The glass used to contain them was clearly robust, at least as strong as Glathrium if not stronger. As such, it came as a real shock, when the humanoid beast that Mona had brought along, had managed to tackle Agent 3 directly out of the window, breaking through as if it had been normal glass.

'Did I weaken it enough with my punch?' Logan wondered. 'No, the glass still should have been plenty strong on his side, yet he broke it with ease.'

Logan was one of the few people who actually knew who and what was hidden inside the armour. Ignoring the 'how' of the matter, the glass breaking was actually good news for the rest of them. The smoke started to leave the container as it escaped and dispersed into the air. Those that had been affected by the smoke, though, continued to sleep. As for how long, it would depend on their own constitution, most likely.

Those who saw the glass break were now concerned about two things. Immediately, they could hear a great noise, resembling the sounds of fighting. It seemed the glass container had also been quite soundproof, as for the other thing they had to keep in mind, it was Agent 3.

However, they were distracted because when they peeked their heads out, they could see an enormous number of green coloured figures. At the moment, the vampires were fighting off the horde of Pure Beasts, using everything they could, and they had somewhat cleared an area around them.

It was apparent that they had already killed quite a few of the strange beasts, as their bodies could be seen piled on top of each other.

"My word…what is all of this?" Owen couldn't help but let out. Even he had never expected to see such a scene. Trying to sense their energy, Leo could tell that all of these things were just like Agent 3. The source of red energy was different, and the ones that were fighting out there didn't have the power of Qi, yet he could tell that the others were struggling.

'Where is Chris? If he left his other Agent here, he shouldn't be too far?' Leo thought as he tried to sense him, but before he could even try to locate and track him down, he could see another problem coming towards them.The issue that the vampires were dealing with, was soon becoming theirs as well. The green coloured beasts created that were at the edge of the stadium had also noticed the shattering glass. Turning their heads, they headed over to the 'human group.

"The others aren't waking up!" Abdul shouted. "We have to protect them!"

They couldn't agree more, nearly all of them left the glass container. They could see the Pure Beasts climbing on top of the stage, while Abdul remained in the glass container, drawing his bow and quickly aiming at them.

He pulled on the string of the weapon without using an arrow. However, once he had let go, it struck one of the beasts who had just made it to the top of the stands where the others were. It immediately fell as blood came out from its chest.

Abdul, was a user of the wind ability, and he was a strong one at that. Putting his ability with his good beast weapon, he was quite the dangerous fighter, he just hadn't been able to show it off due to him losing to one of the vampires from before.

Still, on top of the Pure Beasts that were coming towards them, there was another figure that had stood up from the ground. It was a large man wearing armour. He looked around as if he was looking for something, and soon after, Agent 3 stood there. Now out of the smoke, his figure looked even more menacing.

The first thing the Pure agent did was attempt to punch the one who had grabbed him. The other figure reacted by summoning out a type of large shield. It was mainly black, with the outside covered in a strange white material. On a closer look, it looked to have been made out of bones, but they were unsure if that was the case or not.

The shield took the strong blow, and even then the punch didn't seem to affect him as much as the others. Pushing forward, he had even pushed back Agent 3 slightly.

'That…thing… it was able to take the strong blow that I couldn't?' Sach was baffled as he witnessed it. Apparently there had been a hidden monster among all of them. Still, there were some strange actions, since the figure seemed to be more bothered about whatever it was looking for than the fight.

After blocking one bunch, Agent 3 started to punch the shield in quick succession. With this, it looked like the blows were getting through as they were being pushed back into the stands. Just then as well, one of the beasts kept and looked like it was going after the figure, but before it reached. It was zapped with lighting.

"Protect the big guy!" Owen shouted.

The others seemed to agree as they were already moving in front of him. Those that were still conscious had formed a type of circle. They also wanted to protect the glass container slightly above, as well as the one fighting. If they could, they wanted to help the figure as well. However, the Pure Beasts coming towards them were far too much.

"Now that we're out of the game, we can show a bit more of our powers!" Grim said, as lightning hit him and his whole body started to spark up. With his power even greater than before, he fired out towards all of those in front of them.

To them, they were just wild beasts that were attacking, similar to that of the Dalki.

Agent 3 seemed to change his tactic, as his attacks were unable to break that shield. When it punched again, his hand soon changed into several tentacles. The muscles on his arm had stretched and split, and started to spread around the shield itself.

It looked as if it was consuming the shield. Agent 3 then tried to yank it, but the large figure also pulled back, and it came down to a battle of strength between the two of them. Something soon started to form on the other hand of the figure. It looked like a sword, similarly crafted from bones.

Using it, the armoured creature swung down on the strange tentacles and managed to slice off the limbs that even Leo had been unable to.

