How come this arcanist is invincible?

Chapter 75 Suppression of the Club

Although it was unbelievable, Sienna said nothing.

After all, the two were just ordinary teammates.

But Kane still caught a fleeting glimpse of disappointment and distress in her emerald green eyes.

I'm sorry, I have no such plans.

Kane silently apologized in his heart, then turned and left the Night's Watch outpost.

Reid took over the follow-up communication, and all he had to do was return to the club on Wednesday.

Back home in the Fifth District.

Kane looked at the first-level spell "Elemental Absorption," which was still grayed out on the skill panel.

"Without skill points, it cannot be unlocked directly for now, but..."

He looked at the new task that appeared on the panel:

Side Quest: Capture Adrian Belmont

[Introduction: The Night's Watch is determined to eradicate the Nameless Club. Your goal is to assist in capturing the mastermind during the operation, thereby obtaining clues about the demonic cult.]

[Reward: Skill Points * 10]

Kane nodded slightly.

Spells of level one or higher already consume significantly more resources.

Unlocking a first-level spell requires 3 skill points.

These 10 points are enough to unlock any three first-level spells for him.

"There's still a week left... Try to unlock 'Elemental Absorption' by practicing on your own as much as possible."

He calmed his mind, took out the transcribed spell scroll, and began to meditate.

……

Time flies, and it's already Wednesday night.

As usual, Kane and Talia set off together from the Mage Tower, taking a carriage to the Nameless Club.

Talia's smile remained bright, but Kane keenly sensed a deliberate distance in her words.

After nodding slightly, she took the lead and walked into the passage.

The corridor was deep and narrow, with torches on the walls casting long, yellowish shadows that stretched the two figures into varying lengths. The air was thick with the somber smell of dust and pine resin.

They walked in silence and soon arrived at the hall at the end of the hall.

Kane gazed at Talia's slender back and sighed softly:

"This fake relationship comes to an end today."

The hall was already filled with figures dressed in black robes.

Kane quickly scanned the area and found many unfamiliar faces mixed in, while some familiar faces he used to see were nowhere to be found.

Everett walked slowly to the front of the crowd, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"The ceremony has been successfully completed. From this day forward, I will be leaving the Nameless Club."

He raised his hand and pointed to Talia beside him.

"From now on, she will take over the management of all club affairs."

A murmur of regret rose from the crowd.

Immediately, all eyes turned to the girl who was no more than twenty years old.

With a faint smile on her face, Talia swept her skirt across the cold steps and slowly walked onto the stage, standing next to Everett.

The succubus power bestowed upon her by the sacred ritual gave her an alluring and seductive charm.

The firelight swept across her fair cheeks, even the curve of her eyes held a seductive quality.

The male apprentices cast eager glances at him, while some of the female apprentices looked at Kane with a hint of inquiry in their eyes, as if trying to discern something from his face.

Kane remained calm and composed, as if everything before him was irrelevant.

Talia looked at Kane, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes, but it dimmed when she met his calm and composed expression.

She quickly looked away, turned to the crowd, and spoke in a clear voice:

"Thank you for your trust. From this day forward, I will take charge of the club. I promise you all that one day, we will all become true spellcasters, no longer oppressed by the Mage Tower!"

A low, enthusiastic murmur of agreement rippled through the audience.

Kane sighed almost inaudibly.

Just then—

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a black-robed apprentice staggered in, his face deathly pale.

He staggered to his feet and shouted hoarsely at the crowd:

"It's terrible! The Night's Watch... has brought the city guards to arrest us!"

coming.

Kane's mind stirred slightly, and he arrived twenty minutes earlier than scheduled.

But he wasn't surprised that the actual actions might change.

But everyone else in the hall, including Talia, was thrown into chaos.

Panic spread across everyone's faces, and the earlier fervor vanished completely.

Talia instinctively looked at Everett, her eyes filled with panic and pleading.

Everett ignored her, his murky eyes fixed on Kane, filled with undisguised malice.

