Every family has their “Secret Keepers”.
Unlike the direct descendants nurtured by the family, these “Secret Keepers” possess more complicated, bizarre abilities, but without a doubt, all who earn the title of “Secret Keeper” are powerful.
Especially the two “Secret Keepers” handpicked by Hera 10.
They also hold considerable fame within the Hera Family.
One mastered “Corrosion”.
One mastered “Binding”.
Together, their cooperation could give any adversary a migraine.
One had a sword piercing through his chest.
Neither of their defensive methods were of any use, let alone identifying how their opponent even appeared.
For this, Hera 10 would bear no grudges.
Who would blame the dead?
Especially when she herself was on the brink of death!
Hera 10 roared loudly.
Not only because the person before her eyes surprised her, but also because she needed to dispel her fear.
Under the threat of death!
The fear was tangible!
Hera 10 could feel it clearly, as she was about to suffocate.
Without hesitation, she activated her own strength.
If she hesitated any longer, she feared she wouldn’t have another chance.
Amidst her roaring, an unusual wave of energy appeared around her.
The invisible wind, centered on Hera 10, blew in all directions.
It also dispersed the fear that was as tangible as reality.
The spear in Hera 10’s hands thrust forward, with force as heavy as if it were a warhammer rather than a spear.
A Broad Blade Cleaver blocked the tip of the spear.
Under the fierce clash, the shaft of the spear uncontrollably bent, and then, quickly straightened out.
The air vibrated, and a crisp sound echoed.
The spear flew out of Hera 10’s grasp.
Before the spear hit the ground, Jason caught it in his hands.
Hera 10, whose palms were split open, was struck in the back of the head by the handle of Jason’s blade in a backhanded stroke.
After a muffled sound, Hera 10’s eyes rolled back and she fell straight to the ground.
Jason glanced at the unconscious Hera 10 and then fondly caressed the spear in his hand.
It tasted of chocolate!
This was the first time he had discovered an artifact from the Mystical Side on an heir of the Hundred Major Families.
And also, the first time he found a Mystical Side ability on an heir of the Hundred Major Families.
The uniqueness of the situation kept Hera 10 alive.
"The Hera Family, huh?”
Jason murmured to himself in his heart.
This family, composed entirely of females, was inherently special.
But to Jason, it made no difference.
As he turned his head to look at the ordinary members of this family, the “fear” affixed to his hockey mask once again spread out.
Two powerful ‘Hidden Ones’ corpses lay at their feet.
This made the ‘fear’ reach an extreme.
Almost instantaneously, they felt the suffocation that Hera10 had just experienced.
But unlike Hera10, they didn’t have the means to dispel the fear immediately.
Therefore, the outcome was inevitable.
"Don’t kill me, please!”
In an instant, the chasers dispersed like birds and beasts.
Billder watched the scene in a daze, unable to comprehend this power an ‘accident’ had bestowed upon him, even though he had heard of it and even experienced it.
Roslor, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Although prepared for death, who would truly wish to die if they could avoid it?
The doctor turned his head to look at the ‘Contactee.’
Pers, reborn from a close brush with death, knelt there, tears streaming down his face.
"Wuu wuu wuu, to live, it’s wonderful!”
"Look at this beautiful night scene!”
"Feel this cool night breeze!”
"I can even smell the fragrance of the soil!”
"To be alive, is truly wonderful!”
Pers kept muttering over and over again.
Seeing this, Roslor gently patted Pers’s shoulder as a consolation.
At that time, even he was worse off than Pers.
So weak-kneed that he had to rely on Billder’s Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
"Are we even close to the end?”
"Everything has just begun!”
Compared to Roslor’s ‘gentleness’ as a doctor, Billder was much more direct.
"It’s just beginning?”
Pers’s face changed color.
Subconsciously, Pers turned to look at Roslor.
Compared to the fierce-looking Billder, he trusted the gentle Roslor more.
"Hera10 was merely a ‘scout piece’ pushed out by others; the real enemies are those behind.”
"You’re right, aren’t you, Lord Jason…hmm? Lord Jason?”
Roslor was speaking while turning to look at Jason.
However, when the doctor turned his head, he found that Jason, who clearly had been standing right there, had disappeared.
The unconscious Hera10 on the ground was also nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Lord Jason?”
Pers looked bewilderedly at Billder.
He’d been so preoccupied with savoring the joy of surviving catastrophe that he hadn’t even noticed when Jason had left.
Billder shook his head with a grave expression.
The former security consultant had been vigilant all around.
Yet, he still hadn’t noticed when Jason had left.
Just like he hadn’t noticed when Jason had arrived.
If he truly had to face an attack from Jason…
Shivers ran down the former security consultant’s spine as he subconsciously thought about this possibility.
Then came an overwhelming sense of relief.
"Such a terrifying disparity!”
Billder murmured to himself.
The last trace of pride from the ‘mutation’ vanished without a trace from the depths of his heart.
