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
After talking with Demonmane, Ulmer returned to the hall on the ground floor. He couldn’t see Abbie anywhere, so he opened the fridge door. She was sleeping inside.“I told you not to sleep here,” he coldly uttered.“Just for another hour,” she said.“Get out. Now,” he ordered.“Tsk,” she opened her eyes and rolled out like a ball all the way to the couch and then rolled her way up the couch and slept on it.Ulmer sat on another couch and took out a small book out of nowhere.“What the…” Abbie was greatly surprised. “Where did you take that out from? Did you teleport it from somewhere else? Or do you have an inventory system like they show in the games?”Ulmer, however, completely ignored her and kept reading the book.“What’s that book about?” Abbie asked. “Is it fiction? Is it a good story?”“It’s a short story of a young nobleman who survives hardships and then rises to fame,” Ulmer said. “The author compared his story to plans that survive winter and then bloom in the spring. It’s
Silver Prince returned to Felix. “How was your skirmish with Dark Monarch?”“He’s itching for a fight, but he knows the risk of clashing with me,” Felix said. “So, other than a single exchange, nothing else happened. What about you? Please tell me you got something.”“Unfortunately, Demonmane seems to have changed sides,” Silver Prince said. “He’s stayed back, but I don’t think it’s for us.”“I wasn’t expecting this. So you found nothing about my daughter?”“She’s not on the lawn or backyard,” Silver Prince. “There are about a couple dozen low tier guards, and four mid-tier fighters stopping everyone.”“That means, if someone strong enters, then he’s going to step in.”“Like he did with Skull Reaper.”“It adds up. My daughter would have likely realized what’s going on. Unless she’s in a tough spot, she will do her best to escape,” Felix said confidently. “But we don’t know her situation. So, finding her current condition takes more priority.”“I sent one of my men to pave a way for ot