'It's not even using Qi… just what is that thing? It nearly has the same strength as Quinn. The only figures that have great strength are those like Linda or Peter.' Leo had learned a little about the undead classes that could be made from vampires, but this was beyond anything he had seen before.

Still, Agent 3 moved back after parts of its arm had been sliced off, and the wriggling parts of his body on the floor started to move and return to his limb. Soon they joined up, and his arm was back in the shape it once was.

Rather than use this opportunity to strike down his opponent, they could see that the figure was still busy looking around. Finally, it seemed to have found what it was looking for, as it immediately started to run towards a certain direction. The others who would glance at the fight from time to time were finding its actions incredibly strange, questioning whether it had chosen to abandon them all of a sudden.

That didn't make sense though since it had yet to suffer any injuries, and it had been doing extremely. In the midst of its running, Agent 3 stretched out its arm once more. Changing it into a tentacle-like form.

It grabbed onto one of the figure's legs and pulled him to the ground. While on the floor. The figure reached out as if it was just about to grab for something. It quickly turned around and did something that none of them expected. Rather than use its sword to attack the tentacles, it had decided to cut off its own leg.

At the same time, its shield and sword disappeared into particles as if they had never existed to begin with. Not looking back, it desperately crawled across the floor until it leaped onto the other side, all to grab what it was looking for.

Everyone had seen this desperate act, and they weren't sure why it was trying to do all of this. Then suddenly, from where it had cut off its leg, bone started to grow. It had the shape of a foot but no flesh, allowing it to stand up.

When it did, they all could now see what it was holding in its hands.

"Is that a head?!" Abdul called out.

Not only that, but it had a wide smile, with eyes that looked like they never blinked, yet the most shocking thing was… that many of them recognised exactly who the figure was.

"Old man… what has happened to you?" Sach asked, feeling incredibly saddened.The vampire leaders were still in the middle of their endless battle, and at this rate, Vincent wasn't so sure if his backup plan would work as he had strategized.

'If times get desperate, I thought maybe the others would use their inner blood weapon.' Vincent thought. 'These beasts are strong, but from the fights, they should have realized that we wouldn't just fall to these guys. That was why I thought the real threat would come later…but I didn't see anything. Are they planning to wear us down with countless numbers? This whole situation reminds me of Quinn when he was on Blade island.'

The soul weapon and blood weapon had some differences. For instance, using a soul weapon would consume a large amount of MC cells, so it was considered the final move or a last resort at times. However, a blood weapon could be used constantly, the only downside being that there needed to be blood to use it. And there was plenty of blood around them, so that wasn't the problem; however, after running some tests, Vincent had found out something that all of the vampire leaders knew as well.

Unlike the other blood weapons made from the dead vampires, this was created from the blood crystal within their bodies. This meant that if they destroyed the blood weapon itself, it would also affect the user.

This was something they all felt, which was also why they wouldn't just use it as they wished. It was a double-edged sword, but one only the vampires knew.

At that moment, Vincent saw the glass break from the other side and two large figures falling from the container. Since the vampires were doing well and could probably keep this up for a little longer, Vincent started to make his way through the crowd, splitting from the circle the leaders had made.

"He is just like the king. He seems to care more about the humans than his own fellow vampires," Jake commented.

"Hey," Jin shouted as he had stopped using his explosive powers. Vampires could only use their abilities so much, and seeing that even if he had used his ability completely, it wouldn't get rid of the problem, he was starting to save it from more serious situations.

"Remember, Vincent already left us once. He has no reason to protect us... and are you saying that you are too weak that you can't survive without him?"

This comment somewhat grimaced Jake, and he turned this embarrassment into anger, throwing out a fist and striking one of the beasts right in the face.

Upon getting close, Vincent could see that the humans were doing a good job protecting themselves; after all, these were strong, but some of them weren't present. He could only speculate that the gas had got to them.

Still, what he was more concerned about was the large figure.

'That Dullahan…I guess if the legends of its powers are true, then there is no reason for us to worry.' Vincent thought.

Right now, everyone could see that the large figure had grabbed an object, and by his side, it was Oscar's face on the head, only it had a constant creepy smile that looked like it was somewhat stuck.

'Oscar… you're still alive... but Quinn said... he couldn't save you.' Something was telling Sach that this wasn't the same Oscar that he knew; perhaps it was his nose or something else, but even Owen had the same feeling as they looked at a great man that once stood by their side fighting and protecting their lives.

While his head was detached from his body of all things.

'Even in death, you are still helping us! Which means I can't slack either!' Sach went for a strong thigh kick hitting one of the beasts into another, and was hoping to turn around and help Oscar, but more were upon him.

