In the Middle of the Ethen State!
Splash!
A youth's head was sliced with a sharp sword. A young man stood there clutching the sword in his hand.
"You are a demon. Don't even think about approaching me! Ahhhhhh!" With a horrified expression on his face, a young man near the dead body shrieked. He attempted to crawl away but have been unable to move his leg.
With a gloomy smirk on his brownish face, the man holding the sword draws the sword near his mouth and extends out his tongue to taste the blood.
"The flavor of human blood never ceases to astound me." Upon tasting the blood, the man wielding the sword made a remark. He abruptly flung the sword to the ground then said, "But I don't need a sword to consume someone else, do I?"
When his words fell, his right hand clutches the terrified young man's neck on the ground. Suddenly, the young man on the ground changed. His body started shrinking as the muscles on his body disappeared. The wrinkles formed all around his body like an old man.
"Yeah!" When green energy entered his body, the young man groaned with pleasure. In front of him, the terrified man was already like a dried wooden body.
Thud!
The young man threw the corpse on the ground and strokes his hair while moving away. He only walked few meters away until another young man appeared in front of him.
"Harry, you are taking a long time. We are asked to escort the new member to headquarter." The young man spoke with a trace of displeasure on his face. He was wearing black pants and a black coat over a white shirt. He was holding an ancient-style book with a thick cover.
"Danny, you are not here to tell me what to do. And, I am just pleasuring myself. You know how restraint we need to be in headquarter. Instead of lecturing me, you should try to enjoy yourself." Harry made a hectic laugh with a large smile after rebuking Danny.
"I don't think slaughter humans and drinking their blood as a human is a pleasuring thing to do. I might as well spend a night with a girl for the sake of pleasure." Danny instantly gave him a cold glare and spoke.
"What can I do? We are part of Blood Demon King. Even name suggests us to drink the blood." Harry shrugged his soldier while walking past Danny.
"If you want to drink the blood of humans, how about I give you a ride?" Suddenly, a voice rang in his ears. His eyeballs shifted towards the top left side. There was a single-storey building where a young man stood with some bandages on his face.
"Ah! You must be the new recruit. I thought you got swallowed by the zombies and vampires." Harry smirked upon seeing the arrival of the young man.
"I had a rough journey. But, I was bound with his fate. His fate kept me alive and guided me here." The young man with white bandages was none other than Mantle. He was in a rough position with so many bandages on his face.
"So, new recruit, do you need your senior's help to kill some enemies of yours?" Harry gave a creepy and carefree smile to Mantle as he spoke. There was a tone of funniness hidden in his words.
"Yes, I would like to borrow your strength to kill a certain opponent." Mantle nodded his head and spoke with a killing intent erupting from his eyes filled with tons of grievance and revenge.
"Hahaha! I like your style." Harry gave a hectic laugh as he followed Mantle. Danny also followed them since that was his job.
In the Western Part of Ethen State
Bang!
Mike rushed to the side as the sixth prince came closer. The sixth prince's eyes followed him because he'd already predicted. Mike was slapped by the sixth prince's crimson tail. The tail whirled around like a whip. Mike evaded the tail by stamping his right foot and side-flipping to his left.
Jenny stretched her left leg and kicked from the other side. The sixth prince, on the other hand, swings his head and avoids hit. He extends his right hand, a sharp claw aiming for her. After she saw the attack coming, she drew a sword and blocked the claws.
Ding! Crash! Bang!
Mike stepped on the ground and threw his right kick into the sixth prince's head when the sword and claw collided. The force of the kick knocked the sixth prince to the ground. Sparks erupted from the claws and sword.
Bang!
Upon slamming on the ground, the sixth prince balanced his hands on the ground and kicked Mike like a zebra. The kick slammed into his chest and smashed him to the nearest building. After kicking Mike, the sixth prince's front flips with his hands and falls on his foot.
He leaped on-air and rotates one hundred eighty degrees. While rotating, he spreads his claw in order to slash Jenny. At this moment, Jenny didn't have much ability energy to use. She could only rely on her physical strength.
