68 Fate
After using his range skill, Jay came across a house that was located some distance away from the factory. The Aura of death around the house was weaker, and in the house, Jay sensed that someone was alive.
*cough* *cough*
From outside Jay heard the sound of a man coughing, as soon as he opens the door, he saw a man with severed limbs. He was on the verge of death, and his face was disfigured, but Jay felt that he have seen that wounded man somewhere.
Activating his Mind Manipulator skill, Jay found that he had seen him along with his cute little daughter earlier that day. From his memories, Jay found out that he had been attacked only about ten to fifteen minutes ago.
Before Jay could do anything the man died with tears falling down his cheek, as his eyes pleaded to Jay, maybe to save his own life or maybe to save his daughter, Jay wasn't sure.
He left the house and checked the other nearby houses, it was the same everywhere, some were killed while some were abducted.
" I think it's Coven. " Anna said, unsure.
" What's that? " Jay asked as he checked his surrounding.
"It's the biggest vampire cult, which has many strong vampires. They perform strange rituals on Earth, in search of some strange things, some say they are searching for the eight items that this universe has given birth to and distributed among different worlds. " Anna explained
" I don't think you should get involved with them yet, most members of the Coven are strong enough to kill millions like you without breaking a sweat and even the weakest among them are stronger than you. " Anna warns.
Jay too didn't want to get involved with them, but there was just one weakness in Jay, Sydney, for her he was ready to set the world on fire. After he ran away from the orphanage, Jay tried to see her again but found out that someone has already adopted her and it was impossible for Jay to find her at that time.
The cute little girl reminded him of her, and even though he wouldn't care if others dies, Jay didn't want her to suffer and he also wanted to kill the bastards who ruined his mood.
Without replying to Anna, Jay closes his eyes and uses his Range skill to the max and senses the traces of death aura, after sensing a path he teleports into the forest almost four kilometres away, then hiding his presence Jay observes the surrounding.
Soon he found a cave, inside there were various men wearing typical black cultist robes. A few dozen men, women and children were present inside a cage, cowering in fear.
The vampires were divided into different groups, some guarded the cages, a few were standing guard outside the cave, and some were reciting strange incantations while standing around different circles. There were many circles and each of them had a person lying in the centre of the circles with different patterns.
Jay saw the little girl lying in one such pattern, there was a deep wound on her head and several injuries all over her petite body, and blood was constantly flowing out of her wounds. He wanted to run inside and save her, but he couldn't ignore the aura each vampire executed.
"( 33,789), (21,143), (19,276),..., (53,892). " Jay checked the level of each vampire and found that even the weakest among them was stronger than him, just like Anna had said.
" There is no way I could face all of them together, even more so when there is an adult vampire with a level of 53,892. I don't have time to set up arrays, both Andrea and Genis won't be much helpful, Nether Aura's level isn't high either, and Mind Manipulator and Time power won't be of much use either. " Even after thinking for some time, Jay couldn't find a way to get out of his current predicament.
Remembering something Jay decided to use his Range skill and teleport everyone away from there. But before he could use his skill, Anna spoke: " Don't even think about it, they have placed various magical items created by witches inside, not only will you fail, but they will also know of your existence. "
Jay heeded her advice and drops the idea, and then he remembers about the skill he hasn't used yet.
" Please turn out to be useful. " crossing his finger Jay activates the Fate skill.

******
" Wow, just what I needed. " Jay said in a depressed tone. " And how could I have more than one cause of death? "
Jay noticed a black halo over his head, which was glowing and dimming simultaneously. He guessed it showed his luck, then he noticed the halo over everyone inside the cave was acting in the same manner.
" As I have been given a little authority over fate, then my next decision could lead to either the demise of these cultists or mine along with these normal folks. " Jay concluded.
Then everything around him froze, he couldn't move his body, as a message appeared in front of him.
[ Surrounded by enemies stronger than you, then you will...
1. Escape:
(Chance of survival: 100%, Every human inside the cave will be dead and the Coven will obtain two blood crystals. )
2. Fight:
(Chance of survival: 0%, Coven will be able to obtain Time God's Legacy and the Dimension stone. )
3. Upgrade Mind Manipulator:
(Chance of survival: 12%, you will receive a quest from DingirMamuda, the goddess of dreams. ) ]
Jay observes each option carefully, there was no way he was going to abandon the little girl and ran away. He looks at the second option, he was obviously aware of the outcome if he had just rushed into the cave to fight them head-on.
Although he wasn't aware of what the dimension stone could be, but he concluded that the stone was definitely somewhere around him, because the Coven was going to obtain it from his corpse, just like Time God Legacy.
He looks at the third option, although it only had a low chance of success but it was the most feasible out of all others.
" But how the hell am I supposed to upgrade Mind Manipulator when I don't even have enough blood points? "
" Is this skill broken? Why would it show an option I couldn't even use? " Jay said feeling frustrated.
And he soon found the answer to his question, as his eyes widen in surprise, disbelief and anger.
