The sheathing of the sword echoed in the underground hall. The sunlight that shone down from above made Kat Lady and the other superheroes a little dazed.
A hundred meters underground was pierced through with a single slash?
Knight and Weapon Master looked at each other in confusion.
They knew Kieran was strong after defeating Grudge Dragon, Death Knell, and Mr. Ghost. He was known as the Glutton Emperor but as for how strong he was, neither of them had a clear idea. Now, it was clear to them.
After the slash was executed, his aura didn't change at all.
It meant the slash was an easy one for him.
It could even be considered a casual slash.
When the thought came into the mind, Knight and Weapon Master looked at Kieran with an extra sense of shock.
The two oldest superheroes knew what it meant to achieve such a feat.
It would be a power that surpassed Drexton, the Fist of Justice!
Besides …
There was no limit to it!
Drexton was undoubtedly powerful when he was standing on the ground. He wasn't just invulnerable, he had boundless strength as well. However, once he left the ground, his strength would be greatly reduced. Therefore, any smart supervillain would know how to fight Drexton.
But Kieran was different!
Other than eating a little too much, Kieran didn't show any flaws.
A sense of joy instantly appeared on Knight and Weapon Master's face.
They could already foresee how powerful the Hero Alliance would be.
Compared to the many thoughts in Knight and Weapon Master's mind, Kat Lady, Machinist, and Fortress were much simpler.
They were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
As for Drexton?
The Fist of Justice wasn't frustrated at being surpassed by Kieran, all he felt was joy. He was very glad that he managed to pull Kieran into his own side.
"What a beautiful slash!
It's all up to me now. "
Drexton was praising Kieran, he himself was eager to give it a try as well.
The path of retreat was cleared but the living skeletons were still closing in.
It was natural that someone had to fight them.
"No, Drexton, your fight is on the top."
Kieran pointed above. Drexton was stunned. Kieran continued, "You don't think this is just a coincidence right?
When Grudge Dragon occupied Smorewill Street, he didn't notice this ruin. After we defeated him, this ruin appeared along with some other strange bastards … Do you think this is just a coincidence?
Don't forget about this morning's explosion! "
Kieran emphasized his question.
Drexton instantly frowned.
"You are saying …"
"2567, I'll leave this place to you for now.
"Catwoman will be the liaison officer waiting for you on the ground. Everyone else, follow me!"
Drexton quickly made up his mind.
Although there were tens of thousands of moving skeletons in the ruins, there were only three exits. On top of that, the terrain was narrow, so Kieran alone was enough to guard them.
Drexton believed that with Kieran's strength, he would be able to do it easily.
However, Alkender City was different.
If Alkender City was attacked at the same time, Drexton alone would not be able to deal with all of them at once. He would need at least three to four men to fight together to barely fend off the monsters that might appear.
Drexton quickly left with his men.
Kat Lady didn't leave right away. She stared at Kieran and sized up Kieran with a gaze that she had never seen before.
In fact, after Kieran swung his sword, Kat Lady's eyes never left Kieran's waist.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the crow feather windbreaker and see [Extreme Night].
"What is that meow?"
Kat Lady moved closer to Kieran and rubbed Kieran's arm with her face, acting coquettishly.
"A weapon."
Kieran replied in a simple and comprehensive manner.
"Can I have a look?
In exchange, I can let you pet my head.
You've given up a chance meow, this time don't … Meow, meow meow! "
Before Kat Lady could finish, Kieran grabbed her by the back of her neck and threw her towards the gap above her head.
A series of deafening screams later, Kat Lady flew up to the ground.
Cats were a very peculiar kind of creature.
Whether you were rich or poor, a cat would always look down on you.
A cat would occupy your sofa, bed, and stool as its own base, using your pillow and cushion to sharpen its claws. If a cat suddenly acted coquettishly towards you, there would only be one reason.
Hungry!
Other than that, there were no other possibilities.
