The shadow suddenly broke apart, with the broken part of the darkness reforming into a solid object; a large chunk of a leg. And then the shadow begin to shudder before reforming into a complete figure. The black-robed guard was currently furious; he was cursing to himself, “Fiends? All you can do is gang up on others!”
Opole was laughing coldly as he transformed into a bolt of lightning, once more entering battle against the black-robed guard.
“Big Brother, come over, quickly!!!” The black-robed guard suddenly let out an explosive roar.
Following the roar, the faces of both Crompton and Opole, who was in mid-combat, both changed.
“Have to end this battle fast!” Opole didn’t want to go all out, but he no longer had a chance. Bellowing with rage, his body began to distort as he transformed into a ray of bluish-black lightning which mercilessly struck towards the black-robed guard.
“Die.” Opole’s bellow could be heard echoing in the room.
The black-robed guard’s face changed dramatically, but at the same time, he viciously swung out with his saber, which transformed into an illusory black shadow as it swept out towards that bolt of lightning.
“Bang!”
A terrifying energy ripple that caused even the cracks on the walls to expand.
The two of them hunched over, then fell to the floor. Opole was already dead, while the black-robed guard, despite having exhausted all of his spiritual energy, hadn’t died yet.
“You want to kill me, but your soul defense was far weaker than mine?” The black-robed man chuckled.
“Whoosh!” A human figure suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed guard.
The black-robed guard’s face changed. Lifting his head up, he saw the savage-faced Crompton, who was wielding a long saber. “Die!” Crompton, ignoring all else, chopped down towards the black-robed guard with his saber. The long saber pierced through the air, seemingly instantly arriving in front of the black-robed guard’s eyes.
“Ah!!!!”
Bound by the ‘Gravitational Field’ and heavily wounded, the black-robed guard howled angrily. Ignoring all else, he brandished his blade again, once more using his soul attack.
“Clang!”
The sabers collided, and their souls attacked each other!
In terms of profoundness of soul attacks, the black-robed guard was indeed more formidable than Crompton, but his spiritual energy had been almost exhausted by now. Crompton, however, hadn’t had his power affected much. A head-on collision like this meant that they were essentially on par.
“Bang!” The black-robed guard borrowed the force of the collision to fly back and retreat.
However…
In the instant when Crompton had struck out with his long saber, with a flip of his wrist, he had suddenly shot out a dagger from his hand as well.
“Slash!” The dagger buried itself into the black-robed guard’s body.
The black-robed guard fell from mid-air, landing at the corner of the wall. His eyes were filled with resentment, absolute resentment!
“You aren’t willing to accept this?” Crompton snickered.
Crompton knew that he was weak, which is why he had spent money to buy expensive soul poisons, which he had stained his dagger with. This flying dagger was Crompton’s greatest weapon, and it also contained the ‘Strength’ profound mystery of the Laws of the Earth.
As the black-robed guard was already heavily injured, upon being hit, he immediately died.
“Opole, you always showed off in front of me! You always ordered me around and looked down on me!” Crompton’s face was savage, and he stared coldly at the two Fiend corpses in front of him. Right now, he was extremely wild. “But today, I, Crompton, am the survivor, right? Haha…and I acquired this black moon ring as well. I’ll immediately become a Four Star Fiend.”
With a wave of his hand, Crompton collected the two Fiend corpses, and then looked towards the black-robed guard’s corpse.
But…
The ground was empty.
The corpse was missing!
“How…how is this possible?” Crompton stared, his eyes turning round.
Two Fiends had died, while he, Crompton, had risked his life as well before finally killing that black-robed guard. But now the body of that black-robed guard was missing?
“Hurry up and go!”
Linley and the other three flew at high speed out of the secret corridor, back to the fourth floor.
“Haha, Crompton is going to feel ‘awesome’ about that, haha.” Bebe was extremely delighted.
The black-robed guard’s corpse was next to the wall, just a meter or so away from the cracks in the wall. Linley’s team naturally immediately moved closer to the cracks in the wall, then immediately stored the corpse into an interspatial ring.
Generally speaking, anything at close range could be stored into an interspatial ring.
Crompton’s gaze immediately fell onto the wall and the cracks in it that had been caused by the battle.
“Aaaah, inside!” Crompton instantly understood.
“Bastard!” Crompton immediately bellowed. He charged straight towards the wall, using a full strength vicious attack with the Profound Mysteries of ‘Strength’. The already-cracked walls, with a ‘boom’, shattered apart, revealing a giant hole. Behind the hole was the secret tunnel.
“Moon ring, my moon ring!” Crompton’s heart was filled with resentment.
With a moon ring, he would have completed the mission, which meant that he not only would get an enormous reward, he would also become a Four Star Fiend.
“Where’d they run off to?” Crompton stood in the middle of the hole, staring into the two ends of the secret tunnel, not able to make up his mind for the moment. But right at this moment…
“Swish!” “Swish!”
Two figures suddenly appeared in the room. It was two black-robed guards.
“You killed Fifth Bro?” The two black-robed guards stared at Crompton.
Crompton turned his head and was instantly terrified. A single one of these guards was already very difficult to deal with; now two of them came?”
“Flee!” Crompton no longer cared about anything else, choosing to charge straight up. And this direction was the same direction which Linley’s group had fled towards.
