Chapter 114 - Crossing The Endless Mist (IV) (1/2)
Not even a second has passed since Shad had dashed into the endless mist and a sudden ear-piercing shrill echoed out within the distance. Since then, the shrill screams continued to resound time and time again as Shad was slaughtering his way within the endless mist.
At this time, this place became hell. Shad was like a death reaper as he was killing the fleeing attackers one by one.
After failing to kill the 7 Novas, the members of the Eye thought that by retreating further within the endless mist, they would be safe because one could barely see twenty meters ahead in this place unless one uses its spiritual force to scan the area. Furthermore, they knew that the others wouldn't dare to take the risk in following them as they were retreating because they didn't know if there were more of them ahead, waiting to ambush them. However, out of nowhere a shadowy figure appeared and start killing them one by one.
That figure was so fast that they couldn't even see his face except for the traces of red lightning bolts he left behind as he moved from place to another with a lightning speed.
” Who, who the hell are you.?” The burly middle-aged man who was the leader roared loudly with a terrified look on his face. Although he was injured by an arrow, he was still able to use his full strength of a mid 7th rank warrior. However, he still wasn't able to keep up with that shadowy figure, let alone stop him.
Who was it who could move so fast within the endless mist, unhindered by the thick fog and killed his subordinates under his nose? From the information they were able to gather, the uncrowned emperor was the strongest of the Seven Novas. However, he was an earth mage and his speed was not that fast. The only person that used lightning among the 7 Novas was the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire. He was the only person that the leader could think of unless there was a high-level master hiding within the group. Plus, he didn't think that the 4th imperial was that powerful and fast. Even though there were rumors about how fast and strong the 4th imperial prince was, the leader didn't think it was to the extent where he could effortlessly kill his subordinates who were mostly mid-level warriors. Was it a powerful magical beast?.
Furthermore, no matter the conclusion or who that person was , It was still bad for him because that person or beast seemed like he won't stop untill he killed every last one of them.
While the leader was still trying to figure the identity of that person that was killing his subordinates,
” Puff.” Another one of his men fell down with his throat cut open and painted the ground red with his fresh blood.
At this moment, it was as if a fearsome devil was hiding within the endless mist. A terrifying shadow shrouded around the fleeing members of the Eye. No one had clearly seen who it was that was killing them? How did he do it? They were even more ignorant whether the next one to die would be themselves. This kind of unknown fear was the most terrible kind.
The 6th, 7th and the 8th members of the Eye suddenly fell down on the ground with fresh blood gushing out from their cutthroats. It was if a death's sickle was silently reaping their lives within the endless mist one by one
No matter whether they were 3rd rank, 4th rank, and 6th rank warriors, under the attacks of that shadowy figure, only death awaited them, only death reigned supreme.
At this time, there was no path to escape. No matter how fast they were, they couldn't escape the slaughtering of this shadowy figure. No matter how far they ran, they still felt as though they were being eyed by a poisonous snake.
Within the endless mist, nonstop screams for their mothers and fathers filled the air. All of them wished they could immediately leave this hellish place. Many of them pissed their pants from terror while screaming in fear and running for their lives. At this point, all of them were using their fastest speed to escape, but running form that shadowy figure was not an easy task.
” Am I .....Am I going to die here!” The leader's legs became weak from horror and his face was filled with dread. He tried to support his body as he shifted his gazes into the distance, watching the red streak of light followed by an earring buzzing sound appearing and suddenly disappearing within the thick endless mist and harvesting the lives of his subordinates one by one. Wherever it goes, an ear-piercing cry follow. The funny thing was, that shadowy figure came close to him many times and even killed a person that was next to him, yet that figure didn't even try to attack him. It was as though he was saving him for dessert which terrified him. He wanted to flee, but he knew that it was impossible to run away from that figure.
” Everyone stop running and come to gather here, lean against each other.” The leader roared loudly to his fleeing subordinates in a last dish of effort. He really didn't want to die today, however, none of them listened to him as they scattered like birds and running for their lives.
It was hard to describe what emotions were going through the leaders' head as he watched that demon reaping the lives of his men.
He was a mid 7th rank warrior and a high-level member of the Eye. Even though he was not part of the Elite group that had entered the Tower to personally look for the treasures left by Henry, he was still an important member. He was supposed to have a tremendous bight future ahead of him and even had the possibility of becoming an elite member of the Eye in the future after breaking through the 8th rank, but it was all about to disappear now.
