When Elijah noticed shockwaves and the mana storm were getting weaker, he stopped feeding his mana to the barrier and let the other nine hunters take charge.
At the same time, he noticed Adam was moving towards the dungeon portal.
Elijah's eyes blazed with killing intent and he charged towards Adam.
But before he could reach him, his body suddenly stiffened and his agility dropped by more than forty percent.
"You Bastard.." Elijah roared out in anger and looked at Rocky who was some distance away from him.
Currently, Rocky's purple burning eyes were grey in colour and he was using his skill 'Petrifying Gaze'
---) Petrifying Gaze: Your gaze can turn living beings to stone.
Because of the power difference between Elijah and him, Rocky couldn't turn him into stone, but reducing his agility was not a problem for him.
Seeing Adam was about to reach the dungeon portal, Elijah's eyes turned red from anger. The next second he took out a Halberd from his storage ring. The Halberd was shaking and glowing in blood red light.
The moment Elijah took out the Halberd, killing intent filled the entire wilderness. The nine hunters who came with Elijah shuddered and fear flashed in their eyes. The blood flow inside their body slowed down and they felt a strange force invading their bodies, trying to control their blood. All nine of them used their mana to try to stop the invading force but realized even with the help of mana, they couldn't stop it.
Rocky and Adam were not affected by this because there was no blood in their bodies, and Elijah already seemed to know that.
"Die" Without caring about the nine hunters who were panicking, Eliajh slashed the Halberd towards Adam who was just a few metres away from the dungeon portal.
Bzzz!
When Elijah slashed, the red light around the Halberd intensified. At the same time, a dark slash, that was blazing with red and black flames went towards Adam.
"Arghh" "Arghh" - - - -
When Elijah slashed with his Halberd, nine painful screams rang out and all the nine hunters whom Elijah brought with him lost some of their blood after Elijah's attack.
The area of one kilometre suddenly turned red and black, and the smell of blood engulfed the surroundings.
Adam who was about to enter the dungeon felt like he was standing in the middle of the sea of blood and alarm bells started to ring inside his mind.
Before he could react to danger, the dark red slash that was blazing with red and black flames tore through the space and arrived just behind him.
At the last second, Adam increased the gravity around him to the maximum limit possible, changing the moving trajectory of the Halberd slash.
The Halberd slash sank down a little because of the increased gravity, and instead of severing Adam's head, it severed both of his legs.
Although this was not the result that Elijah wanted, he still sighed in relief thinking that losing both of his legs would at least stop Adam from going inside the portal.
But Elijah was greatly mistaken!
As a shadow undead, Adam didn't give a sh*t about losing his legs. Unlike normal people or monsters who would feel pain after losing their limbs, Adam just felt his body weight reduced a little.
He used gravity manipulation to decrease the gravity around him, and before his body could fall to the ground after losing his legs, he bent forward and showed his great skill of handwalking.
Elijah was stupified seeing Adam didn't react much after losing his legs and was still moving towards the dungeon using his hands.
He wanted to attack once more but
Kukdukoo!
An angry rooster call reverted throughout the wilderness and the temperature of the surroundings increased greatly.
All the hairs on Elijah's body stood up to no end and he quickly looked at Rocky whose entire black body was now covered in a strange multicoloured fire. A multicoloured flame orb was spinning in front of his mouth and powerful waves of destructive energy were coming out from it.
---) Cosmic Fire Blast (Unique Skill): The ultimate ability of the Cockatrice wyvern, it channels the power of the cosmos into a massive explosion that can obliterate anything.
Adam was just a few metres away from the dungeon portal, so Rocky's small distraction was enough for him to accomplish his goal. He pressed his hands on the ground, and using the force generated by it, jumped inside the deep red portal.
When Adam's body touched the portal, a red light flashed and he disappeared inside the portal.
Elijah also realized what happened, but before he could vent his anger, Rocky made his move and shot the Cosmic Fire Blast.
But instead of shooting it toward Elijah, Rocky shot it towards the other nine hunters whom Elijah brought with him.
Although Comic Fire Blast was one of his most powerful skills, Rocky still knew that it wouldn't be enough to take down Elijah who is an S rank hunter, so instead of wasting it on him, he decided to take down the remaining nine hunters.
Because of the backlash that all the nine hunters received when Elijah used his Halberd, all of them were still absent minded and were not able to react on time when Rocky shot the cosmic fire blast at them.
When they realised the danger of the blast and wanted to protect themselves, it was already too late.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An explosion of multicoloured cosmic fire filled the wilderness, Elijah created a blood barrier to protect himself but the barrier was not able to handle the power of the explosion and he was blasted away. He coughed out blood and crashed to the ground with some minor internal injuries.
But the other nine hunters who were targets of the cosmic fire blast were not lucky like him.
Although they tried to protect themselves, all nine of them were still reduced to ashes by the cosmic fire blast.
Elijah's blood started to boil because of anger when he saw this. Not only the base he was protecting was destroyed but all the hunters who were stationed there were also killed.
As if that wasn't enough, Adam who was just an A rank hunter successfully entered the dungeon even though he tried to stop him.
He looked at Rocky with intense hatred and a blood red aura appeared around him. The Halberd in his hand started to shake and before Rocky who was in mid-air could react
Woosh!
A blood red light flashed and Rocky's rooster head was severed. Elijah who was on the ground a moment ago appeared high in the sky holding his Halberd.
