Chapter 85 - Capturing Lhun Marchand (2/2)

Many of the surrounding trees were upooted following the explosion. The ground was dyed black and countless ashes danced with the wind.

The robed man's body was thrown far away because of the explosion. His body was still intact because of armor he was wearing. The mask that covered his face suddenly cracked and a pale blue face with burnt marks all over it can now be seen. His crimson red eyes contained a sense of regret and hatred as he stared the calm blue sky. 'I was played with. The humans actually had this kind of expert.' He thought to himself before the light inside his red eyes was gone.

Purple blood flowed out of his mouth as his breathing stopped. The bomb attached on the dagger was a small Energy Bomb that Cale bought from 'The Black Market'. He gave some to Zero several days ago as it may come in handy during his missions.

The Energy Bomb was a powerful weapon that costed Cale five million Black Coins each, but its power was enough to kill an Emperor-Class fighter if caught unprepared. So despite Cale's aching heart, he bought more than a hundred with him.

And the dead demi human would never have thought that humanity actually had this kind of bomb with them. He was complacent and confident, and due to him underestimating humanity, he died a humiliating death.

***

Inside the Marchand Family estate.

Lhun Marchand stood up from his seat after hearing the loud booming sound produced by the explosion of the Energy Bomb. The robed man behind him glanced outside the window and felt the strong energy produced from that explosion. He could not believe it, but to think that the humans actually had this kind of weapon.

'How powerful! That explosion was enough to kill an Emperor-Class level fighter! How can the humans have this kind of weapon?!' He was absorbed in his own thoughts that he had even failed to sense the presence of someone inside the room.

Zero who was now inside the room saw that the two were occupied by the explosion. 'It is time!' He dashed with his full speed and threw his dagger on the robed man's neck.

”Puchi!”

”Rghhgr.” The robed man emitted a gurgling sound as the dagger pierced him accurately. He clutched his neck which was now bleeding purple blood and knelt down on the ground while glancing at the man clad in black clothes with a shocked expression. He was now holding Lhun Marchand by the hair and the latter could only flail his limbs madly as Zero lifted him by the hair, but Zero's hold was tight and escaping his hold was impossible.

”Thud!”

The other demi human dropped on the ground with his eyes wide open. Purpled blood flowed on the ground ceaselessly while Zero and Lhun Marchand's silhouette can no longer be seen inside the room.

Several individuals clad in the same long black robe came inside the room, their expressions hidden by their mask, but the overpowering aura that they were producing could make any men tremble in fright.

They saw a slightly messy room and one of their companions who was still clutching his neck as he gurgled purple blood. Before they can even approach him, they realized that he already stopped moving.

The leading demi human among the group glanced at his dead underling with a contorted expression which was hidden by his mask, and his rising aura brought chills towards the other demi humans inside the room.
