Nobody could tell what technique Caspian had just executed to be able to disappear and reappear right behind Darren.
The Raging Blade men shouted, "Watch out! Behind you!"
Darren was still stunned by the fact that Caspian had disappeared right in front of him.
It turned out that Caspian was already behind him.
Darren turned around and blocked Caspian's attack with the Black Moon.
But he didn't have enough time to prepare to deflect Caspian's attack.
As a result, the Black Moon couldn't block the attack fully, and the recoil hit Darren himself instead.
The Black Moon itself weighed 200 pounds. Darren was unable to handle the sudden recoil from the weapon.
Darren staggered and almost fell down, but he still held tightly onto the sword.
He had only gotten the sword after an arduous fight back then. Without it, he wouldn't be able to hold himself against Caspian.
Luckily, the back of Caspian's dagger was dull, or Darren might have already died.
Everyone else was shocked by the scene unfolding before them.
Willow and the others could finally relax after they saw that Caspian had gained the upper hand.
Although Caspian's Diatanium dagger was significantly smaller in size, he still managed to defeat the head of the Raging Blade.
The Diatoranian God of War truly deserved his reputation.
The Raging Blade men were still in disbelief.
Darren was kneeling on the ground. He raised his blade and drove it into the floor to steady himself.
"Sir!" the men shouted as they went to help Darren up.
Caspian and Tom didn't intend to stop attacking even when Darren was already injured.
It was the perfect opportunity to lay down the pressure.
Tom wouldn't just let Darren get away since he wanted to avenge Kael.
Aria remained by the women's side to prevent any accidents from happening.
The women knew it was best for them to stay where they were. They wouldn't be able to provide much help. The best they could do was not to cause trouble for Caspian.
"Retreat!" Darren shouted the moment he saw Caspian and Tom coming after him.
The battle had left him seriously injured. It was impossible for him to continue fighting Caspian at this point, and the only option left was to retreat.
Darren already realized that he wasn't a match for Caspian. The gap in power between the two of them was way too big.
He realized that Caspian might actually be a supreme grandmaster.
Darren trembled at the thought of a man in his 20s already being a supreme grandmaster.
It only strengthened his resolve to obtain the Black Moon Technique Scroll no matter what. He needed the skills to match the Black Moon itself. The sword would just be a regular weapon without the proper technique.
Darren decided to retreat for now and come back to challenge Caspian again after he had acquired the Black Moon Technique Scroll and learned its secrets.
The Raging Blade men had lost all motivation to fight upon receiving the order to retreat. They immediately dispersed across all directions.
Darren was furious as he watched his men scurry away like rats.
But he also didn't dare to linger around any longer. He immediately pulled the Black Moon out of the ground and fled the scene.
Darren might have been seriously injured, but he still had enough strength to flee.
Caspian chased after them when he realized that Darren and his men were trying to get away.
He decided it would be best to kill them right away, even if he couldn't capture them in time.
Tom was blinded by vengeance and didn't think about such matters.
Caspian waved his hand and explained, "Never mind. We can always look for other clues. Besides, Darren already escaped."
Tom asked, "What about the Black Moon?"
"It's still with Darren."
"I see. It's really unfortunate that my family heirloom ended up in his hands. If only I could get it back, I would definitely get even stronger!"
"The Black Moon is indeed a formidable weapon. Don't worry. I'll help you get it back."
Tom replied, "Thank you, Lord Caspian. We're lucky that Darren doesn't know anything about the Black Moon Technique, or he would be invincible with the Black Moon in his hands. I only hope that we can catch him as soon as possible."
Caspian explained, "I didn't expect that he could still run away despite his injuries."
Willow and everyone else soon approached the two of them.
At this moment, the ground was littered with corpses.
Aria was already used to seeing such sights.
However, Sherry was terrified by the gruesome scene.
Willow ran up to Caspian and asked, "Are you okay, hubby?"
Caspian replied, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Aria then stepped forward and asked, "Lord Caspian, what should we do with all the bodies?"
"Call the Inspector General and have her deal with it."
"Huh? Are you sure? What if she gives you trouble for what happened tonight?"
