The calm voice was like the cold wind of the extreme north.
The Hounds who heard the voice couldn't help but shiver.
The silent death of their comrade finally made these infamous hounds feel a trace of fear.
The voice that sounded out after that caused this trace of fear to grow even stronger.
"Ninth!"
"Tenth!"
When two bodies fell to the ground, the number of Hounds was reduced by half!
The Hounds were panicking!
Ever since they joined the Elder Council and became the Hounds, they had never encountered such a situation.
In every battle, they hunted down the mission target with an absolute advantage.
But now, it seemed like the tables had turned!
The unfamiliar feeling made the Hounds even more anxious and doubtful.
Each of them stood on the spot, carefully setting up their own defense.
From that moment onwards, anyone who approached them would be an enemy.
Let alone Melanie's order.
The rest of the Hounds ignored her order.
"Bastard!"
Melanie cursed her comrades in her heart.
She finally understood Kieran's plan at that moment.
Kieran didn't even have the intention to run away, he really wanted to fight them to the death.
Once she thought about her wrong order from before, Melanie felt a wave of rage, especially when Kieran used her order, the rage made her breath heavy.
However, Melanie didn't lose her cool.
She knew if she didn't want to be taken down by Kieran one by one, the dust before her eyes must be removed!
When the thought came into her mind, Melanie didn't hesitate anymore.
A thumb-sized, conch-like magic tool appeared in her hand.
A moment later, a violent wind blew out from the conch.
Fuuuu!
The dust dispersed in the violent wind.
The figure in the sewer became clear again.
The Hounds saw each other.
They also saw … Kieran.
Kieran who was standing beside the sword case!
"Go!"
When they could see again, the Hounds regained their courage. After a loud shout, four of the Hounds, who were good at close combat, surrounded Kieran and charged towards him.
Two of the Hounds raised the crossbows in their hands.
A low incantation sounded from the two Hounds.
A tall and buff Hound grabbed [Calga's Crush], preventing Kieran from repeating the same trick.
The cooperation between the hounds was completed quickly.
Melanie glared fiercely at Kieran.
She would not let go of the moment when Kieran was killed.
Otherwise, how could he vent the hatred in his heart?
She saw Kieran open the sword case and take out a huge two-handed sword. The whole process was neither rushed nor slow, and it even gave off a feeling of leisurely.
The attacks of the four Hounds were already within reach.
Kieran, however, was still calm and collected.
Melanie had a bad premonition when she saw the scene before her.
However, the four Hounds who had rushed in front of Kieran did not think so much. All they saw was Kieran being caught off guard.
"Die!"
"Retreat!"
Two voices rang out at the same time.
The first one was the Hounds who wanted to tear Kieran apart and wash away their shame.
The second one was Melanie who thought of something.
However, it was too late!
A supernatural shadow shrouded the area with Kieran as the center.
Kieran and the four Hounds who were good at close combat had vanished.
The Hounds who were wielding their crossbows and muttering incantations had lost their target.
The Hounds who were holding [Calga's Crush] tightly were astonished.
They never expected such an unexpected turn of events.
When the howls and agonizing cries came from the shadow, the Hounds who were facing the unexpected turn of events turned pale again.
Including Melanie.
The lady who acted as the Head Hound of the Hounds, her face was extremely ugly at the moment.
She had received information about Kieran being able to borrow the power of shadows but only she knew about it, she didn't tell the rest of the Hounds at all.
The relationship between the Hounds wasn't some kind of peaceful and friendly partnership.
Fighting and devouring each other was the core of the relationship between the Hounds.
So, Melanie didn't think it was overboard for her to hide some information.
However, she didn't expect her hiding would affect a battle of life and death.
Melanie's heart was spinning when she saw the fear on her so-called comrades' faces after they lost their target again. However, her mouth shouted, "Attack!"
The Hounds with crossbows heard Melanie's order and fired at the shadow without a second thought.
Sou Sou Sou!
The arrows fell into the shadow like rain.
The muttering Hounds didn't stop either.
The blazing flames together with the poisonous mist gushed into the shadow like the rising tide.
Then …
There was only silence.
The shadow that blocked their sight didn't make any more noise.
The Hounds stared at the shadow, hoping to see a decent outcome for them.
Regardless of the situation, people would always have the mentality of fluke.
Even the Hounds were no exception.
"Is he dead?"
The Hound who was holding [Calga's Crush] said.
However, the moment his words subsided, the Hound was dragged into the shadow by the tremendous force from the chain along with [Calga's Crush].
Kacha!
After the clear sound of the Hound's neck being twisted, the remaining four Hounds shivered.
They started to attack the shadow crazily as if they were venting their anger.
Arrows, blazing flames, poisonous mist.
It covered the sky and covered the land!
However, the erected [Elmerius Sword] acted like the sturdiest shield. It didn't just block the attacks for Kieran, it also allowed Kieran to rush out of the shadow and swiftly approach the four Hounds.
The four Hounds were forced to retreat.
They looked at Kieran who was approaching them as if they were looking at the Grim Reaper's arrival, their eyes were filled with fear.
At the critical moment of life and death, the four Hounds revealed their hidden trump cards.
The ground beneath Kieran's feet turned into a swamp under the dim shine.
Two iron chains as thick as an arm appeared out of thin air and bound Kieran who was holding [Elmerius Sword] tightly.
Under a strong suction force, Kieran, who was tied up, was being pulled down by the strong suction force.
However, it wasn't the end …
KABOOM!
Amidst a loud bang, a 3-meter tall metal puppet with mystical runes branded all over its body swung its fist at Kieran.
Faster than the metal puppet was a small black venomous snake.
The venomous snake transformed into a mirage and threw itself at Kieran's neck.
The four Hounds who were cornered had fierce gazes and ferocious expressions.
Whether it was the swamp or the iron chains, both of them were extremely powerful items. Even Calga the Knight who was known for his strength couldn't break free.
Kieran who was on par with Calga in terms of strength would suffer the same fate!
Let alone the metal puppet that was once used as a siege weapon and the black venomous snake that could kill an elephant with a single drop of venom!
So, Kieran was dead for sure!
They believed so.
