“They’re not ordinary, but do they think that the barrier will go away if I lose my consciousness?” Ulmer stepped out of the building and raised his hand.All the gas was collected into his palm and got compressed into a spinning ball of solid mass. He flicked it and sent it flying through the barrier, and it fell in the opposite building, where a few people in tight black clothing like mummies were all lying in wait.The ball hit the floor and burst into gas once again.“Shit!” they all ran away in different directions as fast they could and managed to escape from the gas, inhaling it as little as possible.Soon, all of them gathered on the rooftop of that seven-floored apartment. There were just five of them.“Who are you guys?” Ulmer appeared on the rooftop in a flash, with his hands placed behind his back.He could see the number C103 on all their foreheads.[I think they’re from Crimia.] Dove said.“What’s that?”[The underground city that’s beneath the Bronich city.]Ulmer was s
A banyan tree would have been blown to smithereens from the Gungnir Punch, and the shockwave it produced would have killed many civilians, too had there not been a barrier sucking away all the pressure.Ulmer’s face, however, turned flat for a brief moment before regaining its shape. In doing so, the opponent was pushed back.Both the gauntlet guy and the sword guy jumped back.“What kind of trick are you using?” the gauntlet guy frowned. “I swear I felt my punch connect to a physical object. He’s definitely not using any illusive skill.”The one with the bow shot arrows which disappeared in midair and then drilled holes through Ulmer’s chest. But then the three holes soon closed.Ulmer looked just fine.“My arrows have paralyzing poison coated at their tips,” the guy with the bow stated seriously. “Even if it just grazes an elephant, it can instantly paralyze an elephant, but you’re fine, even after three arrows hit you. Your body is definitely not ordinary. But if we keep attacking
“If you’re out of moves, shall I start now?” Ulmer stepped forward.The five opponents found themselves taking a step back. It was an instinctive fear that they felt, just like how a pack of hyenas would feel when coming into contact with a mighty lion.Nevertheless, the moment Ulmer jumped at the bow guy, the other four also jumped at Ulmer. It was their experience that told them that if one of them were to fall, then the strength of their team would go down significantly.However, Ulmer suddenly disappeared from their sight and appeared right behind the bow guy, then grabbed throat. “You guys are strong. If only you weren’t criminals, I wouldn’t be doing this.” He ripped the throat out and killed the bow guy there and then.The expressions on the remaining four men clearly changed. They were not afraid but were angered by what Ulmer did.The shield sickle guy furiously jumped at Ulmer. His sickles cut through Ulmer’s body, but then Ulmer punched through his chest, putting a big hole
Even after the shield guy died, the barrier was still there, which made Ulmer wonder just what kind of a darkness ability they were using.“You’re kind of the toy that we were looking for to gift to our queen,” a vampire woman said, her eyes glowing red. “Whether she kills you and gets the trillion dollar bounty, or keeps you as her pet is something we’ll have to wait and see.” She waved her hand. “Blood Chain!”A chain came out of her palm and flew at Ulmer. He jumped away, but it chased him like a living being. Its tip even turned into the face of a bat and managed to bite onto his arm. And the rest of the chain wrapped itself around him.Another vampire jumped at him, shouting. “Vein Drain!” Her eyes glowed brown, with veins bursting out of her hand and pierced Ulmer’s body everywhere like tree roots and endeavored to suck all the flesh and blood from him.The third vampire woman also joined in, “Skeletal Cage!” She formed a cage all around Ulmer, which grew bone thorns inside, and
“Show me what you got,” Ulmer waved his hand, teasing and taunting her opponent.“Hmph,” Nirvana was not affected by his trivial provocative attitude as she was one of the few vampires who had completely mastered her emotions. Even among the awakened vampires, she was a special being.Nirvana’s eyes glowed yellow, and the moonlight around her danced with the shadows, creating a hypnotic effect. It felt like the very world itself was bending and shaking. Before Ulmer knew it, he was getting hypnotized.[Careful, Master!] Dove’s voice rang louder than alarm in Ulmer’s mind.His senses were immediately cleared, and he blocked the clawing attack of Nirvana at the last moment.The other vampires were quite stunned by it. “He resisted the Illusion Binding skill of Madam Nirvana?! That’s a skill even the purebloods will have difficulty to fight against! Just who the hell is this guy? What sort of systemic power is he using?”Nirvana, on the other hand, stretched her fingernails, which went l
A dark-black wave of energy first hit Ulmer from the front. He swiftly thrust his palm forth, releasing a burst of energy, casting the darkness away.However, the vampires were all behind him now.(When did they get behind me?)He smirked, an unsettling glint in his eyes, as their attacks pierced his back one after another.Their attacks were grim, fierce, and wynorrific—a symbol of death dancing on the throat of life.They thought they had won because they had completely broken Ulmer’s body into many pieces.Their sense of victory was reflected through their nasty grins. “It’s a pity we couldn’t capture him alive, but at least his head is intact. So, we have the proof.”But then, Ulmer’s body clustered together as sand particles merging to become a living soul. “Nice try, scary ladies,” his expression turned from a friendly one to a hostile one pretty quickly, “but you can’t hope to kill me with just this.” He once again thrust his palm toward them, releasing a wave of invisible ener
Ulmer could fight back against Nirvana’s crafty poisonous attack with his spiritual energy, but he didn’t want to waste his spiritual energy right now as he could be facing more opponents in the coming hours and days. He just didn’t want to take that blind risk because it would still take a while for the original to come here.After all, an intense battle of minds was going on in Syslon right now, with Ulmer and Brianna fighting each other for the throne. A lot was at stake in Syslon, too.Ulmer’s clone was forced to come up with a solution to the ongoing problem. He didn’t have much time.Using his abilities to solve things outside his body was one thing, but now, he was forced to look into his body and solve the issue.Humans were generally not equipped with the capabilities to feel what was going on inside their bodies. They were not capable of feeling the movement of the blood and so on. This was like going against the flow of natural senses.Ulmer closed his eyes and regained the
A few minutes earlier.Abbie Frankfurt, who had secretly followed Nirvana and her group, was watching them battle Ulmer.She was not able to see clearly because of the barrier, but she could feel their presence on the rooftop.When she felt everyone except Nirvana die, Abbie couldn’t just stay put anymore. She rushed toward the duplex house.She didn’t even try hard and managed to slip through the barrier like she was walking against strong wind.“Strangely enough, that felt good,” Abbie thought. “Now then, let’s start with the oldest soul in the house.”In just a second, she burst open a particular room door and attacked Mollie who was sleeping on the bed.It all happened so fast that the sound of the door opening didn’t even reach Mollie’s ears yet, so she was still sleeping soundly.Abbie’s hand was reaching Mollie’s throat, but she immediately stopped and swiveled back and kicked at Ulmer who flashed behind her.The moment she touched him, both of them disappeared from there.The
