578 The Start of a Killing Spree (1/2)

”Don't worry, Anya. I'm not splitting the group with the thought in your mind.” Alex smiled, assuring her that he wasn't insane or had his feelings taken over his rationality. ”It could be said that we are the spear, Stina's group is the sword, while Fabio's group is the shield. I am preparing for the bigger war.”

Anya fell into silence after hearing his explanation. ”If that is the real reason, then I have no qualms.”

Hearing Anya's approval, Alex smiled and nodded. ”Thank you.”

Anya sighed. ”We can regroup first before attacking them… but the situation might not be in our favor, forcing us to attack them quickly. I have some images of what kind of situations those are, but I believe this is the best combination.”

Alex nodded before a roar came from his left. He turned around and saw a 5-Star Martial Emperor tiger charging at him. The sword appeared in his hand as Alex waved his swords.

”Triple Draws!”

Like other people who experienced Alex's sword for the first time, the tiger quickly realized the first swing. The tiger tried to bite the sword to stop it before noticing the second and third slash. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Knowing that he couldn't dodge this attack, it channeled all of its energy to strengthen the part that would be struck by Alex's sword.

”Roar Roar!”

The tiger let out roars as it managed to block the strike toward its attack, but failed to block the two strikes aiming at its front legs.

After regaining its composure, the tiger quickly made its distance from Alex while observing him with its sharp eyes. Unfortunately, both Anna and Artur already appeared beside the tiger, swinging their respective weapons.

Without holding back their strength, they slashed the tiger without holding back. For the tiger, Anna and Artur were overkill as their weapons cut his body cleanly.

”Ro-uu…” The Tiger let out a shrill as it realized that he died.

”Good Work.” Alex nodded to Anna and Artur, looking at Artur take the privilege to gouge out their core from the body.

”What should we do now? We have made the plan already, so should we go now?” Anya asked.

Alex didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he took out Nelson's card and asked, ”Nelson, do the people here know about my identity? Or at least my Sword and Spear?”

”No. I don't hear anything about it even on the Nilis Continent. If you are going to use both weapons, I think they won't know your identity.” Nelson answered calmly.

'I see. Thanks.” Alex tossed the card inside the Inventory before saying, ”If I use both of my weapons, what do you think?”

”You already know that we have the guarantee of the Underworld. Even if we need to, we can just escape to that place and struggle our way there. This continent only has Martial Monarchs, so we should be fine there.” Alex explained.

”It's true that we should be able to struggle there… and your plan about the Blackwade Clan. Have you considered the local people here? Like this Martial Arts Pavilion… what will they do if they found out your power? Have you considered the possibility of them joining the Black Devil Sect to target you and mess up our plan?”

”I have considered it as well. We can simply use my teleportation to make a move at a time they would never expect. After all, we would move from this place and destroy their reinforcement before going toward the Underworld. At that time, they wouldn't have the chance to react.” Alex said with a serious expression.

Looking at his expression, Anya could only agree with him. ”Alright. We are going with your plan. After this, we should see whether we need to adjust our plan.”

”Yes.” Alex nodded with a smile. ”Alright. Seeing we have come into a conclusion, shall we start? Our mission this time is to kill monsters and Black Devil Sect. We can get their monster cores and EXP for you guys. I hope most of you reach at least 8-Star Martial Emperors.”

”We surely can. We are already 7-Star after all.” Anya nodded with a smile.

Alex looked at her for a while and turned around before pointing at three directions. ”Stina's group is going that way. Fabio's group is going this way, while my group will follow me in this direction.”

”Understood.” They nodded and disappeared from that place.

Their initial plan was to wipe as much as possible both monsters or Black Devil Sect members before relying on Narman to guide them. Alex encountered a few monsters and people along the way. They killed the monsters and spared the humans because none of them had the Blood Energy.

There wasn't a reason for him to stop in front of them either, even if they came from the five influences.

After a while, Alex suddenly halted his movement.

”!!!” Anna also stopped and asked, ”Why did you stop? Something caught your attention?”

”No. There are around thirty people in front of us, to which half of them had blood energy. They are fighting the monsters at the moment and have no sign of betraying or whatever.” Alex said, according to the view of his Spirit Eyes.

”Hmm… Shall we kill the monsters and Black Devil Sect members, or only the monsters or even all of them?” A cold glint flashed on Anna's eyes.

”Hmm… We don't necessarily need to kill other people unless they are in our way. Our priority target will be the Black Devil Sect and their space rings while killing the monster for EXPs is a bonus. If those people stop us from killing Black Devil Sect, then kill them as well.” Anna said after pondering for a minute.

”Yeah. Let's do that.” Alex nodded.

Suddenly, Anya pouted, confusing Alex and the others. ”I thought this was my unlucky day since Alex denied my plan a few times.”

”Haha… This is not.” Alex chuckled, while Anna and Sherry rolled their eyes.

”Master, can we make some big move for a diversion or something?” Sherry asked.
