Alec and the rest of the gang anxiously waited till dawn for the effects of the Orb of Captivity to wear off.
Finally, Jas and the remaining group of mages who had stood by him were able to erged from the imprisoning Orb Of Captivity.
"I’m truly sorry for what happened and the fact that my group, whose purpose was to protect and guide you, ended up trying to harm you,"
Jas admitted as he stepped out of the Orb, His embarrassnt prevented him from eting Alec’s eyes right away.
Following the battle against Kethra’s group, they attempted to communicate with Jas and the other imprisoned mages, only to realize that understanding their words was no longer possible.
Agnes then shared sothing she had read, explaining that so certain Artifacts that were designed to seal mages also had the ability to silence their voices after a certain amount of ti.
It was a chanism that helped keep the captured mages hidden, Fortunately, the Orb that Kethra had obtained turned out to be a replica, capable of imprisoning mages for a limited duration.

"Why do you feel the need to apologize?, It’s clear to that you had no part in the attack against , In fact, I’m grateful to you, Your advice likely saved us and minimized the extent of our losses"
Alec reassured Jas, his gaze shifting among their injured clan mbers, One of them was in critical condition, fighting to hold onto life itself.
As Alec observed the severe injuries sustained by Brandon, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry.
A fla bomb had torn through Brandon’s right shoulder, leaving deep wounds that required imdiate attention.
Up until now, he had been struggling with the mobility of his right hand, Alec had already ruled him out from participating in any future fights until they could find a way to help cure him.
"It’s still my fault in a way," he admitted with a sense of disappointnt.
"The fact that I didn’t even have control over my own group..." He paused.
"So, I wanted to ask, if I should eliminate them, would there be any repercussions?"
As he observed Alec’s expression, he realized that Alec wasn’t joking about taking such drastic asures.
It was concerning to hear such thoughts coming from soone so young, It made him wonder what kind of challenges Alec and his group had faced before, molding their ntal fortitude to such a level.
Curiosity piqued, Jas asked,
"Who is your instructor in the academy and what is his rank?"
Alec’s response caused Jas’ eyebrows to raise in surprise.
"Terran Dunce , a Tier 7 instructor level..."
Realizing that Jas was onto sothing, Alec sighed.
"You do realize why we were asked to co to the Abyss, don’t you?"
"I’m not that oblivious," he replied.
"The amount of danger we encountered just at the entrance of the Orckish forest was enough evidence that they wanted you dead, There’s no way a normal group of Tier 2 mages is supposed to survive that."
Jas smirked, his eyes glinting with amusent.
"I guess they never realized that your group is anything but normal, You’re no ordinary set of Tier 2 mages."
Alec nodded in agreent.
" And you know about the fact that Instructor Terran’s disciples have the highest death rate, right?"
"You don’t have to tell about your master, But would it be a problem for us to eliminate them?"
Alec asked again, pressing his sword against the neck of one of the tied-up mages.
Kethra had managed to escape, but the Magic Path mage called Oliver had been knocked unconscious by Legion’s last strike and remained tied up like the others.
"Well, let’s just say that for a normal mage whose master is an instructor, killing a student of another instructor wouldn’t pose any problems, as long as it’s justified," Jas mused.
"As the investigation unfolds, they would eventually discover the truth, But if a disciple of a instructor manages to kill the disciple of a great instructor, chaos will ensue," Jas explained.
"But with the instructor you have, you wouldn’t even have to worry, Your instructor is known for disregarding even so of the greatest instructors,"
Jas added, Arthur snickering at the mory of their unreasonable master.
"So that ans if I kill this group of mages, I’ll get away with it?" Alec questioned.
"Yes, but it might be better for you to let them go and report them to the academy, That way, their instructor would owe you so favors, and you would be seen in a new light by the academy,"
Jas suggested, a nervous smile on his face. However, Alec’s expression turned into a frown.
Suddenly, Alec’s Changdao moved with lightning speed He swiftly decapitated the first mage, leaving Jas staring at Alec’s unchanged expression.
As Alec carried out the executions with swift precision, swiftly taking the lives of all nine mages, his face remained devoid of any emotion.
Anyone who saw him in that mont would never associate him to be connected to the grueso beheadings of nine individuals that had occurred.
In an unnoticed act, Alec swiftly thrust his Changdao into the heart of a mage who had fallen while casting an ancient spell, Unbeknownst to the mages standing nearby
[< Blood Reaper skills – Blood Absorption >]
The remaining mages, together with the Gordon clansn, attentively observed as Alec’s sword drained the blood from the lifeless body, causing the corpse to grow pale.
The previously faint aura of his Blood killing intent returned to his back, seemingly replenishing itself as Alec absorbed the blood from the fallen bodies.
With each passing mont, Alec’s aura transford, assuming a sinister and dangerous air as a bloody cap fluttered behind him.
And The sanguine Arcane Lock crown atop his head only intensified this devilish charm.
Jas found himself blocked by the imposing figure of Titan before he could make a move.
Although he felt confident in his ability to handle Titan, he did not wish to give Alec the wrong impression.
Jas recognized Alec’s imnse potential and did not want to beco an enemy unnecessarily.
Alec proceeded to collect the heads of the deceased and stored them in his space ring.
"Don’t worry, once I return to school, I will personally report this incident to the disciplinary hall. They can conduct an investigation and make a decision regarding any punishnt," Alec assured.
"However, I will not allow anyone who has tried to harm or my clan to escape without consequences."
"Favors from the instructors an nothing to , Let it be known that those who co for should be aware that they might face the sa fate, I am not one to be trifled with," Alec declared
his words sending chills down the spines of the mages standing behind Jas, as if swords were being pointed at their necks from all directions.
However, the effects of the Blood killing intent were simply a manifestation of Alec’s anger , as it moved with his mood, he had not gotten to the point where he would be able to command it yet.
The reason why Jas remained unaffected was due to his advanced level, surpassing Alec’s ability to instill fear through his killing intent.
"I understand your perspective, not wanting to allow the tiger to return to the mountain," Jas acknowledged.
"So, do you still intend on guiding us?" Alec asked curiosity evident in their voice.
"Absolutely,"
Jas affird with a gentle smile gracing his face.
"I have given my word, and I am committed to seeing this task through to the end."
