What better way than to take it by force? With the support of the Necro Church, no power would be able to stop them.
Since this city did not ban killing, he decided to get some revenge for the harm they caused to his new home.
Entering the city, he did not see anyone walking in the street. Even the people who always loitered around the alleyway were no longer present.
'Oh?' He smirked as he walked in the open without any fear.
His appearance was immediately captured by some people who were hiding in their rooms.
Even though a lot had happened during his absence, his reputation was still there.
He did not change his outfit, only covering his face with a mask that looked like a fox.
In just a matter of seconds, the news about him returning to the city started spreading rapidly.
The powerhouses who caught wind of his existence immediately started moving.
Those from the Salvation Church were quite interested in letting him join their church; they did not care about his opinion.
If he was too stubborn, they would just kill him. Since this was the black market, the abandoned place of the public, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they had the strength to back it up.
"Hmm? My, my, what a surprise meeting you again." He chuckled as he saw a person pulling up with a large number of people.
It was none other than the person who told him the best food in this city was in the Falling Moon.
"It is nice to meet you again, friend." The person continued to smile, but with Daniel's sharp eye, he could see that he was quite nervous.
"I wish we would have met again in better terms." He said to him as he pulled his saber and unsheathed it.
"Wait! Why start a fight? We had never been enemies." The person quickly raised his hand.
He wanted to diffuse the rising tension between the two groups.
"Sorry, but I dislike you lunatics and hypocrites." These two words were what people of the Salvation Church really hated.
"Tzeach, I think that you should stop hoping that he would willingly join us." A burly figure grabbed the person Daniel was talking to before shoving him to the side.
"I have heard about you, and frankly, I do not see the so-called living legend of this city." The burly man snorted.
Daniel started laughing manically. An aura of death seemed to spread all over him as his body started to exude purple mist that hovered around him.
Twin Star Slash!
He suddenly accelerated towards the burly man without any warning.
The burly man was cut in half before his people could react.
"Today, I shall bathe this city with blood once again." He meant this.
Tenfold Strike!
With the addition of strength and speed threshold, he could now perform Fivefold Strike in both hands.
The name was quite confusing, as he could only strike five times and not fivefold, but each strike would get stronger.
The strikes were all about momentum. As long as he was not stopped and completed all strikes, he could deliver a powerful strike towards even gold rankers.
Instantly, dozens of members of the Salvation Church were massacred. Upon seeing this, Tzeach started to run away.
"Wind Dragon Howl!" Suddenly, his blood started to boil as if dragons were roaring in his body.
The muscles on his hand bulged. Although it was just a split second, Daniel's eyes turned to that of a lizard.
An illusionary image that looked like scales appeared on his body, and a dragon-shaped image rose from him.
As he twisted his body with force and speed, he created a cyclone that emitted a dragon howl, tearing everything that caught up with it into shreds.
Every member of the Salvation Church that was nearby was pulled into the twister, dying in a painful manner.
The wind shredded everything. The invisible sword energy pierced through the flesh. The formidable dragon energy destroyed whatever it collided with.
The screams and dragon howls made the appearance of the twister terrifying. Even the lunatics from the Salvation Church could not help but tremble in fear upon seeing it.
Daniel stopped as he felt a large amount of his energy and vitality decreasing. It seemed that this move was not something that he could use all of the time.
'If only Bless was awake.' Even though he had the ability to absorb energy by consuming flesh, including those of his kind, he would not do it personally.
Blink Thrust!
He appeared in front of one fighter and pierced through his body.
Grabbing another, he smashed it with one who was clearly trying to run away.
It was a carnage. The majority of people here were bronze rankers. Only a couple of them were silver rankers, but unless they brought a peak-level one, they were no match against him.
One person was clearly quite aware of this, and it was Tzeach. He was now running as fast as he could.
"Sht! Sht! Why did they try to confront that monster!? I need to inform Elder Brayu about this!" He cursed while running.
They were clearly outmatched. Even if they brought a large number of personnel, it made no difference.
Meanwhile, the news about him confronting the Salvation Church started to spread. The appearance of the earlier twister only further solidified this rumor.
In the Falling Moon, one person was chuckling as she listened to the news given to her by her subordinates.
"They are quite foolish to dare and invite him to join them. Well, I AM the only person who knows that he is from the city, so it should not be a surprise for me." She liked the feeling of being smarter than others.
"But sister, can he really go against the Salvation Church? Even the seven lords of the combined were not a match against them." Her sister asked.
"No matter. At least we might be able to see the full extent of his strength. Besides, if the two of them were truly to go all out and cause too much destruction, the Demon King would definitely make a move." A light flashed in her eyes.
The Demon King, the title given to all the servants of the Demon Emperor, ruler of all the black market cities all over this region.
Their strength was unfathomable, as all of them were high-level gold rankers and not people who should be messed with.
"Really!? Is he powerful enough to draw out the attention of the Demon King!?" Her sister was shocked.
"I do not know, but something about him makes me feel that his depth is immeasurable." She calmly said.
Back to Daniel, he was trying to calm his raging blood. His heart was now beating so quickly, as if he had entered Rampage Mode, but he was clearly still in his regular state.
All around him were bits of flesh and corpses of the members of the Salvation Church.
The entire area looked extremely gory, but he did not care about it. Right now, he was trying to fix his body.
"System, is there something wrong in my body?" He asks while clutching his chest.
[Due to the activation of the dragon bloodline, your body is now entering a state of evolution, but your two abilities are working overtime to absorb the dragon bloodline.]
"Absorb? Shouldn't I already have absorbed it since it is inside my body?" He asks while huffing.
[Dragon bloodline is extremely potent. Nearly all of the time, absorbing them will make you transform into one of them, making you a dragonoid, half-man and half-dragon.]
He was not surprised by this. He knew that dragons were proud creatures, but they were also known for their lascivious nature.
[Right now, the dragon bloodline is being absorbed to increase the power and quality of the host's human bloodline.]
He heaves a sigh of relief. He was rather proud of being human. Sure, they had a lot of faults, but he could not deny that he was d*mn proud to be one.
"At least I can continue being human even after gaining the power of the dragon." He chuckles.
Suddenly, he sensed multiple auras approaching his location at a rapid pace, and three of them were quite powerful. One of them was actually familiar to him.
Without hesitation, he retreats. He was not going to continue to fight in his current condition.
Besides, he was quite confident in his stealth. He could mask his aura, and since he was just a bronze ranker, he could blend in with the majority of the gangs in this city.
Just after he left, twelve figures appeared. All of them had solemn expressions as they saw the carnage presented in front of them.
"He dares to massacre our loyal members!?" One of them roars, rage burns in his eyes, he punches the building nearby.
