"Then why did you use the Purple Shadows at the start? In that case, your people would have to survive." Fein asked the doubt he had in his heart.

"This..." Kassandra hesitated for a moment.

Carlos and Jack flinched when they heard this and looked at Kassandra.

"Because my ability has a long charging time. All ability has restrictions, and that's mine."

Although Kassandra was aware that explaining your ability in front of a stranger is an act of idiocy, she had to clear up the misunderstanding.

Jack heaves a sigh after hearing Kassandra's side. At the same time, he looked at Fein, who puts her on the spot.

"Oh... I'm sorry for asking such a sensitive question." Fein scratched his head.

Carlos smiled, "It's okay,"

"You're also a degu user right?" Kassandra looked at Fein with doubt. "I can't feel an ounce of degu energy within you."

'Of course, I can control my degu energy perfectly.' Fein thought in his head.

Fein nodded with a smile. "With enough practice, you can also do it." he chuckled.

'Hmmm... just how much control a person should have to do that?' This thought passed inside Kassandra's head.

This is the first time she saw someone who could conceal their degu signature with pure control. Because even the strongest master in their kingdom can only lower his degu energy, but he can't really completely conceal it.

'How can I kill him without knowing his strength? This is a problem... Should I just let him be?' Kassandra was in a dilemma. 'But he knew too much, and I had revealed my ability's weakness to him.'

Kassandra became commander not only because of her strength but also because of the way she handled things. Letting Fein getaway had a risk of their information spreading, and she knew she had to silence him no matter what.

Kassandra raised her eyebrows at Carlos and Jack. Her subordinates nodded at her.

Carlos stretched his hand to Fein and smiled. "Nice meeting you."

"Me too," Fein smiled back.

They shook each other's hands, but Carlos suddenly gripped Fein's arm with all his strength as if he intends to crush it.

*whooaasshhh!*

Jack looked at the back of Fein. 'With Cedrick holding, you won't escape this. I'm sorry.' Jack took out his sword and waved it at him.

Kassandra looked at Fein coldly, "You just have to show yourself, if you just minded your own business you wouldn't have to die like this." she muttered.Carlos felt something was wrong. He felt that what he was holding wasn't a person's hand but unmoveable steel.

'Damn, he's strong,' Carlos cursed inwardly.

Fein looked at all of this with amusement. In fact, he was already aware that there was something wrong with them. He looked at the incoming sword in his back and just let it hit him...

*Clink!*

The sword collided with Fein's body, producing a metallic sound. The sword didn't even manage to inflict a scratch on his body.

'Too weak.' Fein couldn't help but sigh. "Chill... y'all are too serious."

Kassandra, who saw this, turned serious. She took out her divine rapier in her hand, "I'm sorry, we have to kill you since you know too much."

"But I'm an Official Organization member. Killing me won't do you any good." a smirk appeared on his face.

"That's if you can escape alive," Jack bellowed as he continuously slashed Fein's body with all his strength, using his sword.

Carlos, on the other hand, gave him a barraged of punches.

'If this is a game, I won't even lose one hp with their current attacks.' Fein just felt like someone tried to itch him with a broom with their attacks.

Kassandra's lip twitched seeing her subordinates' futile attacks. "Stop!" she commanded. She doesn't want to embarrass themselves any further. At the same time, she became warier at their opponent.

'It seems my instinct didn't lie to me,' Kassandra thought.

Fein on the other hand used probe ability at the three of them to see their strength.

'Well. What can I say...' Fein scratched his head. 'These guys are already strong compared to the majority.'

​ Fein turned his head at the two who had stopped attacking him and at Kassandra. "How about we stop this farce?"

"Okay," Kassandra nodded, "we can't do anything with your strength."

"Well..." Before Fein could even finish his words, a rapier instantly appeared one inch closer to his neck.

He squinted at the speed of the attack. But with a simple 'Flashing Dash', he managed to avoid it.

'This girl is fucking sinister!'

One moment, she was talking with him. But next moment, she would suddenly assult him!

"It seems there's no use talking with you." Fein snorted.

'Probe!'

'It seems she deserves the title of commander.' Fein finally saw a worthy person with an interesting ability.

'her way of doing things was meticulous. She's suitable to lead one of the squads in my future organization' His eyes shined, thinking of having a capable member with strong summoning ability.

Kassandra is just a perfect candidate, and she's also an experienced commander.

Thinking of this, Fein stared at Kassandra with a glint in his eyes.

"Why are staring at me like that?" Kassandra said with her usual deadpan expression, "Although you dodge my first attack, you should know that it's not my full strength."

"I'm really not here to fight," Fein said.

He wants to talk about things again one last time, but it was useless.

"My minions rise!" Kassandra ignored Fein.

Just like what happened earlier, an earthquake ensued and purple shadows rose from the corpse of the dead bodies.
