Backstabber

At the same time, a fierce fight was unfolding inside the city.

BasicallyIdoWrk, with the Netherite sword in his hand and a rocket Launcher in the other, was fighting against a group of black-dressed men. 

At the same time, Xavier had been wearing full enchanted Netherite armor, Shield, and a two meter tall Netherite Sword, making him able to protect himself and Marcel against forty more black dressed-men. 

Marcel and Xavier cooperation was flawless. The two killed as the ultimate duos between a warrior and a tank. Despite them being surrounded by forty of black-dressed men attacking them frantically, the two did not seem too disadvantaged.

Quite the opposite, Marcel was calmly dealing with the attacks coming towards him.

Herald's expression was dark. He thought that Marcel would panic after his friend was gone, but contrary to his expectations, he appeared leisurely, as though it was nothing but a game.

Make things worse, the golem has gotten far stronger than before. He wore an armor similar to the metal of the sword Marcel has and the magic energy emitted was incredible far. Able to rival the Theocracy's greatest treasures.

If he didn't bring Master Realm combatants with him, the whole battle would be nothing but a massacre. Fortunately he bought seven Rank 5 and three Rank 6 combatants, both at the level of Master Realms; and so, they were able to hold themselves from the Golem.

Of course, he could not know that Basically truly considered this just a game. For Marcel, even if he could not win, he could use an ender pearl, give one to Xavier then throw it very far so they can escape from here. By then, unless a Grandmaster, Legendary or a Demigod appeared, Herald would not have a way to make them stay.

So, Marcel was fighting leisurely alongside Xavier, using this opportunity to test the limits of his strength and see how far he could manage to go.

The remaining black-dressed men that were attacking him were now a total of twenty-one, after he killed seven and Xavier killed twelve, two of them were at Rank 6.

Originally, there were 14 Master Realm experts, but two went to check the situation of Gracie, one was killed by Moo, and one more was protecting Herald, leaving only ten of them to fight Marcel and Xavier.

But Marcel was not too worried about the ten Master Realm black-dressed men. With Xavier on his side, he was confident he could put up a fight against them even if he could not win.

The one that made him wary was Stella.

Stella's unique stealth ability was nothing like any other high-level stealth spells. Even he and Xavier had trouble finding her unless she was a few feet from him. But Stella seemed to have noticed it, so she always waited beyond that distance and attacked when she found an opportunity.

Marcel felt a headache each time he had to deal with her annoying ass ambushes.

In truth, she was the main reason he was at a disadvantage.

And also, compared to the other enemies he fought, Stella seems like the only person Marcel doesn't know what rank she is. It's like she was hiding it.

Due to the fact that he had to be wary of her attacks, he could not put his entire focus on the black-dressed mens. Moreover, the black-dressed mens knew how lethal his weapons were, so they moved erratically to avoid being honed on by his Tank Destroying guns and avoided his Netherite Sword as though it was a plague.

But even with that, he and Xavier only managed to kill nineteen of them before two minutes passed!

Herald felt angry and terrified. Seeing Marcel's calm face while he killed his men and noticing that he had not been injured even once, his face distorted in rage.

"What are you doing, fools!? Can you not take care of even one man and a Golem!"

The black-dressed men felt pretty pissed as well. How could they know that his young man would be so troublesome?

Even when they found an opportunity to attack, the Golem would immediately crush or slash them with that oversize sword. And even when they try to outrun the golem, they would realize that their movement had been predicted by Marcel and they jumped into a trap.

In fact, two of the men the two killed had died like that.

One of the Rank 5 black-dressed men gritted his teeth.

"Dammit! Zupor, use it!"

The other Rank 5 expert nodded. Instantly, his knife was wrapped in flames. The flames grow in size quickly, turning into a raging dragon of fire.

Then, the black-dressed man jumped towards Marcel!

"Die, bitch!"

The flames consumed everything in the men's path. Xavier turned and dashed, trying to stop the attack but was immediately interrupted by eight other Master Realm experts.

Marcel, noticing the attack, switches his guns to an Enchanted Shield, blocking the weapon, but the flame-infused dagger burns his shield, slowly making a hole on it.

