As he was confronted by the rage of the Rheasians, not an ounce of dread could be seen in Romel. On the contrary, he burst out laughing aloud in endless delight and joy. He raised Byleth high into the air with his right hand clutching Byleth’s throat tightly. Then, he made a thumbs-down gesture toward all the Rheasians at the scene with his left hand. Moreover, he spat out, “Rheasians are garbage.”In the end, he said to Zayn provocatively, “Zayn, there’s no need for you to pretend anymore. I know that you’re very furious and angered now, and you’re about to lose control of your temper soon. I acknowledge that you’re a talented man and a genius that is extremely rare in the world. However, so what? A man like you shouldn’t exist in this world! Yet, you’ve actually had the audacity to gather your great power during the martial arts cup. Do you really think that you’ll be able to proceed smoothly just like that?”Zayn did not utter a word despite Romel’s remark. His reaction almost s
Byleth immediately let out a bitter, agonizing scream that sounded like he was in a lot of pain. Romel ruthlessly tormented Byleth in Zayn’s witness, and to many people, it was an extremely unbearable sight to behold. “Arghh!” Byleth could only scream out in agony though he could not call out his surrender only because Romel was clutching his throat so tightly that he could not finish a complete sentence. Byleth was already covered in wounds and his body was drenched in blood during this short period of time. Romel had cruelly broken his arm as well. “That’s enough!” Zayn could not bear to watch any more, so he shouted aloud, “Let go of Sergeant Constantine and I may spare your life.”He could not keep his cool anymore at last as he watched Byleth writhe in excruciation from being tormented. However, Romel chuckled. “Zayn, do you really think that you’re unparalleled in this world that you get to spare my life?”Upon saying that, he began to continue tormenting Byleth. By
All at once, he stood over there in a daze, gnashing his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing else he could do. It had already been such a long time since he felt so powerless!Romel was doing everything to rub him the wrong way. His murderous intent for Romel grew even stronger than he had ever felt for anybody else. Noticing that Zayn had yet to reply after a long time, Romel’s expression grew solemn and cold. He grunted and said, “Why, you won’t bow down? It seems that you’re a fake country hero who has no regard for your countrymen.”Upon saying that, he continued to exert strength in his hand once again in an attempt to crush Byleth’s neck. “Hold on!” Zayn shouted aloud as he watched Byleth’s tortured expression of being choked to death. Upon hearing that, Romel gave a cruel smile once again. “There’s a saying in Rheasia that those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes. Zayn, you’re a wise man, so you should know what to do.”Z
The entire scene was quiet for three seconds before a huge commotion broke out instantly as all the Rheasian fighters boiled over with rage. They were constantly running in from all directions in an attempt to get into the ring and beat Romel to death so that they could avenge Sergeant Constantine!“Gah! Sergeant Constantine is dead. Let’s go and kill the b*st*d together so that we can avenge Sergeant Constantine!”“I’m going to kill you!”“Sergeant Constantine…”Even Romel was startled by the current situation. He was scared because he would not be able to resist all these Rheasian fighters if they were to have a go at him together. Instinctively, he wanted to back out of the ring at once.However, his path was blocked by a figure. He focused his vision to take a look and found a solemn face looking back at him. The figure’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, sending a shiver down his spine in an instant. His heart was racing and he felt terrified. It was because the per
They felt their hearts bogged down even more at this very moment. It was a crushing blow to all the members of the Insurgent Trifecta even more. Byleth had still been lively and talking jovially to them earlier, yet he had turned into a soulless corpse now. Many of the special agents from the Dragon’s Blood squadron were in so much misery with many of them even shedding tears. Joe and the others heaved a sigh heavily after sensing the emotions, feeling at a loss for words. Before the martial arts cup event, they had never expected that the situation would take a turn like this. It was too tragic and heartbreaking for them. They could not imagine the emotional turmoil that Zayn was feeling in his heart while they were in so much pressure and emotional now. Zayn did not walk too far away after he left the arena. Instead, he made his way to a park. He placed Byleth's corpse down before shutting his comrade’s eyes slowly. There were quite a number of people in the park, an
Zayn did look very scary now indeed. He looked totally like a wild beast on the edge of losing control. Moreover, he exuded a very powerful presence that startled the numerous people around him. The crowd of people began to take out their phones to call the police. Moreover, they stayed far away and dared not get too close to Zayn. If Joe and the others were here, they would have noticed that Zayn was starting to be delirious. It was a dangerous situation because in a mild case, he would turn weaker, but if it were severe, he would lose his mind!Moreover, the consequences of Zayn losing his mind now would be worse. Zayn was a super powerhouse under the invincibilis state, so it would be utterly impossible to restrain him. Moreover, losing one’s mind in this case would not weaken one’s power. Instead, it would only make the person more powerful. The so-called losing of one’s mind meant that the person would lose control over his consciousness, and by then, the person would engag
Zayn was constantly roaring angrily at himself in his heart to remind himself of the consequences. On the other hand, the people around him became even more terrified by the sight of him now. Quite a number of them took out their phones to take a video of him in succession. It would certainly make it to the front page of websites if they were to post it online. Zayn looked just like a wild animal now. It did not take long before the sound of a police siren was heard wailing from the roadside. The police were here and a large troop of policemen quickly rushed out of the cars Their expressions began to turn solemn when they saw that a corpse lying on the ground!A few younger policemen pulled out their guns, alert and combat-ready. They approached Zayn slowly in an attempt to capture him. “Don’t move! Put your hands up!”The police began to speak at last. Zayn could sense them approaching, so he raised his head with great difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot and his stare sent a s
Soon, the eyes of the watching townspeople and police turned blurry and their pupils began to lose focus. Then, they swayed unsteadily as if they were intoxicated before they dropped to the ground like flies. Meanwhile, the old man and Zayn were the only people remaining in the entire park. He had already made his way to Zayn while the younger man was still rolling on the ground in pain. It was an extremely ghastly scene that Joe and the others would certainly be terrified to witness! They would think that they were delusional because they could not understand the situation even if they were trained fighters. How could a fighter hypnotize so many people in an instant no matter how skilled he was?It was something that even a perfect-class master fighter could not do. Zayn was the only person who saw it. Even though his eyes were so bloodshot that his vision was all red, he could see a man walking to him in the blood-red world. The old man merely walked to him slowly, yet so many
