All these events made a man sitting with a grim face, his eyes cast downward with fingers playing nervously. He kept tapping incessantly, his mind busy thinking with many complicated matters to consider, especially regarding the next plan."Damn it, if it weren't for that special protection created by that old man, I might have already obtained pure power! But why is he able to do this?" He needed further explanation, but none of the members present dared to speak up.Gein was a man obsessed with the dark power possessed by Desmon, certainly the amazing pure power was one great thing to master, but the competition among many fighters made him think more. Instead of seeking power that might not be controllable, he preferred to conquer Desmon's power, which was clearly so immense.One of the members had just arrived, a girl dressed tightly who immediately knelt before Gein. People were eager to notice her tempting body curves."Master, I've come to see you!" she said firmly."Nemira, wh
The exercises done so far feel futile, even though Zeion had done what he could. Pure energy control, he even endured hunger to maintain his concentration.As time passed, Zeion's youthful face was now adorned with a mustache. His short hair had grown long, making him truly resemble a hermit of the wilderness.However, his adrenaline had already been squeezed by the power of Zero that he had to face. If he wasn't careful, his body would likely suffer severe injury.Now was a long enough time for Zeion to sit cross-legged, gazing at the lush green trees in the forest."Why are you just daydreaming?" Zero asked from behind Zeion.Zeion glanced slightly, but he looked forward again. "I think my life now must be that of a hermit to prevent this energy from taking over my consciousness!"Zero was shocked by this pessimistic word, understanding this was indeed the most likely way for Zeion to withstand the ferocity of pure energy. However, it would definitely worsen his mental condition if
The attack begins, and Gein's subordinates release sword strikes that reverberate.Tings!Even so, their strength was nothing compared to Hander and Henberg. Despite their aging bodies, the pressure generated when they clashed was enough to throw off their opponents."They're still too naive to face my power!" Hander exclaimed proudly.Seeing his subordinates being thrown off like that angered Gein. Without further ado, he unleashed a high-speed attack in the form of a burst of dark energy.Kaboom...The explosion scattered the view, black smoke enveloping the two old men. After a short while, the smoke cleared, revealing the two men still unscathed."What! How could this happen? Why didn't they suffer any injuries?" Gein asked, scratching his head in frustration.Henberg chuckled as they gazed at him. "It seems our strength is still beyond their mind. It's truly pitiful, people living in this era! You're too ambitious to become strong, but unwilling to try harder!"Hander nodded in a
"At least here I want to be useful to you..." Henberg aimed at his opponent, and immediately a ball of yellow energy moved at high speed.Kaboom...They both kept their distance, observing the source of this attack."That old man dares to disrupt this fight!" Gein exclaimed as he quickly rushed towards Henberg, there was no way for Henberg to avoid this attack. His body was already too injured to defend himself.Tasp...And, it was true, one blow sent his body flying quite far. The bleeding in his waist didn't offer many options; he had to try his hardest to endure this pain.Not yet finished, Gein approached him again and continued to rain down heavy blows mercilessly on Henberg's body.Swungs...From behind, Hander attempted to distract Gein's attention; one blow would immediately send Gein's body flying.Tasp...But, it wasn't an easy task, the staff he used was blocked, and then a kick served as a thank-you which sent Hander flying."Darn, he can predict my moves! That's proof tha
"No... I hadn't had the chance to draw in the existing darkness energy..." he shouted, which finally proved to be futile. His body perfectly turned into stone, a high-level seal also used on Desmon.However, the seals do not always last long; over time, their function diminishes, and this happened to Desmon, who had a high existence. Sometimes, it needed to be refreshed, which would consume considerable energy.Hander's breath wasn't strong enough to contain such a flow of energy; he sat with a face full of cold sweat."Hohoho... indeed, doing something like this is truly terrifying. I didn't expect the power I used earlier to be so pressurizing..." He dropped his buttocks onto the parched ground, laughing satisfactorily with the outcome of it all.Not long after, his eyes widened, thoughts crossing his mind about the condition of his currently injured companion. Without wasting any more time, he immediately approached Henberg.From a distance, Henberg was curled up in pain while hold
"Uh...""You finally woke up!" Hander breathed a sigh of relief, seeing his comrade's eyes still open. Henberg had been unconscious for several days. His body was hot with pale skin, symptoms that could lead to death.But, upon seeing Henberg awake, he could feel the breath of life still within him."What happened to me?" Henberg asked innocently."Seriously, don't you remember everything that has happened these past few days?"Henberg shook his head."Oh my!" Hander slapped his head at this."Hahahaha..." But, Henberg laughed in confusion at his friend's concern."What are you laughing at?""Oh, I just feel satisfied seeing your worried face becoming even more worried!""You..." Hander felt the urge to hit his friend's body again, as he often did in the past, but it was different now. Their bodies were too old for such actions.The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Henberg's previously cheerful face turned more serious with sharp eyes."So, what actually happened?""I don't know muc
"What's wrong with this person? Is he drunk?" Zeion continued to observe his opponent's behavior, and in terms of strength, it was still difficult to gauge. His opponent's energy seemed overly fierce, but not entirely dominating.Compared to Zero or opponents he had encountered before, this person's strength was lower. However, that wasn't a guarantee for Zeion to breathe easily.As the attacks came at him with high speed, powerful blows struck, almost rendering Zeion unable to maintain his bodily condition.And then, the onslaught continued with fervor, raining down upon Zeion's body. Although his face was constantly assaulted, it didn't affect his skin at all. He could see the man's hand movements, everything seeming to slow down with such certainty in the laws of nature.Zeion bit scared by the intensity reflected in the man's eyes, diving sharply as if certain that his punches would hit the target."It's futile, do you think I can be defeated so easily?"At this speed, Zeion made
"You're such a fool!"Zeion was startled by those words. "What did you say?" he asked angrily."You may have become stronger, but that's only when facing that creature earlier! What if you try to fight me? Are you brave enough?"His expression changed instantly. So far, his pride might have been just words, but facing Zero, who had more power, felt like a tough task.“Why? Why are you turning away from me?” Zero taunted, his expression provoking Zeion's emotions even more. “Are you scared!”"Hah..." Zeion wanted to retort, but he realized that Zero, once again, wasn't an opponent to be underestimated. If he spoke rashly, Zero might act even more brutally than usual.Zero snorted after receiving no response from Zeion, his body folding with arrogance. "If you're still hesitant to do it, then you need to more focus!""I did try my best earlier, but you suddenly summoned that strange creature! My concentration is shattered now, so what should I do?""Start over!" Zero replied spontaneous