Playing with you?
Stop joking.
A cat is much happier when it plays by itself than when it plays with you.
Kat Lady, who had the personality of a cat, suddenly acting coquettishly was not because she was hungry but because she wanted [Extreme Night].
Kieran had no idea how Kat Lady saw through [Extreme Night]'s uniqueness.
Still, it didn't stop him from rejecting.
Although he wasn't a swordsman who loved swords as much as his life, Kieran knew he couldn't lend his own weapon to someone else.
Even more so, it was a bastard with a bad track record.
Kieran didn't want anything to go wrong with [Extreme Night] that he spent so much effort to repair.
Of course, the other reason was that Kieran didn't want the upcoming battle to attract too much attention.
This was because he had already found a very special aura among the skeletons.
…
"What kind of monster is this?
It's the same as the direct descendants! "
"Impossible!"
"The direct descendants are all dead!"
"Mutation!"
"It must be a mutation!"
"Damn it! Why did I run into this mutated monster?"
"It was a rare chance to escape this place and now it's turning into a death sentence?"
"I can't accept this!"
"I can't accept this!"
There was a skeleton that was mixed among the other skeletons. Its soul flame was rapidly pulsating. Its appearance was no different from the other skeletons around it. Under the disguise, the soul flame was exactly the same. Simply put, it would be difficult for anyone to distinguish this skeleton from the other skeletons around it.
Especially when it mimicked the way the skeletons walked, it was exactly the same.
However, its heart was still beating like a drum.
It knew how scary those mutated monsters were.
Even if it wasn't a direct descendant mutation, it had reached the level of a direct descendant, so it couldn't afford to provoke it.
All it could hope for now was that the monster's Intuition was too weak to notice its existence.
Then …
It realized it had been thinking too much.
Kaboom!
The boiling flames drowned the skeletons around it like a tidal wave. The skeletons that were as hard as metal melted rapidly.
It was the only one left.
What scared it even more was that the monster before it didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.
The terrifying flames were like a machine gun, appearing one after another and quickly filling the whole hall.
The disguise that it placed on was swiftly gone.
Then, the monster looked at it.
Its gaze was calm but it was pressuring.
Under the pressure, its soul fire jumped non-stop. The power that was wrapped around it couldn't be hidden anymore.
Gak Tsk, Gak Tsk.
The skeleton's outer appearance crumbled completely.
A green, lizard-like strange creature appeared in Kieran's sight.
It was exactly the same as the strange creature that Kieran encountered before.
But there was a difference.
The previous one obviously didn't have much intellect, it only slightly broke away from its beastly instincts and its body was stronger, but the one before Kieran was different. It knew how to disguise itself, its body was bent but its eyes were shining with intelligence.
After returning to its original form, the lizard-like creature stood still on the spot, thinking about how to escape the situation before it.
Fight?
No doubt, it couldn't. It knew very well how the young junior that was a few times stronger than it died, it didn't want to be eaten.
More so, that slash just now had shattered its guts. That slash, even during its era, was the symbol of a powerful being.
It couldn't fight it head on.
Then, all that was left was …
Bam!
The lizard-like creature knelt down and raised its hands above its head, indicating that it was harmless.
"My lord, I'm just an old interrogator."
I've put down the torture tools, I'm just struggling at death's door.
"Please let me go."
Where is this place? "
Kieran looked at the lizard and asked.
"This is Almeida's outpost, it's guarded by the Fifth Brigade of the 7th Army."
The old lizard answered honestly.
"Fifth Brigade?
The skeletons just now?
What happened here? "
Kieran asked.
This time, the old lizard was a little hesitant, but it quickly answered, "Yes, those skeletons were soldiers of the Fifth Large Group. But due to an accident, all of them lost their lives. Even I lost most of my powers in that accident."
"What accident?"
Kieran asked along the way.
"Black Cataclysm!"