"Just let him focus on his own fight!" Owen shouted. "Believe in our old ally!"

'The only good thing is….that at least Samantha is asleep not to witness this. I guess that's why Mona had placed all that armour on him.' Sach guessed.

Since getting his head, it now looked like Oscar was fully focused on the person in front of him. He then held out his head with one hand towards Pure's Agent Three. At the same time, the bone sword appeared in his other hand.

It was clear that something strange was happening. Because as Oscar moved forward still with his own head shoved in front of him, for some reason, Agent three wasn't moving at all. It was as if his feet were stuck.

"Arghhh!" Agent Three screamed, and the muscles on his body ripped apart, forming the tentacles again and heading straight for Oscar. At that moment, he shoved his sword into the ground, and what looked like large white spikes shot up from the ground. They looked like large cut human bones, and in that instant, each of them pierced through the tentacles and hands formed on the end, grabbing onto the strange tentacles holding them in place.

Now, running forward, Oscar swung his sword aiming to slash Agent Three's head, but at that moment, the latter suddenly moved and escaped within a breath's time. Now, just when Agent Three was ready to strike again, Oscar lifted up his head again and pushed it directly in front of the latter's face, and once again, Agent Three froze.

'It seems the rumours are true. In front of the Dullahan, it's impossible to escape once its real eyes are set on you… the body becomes immobile.' Vincent thought, looking at the fight that was going on.

Although Agent Three could not move his legs, he could still move his arms and the rest of his body. He also noticed that he could move his legs again when it tried to attack until he lifted his head. Knowing this, Agent three was ready to make a comeback. He waited for the next attack.

That was until he felt several bones pierce his body from below. The same that had grabbed his tentacles had now gone through his legs, but the worst part was, he could see from the top of the spike-bones, that hands were forming on them.

Each of these bone hands grabbed onto a part of the body with great strength holding Agent Three in place. They had even gone through his hands, and because of this newfound grip, the former was unable to move at all.

It looked like an adult toying with a child. One long bone then arose from the ground where Oscar was standing and reached up to the height of his head. The bone then started to form a hand and held his head in place, still directly looking at Agent Three.

Since Agent Three couldn't move his legs, he couldn't use the full strength of his whole body either, the hands only needed to restrict the muscle in each area, but it didn't make sense. How could just bones by holding down someone who already had great strength?

Now that the bone was holding up Oscar's head, Oscar had two hands free and placed one on top of Agent three's head, holding it still. Then with the other hand, the bone sword was ready. He twisted his body slightly and swung the sword with his full strength, slicing Agent Three's head off in one go.

The bones then went back into the ground, no longer holding up Agent Three's body, allowing it to fall onto the ground. While only the bone holding up his own head remained. Then with the head of agent three in his hand, he stabbed it with his sword holding it up for all the others to see as if he was a General in the olden days, having successfully beheaded the enemy leader.

'That…was far more impressive than I thought... what monster did you create, Eno.' Vincent thought.

Even then, though, Oscar wasn't done yet. As he could see, there was still a lot more to be done. The flesh of the head started to fall as if it was melting, only leaving the bone. Then he pushed the skull into his own body if he had somewhat absorbed it.

Oscar walked over to where his leg was lying. Picking it up, he easily reattached it by just placing his leg where his foot once was, retracting the new bone that had grown.

From his position, an intense green light began to glow, and a few seconds later, a large black horse appeared—green smoke blowing from its nostrils. Immediately, Oscar leapt onto the horse's back, and the weapon in his hand started to form into something else. It shifted from a sword into something longer, something similar to a whip that looked to have been made from a Human spine.

"That thing…could be troublesome." Chris thought as he had seen everything the legendary Dullahan could do.

Everyone was taking note of what Oscar was up to for one reason or another. For instance, they wanted to know what he had become. Clearly, his head was detached from his body, and somehow he was still moving and alive. Even his strength was different from before.

At the same time, they had all felt Agent Three's strength for a brief moment, and they could tell he was strong. This was why they were regularly paying attention to the fight, and they had seen that Oscar had dominated Agent Three throughout the whole fight.

Oscar had strength before, his soul weapon was unique, and he was one of the best users of his earth ability. Still, without his demon tier weapon, many wondered whether he could or should still be considered one of the strongest along with the big four.

Which was why the military needed more strong figures other than just Oscar. However, after seeing what he had just done, without a doubt, he was now deserving to be called one of the strongest.

Not only that, but he had defeated Agent three and had done it in such a fearful and aggressive way, that the rest of them were frightened. Still, at least he was on our side... was what they were thinking.

Moments later, after Agent Three's death, they all witnessed Oscar summoning a large black horse, and it looked just as frightening as Oscar's face himself.