She stomped on the ground to retreat few meters away and shouted "Mike, throw fire at me!"
Hearing her words, Mike stood up on the ground with a confused face. At this moment, the sixth prince had already dashed forward with his claw ready to slash.
Boom!
Mike didn't hesitate for long. The fire energy erupted out of his hand and moved out in the form of a stream. The fire stream was fierce and long as it rushes towards Jenny. When the fire reaches her, the sword on her hand touched the fire with its tip.
Her footstep forward with her body rotating. The sword followed her body from right to left. And, the fire followed the sword. As if she had created a strange relationship between her and the fire.
"Energy Manipulation Art"
"Fierce Fire Slash"
With her footstep moving forward, she eventually crossed her sword against the sixth prince's claw. The sword covered in fire burns with an extreme heat repelled the claws.
Splash!
When her body passed by the sixth prince after the collision, her sword left a fire slash on his body. It was a deep crescent mark on his chest with red blood gushing out of it.
But the sixth prince didn't stop. He turns around and gives Jenny a round kick on her head. The impact of the kick slams her on the ground. The impact caused her to cough blood while rolling away from the sixth prince.
"Hey ugly, I am here!" Suddenly, Mike appeared from behind holding Howling Tiger Spear in his hand, moving towards him. The ability energy infused with the spear, condensing the roar of a tiger. When the sixth prince heard him, his body instantly turned around.
The darkness burst out of him, turning into few seeds. These seeds landed on the ground and released dozens of blackthorns at Mike.
"Thorns of Darkness"
Facing dozens of thorns that were sharp as his spear tip, Mike's eyes flashed with determination.
He swiftly pulls his spear and thrusts it forward. Suddenly, a giant tiger roars out of the spear. The giant tiger was just a phantom but it easily left his spear and rushed towards those thorns, slashing its claw against them.
"Howling Tiger Spear Art- Tiger's Manifestation"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The claw and thorn collided heavily creating destructive waves of energy. While rushing forward, Mike understood his condition and released another wave of energy from his spear with a thrust. This thrust pierced his tiger but instead of dying. The tiger sucked the energy from the spear.
Boom!
Suddenly, the tiger roared like a king and released all of its energy in a single slash of his claw. Though his phantom stuck on his spear and only claw released out it.
"Howling Tiger Spear Art- Tiger Breaking the Cage"
When tiger phantom disappeared with thorns. But the spear was still moving forward with powerful momentum. The sixth prince bent backward, trying to dodge the attack. But suddenly, he realized he made a great mistake.
Until he realized, Mike had already leaped on the air while Jenny kicked straight into his back. The impact caused him to fly in the air. But he had no control over his body.
Above him, Mike's fist was covered with scarlet energy. He clenched his fist and infused the scarlet energy into his fist.
Roar!
Seeing Mike preparing for the attack, the sixth prince stuck out his thin tongue for a massive roar. The roar trembled the surrounding, creating a massive shockwave. But suddenly, Mike shook his scarlet fist.
Boom!
In an instant, a powerful shockwave released out of his fist and repelled the previous shockwave. Mike's body was falling down. When Mike saw that tongue roaring out of his mouth, Mike muttered
"Ugly Creatures! Stop messing with my beautiful earth. You fuckers have turned thousands of beautiful girls into hellish creatures. From today, I promise I WILL KEEP MY EARTH BEAUTIFUL."
"Fire Demon-Fighting Four Direction- Eastern Rolling Fire Punch!"
He stretches his arm back in the same position and punches straight. While punching forward, he rotates his hand making his fire move in a spiral. Thus, the flames condensed into a powerful punch spun like a cylinder before reaching few meters away.
Bang!
The flames carried intense heat along with the powerful force. When the spiral fire punch struck his stomach, it razed his existence in the mid-air from inside and outside without any explosion.
"Who?" But suddenly, Mike felt abnormal energy dashing near him.
