Chapter 417 Slink, Slink, Wicked Star!
Villain Ch 417. Slink, Slink, Wicked Star!
Allen used his Shadow Step skill. His body seemed to dissolve into a billowing cloud of inky black smoke, vanishing from his original position. In the blink of an eye, he reemerged to the group.
Allen's chosen target was the priest, and he materialized just behind the healer with uncanny precision. It was a rule he had honed through countless battles: when engaging an enemy group, prioritize eliminating either the healer or the ranged damage dealers based on the situation. In this particular skirmish, with the knight engrossed in tanking the Ghost Knights, dispatching the healer was the most strategic move.
Once Allen materialized, a malevolent grin curled on his lips. His approach was swift and silent, giving the priest no time to react. In a low, sinister tone, he began to sing, his voice taking on a chilling quality that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
"Slink, slink, wicked star," Allen sang, his words dripping with malevolence. "In the night, you roam so far. Under shadows, cold and deep. Where the devil's secrets keep."
The melody he sang was a warped version of the familiar children's nursery rhyme, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." However, the lyrics he had crafted were anything but innocent.
The priest, completely caught off guard by Allen's sinister nursery rhyme and unexpected presence, felt a wave of terror wash over him. His eyes widened with shock and dread as he turned around, trembling with fear. His gaze locked onto the Devil Emperor, who had seemingly materialized out of thin air right behind him.
Before the priest could utter a word, a malevolent grin spread across Allen's face. The grin was accompanied by a chilling, ghostly mimicry of "Boo!" that sent a shiver down the priest's spine. But it was too late. Allen acted swiftly.
In a single fluid motion, he lunged forward and thrust his darkened sword deep into the priest's chest, the blade piercing through until it found its mark—his heart. The priest's eyes widened in sheer agony and shock as the deadly strike struck true, his life quickly fading away. It was a ruthless and swift execution that left no room for mercy.

Blood stained Allen's hand and sword as he swiftly withdrew the weapon from the fallen priest's chest. There was no pause for hesitation. With a savage determination, he raised his blade high and swung it in a deadly arc aimed at the priest's head.

In a gruesome display, the priest's head was severed from his body, rolling to a gruesome stop at the feet of his startled companions. The lifeless corpse crumpled to the ground, and the chilling spectacle drew the horrified attention of the other players.
Gasps of shock escaped their lips as they locked eyes with the malevolent figure that stood before them—the Devil Emperor. The realization came too late for them, and they were now faced with a relentless foe whose ruthlessness knew no bounds.
With a relentless fury, Allen lunged at the remaining players, his bloodied sword gleaming with menace. He had already claimed the life of the priest, and now he sought to eliminate the rest of the group, starting with the most vulnerable—the ranged DPS.
His blade slashed through the air with deadly precision, targeting the ranged attacker first. The player, caught off guard and non suitable for close combat, had little chance to defend themselves. Allen's strike was swift and merciless, delivering a fatal blow.
The first one was the magic scholar. As the scholar began to incant a spell, Allen's blade found its mark, piercing the scholar's hand and disrupting the spellcasting. With a cruel twist, Allen lifted the magic scholar off the ground, choking the life out of him.
However, before he could deliver the finishing blow, a hail of arrows descended upon him. Thinking quickly, Allen used the magic scholar's body as a macabre shield, allowing the arrows to pierce the scholar's form instead of himself. It was a gruesome and calculated move that demonstrated Allen's tactical cunning in the heat of battle.

Allen swiftly put an end to the magic scholar by hurling the lifeless body towards the hunter. The two bodies collided in a gruesome tangle and crashed to the ground, a grotesque tableau of death.
Before the hunter could even begin to recover from the impact, Allen pounced with relentless ferocity. His sword descended like a dark omen, plunging through the hunter's eye and driving it into the unforgiving earth below. It was a brutal and efficient execution, marking the hunter as the next victim of Allen's merciless rampage.

The warrior lunged at Allen, his massive sword swung horizontally with deadly intent. However, Allen's agility and expertise came into play once more. With a graceful flick of his wings, he effortlessly dodged the warrior's attack, the sword slicing through empty air.
Seizing the opportunity, Allen acted swiftly. He hurled his sword like a dark projectile, and it found its mark, piercing deep into the warrior's shoulder. A pained groan escaped the warrior as he staggered backward, clutching at the blade lodged in his flesh.
Closing the distance in a heartbeat, Allen lunged at the wounded warrior, his own sword clenched firmly in his grasp. With a swift and merciless motion, he pulled his blade horizontally, cleaving through the warrior's body from shoulder to neck in a gruesome and fatal strike.
The warrior's lifeless form crumpled to the ground, and Allen finished the grim spectacle by delivering a final kick to the lifeless body

Next, Allen's attention was drawn to the desperate knight who had been trying to escape the relentless onslaught. The knight's situation was dire, surrounded by a horde of Ghost Knights, and without the protective barrier of a healer, he faced overwhelming odds.
Striding purposefully toward the beleaguered knight, Allen closed the gap with ruthless determination. Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed his Telekinesis Blast. The knight's body was sent hurtling through the air like a ragdoll, before crashing violently to the unforgiving ground.

Just as Allen was poised to seek out his next target in the eerie corridors of the soldier's headquarters, his senses tingled with anticipation. From the end of the dimly lit passageway, a figure emerged—Elio. His expression was a mixture of surprise and disbelief, his initial intention to gather a mob of monsters had led him to an unexpected encounter with the infamous Devil Emperor.
Elio's eyes widened in realization as he took in the sight. The tension in the air was palpable, and the stage was set for a fateful confrontation between two formidable players in the game.