It was incredibly muscular and larger than any horse they had ever seen. They felt as if it would be able to stomp anything that got in its path with its strong front legs. However, it was clearly a magical beast, as the green mist from its nostrils indicated so.

It was at that moment that Leo, too, felt something coming out from his body, and before he knew it, Ovin had been summoned as a black cat appeared in front of Leo. The first thing it did was pounce on one of the enemies in front of him, pushing it back with its strength and causing the Pure beast to fall to the ground.

Then it performed a backflip and landed on the floor.

'I didn't summon you..what are you doing?' Leo asked.

"I'm sorry, but it's not my fault," Ovin shrugged, and when it spoke, others around could hear it as well. They were starting to wonder if they were losing their mind. "It's because of him." Ovin pointed at the horse with his paw.

"The power of the four kings is strong... and it drew me out. Besides, I can't let him do all the work and show up. It's my time to shine as well. Who knows, maybe the four kings will have some reunion at some point." Ovin said, licking its paw.

"Everyone, the beasts have started to move. Fall back! I can't kill them fast enough!" Abdul shouted.

He had been firing arrows after arrows at the few that managed to get through and headed for the glass container, but his MC cells were lowering, and it looked like now that Agent Three had failed at its task, the beasts were going around the large figure with the horse and was heading towards the glass container.

Witnessing this, the others listened to Abdul and fell back. They had only gone out there to make sure that no one would interrupt Oscar's fight. Now that was dealt with, they could fall back towards the glass container, just focusing on the enemy in front of them.

Their main priority was protecting those in the glass container. Although the beasts seemed endless, and their numbers still hadn't dwindled, they could deal with this if Sera or Sil woke up.

"The other one is still out there. Is he not going to come back as well?" Abdul asked as he could see that the figure on the horse remained in front, and so did the black cat.

I think the two of them will just be fine. We should focus on defending this place and looking after the others." Sach answered.

It was true because the second the pure beasts got close to the black horse, it tilted back on its rear legs and slammed them down at the right moment, hitting two of the Pure beasts right on their heads.

Even with the hard scales on their arms, they were crushed under the weight and strength of the familiar. At the same time, its two front legs slammed onto the ground. It sent out a strange green force that stumbled all those in the nearby area.

It was as if they were startled for a few seconds in that small moment.

Oscar then swung his bone-made whip into the Pure beasts, and in the next second, their heads were all rolling onto the floor.

"It looks like you were right when you said we didn't have to worry about him," Grim commented. "What happened to him? He was not like this before."

The answer to this question was what all of them wanted to know.

The horse started to move fast through the tide of Pure beasts, and it looked like a green stream. Whatever the beasts tried to do, the familiar horse, known as one of the kings of the familiar world, was able to stomp through with no problem.

Destroying whatever was in its way, it took out many beasts, and at the same time, Oscar was easily swinging his weapon. For some reason, targeting only their heads. It was hard for the others to tell if he was having fun or not because the head was still firmly held by Oscar's side, and not once did the smile dwindle from its face.

At the same time, Ovin didn't just sit back and watch; he needed to prove why he also was one of the four kings. With his nimble and small body, he was able to jump and avoid being hit. Each time he swiped his paw at the beast's head, it would twist their heads until they would break.

Once in a while, if one of the beasts got too close, he would also breathe out fire.

"A headless horseman! The headless horseman!" Nicu shouted as he sliced down one of the beasts with his sword. "I thought it was only a legend."

"All legends have to stem from somewhere," Katori commented. "Blood fairy is real, and now the Headless Horseman, I wouldn't be surprised if Werewolfs started to make an appearance as well."

The vampires weren't too worried about the headless horseman because the smell coming off Oscar's body. They could tell that it was an undead creature. It was a subclass, so if anything, it was more on their side than the humans.

However, if they had seen its previous action in the glass container form before, perhaps they wouldn't think that too much.

'This is good; with the two familiars out, the rate at which we can take down these beasts is more than the rate at which they are coming. Soon, we can make our move and try to find out who is controlling this, or find a way to close that container where they are all coming from.'

Still watching from an unknown location, Chris let out a big sigh.

"I guess we couldn't have been that lucky that just with Agent Three and the C class samples would be enough to wipe them all out. However, they have done well. I guess it's time to send in the B samples as well then."

Looking up ahead, Vincent was staring at the south container. As the numbers finally decreased, he tried to find a way out of here, out of this situation. That was until he saw something stepping through the glass container.

Instead of the green-colored beasts, there were several red-colored beasts, all varying in different sizes. They looked like walls of flesh, with bones sticking out of their back.

At the same time, Owen and the rest of them witnessed this as well.

"Agent 3 wasn't the only one," Sach said.
