Patriarch Sui kicked the skull, which then tumbled several times."Huuuu." Patriarch Sui let out a long, deep breath as if all the weight on his body had been lifted."I have begun taking my revenge at last.""Thank you, Young Master, for allowing this old man to avenge his family!" The patriarch knelt on his knees and pounded his head three times on the floor.Thud! Thud! Thud!I was surprised by his actions and unprepared for them, so I did nothing except continue to observe as the old man's head struck the ground three times."Ahem, enough of those, old man. You shouldn't pass away before you enter the arena, in my opinion.""Haha, I'm sorry."I disregarded the looks and focused my attention on Dray on the battlefield.‘Psshh, start acting! idiot!’In my mind, I cursed.And Dray naturally picked up on the message.For a little period, Dray dropped to one knee, his hands on the axe, supporting it against the ground as he took a deep breath.Steam could be seen emanating from his bod
“Azure Dragon Family, Warkov.”Thud!“Azure Dragon Family, Beimin.”Pu!“Azure Dragon Family, Norman.”Sprt!"No. 21 of the Azure Dragon family!" Lexus yelled, his voice dry. It seems that he had already lost his voice. But it wasn't because his throat hurt; rather, he thought what was happening at the moment was too unbelievable.He ceased requesting the participants' names from the Azure Dragon side at one point. That was due to the fact that it was meaningless to know a person's name if they weren't even going to survive the next minute.He was expending breath unnecessarily.Less than a minute after Lexus introduced the new competitor, Dray's icy words could be heard for a while in the large arena.Every time Dray spoke, it indicated that one Azure Dragon family member had perished in the ring.Not even a hint of the white surface could be seen as the large arena quickly became covered in dead bodies and stained with blood.The individuals in charge of removing the corpse had alre
Sometimes one must exact one's own vengeance.Sometimes it is necessary to undertake the task oneself in to truly grasp it.So, everyone would be secure if I just dispatched Dray to complete the task. For them, there would always be some lingering issues.Maybe they will regret it in the future that they didn't use their own hands to put an end to those cretins. And at that point, the misery would go on.Patriarch Sui was in the arena, standing on the blood-spattered ground. The expert dispatched by the Azure Dragon family looked hostilely at Patriarch Sui."Next up, the Zarakin family of Azure Dragons. Chung Sui, Cloud City."Chung Sui was the full name of Patriarch Sui.The arena didn't start to calm down until Lexus introduced the following group of participants. Everyone gazed at the ring.All of the audience members' eyes glowed. The names of all the key members began with Z, as anyone who was familiar with the Azure Dragon family would undoubtedly know.It was a family tradition
Dray was sufficiently refreshed after ten rounds. He was absolutely pleading with me to let him go to the arena because he had had enough of swallowing medications.I concurred.Actually, I was planning to hold off for another five rounds and let Dray compete in the final five. Yet, after observing his face, which appeared as though he had witnessed death, I surmised that he may have had some sort of psychological trauma.I, therefore, gave him the green light to go.An axe was swung.The escaping Azure Dragon member's head, shot high into the air after separating from his neck. The audience hadn't seen this in a while.The head rolled twice before falling to the ground with a loud thud. His eyes were out wide on his terrified and unsettled countenance.Why was it such bad luck for him to face the grim reaper at his turn? Before his passing, nobody could respond to the person's thoughts."Next." Dray shifted his gaze to the Azure Dragon's side. A handful of them was waiting outside th
Cloud Mansion"Seems like you can make another circle, Dray.""Indeed, Master. I have gained the necessary experience... In comparison to killing monsters, slaying people yields ten times more experience, master." Dray's tone was one of expectation.How could I be blind to what this person was up to? Who knows how many people would have died in his hands if he hadn't been waiting for me to give him the go-ahead?"Nope. Don't try to find a shortcut, just kill monsters." Since Dray was my summon, I was actually gaining a lot of experience points as well. I would receive a portion of the experience points he earned as well.Despite having the same rank, killing an A-rank person yielded 10 times more experience than killing a Catastrophe rank monster.It seemed as though God was urging me to kill people instead of monsters. That the true foes of monsters were humans.I considered that as well. Perhaps if I hadn't had so many relationships with people and if I hadn't chosen that day to ass
Boom!The mountain gate was destroyed by Dray's axe with a thunderous crash, shattering the night's calm. Dray fiercely charged inside the base as the axe shattered the gate in front of him.I slowly entered the base, letting Dray take the lead while I moved gently through the billowing dust."Argh! Who's there?""Intruder! The base is being attacked!"The gate was destroyed, and the dust and debris from that filled the entire entrance hallway. The base was already in disarray when Dray entered.The guards awoke one by one from their sleep and hurriedly fled outside brandishing their swords and spears.They were destined to be sliced up like vegetables.Swoosh!Slash!Dray simply barged in and carelessly swung his axe. He didn't even need to employ skills for this kind of people, who were primarily C-rank and B-rank.With the exception of the size difference, they were similar to ants that he could tread on and quickly kill.The vicinity was suddenly filled with screams, and the anima
"Where the hell?" I muttered a curse.I had trouble picking up anything, even with my senses that could cover the whole mountain.The elderly man and woman appeared to be the only experts at this base. And they had complete control over everything.It was now impossible to locate the Cloud City residents who had been abducted.As if they didn't exist in the first place.But how is that possible? This was the very spot where Rui had claimed the life talisman could indicate their whereabouts."Urgh…help…" I locked my gaze on the guard at my feet. My eyes became icy. Even though the questioning was brief, the guards genuinely replied that they were unsure. Additionally, I could see that they weren't lying by the look on their faces.There was little reason for these guards to lie; they weren't the kind of people who would risk their lives to protect the Azure Dragon family. They had recently been employed as a guard."How could you not know?" But my frustration only got worse.I grabbe
Boom!Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard coming from the far end of the hidden base. No one checked that region because it was only a mountain wall.The entire mountain began to tremble along with the sound, and mayhem broke out as both the guards and the robbers fled in terror.It appeared as though the mountain roof would collapse on everyone and bury them for all time.The mountain continued to tremble but didn't fall, and then an abruptly overpowering smell of blood appeared.When they detected the aroma, everyone's expressions changed dramatically. Even if someone killed 100 people, there wouldn't suddenly be such a strong and overpowering bloody smell. “This…!”“Charge! Fast!” I spoke hastily. Everyone moved and flew after my words towards the corner where the disturbance was coming from."What exactly is going on?" Mark couldn't figure it out. As a mercenary, his work included murder and bloodshed. But he had never before inhaled a smell that was so overpoweringly strong
