A man dressed entirely in black walked out from the forest behind him. "Old friend, long time no see, hehe!"
His chilling aura and chilling laughter made people feel extremely uncomfortable. When Irene saw this person, her petite body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was the side effect of the Netherworld Vision.
Reynolds's pupils shrank. "Leon!?" His face was riddled with holes. Half of his white bones were exposed, and half of his flesh and half of his bones were even uglier than a skeleton. It was extremely ugly and disgusting, but Reynolds still recognized him at a glance. But he really couldn't understand. Wasn't Leon seriously injured to the point where his dark spiritual energy was almost completely destroyed? Wasn't he even weaker than an ordinary civilian? How could he appear here? And judging from the dark corrosion just now, his spiritual energy seemed to have recovered greatly. What was going on? Reynolds's mind was filled with confusion, but he didn't have time to think about it. Big trouble was coming.
Twelve people wearing black cloaks appeared quietly with Leon. Their bodies emitted an aura of death. The skull emblem on their shoulders was especially conspicuous. It was also a symbol that Reynolds hated to the core. Without a doubt, it was that damned Azrael Hunting Group. But judging from the differences in their physiques and professions, they didn't seem to be the same group that had been harassing him ever since he escaped from the 376th Regiment. They were probably other members of the Azrael Hunting Group.
Reynolds was only shocked, but then his lips curled into a mocking smile. "What, I didn't kill you last time. Are you here to die this time?"
Leon didn't get angry at Reynolds's words. He smiled strangely and said coldly, "This time, there are three top experts from the Azrael Hunting Group who came with me! And I also have a sure-kill skill that I just learned to use on you, hehe!! "
A terrifying laughter rang out. Reynolds frowned and said, "Linger, step back. Leave this to me."
As he spoke, he moved to take out his longsword.
Irene obediently retreated behind Reynolds. Her hands condensed a dense amount of water elemental energy, ready to assist Reynolds.
But in the next moment, Reynolds's expression changed!
"How is this possible?! What's going on?! "
Looking at Reynolds's shocked and panicked expression, Irene hurriedly asked, "Lindy, what's wrong?!"
Reynolds didn't answer. He roared like a madman, "My bracelet, it's absorbing my power!"
Eirinn's heart sank when she heard Renault's roar. She knew that things were not going well.
Leon looked playfully at Renault who was shouting and yelling. He turned his head and said to the members of Azrael's hunting group, "Guys, this man in front of you is quite strong. You have to use your ultimate skill to kill him! I will also use my sure-kill skill to assist you! "
Reynold still hadn't recovered from the sudden turn of events. When he saw Leon and the other members of Azrael's hunting squad closing in on him, he clenched his teeth and grabbed Irene's hand. "Let's go!"
Having said that, he used all his strength to bring Eirinn away.
…
Reynolds finally knew why he was so tired during the past few days of escape.
Because he might have already been drained of all his energy by the bracelet!
But what was going on?! Why did he lose his power? Could it be … that something happened to the world inside the bracelet?
Reynold didn't have time to think about it. Leon and the other members of the hunting squad had already caught up to them!
"Keke! Reynold! Where do you think you're going?! "
Leon's horrifying voice came from behind.
Reynold pulled Irene to a stop at a cliff in front of them.
"Is there no way out?" Reynold laughed bitterly. He turned around and looked at Leon's group.
"There's no way out! Reynold! "
"Lindy, what do we do?" Irene asked.
Reynold frowned. He looked at Leon and the others who were closing in on them, and then at the cliff behind them. He smiled helplessly, "Looks like we have to fight to the death!"
Reynold gripped Irene's hand tightly. He looked at her affectionately.
Irene seemed to understand Reynold's meaning. She nodded slightly.
"Go! Kill these bastards!!! "
With Leon's order, twelve members of Azrael's hunting squad rushed towards Reynold and Irene like maggots.
"Now's the time!"
Renault roared loudly and confirmed with Irene's gaze. Then, the two of them jumped down the cliff!
"What!!"
Leon's eyes were so red that they were about to bleed! He never thought that the two of them would choose to jump off the cliff! He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chase them!!! They won't die!!! "
The other members of Azrael said, "Young master Leon, we can't chase them anymore. We should go around to the other side of the mountain. That's the end of the cliff!"
"Then what are we waiting for!! Chase them!! "
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Leon's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the endless abyss. After a long time, he roared, "I swear, Reynold, I will kill you with my own hands!!"
"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance."
A low female voice came from behind Leon.
Leon turned pale with fright and immediately turned his head —
Pfft.
Leon felt a chill in his chest, followed by a burning pain that spread throughout his body.
"Ahhh —"
Leon screamed as he looked at the woman in front of him. She held a sharp dagger in her right hand and stabbed it into his chest.
"Avina!!! I'll kill you!!!! "
Leon wanted to condense the last bit of his dark force, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move at all.
"Ah, letting you die like this is too easy for you."
Avina quickly pulled out the dagger and kicked Leon's body.
Peng — —
"Ahhh — —"
Along with Leon's screams, Leon gradually disappeared into the abyss.
Avina worriedly said to herself, "Reynold, I hope you're safe … sigh."
After saying that, she put on the hermit's cloak and disappeared into the night once again …
… …
… …
"Du … …" The horn that signaled the arrival of the ship sounded. A large number of islands appeared on the horizon. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the countless islands, as if they were inlaid with gold. This was the atmosphere of the island country Akalin. If they weren't forced to flee here and came here to play, this would be a very enjoyable trip.
It wasn't Reynold's first time out on the sea, but the ship this time was very strange. It didn't have any propellers, engines, or sails. It didn't have any of the basic things that ships on earth had. More accurately, it wasn't a ship, but a strange creature called the Sea Worm. It was very large, like a small floating island. It had a hard shell like a turtle, but it was much flatter than a turtle shell. Walking on it was no different from walking on flat ground, so passengers couldn't feel that they were on the sea.
