All the bodyguards' attacks were pointless. Even though the bullets struck Zivile, they had no effect. Some of them had to fight barehanded because her tail took their weapons.
At the same time, Radmilo appeared behind the bodyguards and stabbed them with his dagger. He then pulled them into the air and crushed them against each other. All three men died instantly.
However, Radmilo and Zivile had to fight longer because more bodyguards appeared. Tyrone would take some time to notice any commotion because the house was big.
This allowed Radmilo and Zivile to finish off the bodyguards first. They would fight in groups to defeat their opponents. The first target was the person who fired the gun at Zivile.
The bodyguard tried to flee when he found out they were targeting him, but Radmilo caught up to him before he could escape. Without wasting any more time, he killed the bodyguard.
Radmilo's speed stunned all his opponents. Nevertheless, they did not give up. They opened fire on the two intruders once more.
Unfortunately, Radmilo and Zivile could evade the same as before. Furthermore, Tyrone's barrier did not affect Zivile because the man only activated special protection for humans.
The man appeared to be confident that no monsters would emerge from the dungeon to approach him. His confidence would be shattered, however, after Zivile used her seduction magic on the bodyguards.
"Drop your weapons."
The bodyguards who had been affected by the magic immediately dropped their weapons and fell to their knees. Meanwhile, those who were affected became more vigilant.
They were also terrified because they had not expected a monster to attack them today. Nonetheless, they had no time to be afraid. They needed to move fast and weaken Zivile while they waited for Tyrone to come.
"I'm sorry, but no one will save you. You have to die here today." Zivile took a stand. She then turned away from the bodyguards and sharpened her fangs.
"Shut up!" exclaimed one of the bodyguards. He pulled the trigger on his gun and aimed it at Zivile's head. However, the bullet missed its target.
"What!?"
The bodyguards were taken aback. Zivile transformed into a bigger snake and wrapped herself around their body. Her fangs pierced their skin one by one, spurting blood from their mouth. Then she bit their throat hard.
Her venom was lethal and killed them in seconds. The bodyguards began to tremble in pain and cough up blood. Their eyes turned white, and they passed out.
"This is too easy," Zivile grumbled as she let go of the bodyguards.
At the same time, Radmilo used his dagger to attack several bodyguards. They ambushed and surrounded him, firing bullets at him.
Radmilo, on the other hand, had received training to avoid all types of weapons. As a result, he could avoid all the bullets. His skin was only lightly scratched when he was too late to escape them.
While dodging the bullets, Radmilo stabbed the bodyguards to the left and right. The remaining bodyguards soon noticed he was wielding a dagger with two blades, allowing him to attack from either side.
For this reason, they quickly surrounded Radmilo from the front and back. They assumed it was his blind spot.
But still, Radmilo could move faster to escape their strategy. He shifted his position so they could not grab him from the front and back.
Before they could react, Radmilo stabbed the bodyguards on his left and right. They were dead within minutes.
"Nicely done," Radmilo said when he saw he had beaten eight people.
Meanwhile, Zivile was pleased with how easily she defeated her opponents. However, there were still a lot of bodyguards around. She wondered if they could finish them off, since she was not as strong as she was when she was in the dungeon.
Nonetheless, she decided to find out. Her back sprouted wings, and she flew above the bodyguards. She then jumped up and pounced on the heads of the bodyguards.
Their response was slow. All of them were busy killing Radmilo. As a result, Zivile was able to land on their heads without drawing attention to herself. None of them could shoot at her because she was way up in the air.
Zivile used her tail to suffocate them one by one. Blood gushed out of their bodies and covered the ground. She returned to Radmilo after defeating all the bodyguards.
"Phew... I have never killed so many people in such a short time," Zivile told while panting.
Radmilo glanced at her before returning his attention to his bloodstained dagger. "I'm the opposite. I have never killed a few people as I do now when fighting many."
Hearing that, Zivile glared immediately. If she did not miscalculate, then Radmilo had at least killed fifteen people. How many people did that guy kill in one battle versus many?
"What will we do now?" Zivile wondered because all the bodyguards stationed at the gate had died.
"Let's just wait a little longer," Radmilo said, his gaze fixed on the gate. "It's a big house, and we will have to waste our time looking for Tyrone. I'm sure he will come here because the noise is coming from the gate."
On the other hand, Tyrone had noticed the commotion because he heard gunshots. He had just finished taking a shower when he discovered someone had infiltrated his barrier. The person appeared to be overconfident because he did not care about the Power Barrier.
"Sir, please allow me to check the situation outside. You must leave this place immediately," a bodyguard said when he saw Tyrone about to leave the room. He was aware of an intruder but did nothing because he was waiting for Tyrone.
"I will see who comes, too," Tyrone refused with a smile. "I have to greet my guest, right?"
The first bodyguard motioned for the rest of the bodyguards to follow Tyrone. They were high-ranking awakeners tasked with protecting the IRO president. Their levels differed from the bodyguards stationed outside.
Moments later, Tyrone arrived on the scene. He found a group of corpses lying in front of his gate. When he turned his gaze, he met Radmilo's dagger, which was covered in blood.
Tyrone then narrowed his eyes when he saw Zivile. That woman was not a human. Her half-snake body proved that she was a monster. This both surprised and piqued his interest.
His Power Barrier had been set up to prevent beast-tamers from wielding power. Because of that, Zivile's emergence was questionable. The man with the dagger also did not appear to be a monster tamer.
"She's my pet," Radmilo explained, drawing Tyrone's attention back to him. "May I stab you as an icebreaker?"
The bodyguards behind Tyrone instantly took out their weapons and pointed them at Radmilo. However, Tyrone gave instructions to lower their weapons.
"Let's talk about your goals—"
Before Tyrone could finish his sentence, Radmilo had moved to slit his throat. The attack failed because Tyrone was able to dodge in time. Still, Radmilo's dagger managed to graze Tyrone's neck.
"Sir!" the bodyguards shouted in panic when they saw black blood coming out of Tyrone's wound. That meant Radmilo's dagger contained poison.
However, the wound was covered in an instant because Tyrone also had Poison Resistance. He had defeated many poisonous monsters to get the title.
"Why are you guys so freaked out? Have you forgotten what I went through to get to my position?" Tyrone inquired, smiling and touching his neck. He realized that if he reacted too late, the Poison Resistance would take a long time to activate.
The mysterious man in a skull mask moved at breakneck speed. Not only that, but he also wore cloak-style armor. It was the most sought-after equipment because it was lighter than standard armor.
However, due to the cloak's high price, not everyone could afford it. Nobody could produce that cloak, so the man must have had a lot of money. Or maybe he was so powerful that the system dropped the cloak on him.
"All I want to do is fight you," Radmilo said, gripping the blade of a sword pointed at him by a bodyguard. He then withdrew the blade, ignoring the blood dripping from his torn glove.
The bodyguard had no idea Radmilo would take the sword from him. Also, he never even imagined the masked man would directly slash his neck with that sword.
"But I will fight anyone who gets in my way. Therefore, you have two choices. Tell your bodyguards to be quiet or they will perish with you."
Tyrone glanced at the bodyguard who had just been killed then turned to the corpses on the ground. The masked man appeared to be very serious. He did not know where the man's confidence came from, but he had to make a choice now.
"No one moves." Tyrone gave instructions that made the bodyguards want to complain. He ignored their responses and took out a weapon from his inventory while dodging Radmilo's attack.
