The blinding light was gone in a flash. ... Thud. ... Thud.
The blade, which had lost its luster, began to decay.
Just like the attribute of [Hatch's Curse], [Hatred], when the hatred dissipated, everything would become empty and desolate, turning into dust.
However, when the wielder did not have any hatred in his heart, all that was left was joy.
When Kieran saw the purple glowing skill book on the dead Frostrill, his joy was beyond words.
Although it was a Special Rank Skill Book, its level was unknown, and its usefulness was hard to determine.
According to Kieran's understanding, a Special Rank Skill Book would not be weak.
If it was weak, it was because he had not found the right way to use it.
Besides, a Skill Book from an enemy of Frostrill's level would not be weak.
Still, Kieran did not forget what he was supposed to do.
Ding!
Kieran pulled the ring on the last grenade he had brought with him and threw it at Frostrill's men, who were carrying the bronze coffin.
They did not even have time to react.
The continuous battles and the pressure on Frostrill had put a lot of pressure on him.
Frostrill's men were not as strong as he was.
They only came back to their senses when Frostrill fell to the ground.
By then, the grenade had already been thrown to the ground.
Boom!
Amidst the explosion, Force Field Barriers and Magical Armors appeared one after another.
However, they were soon engulfed by the explosion.
One figure after another flew up and down.
The result was out of Kieran's expectations.
His original plan had been to stop Frostrill's men so that he could get the heart from the bronze coffin.
"The battle they've been through is far more intense than I thought!
"That's the only way to make their force field shields and magic armors so vulnerable!"
Kieran's heart suddenly came to a realization.
He grabbed the X1, the [Mi-02] and the [Python-W2] revolvers with both hands.
Kieran would not give up the chance to beat them when they were down.
Not to mention, Frostrill's subordinates were all as strong as he was at their peak. Some were even slightly stronger than him. Frostrill's subordinates represented equipment and Skill Books.
But just as Kieran pulled the trigger, a figure appeared in front of him.
Without any warning, it just appeared out of nowhere.
Kieran instinctively moved his gun.
Bang!
The bullet grazed past the man's hair.
"You …"
Kieran instinctively wanted to say something, but he didn't.
However, Frostrill's subordinate interrupted him.
"S-Sir?!"
"Frostrill tricked me!"
"This was not my intention!"
"Forgive me, my lord!"
The chaotic shouts stunned Kieran, and he stood rooted to the spot.
Who could make Frostrill's subordinates address him as a lord?
President of the Dark Star Society: Serdenk.
"So fast!"
"How long has it been since I broke the isolation magic array and he appeared?"
"Five seconds? Or six? "
Kieran was shocked by the man's speed. He could not help but take a deep breath and look at the Dark Star Society's president.
Serdenk had a chiseled face and red hair that fell over his shoulders, but he did not look weak. Instead, he gave off a wild and arrogant aura.
His body, which was not tall in the first place, also became taller under such a feeling.
Under his thick eyebrows was a pair of leopard eyes that were also staring at Kieran, shining brightly.
“2567？”
As he asked, a powerful aura exploded from Serdenk's body. He was like an ancient tyrannosaurus rex, crushing Kieran.
Kieran was in Fear mode.
There wasn't the slightest bit of room for defense.
Kieran, who had fallen into Fear Mode, could only stand there in a daze, not moving an inch.
Want to fight back?
He couldn't even move a finger.
He tried his best to regulate his breathing and use his mind to move his body.
He hoped that his finger could get closer to his waist pouch.
There was a potion that he had specially prepared.
He had originally wanted to deal with the Fear effect of the heart in the bronze coffin, but now he couldn't care less.
It was a beautiful thought though.
Reality was cruel.
Kieran tried his best, but he did not let his finger touch the potion.
Of course, it wasn't completely useless.
At least, his finger could move a little.
"Huh?
"Alright!"
Very good! "
"Very good!"
Serdenk saw the slight tremble.
Immediately, three unintelligible words of praise followed by a burst of wild laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Meow?"
The wild laugh was as deafening as thunder, but even so, a cat's meow entered everyone's ears clearly.
Moreover, even though it was just a meow, everyone present understood the doubt contained within it.
While everyone was searching for the meow, a fat yellow and white cat appeared in front of Kieran and Serdenk.
It had its back to Serdenk and was facing Kieran.
The malicious Fear effect that filled the hall and only targeted Kieran vanished with the cat's appearance.
No one knew when the cat had appeared.
"Tiki!"
Kieran lowered his head and looked at the cat before him, calling out softly.
He had never been so happy to see Tiki like he was at this moment.
The cat's face showed a human-like smile.
Its curled tail was wiggling slightly.
Bang Bang Bang!
After a series of heavy thuds, everyone except Kieran and Serdenk were sent flying out of the hall. Judging from the thuds, it was obvious that the fall was not light.
"Tiki, what are you doing?!"
Serdenk's face changed as he asked in a heavy tone.
"What am I doing?
"Revenge!"
You bullied my child, of course I have to pay you back!
"You should know that cats are very vengeful!"
Under Kieran's incredulous gaze, Tiki, the cat, spoke.
Kieran's eyes widened when he heard the low and heavy voice.
He knew Tiki was no ordinary cat.
Not only was it powerful, but it was also very smart.
However, Kieran would never have thought that Tiki would be smart enough to speak.
"I've been wanting to greet you, 2567, but isn't it better to be surprised?
Right, 2567? "
Tiki smiled and waved its meaty paw at Kieran.
How could Kieran answer such a question?
He smiled bitterly and nodded.
Tiki's way of talking as if there was no one else around made Serdenk's face turn uglier.
"Do you really think I won't dare to attack you with Nikorei around?"
Serdenk said.
"Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because Nikorei joined forces with you?"
Tiki turned its head around, not even putting down its raised paw.
However, its sharp claws popped out.
"Do you want to try, Serdenk?
It's been 900 years since I last ate a human!
I don't think Nikorei will blame me if I eat one! "
Tiki still had a smile on his face.
However, that smile was filled with danger.
It was danger, not a threat.
Anyone who saw that smile would never doubt whether Tiki could do it or not.
Serdenk stared at Tiki.
No one said a word.
The atmosphere froze.
A battle was about to break out.
