Meanwhile, in the underground space of the villa, time slowly passed, and there was about an hour left before the midnight bell would toll.
A massive altar had almost been fully assembled, standing in the underground space, its dark, inky surface giving off a chilling aura. If one listened closely, they would hear the altar emitting a wailing sound, as if it were being swept by the wind. However, this was underground, and there was no wind. The sound was the wailing of tortured souls.
Charles was still waiting for the right moment. He had already activated the Darkness Cloak, donned the Substitute Mask for the Ten Person Council, and wore the Overlord Heavy Armor. In his right hand, he held the Black Gold Long Knife, and in his left hand, he gripped a bottle of orange quality Miracle Drug for Body Limit Release.
Miracle Drug for Body Limit Release
Quality: Orange quality
Description: This is a special elixir that, when consumed, temporarily removes physical limitations, boosting one’s strength by 1.5 to 3 times. It can only be used by Beast Masters of level 6 or below. Once the effects wear off, the user will fall into a state of exhaustion for three hours.
His physical state was now adjusted to its limits. All that was left was to wait for the perfect opportunity preferably when the two level 6 Beast Masters were separated, so he could launch a surprise attack.
Since the enemies weren’t aware that Charles had already entered the underground space, their vigilance wasn’t too high. It would be best to incapacitate one of the level 6 Beast Masters as quickly as possible. If that happened, the pressure on Charles would be significantly reduced when facing the other enemies.
He also needed to figure out a way to protect the children near the Heart of Darkness, ensuring they were not harmed.
“The time’s almost here. It’s time to get ready. Once it’s midnight, let those sacrifices serve their purpose,” one of the level 6 Beast Masters suddenly said.
Quickly, someone moved towards the Heart of Darkness, holding a weapon.
Charles immediately tensed up. If the enemies moved against the children at this moment, he would have no choice but to strike, but that would increase the risk substantially.
No one noticed the silent, tense atmosphere that had quietly descended. As the person holding the weapon drew closer to the children, the small, helpless kids began to tremble violently. Muffled cries gradually filled the air.
“Uncle, please, let us go. My mom is still waiting for me to make medicine for her on her sickbed!”
“Uncle, please, please!”
“I don’t want to die yet. I want to go home. I want my mom.” The slightly older child, who already had some understanding of what was going to happen, dropped to her knees in terror, constantly begging.
“Shut up. Don’t worry, your death will be slow, painful, and full of despair. Only then will you be a worthy sacrifice!” The person holding the weapon flashed a perverse smile.
He looked down from above at the weak and helpless children, feeling an indescribable pleasure in his heart. The feeling of controlling another’s life was intoxicating.
He casually picked out the first “lucky” child, lifting them into the air as if handling a helpless chick. The first chosen child trembled all over, despairingly closing their eyes.
“Please don’t kill me, okay? I’ve been good. My teacher says I’m a good kid, I will be very obedient,” the child, with eyes closed, desperately begged.
But what they were facing was not a being that could be called human. The man, without hesitation, raised his weapon, looking at the child’s body as if searching for the best place to strike.

“You can’t die immediately. You must feel the pain, feel your blood draining, your life slowly fading away, and then have Death appear before you and greet you.”
“This painful and despairing way of dying is the best.” The man’s voice was filled with excitement.
The child’s body began to tremble more violently, their voice coming in sobs: “Can you… please not tell my grandpa that I’m dead? He will be sad. And… can you bury me with my mom and dad? I miss them.”
Hearing these words, the member of the organization paused for a moment, as if remembering something.
Then, the excitement on his face deepened, and a wide grin appeared on his lips. He said with a smile, “Don’t worry, your grandpa won’t escape either. After I kill you, I’ll make sure he meets you. Hahahahaha.”
The child’s body stiffened suddenly, unable to suppress their fear and helplessness any longer, and they began to cry out loudly.
At that moment, the communication device on a level 6 Beast Master vibrated. A voice came through the device:
“Sir, there seems to be some movement outside. Should you come up to check?”
“Two people seem to be drunk, wandering around the villa.”
Quickly, the level 6 Beast Master turned to his companion and said, “I’ll go up and check. The closer we get to the critical moment, the more cautious we need to be.”
