1898 Words
Chiaki's facial expression revealed a bitter smile filled with regret as he looked up at the sky, he muttered under his breath, "I can't even protect someone I think is very important anymore." “Hey, mom, what do you think you are doing right now? Is daddy okay with you mom? Looks like I can't come back alive to see you, I hope you two are doing well there… Although I don't know why you two left me alone, I do know that you two have your reasons for leaving me….” Chiaki looked up blankly, still remembering a smile and laughter from her parents when she was a child, but unfortunately, all of that can no longer be felt. As for Prince Alfred, he could only shake his head and sigh full of regret. He and Chiaki had done their best to hold on, but that could only delay a moment. Prince Alfred could only look at Chiaki who was beside him with a stern expression, “William, I have no regrets about joining your organization. Even though I can't protect you, but at least I can take Chiaki away from here with my life at stake.” The next moment, everyone looked towards the inside of the lava cave and waited for William's head to be pierced by Karl's spear strike. However, a strange sight immediately appeared in the vision of all of them. They saw the movement of Karl who was aiming his spear at William's head immediately stopped in midair within a few meters. It looked very strange like there was an invisible wall separating the two of them. At the moment when the power of Karl's spear was 30 centimeters from William's head, he suddenly saw the body of the black-haired young man in front of him had moved slightly. Then Karl saw a shadowy figure suddenly appear behind the black-haired man. The shadowy figure of the man had a black suit that resembled 19th century Europe, and a tall black hat that looked like a magician's hat. But what's interesting about the shadowy figure is not the clothes, but the shadow of the doll that is being entangled in the hands of the puppeteer. There is a warrior figure that is very similar to a humanoid crocodile. With the dark green scales of a crocodile appearing all over its burly body, and the sharp spear in the figure's right hand. It was very similar to Karl's Battle Soul. “Marionette Battle Soul Ability – Absolute Control!” Bang! Karl felt his brain being electrocuted as if an invisible force was moving towards him. He felt that the whole world had been shattered like a shard, everyone's bodies and the sounds around them were starting to disappear in his vision. “What exactly happened?!” Within seconds, he found he was in a very strange place. As far as the eye could see, Karl found nothing but complete darkness before his eyes. It immediately made Karl confused about what was happening to his surroundings. Just now Karl's attack was about to hit the head of the black-haired young man who was in the cave passage, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in this dark place. "Damn it! What exactly happened?!” Karl tried to move his body to escape, but he felt like his body couldn't move at all like he was bound by chains made of iron. "Ahhh!" Karl tried desperately to use all his strength, but it was all in vain. No matter how hard Karl drained his soul energy, it never got him out of this strange place. At that time he was attacking a black-haired youth who was meditating but did not know why he was suddenly in this place. Then a shadowy silhouette appeared in front of him, it was a black-haired youth who had previously been meditating in the cave passage. Behind the black-haired youth, there was a very familiar shadowy figure. It was a warrior figure that closely resembled a humanoid crocodile. With the dark green scales of a crocodile appearing all over its burly body, and the sharp spear in the figure's right hand. "What happened? Why is my Battle Soul behind that young man?” Karl felt very surprised when he saw the appearance of a black-haired young man in front of him. “Forcing me to use the absolute control ability, then I will let you feel the pain caused by this ability.” William's voice resounded throughout this strange pitch-dark world in an extremely nonchalant tone, as if this decision had come from the decree of a god. "Ahhh! Who are you? Let me go from this strange world!” Karl could only scream with horror and fear, he suddenly began to feel an incomparable pain in his soul consciousness. Gradually his soul consciousness began to dissipate like it was splintered into pieces. “Boss Reeve? What is Karl doing?!” A dozen people were confused by what his teammate Karl was doing. "I don't know either, this is the first time I've seen Karl act weird!" Reeve only responded by shaking his head and staring into the cave passage with narrowed eyes. “At the end what happened?!” Chiaki and Prince Alfred also looked at him with surprised looks. Just as they both thought William would be stabbed to death, they only saw that William's silhouette sitting in meditation in the cave passage slowly stood up. And a scene so terrifying happened that their hairs stood on end. Everyone saw that a sharp white piece that looked like a human bone had pierced through Karl's heart. "What's that?" At this moment everyone stopped fighting each other against Chiaki and Prince Alfreed due to the strange atmosphere around, they all could only focus their eyes on the cave passage. “This is the price you have to pay for bothering me!” William's voice was cold and indifferent without any emotion. After saying that, he pulled back the sharp white bone in his hand that was piercing Karl's heart. Everyone immediately knew that the white sharp object that had pierced Karl's heart had actually come from William's palm. Bang! In the next moment, William kicked and dropped the dead Karl into the lava lake at the edge of the cave passage. It instantly gave rise to a lava bubble that splashed upwards with the sound of burning flesh. Red blood slowly dripped from the sharp white bone that was in William's palm. