Seeing the panicked guards scattering in every direction, the remaining members of the Everest Sect were struck by fear. They gathered their most valuable possessions and dashed toward the exits.
“Lieutenants, heed my command. Seal off the two primary exits and kill them all!” Isaac commanded with fury.
300 Dusk Soldiers’ lieutenants dispatched 40 among them immediately, rushing toward the eastern and western gates of the sect. The others split into squads of ten and stormed toward the center.
Without the support of the Elders and hall leaders, the guards and sect members were like lambs among lions. They were completely overpowered.
After witnessing the grim spectacle and hearing the screams in the air, Hera glanced at Isaac and noticed his eyes were ablaze with a blood-red hue. She sensed that the extent of the massacre might be too much.
“Isaac, you monster! Kill me if you dare!” Caesar, who was injured gravely on the ground, taunted as favonovel.com glared at Isaac.
“Rest assured. I’ll realize your wish, soon…” Isaac retorted as favonovel.com glanced at Lucius lying at his feet.
About half an hour later, a lieutenant approached Isaac and reported in a low voice, “Drakon, we’ve uncovered a treasury beneath the main building.”
“Extract everything,” Isaac commanded, unwilling to overlook the hidden wealth of the Everest Sect.
The Everest Sect lay in ruins an hour later. Its ground was strewn with bodies and severed limbs, presenting a horrible scene.
Hera had not endured the torment Isaac had faced when favonovel.com had been captured and tortured in the dungeon, nor the agony of being suspended by hooks through his shoulder blades.
Flames engulfed the entire Everest Sect as dawn approached.
Amid the cacophony of anguish and wrath, Lucius and Caesar were cast into the fiery depths beneath the main building by Lucas and Dragon One. Their howl echoed through the valley.
70 to 80 Dusk Soldiers’ lieutenants carrying dozens of boxes filled with gold, silver, and jewels unearthed from the cellar of Everest Sect’s main building rushed through the eastern gate.
On a high slope, Altair, Mizar, and Magnus observed the sea of flames before them. They could scarcely believe that the once invincible Everest Sect would meet such a grim end.
Beyond the astonishment that gripped their hearts, there was an unspoken admiration for Isaac’s merciless strategy and sharp foresight.
Isaac’s sudden assault had taken everyone by surprise. The Everest Sect lay in ruin as dawn broke. Its legacy was reduced to smoldering debris and the countless lives lost beneath the rubble.
Isaac and the others came down the mountain.
The buses they took made their way swiftly, heading toward the nearest city from the Everest Sect.
Isaac lay on his seat inside one of the buses, his eyes closed in repose.
Altair rose from his seat and approached Isaac, then tapped his shoulder gently, whispering, “Hey, with the treasure haul in the bus trailing us, have you thought about how to distribute it?”
Altair’s query piqued the interest of Mizar and Magnus instantly, who were seated further back.
Isaac’s eyes fluttered open and met Altair’s anticipating gaze. He responded with a light chuckle, “How much are you after?”
“Heh, I’ll leave that to your discretion. You planned this raid, and your crew uncovered the loot. Just make sure I get a fair share,” Altair remarked as favonovel.com rubbed his hands together eagerly. His eyes betrayed his greed.
Isaac glanced back, catching Mizar pretending to sleep and Magnus averting his gaze to the window immediately.
“We’ve got another target tonight. You ‘re welcome to claim whatever you find there…”
“Another target? What do you mean?”
“The Norton family…”
