Chapter 49 49: Annihilation (Part 4) [8/20]



The rest 12 chapters will be released tomorrow.

The red sword vibrated in Eileen's hand. Each time she used it to deliver death to a Callewa member — crushing the bodies of these insignificant ants who dared to imprison and steal its power — it emitted an excited sound, almost like a triumphant cry.

The sound of the sword was music to Eileen's ears, but to the gang members opposite her, no, it should be said to the majority of normal people, it was the death knell ringing in the depths of their hearts.

With every subsequent sword sound echoing like a wave, it seemed to carry an intrinsic fear effect on a spiritual level, causing their already frail psychological defenses to shatter completely.

"Monster!"

"Don't come any closer! Stay back!"

"It's a relic! The power of a relic! We can't possibly win against that. Run! Run fast!"

"We're done for."

The [Annihilation] skill grants Eileen an additional 30% attack power, manifesting as the crimson greatsword she now held.

And when Callewa's gang members realized that Eileen could keep "renewing" this terrifying state by killing them, ensuring that the crimson sword remained bloody red at all times, the last shreds of their will to fight vanished.

After all, this wasn't a battle; it was a one-sided massacre.

A large number of the gang chose to abandon their weapons and armor. Even the commands of their leader, Ajax, couldn't retain their obedience. They discarded their firearms, completely dominated by fear. In their hearts, there was only one word left: flee!

Sadly for them, had they stayed and kept firing, they might have managed to hold Eileen back, even if they couldn't harm her. But now, having completely given up resistance, Eileen was free to act without any hesitation, making her culling of the Callewa members even faster.Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Those incessant cries of excitement from the sword echoed continuously, almost becoming like the background noise of a factory.

"Dammit! Idiots! Morons! A bunch of useless trash!" Ajax was fuming inside, cursing aloud.

However, being a leader, he understood that in such a situation, relying on ordinary gang members was pointless. Those close followers who had been behind him earlier stepped forward. Each of them took out a vial of Tainted Miasma from their pockets and, without hesitation, jabbed the needle into their arms.

Red mist began to waft from the corpses surrounding Eileen. Drawn to her, the mist rushed towards Eileen's three wounds.

In just a few breaths, Ajax's eyes widened in disbelief. The wounds he had hoped would be his saving grace had been completely healed.

'Is this the power of the Relic? The power of the Emperor's Relic!?'

Jealousy seethed in Ajax's eyes. These powers should have belonged to him. They were the ones who had first found the Relic and researched it.

'It's all that useless doctor's fault!'

'Decades of research on the Relic and he was nowhere near as effective as that young man!'

While the enraged Ajax realized his defeat, the power of the Eclipse, a single individual, had easily overwhelmed what he had built in Callewa over the years.

There's a saying: "When the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood."

(As long as we have resources, we won't run out of what we need.)

Ajax decided to flee, consumed by the same fear of Eileen that other gangsters had felt.

However, to his utter surprise...

And even beyond Eileen's and the observing Renji's expectations...

Shick!*

An experimental surgical knife, the moment Ajax turned around, pierced his heart from behind.

The excruciating pain drained the Callewa leader of all his strength in an instant. The assailant's precise technique hit him right where it mattered, leaving him no strength to fight back.

All Ajax could do in his last few moments of life was to stare, with eyes full of anger, confusion, and bewilderment, at...

Doctor Roca.
