A day later, Jacob stood at the beach of the island as a cold sea breeze brushed past his body. At this mont, a ship's silhouette appeared in his view as his lips curled up.
"He really ca." He muttered.
"Do you need my help?" Nyx's voice sounded in his head as she was done with the ogres and others, and she was busy learning different things Jacob had taught her. Still, she was a predator and couldn't help but get hungry when she saw fresh prey.
"Let's see, if he's alone, then let Autarch handle it, and if he's bringing others with him, you can have the rest." Jacob chuckled as he had his own plans.
"I never thought you were an insect person," Nyx replied with a hint of displeasure.
When she learned about Autarch's existence and its talent, she was clearly jealous since she thought Jacob only had her and didn't need anyone else.
"Don't make a fuss. Autarch has its own uniqueness, and you have yours. It can absorb the mories of others, which is extrely helpful for . As for you, you are still learning to control your abilities." Said Jacob impassively.
"Hmph, who do you like more, or that insect?" Nyx asked as she didn't like being put in the sa category as an insect. She had her own pride, and her background was probably bigger than fantastic insects.
Jacob shook his head helplessly as he didn't expect Nyx to react this way; she was like a brat, while Autarch was very obedient. He clearly likes the latter more.
"Of course, I like you more since you have more potential than Autarch. Still, we have to use every available tool in our arsenal to get what we want. Don't forget what I teach you." Jacob coolly answered.
"Hehe, you should've said this sooner." Nyx instantly becos happy.
Jacob chuckled as Nyx was very easy to trick.
Soon, the ship finally reached the beach, and three cloaked persons landed on the sand.
Jacob's eyes turned golden for a mont before returning to normal, and no one noticed it.
'He's testing .' Jacob's lips curled up as he didn't expect anything less from the Society Killer, who was as infamous as him and even more resourceful.
"I thought you were coming alone?" Jacob coldly said while looking at the three persons in front of him.
They were all tiny in front of him, and their power level was peak epics.
"Now, don't get angry. They are my trusted n, and they are very useful. I'm not like you, who can overpower the entire epic plains. But I have to say, damn, you're massive." The Society Killer's voice rang from the figure in the center as he removed the hood. A smiling barbarian's face was revealed with tattoos on his bronze skin.
However, Jacob didn't even look at him and coldly stared at the ship, "Don't play tricks with with a puppet. I might take it as if you're thinking of as a fool. Your true body is hiding in that ship. If you want to cooperate with sincerely, then co out or scram." He coldly said.
How could he not be on high alert in front of the Society Killer? He didn't even need Immortika to see through this façade as just activating his eyes of judge for a mont could tell him everything.
He Instantly saw all three of these people in front of him were attached through strings of magic, and the source was hidden in that ship. Furthermore, Nyx instantly told these three didn't have any dreamscape realms, which ant they were dead.
Jacob never expected soone other than Autarch to have such abilities to control puppets like this, and without Nyx or the eyes of a judge, he might never be able to tell on his own. The Society Killer was really sly.
"Oh?" The Society Killer's startling voice sounded before the barbarian's expression turned static, "I never thought you were so capable. Please forgive for the offense; I was just joking." Said the Society Killer.
At this mont, a small cloaked figure appeared on the ship, and he was the true Society Killer.
Once he landed in front of the three puppets, he waved his sleeve, and those three puppets vanished into his storage ring.
Then, he removed his hood, and a gray goblin face was revealed. His ash-colored eyes were filled with astuteness and a hint of shock.
"Nice to et you. I'm the Society Killer; you can call Ten." He bowed towards Jacob's polity.
It was Jacob's first encounter with a peak epic rank goblin, and he was far from normal because he could sense this guy was very close to the unique rank and awakened his spirit glyph. He even saw a vague outline on his skull when he opened his eyes of judge.
"Jack." Jacob nodded in acknowledgnt.
At this mont, the Society Killer, Ten, didn't even notice a black streak vanishing into his pointy ear.
Ten smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, "I hope you won't take any offense. You see, I'm just a weak researcher and very afraid of dying, and I won't trust anyone so easily. I hope you understand it better than anyone. Still, I never expected you would see through my puppet art so easily. You are really not easy to ss with."
His ash-colored eyes shimred in a deep light as he looked at the towering Jacob.
"Oh, an invisible force is trying to invade your mind. Should I burn him? I promise it'll hurt very much!" Nyx's surprised voice sounded. She was extrely sensitive to mind attacks and Jacob's defense against them.
Jacob's eyes went cold, "He's trying to use those puppet arts on ? I guess you can't trust a goblin, no matter what. No worries, it's not like I have pure intentions either. Just keep blocking it, and don't retaliate; it will be over very soon. He might have so other tricks to preserve his life, like the teleportation talisman. I'm too lazy to find his corpse." He ordered Nyx.
"Just like you, I'm also soone who is afraid of dying. So, I won't take offense. Let's head back and discuss our plan for departure. I want to hear your opinion."
Jacob nodded before he turned around, and Ten followed behind with his eyes still shimring brightly!
