Chapter 69
“There he is…! Shane, this time, no one can stop me from breaking him. Do you have anything to say?”
The voice of his twin sister brought him back to reality as he glanced at Oliver with some wariness.
‘Is this really going to be fine…? Why do I feel so uneasy…?’ Shane shivered slightly.
He felt as if he was being stared by the entire sky at the moment. His back was covered in chills.
“Shane!” His sister tugged at him as she saw him dazed, she wanted to hurry and teach Oliver a lesson he would never forget, but for some reason, her calm brother was acting weird for a while.
‘I am feeling nervous? Of what? Of this weakling?’
Shane gritted his teeth, why was he being like this!?
Was he a coward?
No!
He belonged to one of the greatest exorcist clans in the entire world.
His blood was divine, his arts were superior, and he was stronger than any of his peers!
How could he be nervous of facing a pathetic bug they had crushed not long ago?
Whether it was now or before, a bug was a bug.
It cannot compare to someone like them.
They were superior in every way imaginable.
It was a typical trait that was found in all the children of the Mystic Purge Clan.
Arrogance and Pride!
They did not like to be looked down upon by others no matter what.
They would be easily triggered by the tiniest of the details…
They would use strength to establish dominance in all scenarios!
Shane looked at Oliver’s back with keen eyes, there was still a hint of caution in his eyes but that was soon clouded by the anger and greed.
He looked at his sister and finally said, “Alright, we will do as you say.”
The girl’s tender face broke into a wide smirk as she saw her brother agree finally.
Crack!
Cracking her knuckles, she looked down at their target and said, “Then what are we waiting for? Follow me, I will start.”

‘They moved…’
Oliver did not stop looking at the blank air in front of him as he sensed the two move from their position drawing closer.
Why did he not stop looking?
Because instead of invisible air that was supposed to be in front of him was a black floating screen.
[Ding! The target has mastered the martial arts technique: Fading Single Deception Strike!]
[Ding! Obtaining 10x benefits. Eternal Twelve Lies Palm has been obtained!]
[Integrating…]
A sharp pain assaulted his mind as his vision started to blur for a moment, his balance shifting.
He had a feeling of nausea, but he quickly adapted thanks to his prior experiences.
A flood of dense information about the Eternal Twelve Lies Palm entered his mind, a series of moves and arts.
He felt slightly dizzy as his muscles and nerves started to shift and adjust.
Crack! Swish!
Popping sounds started to ring in his ears as he felt his bone adjust to the experience that came along with it.
This was all due to the terrifying amount of experience that he received.
His muscular system, nervous system, and organs adjusted to bear the power of the technique.
He felt slightly happy that he had been regularly training himself or this experience would have directly caused his mind to break in pain.
He could not imagine how his weak untrained body would have managed to bear the sheer stress placed on it due to this technique—he would have directly collapsed under this pressure.
Nadia had somehow mastered Fading Single Deception Strike in the middle of the forest, it could be due to the fact that she was finally exposed to demons that her growth suddenly accelerated.
Fading Single Deception Strike… This technique allows the user to deliver a deceptive blow, appearing to fade from sight just as it lands. Its benefit lies in its ability to confuse opponents, making it difficult for them to predict the attacker’s movements and defend against the strike.
On the other hand…
Eternal Twelve Lies Palm, this is way more potent technique, an evolved version of the previous one.
This allows the user to conjure twelve potent illusions with a single strike.
Each illusion can be shaped into its own form as per the user’s will and movements—confusing the enemies with a multitude of deceptive moves.
It’s so effective that it’s no longer a deception but a straight lie!
Thus the name Twelve Lies!
It overwhelm the enemies with a barrage of illusions, with a heightened versatility as it can deceive multiple opponents simultaneously.
It has increased potency too since each illusion has the potential to strike independently, making it way more lethal!
‘Haha…’
‘What a great timing…! I just have the perfect targets to practice this on.’
His eyes narrowed as he felt the two sneaky figures close up to him.
They were now just behind him.
He turned around and was now face to face against the two siblings.
Memories of the past where they had brutally beaten him appeared making his blood boil slowly…
“You’re here?”
He looked at the two and said with a smile.
Shane who looked at his unsurprised and calm expression had a burst of ominous feeling in his heart once again.
‘Why is he so calm…? Was he expecting us? Was he aware of our presence… that can’t be…’
His mind suddenly thought of countless possibilities but just as he was thinking about them, his impulsive sister spoke up.
“OH? Look who we have here? It’s the little maggot who dared to be rebellious against his elder siblings earlier?” She said sarcastically.
“Where are your manners? How about kneeling down and kowtowing to us for your rude behavior from earlier? Come on, show your respect!”
She said as waves of espera escaped from her body targeting Oliver to make him feel a dose of her power.
She was expecting him to be thrown back by this, he, a being with minuscule espera would not be able to contend against her with abundant espera.
However, contrary to her arrogant expectations, the reality was far different.
Oliver snorted and stood unmoving as he let the espera waves hit him.
His body was tough and his strength level was 4, not something that could be thrown back with this girl’s little espera.
Oliver stood unshakable, his gaze condescending as he looked at the puzzled and surprised face of the girl.
“Respect? Do you deserve it?”
