Chapter 449 - Black blood man (2/2)

Ignoring his injuries, he decided to soldier on, running towards the strong power. His wounds were still bleeding greatly, and the more he moved the more they were starting to open up. The reason being was the attacks had been infused with Ki. With more Ki than Ray had experienced before.

The Ki had been laced on the tip of the spear, and it would alter his structure slightly when piercing him. Making it hard for him to heal from such wounds. Still, he was going to see what was going on, injuries or not.

Running through the city a trail of black blood could be seen following a certain man.

Now with each of them with their weapons in hand, it was a lot easier for them to fight against the beasts. Still, it was a difficult task.

Martha had been using her bow, attacking the beast around her. Every time someone would scream, she would be distracted and would choose to try to save as many lives as possible. As for Kyle, when swinging out his heavy chain and weight, the beast had received a few slashes to it.

It looked like it was faring well and Kyle hoped to tie it up. That was until the beast had cut the chain to pieces, causing it to fall to the floor.

'This… it's definitely an infected king tier at least.” Roy said. ”It has the strength of an emperor tier beast.”

After seeing what had happened to Kyle's weapons, Harry was a bit fearful of what would happen to his own. So when deflecting attacks, he would make as little contact as possible with the majestic-like beast with four arms.

When looking at his swords, he could see that they were slightly chipping away.

”Just keep dealing it,” Roy said. Roy, for some time now, had been gathering up a condensed powerful fireball. He knew out of all of them, he most likely had the strongest attack power there. Now wasn't the time to worry about being found out. This was a matter of life and death, and he needed to do something.

Harry and Kyle continued to distract the beasts, and whenever Martha would get the time, she would help out as well as for Slyvia. She was dealing with her own problems. Every time she would try to gather her own Ki to get in the fight, she could feel thatch was drawing a dark power into her from something else.

Because of this, she was being cautious about going in. Without the use of Ki, she wouldn't be helpful at all.

Most of the attacks were being deflected by Harry, while the other two were being used as a distraction. Martha's king tier weapon was able to hurt the beast, but with just using wind magic arrows, it was only enough to cause the beast to flinch a little.

Finally, Harry's two swords had given in, he deflected another attack, and his swords had shattered.

”Move!” Roy had shouted.

A large fireball bigger than any before had come out and hit the beast away for a few seconds. It didn't look like an ordinary fireball, for this was deep red in colour. It managed to hit the beast squarely in the chest, sending it back a few feet. A few seconds later, a large explosion of flames arose.

”That fire user is incredibly strong. Nearly as strong as Ray's ability. Who the hell is he?” Harry thought.

The group waited for the smoke to settle. They all looked nervously as they could see a shadow start to appear, and finally, the beast could be seen.

”No, no way!” Martha shouted.

The beast looked completely fine. Not only that, but it looked different from before. Strange shadows shifted covering the chest of the creature where the fireball had attacked. It looked like the beast hadn't been hurt by the mighty blow at all.

”It's like the true infected,” Sylvia said. The ever-moving shadows, moving to where one would attack. It was the first time they had seen something like this on a beast.

With Roy using his most powerful attack, Sylvia out of the fight, and the two boys without any weapons, it all seemed hopeless.

However, as the last bit of the smoke started to disappear, another figure could be seen. When it all eventually went away, they could see someone's back, and below his feet, a very small pool of black blood.

It continued to run down the man's legs, only growing bigger.

”It's that man.” Roy thought. ”The one he had been following. The one known as Nes.”

”Ray!” The others shouted.
