Blackwater City, Professional Alliance branch office!
“Boom!”
In the face of the sudden appearance of Dean McKenzie, the president of the Blackwater City branch, Finn Richardson, did not hesitate to take action.
In a blink, he was in front of Dean McKenzie, gripping his throat!
“Me, this kind of person?
What kind of person am I for you to judge?
You think I don’t know you came from the Blackwater Mine?
You think I don’t know you went to find this idiot?
I was just kindly giving you a way out, and I didn’t expect you to be so reckless!
Well, then you can go to hell!”
With a cold laugh, Finn Richardson was about to choke Dean to death.
But when he tightened his grip, Dean seemed unaffected.
Joking aside, Dean was protected by the Guardian Shield. Even if Finn, a fifth-turn warrior, used all his strength, he might not be able to harm Dean!
Dean counterattacked with a Vision Deprivation and a Slow Curse on his opponent while activating Bone Resistance!
His actions were swift and smooth.
But they left no damage on Finn.
The gap between third-turn and fifth-turn was once again evident.
Fortunately, Dean never expected to handle things on his own!
On the other side, Finn, who effortlessly broke free of Dean’s control and withstood the Bone Resistance with a look of disdain on his face, suddenly changed his expression.
The Gate of Bone behind Dean opened, and Doggy Two’s King of Bone smashed directly into his face.
At the same time, a dagger coming from behind him diagonally upwards, made a lethal strike!
“Puff!”
The sensitive part was damaged, causing severe pain!
Finn, in his agony, managed to break free from the control of the King of Bone.
Finn, who wrested control and felt the fiery pain in a certain spot, instantly became furious, turned around and swung. A shortsword appeared in his hand and instantly slashed across Old Eight’s neck.
Old Eight’s invincibility took effect for two seconds before promptly nullifying it.
[Finn used Killing Strike, your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eightj’s invulnerability is nullified!]
Old Eight’s head was instantly decapitated.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) was hit by Killing Strike, triggering the killing effect, your Doggy Eight has died! ]
Instantly, Old Eight’s skeleton scattered!
At the same time, Old Seven from the Land of Bone didn’t hesitate to use Fearless Charge to break out. He rammed directly into Finn.
He nailed Finn straight onto the office wall.
This was only because the office was built with sturdy materials; otherwise, this impact could’ve thrown him at least two miles away.
Just as Finn was nailed to the wall, a Bone Arrow was fired from the Gate of Bone.
As the branch president of Blackwater City, Finn has some strength in reserve.
Seeing this, he directly burst forth with the fifth-turn warrior skill.
Warrior’s Heart
This skill is actually similar to the Bone Eruption, the difference is that this skill is a standard one, not the kind of enhanced skill like Dean’s.
There’s a difference between an enhanced skill and a normal one.
The difference is that the amplification of an enhanced skill can be limitless to some extent, but the amplification of a non-enhanced one has a limit.
This skill directly boosted Finn’s strength and physique by 50,000!
Fifty thousand strength and physique, which were incredibly strong. Generally, fifth-turn warriors don’t possess this attribute.
Finn stretched out his arms and pushed Old Seven away. Old Seven scattered instantly as he flew out.
At the same time, his backhand slapped the arrow shot by Old Nine from Land of Bone back, and Old Nine was also blown up.
With his gestures, he blew up three of Dean’s fourth-turn skeletons.
With this level of power, he would rank mid-tier among the fifth-turn fighters.
Among the fifth-turns that Dean had encountered, he could be in the top ten.
Of course, the one in the Blackwater Mine was actually stronger than him. It’s just that he was unlucky. In the beginning, he was blasted by Dean’s ultimate skill.
This one was a bit weaker, but Dean doesn’t have the medium to use the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse.
This skill requires a medium. The medium is the vengeful spirits killed by the target, which are full of obsession towards the target.
When used against Raymond, all of the 180,000 vengeful spirits were there.
When used against the one in the Blackwater Mine, hadn’t he just killed a lot of people?
But when used against this president, Dean was out of luck. He hadn’t killed anyone yet, and Dean didn’t have the vengeful spirit he killed. So he couldn’t use his ultimate skill and had to fight hard.
This gave the opponent a chance to retaliate.
And after Finn easily killed several skeletons, his gaze was immediately fixed on Dean.
A smirk of turning the tables appeared on his face. He rushed to Dean again and threw a heavy punch at Dean’s abdomen.
Then, Finn was dumbfounded, Dean was still unscathed.
Meanwhile, the Gate of Bone behind Dean activated Doggy Two’s King of Bone again.
The difference was, this time, Doggy Two charged out directly.
The [Bone Eruption] commenced, the Bone Throne was summoned, and the lethal heavy strikes pounded onto Finn Richardson.
