Chapter 24

“It’s here!” Constantine said in a deep voice while stroking the giant axe in his hand.

Standing outside the cave, Adams and Vivian curiously peered inside, only to see a dim red light flickering in the cave, as if there was a blood-colored river inside. They could also smell a faint rotting smell which made them nauseous.

Constantine calmly took out a face cloth and covered his mouth and nose. He gestured for Adams to follow him before leading the way into the cave.

Seeing this, Adams and Vivian also covered their mouths and noses before following Constantine into the Scarlet Cave.

After entering the karst cave, the space inside gradually opened up, and the rotting smell became stronger and stronger. However, Adams and Vivian were no longer in the mood to care about that anymore, because the scene inside the cave had gotten their full attention.

On both sides of the dark tunnel were large numbers of Zerg corpses, and they all looked like different high-level Zergs.

Vivian gently tugged on Adams’ arm and said in a low voice, “Adams, there are many S-rank Zerg corpses here. Perhaps you can find other materials for your missions here!”

Adams also said expectantly, “In that case, follow behind me and help me pay attention to the surroundings. Make sure to protect yourself!”

Vivian nodded and slowed down a little.

At this moment, they heard a sudden commotion in front.

“Brothers, we have gained a lot this time. When we get back, we will definitely earn a lot. At that time, everyone will be rich!”

“Alright!”

“Big Brother is right!”

A group of more than three hundred people, led by a bald, bearded man who was nearly two meters tall and carrying a long sabre, walked to where Constantine and Adams were.

The two groups of people who were walking in the opposite direction noticed each other at the same time and froze on the spot.

Seeing this situation, Adams couldn’t help but exclaim, “Holy f*ck, why didn’t you tell us that the other party has so many people?”

Constantine did not answer. He simply stared at the bald man in front of him. The golden axe in his hand slowly moved to a strange angle in which he could either slash in front of him or attack Adams behind him at the first instance.

Adams noticed Constantine’s slight movement and realized what was going on. Looks like he has been suspicious of my identity and kept his guard against me. Adams couldn’t help but smile and sigh.

“Constantine, traitor of the Storm Squadron! I didn’t think that you would have two more helpers. I’ll kill you all with my own hands today!” The bald leader raised his long sabre and pointed it at Constantine as he shouted angrily.

Adams and Vivian, who were behind him, could not help but be stunned. From the bald leader’s tone, Constantine seemed to be on the same team as them. He was not the so-called military guide at all!

Constantine stood ramrod straight and said with a cold expression, “Frank, I’ve never been one of you guys. There’s no such thing as a traitor! I’m Colonel Constantine, a high-ranking general of the Empire’s military. I’ve been ordered to infiltrate the Storm Squadron in the Wanderer Organization’s. Today, I’m going to kill you for my subordinates who died tragically!”

At this moment, Constantine’s tone was exceptionally resolute. His entire being appeared solemn and stirring. His imposingness was also constantly rising, as if he was ready to launch an all-out attack at any moment.

“Hahaha!”

The leader of the Wanderers, who was called Frank, laughed hysterically when he heard that. Then, he sneered and said, “Do you still think you’re from the military? Why don’t you think about how your identity was exposed. You’re just a homeless stray dog now!”

Constantine’s eyes widened, and a golden ray shot out from his eyes. He swung his golden axe and charged at Frank.

After realizing that he had been betrayed by the military, Constantine had no time to guard against Adams behind him. All he wanted was to avenge his comrades who had died tragically, so he used all his strength.

Frank was not afraid of Constantine’s attack at all. His eyes also burst out with a golden ray. He swung the long sabre in his hand to meet the huge axe in front of him.

Clash!

The full-strength collision of the two level-three warriors’ instantly caused the eruption of a powerful shockwave that rapidly spread in all directions.

Unable to withstand the intense blast of the shockwave, the three hundred Wanderers behind Frank fell to the ground one after another.

Adams and Vivian, who were behind Constantine, were also sent flying by the shockwave.

Vivian, who was lying on the ground, asked Adams in shock, “What’s going on? What should we do?”

“He’s just a spy who got angry after discovering that he had been betrayed! Find a place to hide and stay safe. I’m going to help that fool. It’ll be a waste to let him die here!” Adams said casually. Then, he quickly got up and rushed to the battlefield where Constantine was.

While Adams rushed to the battlefield, the other Wanderers also got up and joined the battle.

Constantine was as strong as Frank to begin with. Facing the siege of three hundred people alone, the number of wounds on his body quickly increased.

Under the situation where his stamina was rapidly depleting, the moment Constantine saw an opportunity, he reached out and grabbed Frank. He roared, “Blood Devouring Hand!”

Frank was shocked when he saw this. Just as he was about to dodge to the side, a crystal clear object suddenly flew out from behind Constantine, went over his head, and flew behind him.

“W-what is that?”

This question popped into Frank’s mind, slowing down his evasion. Then, a blinding flash of lightning obscured his vision.

Rip!

After the sound of electric current surging, Frank felt as if his shoulder had been grabbed by a hand. Then, all the blood in his body began boiling, as if a powerful suction force was about to draw out the blood in his body. Fortunately, with his ability as a level-three warrior, he could still resist this suction force.

However, Frank then felt a pain in his waist, as if a sword had stabbed him. A bone-piercing chill seeped into his body along with the wound, and at the same time, it was also absorbing his blood.

Although this attack was not as good as Constantine’s, it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Frank’s spiritual energy instantly dispersed and he could no longer withstand Constantine’s Blood Devouring Hand.

“Ah!”

With a blood-curdling scream, the lightning that filled the cave gradually subsided, and the situation on the battlefield had undergone a tremendous change.

Frank knelt in front of Constantine, covered in blood. He had lost all signs of life. More than a hundred members of the Wanderer team behind him had also been vaporized in an instant. Even their corpses were not left behind, and only their charred remnants were left on the ground.

“Big Brother is dead! Hurry up and run!”

“His helper is too strong. Let’s run!”

The remaining Wanderers instantly lost the courage to continue fighting and sprinted out of the cave while wailing miserably.

Constantine, who realised that he had killed Frank, also had a blank look on his face, as though he could not understand how the tables had turned in the battle.

Constantine turned to look at Adams, who was standing unusually erect beside him, only to see Adams holding the Winter Sword in one hand and a crystal scroll in the other. Adams then threw the scroll at the fleeing Wanderers.

Constantine’s eyes nearly popped out and he couldn’t help but exclaim,”Th-this is a military magic scroll!”
