Five knights stood in front of a glowing golden chest. It was where the sovereign gauntlet was kept, and they guarded it with their lives. Only the strongest men at the immortal level were qualified to face them.
These five were known as the Alpha Soldier Unit.
Originally, they were part of the great Monarch Knight's holy army. However, they had defected because of the immense slaughters they had to partake in.
In fact, it seemed to them that the Monarch Knight wasn't who he said he was.
The man was supposed to be the almighty creator who made this challenge to make stronger men for the universe to pull in. However, they finally realized what he did with the dead bodies. He was a sick man that sold them to collectors!
There was a cult, one of the second biggest powers in second heaven, called the Body Castle Sect. However, even though their name sounded harmless, their real mission was to harness the powers of cadavers to create powerful beings! Indeed, they saw the Monarch Knight with one of those men, and they immediately left.
Disgusting! Utterly Filthy!
Such men were easy to recognize by their smell. They'd always wear cologne to cover up their stench! It made it even worse. It was the smell of cheap cologne, and dead bodies together! However, they had to admit this man was strong.
The four sat down in front waiting for someone to reach point 200. First, there would be two hundred challenges, and countless fierce villains trying to slaughter whomever it was that just woke them. Yes, he better be powerful!
….
"You little brat. You think we don't smell the fear on you."
Lie Wei Ying walked up to the first point. As soon as he stepped on the circle, hundreds of men seemed to branch out from the walls.
It seemed like he was in some sort of maze, and he had to make it to the end to get the sovereign gauntlets. However, he immediately felt like he no longer had to be scared. He pulled out the new and improved Extremely OP daggers of the Inferno.
The gigantic image of the inferno now had four wings on its back. It had grown stronger in its sleep.
"Master, I'm so glad you remembered me!"
The villains all laughed and pulled out weapons. They had chains on their feet that glowed red. It was a very special chain meant for prisoners to keep their powers in check. However, since the boy was around now it immediately unshackled.
"HEHEHEHE, Kill him and we're free." A black bandana bandit seemed to disappear from the wall and lashed out with a sharp blade drilled into his boots.
Lie Wei Ying had to dodge backward and gasp at the same time. Why was someone at the emperor level so powerful. It didn't make any sense! He should be having no trouble at all with such filthy men. They reeked of death and bad deeds!
"Swoosh."
Ninety bandits followed up with powerful roundhouses. Some of them pulled out shanks and carved away the bricks underneath Lie Wei Ying's feet. He flipped thousands of times in a few seconds dancing away from countless villainess hands.
"System, what is going on! How are emperors so powerful!"
Lie Wei Ying thought he was at least as strong as an earth god. These emperors were the level before that. What exactly was happening? He nimbly dodged as his feet floated off the ground and the image lashed out for the first time. All the villains held out their hands and a dragon with hundreds of heads seemed to form in an elusive defensive front.
"Defense of the enslaved!"
"Boom!"
Lie Wei Ying saw smoke in front of him. "Did I get them system?"
The system shook his head. He realized at this moment that the kid might be over his head. It seemed that these men had earned the connection of brotherhood. Usually, only men who served in a unit together would be able to earn such a fierce merit. However, apparently, criminals who spent hundreds if not thousands of years locked in a room together also could begin to grasp its principles. Their powers seemed to blend into each other as they moved.
"Op lotus steps of the earth dragon," Lie Wei Ying activated it and charged forward. He moved incredibly fast and ended up directly in front of who he thought was the ring leader.
The man's shank was a little bit different then all the other men. His seemed to be made from this gold. However, as soon as Lie Wei Ying arrived the man smirked.
"Hmph, you aren't so tough little guy." The prisoner lashed out his hand and slammed it into the shadow of Lie Wei Ying.
The rest of the prisoners all held out their hands and channeled their energy to their boss.
"Kill him now boss. This is all of our power!"
The boss smiled and punched out to the right. He timed where Lie Wei Ying would show up perfectly. He had been in enough brawls with stronger men this little kid here. He'd been defending the sovereign gauntlets for nearly eight hundred thousand years.
Having to deal with a little tike who could barely tie his shoes would be no problem.
Lie Wei Ying's eyes opened wide as a golden fist met with the side of his arm.
"Boom@"
Lie Wei Ying, however, barely moved. He smiled and grabbed the prisoners head and locked on with all of his strength. It was about time he stopped denying his call to evil. He squeezed hard and the prisoners golden body seemed to dim.
"We surrender," the captain said, "Please, just leave me and my men alive."
"Crack!"
"You've killed the great villain the ripper of heaven."
Exp + 200.
"You've brought solace to countless souls whom he kept in his pocket."
OP points + 80
Lie Wei Ying walked away from the rest of his men as they ran over towards their boss. He couldn't spare everyone or else he'd never get experience.
