The Dark Slayer's

[S3] Chapter 32: Rank 21

Before the attack on the city of Heels began, 3 men were standing facing the throne. On the throne, there is a large figure with a red robe and a silver crown.

One of the three men, Night who was in the middle kept his mouth shut for some time. The other two are like that too. This makes the room more quiet and increases the pressure in it.

"So ... You guys ran away after seeing that level 1 Energy Eater?" ask the big figure above the throne.

"I'm sorry, sir. We know that his powers are so different from ours...." With a tremble, Night tried to explain the situation.

The large figure above the throne was slowly descending down. As he walked, the pressure felt by Night and the two people next to him increased tremendously.

"When did I teach you to be cowards?" The big figure had become thin, the claws were so long, and his eyes were giving off a red glow.

"Tu .. Mr. Dish, understand, if we fight, we will definitely die!" This time, the young man next to Night took over the role of Night. He is Jahad.

"Jahad, this is the second time you and Prison have failed a mission. I don't know if it's worth giving you one last chance...."

"Even though you finish us off. You still won't get anything. It's just a free act." Jahad was about to argue.

"All right, I'll give you a chance. At least prove to me that you who have ever been saved, are worthy to serve me." The figure with the long claws turned around, again sitting on the throne. "Or I'll detonate an explosive spell inside your body."

Night turned his gaze toward Jahad and Prison. They both were seen sweating coldly and trembling. However, Night's condition was the same.

"And Night." Suddenly the figure above the throne distracted me. "If you fail, then I have no reason to let him live...."

Instantly Night gasped at the figure's statement. This time he could only gulp and hope that he would not fail again in carrying out the mission.

"Well, Mr. Dish the strongest Tan!" Full of prestige, Night hit his own chest.

"Good...." The Dish called the strongest Tan then raised his crown for a moment. "Remember that your failure cannot be accepted. Now, go!"

Vord clenched tightly into both hands, his eyes staring intently at the man who was up there. His teeth were cracking, so eager to finish off his opponent now without mercy.

"Nights...." A gray aura enveloped Vord's body and the gray creature on his back grew. "This time I'll never let you get away with it!"

"Hey, hey! Don't forget us."

Sontak Vord turned to the source of the voice. There, Jahad pulled out his Blue Sky Sword. Not only that, in a different direction there Prison had changed into a black figure with long claws.

The wind blew, blowing dust into the air. Vord took a deep breath, then exhaled it slowly. He has now won himself for a while.

"You three want to fight me? Isn't that cheating? It's just like I'm dealing with death, you know?" Vord wanted to laugh, but he realized that this was not the time.

"Haha, you finally understand that you are already at the gate of death." Jahad slashed his sword several times without hitting anything.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe you're right. Dan, you know what? I won't die in vain...."

"Do you want to fight? I hope you don't make yourself sorry."

"Repent? You're wrong big time. You're the ones who will regret dealing with me!" Although an instant, can be seen Vord eyeballs emit a red flash.

"He's not alone!" From the back, there appeared so many Energy Eaters. Among them, Starla immediately stood to the right of Vord.

"Why are you back? Escape in the underground Shelter!" It seemed like the Vord refused to accept their determination all.

"All right! If this is your choice, then be prepared to lay down your lives! Protect all the inhabitants, don't let them die!"

Suddenly the ground shook violently, the Tan herd then stopped approaching.

Vord and his group try to balance themselves, and soon the vibration stops. The Vord's footing had already been seen cracking, and the crack had expanded even more as its gray aura increased.

"Starla, can you deal with that black figure over there?" Vord whispered to Starla.

Starla turned her head, observing for a moment the creature meant by Vord. Before long he nodded his head. "Leave it to me. He won't escape my black lightning."

"Alright, please. And, don't push yourself. When you've reached the limit, get as far away from here as possible...."

Hearing those words, Starla shook her head. "I'll stay with you. Until the end, Mr. Hasle."

"It felt like all this time I introduced myself to Vord. Other than the level 1 Energy Eater, only one person I'm telling you that name."

"I'm glad you remember me."

"I can't believe the weak girl I saved from the Chimeras of that time became so strong."

"Hehe, this is for the sake of surpassing you."

"Then show it to me!"

In an instant, Vord shot upwards, about to attack Night. However, the Tan returned to his feet, and Jahad had also darted after him.

"Him!" The large, gray figure on Vord's back broke away. The figure was immediately faced with Jahad who was about to attack Vord from behind.

The vord was still covered in a gray aura. Using one hard punch he attacked Night from the front. However, Night launched consecutive black fireball attacks. The Vord must withstand the attack.

"Stupid! You're gonna see your town destroyed right up here!" Night made a black flame that floated, locking Vord up like a bird.

"You think I'm just gonna shut up, huh?" Vord took out his Zero Sword, cutting Night's fire cage so easily. "I'm sure I'm making you sorry today!"

"Did?" A sly smile floated on Night's face. "My rank is even one level above yours, but you dare challenge me? This time, there's no more doubt in me to finish you off."

"You should've wiped me out a long time ago if you were strong. But, you even have abilities that can be said to be equal to or even worse than me...."

***

Down there, the Energy Eaters gathered at the protective boundary of the city. They only attacked the Chimera, knowing that it would be impossible to defeat Tan. However, they also attacked the Tan's using long-range attacks.

While on the other hand, Starla was fighting at lightning speed with Prison. The physical strength of the two was about the same, and it was fortunate that Starla was wearing the Black Scales Sword so that it was able to compensate for Prison.

Starla and Prison retreated very far. Black lightning seemed to envelop Starla's body with her sword.

This guy is strong, Starla thought. He was even able to match me who was the strongest tier 2 Energy Eater, or a tier 1 Energy Eater candidate ranked 21.
