Valenheart shivered when he saw the black figure before him.
It was the most primitive fear that came from the bottom of his heart.
When Valenheart got the news that Kieran was coming, he already felt fear, but when the fear truly came, it was far more despairing than he had imagined.
What followed the despair was confusion.
"Why are you here?"
This place is hidden in a huge castle, it's impossible to find me. "
Valenheart muttered unconsciously.
"Hidden in the castle … Then let's burn the whole castle down!"
Otherwise, where do you think the fire came from? "
A mocking voice sounded behind Valenheart.
Before Valenheart could turn around, a palm went through his chest. Valenheart looked down at the palm that was inches away from him, his face filled with unwillingness.
He still had such a grand plan to carry out!
He clearly had the absolute advantage!
Why?
Why did he fail in the end?
Valenheart raised his head with difficulty and looked at Kieran. He wanted to express his unwillingness to his opponent.
However, all he saw was Kieran sizing up the place, not even sparing a glance at him.
'He doesn't even care about me!'
Valenheart, who had the last radiance of a setting sun, had a glimmer of understanding.
Then, there were no more signs of life.
Through Kieran's Intuition, Valenheart's presence had completely vanished.
An Honor Kill notification popped up.
[You've killed Player Valenheart!]
[Treated as self-defense through authentication]
[Categorized as an Honor Kill]
[You will receive all the Points and Skill Points of the player …]
[Total: 30000 Points, 0 Skill Points]
[Received the player's house key]
[Granted the right to use the player's house]
[All the player's belongings will be returned to the player's house]
[Honor Kills: 119]
…
The disproportionately small amount of Points and Skill Points didn't surprise Kieran.
After noticing the unusual situation, Kieran had been prepared for it.
After all, one couldn't expect an unknown Freedom Alliance player to suddenly become incomparably powerful and omnipotent.
Maybe it was what he showed.
But in essence, it was still Points and other people's power.
The former came from the slaughter of the original Freedom Alliance forces.
As for the latter?
Hu!
Sensing the anomaly in the distance, Devil Flame burned in Kieran's hand.
A moment later, the Devil Flame roared out.
Like a meteor, Devil Flame streaked across the sky.
Instantly, the half-real, half-fake illusion below began to collapse and disappear.
Alisritter rushed up the guillotine and saw the executioner and Decoman vanishing before his eyes. Alisritter looked up and saw the flame that pierced through the sky and into the distance. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Is that guy here too?"
As he muttered to himself, Alisritter sat down.
Although he won the battle against his own shadow, the Swordforger had exhausted a lot of his stamina and energy.
Now that Kieran had appeared, he naturally had to take a good rest.
Of course, Alisritter remembered Kieran's favor in his heart.
However, just as Alisritter sat down, a black mist appeared behind him.
Black lightning bolts were shuttling back and forth inside the black mist, but it was still silent.
Alisritter didn't notice the anomaly behind him.
Just when Alisritter was about to be devoured —
Huu!
Devil Flame appeared out of thin air.
The scorching flame clashed with the black mist.
Black lightning bolts shuttled back and forth, producing the unique roar of Thunder. However, the roar was nothing compared to the devil's roar.
Roar!
The devil's mirage appeared in the blazing flame. The black mist shook for a while and more black lightning bolts appeared.
"You are just a hindrance!
Do you really think you can stop … "
Huu!
Kieran's actions were always faster than his words. The moment the words came from the black mist, two bundles of Devil Flame appeared on his left hand and he tossed them out.
Kaboom!
The explosion of Devil Flame caused a dozen meters tall flame to rumble in all directions like a tidal wave. The moist air quickly turned dry and hot.
Alisritter had retreated far away, but he still felt like he was standing in front of a charcoal fire with every breath he took.
As an apprentice blacksmith in a certain dungeon world, the burning sensation wasn't a stranger to him. It was similar to the moment he saw the black mist, his heart was alarmed.
The black mist was coming for him!
Everything was set up specifically for him!
Decoman was just an undeserved calamity, becoming the bait to lure Alisritter here!
Alisritter quickly reacted to the situation with a gloomy face.
