"I swear I'll kill him!!!" Akiah shouted furiously while stabbing the disgusting monster that attacked him.
But one second later, he was forced to tilt his head to the side.
*wwwing!*
Seeing the dagger cut off a strand of her hair, Akilah turned pale and looked at her sister.
"R-Raven?"
“... You can't kill him.”
"Gluk... Incidentally, is your dagger pointing at my neck?"
“... I know you will avoid it.”
“... And what if I don't do it.”
“... Don't worry, I will bring flowers to your grave.” Raven said indifferently.
“I don't want it! Damn bastard, what did you do to my sister– Wah! H-Hei Raven, k-this time I almost died.”
“Ck.”
"i heard it!"
Marana sighed tiredly hearing her sister quarrel. He could not understand how the two of them had the mood to play around in a place like this.
He then looked around and sighed again. (What kind of monster is he?) Inevitably he asked himself in his mind.
He already knew that he was strong, but one thing was to play around with a group of one eighth-tier woman, two seventh-tier warriors, and hundreds of martial artists; and another completely different one was to cripple them by snapping his finger, and then move it to a strange place he had never heard of before.
"Is that something that humans can do?" Marana whispered softly to herself before shaking her head. Better not think about it.
He looked at the people around him and raised his voice. "Hold tight! We just need to last three more hours! ”
““““Hah!!”””” The people around him snorted acknowledgely, but anyone could see that they were tired.
When they passed through the portal, their restraints were gone and they appeared here. This place is so weird. The land was completely desert, and surrounded by chaotic mana.
Soon, Marana realizes that mana here is very abundant. He then understood Clark's purpose. He probably sent them here to train.
But when he remembered that he reminded them not to forget their weapons, a bad gift appeared in his mind.
And of course, less than five minutes later, they were attacked by hordes of monsters.
The gang members panicked, but fortunately, Marana reacted quickly and calmed them down. He then arranged for the group to face the monsters and kill them.
Quickly, he realized that the monster was quite weak. The strongest one was only in the fourth layer. Most of his men could defeat them with a little hard work.
Of course, he did not know that it was Claus who made sure that no monster stronger than the fourth layer could attack them.
But when half an hour passes without the monsters dwindling, Marana completely understands Clark's purpose.
The sadistic bastard was planning to make them fight monsters continuously for six hours without a break. He wanted to use tremendous pressure to force them to become stronger.
That's very effective. In this neighborhood, even Marana herself felt herself getting stronger. But at the same time, it was brutal. If anything goes wrong, then many men here will die.
“Akilah! Keep the left side! Five fourth-tier monsters attacked!”
"Yes brother!"
"Somewhat, quickly kill the big one!"
“... Above it.”
"Shoppers! Where are we!?” Cursing in a low voice, he took off his belt-like sword and swung it forward.
Dozens of weaker monsters died instantly, reducing the pressure of his men. He then continued swinging his belt-like sword, killing any monsters that almost broke through the formation of his men.
He'll protect them!
Marana, Akilah, Raven, and Klein were from the same place. They were arrested when they were children and raised in an illegal slave training base. Klein was his blood-related brother, but he had no blood relation with Akilah or Raven.
The people who captured them raised them as upper-class slaves. Since Marana, Akinah, Raven, and Klein had high cultivation talents, they were taught to cultivate together with a group of other slaves.
But one day, ten years ago, the base was attacked.
Marana and the others took advantage of the opportunity to escape, but despite this, most of the group were killed in the attempt. Of the twenty escapees, only four survived.
And among them, Marana was the oldest, and the strongest.
From then on, siblings roamed around the empire trying to survive. More than once they were attacked, and several times they nearly died. Even Raven was forced to use the power of a dagger to save them.
But in the meantime, they're growing stronger.
Finally, two years ago, they entered the capital.
Marana forms the Red Skull Gang. Using his blood and tears, he created a place that could be called home by his brothers. To him, gangs are his family.
So he won't let them die here!
"Aah!" Lifting a shout of determination, he cut dozens of monsters in half.
His body was covered in blood, and his clothes had pieces of monster organs on it. But he continued to struggle until a mountain of bodies formed around him.
And finally, six hours passed.
Marana and the others gasped. They were tired, and their bodies were sick from their injuries.
Even Raven, who avoided fighting monsters head-on, had been injured several times while fighting monsters. One of the men was so badly injured that he fell unconscious.
But just as they were about to celebrate that all the monsters had been killed, a powerful presence surged from the depths of the space-time tunnel.
"Rubber!" With cries of anger and hunger, a dragon-like creature flapped its wings and looked towards the group.
Marana's expression fell. As the most experienced fighter in the group, he was the first to feel his strength.
"… The ninth layer." He muttered.
When his words came out of his mouth, the monster roared again.
