Chapter 146
[Soul Reaping Slash]!
Raven used her strongest attack from the start . Her two daggers gleamed in an ominous light and criss-crossed towards Christian's back .
Christian paled . Even as a ninth-layer practitioner, he knew he would die if he receives such an attack . He had the feeling that even a scratch was enough to claim his life .
But just when the daggers were about to take his life, a ring on his finger flashed .
Miraculous, Christian vanished only to reappear three meters away .
A teleportation ring!
A trace of disappointment appeared on Raven's eyes, but it faded in the next second . She did not dwell on her failed assassination and instead tried to make the best of the current situation .
Shadows surged from her feet, extending to each corner of the second underground floor . Before the others could react to her actions, her figure faded into the shadows, reappearing in the back of another vice-leader .
"Careful!" Christian, the only one that managed to follow her movements, bellowed . But the vice-leader was unable to understand the meaning of his shout . In an instant, a dagger had sliced his throat and another had pierced his chest .
"Arggggghhhhhh!!!" Christian cried in rage . He filled his sword with mana and sprinted towards Raven .
But Raven figure seemed to fuse with the shadows . The greatsword only managed to hit an afterimage and Raven was already behind another seventh-layer vice-leader .
One stab, one slash, and another vice-leader was dead .
Only now, the other three vice-leaders reacted .
"Impossible!" Norma shouted, her face pale with fear . In just an instant, they went from being the hunters to being the hunted .
Christian's expression turned ugly . The short exchange between Raven and him was enough for him to determine that he was the weaker one of them . Furthermore, Raven was an assassin . She only needed a distraction from his part to take his life .
Instantly, he decided on his next course of action .
"Retreat!" He shouted to the remaining vice-leaders and charged towards an exit without thinking twice .
But the next second, he was forced to stop his movements .
A dagger had appeared in front of him .
*Clank!*
Christian used his greatsword to deflect the blow . He then saw a petite girl using the recoil of the attack to appear between him and the exit .
"… You will stay . " She said with an indifferent expression .
Christian's expression darkened .
He could hear the sound of footsteps coming from the first floor . In at most a few seconds, Marana and Cline would arrive here .
By then, escaping would be a pipe dream .
Looking around, he realized that his other vice-leaders had also been stopped . Norma had been stopped by Akilah, and the other two were stopped by Akilah's men at the cost of their lives .
At the current rate, Blood Night was going to be wiped out tonight .
Christian's eyes turned bloodshot .
"You think you can stop me, little slut!"
A wave of mana exploded from his body . The immense pressure coming from him forced many of the men around to stop their fights and retreat in fear of being implicated .
Christian's aura surged out, clashing against the shadows in the surroundings . The mana in his greatsword lit up the surroundings, burning the shadows into cinders .
Christian then kicked the ground .
And his body reappeared in front of Raven with his sword raised high .
Ultimate Sword, [God-Killing Slash]!
Christian's strongest attack .
*BOOOMMMM!!!*
"Raven!" Akilah panicked .
The floor trembled . Debris fell from the roof, and a curtain of dust clouded Christian and Raven's situation . All the people on the floor stopped to see the result of their clash .
But when the dust cleared, their mouths widened in shock .
