Chapter 328 328:Tracking And Hunting[II]
"Hahaha! You won\'t feel a thing."
The first troop member, reaching Leon in a flash, swung down a massive greatsword as tall as himself.
"It\'s time to test the result of my training."
Just as the greatsword was about to cleave Leon\'s head,
Thud-
Leon\'s palms, having risen slowly, held the side of the greatsword.
In that instant…
The greatsword shattered as if it were made of glass.
"...!"
The eyes of the troop member who had wielded the greatsword widened in shock.
Leon\'s other fist, wreathed in darkness, obliterated his head.
"What!"
A horrified cry burst from a burly man with a thick beard who was charging from behind, stunned by the unbelievable sight.
With a single step, Leon, now standing directly in front of the man, launched his already cocked fist without hesitation.
The burly man swiftly pulled his double-edged axe to the front in defense.
A deafening sound echoed as Leon\'s fist collided with the man\'s axe.
Leon\'s fist momentarily stopped.
\'He blocked...!\'
Relief momentarily filled the burly man\'s eyes.
With a surge of dark energy, Leon\'s fist shattered the man\'s axe, shooting straight through and then,
Instantly obliterated his head.
Before the man\'s body hit the ground, Leon cloaked in darkness, advancing toward his next opponent.
A barrier that inhibits the use of qi?
So what?
From the outset, Leon himself couldn\'t use qi, and the dark energy wasn\'t composed of qi either.
Hence, he wasn\'t affected in the slightest.
Slash!
A woman with brown skin surged from behind Leon, swinging her two daggers.
However, Leo, who seemed to have anticipated her movements, stepped forward and lightly dipped his head to evade the daggers.
Simultaneously, Leon\'s elbow, naturally thrusting backward, targeted the woman.
His movement was so swift that the woman\'s head vanished without a trace, accompanied by the sound of the air shattering.
"Damn it! Attack him simultaneously!"
One of the troops, a flicker of fear dawning as he watched Leon relentlessly eliminating his companions, cursed loudly as if to cast aside his trepidation and charged at Leon n.
Heeding his call, four troop members converged on Leon n from all directions.
"Well, that makes things easier and more entertaining."
Leon, observing them with a smirk, gently tightened his fist.
He launched a wide-range skill that had previously eradicated a swarm of carnivorous insects during a succession ceremony.
In an instant, a wave of darkness erupted from Leon, engulfing the oncoming enemies.
"Arrghh!"
The troops of black demons were swept away by the dark surge, torn to shreds.
With that, Leon, having swiftly ended the writhing troop members by crushing their heads, immediately embarked on hunting his next quarry.
"This, this is...."
Jeff muttered, watching the spectacle with a countenance of disbelief.
His previously confident gaze now held no room for leisure.
Crash! Crash! Crunch!
One hit per person.
Each movement marked the extinction of one life.
A staggering chasm.
The troops, veterans of countless perilous missions, were falling far too easily.
From where had this fiendish creature emerged?
They were the ones whom people feared but everything seems to be reversed here.
If they were Demon, this guy was a fucking devil.
And why the hell was this guy killing by crushing and bursting heads?
And something even more perplexing baffled him.
"How... how can he wield so much power in the barrier?"
The darkness, blazing vividly even within a qi-blocking barrier.
It was undoubtedly a manifestation that could not be conceived without the mastery of qi
"Consider yourself unfortunate."
Leon, having exterminated all the troops and now advancing towards Jeff, echoed the same words that Jeff had earlier spoken.
But the sentiment embedded in those words was starkly different.
Then,
Bang!
A gunshot resonated.
A sniper, who had been concealed at a distance since before the battle initiated, had squeezed the trigger targeting Leon.
A blueish beam of light tore the space aiming at Leon.
If it hit, it was surely kill…
However,
The laser beam. discharged from the sniper\'s firearm came to a standstill in front of Leon\'s throat.
The peculiar darkness enveloping the bullet.
The laser beam was blocked by his dark ghost who sacrificed themselves.
[My liege, please allow us to dismantle that son of bitch…]
Kraft\'s image flickered.