After speaking, the level 6 Beast Master immediately headed toward the elevator.
In the shadows, Charles let out a quiet sigh of relief. He put his phone back into his pocket and tightened his grip on the black gold long knife.
At this crucial moment, time seemed to slow down. The member of the Evil Organization, holding the child, was laughing with excitement as he slowly brought the weapon closer to the child’s still body, while the level 6 Beast Master moved quickly toward the elevator.
The laughter and footsteps intertwined, blending with the tension in the air.
Finally, as the elevator doors closed, a flash of blade light filled with murderous intent suddenly flickered in the darkness!
“Thud!” The arm was severed, arterial and venous blood spurting out, splattering like a fountain over the child’s tightly shut eyes.
“Everyone, close your eyes, stay still, it’s okay. I’m here to save you,” a calm and gentle voice rang out.
The children hesitated for just a moment, then all closed their eyes.
Without hesitation, Charles summoned all four of his mystical beasts.
The towering nine tailed demon wolf Max, standing at two or three meters tall and exuding a heavy presence; the Moon Riding Wind Falcon Mia, whose wings were as sharp as blades, soaring through the air; the Savage Gold Eater Beast, which had grown to about three meters long and looked extremely fierce; and finally, the shadowflying squirrel Mousie, which was the size of a fist but had exceptionally bright eyes, and immediately scampered onto Little Gold’s head.
Two platinum quality mystical beasts, one emerald quality mystical beast, and one diamond quality mystical beast instantly appeared before everyone!
“Damn! What’s going on? Where did this guy come from?”
“Enemy attack!”
“Has the defense outside the villa been breached?”
“Sir, there’s no enemy outside. It seems there’s only one enemy who came in, and it’s just a level 4 Beast Master!”
After a moment of chaos, the enemies in the underground space slowly regained their composure.
The level 6 Beast Master breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that the defense outside the villa had been wiped out, and that was why the enemy had silently sneaked in.
“Tell the other sir to return quickly. The Rituals and ceremonies for the sacrificial offerings are to be temporarily halted. Once I deal with this enemy, I’ll kill those children and then we’ll proceed with the relocation!” The remaining level 6 Beast Master issued his orders.
Charles was very clear that his time was limited. He had to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible in the shortest time.
Otherwise, once the Lsengard Beast Master army outside made a move, any enemies who had the ability to escape would definitely try to flee.
Now that the enemy hadn’t chosen to flee at the first opportunity, it meant that Charles’ plan had been effective.
“Mousie, use mimetic illusion to project Little Gold and have it protect the children!” Charles commanded decisively.
Mousie didn’t hesitate at all. Following Charles’ orders, it projected Little Gold, and under Mousie’s control, the projected Little Gold immediately curled up and positioned itself at the center, protecting the children.
Among all the mystical beasts, Little Gold had the highest quality diamond grade. Its defensive capabilities were also the strongest, and even though its level was somewhat low, a typical level 3 or level 4 Beast Master would be unable to break through its defenses.
Only in this way could Charles fully focus on the battle.
“Where did this level 4 Beast Master come from? How dare you come in alone? Tell me how you got in, and I’ll make sure your corpse stays intact!” the level 6 Beast Master growled as he summoned his own mystical beasts.
Behind him, one of the members looked at the mystical beasts Charles had summoned and, puzzled, said, “These mystical beasts seem familiar. Isn’t Charles, the genius from Genosha, supposed to have mystical beasts like these?”
“But the attacker in front of us doesn’t look or feel anything like Charles!”
Charles heard this person’s words. He had used an orange quality disguise item: Beast Transformation Flesh!
Not even a level 6 Beast Master, let alone higher level ones, could see through Charles’ disguise.
The real battle was about to begin. By now, the level 6 Beast Master who had taken the elevator earlier should have realized what was going on downstairs and was probably coming down. Charles didn’t have much time left; he had to end this quickly!
If this dragged on, Charles would have to face the combined attacks of two level 6 Beast Masters!
“Max, Mia, Little Gold, let’s go!” Charles called softly.
In the next instant, Max, Little Gold, and Little Gold transformed into three beams of light and entered Charles’ body. The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery activated!
