The swamp couldn't stop Kieran's steps, Kieran walked out easily.
The chains couldn't restrain Kieran's body, he shook his body and the chains were sent flying away.
The venomous snake that ambushed Kieran didn't even touch him and was smashed into meat paste by the flying chains.
As for the metal puppet that once attacked the city?
It was slashed in half by [Elmerius Sword].
"This … This … How is this possible?
"How can you have such great power!"
You have been pretending all this while? "
Amid the disbelieving exclamations, the four Hounds turned around and ran.
It was at that moment that the four Hounds realized Melanie had disappeared without them knowing.
"That damn bitch!"
The four Hounds cursed in their hearts at the same time and ran even faster.
However, just like how they underestimated Kieran's strength, Kieran's speed wasn't something they could imagine either.
After breaking through the limit, Kieran's Agility was the same as Strength, gaining + 1 and reaching SS- rank.
Even with [Elmerius Sword], Kieran could come and go like the wind.
Disbelief froze on the four Hounds' faces.
Until death, they didn't understand why Kieran was so much stronger than the information they received.
Similar to how they didn't understand why they lost a battle that should've been an easy victory.
Huu!
Looking at the Hound's body on the ground, Kieran heaved a heavy breath of turbid air.
Then, his body swayed slightly.
His tightened muscles slightly loosened up.
Instantly, streams of fresh blood flowed down from all over his body, especially the two wounds on his back.
Even with [Tenacious Soft Mail] and [Secondary Armored Skin] as a buffer, the cuts were so deep that the bones were exposed.
The slight movement of his body caused the pain that followed, causing Kieran to frown.
However, Kieran didn't regret using his back to face the attacks from the Hounds.
He used the two wounds in exchange for the deaths of the two Hounds.
In fact, every wound on his body had been inflicted this way.
From the very beginning, when he planned to cripple the Twenty Hounds, Kieran had decided to end the battle as soon as possible. He didn't want to give the Twenty Hounds any time to react and just beat them up.
Kieran, who had done an in-depth investigation on the Twenty Hounds, knew very well that once the Twenty Hounds were on their guard and unleashed their full power, he would be the one to die!
Of course, transforming into a demon or summoning beast could turn the tide of the battle.
But this way, he would have to bear the possibility of failing the main mission.
Unless he could kill all the insiders and erase all traces.
But that was impossible.
Let's not talk about the people from the Elder Council lying in ambush around the area.
Just the extra 'spectator' made Kieran know what he should choose.
Pa, pa, pa.
When Kieran's gaze landed on the shadow at the end of the tunnel, applause rang out.
A tall and thin man walked out slowly while clapping his hands.
"Not bad!
First, you used the arrogance of the Twenty Hounds, then you traded your injuries for their deaths, creating an unrivaled image for them. After they lost their composure, you delivered a fatal blow to them … You are really not bad!
But, it also fully proves that the Twenty Hounds are just for show! "
The man put on an act.
Kieran didn't reply, sizing up the man with his eyes.
"I forgot to introduce myself, Union Leader Direct Action Team Captain, Chatres.
May I know if you want to leave with me?
Or do you want me to subdue you and bring you away?
Of course, I don't mind bringing back a dead body! "
The man's words were filled with threats.
The moment the man's words subsided, he made his move in an extremely sinister manner.
A silver handgun appeared in the man's hand, and he pulled the trigger at Kieran.
Bang Bang Bang!
Ding Ding Ding!
[Elmerius Sword] was used as a shield again, sparks flew everywhere.
The sudden ambush failed but the captain didn't mind it at all.
Chatres had carefully checked on Kieran's wounds before the ambush. He knew Kieran was heavily injured and basically out of danger.
Chatres was quite certain that if the Hounds weren't scared out of their wits, Kieran wouldn't have been able to kill the rest of them so easily.
However, with such severe injuries and the final explosion, Chatres believed Kieran wouldn't have lasted much longer.
Just look at the blood that flowed out, it was enough for a common man to go into shock.
With a malicious smile, the captain of the operation team shuffled his steps swiftly, ready to circle behind [Elmerius Sword] and deal a fatal blow to Kieran.
However, when the captain moved around, he was stunned.
A black muzzle was pointed at him.
Bang!
A muzzle flash burst out from the gun in Kieran's hand.
Chatres, who was shot in between his brows, staggered a few steps before his body fell to the ground.
After finishing off the idiotic imposter with a single shot, Kieran quickly dodged to the side but the wound on his back slowed him down a little.
Puk!
A cold glare flashed and a longsword flew over from the air, piercing his chest.
The sharp blade brushed past his heart.
Wung!
The longsword trembled for a while and was about to crush his heart. Kieran grabbed the blade and pulled it out.
However, the intense movement made Kieran's mouth corner bleed.
Even the longsword in his hand flew out after struggling and fell back into its owner's hand.
Melanie held the longsword and flicked it with her finger. Countless drops of blood sprayed out from the long and narrow blade. Her cold eyes were looking at Kieran.
"I thought you would be like those idiots, thinking I ran away.
But, it doesn't make any difference!
Killing you now is as easy as flipping my hand! "
Melanie said slowly and the longsword in her hand flew up again, thrusting at Kieran.
Puk!
The longsword perforated Kieran's body again.
However, Kieran avoided the vital parts.
At the same time, Kieran grabbed the blade again.
"As easy as flipping my hand?
You are also heavily injured right? "
Kieran didn't care about his left hand that was cut into a bloody mess, his eyes were staring at the bloody bandage on Melanie's body.
"But you will die first!"
Melanie looked at Kieran with a sneer.
"I think you have forgotten that I am a Knight, healing is a basic skill for me!"
Kieran's right hand was glowing in white.
The warm presence made Melanie's face change for the worse.
The Hound disregarded everything else and dashed towards Kieran.
Although it was extremely dangerous to engage in close combat with Kieran who displayed powerful strength, Melanie didn't dare to let Kieran heal her.
Once Kieran received the healing and recovered a little, she would fall into a dead end.
Engaging in close combat with a heavily injured Kieran might be dangerous but it wasn't a sure death.
It wasn't hard for Melanie to make a choice.
A dagger appeared in the Hound's hand and was aimed at Kieran's throat.
But at the next moment, her wrist that was holding the dagger was grabbed by Kieran's right hand as fast as lightning.
That speed didn't look like a heavily injured person on the verge of death.
"You!"
Melanie widened her eyes. She couldn't imagine that Kieran was still pretending just now.
But why did he do that?
Questions appeared in the Hound's heart but she didn't have the chance to ask.
[Power Glory, Heavy Hand] was activated right away, the impact caused further damage to the Hound and the [Death Throw] that followed crushed all the bones in the Hound's body.
The moment the Hound died, many footsteps came from the tunnel further away.
It was the reason why Kieran wanted to kill the Hound even if he had to risk getting injured again.
A few seconds later, he would have to face the Elder Council's subordinates led by a Hound.
To Kieran at the moment, it would be a disaster.
But now?
Kieran looked at the messy crowd in the tunnel, his body was shining in white brilliance.
When the brilliance reached its peak …