"Ah...."
The moment a desperate sound escaped from Jeff\'s mouth,
With a subtle gesture from Leon, a shadow-like darkness surged forth from the sniper, entirely consuming him.
Jeff\'s eyes widened as the sniper just disappeared out of nowhere.
"What the fuck?"
Having efficiently disposed of the sniper as well, Leon resumed his approach towards Jeff.
Jeff\'s gaze, fixed on Leon, began to fill with a blend of despair and terror.
\'How on earth can I kill that....\'
Victory is impossible.
\'So then....\' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Having made up his mind, Jeff dissolved the nearly shattered qi-blocking barrier entirely and unleashed a premeditated sword attack at Leon.
The most formidable strike he could muster at the moment.
Jeff\'s sword clashed with Leon\'s hand, generating a shockwave of unparalleled magnitude.
A cloud of dust billowed in the aftermath.
But that was all it achieved.
Leon, emerging from the dust cloud, was entirely unscathed.
However, one detail had changed.
Jeff, who had previously been within striking distance, was now a mere speck in the vast expanse.
From the outset, he had intended that blow as a means to escape.
"Remarkable, you didn\'t forget about your plan."
Leon chuckled as he watched Jeff\'s retreating silhouette diminish into the distance.
Everything was transpiring as per his plan.
Leon hadn\'t planned on concluding his hunt that evening at this rudimentary level.
\'Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have bothered initiating it.\'
That\'s why he deliberately appeared here and that\'s why he purposefully allowed one to escape.
He displayed their brutal demise to instill fear, effectively impairing their ability to make rational judgments.
The one who escaped would undoubtedly lead him to their covert base.
"It\'ll be satisfying to decimate at least one base so do your job well Jeff.."
"Heheheheh."
...…
With that, Leon\'s languid eyes started to trail the dark path connected to Jeff.
Black Demons are often called the most feared terror group in the dimension.
Their belief was that the end and the beginning of the world were connected. To create a new world, they thought, the current one must be destroyed. They seemed more like a religion than a crime group.
Their influence spread all over the dimension, with many branches even in the human domain.
One of their secret branches was in the business district of Sector 3.
"It\'s too quiet."
In a big room at the top of a building, a man with green hair tied back in a bun spoke. He was looking out over the city.
This man\'s name was Bill.
He was the Elder of the branch.
"I don\'t like the way things are proceeding."
He didn\'t have a problem with plans rather he hated that he was not able to kill anymore.
The runes for teleportation use spiritual stones as energy but they use more efficient means.
It was none other than sacrifices. Instead of spiritual stones, they kill living beings as the power source which produces more energy.
Bill didn\'t like the peaceful night view of the city.
He wished for the city to be in chaos, on fire, and full of screams.
The cries of despair were his pleasure and excited him.
Unlike others, he wasn\'t a black demon rather he was human.
A human that had been trampled by an unjust society so he wanted nothing but the destruction of humans and to see them wriggle.
For this, he even sold his soul to a high-ranking Black Demon to gain power.
"But it won\'t be long now."
Muttering to himself, Bill looked at a huge circle of blood.
"I am sure Demorgan would have killed many. I wish I could hear all those screams is misery alas…"
\'Just like this, I hope we can advance the plans and crush the humans quickly."
He\'d be closer to seeing the city as he wanted it.
In his eyes, there was no way the Black Demons would lose with their vast forces.
After all, it was a mission led by Demargon one of the top leaders in Black Demons.
"Boss!"
One of his underlings rushed into the room, looking worried.
"What is it?"
"We\'ve got an intruder."
"An intruder? How many?"
Bill asked his underling, looking serious.
After all, this was a secret branch that no one had found out about before.
If they knew about this place, they would have a lot of information and power.
But his expression changed when he heard what his underling said next.
"There\'s... just one."
"...Is he crazy?"
For a moment, Bill looked at his underling as if he couldn\'t believe it, then spoke in a cold voice.
"What are you waiting for? Take him down."
He didn\'t know how the intruder had discovered their location, but surely one person alone could do nothing.
Yet, his perception quickly shifted.
