Jay leaped up and was about to attack Lachlan. Seeing this, Lachlan quickly changed direction and ran towards the shadowy figure.
Boom!
The two of them collided with a dull thud. The air around them shook, distorting their surroundings. It was evident that both of them were incredibly powerful.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several other figures rushed in, each pulling out a gun and aiming at everyone in the hall.
"Don't move, or you'll die!" Their Priocia language sounded awkward and stilted, with a strong Skiola accent.
Kacper, Monty, and the herbalists were all scared out of their wits; they raised their hands above their heads one after another.
Lachlan's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, "So it has come to this?"
Scarlet paled with fear; she glanced over at Lachlan secretly thinking, "Is what he said true? Is someone really trying to harm me?" She had felt that the shadowy figure from earlier had been targeting her specifically. Fortunately for her though Jay had protected her just in time!
With Kreanford's top expert here, she didn't need to worry too much.
She wasn't counting on Lachlan to protect her.
"Who are you?" Jay asked coldly, staring at his opponent in ninja attire.
The other person sneered and took off their mask, revealing a sinister face.
"It's you? You're the one who absorbed the spiritual energy from that batch of raw stones, aren't you?" Monty exclaimed upon seeing the face.
Sagi Fujino chuckled and said in broken Priocia language, "Yes! It was me. So what? Do you want revenge? With him?"
He pointed disdainfully at Jay as he spoke.
"Arrogant! You're asking for it!" Jay exploded with anger and charged towards Sagi Fujino.
As Kreanford's top expert, he had been provoked repeatedly today and his anger had reached its limit.
Sagi Fujino laughed wildly and engaged in a fierce battle with Jay without hesitation. Everyone watched nervously as these two experts fought each other. Jay was Kreanford's top expert; he would surely be able to handle this situation. They wouldn't have any problems!
They all thought to themselves that they had confidence in Jay. However, after just a dozen moves, everyone's faces became increasingly serious. Even if they weren't warriors, they could tell that Jay was completely at a disadvantage.
How could this be?
This expert from the Skiola was so terrifying?
Boom!
Just then, with a muffled sound, Sagi Fujino kicked Jay in the stomach and sent him flying out. After smashing through a tea table, Jay coughed up blood and felt as if his organs had shifted.
He was already seriously injured!
"Half-step Grandmaster! It's actually a half-step Grandmaster!" exclaimed Jay in horror. His eyes were full of fear and his heart sank to the bottom.
He was an advanced Transmutation Force practitioner while half-step Grandmasters were equivalent to peak Transmutation Force practitioners who were only one step away from breaking through to become true masters.
The difference between advanced Transmutation Force practitioners and half-step Grandmasters was not just about levels but also about their abilities. The opponent not only had terrifying strength but also mastered Skiola ninja techniques with extremely cunning moves that he couldn't defend against.
At this moment, everyone present looked on in despair and panic as they saw Jay being beaten to the point of spitting up blood.
What? Jay had been defeated!
But he was a top expert in Transmutation Force's later stage!
Who can stop these people from Skiola?
Especially Scarlet, her pretty face turned pale and she couldn't help but clutch her own clothes tightly.
"Haha... Is that all the strength Priocia's sickly man has?" Sagi Fujino laughed wildly a few times before sneering, "They say Priocia's martial art is so powerful, but it seems like nothing special. Priocia warrior, including your soldiers are just garbage."
Hearing this made Jay so angry his face turned red again as he spat out more blood.
