Chapter 105: Two bats
Two minutes have passed...
At that moment, there was instead nothing but foul wind and fog.
Kritos was fighting alone with them by relying on his right hand.
He has never guessed that <Devil hand> ability could work as a weapon.
His right hand is now capable enough to bear the attack of the sword.
Besides, the healing capacity of the right hand has reached an extraordinary stage. It could regenerate the wounds.
Kritos had never thought it had the additional effect, other than increasing strength and defense of the right hand.
Still, it was impossible to defeat a rank three foundation realm expert with only his right hand.
If only Kritos could use the first form together with the <Devil hand> ability, he could have defeated the Rank three foundation realm expert.
However, this situation is not good for him. He was still in a weak state. So, he can't activate the first form.
"Kritos, stop your meaningless resistance. Maybe I would leave you in a single piece. You have already killed one of my men, so forget about escaping alive from here." Mayank fiercely asserted.
Mayank was the least injured among all. Yet, the sweat-drenched his clothes.
It wasn't that Mayank couldn't kill Kritos, but the passage is too narrow to besiege him and Kritos was really good in battle fare. Moreover, he can't use any high-grade skills, or this place would collapse.
If that happens then they may be discovered.
Although, he can kill him if the fight continues, but then there would be a chance someone would found them.
Besides, Mayank was worried about the abrupt power of his right hand.
Mayank had seen with his own eyes how Kritos smacked Ling with one punch.
"Kritos, you think you could defeat us with your meaningless power. Just surrender," Manvi said.
Shouts of clamoring voices came from all directions, but Kritos ignored them.
Even if he was killed, he would take someone down with him.
At the center of the passage, was a slightly protruding piece of a large box. In that box, Kritos was wearing a black piece of shirt. His entire body was bathed in blood, and his hair loosely disheveled. However, his face appeared unconcerned, and his eyes remained cool and collected like a piece of rock! His body — Upright and straight like a spear!
Similar to his bloody devil hand, he was filled with an unyielding intent!
Even though he was already mortally wounded!
Beneath his feet, within a radius of one meter, there was limb and body pieces that were dripping with blood.
Kritos already knew his death was near when Mayank chopped one of his legs.
'Even if I have to die, I would die dignifiedly.'
Kritos thought of his short cultivation journey. It was decent, at least he won the challenger league.
He looked at the surrounding people who were only shouting but were not rushing over. Kritos's face revealed the hint of a cynical smile, filled with superiority and disdain!
"Fear! I like it." Kritos mumbles.
Faced against the rank three foundation realm and two peak apprentice realm cultivation, even though he was completely surrounded with no means of escape, his haughtiness still continued to soar!
'At least, I was capable enough,' Kritos internally thought to himself.
Kritos might die today, but he doesn't fear anything.
It was just, he will not be able to take his brother's revenge.
They were all aware of Kritos situation. They knew that he was already on his last legs, but none dared to rashly approach him. When faced with an attack that would cause them both to perish together, no one was willing to fight alone.
That kind of people, with that kind of mentality, even if their levels of cultivation were higher, even if their numbers were to increase; Even if they could kill me ten thousand times, they were also not worthy of being my enemies!
Kritos continued to smile cynically, then slowly began to sit down. The expression on his face remained indifferent, and his lips continued to remain silent. However, instead, his mind was filled with doubt.
'Sam, if by mistake I escaped from here, I would definitely kill you.'
Kritos know they were his enemies, but Sam was a traitor.
A traitor was more dangerous than an enemy.
The first and fiercest punishment ought to fall first on the traitor, second on the enemy. If I had a chance to kill one and I were faced by both an enemy and a traitor, I would let the traitor die first.
Fresh blood flowed, and Kritos clearly felt his own life quickly slipping away.
His eyes were closing one by one.
At the last moment, when he was closing his eyes, Kritos saw two familiar bats watching him from afar.
Their eyes were glowing with red light. These bats were quite weird, mainly the small one. He has partial violet fur.
"No, I can't die. If I die, who will take care of my parents?"
As a sudden power envelops inside his body, Kritos slowly stood with his hand supporting the body.
However, Mayank suddenly leaps towards him with the sword in his right hand.
Kritos felt it was impossible to evade it. Still, he maintains his position.
Just Mayank was about to pierce his stomach, his face unexpectedly burst.
Smack!!!
Mayank's face burst and blood streamed out from his neck.
His lifeless headless body collapses on the ground.
Kritis was shocked by the sudden turn of the event.contemporary romance
However, some people were more shocked than him.
"Brother Mayank!"
They couldn't believe what they had seen with their eyes.
Just as they were about to approach Mayank, their heads also burst one by one.
Smack!... Smack!!
Kritos mind was in chaos, he doesn't understand what is going on here.
There was also a fear in Kritos's eyes. A fear of bursting into the blood, like them.
Still, after waiting for a few seconds, nothing occurs.
Kritos took a deep breath and glanced at the two bats.
He believes it must be work of them, other than these two, no one is here.
"Seniors, this junior shows gratitude for your help. I will never forget your aid."
Kritos waited for their reply, but they were only looking at him continuously.
'Did I make an error? But except for them, I couldn't sense anyone here," Kritos internally thought to himself.
As Kritos was about to say again, a blood string released from the bigger bat. It soon reached Kritos and formed a circular cage around him.
The circular blood cage quickly began shrinking and consumed the dead bodies around him.
After absorbing all the dead bodies, It gradually shrinks and processes to enclose Kritos body.
Kritos was shocked to see the oppressive power of the blood cage. It was like no one could escape from it.
Shortly, it caged Kritos's entire body.