No one was used to being set up by others.
Alisritter was no exception either.
A sharp aura as sharp as a blade appeared on his body. He stared at the blazing flame.
He believed the bastard who set him up wouldn't die so easily.
As a matter of fact, he was right.
Under the Devil Flame's encirclement, the black mist shrunk rapidly, but after a while, it grew bigger again.
The black mist started to expel the weakened Devil Flame.
"Your flame is powerful!
But … "
"How many times can you use this flame? How long can you last?
And me?
"I am immortal!"
"I am limitless!"
"I …"
Kaboom!
Kaboom!
Before the voice from the black mist subsided, it was overpowered by Devil Flame's roars.
Like a meteor shower, Devil Flame rained down ceaselessly, crashing into the black mist. Flame after flame fell from the sky.
The situation reversed again.
Devil Flame, which was weakened by the increase of the black mist, gained the upper hand again.
Roar Roar Roar!
The magma devil mirage's roars sounded like war drums.
Devil Flame charged forward like a group of soldiers.
The black mist was drowned again.
Up in mid-air, the Devil Flame gathered in Kieran's palm once more.
However, it was different from the previous Devil Flame.
This time, he spent a lot of time gathering Devil Flame, and it would strike fear in one's heart when they saw it.
The highest rank of Devil Flame was rank II, and after charging, it reached rank III.
Then, with [Fiery Sulphur] and Fire Raven's buff, Devil Flame swiftly reached rank V.
Without a doubt, this was the most damaging Devil Flame that Kieran could dish out at the moment.
It was also close to Kieran's strongest attack.
This kind of attack was different.
Devil Flame, which shouldn't have been able to change its shape, started to change.
A pair of goat horns sprouted out like a spiral, its eyes filled with arrogance. Although blurry, the sharp teeth in its mouth would strike fear in one's heart.
Within a breath's time, the rank V Devil Flame transformed into a devil's head.
It was a devil's head that was burning with flames, roaring ceaselessly as if it was about to devour its target.
Alisritter, who was ready to join the battle, retreated without a second thought when he saw Kieran's charging Devil Flame transform.
"What a scary flame!"
"IV?
"No, no, not rank IV!"
At least … "
"V!"
Alisritter quickly determined the rank of the flame when he felt the burning sensation in his lungs. His gaze at Kieran in mid-air changed.
As one of the higher ranks among the high-rankers, Alisritter knew what rank V represented.
It was a level that far surpassed the previous ranks, like a chasm between heaven and earth.
Alisritter and a few of his friends were working hard towards rank V.
Unfortunately, other than that guy who had been in seclusion and should have reached this rank, the others, including Alisritter, only slightly touched the rank.
And now, in Kieran, Alisritter saw a rank that he had been touching but couldn't cross.
Alisritter's heart was complicated.
He still remembered when he first met Kieran, Kieran might be powerful, but he wasn't this powerful yet.
"What a scary fella!"
Alisritter sucked in a deep breath and clenched his fists when he saw the ball of Devil Flame jump down from the sky.
He suddenly realized that he had been a little lazy recently.
When did he become like this?
He couldn't remember.
He didn't know when it started, but the time he spent in the big city far surpassed the time he spent in the dungeon world. Although he was training himself on the surface, only he knew why.
Wasn't it because they didn't want to take on the risks of the dungeon world?
Although there were opportunities in taking risks, risks were risks, and he didn't want to take them.
However …
It was time for a change.
Alisritter made up his mind.
It was at this moment that Devil Flame, which had changed its form, smashed heavily on the land that was already burning with Devil Flame.
Boom!
Amidst the unprecedented explosion, a pillar of flames soared into the sky.
In the pillar of flames, the Evil Demon's shadow almost materialized.
As it roared at the sky, it threw a heavy punch at the black fog.
Rumble!
The earth was shaking.
But this was just the beginning!
Wu, wu wu!
Rumble!
The heavy fists of the demonic phantoms were like machine guns, hitting the black fog. The tremors of the earth turned into an earthquake, revealing the burned castle, which quickly turned into ruins in the earthquake.