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 200 Evolution Points for successfully killing a tier 9 Spirit Warrior!” "Ding! Congratulations to the hosts for earning 300 Evolution Points for successfully recycling the Crocodile Tusk Battle Soul!” William immediately ignored the notification from the system, he only turned to Chiaki and Prince Alfreed. When that happened, all of them could only stare at the scene in shock. “Karl was killed by a black-haired young man so easily? How is that possible!!!” They couldn't believe that a peak tier 9 Spirit Warrior like Karl had been killed so easily without showing the slightest bit of resistance. "William, you ..." Prince Alfred looked at William with a surprised look, he never thought he could survive the attack. Did that mean William had been awake a long time ago? It looked like he knew what was going on with the environment around him even though he was meditating. “You two get some rest, leave the rest to me!” William's body rushed forward towards the remaining dozen people and had to face them in the fastest time! Swosh! In the blink of an eye, William appeared in front of one of the peak level 9 spirit warriors. He made no other movement, only brought his palm close to the man's chest. The enemy did not respond slowly. When William's right hand approached, he had crossed his arms across his chest in a defensive position. Although not knowing what kind of ability the black-haired young man possessed to kill Karl, he became convinced after seeing William not using the white sharp object. But in the next moment, he suddenly started to feel pain in his chest. In the last moments of his life, he faintly saw sharp white bones protruding from the palms of the black-haired young man in front of him. His sharp white bones instantly pierced his arm and stabbed into his heart. “His bones? How could that possibly happen….” The man looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, when he looked closely at him he found that the eyes of the young man in front of him had pupils as red as blood. What frightened him the most was that those red pupils had been surrounded by an extremely dark black color. It was like being stared at by a bloodthirsty monster that was in a dark abyss. Red blood slowly dripped from the sharp white bone that was in William's palm. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 200 Evolution Points for successfully killing a tier 9 Spirit Warrior!” "Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 300 Evolution Points for successfully recycling the enemy's Battle Soul!” William immediately ignored the notification from the system, and removed the sharp bone in his palm from the man's heart. The moment William killed the man, a silhouette appeared behind him with high killing intent. William did not know when a long sword appeared in that person's hand, with his full strength, he directly stabbed into William's heart from behind. "Hahaha, this is what is called an eye for an eye friend!" The one who ambushed William was the last peak stage 9th level spirit warrior besides Reeve. In the eyes of everyone other than prince alfreed and Chiaki, this attack could 100 percent kill William. But it was a pity that they didn't know about William's Wrath of Eyes ability. Such a sneak attack looked ridiculous before his eyes. William didn't move back or dodge it, but only pushed back his right elbow to hit the man's heart directly. Stab! In an instant, a sharp white bone started sticking out of his elbow and stabbed straight into the man's heart. "What's that ...." “Bone, it's the bone itself. He actually used his bones to attack!” "Who's him?!" Everyone showed expressions of inexplicable horror, just imagine seeing someone's body pulling his own bones, then being used to attack others. It wasn't something a human could do, but rather a high-level monster whose bones were on par with a human's soul artifact. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 200 Evolution Points for successfully killing a tier 9 Spirit Warrior!” "Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 300 Evolution Points for successfully recycling the enemy's Battle Soul!” William ignored the notification from the system, he only turned his head towards the remaining dozen people and said nonchalantly, “Next is all of you!” His sinister gaze was like that of a devil's, with red blood dripping from the sharp white bone on William's elbow. Seeing this strangeness made everyone involuntarily back away, even Reeve without exception. In the eyes of all of them, the black-haired young man looked like a monster within human skin.
