Hoo…
Sand whipped against the black robe. Shino, his eyes blood-red, stood before the seal. “Why should I help him? Your concerns are irrelevant.”
Do you want him to watch his last relative in this world be erased?
“If you leave, I won’t kill unnecessarily.”
“If you don’t leave, I’ll fight to the death.”
Shino’s eyes showed no hesitation. He could already see that huge monster.
It was Chino.
“I think I’m ready to see you,” he said, his voice low, but with unwavering resolve. He had prepared himself for this. He knew what he had to do.
Naira Sorkin took a deep breath. He had fought Shino once before. Back then, his mental strength was only at the beginner level.
And at that time, he was overwhelmed by Shino, almost losing his life.
Because Shino was extremely unpredictable. He could not only use Faerûn · Baji’s Blood Gathering but also 008 True Ancestor’s Blood Eruption.
Although the power of the Blood Eruption was much weaker, it was still fatal to Naira Sorkin.
Since then, Naira Sorkin has always worn several pieces of Mithril. He'd learned his lesson. He wouldn't be caught off guard again.
“I’m not being merciful,” he muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving Shino. He knew this fight would be a tough one. He’d prepared himself. He was ready to fight to the death.
Then, Naira Sorkin waved his hand and activated his mental power. Four Mithril swords hovered around him.
It felt like a scene from a traditional wuxia novel.
Naira Sorkin instantly launched the Mithril swords at Shino!
But at this moment, Shino suddenly dissolved, his blood surging toward Naira Sorkin!
Blood Gathering!
Naira Sorkin leaped into the air, then swung his hand, unleashing a violent gust of wind towards the ground!
“Wind, tear it apart!” He roared, his voice echoing through the desert. The power of the wind was immense, a force of nature unleashed at his will.
Boom!
The wind howled from his palm, instantly scattering Shino’s blood!
But at this moment, the scattered blood surged toward the sky, converging into a blood-red figure that charged towards Naira Sorkin!
Seeing this, Naira Sorkin raised his hands above his head, and the four Mithril swords rose with him!
“Cut!”
Swish, swish, swish!
The four Mithril swords pierced towards Shino!
Although Shino dodged, he was still hit in the arm by one of the swords!
Splat!
Blood gushed out. The wound instantly turned black and rotten!
Shino gritted his teeth, and blood pillars erupted wildly from his back!

Seeing this, Naira Sorkin waved his hand!
Freeze, freeze it!
Crack!
Several blood pillars, affected by the cold, instantly froze!
At the same time, Naira Sorkin pushed forward, exerting force and pushing Shino to the ground!
Bang!
Shino’s back hit the ground, slamming into a sheet of metal. He felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on him!
And at that moment, Naira Sorkin waved his hand, controlling the four swords to pierce through Shino’s limbs!
Splat, splat, splat, splat!
“Aaah!!”
Shino screamed. Mithril entered his body. Black smoke started rising from his limbs!
Naira Sorkin descended from the sky. “I don’t know why you’re fighting for those Fish-Men, but I have people waiting for me. So please, be quiet.” His voice was calm, devoid of emotion.
A Mithril sword appeared behind Naira Sorkin.
He controlled the Mithril sword, hovering it over Shino’s chest!
But at that moment, Shino suddenly exploded with power!
“Aaah!!”
Splat, splat!
He ripped off the flesh from his legs and arms, transforming his arms into two blood blades, slashing at Naira Sorkin!
Naira Sorkin was stunned. To endure the pain of Mithril entering his body and ripping off his limbs…this guy!
No wonder his mental strength was so strong.
Without any mental training, Shino’s mental strength surpassed human limits, even reaching the beginner level of a mage. This was truly unimaginable.
But unfortunately, he didn’t know how to use this mental strength effectively. It was raw, untamed power, lacking refinement and control. He was fighting on sheer will alone.
Naira Sorkin spread his hands. “Fire, burn him!”
Hoo!
A jet of flame shot out, instantly engulfing Shino’s body!
At the same time, Naira Sorkin waved his hand, controlling the four swords to pierce Shino from above!
Seeing this, Naira Sorkin took a deep breath and began searching for the sealed entrance.
But at this moment, the blackened Shino struggled to get up again!
“Not… over…” He gasped, his voice barely a whisper, his body wracked with pain. His will to survive, however, was unwavering, his determination fueled by desperation. He would not give up. He would not yield.
Naira Sorkin’s eyes were cold. “You’re really… hard to kill.”
Then, Naira Sorkin waved his hand. Five Mithril swords shot out, instantly piercing Shino’s blackened body!
Splat, splat, splat!
Shino’s heart and body were pierced, but he dragged his mangled body forward several steps before collapsing!
Naira Sorkin pulled out a Mithril sword. But at that moment, a wave of cold air suddenly came from behind him!
Naira Sorkin instantly turned around. He saw an enormous, wet figure suddenly standing behind him!
“Damn it!”
After dealing with the Right Hand soldiers and some difficult monsters, Chino had instantly arrived!
Naira Sorkin tried to move Chino, but he couldn’t budge him!
Realizing this, Naira Sorkin quickly exerted a tremendous force on himself, propelling himself away!
But Chino’s movements were incredibly fast. He grabbed Naira Sorkin before he could get away!
“Where do you think you’re going?” Chino’s voice rumbled, a chilling growl that sent shivers down Naira Sorkin’s spine.
Chino suddenly exerted force, and Naira Sorkin’s pupils dilated. His entire body was crushed by an immense force!
“Aaah!!” A scream of pure agony tore through the air.
Looking at Naira Sorkin’s pained expression, Chino slowed his movements. “I’ll kill you the way you killed him. But before that, I won’t let you die easily,”
Then, Chino’s gaze instantly shifted to his back.
At the same time, a voice echoed through the desert, reaching the ears of all the Fish-Men and Priests.
“No one can leave this place today.” The voice was deep, resonating with an authority that brooked no argument.
The Fish-Men received their orders and began attacking the remaining survivors!
The Right Hand, decimated by Chino, had less than a hundred survivors. They were continuously expending their mental strength, resisting the Fish-Men’s attacks!
“This isn’t sustainable!” One of the soldiers yelled, his voice tight with desperation.
“Doesn’t the Chief have any instructions?!” Another voice cried out, their tone laced with panic. They needed guidance, a strategy, a plan.
...
In the helicopter.
Reinhard watched the drone footage and felt restless.
“Chief, if you have any more trump cards, use them quickly. It might be too late,” he urged, his voice tight with anxiety. The situation was deteriorating rapidly.
If you don’t have a trump card, I’m leaving!
The situation outside was worsening. At this rate, the helicopters wouldn’t even be able to take off!
He might as well escape while he still can!
“Waiting,” Zero said calmly, his gaze fixed on the screen. He hadn’t lost his composure. He was in control. He had a plan.
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
This was his eleventh cigarette.
Reinhard felt a burning sensation. He had no time to smoke!
No, he couldn’t wait any longer.
He had to run!
Just as Reinhard was about to stand up, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky!
“Roar—!!”
Zero crushed his cigarette. “It’s here.” His voice was devoid of emotion, but a hint of anticipation, or perhaps excitement, flickered in his eyes.
It’s here?
What’s here?
Just as Reinhard was wondering, a massive white figure suddenly appeared on the helicopter screen!
It was a… dragon?
Reinhard’s eyes widened. He saw a four-legged, five-clawed white dragon instantly appearing in the sky!
And along with it, a large cloud of fog!
