Just in ti!
"Elijah!" Lily called out happily as soon as she saw him.
"Good job!" Elijah said, patting Lily's head. "Let's take care of these people first, then we can talk."
As he spoke, Elijah removed the short-handled hamr from his waist and started walking towards Jacob.
He wasn't worried about Charlotte. A defensive-type ability user wouldn't be able to pull any tricks. But this strength-type ability user could be dangerous if not handled carefully.
Jacob watched Elijah warily. Rembering the spear that had easily pierced through Theodore's stone skin and the tree trunk, he realized Elijah was also a strength-type ability user.
"Damn it, Isaac's getting killed! Didn't he say the guy had invisibility powers?" Jacob gritted his teeth in frustration.
They ca with seven people, and now only three remained. One wasn't putting in any effort, and the other, who was putting in effort, was being overwheld.
Jacob glanced at Isaac, who was struggling under Charlotte's relentless attacks. His clothes were in tatters, and his skin was covered in wounds.
If not for his strong defensive abilities, he would have been killed multiple tis already. Defeat was only a matter of ti.
Now, Jacob faced two strength-type ability users. He imdiately thought of retreating. As long as he stayed alive, he could seek revenge later.
Having made up his mind, Jacob didn't hesitate. He turned and ran, leaving Sophia stunned. She had also been planning to run but didn't expect Jacob to act so decisively.
"Trying to run?" Elijah sneered. "Once you're on this island, you can't leave!"
With a swift move, Elijah chased after him. Jacob sensed the pursuit behind him. The pursuer was clearly faster than him. Fortunately, the beach was not far. Once he reached the water, he would be safe.
He channeled all his energy into his leg muscles and bones, increasing his speed. But the next mont, he felt sothing off with the ground beneath his feet. His right foot seed to slip, failing to grip the ground properly. Due to his montum, his body surged forward, causing his left foot to slip as well. His legs spread apart in a painful split.
"Rip!" "Crack!"
The sound of his pants tearing and his bones being forcefully pulled apart echoed simultaneously.
"Damn it!" Jacob scread in pain. The intense agony in his groin almost made him pass out, but the cold touch kept him conscious. He braced himself with his hands, sliding forward in the split position until he was off the ice.
"Why the hell is there ice here?" Jacob cursed, shivering as he tried to stand up but failed twice.
"Ha!" A woman's bright laughter rang out.
"Hannah, your ice ability always makes for a good laugh!" Fiona covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
Hannah, on the other hand, looked at Jacob expressionlessly. Jacob then realized that two won had been hiding nearby.
And these two won were the sa ones they had seen scouting earlier.
"Ice ability..."
Jacob's heart went cold as he realized why he had slipped.
"Run, we have to run! There are too many of them with abilities, we don't stand a chance! Isaac, damn it!"
Jacob gritted his teeth against the pain, standing up with trembling legs, ready to continue fleeing.
"Hey! Hey! Don't move recklessly!"
Fiona warned Jacob, then two jade-like bone spurs aid at his eyes.
"These two bone spurs of mine are very sharp! Move and I'll pierce through your brain!"
"...Telekinesis?"
Jacob was horrified.
At this mont, Elijah finally arrived.
"Well done!"
Elijah chuckled.
"What should we do with this one?"
Fiona was unsure of what had happened over there. She and Hannah had heard from Grace about the group's walking route, so they took a detour to intercept them to prevent their escape.
"Kill him!"
As Elijah's words fell, two bone spurs thundered into Jacob's eye sockets.
"Crunch!"
Jacob didn't have ti to react, feeling darkness engulfing his vision as he lost consciousness.
Fiona's actions were so swift!
Elijah hadn't even reacted.
This guy... was just being polite to ?
Elijah muttered.
He noticed among the won, Fiona was the least averse to killing.
Just like in the mall earlier, she was decisive and resolute!
Plus, her clever mind.
If she were an enemy, she would indeed be a headache!
Fortunately... she's on his side now!
"Let's go, back to check on Charlotte!"
Elijah called out to the two.
Fiona pulled the bone spurs out of Jacob's eye sockets.
The bone spurs, pristine and untouched, remained as white as jade.
But instead of returning to Fiona's side, the two bone spurs flew towards a nearby tree.
"Wait, there's still a little tail here!"
Fiona looked towards behind the tree.
"Little girl, I believe you've seen the power of my bone spur. I advise you not to act rashly!"
Behind the tree, Sophia raised her hands and walked out helplessly.
"Hmm? There's actually soone else?"
Elijah was sowhat surprised!
But Sophia was even more astonished.
She hadn't expected this woman to be so sharp.
You see, her perception ability not only allowed her to sense enemies but also slightly diminish her own presence.
Although this reduction was very faint, in the pitch-black night, it was extrely difficult to be noticed by others.
That's why she hadn't been affected during the lee with Jacob and the others.
As long as she deliberately hid, people would subconsciously overlook her existence. When Elijah arrived, he hadn't noticed her presence either.
So, after seeing Jacob flee, she followed suit, thinking of slipping away while she had the chance.
She hadn't expected soone to intercept her here and discover her.
"I'm not with them, I just asked for help and ca here reluctantly to help with vigilance!"
Sophia dropped the harpoon in her hand and spoke calmly.
"Vigilance? It seems you're a power user? I didn't notice you just now, was it also your ability at work? What is your ability?"
Elijah asked with interest.
"I can sense the movents of living beings within a certain range and diminish my own presence!"
Sophia replied honestly.
"Tsk, so you were sought after to counter Daisy's ability, right? That's quite clever!"
Elijah suddenly understood.
"That's right, they said there are two invisibility ability users on this island. I was asked to co mainly to be vigilant against these two people."
