Chapter 959: Who Could You Even Kill? (2/2)

Three men ahead of Sanguis couldn't stop in time and rammed into a barrier, only to be repelled. None of them managed to barge their way through.

All of a sudden, a ferocious tornado, made from the divine energy of an overgod, formed near them. The air itself became the sharpest of blades that flayed the skin and flesh of the warriors before tearing their bodies apart in an instant.

Sanguis's eyes turned bloodshot. he drew his blood-colored sword that let out a beam five meters long, making the air smell of blood. Fresh blood seemed to flow around the sword itself, making it seem even more sinister. Sanguis's body turned into a bloody glow before fusing with his sword and piercing towards Miller's barrier at full speed.

With the sound of tearing, a large hole was opened in the barrier that could let three people pass through at once. Sanguis was the first one to go through it, with Bollands and Gilbert following behind. Some of their subordinates were quick to notice the opening and went in after, escaping the wind barrier.

However, some dozens of others weren't so lucky. Before they were able to escape, they noticed the hole had closed up. This time around, the barrier was reinforced with even denser wind elements, completely sealing off their escape route.

”Hmph!” Miller's expression was one of surprise, having not anticipated Sanguis's piercing through his barrier. Though he had put together the barrier casually on the spot, it still wasn't something that could be easily damaged. Sanguis's ability to channel all the force of momentum into a sharp point to be unleashed with the shortest impact time for unparalleled destruction broadened Miller's horizons.

With an even thicker layer of wind element reinforcing the barrier, Miller continued his assault using wind blades on the warriors that were left within it, turning them into bloody paste. He then turned into a gust of wind to flow through the barrier he made effortlessly to catch up with Sanguis and the rest.

”What about the rest?” Gilbert roared the moment he left the barrier.

Bollands didn't say a word. His expression was deathly cold. He knew that there were some warriors that couldn't make it. Fighters of their caliber definitely wouldn't last a few seconds against Miller. Gilbert's worry was unwarranted; they were sure to have died by now.

Seeing Bollands remain silent, Gilbert could already guess what had happened to them. His eyes reddened as he decided to turn back and put up a desperate fight. All of a sudden, his body stopped in mid-air; it seemed like he was no longer going to retreat.

”Grab him!” Bollands told Sanguis before he immediately stretched his hand out as well. He and Sanguis each managed to grab one of his arms before they flew back towards Pandemonium, ignoring Gilbert's protests.

”Little fellow, you have a really unique power. Haha... stay and let us investigate what exactly it is!” Miller said from behind them. All of a sudden, he surrounded the three of them with another wind barrier that couldn't even be compared with the one from before.

The moment Sanguis saw the barrier, he immediately turned back to glare at Miller. He knew that this time around, he wouldn't be able to breach the barrier, so he didn't bother to waste any effort on it. It would be more productive to fight Miller. Even if he couldn't kill him, he could at least hurt him somewhat if he fought hard enough.

The moment Bollands and Gilbert saw Sanguis give up on trying to escape, they knew that they were in a crucial juncture. It was as if they left the panic they had from before behind as they focused their hateful glares on Miller.

The other warriors stood quietly behind the three of them. Not one of them showed the slightest hint of weakness or fear. They seemed completely calm, as if death was nothing but a discomforting inconvenience for them that they had already prepared for.

Miller wasn't in a rush to attack. He made sure to take in the looks on their faces before he praised, ”As expected of elite troops like yours. It's no wonder Dhaka and the rest would crumble just like that. Well, now you have a choice to make. Either you surrender your souls immediately and swear allegiance to me or be killed by me right this instant!”

”Who could you even kill?” someone called from the depths of the area. A tear suddenly appeared beneath Bollands as a grim-looking Han Hao emerged with his bone spear. He glanced at Miller before turning to Bollands and the rest. ”You have no business here. Go back to Pandemonium from beneath!”

”Haha, I've heard much of your reputation, Han Hao. You sure do seem like you live up to it!” Miller said as he clapped excitedly. ”However, do you think you'll be able to protect them?”
