Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Mikael dived in the horde of enemies. A weapon appeared beside him and he swung it down the Methuselahs. They felt a devastating storm and their bodies turned into smithereens, blood splashed all around the place dyeing it red.

The Methuselahs had feelings too, they were people who had a will on their own. But for Mikael, right now, they were nothing more than monsters that he must murder. They were experience points that he must get to level up.

His blade was sharpened to slaughter, always has been.

On the corner of his mind, Mikael knew that these people were just like him, a human. But he tossed that idea together with his guilt. Fuck sympathy, his goal was to slaughter them if it would bring him and his family a good life. And currently, his mind was focused on Furrneka's wellbeing, he didn't have time to hesitate. His eyes glowed just like his Lightning Void Spear.

"All of you die and become my nutrition. I will hunt you even if you beg!"

His family was important than these stranger alien-like people, his blade was swift creating gusts.

The Methuselahs saw his hostilities, they screamed and assaulted him with their powers. All of them attacked at the same time. They were furious and vengeful about the deaths of their comrades.

Mikael generated his Lightning Strength and waved his Spear. 3/4 of the attacks were parried because of the strong swing that he did. Mikael took the 1/4 of their attacks, he had strong armor and he was using his Lightning Strength, his skin was tougher.

Some of the attacks penetrated his skin but they were not deep. After a couple of bombardments, the Methuselahs stopped and inspected him. They wanted to know if Mikael was dead.

Silence filled the place and dust started to disappear leading the place to become clearer. A silhouette of a man was standing in the middle. He had blood all over his body but he didn't have any wounds. Mikael's regeneration healed all of the wounds that he got, even the wounds he received from Furrneka vanished.

The Methuselahs screamed when they saw that their enemy was still alive and standing. Fury engulfed as they ravaged the place. They lifted their hands again and started casting their powers again.

"As if I will let you have time to do it."

Mikael wielded his Spear and smashed the ground, the ground shook and the Methuselahs lost their footings. Mikael pointed his weapon at the ground and activated his Lightning Spear!

*BOOM!!*

An explosion devoured the place, the glasses of the buildings around him broke. The whole ground disintegrated and a crater appeared after, the Methuselahs around him died. Their regeneration couldn't keep up with Mikael's explosion. The smell of roasted bodies crunched Mikael's nose, he rubbed his nose and went to his next destination.

"Killing these weaklings won't give me large xp, I need to hunt at least seven or eight Counts to reach level 500."

Mikael killed Count Redrose earlier and that man was strong. He wanted to find seven Methuselahs that had the same strength as Redrose to level up. His estimation was not exactly right but he didn't care. As long as there are Methuselahs around him, he could reach level 500.

"Hm?"

Mikael looked up and saw that a man started falling to him, he was descending like a meteor. The man had a whip and used it to strike Mikael as he descended. The whip moved like a snake, slithering, and aimed at his face. Mikael lifted his Spear to protect his face but the whip changed again and aimed his leg. Mikael was surprised, he tried to shift his body but the whip was faster. The whip struck his leg and ruptured his flesh, Mikael squinted in pain. Another set of attacks went to him. Mikael who was gritting his teeth backed away and dodged them.

The man landed safely, the man had a slim body and long black hair. But just like the other Methuselahs, he had red eyes too.

"Ptui! How dare a man like you kill my brethren. You will pay for that!"

The man clenched his whip and started swinging it. The whip moved erratically like a raging bull that rushing aimlessly. Mikael followed the movement of the whip. He realized that it had unpredictable moves, Mikael kicked his tongue in annoyance.

"It looks like I caused a disturbance and they realized that I'm a threat. Hey long-hair, what are you? You are stronger than that Redrose guy."

Mikael said.

"Hmmph! Don't spout nonsense, don't compare me to that Redrose. I'm far more prideful and beautiful than him. I'm Duke Von Stein! The one and only!"

Duke Von Stein proudly presented himself. Mikael grinned and held his Spear stronger.

"Yeah, I can feel that you are stronger than that man. By the way, I killed that Redrose easily."

Mikael replied and raised his weapon. The movements of the whip became unapparent and hard to follow.

"So you killed Count Redrose."

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Then, your sin will be heavy and for that, you must pay. "

Duke Von Stein started rampaging, his swings became stronger and faster, Mikael's eyes tried to follow the whip but to no avail. The whip ravaged and went to hit his stomach. Mikael saw the incoming attack and evaded it, he thought. But the whip vanished and strike his back, Mikael's skin was torn.

"I'm still not finished!"

Von Stein waved his whip again. Perceiving the whip coming yet Mikael was too late to depend nor dodge it. Mikael felt the force and he was slammed into the building. His senses went out for a second as he felt himself flying. His body crashed and went inside the seven-story building, he was blasted destroying the pillars. He coughed blood and his eyes unfocused. He slowly stood but he lost his balance again as the building started falling.

Von Stein destroyed the building, he wanted to bury Mikael under the concrete.

"...Oh shit!"

The unconscious Mikael regained himself and started running to escape the building, he went full speed despite his stumbling dash. The building crashed down and Mikael successfully escaped. However, he didn't have the time to rest. The impatient whip drifted and whack him, Mikael face contorted as his chest bled.

Duke Von Stein walked into him, he was releasing killing intent and it was directed to Mikael. Mikael spat blood and revealed his bloodied teeth, he was excited. It was a long time ago when he got serious in a battle.

"Good good, this is what I want."

Von Stein sneered while looking at Mikael.

"Don't think that you will live, you are still weak to fight me."

"Pfft-"

Mikael started laughing, this man was really strong. His whip moved irrationally yet it always hit him. He laughed because this fight made his blood boil. Duke Von Stein became mad because his enemy was laughing.

"Why are you laughing, do you think this is funny? Then I will send you t-"

"I'm starting to think that this job is really fun. Hey Duke BlabberMouth, I will show you the power that I always keep at bay. I still didn't use my Title to its full potential. "

A powerful hidden aura rose deep in him leading the air to become cold. Duke Von Stein raised his defense. His every hair stood as he felt the destructive power in Mikael.

Mikael activated his Dragon Slayer. His shoulders up to his neck had golden scales, his irises were slanted like a beast. Now, the battle became interesting.
