The Barbarian was the leader of this mission, although he didn't know how they were ended up in this state or how he fell unconscious, he was sure that Jacob was far more terrifying than they were assuming him to be. They were underestimating him far too much because of this background!
When the guards were about to use everything to detain them, the barbarian ferociously looked at Jacob, who took out a sword and hatefully roared, "I'll see you in hell soon!"
The next moment, a blinding light suddenly materialized from his temple, and the elf was the same.
Heath's expression warped when he saw those icy cold lights, and quickly shouted, "He's about to use a self-destruct spell, quickly get away from him!"
Hearing his warning, those guards quickly gave up and retreated while using their defensive magic and treasures. Jacob was even faster as he was already running towards the exit of the corridor.
He has already decided to kill those two to remove any chance of them revealing his secret. But he didn't expect them to be so decisive and directly commit suicide in such a way. He finally understood why Heath was astounded when he found that Jacob had managed to capture Star Hackers alive.

Just as Jacob was about to open the door, a huge explosion rang, making the entire mansion tremble, and a powerful shock wave filled with a strange magic spread!
Jacob quickly used his treasures and magic to protect himself, but still, he was sent flying and blasting into the door leading outside because of the shockwave. It was simply too powerful.
After the dust settled, Jacob finally climbed out of the small rubble, with ssmall scratches which quickly healed. Other than his disheveled hair, he was completely fine.
'If that were an atomic expression, I would've been buried here. I should be thankful that atomic weapons are extremely rare in the unique plains…' Jacob thought as he looked at the corridor, which was still intact.
The dark room was made with extremely powerful materials, and that's why it was the safest place in the dark city; no one could force their way in without opening the door first.
Thanks to this, the passage and dark room were still fine despite these explosions, and the only damage was the broken door. He also sensed that the guards and Heath were alive, but they were still injured as four of them were coughing blood while Heath had a wound on his chest, and blood was gushing out.
They were all consuming pills, and potions to stabilized their injuries while crawling out of the passage.
"Dark Viscount, didn't you said it would take at least six hours before the poison wear off?" Heath angrily questioned Jacob when he saw he was completely fine while he and his men were in shambles. He felt indignant as he thought it was Jacob's fault for giving away inaccurate information, resulting in him and his men almost dying.
Jacob innocently replied, "I apologize Sir Heath, it must've been because I had never tried that poison on a peak unique rank expert before because it was extremely limited.
"Since it worked, I thought it would have the seffect, but I guess I have overestimated it, and it caused you all harm. How about I compensate your men with 10 Dark Credits each and 20 for your trouble? After all, I'm also the victim here."
Heath expression loosen a bit when he heard Jacob's words, he almost forgets that Jacob was also the victim so getting angry on him was unfair. Now he was even willing to give them dark credits which were extremely precious. So, he can no longer blhim.
He sighed, "There is no need for that. I wrongly blamed you in my anger. Please excuse us; we need to heal. You should have already gotten a new residence. I suggest you go there as well and leave this place to us. Once we are done investigating, Dark Rose will release your rewards and compensation.
"If we need you, I have to ask for you to remain available until the investigation is over. Oh, if possible, please pay a visit to Dark Marquis Fulwood. His lordship has already been notified about this incident and the Dark Marquis Jethro's betrayal.

'So, he belongs to Dark Marquis Fulwood faction? Now that Dark Marquis Jethro turned out to be a traitor, the people on his side would suffer heavily now. The biggest winner of this is none other Fulwood, since he is the only Dark Marquis left in the city.
'Furthermore, I need to use this twisely, as I have before the Star Hackers decide to reveal their intentions to the world. I have already collected over 8 thousand dark credits, so I should use them quickly and create 'it', I have already prepared the blueprint in voyage and need materials…'
He looked at Heath and nodded, "I will pay a visit to Dark Marquis to express my thanks. But before that, where can we exchange Dark Credits for materials and treasures?"
Heath was surprised a little before replying, "You just need to buy them with the Dark Shop. Everything available in the dark city is in there. As for delivery, Dark Rose will inform you of the time. If those things are available in this city, it would only take an hour or two to deliver. But if they are within the territory, it would take around 5 to 7 days before they arrived."
"Thank you for your information. I won't stop you here any longer. I also need to rest. Farewell!" Jacob thanked Heath before heading towards the carriage and the Marquis Estate.
As the carriage was entering the highest-level area of the Dark City, Jacob eyes shimmered with anticipation as he opened the Dark Shop and begin to look through materials' descriptions. Once he saw something useful, he would instantly purchase it.
He smiled cruelly when he thought about the ATLAS, 'The first weapon after integrating this world's magic technology and my own invention. As long as I complete this weapon, I won't have to worry about changing or creating more weapons again for a long time. Let's hope it will work!'
