Vega was stunned as he watched everything unfold just now. He couldn't help but burst out, "I told you to quickly destroy the enemies, not blow yourselves up!""Taking the grenades and rushing to self-detonate — where the hell did you get that idea?"
He looked at the three remaining Black Shadow Warriors standing quietly before him and slapped his forehead in frustration.Well, these Black Shadow Warriors are powerful, no doubt, but their judgment leaves a lot to be desired!
He wasn't sure how long it would take for the dead Shadow Warrior to be summoned again, hoping that it would disappear completely if not revived.
Thinking this over, Vega focused his mind on the Ghost Mask and instantly sensed that besides the three Shadow Warriors he could summon at any time, there was also a group of weaker ones.
Concentrating on those weaker warriors, a message appeared in his mind:It takes one day to cool down after being weakened; a Shadow Warrior can only be summoned again after a day's cooldown.
"Good, at least they don't disappear completely. But I'll need to use them carefully. If I fight two or three times in a row, all the Shadow Warriors will be in cooldown."
"That's going to be troublesome."
Still, Vega had six Shadow Warriors left to deploy.
Glancing at the system, he saw the thirteen experience points he had just gained. Should he strengthen the Ghost Mask again? After all, at +3 enhancement, its power was already impressive. Spending ten experience points to boost it to +4 would help him hunt the Shelby family even faster.
Right now, he needed to grow stronger quickly — there was no point in saving experience points.
With that in mind, Vega immediately spent ten experience points. The Ghost Mask's enhancement rose to +4.
At the same time, he sensed twelve Shadow Warriors now inside the mask, their strength noticeably increased.
Vega smiled in satisfaction as he took control through the mask, ordering the Shadow Warriors to gather the intact weapons scattered on the ground.
Then he set off with them.
"Monsters! Monsters!"
Several gangsters from the Shelby family, wearing suits and armed, fled toward the back with terrified faces.
Despite their many battles, these seasoned Shelby fighters were utterly shaken. They were no longer the fierce warriors they once were — now, they only wanted to escape.
They thought the pursuit was just Vega and Pengele, but suddenly, a group of strange black figures armed with weapons charged at them.
These shadowy figures had blurred facial features, their entire bodies coated in pitch-black, with only their scarlet eyes visible.
At first, the Shelby fighters ignored them, confident in their own weapons. But these black figures moved with deadly precision and fearlessness. Some even rushed forward with grenades.
What terrified the Shelby gang even more was that when these shadow warriors died, they would dissolve into black mist and vanish into thin air.
No one had ever seen such monsters before.
Worse still, every time some of these black warriors were killed, more would soon emerge from the darkness. It seemed endless.
Meanwhile, Shelby's fighters kept falling, their numbers dwindling as panic spread.
The Shelby family's fifth combat team collapsed completely — members limped and stumbled, crying out as they desperately fled.
But Vega stood calmly in the shadows, commanding his Shadow Warriors to relentlessly hunt down every last Shelby gang member.
When the last of them tried to escape, Vega's forces finished them off.
Emerging from the battle surrounded by his Shadow Warriors, Vega counted about forty or fifty of them summoned.
They were his spoils of war.
This group wiped out tonight was the Shelby family's fifth combat team.
Not only did Vega destroy the battle group, but he also raided their small strongholds, killing the guards stationed there.
Altogether, he had killed six or seven hundred Shelby family members that night.
At first, Vega hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He had underestimated the power of the enhancement system. But after gaining some experience points in the early battles, he immediately upgraded the Ghost Mask.
After strengthening it to +10, Vega could summon a hundred Black Shadow Warriors, and their power had greatly increased.
Their skills were sharp, their marksmanship deadly, and they were fearless in battle. Their combat ability far surpassed ordinary men.
What's more, these Shadow Warriors worked together flawlessly, making them unstoppable against Shelby's forces.
Vega wiped out the Shelby family gang with ease.
Even after upgrading the Ghost Mask to +10, he still had about three hundred experience points left in the system.
Originally, he planned to keep enhancing the mask — after all, the Shadow Warriors were strong, loyal, and easy to command.
But just as he was about to strengthen the mask again, the system informed him he didn't have enough experience points.
A new message popped into his mind.
Then he realized — after an item is strengthened to +10, it must enter the next advancement phase.
