The Zeus academy is in so much chaos that they didn't notice Jade was missing.

That was not their first priority anyway. The elders and instructors were deployed to catch the managers. At this moment….

Within a secret room created under a bar in the outskirts of the city.

Icarus and Ivar are sitting together. Their bodies are drenched in blood, even though it is not theirs. They had slights smiles on their faces as they looked at each other while looking through the contents of the spatial rings of the people they just killed.

"Can you imagine doing this a couple of months ago?

"

Ivar asked and took out a wine bottle from one of the rings. He took a huge swig and passed it to Icarus.

"I certainly wouldn't have. After all, my goal was to demolish the Olympian academies, not to mindlessly kill a bunch of fourth graders. If that was all what I wanted to do, I would have done it by myself a long time ago.

"

"True that.

I am actually surprised that you even agreed to this.

Needless violence is so unlike you.

"

"How is this needless? If killing these disgusting creatures could destroy the academies, I would have done that a long time ago too. Since this is a part of a bigger plan, I don't have any qualms about it.

Anyway, my headcount clearly shows my commitment to the cause.

You, on the other hand.

"

"I am only a four behind. Not forty. No need to make such lame accusations. Don't forget that I was the one who got you onboard with Sam in the first place.

"

"Whatever. Competence is what matters. Not the seniority in whose participating started first.

"

Icarus paused and stood up from his spot. He looked into the screen of his wristband. Ivar did the same before picking up his axe.

"They are here. This is going to be a tough one.

"

Ivar muttered and both of them jumped up high from their original spots.

*CRASH*

They broke through the ceiling of the room and entered the bar. A bunch of people were shocked at the sudden arrival in such a flashy way. More than ten fourth graders mostly of Zeus academy and a couple of them from other Olympian academies are standing there.

They just entered the room and were about to take their seats in the empty bar.

"What took you guys so long? We have been waiting for a while, you know.

"

Ivar said as his energy surged into his axe.

"What…

"

One of them was about to speak, when Icarus made his move, followed by Ivar.

*CRASH*

Two minutes later.

Ivar and Icarus stood among the rubble of the now collapsed bar as they looked at the dead bodies of the ten fourth graders lying headless around them. They swiftly collected all the spatial rings and Ivar lazily stretched as he looked at Icarus.

"What do you want to do? Leave or confront?

"

"Of course, we need to confront. How could I let one of my former instructors not have a great welcome when he came all the way here in search of me? Right Instructor Gawk?

"

Icarus spoke out loud. A shadow man came out from behind a nearby building. As it moved forward, the shadow slowly transformed into a human form. It is a middle-aged man with a clean shaven face and short hair.

His attire is nowhere flashy. It is just a common shade of grey. He held a dagger in his hands as he walked forward.

He is one of the instructors at the Zeus Academy. He is not really popular. But he is known for his stealth movement techniques, agility based trainings, dagger usage and one hit kill methods.

He is really good at that to the point, some people just take his course so that they could understand how the assassins operate so that they could avoid them.

Icarus was also part of his class.

"It seems like you haven't slacked off Icarus. You did have the talent anyway. Now it looks like it came to fruition.

To think that you can spot me.

"

Icarus and Ivar chuckled at the same time. Only both of them knew, how they managed to find him hiding nearby. It is the easiest and most direct way to find someone in the Olympian region. That is tracking them with their own bird puppets.

Icarus and Ivar noticed that man while they were in the middle of fighting, they didn't react, but they were very vigilant of him. After all, his cultivation is higher than both of them. They need to be careful. With his experience of being an instructor, they need to be much more careful.

Icarus and Ivar didn't reply after that chuckle, they just willed for something to appear in their hands. Their spatial storages granted the wish.

A metallic glowing glove appeared on their right hands. Both of them felt a surge of energy. The surrounding divine energy is entering their bodies at an increased rate.

The glove itself of course, gave them a huge boost.

It also gave off some sort of sinister aura though.

"You really think that you can fight me with your Divine Plane Initial stage Consummation cultivation? I am at the middle stage. You might be geniuses, but this is a stretch for you. You could do that when you are still in Mortal Plane.

Even in the early stages of Divine plane, it is fine.

You are in the final stages. You are all so close to the god hood. Don't be so delusional.

"

"We can try.

"

Icarus muttered and he made a move. He punched out towards Gawk.

Gawk didn't bother to dodge the attack, he was about to block it. But right before that fist could touch his own hand, he felt a trepidation like no other.

The glove started glowing with a unique pattern. The energy induced in the glove, the energy condensed in a certain way to execute Icarus' own punching technique…

It started resonating with the surrounding energy.

Energy overly emitting by the glove itself is condensed in the surroundings. Three more swirling fists condensed of pure Divine energy appeared on either side of Gawk while Icarus came at him from the front.

Gawk widened his eyes and…

*SWOOSH*

His body hurriedly turned into the shadow and disappeared into his own shadow. He slipped past the three fists.

*BAM*

The three fists collided at the spot creating an explosion.

Gawk who was just inside the shadow, felt the tremendous shockwaves from that explosion. He hurriedly moved past and just when he was about to come out…

*SWOOSH*

The large axe condensed purely out of energy was being swung at him at an incredible pace.

The axe head brushed past his head cutting off a few strands of his hair.

*BAM* *CRASH*

The axe landed on the road, destroying everything within a few hundred meters radius, collapsing every single structure that there is and successfully built up a gripping fear in the heart of Gawk.

Right now Gawk was stunned beyond belief. He couldn't comprehened, why there was such an artifact that could amplify one's power so much was not snatched by anyone yet.

That's right, he doesn't even care about the mission that he had. To capture these two.

His focus was shifted to the gloves that they had on.

Icarus felt his glove's glow is reducing a bit by bit.

That is to be expected. After all, it is not a long term use tool. It is an expendable thing. No matter how advanced that person in terms of cultivation or how advanced the technology behind that glove was… it was made to be an expendable for the fights like this.

Sam used the resonance tech he hasn't used in a while to create these gloves for the managers. They are now part of a new series of weapons and equipment that he is researching.

These gloves carry a lot of energy in the form of the special energy cells that Sam created using the mechanisms of the hub. It is very similar to the artificial spiritual energy core that he created to rebuild Stone's body.

The energy stored in each cell was obtained from the elders and instructors of the academies. The energy is now being used as not just the power resource, it also provides the mechanism to achieve the resonance as well.

Since the resonance attacks need the surrounding atmosphere, Sam decided to make some tweaks.

The energy cell will provide that energy and also increases the speed of the resonance process.. When an attack is made, the mechanism inside will be triggered. It will discharge the energy and make it condense together.

The discharged energy will be subjected to resonance.

The attack they made will be replicated because of the resonance affect and voila, multiple attacks at the same time. The only drawback is that they are not strong enough and they cannot mask the backlash for using high level items.
