Soul Devourer Chapter 6 Episode 27 — The Invisible Observer
Vlas, one of the〈Semi-Tsar〉and leader of the shadowy transcendent-class forces, abruptly came to a halt and silently raised his right fist.
At that signal, everyone advancing behind him immediately stopped moving.
Their reaction was disciplined and devoid of waste.
He had been tracking Yuito Matsubara with【Telescopic Vision】, but the situation had changed.
The target had turned around.
Moreover, he was closing the distance in a straight line.
So he noticed the pursuit... Well, some of them have low-level【Presence Concealment】and【Mana Concealment】. It was only a matter of time before we were exposed.
Vlas turned on his heel and surveyed all of his subordinates.
Though they were transcendent-class individuals, most were nothing more than major criminals and remnants of dark clans.
Yet at this moment, their eyes resembled beasts staring at a clear reward.
“The target has noticed our pursuit. We'll review the operation.”
His voice was calm, but there was no room for disobedience.
“First, I will use two items and thoroughly weaken the target. After that, the rear guard will remain behind. The vanguard will spread out while maintaining distance. Then...”
After a brief pause, Vlas continued matter-of-factly.
“The rear guard will launch a simultaneous attack and test the target's durability. Understood?”
Everyone nodded silently.
If they completed this mission, they would receive not only the reward money, but also “full pardon”.
That alone was the chain binding them.
Before long, Yuito Matsubara stopped roughly fifty meters away.
Their gazes met, and tension filled the air.
After glancing over the group, Yuito fixed his eyes directly on Vlas.
“You were at the meeting before, weren't you? One of Russia's strongest forces,〈Semi-Tsar〉.”
“...”
“Why are so many of you following me? Would you mind explaining?”
The moment the question ended, Vlas reached into his《Magic Pouch》instead of answering.
What he withdrew was the Mythical-grade consumable item,《Arcane Manacle》.
(E/N: The same talisman that the three dragons in China used, that time it's name wasn't mentioned but here I have given a proper name, hope y'all like it!)
The talisman was tossed into the sky.
In the next instant, it emitted a brilliant light, transformed into countless particles, and quietly dispersed.
…With that, all magic systems and skills of Yuito that consumed mana were completely sealed.
Without missing a beat, Vlas produced a second divine artifact.
《Balor's Scorn》.
A crimson crystal sphere.
The single crack engraved at its center slowly split open vertically.
What emerged from within was a grotesque, monstrous eye.
Anyone struck by its gaze would have even their passive skills sealed, while all of their attributes would be cut in half.
“…Alright.”
Vlas let out a short breath.
“He's been significantly weakened. In your current state, you'll kill him without fail.”
Then he declared in a voice as cold as ice:
“...Do as you please. Torture him to death.”
The moment the order was given, the rear guard unleashed their magic simultaneously.
Passing over the heads of the vanguard, spells from the hero-class fighters rained down upon Yuito Matsubara.
A deafening roar erupted.
Dust clouds billowed into the air, completely obscuring visibility.
At that very moment, Vlas produced a third divine artifact.
《Aïdoneus》, a Mythical-grade helmet.
It required no mana consumption and possessed an effect equivalent to【Phantom】, deceiving all forms of detection.
Its Rank was Mythical.
Therefore, even the Extra Skill【Omniscence】was no exception.
Absolute invisibility.
Having vanished from sight, Vlas quietly continued observing the battlefield.
…To measure the true individual combat power of the “monster” known as Yuito Matsubara.
