"Kill him!"
Melanie shouted in a low voice.
The four traitorous Knight took the lead and dashed out.
It wasn't just because they hated Kieran for messing things up but also because they wanted to show off their abilities.
The Hounds from before were forced to retreat by Kieran and if they could kill Kieran, they would be recognized by the elders.
They might even be able to make up for the discounted rewards that they had received.
As for the elders not being around and couldn't see them?
Stop joking around. Everyone in the Elder Council knew that the eyes of the elders were everywhere.
Kieran picked up another morningstar and hurled it forward like a shot put.
Wuuu!
A scalp-numbing noise later, the morningstar flew towards the four traitorous Knight.
However, it was easily dodged.
The sewer before them was built after the third world war and because of the craftsmanship and technological level, it obviously followed the traditional way of building before the war: narrow and suffocating.
Still, it was wide enough for a few people to walk side by side.
So, it was very easy for the four traitorous Knight to dodge a morningstar the size of a millstone.
In fact, when the four traitorous Knight saw the morningstar flying at them, they didn't just dodge it easily, they even launched a counterattack.
The traitorous Knight formed a group of two and dashed towards the walls on both sides. When the morningstar flew past them, they stepped on the wall with tacit understanding and accelerated towards where Kieran was.
"Such a direct attack is no different from that idiot Calga!"
"Go …"
The traitorous Knight's arrogant words were stopped abruptly before they could finish their words.
Other than a big sword box, they didn't see Kieran anywhere.
He was still here a moment ago!
Could it be …
The four traitorous Knight were stunned for a while before they instinctively thought of something.
But it was too late!
Kieran who was hiding behind the flying morningstar launched a series of kick afterimages and enveloped the four traitorous Knight within.
Bang Bang Bang!
Amidst the layers of leg shadows, muffled sounds rang out continuously.
The four Traitor Knight were sent flying by Kieran's kick and embedded themselves into the walls on both sides.
Four green lights appeared on the four corpses.
But Kieran didn't care at all.
He took a step back.
Bang!
The Hound jumped out from the shadows, ready to slit Kieran's throat, but just as he raised his dagger, Kieran's back slammed into his chest.
Amidst the sounds of bones breaking and tendons snapping, the person who was sent flying was completely motionless.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, five people were dead!
"Arrogant idiot!"
Melanie didn't give a damn about it.
The Hounds had no mercy for the losers.
The rest of the Hounds weren't afraid at all, instead, they were excited.
However, before they could make a move, Kieran had already raised his hand and grabbed the chain that was brought up by the flying meteor hammer. After exerting strength in his palm, his arm violently swung left and right.
Wu, wu wu!
Bang Bang Bang!
With the chain's movement, the meteor hammer turned into a dancing sledgehammer, smashing the sewer all over the place.
Gravel flew and dust rose up.
In an instant, the whole sewer was filled with gray dust, blocking everyone's sight.
"2567, is this your trick?"
"Do you really think some dust can block our vision?"
Melanie who was standing in the middle of the dust spoke.
She didn't mind exposing her position at all.
She didn't even move from the start to the end.
She hoped that Kieran was coming for her.
Because if that happened, Kieran would be dead meat.
However, Kieran didn't move at all.
Let alone attacking her, he didn't even breathe, as if he had vanished into thin air.
"I didn't expect 2567 to have such decent undercover techniques!
Shouldn't a real Knight disdain to learn such techniques? "
However, Melanie's words didn't stop.
As she spoke, she used the Hounds' secret method to give out orders, "Seal off the sewer and ambush Kieran."
Melanie wasn't worried about the battle with Kieran, all she was worried about was Kieran slipping away.
As for Kieran saying that it was time for the Griffin Church and the Twenty Hounds to settle their grudge, none of you shall interfere!
Melanie didn't buy it at all.
The current Knight might be as powerful as he was during the war but his morals weren't as good as others.
His resistance against the temptations brought by the advancement of the era wasn't much stronger than others.
He might even be weaker than others.
After all, he possessed powers that others didn't.
As one of the Hounds of the Elder Council's old rival, Melanie knew the changes in the Knight all too well, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to instigate the other four Knight to join her side.
So, from Melanie's point of view, Kieran was just being polite.
Especially after obtaining a decent result, when he could choose to retreat in a dignified manner, it was necessary for him to do so.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Melanie laughed coldly in her heart.
Then, she heard a series of unusual noise.
It was a light, intermittent hissing noise.
Melanie wasn't a stranger to the noise.
Whenever she slit someone's throat, the person would always make the same noise.
"Got it?"
Melanie was stunned.
This was much easier than she had imagined.
Things that were too easy would always make one feel uneasy.
Melanie wanted to ask.
But before the Hound could speak, Kieran's voice was heard.
"The sixth one!"
Souuu!
As the voice rang out, the sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard, followed by … a series of hissing sounds.
"The seventh one!"
Kieran's voice sounded again.
But this time, the hounds didn't attack again.
Two Hounds were taken out consecutively and it was enough for the rest of the Hounds to realize something. Kieran wasn't just good at sneaking around, he was extremely proficient in it as well.
He was even more proficient than the Hounds themselves!
If it was in the past, if someone said that a Holy Relic Society Knight's [Sneaking] technique was better than the Hounds of the Elder Council, it would surely make people laugh out loud.
But now, the rest of the Hounds couldn't even laugh out loud.
No one would joke around with their own lives.
Not a commoner.
Not even the Hounds.
The Hounds looked around vigilantly, quietly waiting for the dust to settle.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Melanie was one of them.
She didn't think she was wrong.
She thought she underestimated Kieran's calculations.
Now, Kieran would surely leave through the tunnel!
With that thought in mind, Melanie started to secretly send orders to the other Hounds again.
Then …
"The eighth one!"
