The 'body' didn't jump up all of a sudden, it was moving slowly.
If one didn't have their eyes glued to the spot, no one would have noticed the unusual movement, including Wilberst and his collaborator, who placed all their attention on their opponent.
The clash between the fist and the sharp claws produced a violent wind, wreaking havoc in the hall.
The ceiling, floor, and walls were swiftly torn apart, following the glass containers and decorations. Smoke and dust filled the hall uncontrollably, shrouding everyone's sight.
Every trace of the fight seemed to fade away in the smoke and dust, but both of them didn't mind exposing themselves.
"Cook? Wilberst?
"How interesting."
Wilberst's collaborator said in a cold voice.
"Yeah, it's really interesting …"
"Erbus K. The revered Marquis K that came back from the dead.
"I'm afraid His Excellency D didn't expect that the one he killed would be a substitute, right?"
And me?
"I never expected my collaborator to be a Blood Descendant."
Wilberst replied with a sigh.
It seemed like it was really an interesting thing.
As a matter of fact?
His body had already begun to move without a sound.
He wasn't moving towards the direction where Marquis K spoke, but towards the spot where the cone fell.
Compared to fighting Marquis K, Wilberst was more concerned about the cone.
Moreover, he also knew that his collaborator probably thought the same way.
Therefore, Wilberst was very careful throughout the whole process.
The cone had already drifted away from its original position due to the strong wind, but the moment before the dust engulfed the entire hall, even if it was just a glimpse, it was enough for Wilberst to confirm the location of the cone.
Ten steps!
Five steps!
Three steps!
When Wilberst was close to the last spot where the cone fell, he stopped. He didn't go for the cone.
Instead, he waited patiently.
When the faint smell of blood entered his nose, Wilberst curled his lips into a grin. He infused all his strength into his right fist and punched towards the direction where the smell came from.
…
During the collaboration, Marquis K knew how cunning and sinister his collaborator was.
Therefore, the moment Marquis K spoke, he started to move.
He wanted that cone.
For that item, it had been plotting for countless years.
It was impatient.
At the same time, it was also very confident.
It knew what its advantage was!
Speed!
It had been hiding its speed all along!
Its speed was incomparable to his opponent's!
And just as Erbus K expected, it arrived at the spot where the conical object fell and scooped it up without any hesitation.
But …
There was nothing left!
In his memory, the place where the cone should have been was empty!
Could it be that it was taken by someone else?
Marquis K was stunned for a moment. The presence on his body started to surge uncontrollably. Almost instinctively, the marquis thought of his collaborator, Wilberst.
But before Marquis K could think further, a ferocious force appeared behind him.
Wu!
Wilberst's well-prepared strike was like a battering ram on a carriage, smashing heavily on Marquis K's body.
Bang!
A heavy, nauseating thud later, Marquis K's body was sent flying away. Its already pale face turned even uglier.
Relying on its speed, it had the chance to dodge, but it didn't.
This was because an invisible force had bound it at that moment.
On top of that, the spot where Marquis was struck felt like it was being burned by fire.
'He didn't just know I'm a Blood Kin, he even targeted me!'
Rage rose in Marquis K's heart after it reacted to the situation. It growled heavily and its body that was sent flying made a turn in the air and flew back to Wilberst.
A blood-red shadow flashed on its claws.
Two claws that seemed to be formed from blood appeared above Wilberst's head out of thin air and swung down.
Wilberst couldn't hold back his smile when he saw the bloody claws falling down on his head.
"That's why I'm willing to work with you inhumans!
"You believe everything that is said, and it's even easier to be provoked!"
You aren't as cunning and suspicious as humans. "
The bloody claws fell on Wilberst's head, but he didn't dodge at all. When the bloody claws touched Wilberst's head, they vanished into thin air after a loud noise.
Wilberst wasn't unscathed either. His clothes were torn to shreds by Marquis K's attack, revealing a shining silver soft armor underneath.
When the shining silver soft armor shone brightly, Marquis K, who was further away, growled in pain. Its flying body was like a bolt of lightning as it retreated to the corridor outside the hall.
The speed made Wilberst shake his head in pity.
He couldn't catch up to Marquis K.
It was an undeniable fact.
Even though Wilberst was prepared, all he managed to do was injure Marquis K, not kill him.
"Too bad.
"If it was the real Silver Sanction, how could a mere Blood Kin have escaped?"
Wilberst sighed.
Then, he let out a deep breath.
Huu!
A violent wind appeared.
The smoke and dust that lingered in the hall were swiftly blown away.
Everything in the hall, including the cone, appeared before Wilberst's eyes again.
Looking at the cone that was still floating in mid-air after deviating two steps from his memory, Wilberst's eyes showed a sense of realization.
"The aftershock of the violent wind caused it to deviate slightly from its original position. That's why that bastard was one step ahead of me, but he couldn't locate it and leaked a little bit of his presence out of surprise."
Wilberst picked up the cone after he came up with the most reasonable answer in his heart. He looked at the cone that looked exactly the same as the one in his memory and how heavy it was. Wilberst couldn't hold back his smile.
"You are mine now."
Wilberst said.
Then, he confidently walked towards the entrance.
Of course, he knew Marquis K was outside, but as long as he was wearing the Silver Sanction, even if it was just a fake and not as powerful as the original, his time was limited.
It was enough to keep him in an invincible position for the time being.
As for after that?
As long as he got the secret of the item in his hand, a Blood Kin was nothing.
He wouldn't even have to worry about the Demon Hunters anymore.
He would step on the clouds and look down on all living beings.
That kind of feeling … must be very wonderful.
Dak Dak Dak!
With endless fantasies about the future, Wilberst moved faster and faster. He passed through the long and narrow corridor and returned to the surface.
Then, his sprinting footsteps stopped abruptly.
He saw Eiders at night.
He saw the darkness that resembled chaos.
He saw a deep figure standing in the darkness.
He saw …
