The wind blew strong around the region of the cube tower as the group of creatures that fought with several creatures just to turn back around at the sixth floor emerged from the entrance, each holding mixture of emotions on their faces.
Some looked relieved for not needing to ascend the cube tower any longer, some looked sad for losing either comrades or friends while some seemed to be in anger for coming just to collect wounds and injuries without getting no rewards in exchange.
"It is all because of that bastard! If he would have helped us this would have not happened at all!" Vern who was holding his broken arm hissed coldly while a brief amount of pain emerged onto his face.
When the other creatures heard Vern's words many seemed to realize he was indeed right, resulting in hatred emerging in their heart like a flame that was just ignited.
"Yeah, if he would have used his power we could have avoided sustaining so many hardships and even could have reached the final floor without any of us dying!" a creature which had the body of a lion and whose upper body was full of open wounds nodded, his eyes filled with killing intent looking left and right seemingly looking for someone.
"Where is he? Where the fuck is he? I want to teach him a lesson or two before I require a refund from that Fairy guy that asked for our help!"
"Yeah, me too! I will definitely tear one or two of his limbs off! Where did he go?"
"Don't hide now bastard! Show yourself if you are a real man!"
One after another, creatures began to regain their fighting spirit in the hope they could get their revenge while completely forgetting the fact how Khal, the one they want to beat up swallowed two Ascender Stage beasts with a single gulp.
It seems the saying of 'hatred is blind; rage carries you away' is indeed accurate and these creatures are truly ignoring the fact that they are running into their own demise just because of hatred.
"I can't see him. Where is he?" Vern narrowed his eyes as he looked around, but when he saw that not only Khal was nowhere but even the two woman from his side and Astro, his complexion turned ugly.
"Don't tell me... Did they..." just as Vern and the rest could have thought for something, suddenly the space around the entrance twisted and turned white before a figure emerged wearing a silver robe and a nonchalant face.
"There you are! Now come, let this daddy teach you a lesson!" the creature with the lion body and the presence of an Ascender Stage appeared in front of Khal who seemed to be still completely oblivious to what was happening.
Or at least was, until when he saw how a fist appeared inches away from his face, ready to burst his head into chunks and brain matter!
"You are really courting death!" Khal sneered coldly as his eyes turned emotionless while his nails changed color, becoming deep green in hue!
Whoosh!
A strong breeze arose around the creature that wished to attack Khal before Khal himself emerged behind the creature and stood motionlessly while his cold gaze swept through those that wished to attack him too.
"H-Huh? W-What did you do to... me..." the humanoid lion that was ready to turn around and throw out another punch suddenly froze and watched with terror as its body began to corrode and melt, quickly turning into a pond of melted flesh and blood that had a greenish color!
"?!"
Every creature that was about to attack Khal halted dead in their tracks and their faces paled. In a flash, all the memories that transpired in the dungeon quickly appeared in their heads, forcing them to realize that what they wished to do was nothing more than suicide!
"What is the meaning of all this?" Khal narrowed his eyes coldly as he asked in a low voice, raising his hand gently and taking a step forward to show he was more than willing to start a massacre right now and there.
Silence filled the whole place and no one dared to talk, but still, all of them glanced at a single individual subconsciously, the one who was the source of all this mess; Vern.
"I see, so that's how it is." Khal nodded and without saying a word appeared before him.
"W-Wait! It was a huge misund-" Vern wished to find an excuse as he tried to avoid the attack, but unfortunately, he was unable to finish his sentence before his head was pierced by Khal's palm and corroded by its nails mysterious toxic power.
"You! How dare you!" Senior Du became enraged upon witnessing how his disciple was killed in front of his very eyes and was ready to jump at Khal when his whole body was petrified.
"You can follow him to the other side too." Khal who already appeared before Senior Du like a ghost said in an indifferent voice and swung his hand, piercing Senior Du's chest on the left side before tearing out his heart and smashing it into pieces.
"Anyone else that desires to accompany these idiots to the otherworld?" Khal asked with a nonchalant but freezing look, his cold gaze sweeping through each and every one of the creatures in front of him while completely ignoring how Senior Du's body melted into a puddle of flesh and blood!
Watching as no one talked nor moved Khal nodded with satisfaction and lowered his blood-covered hand which squeezed the old turtle's heart just now. It seems the way he killed the three was more than enough to make them understand that he was way stronger than them in every aspect and if they try to do anything funny he will definitely kill them.
As the creatures stood silently in one place in fear they will earn Khal's wrath if they either speak or move, three other figures emerged from the white portal, each of their complexions changing tremendously upon seeing the sight before them.
"What happened here? Why is there blood here?" Astro asked with a deep frown but even before he could have gotten an answer a gentle breeze blew his face and watched as Khal appeared on his side with his thumb already resting on the middle of Senior Lin's forehead!
"K-Khal?" Senior Lin's eyes widened when he felt the touch on her face and didn't know what she should do.
"Just relax.. This will be over in a second." Khal said in a calm voice and without saying anything else activated his newly acquired power, his Power Blessing!
