Kieran's sight was blocked by the door, preventing him from seeing anything.
However, the malicious intent he sensed felt like it was real, like a cold, sharp sword was being thrust at Kieran.
The next moment …
Bang!
The door was shattered and a figure was thrown at Kieran amidst the debris.
With the light from the lamp, Kieran recognized the figure as one of the mercenaries that he killed before.
A faint corpse stench entered his nose. Kieran couldn't help but have goosebumps when he saw the flying body.
Almost out of instinct, Kieran kicked the body on the ground and threw it at the body that was throwing itself at him.
Puk!
Just like a balloon filled with water smashing into the ground, when the two corpses collided, the flying corpse exploded.
Dark green, viscous juices splashed everywhere, staining the ground and walls, instantly corroding a big hole on the cement floor and walls.
The body that collided with the juices melted into a puddle of similar colored pus within a breath's time, giving off a pungent stench.
Kieran covered his nose and mouth out of instinct.
He looked outside the door.
However, another flying body blocked Kieran's sight.
Bang!
Using the same method, the other fighter's body was tossed up and thrown out. Amidst the crash, Kieran grabbed the searchlight beside his feet and dashed out.
A mystical individual!
There was no doubt about it!
Other than a mystical individual, no one else could cause such changes to a dead body in such a short period of time.
However, whether it was a spellcaster or some kind of item user, Kieran wasn't sure.
But there was one thing Kieran was sure about: he couldn't give the mystical individual enough time!
Facing a mystical individual who somehow tailed him, once he gave the mystical individual enough time to prepare, he would be the unlucky one.
So, Kieran dashed out without a second thought.
Sou Sou Sou Sou!
Just as Kieran rushed into the hall, a series of air-piercing sounds rang out. Several corpses fell from the sky and smashed into him.
Kieran, who was already prepared, threw the searchlight up and dashed forward.
By the time the sound of a corpse breaking into pieces could be heard, Kieran, who still had A + Agility after dropping by 3 levels, was already a few meters away.
At the same time, Kieran saw the attacker following him.
The man was wearing a long black robe and stood at the entrance of the club's hall.
The hood of the robe obscured his face, revealing only his bony chin.
Similarly, the wide sleeves of his robe covered his hands, but the skull in his hands was very eye-catching.
Unlike the skulls that had been tempered by time, the skull that the man was holding was not only pale white, but it was also emitting a metallic luster. In the deep eye sockets, there were two wisps of blue-green flames burning.
Bang, bang, bang!
Without hesitation, Kieran took out a magazine.
However, when the bullets hit the man's body, it was like a clay ox disappearing into the sea, soundless.
The man didn't seem to feel anything, his heavy incantations swiftly sounded.
At the next moment, before Kieran could move again, a couple of skeletal claws sprung out from the ground and grabbed Kieran's legs.
Each of the skeletal claws was similar to the skull, having a metallic luster.
When the claws grabbed Kieran, it felt like they were shackles on Kieran's legs, restricting Kieran's movements.
“2567？”
What a weird name but … it doesn't stop your head from being valuable! "
The coarse, dry voice made one feel uncomfortable from the bottom of one's heart.
Still, it didn't stop the spellcaster from being delighted.
"Trying to use the other spellcaster's method to deal with me?
You amnesia patient, you are really delusional!
"I'll take your head!"
The spellcaster announced loudly.
Fuuu!
The turquoise flame in the skull burned brightly right away. Then, a series of footsteps sounded.
A group of mercenaries staggered down from the second floor.
Each of their faces were drained of blood and extremely pale.
His eyes were lifeless and turbid.
No doubt the mercenaries were dead.
Though, it didn't stop them from being weapons.
Especially when the mercenaries saw Kieran, they changed their staggered and sluggish manner and threw themselves at Kieran like mad dogs, jumping on all fours and pouncing on him.
When the black-robed attacker saw the scene, he laughed even more delightedly.
Although he spent quite a bit of effort, the final bounty still belonged to him.
On top of that, he could use this chance to show off his power to the Elder Council, maybe he could catch the attention of some big shots and soar in his career.
Everything was too perfect.
It was so perfect that it was unreal.
So, when the attacker was faced with the truth, he didn't want to believe it at all.
He was dumbfounded as he watched Kieran break free from the seemingly unbreakable skeletal claws. Kieran turned into a gust of wind and dashed away from his side.
"Y-You!"
"Trying to run?
You think you … "
The attacker was stunned at first at Kieran's unusual behavior before he laughed coldly.
The attacker instinctively thought Kieran was trying to escape.
Then, Kieran turned around and interrupted the attacker.
"Idiot!"
Kieran spat out the adjective and pointed at the attacker's feet.
The attacker lowered his head.
He instantly saw five grenades.
The attacker didn't know when the five grenades appeared under his feet.
However, the assailant knew that the five grenades were fused.
He could use his secret spells to ignore bullets but it didn't mean he could ignore grenades.
The attacker wanted to kick the grenades away.
But the moment he lifted his foot, an explosion went off.
KABOOM!
Five grenades exploded at a close range. Without any cover, the black-robed attacker was blasted to bits.
However, an item emitting an orange glow appeared from the tattered corpse.
When the attacker died, the mercenaries who were supposed to die fell to the ground one after another.
Kieran picked up the item, a skull with a metallic luster.

…
It was definitely a decent item for Kieran at the moment.
However, Kieran frowned when he saw the item.
How did the attacker follow him without being noticed?
Based on his Intuition, whenever the attacker's malicious gaze swept over him, he would react to it.
The item before him wasn't an item to conceal his presence either.
Could it be that the attacker used his own abilities?
Or …
Did someone tip him off?
Kieran could not help but squint his eyes.