Seeing that his Shield was about to break, the black-dressed man bellowed in delight. 

"You are done for, [BEEP!]" The man shouted as he then increased the mana in his dagger and put more strength in his arms.

"Yo, what the fuck did you just say!?" Marcel felt incredibly offended, just how the hell is that 'word' also existed in this world? 

Whatever, Marcel decided to ignore what he just said as he continued to look at that scene with wrinkled brows. He could see the second the Rank 5 guys prepared a follow-up attack behind him and his senses were picking up the faint killing intent he emitted.

'Shit, It looks like I will have to use it then.' Marcel sighed and was about to get a bomb on his inventory, capable of blowing this entire street to ruins.

But suddenly, he was stunned. Then, he smiled.

In the next instant, a shadow fell from the sky.

"Kakaaaaa! Imma motherfuckin' cock!" The shadow screeches like a crow. The shadow held an enchanted bow and three arrows tipped with TNTs.

The next second-

*Boom!*

The three TNT arrows struck the Rank 5 enemy who was attacking Marcel's shield!

The explosion shook the surroundings. A cloud of dust formed, blinding the people around, the one that tried to destroy the shield stood up, surviving those explosions. But before he could react, two diamond swords slashed him.

And the next instant, more screams sounded.

As the cloud of dust disappeared, blood and gores were everywhere in the ground. When the dust cleared, a man with a mask alongside an armored Golem was beside Marcel. As for the Rank 5, his body was unrecognizable.

"...Oh shit, wait. I'm supposed to say Crow, not Cock, hihihi~!" Delirious giggles.

"Hahaha! Classic Delirious, you and your stupid mispeaking words!"

Seeing Delirious again, his skill {Aura of Despair} activates at 16%. With his bloodlust aura and the bodies around him, it gives an immense fear to the people around him.

"D-Demon!"Herald stuttered. At the same time, the black-dressed men took a step back.

"Are you alright, Marcel? I didn't come too late, right?"

"Nope, your timing was kinda perfect. But whatever, and unfortunately for you Delirious, I seen Xavier gets the most ki-... what the fuck!? Delirious, your arm!"

"Hm? 0_0 "

Looking at his arm, he noticed it was on the ground a few feet away from him.

"Huh, that's why I feel something off by the time I kill that guy just a second ago.

"So what are you exactly?"

"I don't know. Ever since we were transported to this place, I can't feel tired, or in pain... or even feel anything every time we kill people."

Thinking about it, Delirious didn't feel anything when he killed people and even humans, no guilt, no regrets, no pleasure, just... nothing.

Was his own character or this body changing him? It was a terrifying thought to think about. Whatever the case may be, he had a feeling that he should shut the hell up for the meantime and work with his black friend until they had a grasp on their situation in this place.

"You're right, since I was killed for the first time, I only felt a little guilt, but you... nothing, I don't see it in your eyes. Thinking more of it, I think you're like an undead or something?"

"Probably."

Marcel gave off a small smile at his friend, he somehow started to get used to those fantasy stuff affecting his friends. Vanoss and Wildcat for example, they now become like animal humanoid beasts... or furries if he likes to call it.

The two friends chuckles before looking at Herald.

"It looks like your plan is destined to fail."

"Y-You... Your friend is an Undead!"

Delirious looked at him with a chuckle, "What? Is it your first time seeing one? Or is it something that society hates?"

'For some reason, I feel I'm about to get discriminated against if more people knew I was an undead.' Delirious thought.

Herald opened and closed his mouth repeatedly. But then, he started to laugh.

"Hahahaha... Hahahahaha! Perfect, this is perfect! When the people in the city learn that you have an Undead with you, you will have nowhere to go! Bunch of assholes, I want to see how you will escape this ti-... Ugh!"

Suddenly, something stabbed his back.

"Ugh... Cough cough…! Wha...?"

Looking over his shoulder, he saw a silver-haired girl looking at him with an ice-cold look in her eyes.

Herald vomited a mouthful of blood and asked in a hoarse voice.

"...S-Stella, why?"
