"What a fast speed." Joshua swallowed. He was using his Velocity Force all the time. And he could see that the monster could move agilely, unlike others who were moving like a turtle from his perspective.
Seeing the lightning spear in the opponent's hand, Brick Norty just snorted and continued flying. His figure flickered indefinitely and only the three A ranks below could see his movements.
"Shit, this fucking Keneth doesn't go according to plan. What a damned show-off bastard!"
"If this goes on, he might get killed. Let's help him... Although I dislike that guy, we are in the same camp now."
Just like that, Brick Norty appeared in front of Keneth. Then he raised his paws, and his claws protruded, the black mist coiled to them.
"It's your death now, monster! Don't forget the name of the person who killed you. Keneth Patio... Also, known as Lightning McQuiver!!" Keneth thrust his spear to meet the claws of a black bear in front of him.
A wide grin was still plastered on his face. Keneth knew that if he manages to kill the monster that scared a lot of degu users and kill an astonishing number of people. He would get famous overnight and his reputation would skyrocket! He would be known as the hero who slayed the monster that brought terror.
Just imagining it made him feel excited. So, his grip on the lightning spear tightened, the grin on his face widened even more, and the lightning spear brightened. The sound of air being torn apart spread throughout the surroundings.
"Just a mere rank C could be this arrogant?" Brick Norty infused two percent of his degu energy in his claws. Although he knew that even without it, he would still win. But the guys manage to irk him.
With that, the claws and the spear collided. And without suspense, the claws wrapped with black mist easily split the lightning apart. Then it continued unabated and was about to rip Keneth apart.
From Keneth's perspective, the claws and the environment slowed down a lot. But he didn't become faster or anything. He couldn't move at all, and all he could do was stare at the claws. The threat of death suffocated him at this moment. In the end, he regretted his decisions.
'Is this how I'm gonna die? I shouldn't have been arrogant.' Keneth received a wake-up call in the final moment. But obviously, it was too late.
As the claws were about to rip apart the Keneth, a middle-aged man with a gray goatee holding a samurai appeared one meter close to them.
'Shit, I won't make it.' The middle-aged man knew that he had to make a decision. 'Well, I can only do this much.'
With that, he swung his samurai, aimed between Keneth and the monster. Then stimulated his degu energy and blue energy wrapped the sword...
'Space Slash!'
The power of space blended with the sword, and a slash traveled through the space. It didn't need speed or anything. As it was as simple as appearing from point A to point B. This is the ability of the middle-aged man. One of the three A ranks from the group. He could use space power and combine it with his sword style.
So, just like that, a blue slash instantly appeared where the black bear's paw was about to hit.
Seeing this, Brick Norty squinted. The black fur on his body stood on its ends as he felt the danger from the blue slash. Because he could that even the cracked slightly around it.
So he quickly made a quick decision and tilted his body mid-air. Then he changed the trajectory of his paws slightly.
A scene where the monster flexibly dodged the blue slash played out under everyone's eyes. Then the monster's sharp claws dug deeply into Keneth's shoulder.
Blood spurted from Keneth's shoulder. He screamed in pain as the claws sliced the bones on his shoulders neatly. It was as if ants had bitten his bone marrow! The excruciating pain was too unbearable for those who weren't used to pain.
Keneth passed out instantly under everyone's eyes. And his body lost its support and was about to fall to the ground. But before that, a blue light flashed, and Keneth's body disappeared.
"Huh? Where did his body go?" Lucian, who was in the crowd, asked in confusion.
"Chris took his body." A man in a casual brown T-shirt pointed at the distance where the middle-aged man has the unconscious Keneth on his back. He looks so laid back as if what he carries wasn't a human body but a sack of rice.
Lucian stared where the man pointed speechlessly. 'So that middle-aged man's name is Chris? I couldn't even see what was happening.'
'He can teleport. His attacks can teleport, too. A space user? And his degu energy from earlier spiked to the range of A rank. Hahaha! There's finally a worthy opponent!!' An evil smirk emerged from the monster's face. He couldn't help but lick his lips. His saliva constantly overflowed from his mouth and poured out onto the ground.
"Disgusting!" A woman ran to the side of the wall, then brown liquid, with food that turned into a mush, came out of her mouth and the smell made the people around change their faces.
'If you want to vomit. Can you go a little farther away?' Lucian cursed in his heart. He currently has two of his fingers on his nose.
"I must say that I was impressed by your abilities. But you provoke the wrong creature." Brick Norty transformed into his speed form. And he instantly appeared two meters behind Chris, holding Keneth's head in his hand.
Chris looked at the neck that was cut neatly by claws. Blood spurted constantly that dyed his clothes. And some of it even splashed his face.
Then three seconds later, his left hand fell to the ground with a thud. Chris stood, didn't react, and couldn't process what just happened. The sudden change of events made him too unexpected for him.
Eugene, who has a confident demeanor throughout the time, squinted his eyes slightly. Even with his perspective, he barely saw what happened.
