously.
Facing such roars, the "elders" of the "Hundred Major Families" who jumped down later responded with cold laughter.
Amid the responses, they each activated their secret techniques.
Before even landing, the fierce battle began.
Complete pandemonium!
"I sacrifice the lives I offer personally to heal my wounds!"
"I sacrifice the lives I offer personally to heal my wounds!"
"I sacrifice the lives I offer personally to heal my wounds!"
Voices like these came from the mouths of various "elders" of the "Hundred Major Families."
In the end, when an "elder" from the "Hundred Major Families" who was less injured secured victory—
"I sacrifice the lives I offer personally to increase my strength!"
The aura subsequently strengthened!
Pondor and Dorco, standing at the top of the pit, could no longer hold back after seeing this scene.
The remaining "elders" of the "Hundred Major Families" followed closely.
Only Hera remained standing alone at the top of the pit.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go down.
But as soon as the notion crossed her mind, her "Inspiration" continuously warned her.
To a degree surpassing any she had ever experienced before.
In her life, she had encountered life-threatening situations no fewer than 10 times.
Each time, she had survived.
But now, the level of danger far exceeded those life-threatening situations.
Hera thought to herself.
What about the people down there?
Had the "Hundred Major Families" begun to fall apart?
The tumultuous thoughts clouded Hera's thinking.
Caught up in such a state, Hera entirely missed a glance that flashed by from the bottom of the pit.
It was from "their" "Leader"!
This "Leader" scanned over Hera with a heavy look of regret.
But... with his compensation, it should be enough!
The "Leader" thought as he turned his gaze towards the fog.
Then, this "Leader" stepped into the dense fog.
Just as he entered the fog, the "Leader" frowned.
Of course, what's more important is...
He couldn't find Jason's trace!
That damned Stealth skill again!
How did a guy over 2 meters tall with a build like a wrestler ever develop such powerful "Stealth" skills, unless some secret technique inherently came with it?
But what kind of secret technique would possess such ability, and yet I am unaware of it?
The "Leader" cursed inwardly.
As an old monster who had lived for a thousand years, one of this "Leader's" greatest interests was collecting secret techniques.
Perhaps he could not practice them all, but even the collective "Hundred Major Families" might not surpass him in the secret techniques he has collected.
After all, he had started doing this before the prototype of the "Hundred Major Families" appeared.
So, he could be certain, none of the secret techniques he knew had such ability.
Was it a secret technique created by Jason?
He acknowledges Jason is strong, but Jason is also very young.
He used a secret technique to confirm Jason's age.
Certainly not more than 30.
Therefore, even with immense power and Talent, without the Baptism of years or the wandering between life and death, it is impossible to create a secret technique.
In fact, the emergence of every secret technique is the effort of a lifetime, or even the effort of generations.
Thus, no matter what, he would never believe that this secret technique was created by Jason.
If not a secret technique.
Then there was only one possibility.
"Heh, Jason, there's no need to play such tricks!"
"You are undoubtedly lucky."
