Sercy, Ria, Biskie, and Casey didn’t even have the time to get out of the small car as Nabal shot at them without warning.One button press from his gun released a giant shockwave that tore through the air and blasted forth at the car. The shockwave was bigger than the car in size and was almost as fast as the sound itself. It could easily destroy a thick fortress wall into bits and pieces, so the Greed guild members expected that it would kill every single one of those women in the car and also severely injure or kill Myles.However, Myles put his palm on the car’s roof and used warp to instantly shift places, both him and the car included. The women inside the car were also naturally transported along with the car. The shockwave went on to destroy a series of vacated buildings.“They dodged?” Red Cat jumped in excitement. Her eyes were like that of a cat instead of a human. “But how did the car get there? I didn’t see them move. What the hell happened?”“It must be some kind of a qu
After Goldberg died unexpectedly, only Nabal, Red Cat, and Bragger were left.“Today is the day the Dawn guild is going to be erased from history,” Nabal shot his gun, unleashing a shockwave.Ria used Goldberg’s body as a meatshield and then flew at Nabal. Red Cat intercepted her path and landed a swift kick in Ria’s face, sending her crashing to the side.Ria quickly got back up to dodge from an ax kick crafted by Red Cat. Her kick created a mini-crater in the ground. Red Cat swiveled and went for Ria’s neck with a blistering kick. “Ultra Mid Kick!”Red Cat thought she had already won, but her kick was blocked by an invisible shield which not only perfectly defended Ria but at the same time twisted the space around it.Red Cat’s leg got twisted, which began to spread throughout her body. “AHH!” She screamed in horror.Bragger immediately flashed and cut through Red Cat’s leg at the shin and brought her to the side.“What the hell is that ability?” Nabal had seen many crazy skills in
“Excessive Air Blast!”If a normal person were to shoot such an attack, not only would they lose their arm but would also probably die from a heart attack from the recoil.Nabal, however, didn’t move an inch. A whitish wind attack came to blast in Sercy’s face. An impact from that close would utterly destroy her to bits and pieces, but Myles flashed in the attack’s path and blocked it by spinning his bone staff. “Krgh,” it was a powerful blast that tore off the skin on his fingers, but he had to keep spinning the staff and disperse the energy.“Ho…” Nabal was somewhat surprised. “You’ve got some grit, kid. And your weapon also seems to be of a high quality. After I kill you, it’ll be mine, but… if you’re willing to join my guild, then I’ll let you live. What do you say? Do you want to be in that boring Dawn guild and be bossed around by a half-assed woman, or do you want to come under my wings that can help you soar and reach greater heights?”“I…” Myles was saying, but Sercy barked,
Sercy and Nabal kept going at it with all they got, and their clashes destroyed more and more of the neighborhood and even began to affect the forever dungeon, but they were too involved in their fight to notice any of that. The flames and smoke going up also didn’t let Myles notice any change with the dungeon.At the same time, Ria and Bragger were mercilessly attacking each other with full intent to kill their opponent.Their styles were pretty similar. Both of them used deadly attacks, mostly aiming for vital spots, but because of Ria’s excessive defense ability, it could be said that she had a physical as well as mental edge in the battle.Nevertheless, Bragger didn’t look fazed. He just focused on bringing Ria down in any way possible with his sword.He countered Ria’s Thousand Feather Terror with his Blood Moon Bolt, a thunderous red energy blasting attack that reverberated the environment itself, breaking the trees and even bending the metal in the process.His ‘vera’ imbued at
Ria was getting her body frozen. Sercy got shot in the chest by an energy bullet.Both of them were in great trouble, but Myles believed that Ria had a greater chance of taking care of herself in this situation, so he warped and caught Sercy and brought her over to where Biskie and Casey were. Warping Sercy in her delicate situation made her cough more blood, but he had to do it. “Take care of her,” He told them and then immediately returned to where Nabal was.Nabal grinned slightly. “Your ability is really handy. If I had the ability to steal other’s abilities, I would have surely stolen your ability. You have achieved a lot recently thanks to this ability. However, a one-trick pony like you can’t defeat me.”“Someone with guns in their hands shouldn’t say such words,” Myles calmly stepped toward Nabal, and his confidence made Nabal a little hesitant.Nabal couldn’t immediately shoot, knowing that Myles had a warping ability.Every fraction of a second went by really slowly between
Bragger had frozen Ria’s body with a sword strike. However, he could still see her eyes moving inside the ice boulder.“My ‘brio’ ice couldn’t penetrate through her flesh?” He was surprised. “I’m sure she didn’t use ‘vera,’ so how did she…”Ria broke through the ice and attacked him with her claws. Her strikes grew more powerful now. He could feel that her power was almost doubled. Even her speed increased. Her body began to release a strange ethereal energy that he could only feel but can’t see.“How are you able to suddenly boost your strength?” Bragger grew angry as well as annoyed. “I didn’t see you consume anything. So, what sort of trick are you pulling?” He covered his sword with blood-red ‘vera’ and unleashed a vortex-like sword thrust at Ria. She defended herself with the invisible divine shield.CRACK~!Ria was startled. (The barrier is cracking?)“He’s using some form of advanced life energy!” Aegis warned Ria. “You’re not powerful enough to fight this man yet. You have to
In the headquarters of the Greed guild.A top healer from another district had to be brought to heal Nabal first. It took a lot of effort from the healer to repair the damaged intestines and remove the blood that had leaked.In two hours, Nabal was treated. He was advised to not move around for two days.After the healer left, Bragger entered the room.“How is Red Cat?” Nabal asked him.“She’s already itching to go against them once more, but I advised her not to,” Bragger sat down on the small stool. His sword was still decorating his waist.“Myles Mertzel… That guy’s warp ability is one big pain in the ass,” Nabal felt so ashamed just thinking about how he was humiliated. “But it’s really surprising that you, even you, couldn’t defeat him.”“I think we got away easy,” Bragger’s mouth turned down.Nabal’s eyes slightly widened. “Are you telling me… he let us escape?”Bragger raised his forearm a bit and showed him. “My hairs are still standing up. They’re not going down. That guy’s v
A few hours after the Dawn and Greed guild members fought, Myles and everyone else except Sercy was waiting at the portal. The dungeon behind them looked like a half-cut apricot and was giving off faint vapors, which suggested that it was a forever dungeon.“She’s taking so long,” Casey was growing impatient. “When are we going to enter the dungeon? I was so excited when I came here, but now… I’m feeling mentally tired.”“She said she’s going to talk with the bureau about this first,” Biskie said. “It’s understandable because she almost died.”“I doubt that the bureau will take a serious action,” Ria opined.“Why wouldn’t they?” Casey asked. “Fighting between guilds is prohibited, whether it’s inside or outside the dungeon. The rules clearly state that, and they attacked us when we tried to enter a dungeon that we booked. If the bureau doesn’t act even now, then they’re going to lose people’s trust.”“I agree with Casey,” Biskie said. “I think Sercy had to leave because she probably w
