The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1253

Four Dark Web guards immediately contacted their allies on the perimeter and rushed to Joanna's room.

The entire floor where Joanna had been was now eerily empty. Only a faint, strange fragrance lingered in the air.

Eira, who lived across the hall from Joanna, had also vanished without a trace.

It was clear that this was the work of the Dark Syndicate operatives.

They had used Illusion to abduct Joanna and Eira.

The Dark Web guards quickly sent out a message, alerting all nearby allies around Rosewood Apartments to intercept the Dark Syndicate operatives.

A psychic warfare technique like Illusion had not appeared in martial society for over 20 years.

Only warriors born with a rare type of spiritual strength could cultivate such a technique.

As a result, very few warriors were capable of mastering it.

Illusion-specialized warriors used hypnotic hallucinations to create false perceptions, confusing the sights, sounds, and even smells of their targets.

Once within the attack range of an Illusion-specialized warrior, the victim's mind would be completely trapped inside the fabricated illusion.

The World of Darkness, along with various national martial organizations, had once joined forces to suppress this sinister and bewitching form of cultivation.

For a long time, these warriors were forced into hiding.

Those who still practiced this art grew fewer and fewer.

Now, for the Dark Syndicate to bring Illusion back into play was a desperate gamble.

If they failed, it could draw the ire of martial forces from all over the world.

However, Caym believed that as long as they obtained the legendary super weapon system, the Dark Syndicate would have enough leverage to threaten the entire globe.

Even if Divine Drakebane survived, the Dark Syndicate could still use the super weapon system to challenge him with the ancient relic and the Golden Dragon pendant in their hands.

After all, Divine Drakebane held a deep affection for the land of Draconia.

No matter how powerful a war god may be, he has a fatal weakness as long as he has emotions.

And once there's a weakness, he can be forced to hand over the ancient relic and the Golden Dragon pendant.

As for the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance—they weren't even worth worrying about.

With the super weapon system in their grasp, the Dark Syndicate could crush them with ease.

Meanwhile, ten Dark Syndicate operatives were dragging Joanna and Eira with them. They had managed to break through four security checkpoints set by the Dark Web Assassins but were surrounded by a special operations squad led by Keanu.

The Mecria Secret Intelligence Division had once spent enormous sums to develop a countermeasure specifically for Illusion-specialized warriors.

In preparation for this mission, the special ops team had made meticulous plans.

Each operative was equipped with a helmet crafted using special technology that blocked psychic interference.

Wearing this helmet, there was zero chance that an Illusion would work on them.

The ten Illusion-specialized warriors from the Dark Syndicate had barely activated their powers when Keanu gave the order to open fire.

Before the warriors could even react, they were gunned down on the spot.

Keanu stepped up to Joanna and Eira. "Ms. Leif, I am Colonel Keanu, Deputy Director of the Mecria Secret Intelligence Division. The ones who kidnapped you are followers of the Dark Syndicate. They are evil monsters.

"They abducted you because of the bronze jewelry box and the Emberleaf Fans.

"All the forces within the World of Darkness have their eyes on those items.

"It's dangerous for you to keep them.

"Mecria shares a deep and long-standing friendship with Divine Drakebane.

"We consider it our duty to ensure your safety.

"To prevent something like this from happening again, we ask that you hand over the bronze jewelry box and the Emberleaf Fans to us for safekeeping.
