In the dark night, the magic beast forest today was filled with horrified screams, and blood dyed the soil.


    Dead bodies dropped like rain as all of their head were cleaved, and not only that, but their chest was all cut open, and their hearts were missing with their star watches and rings.


    This caused those people who came here with the intent to killpletely shudder, even those high and mighty experts with status.


    "Lord Fire Cannon connection has also been lost." A hobgoblin standing beside another hobgoblin said with trepidation.


    "I''m leaving." The hobgoblin said in his star watch before disconnecting it, and then he looked at the other hobgoblin beside him, "Order our men to retreat something is terribly wrong with this ce!" The hobgoblin ordered, and he turned around without hesitation.


    "Going somewhere?" A ghost-like voice suddenly rang, and before the hobgoblins could even react, their head was rolling as their bodies took a few steps before they fell down.


    Jacob scoffed, looking at the dead Hobgoblins as he went ahead and harvested their hearts before he took their star watches and one space ring which the hobgoblin was wearing.


    It only took him five seconds before he moved toward another target.


    "It seemed these guys are now nning to run, hehe." Immortika wrote.


    "But can they?" Jacob sneered as he entered 2X eleration, increasing his sense range even more, not to mention his speed.


    The renaming members of the other hunting parties now realized that they were not the ones who were hunting, but they were the prey here, and the hunter turned out to be none other than their prey.


    They knew the target was a wolf in sheep''s clothing.


    However, their retreating efforts were all turned into nothing but meaningless struggle as more blood-curdling screams reverberated in the vicinity, and those screams only belonged to those who were scared out of their minds.


    But as soon as those screams rang, they died down the next moment.


    "Gathered together, everyone! He''s hunting us down one by one, gathered together if you want to survive!" A booming voice rang in the vicinity, and it was filled with rage and panic.


    "We, the Universal Mercenaries, invite everyone to work together to fight against this fiend!" Another loud roar sounded like thunder.


    "Killer Skull Society gathered with the mercenary friends!" A heavy voice replied as those guys who were running like headless chicks started to snap out of their stupors, and they ran in those voices'' direction like crazy.


    They all now understand that they will be dead eventually if they continue to run like this, and the other party seems to know exactly where they are running.


    Even those top ten A-rank skulls realized that the Faceless Ancient wasn''t a target at all, but he was a predator who they had underestimated terribly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    So, they forget about their actual motive and decide to retreat from this death trap before reporting it to A-0. They had thoroughly underestimated Faceless Ancient, and they needed more than numbers to take down that guy.


    They couldn''t even trap him because they couldn''t even see him as if he was a ghost!


    Jacob stopped in this track as he looked in the direction of the voice and listened around, and smiled deviously, "Well, they''re making it even easier for me to get rid of them. All those guys are now gathering in one ce."


    "Now, this is what you called a true way to live. Just kill them all and take whatever you need once you have the strength. I suggest you kill everyone in the rare ins. Who knows, you might find more surprises like those two guys. No one can stop you. ahahha..." Immortika revealed its nefarious n.


    Jacob looked at the bloodthirsty suggestion and scoffed, "I''m only doing it because those guys provoke me first. Besides, the moment I start massacring every living being I see, I''m pretty sure I''ll be even more hated than the dark begins.


    "You yourself said that there''s a godly existence like Zodiac Will, so I want to avoid it as much as I can, and I''m pretty sure you wanted to do the same. So, stop with your moronic suggestions."


    "How do you know I want to avoid it? Hehehe..." Immortika questioned.


    "That''s something I want to know as well." Jacob candidly replied.


    "Curiosity killed the cat." It wrote ambiguously.


    "There''s not an option when curiosity is part of the cat. So, as long as you are on my side, I hope you will eventually reveal the problems, especially those that could get me killed." Jacob honestly stated, and he got no reply which he was not surprised about.


    Five minutester, "Did all of them gather?" He then asked as he didn''t sense any more scattered mob, and all of them were gathered in one ce.


    "128 extraordinary-tier-6 and 219 ranks not worth mentioning have been gathered together in arge group. What are you going to do? It better be entertaining! Hehehe."


    "I have collected enough hearts and some high-tier meat for a meal, so I don''t think I need their hearts anymore. The only thing they have valuable is their star watches, and some high-ranking members wore space rings. So, I can kill them without being worried about damaging their bodies anymore." Jacob ambiguously replied before the swords in his hands vanished.


    He then started moving in a particr direction and stopped when he was only two hundred meters away from the gathered mob.


    The next moment, he took out a two-meter weapon he ced it on the ground. This weapon consisted of four mainponents: a barrel, a base te, a bipod, and a sight.


    That was a freaking Mortar with magic markings all over it!


    Jacob then took out a 120 mm blue mortar round with propent rings, and it was a spin-stabilized bomb. He then loaded it in its muzzle and then set the barrel at a general angle between 45 and 85 degrees.


    Jacob then ced his hands on the trigger and pulled a murderous smile, "Let''s hope they won''t be sted apart by this basic type-1 mortar round!"
