CHAPTER 20 : BIG BOSS

Rudolf attentively observed the surrounding with all the senses he could muster.

Even so, he failed to anticipate the incoming feet towards his head because of its incredible speed,

"B...!! (boss)"

-splat-

Before he finished his words, a foot was imprinted on his face, and he slammed his head on the floor with a thud sound. His head exploded like a watermelon.

His gray matter splattered on the ground, and his blood sprayed on the other mercenaries that were near, especially their big boss who was wearing an expression beyond disbelief while the blood of his most loyal comrade was painting his face.

his eyes become lackluster then suddenly turn into a crazed glint and a trembling pupil in an extreme anger

"the most disgusting color of qi that I have ever seen. How many lives did you play to possess that kind of qi? It was a blessing for you to die without pain."

Sebastian looks at the corpse under his feet and mumbles in disgust.

the other members were still unable to move to the sudden death of their comrade and still looking fearful to Sebastian without even breathing

afraid to catch the attention of this being and become the next target of him- who instantly killed the second most powerful person in the group in just a single moment

"WAHHHH!!"

A loud warcry came from the big boss, and a flame-like thing slowly materialized on him. It started to engulf his whole body until he was fully covered

it was literally like a raging flame without a proper shape and just pointing upwards. It was very different from the calmness of the qi that only stuck to the form of the user.

While the leader emits an ever-changing kind of plasma on his body and glares like a frenzied beast. however, Sebastian is just expressionlessly looking back at him

"ARGHHH!!"

the big boss shout with all the strength he has, and the plasma that his body emits turn into a spiky shape, and he makes a big stride towards Sebastian while preparing his battle-ax to take a hit with a large swing of his broad arms,

then all the plasma in his whole body instantly focussed on the blade of his ax and it becomes coated into a dense crimson plasma that is on the verge of exploding anytime

he swings it with his two hands vertically with all the weight of his body, and it causes a massive crimson line that approaches Sebastian with a speed of light.

Then Sebastian leisurely tilted his body, believing that he could easily dodge this attack even if it were at an incredible speed.

However, unlike what he anticipated, the crimson line swiftly rotates and changes horizontally. the eyes of Sebastian were in extreme shock because of the sudden tricks of his enemy.

It rapidly made contact with Sebastian, followed by a ground-shaking explosion that almost burst the ears of other mercenaries and stumbles to their feet.

The ground behind Sebastian becomes uneven because he instinctively buried his feet on the land and raised his left arm to block the incoming attack.

he transferred all of the excessive force to his feet that made the ground on his rear rise and became asymmetrical, and all of the trees were utterly unrooted to the ground, and tree shards were scattered in the air that came from the trees that were splits in half by the excess force on the attack of the big boss.

"Yeah, that's our boss!! take that mother fucker!"

the mercenaries become elated when they see that their boss landed a direct hit on the mysterious person who killed Rudolf

at first, they become overwhelmed by his presence because of his sudden attack from the sky without them knowing, but they regain their confidence to put a fight by seeing their boss go on par with him in a single attack

" damn it"

It was the last word he only managed to vocalize before he was thrown in the air, and it looks like it was not quite fine because he was spinning like a boomerang that had no possibilities to stop. He landed unsafely with his head crashing first on the ground and leaving traces of cloud dust. even if he was on the floor now, he was still spinning like crazy.

When the big boss sees that Sebastian is struggling to stop the momentum of his attack, he immediately chooses to make his next move. He disappears into the place where he was standing before and reemerges in the direction where Sebastian is going. he waits for him there, aiming to give another destructive attack to land a finishing blow

' i never thought that you were this weak. Am I just hallucinating about what I felt before? I think it was a good thing that my senses were wrong. But how can this weakling play my senses? if it was before I can proudly say that my instinct was the reason that I am still alive and can keep growing stronger. anyhow I need to finish this bastard first. He may be hiding some trump card. I will not let you take even a breath.'

"DIE!!!!!!!"

his battle-ax was once again imbued with the thick crimson plasma. This time it even got ticker from before and started to erase the figure of the ax and cover it fully.

"TAKE THIS!!"

the timing on how he descended his ax is perfectly in sync with Sebastian while he was rolling intensely on the ground like it was an inevitable fang waiting for his flesh to split apart his flesh

at that moment, Sebastian still look so unwell and just letting all the things happen without considering the danger that will happen to him

The head of Sebastian lay completely on the ground, and in that split second, when he opened his emerald eyes, the ax coated in a crimson plasma was just an inch away on his head. Even the fluctuation happening on the ax was evident to Sebastian.

the ax was very slowly falling in his sight, and it is evident that harnessing a destructive power when this thing crushed to his head.

"I see"

when the tip of the ax was only a strand of hair before it landed on his forehead. The eyes of Sebastian glinted at that moment, and the ax mysteriously stopped.

its previous crimson color has faded away and turned into a colorless plasma that has jagged edges like teeth of a predator.
