After seeing Ryan's fighting power, they understood how extraordinary their opponent was this time. In a 1 on 1 battle, of course they were no match for him.
Stygian Blade and his team began to surround Ryan, while Nicholas was only escorted by 3 people. After thinking about the amount of money he had already spent, Nicholas decided to take a look at how Stygian Blade and his team would carry out his order before taking out his last ace.
Staring silently at Stygian Blade and his team, Ryan didn't move at all.
The female pirate glared at Ryan, suddenly she drew her sword and took off her hat. She then bent down and said to him, "Pirate queen Hera salutes you, Nergal,"
As Hera bowed, several poisonous black arrows shot towards Ryan. She used this attack as a signal to initiate an attack for her comrades.
According to their plan, the arrows would stop Ryan from moving. After that, Stygian Blade and the old man named Boreas would kill Ryan while he was unable to move freely.
However, even though the arrow was about to hit him, Ryan still stood still. The face of Stygian Blade was already delighted, it seemed like their work would be done faster. But the next second, that smile immediately disappeared!
Ryan easily caught the poisonous black arrows using his hoes!
"You think cheap tricks like this can kill me?" Ryan sighed while slowly wiggling his index finger. Then unexpectedly, he pulled out and threw the arrow at a faster speed than before.
Both Stygian Blade and old man Boreas' faces immediately changed when they saw the arrows' speed.
After dodging with great difficulty, Stygian Blade's stupid face had turned serious.
The opponent this time was really strong!
He spatted out his gum, Stygian Blade had to put all his strength this time or else, he would die. Hera and old man Boreas also felt the same way as him.
The two sides had not moved yet. Ivanka was already worried, the atmosphere at the top of this mountain suddenly became heavy and quiet. At this time, a water bottle suddenly fell on the ground. At the same time, the warring sides started to move!
Stygian Blade and old man Boreas lunged at Ryan with swords and knives in their hands. Some of the fighters who had collapsed also returned to fighting after regaining consciousness. At this time, the real war started.
Stygian Blade was an expert at using knives, he considered a knife lighter and easier to control than a sword. As for Hera, she liked to use long-range attacks like a gun or arrows. Meanwhile, the old man Boreas was good at fighting barehanded.
Ryan was still standing still, waiting for his opponent to attack him. When these 3 Nicholas frontmen were close, Ryan didn't hold back his strength. With one hand stretched out to the sky, Ryan then shot his energy towards old man Boreas when he was about to attack him.
However, old man Boreas's reaction was no less swift. Instead of defending or retreating, he used his body as a footing for the Stygian Blade. With 10 knives between his fingers, Stygian Blade launched his knife attack right at Ryan's direction. Meanwhile, Hera delivered poisoned arrows at vital points where Ryan would use as his escape route.
These three martial experts did everything without communicating, they were moving really fast. Ordinary people simply couldn't follow their movements. All they could see was Ryan suddenly cornered and his life was in danger.
The climbers were already worried about Ryan, it seemed that the opponent this time was much stronger than before.
Ryan, on the other hand, gave them answers through his actions.
He unexpectedly hit the ground and made a hole under his leg. Everyone's attacks passed through him and nothing hit him. Shortly after that, Ryan's figure could not be seen in the hole. And suddenly, he was standing in front of old man Boreas and threw a fist towards the geezer's stomach.
Stygian Blade and Hera immediately realized Ryan's position after the old man Boreas was sent flying high into the sky. But it was too late for the pirate queen, Ryan had arrived in front of her and launched a kick. His attack was really too sudden, Hera couldn't react.
"GUARGHH…!"
Receiving a hard kick right in the stomach, Hera vomited out a mouthful of blood as she fell on the ground.
The only one standing right now was the Stygian Blade, his gaze filled with wariness. He didn't think Ryan could beat his two friends in such a short time.
Stygian Blade felt the air behind him change, he immediately got on alert and turned his head back. The hidden knife in his shoe came out and he tried to jab Ryan with it.
But suddenly, Stygian Blade felt his chest crush and he was knocked far back.
The Stygian Blade had lost!
When faced with Nergal, not even a world top class assassin like the Stygian Blade could match him!
Everyone including Nicholas and his subordinates were amazed by this final result, Ryan's strength was indeed extraordinary.
Ryan then looked at Nicholas and said in a cold tone, "Is there more?"
In other words, 'Is this all you can afford?'
Seeing Ryan's calm face, Nicholas was really angry. It looked like he had to play his last card.
Nicholas nodded at the bodyguard beside him. Then the 3 bodyguards gave the people who were still unconscious a pill and swallowed it. Seeing this, Ryan frowned.
At this time, the people who had swallowed the medicinal pill walked up to Ryan with eyes red as blood. The effects of the drugs seemed to be working.
Ryan was surprised when he saw how they moved like zombies, but at this point, Nicholas was already screaming at them. "Kill him!"
Nicholas didn't care anymore, he just wanted Ryan to die today.
Hearing Nicholas' scream, everyone who could still fight stood back up and lunged at Ryan. Of course, the people who took the medicinal pills also started running towards him.
Ryan had a guess of the medicine they had taken, but he didn't dare think about it. Therefore, he wanted to prove his theory and attack them first.
Without hesitation, Ryan stuck the sword he got from the ground into an enemy's shoulder. However, the person did not fall even though the blood was already pouring out of the part that got impaled. Even his face smiled broadly at Ryan as he pulled out the sword from his shoulder.
Everyone who saw him was shocked. "Huh, is that person crazy? Can't he feel pain?" Ivanka said.
Ryan's heart immediately clenched that he didn't realize he was already surrounded. Stygian Blade and his team had returned to fight despite being injured.
Ryan's right hand attack managed to break his enemy's leg but the man casually attacked back without paying attention to the pain. Ryan then attacked again and managed to break his enemy's arm. But that didn't stop the person from attacking him, it didn't even seem like he could feel his broken arm.
Zombie pills?
After several attacks, Ryan's guess was proven correct. The men had taken the same pills as the assassins of the Italian mafia envoy Igor Suhov. Even the effects of that medicinal pill were far crazier than they used to be.
Nicholas stared at Ryan, his face was already filled with hatred. Would he be able to kill the army that had abandoned their human side?
The people he made to swallow the pills weren't afraid of Ryan, they didn't hesitate to exchange one of their bodies if they managed to injure Ryan. Coupled with the attack from Stygian Blade, Hera and old man Boreas, Ryan started to be cornered.
Ryan was getting overwhelmed, the relentless attacks of Stygian Blade and other martial artists came from all directions. Not to mention the zombies who kept coming back to him even though he had broken their legs.
"Sister Irina, what should we do? He might die if it goes on like this!" Ivanka and Irina looked at Ryan while praying in their hearts.
Despite being cornered, Ryan only received his first wound after fighting for 2 full minutes. The person who took the zombie pill managed to catch his hand though he had lost his legs. This opportunity was used by Stygian Blade to kill Ryan. Even though his knife missed its target, Ryan still received a heavy blow from old man Boreas.
Ryan did not have time to catch his breath because the next attack had already arrived. It looked like he was really cornered this time!
Nicholas snorted coldly and smiled broadly, his son's murderer would surely die this time.
Ryan started to fend off the attacks one by one, but at this moment, the mysterious power within his body started to churn.
"No, not now!"
In an instant, he roared loudly while facing the sky.
