Chapter 37 (2/2)

It was only natural that the master controlled the servant.

…

Seeing his beloved sword fall into the hands of the scarecrow, the Sword King’s face was filled with unwillingness.

He looked at the scarecrow with resentment. The teeth in his mouth were tightly clenched together, almost to the point of shattering.

However, he would not do anything superfluous.

This was his chance to survive by sacrificing the magic sword.

He was definitely not going to make a move that would end his own life.

Moreover, without Apophis’s support, the Sword King’s strength had already plummeted.

The current Sword King was merely an E+ weakling.

Flanders could also feel the change in the Sword King’s strength. He revealed a contemptuous look.

A person could only rely on external items to increase his strength. The moment he loses this item, his true form would be revealed and he would once again become trash.

“Today, I’ll spare your life.” Flanders’s cold words came out of his mouth and the Sword King immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid that the scarecrow would go back on his word after obtaining the magic sword. There would be nothing he could do about it then.

However, just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the scarecrow’s next words made him nervous again.

“However, I don’t care if your subordinates are willing to spare your life.”

After saying that, the scarecrow carried Apophis and leaped off the rooftop, leaving immediately.

The Sword King then realized that the other members on the rooftop were staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

“What, what are you trying to do?!

“I’m your department head, your superior, are you trying to rebel?!

“Killing your comrade’s a very serious crime. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by headquarters?!”

Looking at the other members who were slowly approaching him, the Sword King had a terrified expression as he backed away in panic.

However, the member who was originally fighting alongside him now said with a cold expression, “Department head? Superior?

“When you betrayed us just now, why didn’t you remember who you were?

“Accountability? Haha.

“As long as we don’t say anything, who’d know that you were killed by us?”

A sinister smile appeared on the faces of every member.

The intense killing intent had already materialized and it was pointed at the Sword King. It could no longer be concealed.

As for the Sword King, the terror in his eyes could no longer be concealed in the face of this intense killing intent.

[Fear points: +5,000.]

After receiving the last system notification, Flanders, who had already left, knew what had happened on the rooftop.

However, this had nothing to do with him.

What he needed to do now was to quickly leave this place and look for his next prey.

…

Ten minutes later, 11 figures arrived on the rooftop at the same time.

Looking at the corpses that littered the ground, Garros said in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned, “Did he escape?”

The ‘he’ Garros was referring to was naturally the scarecrow.

After receiving the information given by Teach, he immediately gathered his team members and rushed to Sarkos City as fast as he could.

However, he was still one step too late.

Nevertheless, knowing that the scarecrow was near Sarkos made things easier.

“Everyone, split up and search for the scarecrow.

“Zero, come with me to meet Teach.

“Disperse.”

In an instant, nine figures flew off in all directions at the same time, leaving only Garros, whose face was full of wrinkles, and a masked woman.

“Let’s go and find out what happened.”
