"DRAGON SPEAR!" Nara shouted.
The men surrounding her all raised their swords in front of them, trying to block the spear.
Clash!
Like a knife slicing through butter, the spear shattered the swords of all the men around Nara. The force of the impact shattered the men around the street, some were even thrown into the nearby walls of the buildings. All in all, they were all seriously injured.
Unfortunately, after completing the attack, the spear shattered.
Nara stopped spinning and fell on one knee, exhausted and heavily injured. Her forearm was drenched in blood as well as her back.
She panted heavily. "Is this the end?" She questioned quietly. "Harley, where are you?"
"What was that?" Bonosus asked angrily. "How could that bitch injure all of our men?"
"It's internal energy," The skinny man replied quietly.
"What internal energy? The men you gave me are all useless!" Bonosus shouted.
"Shut up! Fool!" The skinny man spoke coldly. "Luckily, we brought more men. Otherwise, we might not have been able to beat her. That was Golden Internal Energy."
"What's Golden internal energy?"
"It's no use explaining. You could never understand." The skinny man said, unsheathing the pair of daggers behind his waist. "I'll show you the power of internal energy,"
As he said this, a green light enveloped his feet.
Swoosh!
He dashed forward, closing the distance between him and Nara in just a second or two. He appeared behind her back, with his daggers raised high above his head, ready to slash Layla.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Sounds of carriage riding on the stone way filled the street again, making everyone, including the skinny man who was just about to slash Layla, turn toward the direction of the sound.
Swoosh!
Before the carriage even appeared from the darkness, the sound of something slicing the air sounded.
The eyes of the skinny man widened, and he instantly retreated a few meters from Nara.
Boom!
A black sword fell behind Nara, right at the place where the skinny man was standing.
Right after the black sword fell, from the direction it came, carriages started appearing one after another. Ultimately, ten carriages appeared.
The doors of the carriages all opened, and five men in full light silver armor came out of each carriage.
"Nara!" Harley screamed, coming out of the carriage. He rushed toward Nara.
"Harley," Seeing Harley, Nara mustered her last strength, raising. She took a few steps toward Harley, but her legs gave in.
Before she could collapse, Harley reached her. She fell into his arms.
"Harley," Tears appeared in her eyes as she hugged him tightly. "I thought I would never see you and Henry again."
"It's okay now. I am here," Harley comforted her.
"Harley," Nolan walked over to Harley. "Take her inside the restaurant and treat her wounds."
Harley looked hesitantly at Nolan. He was worried about Nara, but he also wanted to take revenge.
"Harley, Go!" Nolan shouted. "Her health is more important than getting revenge. Leave the rest to me. Though I am not strong enough to beat that skinny man, I promise I will make Bonosus regret being born."
"I count on you," Harley said. He took Nara into his arms and headed inside the restaurant together with the startled Layla.
"Who?" The skinny man screamed in anger. "Who dares!"
"I dare," A voice came from the carriage from which Nolan and Harley came.
Guard No.1 stepped out of the carriage.
The eyes of the skinny man widened, and his pupils constantly trembled in fear from the sight he saw.
"Black armor, black sword, you are..." The skinny man took a step back in fear. "Guard No.1 from the Black Rose Organization, The Berserker. W-What are you doing here?"
'He is terrified? Is the difference in their strength really that large?' Nolan thought, looking at the skinny man's behavior. 'Inspect," He used his skill.
[Ding]
[You skill, Inspect leveled up]
[Inspect lv.1] - [Inspect lv.2]
Seeing this, Nolan could not help but smile happily. 'Inspect,' Nolan used the skill on Guard No.1.

[Internal Energy-Red: 10 years]

[Stamina: 56]
[Agility: 48]
Looking at the Guard No.1's stats, for a moment, Nolan had only one thought. 'Insane.' His stats were completely insane.
'Ohh," Nolan came to himself, remembering to ask the important question. 'System, what is this internal energy?'
[Every strong martial master has internal energy. Each internal energy has its own attribute, and when used, it gives a huge boost to the user in the attribute corresponding to the internal energy]
'In the column with the internal energy, Guard No.1 also has the word RED. What is it?' Nolan asked.
[Host, focus on the battle before yourself. You can ask questions later]
'Right,' For the first time, Nolan did not complain, and took the system's advice immediately, focusing on the battle before him. 'Inspect,' He used his skill on the skinny man.

