1320 Cooperate 2 (1/2)

”I won't be needing them for now,” Garen declined.

Garen got rid of these Demon-Hags who babbled on endlessly before flying toward the deeper parts of the swamp.

The ground of the swamp soon turned red gradually before a lofty black palace appeared in the distance. Numerous black War Puppets that were more than ten meters tall were patrolling the enclosing walls around the palace. These humanoid puppets with ox horns possessed extremely powerful shock forces. Since they were sturdy and durable, they were one of the best items that could be refined for guarding. One normal soul was all that was required to drive it for numerous years, making them extremely worthwhile.

Garen was obstructed by the War Puppets who refused to let him proceed any further. The level of the master here was unknown, and it was possible for various types of monsters to appear in the Abyss. There were no living creatures who dared to clash with an enemy for no reason. Hence, Garen did not force his way forward but withdrew and left instead.

He walked along another side before leaving this green swamp quickly.

However, he soon felt as if someone was watching him. After he had left the swamp, several little human silhouettes trailed him faintly.

Garen remained in his Dragon Whelp form. This physique looked extremely delicate and weak. Since it seemed like he was only at Level Four, it was not surprising that close-minded people were staring at him.

He found a hillock and flew there before descending in the shadows behind it. He turned around and waited for the pursuers behind him.

Shuffle shuffle…

Several faint noises could be heard before three translucent human silhouettes that were slightly distorted appeared at the top of the hillock. They were looking downward.

”Have we actually been discovered?” One of the people asked in a surprised tone.

Since they were already discovered, they did not bother to continue hiding. The Translucent Spell on their bodies vanished immediately. Three figures who were dressed in a silver armor were revealed. They were actually three knights.

A faint red Spirit Light was twinkling below their bodies. This faint red light was constantly centered around them. They radiated circles of blinding rays outward, representing their statuses as Blasphemy Knights.

The Blasphemy Knights were sentenced to be knights of the blasphemers by the Church of the Gods for various reasons. Most of them had entered the Abyss through special channels. This was the only way to prevent their lives and souls from being captured by the Gods and tortured forever.

After all, the Gods would punish the blasphemers extremely severely. Nonetheless, although the Abyss was a cruel place, it was still an opportunity for them to live.

Two of these three Blasphemy Knights were women while one of them was a man. They were not old and the armors that they wore on their bodies seemed to be of the same style.

”I want the skin and eyes of this Dragon Whelp, but you can divide the rest among yourselves,” said one of the female knights directly.

”I could tell that its eyes seemed strange with one look. It may be some type of treasure. It wouldn't be good for us to divide everything up so early on, right?” said the other female knight unhappily.

”The way I see it, it wouldn't be too late to discuss this again after getting rid of our opponent…” It seemed like the sole male knight had already detected that Garen was aware that something was amiss. His gaze was glaring closely at Garen.

”Were you three the only ones that followed?” Garen glanced behind himself unhappily. He focused carefully and realized that these three idiots had really trailed him. It looked like most of the other traders were much smarter in comparison…

He considered these three knights carefully. By looking at the forces of their Spirit Light, he could tell that they were at Level Four. Were these three Level Four individuals actually daring enough to hunt a Level Four Dragon Whelp in the Abyss? Perhaps they had special hidden moves. Was it possible that they were unaware that the creatures in the Abyss that looked weak were the one you should provoke the least?

In a place like the Abyss, everyone was afraid that their strength was not powerful enough to be displayed fully. Nonetheless, they had to exhibit their strength to prevent themselves from being bullied or oppressed. Only the most powerful beings would intentionally show signs of weakness to purposely entice the hunters and prey on them instead… Meanwhile, it was possible that true weaklings did exist among the local demonic creatures. However, none of the outsiders were abnormally weak.

”Go!”

The male knight drew his Greatsword first. The blade was dyed with a faint red Spirit Light, while his Level Four forces increased to Level Five immediately. By looking at the taut muscles throughout his entire body that was now enlarged, it appeared that he had used certain temporary means of strengthening his powers.

Ahh!

He charged towards Garen fiercely and swung his sword!

Bang!

His Level Five Greatsword struck Garen's head violently. Garen remained on his initial spot and did not move at all. There was not even a hint of white that remained on his scales.

However, a large crack had burst throughout the Greatsword.

The male knight's face turned pale instantly. Garen had initially assumed that he would discard his Greatsword before turning around and running away. However, an unwavering look appeared on his face instead as he roared and said, ”Rena, Irene! Run quickly!”

However, he did not retreat. Instead, he moved forward, continuing to charge toward Garen without surrendering.

The two female knights behind him reacted immediately when they were aware of the situation that had occurred. One of them ran off at once while the other was momentarily dazed. Next, she actually drew her sword and charged towards Garen. She clearly wanted to save her companion.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Interesting.” Garen extended his claws and gently blocked the cleaving motion of the Greatsword. He exerted a small amount of strength before the force throughout the male knight's entire body was instantly exhausted when he was shaken by an intense vibration. He fell on the side after being paralyzed.

”I'll fight you to the end!” The eyes of the female knight that charged forward were red now. She assumed that her companion had died and proceeded to use full force to explode a ray of red light towards Garen. She had apparently managed to leap to a Level Six force instantly!

As expected, those who were able to teleport themselves here from other planes were not weaklings… Garen sighed mentally. It was not a big deal for the dragon race to randomly encounter Level Five or Level Six powerhouses. However, among the humans, these powerhouses were a level that could only appear once in several thousand people.

He extended his claws and gently blocked the Greatsword that the female knight was slicing toward him. However, Garen instantly felt that something was amiss because the Spirit Light of the female knight's Greatsword had actually transformed into countless tiny red vines that tangled themselves around his claws firmly. Although the binding strength was negligible to him, this twining would be sufficient to cause most Level Five and Level Six powerhouses to tremble slightly. If their reactions were one beat slower, it was likely that this delay would mean the difference between life and death.