"It's you, Kane."

Kane?

Not Kate?

Talia froze, staring incredulously at the person she had once shared a bed with.

Everett's voice continued, tinged with a cold sarcasm:

"I saw you at the Gray Tower, and then you appeared again at the High Dome Tower... A personal apprentice, involved in this kind of club?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

His eyes held even stronger malice.

"Where exactly did you come from? A member of the Night's Watch? A lantern bearer? Or a lackey of some mage tower?"

Kane smiled faintly and offered no explanation. Even if he didn't make a move, the other party would eventually retaliate.

If he hadn't laid the plan first, he would probably be the one falling into the trap right now.

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the anxious crowd, his voice calm yet clear and distinct:

"The ritual's potion comes from a demonic cult, and will ultimately only turn you into vessels for demons—otherwise, why would those who 'succeeded' in the rituals simply vanish into thin air?"

He paused, then emphasized, "Surrender. You have nowhere else to go."

The crowd erupted in uproar. Some looked angry, clearly disbelieving; others had shifty eyes, showing signs of wavering.

"A pointless lie!"

Everett stepped forward, raised his arms, and shouted to the crowd, "He's bewitching you! If that's true, why am I still standing here?"

He suddenly pointed at Kane: "Kill him."

"don't want!"

Talia suddenly spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

All eyes turned to her, their gazes turning somewhat unfriendly.

Talia felt a pang of panic, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Killing him won't help... We need hostages, capture him!"

Everyone looked at Everett and saw that he had a gloomy face but did not object. They immediately understood and surrounded Kane.

Talia looked at Kane, who was surrounded by layers of people, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hardened her heart and turned her head away.

At this point, she had to distance herself from him.

The next second, the three closest apprentices made their move:

"Flame Arrow", "Mind Machine", "Freeze Ray".

Several spells were fired at Kane simultaneously!

At the same time, Kane recited in a low voice:

"Cloud and Mist Technique".

In an instant, thick white mist surged out, instantly engulfing the entire hall.

The torchlight was shattered by the mist, turning into a hazy halo, leaving only a vast expanse of white as far as the eye could see.

"Damn it! Where is he?"

"Grab him! Don't let him get away!"

"The city guards outside are about to storm in!"

A cacophony of roars and panicked cries exploded through the fog.

Kane held his breath and activated his "Water Manipulation Technique".

The omnipresent moisture in the fog became his most acute senses, clearly transmitting the location and movements of everyone in the hall into his mind.

His goal at this moment was simple: to buy time and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

But at that moment, he sensed someone raising their hand towards him from afar.

Kane felt a chill run down his spine.

It's that ghoul! He has the ability to see without being affected by the fog!

Without thinking, Kane suddenly rolled to the side.

Almost simultaneously, a ray containing a strange power suddenly struck his back.

Kane felt his whole body stiffen, as if his blood had instantly become viscous, and his limbs felt like they were filled with lead, making it incredibly difficult to even lift his hand.

My strength was draining away at an alarming rate, and even my heartbeat slowed down.

"...It's the second-circle spell 'Weakening Ray'!"

His movements suddenly slowed down as he tried to recover using his immortality, but the power of the spell was still entangled within him, resisting the reversal of his special ability.

In his perception, the ghoul's figure was rapidly moving towards the passage at the back of the hall.

There, the main sewer system of the Sixth District is connected!

Oh no! He's trying to escape!

Kane was about to give chase, but his movements were still slow. In his senses, a dark figure broke through the thick fog like a ghost, holding two daggers in its hand!

Kane's pupils contracted sharply.

They are silent killers!

As a wanderer class exclusive to the Demon Cult, experts in stealth and concealment, they are naturally not afraid of the concealment of the Cloud Mist spell.

"However, I'm not just good at close combat,"

Kane threw two potion bottles, which shattered.

Two bottles of dark potion, condensed under the influence of water manipulation, mingled with the mist and seeped towards the mouth and nose of the Silent Assassin...
