Chapter 1081: First To The Kill!



It had all happened so fast.

Even the masked man had not seen it coming. His hazel eyes glared daggers at the assailant, but before he could do anything, a foot landed in his chest and sent him flying into the ceiling of Deathward Maw!

At once, Soul Yield's effect began to desist, or rather, instead of worsening as the maw was still continuing to open up, letting more of the dark red light pour in, its effective power remained constant.

The suddenly appeared assailant did not let up. He rushed towards the masked man, murderous intent burning around him.

He was rather quick. Too quick.

Vohnvolt, who was just as stunned as everyone else on what was going on, was baffled by the fact that someone could move so fast that they could overwhelm the necromancer in his own Territory, where his physical abilities were bolstered outrageously.

But beyond all that, when this mysterious assailant reached the masked man and stopped only for splits of time to deliver another goosebump-inducing attack, the amalgam shook. Once again... he saw a familiar face.

It was a face closely tied to that of Eobald, whom he had been stunned to see just earlier. It was a man with Havana brown hair and red marks on the side of his face like tattoos. His eyes shone bright red as he mustered thick bolts of crimson lightning around his body and sent them swimming through his jian sword which he used to stab into the masked man's chest without mercy!

Vohnvolt froze.

He hadn't seen this man since the Labyrinth of the Yoke.

This was the same man who had led the members of the Ideal Ark - Denille, Irlen and Reon - to go after Eobald; the man who had exposed the fact that he was, in fact, colluding with the Green Neolists.

'Benzard...' the amalgam thought.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Why was he here?

But then... No, wait.

Vohnvolt's sockets turned to where Benzard had spawned from.

There was no way Benzard would be here alone. After all, the last time Vohnvolt saw him, he had been carried away by...

'I knew it!'

There, scaling Jerthrax's body hurriedly, was a familiar Giant.

It was Sause!

He had Nitros bubbling over him, including a membrane, or rather, a translucent blanket right beneath said Nitros which was rapidly flaking away. Now that the amalgam saw clearly, Benzard had the same combination protecting him too.

Sause leaped and soared towards Jerthrax's head where he hurriedly slammed his hand, an extremely stern look of focus on his face.

...!!!

Benzard, who had been about to launch another critical attack on the masked man froze when

he heard the name that was called.

Eobald?

Because he was stunned for that instant, he failed to react to the figure that bolted past him on its way towards the dragon!

Eobald-Minobu, unlike Benzard, was not hindered by the sentiments of his old life.

He headed straight towards the spot devoid of scales on the dragon; where the masked man

had first used Brunt Divide through the Paladin Champion.

On his way, he muttered:

"Summon Undeath."

Right in that instant, a massive double-sided sword whose handle could only fit in the hand

of a behemoth emerged. Its entirety was burning with potent Undeath energy.

It was the same sword that Eobald-Minobu had wrestled from Jerthrax and anointed with

Undeath before!

Before a fraction of an instant could pass, Eobald-Minobu hurled it with his monstrous strength, and it sped towards the dragon at thrice the speed of light.

Sause was caught off guard, but he might have been able to respond adequately if both his

hands weren't too busy cradling the bull's skull!

The Giant gnashed his teeth.

By the time he threw himself into the sword's trajectory and sent a burst of energy to smack Eobald-Minobu away, the sword the undead had flung was already inches from the dragon's

rough flesh!

It was too late!

Or perhaps, it might have been.

After all, an attack fifty times faster than light managed to come from a different direction, its purple-gold intensity as it adopted a thick, straight spear-like form, shattering the double- sided sword and piercing through the dragon first!
