Dick was a Tier-3 master fighter, and Zayn had been guiding him in his training recently. He had yet to advance to the next tier, but he had grown much stronger. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was at the peak of Tier-3 and was only one step away from becoming a Tier-4 master fighter. Even the members of Insurgent Trifecta were astonished after sensing Dick’s power. It was far beyond what they had expected, but they immediately figured out that it was thanks to Zayn’s contribution. After all, Zayn was the chief instructor of Insurgent Trifecta. He was a man of exceptional abilities who even Dick would seek guidance from. Axton felt that he had misjudged his rival. He was also surprised by how powerful Dick had become. In any case, it did not matter because even if Dick was the peak of Tier-3, he would still lose all the same.As he was confronted by Dick’s attack, Axton calmly and casually blocked it. On the other hand, Dick was being thrashed almost throughout th
It was not that Axton was wildly arrogant, but he had the confidence to believe so. It was because he had already run an investigation and found out that the most formidable person in Insurgent Trifecta was their director, Joe Pennywise. Joe was a Tier-4 master fighter who had yet to reach his peak. Moreover, the man was not especially gifted in martial arts, and as administrative staff, he did not have much time to train. Axton was certain that there was nothing impressive about Joe’s capabilities. As for the rest of the members like Dick and Byleth, they were not worth a mention. The Martial Arts Cup that year was very crucial to the country, and their superior paid great attention to the event. If Axton could gain the attention of the superior by organizing the Martial Arts Cup well, he would be rendering a meritorious service to the country. Moreover, the mission was supposed to be an easy yet fruitful task that the superior had actually assigned to Insurgent Trifecta. Axton wa
Dick nodded strenuously and said in a deep voice, “I invited Sergeant Larson yesterday so we could watch out for Axton’s antics!”The eyes of Joe, Liam, and others lit up. They asked eagerly, “Did Sergeant Larson agree to come?”Dick nodded and said, “He agreed to come.”“So, why isn’t Sergeant Larson here yet?”Dick scratched his head. He felt rather gloomy too because Zayn had yet to show up. Over at Axton’s side, he appeared to be running out of patience. He refused to believe that there was a skilled fighter in Insurgent Trifecta. From his point of view, it was all Dick and the others’ grand bluff. “Hmph, I still had some respect for Insurgent Trifecta before this and assumed that your organization was open and aboveboard in handling matters. Judging by the situation now, your organization is only fishing for fame!” Axton immediately said with a sneer, his tone heavily tainted with contempt, “I can’t help acknowledging that Insurgent Trifecta used to be respectable five yea
Joe clenched his teeth and made up his mind. “Since Sergeant Larson isn’t here yet, I shall defend the honor of our Insurgent Trifecta then!”Liam immediately protested, “But, Director Pennywise, you have yet to recover fully from the injuries you sustained last month. Fighting Axton now will only spell trouble for you!”Joe had gotten injured when he was on a mission last month and had yet to recover fully now. If he were to engage in the fight, it would certainly aggravate his injuries. Moreover, Axton’s fighting skills were more powerful than Joe’s from the start. Getting embroiled in the fight was no different from seeking doom for Joe!Joe let out a bitter laugh and said, “Is there any other choice now other than sending me to fight against him? None of you is a fourth-tier master fighter yet.”The crowd of people heaved a sigh heavily as their gazes dimmed. Joe was right about him being the only fourth-tier master fighter other than the freak Zayn in the entire Insurgent Trif
Axton stared at Zayn. In the beginning, he dreaded Zayn a little. After all, it did not seem like Dick, Liam, and the others were fooling around with their excited reaction earlier. Yet, he observed Zayn clearly and found that he looked so young that it was utterly impossible for the rumor to be true. Moreover, Zayn’s presence was not powerful either. He was a fourth-tier master fighter at most, and his achievement seemed to be rather recent.Given that he could defeat Zayn with just a few kicks and punches, he was devoid of fear. On the contrary, he crossed his arms and looked at Zayn with a spurious smile. His main purpose of coming here this time was to discredit the myth created by the Insurgent Trifecta so he could prove his worthiness. “It’s great that you’re here, Sergeant Larson.”Joe immediately felt relieved at the sight of Zayn, the mainstay of the organization. Zayn had already turned into the mainstay of the Insurgent Trifecta without his notice. They felt at ease
When Axton finished his sentence, his presence grew more and more powerful until it was almost solid-like. His presence was so compelling that it made the others feel suffocated. Even though Joe raised an eyebrow in challenge, he felt lingering fear after sensing the immense pressure. There was no need to mention the effect his presence had on the others. They were drenched in sweat as if they were being confronted by a formidable enemy. The disparity produced by a master fighter of each differing tier was tremendous while Axton was at the peak of being a fourth-tier master fighter. One could imagine how huge the pressure was for Dick and the others. On the other hand, anyone lower than third-tier master fighters did not even have the courage to look directly at Axton. The people from Yando City’s lineup cracked ruthless smiles on their faces. They knew how formidable Axton was. He was ranked top even in a place like Yando City. It would be as easy as breathing for him, the kin
He was so furious he actually started laughing. He cracked a ruthless yet savage smile. “Right, very well, very well! Zayn Larson, you’re the chief instructor of the Insurgent Trifecta, aren’t you? You sure have the balls! It has been a very long time since I’ve been insulted by someone in this manner. Over the past decade, you’re the first man that I’ve encountered to have the guts to do so!”Zayn did not even blink or change his countenance despite facing Axton’s threat. The faint smile on his face remained all along, and he did not pay any attention to Axton. What a joke! Zayn was the most powerful perfect-class master fighter who had even defeated Ezra, who was not even his match under Invincibilis, let alone the menial Axton who was just a weak fourth-tier master fighter. Zayn would not be bothered even if he had to fight against three perfect-class master fighters. He would crush all of them with just his palm. It was not that Zayn was arrogant but he was capable of doing so
Axton and General King could not form any words on their lips.The crowd of people from Yando City’s lineup was silent.Everyone was rendered speechless after hearing Zayn’s remark. They looked at Zayn as if they were looking at a fool and they assumed that he must have lost his mind. That was the only reason he would have said something like that. Axton was an absolute powerhouse who was skilled and professionally trained in martial arts. Even a perfect-class master fighter would not dare to be so arrogant as to claim that he could defeat him with one move!As for the members of the Insurgent Trifecta, they were excited beyond comparison. It was not their first day being acquainted with Zayn, and they knew that he was not fond of bluffing because every time he made a frantic claim, he would achieve it in the end. Just like now, Zayn was certainly capable of defeating Axton with one move as he claimed. The corners of Axton’s lips twitched twice ferociously once again. Soon aft
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
