The man was in shock for a while, before letting out a loudugh.
"He''s dead. You''re all dead now! The Scepter of Death''s mine, ha!"
He dashed towards the throne, picking up the scepter gleefully.
The next second, he threw it at Lily coldly. "You''d better hold on to it and keep a close eye on that thing."
The deathly aura that the scepter emitted would attack the soul of whoever held it, and the man could hardly withstand it.
Only Lily was immune to this, seeing as she did not have a soul.
She took the scepter from the man obediently, limping to the side as she looked sadly at Wilbur''s body on the ground.
Just then, the manughed loudly at Isabe and Ryder. "You guys were pretty cocky just now, weren''t you? What changed, huh?"
Isabe helped Wilbur''s body up slightly, roaring at the man, "How could you do this to him? He saved your life!"
"I didn''t ask him to save me, did I?" the man asked coldly. "Anyone who tries to get their hands on the Scepter of Death is an enemy to me, and my enemies must perish! That includes you two as well!"
Ryder raised his super cannon without a word, aiming it at the man.
Just then, Logan dashed over to step in front of the man.
The man''s tone was impossibly arrogant. "None of you are any match for Logan now that your guy''s dead! That dumb rifle isn''t going to do a thing!"
Indeed, Logan was now the most powerful person in the room with his Sanctuary level powers.
Ryder''s tone was cold. "We''re members of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. You''ll be done for if you dare touch any of us."
"The Department of Paranormal Research and Defense?" The man''s expression shifted, but his tone remained cold. "You''ve already lost one of your men, who knows if you might me it on me! It''s best for all of you to be killed, so no one will know."
"I''ll leave with them. You can have the Scepter of Death. We can all be on our way, and I promise we won''t give you any trouble," Ryder said.
The man''s expression shed with hesitation.
He seemed to know about the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense and was visibly wary of it.
Isabe said at once, "We''ll stick to that, then. Let''s be on our way."
She lifted Wilbur up with all her might after that, preparing to take him with them.
Ryder still had his super cannon aimed outwards, wary of every move made.
Just then, however, the man let out a loudugh. "You f*ckers really think I''m scared of your dumb department eh? Who do you take me for, huh? Kill them, Logan."
Isabe was dumbfounded.
This bastard had been nning to get rid of them from the start.
He had just been screwing with them just now.
Just then, Logan slowly made his way over.
His body lit up with spiritual mes as he got closer, a wave of powerful spiritual pressure spreading out at once.
Isabe felt like she was about to suffocate, her legs shaking as she struggled to hold Wilbur up.
She was only a beginner Aura level cultivator, hardly anything to a Sanctuary level cultivator.
The pressure radiating from Logan alone was too much for her to handle.
Just then, Ryder pulled the trigger.
The spiral bullet shot out with a loud booming sound, hurtling at full speed toward Logan.
There was hardly anywhere for Logan to run.
Not like he had any ns of running in the first ce.
Logan let out a roar and an energy shield appeared in front of him.
The spiral bullet struck the shield, resulting in a powerful explosion.
The shield was destroyed, but the bullet was also blocked.
Ryder''s expression shifted, firing another two shots at once.
Yet Logan channeled two more shields, blocking both bullets beforeunching a punch a meter away from Ryder.
It was a terrifying attack.
Ryder threw the super cannon to the side, channeling all his spiritual energy to face the blow.
He was a peak Ambience level cultivator and definitely powerful enough.
It was a shame that it hardly meant anything in the face of someone at the Sanctuary level.
Ryder''s body was sent flying from the attack, crashing against a wall dozens of meters away as blood sprayed out of his mouth.