"Aaaargh!"
Amid the agonizing wails, the black fog faded away.
The existence hiding in the black fog was unwilling to give up.
As long as it could get close to Kieran!
It would have a chance to turn the tables around!
With that thought in mind, the existence hiding in the black fog mustered the last bit of its strength and threw everything at Kieran in the sky.
However, Kieran had seen what the existence was capable of, so he didn't give it a chance.
The moment the black fog flew up, the Evil Demon reached out its flaming claws and grabbed the monster's tail. It smashed the monster back to the ground and punched it repeatedly.
It wasn't until the black fog turned into a crystal the size of a little finger that it stopped.
Bloody Mary, who had been waiting for Kieran, appeared beside the crystal in a flash without Kieran's order. After a careful check, it grabbed the crystal and flew to Kieran.
[Name: Broken Voodoo Soul Crystal]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: III]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: III]
[Attribute: Sacrificial Offering]
[Effect: Voodoo Consumption]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Master)]
[Remark: The Voodoo Hunters don't just respect powerful strength, they also respect cruel ways of doing things. Items made from tortured souls can satisfy their every desire.]
…
[Sacrificial Offering: You can offer it to a God that loves souls, you will get different rewards.]
…
Kieran squinted his eyes at the [Broken Voodoo Soul Crystal].
The Evil Demon wasn't dead without a doubt.
It didn't even appear in its true form.
Or rather …
The Evil Demon didn't even dare to appear in its true form.
All it could do was use some small tricks to influence the players and extend its power into the big city.
As for why?
Kieran had brought 'unexpected powers' back to his room more than once, so he knew those 'unexpected' powers would eventually be wiped out by the big city.
If the Evil Demon didn't have the protection of the shell formed by the players, even the slightest bit of its power would be discovered by the big city and wiped out.
"Intruder …"
"Interesting."
Kieran muttered in his heart while his eyes scanned the surroundings.
He clearly remembered someone else had their eyes on this mysterious power before him.
When the mysterious power appeared, it was impossible for the intruder to sit back and do nothing.
As a matter of fact, when Gluttony told him about the unusual smell, Kieran had been vigilant against the person who might be hiding in the dark.
After all, the person was someone that even Rachel was wary of.
Seconds turned into minutes.
Kieran didn't notice anything.
Alisritter walked over to Kieran.
"I'll remember this favor."
Alisritter said.
"It's fine.
It's just along the way. "
Kieran replied.
It was the truth. Kieran was here to 'help' J. Pearlman, so helping him was just along the way.
Alisritter didn't argue with Kieran.
All he did was remember the favor and think of a way to repay it in the future.
"Did you see J. Pearlman and Decorman?"
Alisritter asked.
"They were in the dungeon before, but they were brought out by my men. They are staying outside Huke Alley with the natives of the castle."
Kieran replied.
"The natives of the castle?
They aren't phantoms? "
Alisritter was stunned.
"Some are, some are contracted followers."
Kieran said as he looked at Bloody Mary, who was following behind him.
"Is it useful to you?"
Kieran asked with [Voodoo Soul Crystal Fragment] in his hand.
Bloody Mary nodded repeatedly like a pug.
Kieran didn't plan to offer the crystal to any God who loved souls, neither did he expect any reward, so he tossed [Voodoo Soul Crystal Fragment] to Bloody Mary.
The eager Bloody Mary didn't even use its hand to catch the crystal. It opened its mouth and grabbed the crystal, swallowing it in a single gulp.
"Is it a dog?"
Alisritter wondered in his heart.
Alisritter then realized Bloody Mary seemed to have seen through his thoughts and was staring at him.
Alisritter couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"I'm a loyal dog!
Not a dog! "
Bloody Mary explained seriously.
"Is there a difference?"
Alisritter was stunned.
"A dog will bite, a loyal dog will protect its master!"
Bloody Mary shuttled through the void in a flash and appeared behind Kieran. On its palm was a puppet that had fused with the void a moment ago, hanging on its palm.
Bloody Mary shook its hand and threw the broken puppet on the ground.
It then shook its clothes and bowed at Kieran.
