-----------------------------

Damien looked at his right hand that was injured because of Aiden's previous attack and then looked back at Him who was just standing there waiting for him to do anything.

Aiden: "What are you doing standing there and just looking at me?? Are you so shocked by my power that you can't even say a word or move? did cat get your tongue?".

Damien who heard that couldn't feel anything but mockery in those words but he didn't do anything or got angry at all. On the contrary, Damien started laughing at Aiden's words.

"Hahahahaha No, Not at all. You see, It's just been so long since I had a good fight and that made me show all kind of emotions and fight diffrently from how I usually fight. always thought I was stronger compared to all the weaklings of this era but it seems like I was wrong. When I go back to HQ, I need to go train again and become stronger and stronger just like in the past. I really need to thank you Aiden because now I know what I need to do.....".

*Swoosh* *Pang* *Boom*

Aiden didn't let Damien continue his words as he immediately punched him in the face on his left side. A little shockwave emanated from the place they were standing on but nothing happened as Damien was completely fine.

The only thing that happened to him was him having some blood on his mouth. Damien started turning his neck back to his position and going against Aiden fist and he then gripped it with his right hand that was healed now and even more powerful.

"Aiden....as thanks for reminding me of an old lesson I forgot years ago, I'll let this Island be the place where you will rest forever and if you can survive this, then you shall live today".

Aiden: "What are....."

*Pang* *Boooooommmm*

Aiden who had his left hand held by Damien tried to free himself but then Damien freed him and then punched him in the stomach. The power behind that attack was very powerful and made Aiden fly a little back but he then regained himself back as he tried to go back and attack Damien

Damien flew in the sky and then stopped at a certain distance away from the island. The darkness around him transforming and shaping itself into the form of Spear. There were tens of thousands of those dark spears and what was more terrifying is that each spear was infused with spear intent which showed that Damien reached a very high Stage in Spear intent.

"Try and take all of these spears and let's see if u can survive. thirty Thousand Abyssal Dark spear".

*Woosh Woosh Woosh Woosh*

All the spears launched themselves towards Aiden at the same time. The dark spears were like black rain that covered all the sky. Dian Long and Charles saw the power behind that attack and feared for Aiden safety and that he might get seriously injured this time.

Dian Long: "If you only had our bodies like in the past. This would've never happened if the three of us battled against him. We could've easily finished him".

Charles: "Unfortunately, seems like we are nothing more than ghosts of the past and the world won't let us belong to this era".

Charles then smiled as he thought about Aiden's personality and said in his mind. 'Though I don't think that Aiden will let us participate in the battle even if we had our bodies. His pride won't let him do that'.

Dian Long: "Look. It seems that the rain of spears has finally stopped". As Dian Long and Charles looked at the center of the area where the spears were previously raining on Aiden, a whole pillar of smoke raised in the sky. Aiden who appeared out of the smoke looked injured but didn't have any severe injuries.

*Clap clap*.

"Congratulations Aiden. Even if you can only use a fragment of Zerafill's power, you're still able to deal with my attack easily. As I said earlier, you will live this time and I won't attack you anymore".

Aiden: "It seems like you got something wrong in your head. I will make sure to put you out of your misery and let you die without suffering anymore".

Damien: "Your sense of humor is really good but unfortunately I can't play with you anymore since I'm sure that Tina must have finished the job I assigned to her already".

The moment Damien finished his words, the ground started shaking and a huge earthquake hit the whole island. Aiden didn't understand what was happening but he then noticed something weird as the Magic Tower started losing its blue luster. Aiden then started thinking about what Riss said and he then looked at him as he noticed him smiling and waiting for Aiden to say anything.

Aiden: "What did you do?"

Damien: "Nothing. Remember, I was fighting to this whole time".

Aiden: "Seems like I need to use force again to get those answers out of your mouth with force".

"I would like to play with you more Aiden but I've already fulfilled what I came her to do I don't want to waste anymore time

*Woosh*

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of Damien. The person was a woman who seemed to be in her twenties. She had deep black hair short on one side while reaching her neck on another side. She had deep black eyes and two beauty marks under her left eye. Aiden also noticed the tattoo on her waist that looked like an eastern dragon.

Aiden looked at the short sword she was holding together with a solver Kunai. She also has Riss spear on her back as it seemed that she brought it from where he left it when she came here.

Aiden then looked at her hand and saw the red ring who he recognized as the previous ring the assassin he fought last night wore. Aiden who saw her face who looked like Chinese people understood that she must have been from the east region of the western continent.

Aiden: "So it's you again. If I knew that you were this beautiful, I would've gone a little easy on you because no matter what, It would sadden me to see a face like that injured".

"...."

The woman didn't care about Aiden at all as she looked at Damien and then told him with an unemotional face, "Young master Damien. I have done the assignment you gave me. I have acquired the magic item you asked and destroyed all the formations so we can go right now".

"Ohhh....well done Tina. I always knew I can count on you".

"Of course young master".

"Argh....don't call me that. Just call me Damien".

"No. Young master will always stay young master".

".....Sigh, okay. We will talk about this when we go back".

Aiden, Dian Long, Charles didn't say anything and just stared at their stupid interaction, "....."

Damien then looked back at the three and he then said to them with a sarcastic tone and disdain. "Seems that even If I don't kill you, you will die eventually. I hope you survive this".

Tina who is beside Riss suddenly got out of her spatial ring a scroll. Tina didn't waste time as she opened the scroll and blue light started illuminating a little around where Riss and Tina were standing. Dian Long who saw the scroll instantly recognized it and then said to Aiden the true nature of the scroll.

Dian Long: "Be careful. It's a teleportation scroll. They must have done something bad here and want to get out of this island"

Aiden: "Hmph. So he's escaping and leaving his goons and mignons to die here".

Damien: "Well, the other two guild masters were killed by your friends and all the other members are just low and mid-level members. You can find them anywhere so I only feel sad about the guild masters. Oh well, we can easily replace those two as they were lower numbers. It'll be a problem if the wolf survives but it won't matter that much. We'll just send someone after him".

Damien was right after all. Rei was killed by Konstantin while Dario was finished earlier by Hu Zhao who defeated him easily. As for the other members, they were easily dealt with because of the presence of the members of the 12 chairmen from adventurers Adratram adventurers guild branch.

Damien: "Okay then. I should say goodbye to all of you and stay till the end especially for Charles. After all, we were once opposing each other as great war generals but seems that won't happen. At least I saw you one last time and that was enough. Aiden, Looks like I also need to find a way to bring your true self back otherwise it'll be annoying to have you interfere in my plans assuming you'll survive what comes next of course.".

"..."

*Woooshhhh*.

Aiden appeared in front of Damien and Tina as he held his Axe and swung it towards the scroll to stop Tina from using it but he was a second too late from that as Damien disappeared together with Tina and left Aiden some few words.

Damien: "Well....bye bye Aiden".

-----------------------------

Aiden looked at the place where Damien and Tina were standing earlier as it became now just thin air. He then looked at Dian Long and Charles but he then noticed something weird happening to Charles.

Charles spirit's lower body started disintegrating very slowly. (Like Infinity war Thanos snap but very slowly). Aiden who saw that couldn't understand what was happening and he then looked at him waiting for an explanation. Charles who looked at Aiden's eyes just sighed and said to him.

"Don't be that surprised. It was just a matter of time before I disappear. It seems that Damien stole the energy source of the magic tower and the whole island that the original Me used to maintain this floating".

"... Wait, what did you say? That means...."

"Yes looking at the whole situation, I would say that we have 30 minutes before the island starts falling and going down to the sea".
