Ultimate Slash," Sophie muttered in an incredibly low voice. Her sword flashed with blinding light, and the silver-armored man was split into two.
Thud!
From his head to his torso, his body cleanly split into two parts and fell to the ground.
All of this took too long to describe, but the following actions happened in a split second.
"Excellent," Old First muttered in astonishment.
"Finally, this time we have hit a jackpot," Old Second also spoke with satisfaction.
Hearing their voices of praise, Rick's face turned ugly. He was starting to regret not killing the three of them when he had the chance.
David suddenly thought of something and started walking in the direction of Sophie.
"Are you okay?" David asked in a low voice, his face filled with concern.
At the same time, David was rejoicing in his heart. His guess was spot on. When he reached near Sophie, a window popped in front of him.
[Would you like to sell the body to the bank?]
[Yes/No]
Without hesitating, he clicked on yes.
After all, nobody knew what happened to the silver-armored man's body.
Following David's actions, the body disappeared, and no one seemed to find anything suspicious as it was similar to what happened when David killed the man earlier.
He once again heard the sweet voice of money flowing into his account.
[30,000 spirit stones had been deposited in your account.]
David was instantly on cloud nine; he managed to earn a ton of money without doing anything. Hearing David's words of concern, Sophie was a little touched. After all, no one other than her father treated her with kindness.
The fight on Leon's side was also coming to an end. Sophie and David, both of them, were focused on Leon. The silver-armored man took seven steps to the front and raised his sword at high speed.
"That move!" David muttered. He recognized this was the same move that the man had used. Leon ignored the silver-armored man coming in his direction and stood still.
In the blink of an eye, the man was near Leon and aimed at his waist with his sword.
Swish!
Leon didn't react. His eyes were unusually calm, as if the actions of the man posed no threat.
"Idiot! Move," Sophie couldn't help herself from shouting. She was worried that if Leon didn't move, he was going to die a gruesome death.
Just when the sword was about to reach Leon's body, Sophie closed her eyes. She didn't want to watch any longer.
David also looked at this scene in wonder. He knew Leon definitely wouldn't do something reckless. And indeed, in the next moment, David was proven right.
The sword struck Leon's body and passed through it. His body turned formless for a moment, like a particle soup.
Taking advantage of the moment, Leon's hand moved at lightning speed and pierced the silver-armored man's chest.
Huff!
The silver-armored man coughed blood, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
David looked at this scene in confusion, not understanding what happened in front of him. Although he didn't understand, he still moved closer to Leon and only stopped when the window popped in front of him.
The body disappeared, and David heard a notification once more.
[5,000 spirit stones have been deposited in your account.]
To not attract attention to his sudden action, he asked Leon about his well-being.
"Are you okay, brother?"
Leon looked at him and happily smiled. "I'm okay. Thank you, senior brother, for your concern."
Leon's voice was respectful, and the way he addressed David had also changed. After all, Leon knew he had to depend on David to get out of this place.
No matter how impressive it looked, he had just defeated a small fry at Body Refining Rank 2. At this time, Sophie also arrived.
After hearing David's words, her mood turned a little sour. She thought he was treating her with special care.
Old First and Old Second looked at the screen. The hall had fallen silent.
"King level Crystallization of Life."
Both of them muttered simultaneously. Beside them, Rick's expression was something to look at.
They never expected to find someone with King level Crystallization of Life in the barren wasteland. Old Second and Old First knew about a lot of things, and still they were shocked.
"Old First, I want this boy's body." Old Second's blob excitedly flashed, and he spoke in a jovial tone.
"Hmmm! Let's not hurry. Send king level talent."
Although excited, Old Second agreed with Old First. It was better to be cautious. He didn't want his newly acquired body to suddenly explode because it wasn't able to handle his consciousness.
From their past experiments, the three of them had concluded that for them to successfully take over a body, the body needs to have high spiritual strength.
The space in front of David flashed, and a box appeared in front of him.
"This is your reward," Old First announced in a plain voice. Hearing the voice, David understood.
Looking at the two of his companions, they also had a box lying in front of them.
He cautiously opened the box to look at what was inside it. Inside the box was a beautifully made katana with a glossy finish.
The katana seemed to be crafted by an unparalleled artist. David grabbed it and swung it around to get a feel of it.
David looked unimpressed; it was more fragile than the chair that he had used earlier.
While David was swinging the katana, Sophie was looking at it intently while holding a box in her hand. David felt her gaze and threw the katana in her direction.
He wanted to test something.
Sophie was stunned and hurriedly grabbed it. She looked at David with complicated emotions.
She didn't know how to feel. David felt a thin thread connecting Sophie and him.
Just like last time when he had invested in Emilia, his actions of giving the katana to Sophie were treated as an investment by the bank.