'He is strong,' Nolan thought. 'But he is far inferior to Guard No.1.'
"Spacing out in the middle of this fight, you are asking for death!" The strong-looking man who normally stood beside Bonosus saw that Nolan was spacing out, so he took the opportunity to eliminate him.
Nolan instantly turned toward the direction of the voice. 'Crap!' Nolan's eyes widened, and his heart started pounding like crazy.
The sword of the strong-looking man was already swung down at him, cutting through the air. It was just a few inches away from Nolan. 'I was careless.'
At the moment, it looked like time froze, allowing Nolan to look at how his carelessness brought his demise in slow motion. 'Is this the end?' Nolan thought, closing his eyes. 'What a stupid way to die.'
Clang!
A sharp sound of metal colliding sounded.
Nolan opened his eyes.
A great axe has blocked the sword. "Prisoner, leave this one to me!" Brutus said with a smile on his face.
Nolan forced a smile on his face. "I owe you one," He said. "Sword!" Nolan screamed, and the sword appeared in his hand. He started slowly walking toward Bonosus.
"Stop!" The skinny man, Klint shouted, enveloping his feet into his green internal energy, and dashed toward Nolan.
Swoosh!
With incredible speed, Guard No.1 dashed to the side, blocking Klint's way. And what was even more incredible was that he did not even use internal energy to block Klint's way who was using internal energy.
"Out of my way!" Klint screamed courageously, though his trembling hands gave him away. "You may be far stronger than me, but trust me, you cannot afford the consequences if Bonosus dies!"
"Hmph," Guard No.1 smirked, walking over to his sword, still stuck in the ground. "What is it that I can not afford?" He asked as he took the handle of the sword and pulled it out. It has left a deep cut into the stone paved road.
"If he dies, we will start a war! We will destroy the Black Rose ORganization!" Klint threatened.
"Hahahahah!" Guard No.1 burst into laughter. "I was not in the mood for
laughing, but you really are funny." Just as he said this, the next moment, his expression turned dead serious. "Do you think we would meddle in this if we were not prepared for war?"
"You...You!" A dawn of realization fell upon Klint. "You are meddling in this because you want to start a war?"
"Congratulations," Guard No.1 smiled evilly. "Too bad you realized it too late. Tonight, all the business objects of your Viper organization will be set on fire!"
Swoosh!
Klint dashed toward Guard No.1. Though he was far inferior to him, Klint could not accept the truth and was frustrated that their Viper Organization did not take the initiative to attack the Black Rose organization. So in a fit of rage, he attacked Guard No.1.
Guard No.1 smirked and dashed forward toward Klint.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding filled the street as Klint battled with Guard No.1 and Brutus with the other, strong-looking man.
"Don't come closer!" Bnosus screamed at Nolan.
However, Nolan just ignored him and continued walking towards him. With every step Nolan took, Bonosus took a step back.
PAM!
His trembling feet could not support his weight anymore, and he fell on his butt.
"NO! NO, NO! Don't come closer!" Bonosus crawled on the ground, trying to get away from Nolan.
But Nolan quickly caught up.
Thud!
Nolan stabbed the sword into Bonosus's leg muscle.
"AGhhhhhhhhh!" Bonosus howled in pain, tears in his eyes.
"Come on! Don't scream!" Nolan spoke, taking the sword out of Bonosus's leg.
Thud!
He stabbed his other leg.
"AGhhhhhhhh!" Bonosus experienced immense pain as Nolan twitched the sword in his leg muscle.
"Are you scared to die?" Nolan asked coldly.
"I am, I am!" Bonosus screamed with tears, nodding his head.
"Perfect!" A monstrous smile spread on Nolan's face. "Then, before I kill you, I will make you beg me for death!"
Swoosh!
Nolan swung his sword at Bonosus's leg. But because he swung the sword weakly, the sword could not cut Bonosus's leg off, and it stopped after colliding with his bone.
"AGHHHHHHHHH!"
Nolan ignored Bonosus's screams and took the sword out.
"You almost destroyed everything!" Nolan screamed angrily, stabbing his sword into one of Bonosus's legs again. "I worked hard to build the restaurant, and you almost destroyed it! And on top of that, you almost killed a dear friend of mine!"
A crazy smile spread on Nolan's face. "Don't worry! Though you have many sins, after I finish with you, even the devil will pity you and will let you into heaven,"
With a crazed smile on his face, Nolan repeatedly stabbed Bonosus's legs until he turned them into a bloody mess. Slices of human meat were all around. And no one could say that the things that hung on Bonosus's lower body were once his legs.
Halfway through the torture, Bonosus lost his voice to scream, and now after Nolan finished torturing him, he noticed that Bonosus had died.
"Go to hell!"
Swoosh!
Nolan swung his sword, cutting Bonosus's head off.
