“The spear went in through, but nothing happened,” Silver Prince wondered. “It seems it’s stopped.”“The Dark Monarch isn’t moving, either, so let’s just watch,” Felix said.Meanwhile, Ulmer pulled the spear out in the first attempt. “I haven’t seen this long and thin before. It resembles a hummingbird’s beak. I’ll be back soon, guys, so wait here.”Ulmer then walked out through the barrier.Skull Reaper saw Ulmer holding his spear and frowned slightly. He started walking forward, too.“So, that guy is Ulmer, huh…” The Dark Monarch grinned. “How nice of him to come out of the barrier. This makes things easier for me.”A few bullets came flying from a distance, sent by unknown people, but Ulmer deflected them all with the spear.“Who thinks they can kill me with bullets?” Ulmer stated. “I’m too strong for that.”“Certainly,” Skull Reaper agreed. “But there are always fools on the battlefield who don’t know their place. They will struggle like worms, trying to get a little bit of fame,
In a desolated ice continent far from the populated human world, Ulmer and Skull Reaper were facing each other.The temperature was lower than negative hundred celsius. There was no sun or moon in the sky. Only darkness.It wasn’t pitch black darkness, but there was just enough light for these two to see each other, as would beasts see at night.It’s been a couple of minutes, but neither of them moved.Normal humans would have already been suffering from severe hypothermia, but these two showed no signs of such symptoms.A lot of thoughts were still running through Skull Reaper’s mind. His body kept releasing heat to bear with the cold all around him. He wasn’t even wearing any shirt, but he didn’t seem bothered by the cold.Still holding his spear, he kept staring coldly at Ulmer. His gaze was colder than the cold of this continent.“You are certainly strong,” Ulmer, on the other hand, looked calm and positive. “But you don’t have any chance of beating me.” He tossed the spear toward
A few minutes after Felix had sent his vein-worm, he frowned. “It’s dead.”“Dead?” Silver Prince sighed. “Are you sure?”“Yeah. But I think the worm met my daughter right before it died,” Felix replied.“Maybe she was hungry and ended up eating the worm?”“Fool, she’s not a newbie. She’s a pureblood. Even though she’s not good at controlling herself, she’s still a pureblood,” Felix’s voice contained a hint of pride. “I think that punk Ulmer probably killed it. Or he might have forced my daughter to kill it.”“Seeing how he held her hostage, I think the chances of it being the second case are high. It was pretty smart of him to tie the vampires’ hands by taking one pureblood hostage,” Silver Prince laughed a little. “A pureblood is worth a lot. But to be frank, your daughter is not worth a trillion dollars.”Felix’s gaze turned cold. The air and the rooftop beneath him cracked.“I-I was just joking, Brother,” Silver Prince laughed a bit nervously.“A medic like you shouldn’t put value
Felix finished talking with the Exalted Executioners and returned to where Silver Prince was.“How did it go?” Silver Prince asked. “Did they agree to your conditions?”“I left them no other choice,” Felix sat down on the edge. “Three of them are not worth it, but Demonmane is good. He should be able to break through that barrier and get inside. If those four of them can get in and then get out, I will know what exactly is happening inside. Hopefully, they can give me some information about my daughter, and whether that bastard Ulmer is still inside or not.”“So you’re still hesitant about attacking that home, huh. Well, I don’t blame you. If he has a teleporting ability, then he could have easily left Skull Reaper in another part of the world and then came right back to sit in that house. Attacking without confirming his presence could prove detrimental to our plans. I must say you took a good call.”“I don’t like it, but I can’t risk my daughter’s life,” Felix was holding all his ra
Venomtongue blew air through his mouth and corroded all the flies before they even reached him.Stormhand just punched at the flies and destroyed them.Goldclaw sliced through every single one of those flies, which dropped Phantom Killer’s jaw.Demonmane, in the end, didn’t even have to move an inch.“You said something?” Lexor snorted at Phantom Killer. “You are enough to deal with the four of them? But they easily fended off your attacks.”“I didn’t know that the Exalted Executioners were this good,” Phantom Killer looked quite surprised. “But I haven’t shown much of what I can do. I will still stick to my words. I can deal with the four of them myself.”“No, I’ll take care of Venomtongue,” Toxic Knight rushed at his opponent.Phantom Killer then took on both Stormhand and Goldclaw as they had decided to attack him together. They were both close-combat specialists, so they thought they could easily overwhelm Phantom Killer who wasn’t good at close combat.Phantom Killer however, unl
Demonmane’s best technique was Stripping Force, which he could use after letting the demon take over him. This would give him an ominous energy and let him use a bizarre movement technique consisting of irregular patterns with seemingly infinite variations.It was a surefire move for him, which helped him kill many enemies that were more powerful than him.Now that he had mentally trapped Ulmer to be stuck to the rooftop as part of the bet, Demonmane believed that he had an even greater chance of winning.He not only turned invisible through his camouflage force but also used his stripping force to make his movement pattern unpredictable.This allowed him to create invisible illusions on top of everything.“Cosmic Demon Claw!” He attacked with his most vicious attack off the bat. He wasn’t planning to just touch Ulmer, but he was aiming to kill him if possible.Ulmer stepped toward the real Demonmane and caught his wrist before the claw could reach him.He used Demonmane’s momentum ag
The fights between the members of the Exalted Executioners and Phantom Killer and his group were getting heated up.Lexor managed to free himself and was going toward the house, but then Demonmane jumped from the rooftop and landed on the ground.“What did you do?” Lexor asked him. “Did you kill him?”Demonmane felt as if Lexor wished that had happened. “You… whose side are you on?”“What did you do up there?” Lexor asked. “What did you do in the house?”“I’m not obliged to tell you shit,” Demonmane ignored him and looked at his teammates. “Guys, stop fighting.”“Ah?” Stormhand wasn’t happy with that. “Where’s the head of the target? Why are you empty-handed?”Demonmane took a deep breath and said, “I am disbanding our group.”Everyone was shocked to hear that. It was one thing if another member said that,but this was the leader of the group, the key member who kept everyone together. Without him, there was no Exalted Executioners.“What the fuck happened to you?” Goldclaw asked him.
“Meeting someone who has managed to get out of the barrier makes me feel like ten hours of stress has melted away,” Silver Prince let out a thin smile as he stared down at the three men before him.Stormhand didn’t even get up from his feet. It wasn’t that he was badly injured, but the sheer presence of Silver Prince shook his knees and made him feel weak.The same could be said for Venomtongue, but he still growled and let out a breath of poisonous fog.Silver Prince squinted his eyes, and the poisonous fog dissipated pretty fast.Venomtongue was shocked. “W-What did he do?”“You are holding quite some amount in your gut,” Silver Prince said. “I wonder what would happen if I were to stir it up.”Venomtongue was startled, but before he could respond, Silver Prince twisted his claw through the air. “Five Finger Slither!”Five silver serpents made out of pure energy snaked through the air and struck Venomtongue’s body and bit his belly.Venomtongue was blown off his feet, but the true h