The old lizard showed a tinge of fear on its face. The moment the fear appeared, Kieran subtly glanced over the bigger hall and noticed the flight of stairs that obviously led upwards.
The old lizard didn't notice Kieran's gaze due to the fear in its heart, but it felt something approaching.
"Black Cataclysm!
It's the Black Cataclysm!
It's here!
Why is it still here?! "
The old lizard screamed in fear and confusion.
Amidst the fearful and confused screams, its green body started to be devoured bit by bit. The process was undoubtedly painful.
Its eyes were begging Kieran.
It begged Kieran to kill it.
To relieve its pain.
However, Kieran wasn't moved.
Kieran looked at the old lizard, watching its green body being devoured bit by bit.
Until only its head was left.
The head didn't fall to the ground, floating in mid-air.
Kieran met the old lizard's gaze.
It wasn't overbearing or indifferent, all it had was an inquisitive gaze, as if it saw something interesting.
Through Kieran's [Tracking], he saw a layer of supernatural darkness covering the old lizard's body, creating an illusion that it was being devoured.
However, this supernatural darkness was much more brilliant than the lizard's control.
Not only did it hide its color, but the gloomy and cold aura was also gone.
"How did you notice the Black Cataclysm?
Is your mutation part of the Interrogator's power?
"That's impossible!"
"Those madmen will never succeed!"
The Interrogator is one of a kind, it's a gift from God, it's … "
Under Kieran's gaze, the old lizard suddenly became hysterical, growling madly in agitation before it turned around and ran for its life.
The scene just now was also an act without a doubt.
The moment it turned around, the hysterical look on the old lizard's face vanished.
All that was left was calmness and cunningness.
As an Interrogator, it believed that if it couldn't face its foe head on, it would resort to schemes!
As long as the scheme was right, no matter how powerful the foe was, it would be killed!
Just like how it had succeeded countless times in the past!
This time was no exception!
As long as it lured the old lizard there …
'Victory will be mine!'
The old lizard thought confidently.
However, at the next moment …
Ssss!
Snake?!
The moment the snake hissed, the old lizard's body froze. As a lizard, it had a natural fear of snakes.
Especially these snakes, which were as thick as a water bucket and a dozen meters long, had a sharp spear-like horn on their heads. Their bodies were dark and their fangs were as sharp as swords.
The moment the old lizard saw the giant snakes, it was frightened.
Not only its body, but even its mind was frozen.
Under such a condition, the old lizard felt like it had broken free from some kind of control.
'What's going on?
Why is this happening?
I just wanted to leave quietly, didn't I?
Why did the battle happen?
The Black Cataclysm!
Only the Black Cataclysm could quietly affect it and change its mind.
Only it!
The answer instantly appeared in the old lizard's heart.
The old lizard was even more frightened than before.
It begged loudly for mercy.
"Spare me!
"Please let me go!"
I don't want to be … "
Tsss!
Before the frightened old lizard could finish, it was vaporized.
It turned into a supernatural, gloomy and cold black, like a swallow returning to its nest, flying towards the stairs at the end of the hall.
When this smear of black entered the staircase, it seemed to have triggered some kind of chain reaction, and more supernatural darkness appeared.
The gloomy and cold presence caused the temperature in the hall to plummet rapidly.
Common men would be frozen in an instant if they were here.
But only common men.
Kieran wasn't one of them.
On the contrary, when the supernatural darkness appeared, Kieran picked up a rich cocoa aroma, as though a spring had sprung up from the ground and was spitting out hot cocoa endlessly.
Gulp, Gulp, Gulp.
Gluttony crawled out from Kieran's shadow uncontrollably. He stood beside Kieran, his stomach growling in hunger, the gulping of his saliva sounded like a flowing stream.
However, Gluttony didn't jump up.
He turned around to his big brother, his eyes looking desperate.
Kieran wasn't moved at all by Gluttony's pitiful gaze, but he gave an explanation, which was rare for him.
