44 Chapter 44: Andrew Appears! The Deathmatch Begins! (1/2)
Back at the Gardenford Restaurant..
Dylan and his companions were fighting with the spirit beasts that surrounded the Restaurant. The three tanks were singlehandedly taking care of the north and east sides as they overwhelmed the monsters like war machines. Dylan took care of the south while his employees struggled in the west flank.
The restaurant has suffered considerable damage and it has not even an hour before the strike. The numbers of the original spirit beasts has been reduced to 150 but they kept increasing as new ones replaced the dead ones! They keep coming back to their peak number of 300!
Another hour has passed, Dylan felt like he already killed over two hundred beasts. The employees were able to kill over 450 spirit beasts while the three tanks were able to kill about 700 beasts. Fortunately, the vanguard unit was able to arrive in time so they were able to completely eradicate the beast horde of Spirit Veins Realm! Dylan felt that there was more or less 1400 spirit beasts that appeared. He scanned the area and mountain of corpses could be seen and he could see that all of his employees were already tired and out of breath if another attack were to happen then they would be wiped out.
Most of his employees were already injured and a minority was severely injured. Dylan felt how insufficient his strength was but he could not dwell on that matter yet because there are other important matters he needed to pay attention to. He was in high alert as he scanned the surroundings because he feared that there would be another attack.
To recover his strength, Dylan crushed ten primal stones. Although primal stones were already obselete in increasing his strength, they were still enough to replenish his energy.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Dylan became vigilant as he questioned, ”Who's there?”
”Hahaha, what a wonderful struggle you displayed, Dylan. I was quite amused as I watched. Hahaha.” A person wearing a black robe slowly walked out from the shade of the wild. He was slowly clapping his hands as unspeakable coldness could be felt from him as though he was...
already dead.
”Andrew! Did you do this?!” Dylan angrily questioned him!
”This? Well, yes, it was all part of my revenge! Mwahahaha!” Andrew laughed maniacally.
”How could you put all those innocent people in harm's way?! Do you still possess even the slightest conscience inside of you?!” Roland protested angrily. Although he was completely tired, he just couldn't keep in the anger he felt for this man!
”Oh who are you? Hahaha, pfft. You ask, why? Why?! HAHAHA, it's all because of this man! He took away everything from me! If it wasn't for him, I would still have everything I had! My future, my talent, and my money! It's all because of him!!!” Andrew's hatred to Dylan showed like an eruption. He was fuming in anger everytime he saw Dylan's face!
”But that doesn't give you the right to put anyone's life into harm's way!” Larry reprimanded him as well.
”That's right! If you really wanted to settle everything with sir Dylan, you should have done so face to face! But you couldn't because you're nothing but a coward!” Jason seconded.
”If you were a true man, you should have just accepted your defeat at the hands of sir Dylan when he defeated you back at the Vigor Hotel!” Rick voiced his anger as well.
”That's, right!” Scott agreed with haste.
”Yeah!” John strongly felt the same as well!
”SHUT UP!” Andrew's aura became even more cold and chilly as dark clouds started to appear from his feet and his hands! He stretched his arms and subsequently six arms formed from the dark clouds that Andre was conjuring. He aimed at Rick, Scott, John, and everyone who spoke. The six hands grabbed their necks and started lifting them up to the air!
”What are those?!” Everyone else was shocked when they saw how those dark hands formed and grabbed the necks of Jason, Larry, Roland and everyone who voiced out there opinions!
”You bastard!” Frank cursed Andrew.
”DIDN'T I SAY TO SHUT THE FUCK UP??!!!” Andrew was extremely angry at the moment and the slightest noise annoyed him greatly. He formed another dark hand from the dark and grabbed Frank by the neck and lifted him up to the air as well.
The seven men were trying to do their best to get out of the bindings of these hands but they were not able to do so because it was too resilient and tough to destroy. They tried attacking it but they were unable to destroy as it slowly regenerates.
”Andree, stop what you're doing right now!” Dylan dashed towards him and executed the [Four Soft Steps-Perfection].
”Hahaha, you imbecile, my strength is far stronger than what it used to be and I can easily block any single one of your attacks! Hahahaha, I'm easily comparable to those three old fools! Mwahahaha!” Andrew confidently said as the black clouds conjured a shield. The shield further fluctuated and had formed dark spikes that were later shot to the charging Dylan.
” You are not the only one who got stronger!” Dylan used his [Four Soft Steps-Perfection] to its fullest extent. He sidestepped and leaped past the spikes. The spikes were only able to graze his clothes but not cost much damage when he was evading all of them. He looked like he was dancing rather than he evading the projectiles. His movements were refined and flexible as he escaped the spikes.
When he arrived at the shield, he sidestepped and leaned to the left side of the shield where Andrew could be found. He spinned to the side until he was able to arrive in front of Andrew. Dylan changed his stance and executed the [Boulder Breaking Fist-Perfection].
