Chapter 345 Killing someone with a single strike?
When Seraphina descended to Earth, her strength was not merely halved,she lacked magical artifacts, and her physical prowess was greatly diminished compared to her past. As a descendant of the hydra and dragon, she possessed an awe-inspiring huge body and formidable abilities. However, when she integrated into the human world, these remarkable traits no longer existed.
All of these were gone.
Her ability to fight Zoey to a standstill previously was due to her powerful mental strength and unique attack methods. At that time, the energy fields on Earth were fully open, with abundant energy, allowing her to fully utilize her abilities.
But now,her current true strength is at most just having entered the Demi-God level.
The Underworld Warriors accompanying Evelyn, although they also suffered a loss in strength after arriving on Earth, each possessed at least the power of an advanced Soulmancer,there are still many at the Demi-God level.Evelyn herself was a genuine advanced Soulmancer at her peak, on the verge of reaching Demi-God level.
Surrounded by such a group and with Evelyn issuing a kill order, Seraphina truly didn't know how she could survive.
"Sofia, I'm sorry, this time I might really get you killed," Seraphina said after apologizing to Sofia. Despite her seductive appearance, she was incredibly resolute. Facing the encirclement, she laughed loudly, "I, Seraphina, came to the human world because I couldn't kneel. Not even the gods of the Divine Realm could make me submit. You, an advanced Soulmancer, thinking of making me your subordinate, is simply a joke."
In the Divine Realm, Seraphina could annihilate an advanced Soulmancer with a wave of her hand.
Now, it was like an eagle with broken wings, but she was prepared for death!
Evelyn slowly turned around, not even glancing at her. Her subordinates were fully capable of killing Seraphina.
Elsewhere, William borrowed a hunting knife from Steven and then disappeared into the night.
Just when Evelyn's demi-god subordinate was about to fatally strike Seraphina, a chubby man appeared in everyone's sight.
"Why don't we all give me some face and spare this lady?" William used an illusion to make everyone think he was Steven from the 13th Bureau.
Illusions were merely mental tricks, creating hallucinations and altering people's perceptions of what they saw.
When William used the illusion, they thought they saw Steven, and nobody could see through William's true identity.
Unless someone's mental strength was stronger than William's.
But that was clearly impossible.
"Director Garcia?" Evelyn was familiar with Steven. Now as a Soulmancer, she naturally had knowledge of the 13th Bureau. With a calm and composed demeanor, she said, "Director Garcia, this matter is not something you can handle."
William smiled, "What if I insist on intervening?"
"Then your corpse can stay here too." Evelyn wasn't going to concern herself with such matters. She had already developed enmity with Seraphina today, and not killing her could be akin to releasing a tiger back to the mountain.
Who knew if Seraphina might become stronger in the future?
The 13th Bureau had indeed made a name for itself during the day, but Evelyn believed that neither William nor Alice, considering their past relationships, would seriously harm her.
She also used her divine sense to scan the surroundings. Apart from Steven, there was no one else. As long as she finished the battle quickly and destroyed the evidence, no one could do anything to her.
"Let's try!" William thought that the day's events would have made Evelyn more cautious. He had known Seraphina and had promised to help her escape Sofia's body, so he couldn't let her just be killed by Evelyn.
What he didn't expect was that Evelyn, since Nathaniel's death, had undergone a drastic change in personality, viewing human life as insignificant.
"A peak mid-level Soulmancer?" One of the Underworld Warriors sneered, not understanding where this chubby man got the courage to speak such words.
Try what?
What's there to try?
Both of them had to die!
Hades' subordinates, having been on Earth for some time, had consolidated their strength. Each one of them possessed the power of an advanced Soulmancer, especially their secret techniques, which were unpredictable and hard to defend against.
Just as William finished speaking, a shadow appeared silently behind him like a ghost. The Underworld Warrior, wielding a sharp blade, was about to slit his throat.
"Fat man! Be careful!" Seraphina reacted and hurriedly shouted at William.
She too couldn't see William's true form and simply addressed him as the 'fat man'.
The next moment…
The Underworld Warrior who appeared behind William slowly fell to the ground.
William had nonchalantly slit his throat with the simplest of movements.
In his actions, William's usual concern was how to avoid killing people or at least keep the commotion minimal.
Now, with a hunting knife in his hand and no intention of sparing lives, the situation was different.
Anyone who dared to make a move today would have to die!
As for Evelyn...
If she made a move, William felt that he would indeed spare her life.
Whether it was because of Morgana, Nathaniel, or the Evelyn of the past, William felt that he should spare her.
After all, was he still unable to be completely heartless?
William's seemingly ordinary strike with the knife astonished everyone present.
The people there were not weak and could see how eerily the Underworld Warrior had appeared, possessing the strength of a peak advanced Soulmancer.
To be assassinated using a secret technique and then cut down in one stroke was truly surprising.
"Do you want to continue?" William flicked the blood off his knife and slowly walked over to Seraphina.
Another Underworld Warrior made a move.
Hundreds of poisoned needles shot out at incredible speed, almost impossible to avoid.
William raised his hand with a slash!
In an instant, the needles were dispersed by an arcane pulse, and several needles even rebounded back, striking the Underworld Warrior.
The next moment, William's knife was plunged into the warrior's chest.
Killing people?
Hasn't William killed enough people in his life?
Anyone who made a move against him was a legitimate target.
That was his standard for killing.
In everyone's eyes, this amiable-looking chubby man had an invincible knife technique.
This was no longer a matter of strength level.
Evelyn even felt that she couldn't fully comprehend Steven's strength.
Killing someone with a single strike?
"I didn't expect Director Garcia's knife skills to be so excellent!" Evelyn's face remained largely expressionless. The death of two of her subordinates was met with just a light comment, "Since you, Director Garcia, want to protect her, then take her with you."
Face?
Evelyn didn't need to vie for such things, as she wasn't even sure if she could withstand a single strike from him.
"Then, thank you very much!" William squinted at Evelyn. Had this woman really inherited all of Morgana's memories?
Morgana, in her time, was also such a calculating person.
"Let's go!" William slowly turned around, and Seraphina quickly followed.
"Thank you, Director Garcia," said Seraphina. "I owe you one today."
William also took the opportunity to say, "Have you considered working with our 13th Bureau?"
"Not for now, I still have things to find."
Seraphina declined outright. After they had walked a bit further, she parted ways with William.
She was a stubborn person too. William, in the guise of Steven, had saved her life, but she wasn't about to rely on others for protection to survive. As long as she was careful in the future and didn't run into Evelyn's group again, she should be fine.
