Leislet instinctively looked up to see what Thyrus meant with his words. She didn't feel anything weird appearing in the sky but she didn't deny the idea that the invaders had something in mind they intended to do.
However, this time, she was able to see what he meant. A very familiar flying ship appeared in the sky, darkening the whole city and covering the sun.
The ship belonged to the invaders but a few days before the invasion started, it disappeared from the sky all of a sudden. No one knew why or when that happened but they didn't feel at ease from that fact at all since that meant they had some plans they would execute and potentially end this whole world before they could even be aware of it.
Leislet's eyes squinted as she looked at a particular part of the ship where the elevator was located.
There, a silhouette could be seen going down slowly.
She couldn't see who it was clearly but she was able to recognize the person. It was that weird man that she spoke to before.
Everyone who was in the city at the time also stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the ship warily.
They were exhausted and also on the verge of giving up so seeing another enemy appear made them feel even more helpless.
It was already hard enough with the clones going rampage and destroying whatever they saw ahead of them.
Leislet was also aware of this fact and immediately warned Thryus.
"Be careful. That man is no good news."
Thyrus didn't answer as he stared at the man in front of him with a cold look.
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
As he approached the ground, the man started clapping calmly. He wasn't using a lot of strength while doing that but for some reason, he was able to make it loud enough for everyone in Lagradon to hear.
"Bravo! Truly amazing! What a show! I am truly impressed." He said with a small smile.
Thyrus didn't say anything and merely pulled one of the clones before throwing it at the man.
The corpse rolled on the ground before stopping in front of him.
"Your clones are a waste of time, really. I could beat them while sleeping on my stomach." He said casually.
It was a clear provocation from Thyrus to make the man become angry and attack. But, instead, what he got was a simple chuckle along with a wide smile.
"Oh really? I thought they were good enough to destroy this planet. I guess clones are clones in the end. They are way too weak compared to the original." He replied as he scratched his cleanly shaved face with a nod.
Thyrus didn't understand what he meant by that so he just ignored it completely. He didn't want to hurt his brain by overthinking. Beating up this man was his goal for now.
Then, the man kicked the clone away and started walking closer and closer.
"You know. In my country, when something inconvenient happens, you know what we do?"
Thyrus also started walking toward the man casually.
Leislet was about to call for him since what he was doing was basically akin to approaching imminent death with his own legs.
But, most likely, Thyrus would've never accepted her request since his pride was too big for him to acknowledge that this man could kill him.
The man then continued.
"We just either ignore that inconvenient thing or…We destroy it. Which choice do you think I should take at this moment?" He asked again.
"You know, man. You talk too much, is this also a habit back in your country?" Thyrus then summoned his blood manipulation ability.
Gallons of blood appeared and surrounded Thyrus like a giant red snake.
"I wanted to give you some time to pray before I send you to your grave but I guess that's pointless." The man said before vanishing from where he was standing.
Thyrus's eyes moved along with the man but couldn't keep up with his speed.
*BOOOM*
Suddenly, a loud impact reached Thyrus from behind.
He looked back to see the man standing there with his fist hitting the blood that created a barrier, covering Thyrus's back.
"Pretty sturdy." The man muttered.
Then, he vanished again and reappeared in another direction sending another punch that poked a hole in the blood barrier.
Thyrus knew that he couldn't keep up with his speed wise so he had already changed his tactic. He separated a portion of the blood barrier before making it attack the enemy.
The blood spear immediately did what he wanted and attacked swiftly.
The man looked at the spear that was following him left and right without any sign of stopping. However, he didn't really feel bothered at all.
He just kept moving left and right casually, avoiding it easily each time.
"Are you not going to use your ability? I really don't want to make you use it by force since that sounds like a pain in the ass."
"Heheh. You already saw through that. I see, I see. However, you are mistaken about something."
The man said before changing his expression to that of a grim look.
"You insects aren't worthy of seeing my true powers. Now, let's end this stupid skimmirish."
The man then halted his movements and looked at the blood spear that reached him before doing something totally unexpected.
He extended his hand toward the spear. Thyrus thought this man suddenly turned stupid and did something that would kill him. However, instead of an impact, the spear stopped moving the moment it touched the man's palm.
Thyrus was quite surprised at the sight and tried to control the blood spear to come back. But, the spear didn't seem to be under his control anymore as it didn't move at all.
"Don't even try to get it back. This small toy is already mine." The man said as he grabbed the spear and started throwing it in the air as if it was a small toy for kids.
He then inspected the spear left and right.
"This isn't normal blood as I expected. It's enhanced by some kind of power." He muttered before looking back at Thryus.
He wanted to ask him a question but refrained from doing so and decided to just forget about it.
'I should end this now. I have to end the invasion and settle the ships here.' He thought to himself.
Then, without saying anything, he clenched his fist and threw the spear casually. However, that casual throw was so strong that it took Thyrus by surprise since the weapon reached him before he could even sense its movement.
'Damn. This is fast.' He thought as he tilted his neck at the last moment, barely evading the attack. However, the spear still scratched his cheek before passing.
Thyrus had a shocked expression that had a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He then touched his cheek and then looked at his fingertips.
There, he saw something that he didn't see in a while. It was blood.
'When was the last time I saw my own blood? Umm, I can't remember. I guess it's not important at the moment. I have to become serious now.' He pondered quietly.
"You are the first one to injure me in almost 30 years. I am very impressed."
The man smiled and replied.
"You might as well say that I will be the first one to break every bone in your body."
Then, he extended his hand and the spear that went somewhere came back rushing toward him.
He then grabbed it and threw it back at Thyrus with even more speed.
"Try this one." He said.