Richardson clenched his teeth and endured the blow, counter-attacking by throwing the dagger in his hand at Doggy Two. With a “crack”, Doggy Two shattered on impact.
Richardson’s face lit up with joy.
But his smile froze almost immediately, for the shattered Doggy Two was instantly restored.
Simultaneously, a familiar pain originated from a familiar source. Turning around, Richardson realized that Old Eight, whom he had just obliterated, had resurrected.
Not just Old Eight, but Old Seven had also been resurrected.
As Richardson was turning around, Old Seven launched a Fearless Charge right into his heart.
At the same time, Doggy Two stabbed him in the back again.
Caught between the strikes from both sides, Richardson was cleaved into two halves.
Ordinarily, such a severe injury would have been fatal, but Richardson was a fifth-turn existence with a tenacious will to live. Despite being still alive, his current state was in awful shape. As the effects of the Warrior’s Heart skill wore off, he fell into a weakened state, struggling to even get up. Panic set in, and he desperately called for help, “Help! Can’t anyone see the invasion of a rogue professional? Hurry, save me!”
Despite Richardson’s vigorous calls for help, no one came rushing to his aid for a long time.
Finally, a fourth-turn newbie stumbled hesitantly toward him, only to witness Richardson pinned to the ground under the barrage of several terrifying wraiths.
Momently, Dean McKenzie cast a sideways glance at him.
“Scram!”
Immediately, the brave new soul fled in complete embarrassment and horror.
Enraged, Richardson spat out blood and hurled curses, “Cowards, a bunch of cowards!”
Hearing Richardson’s curses, McKenzie chuckled, “Cowards? Were they not the ones you brought up, nurtured and taught? Cowards who fear death and forget their honor at the sight of personal gain!
To the powerful, they bow down and submit, eager to do their bidding; against the weak, they strike mercilessly.
Why should anyone be willing to risk their lives to save someone like you in a time of danger?”
Upon hearing McKenzie’s mockery, Richardson assumed a completely different attitude.
“Sir, you’re right. I process an intense fear of death. I bow down and submit. I’m devoid of any compassion. But please be considerate; as the guild leader, I have a responsibility towards Blackwater City. Everything I did was out of necessity.
Of course, I understand that I was wrong. I am ready to compensate. Can’t I just compensate you?”
“Compensation? What can you offer as compensation?”
“With all my wealth, with the accumulated wealth of Blackwater City over the past ten years!”
Richardson’s plea came quickly.
Upon realizing he was no match, he immediately admitted defeat.
While speaking, he fumbled out a badge. Amidst the onslaught of Old Seven and Old Nine, he used the badge. As he activated the badge, a secret door in the office unveiled itself. Through the opening, McKenzie could see the shimmering light of gold.
“That room contains ten years’ savings of Blackwater City. Everything is yours, everything. Can you please spare me?”
McKenzie glanced at the secret door and nonchalantly summoned a dozen skeletons from the Gate of Bone, directing them into the secret door.
There was an unexpected amount inside.
Just in gold coins, there were more than a hundred thousand. Notably, there were also thirteen Secret Realm Crystals, hundreds of skill books, dozens of instance scrolls and several promotion task scrolls.
And a large number of materials required for promotion.
McKenzie’s eyes widened at the sight of this astonishing wealth.
Richardson, who had been watching McKenzie closely, saw this and brightened up. “Sir, all this is yours. Only if you spare me, I swear that in five years, I can provide you with the same amount of wealth.
Don’t kill me. Keeping me alive could be like having a golden egg laying hen.
Also, if you do kill me, the Alliance won’t let it slide.
You may not be afraid of the Alliance due to your heroic prowess, but you wouldn’t want to be bothered by them, would you? If only you can spare me…” “Plop!”
Richardson’s plea was abruptly cut off by the sound of a blade piercing through.
The one who lashed out was not one of McKenzie’s skeletons, but his own brother, Enzo Richardson. He had been pushed aside since McKenzie’s arrival.
At this moment, Enzo held a dagger in his hand that had pierced Richardson’s throat, preventing him from speaking further.
In fact, he had acted right under McKenzie’s watch. McKenzie could have stopped him, but chose not to.
Because before stabbing Richardson, Enzo had stabbed himself right in the heart. He was determined to atone for his sins even if it meant his death.
McKenzie didn’t have a reason, and also lacked the ground to stop him.
Besides, Richardson wasn’t going to die, so there was no reason for McKenzie to intervene.
Enzo collapsed weakly after landing that blow, lifeless.
As for his brother, the humbling entity who had been coaxing McKenzie, he was still very much alive due to his zealous fifth-turn vitality. However, survival did not necessarily mean good fortune for him.
McKenzie gestured, preparing to have the skeletons haul the objects from the secret compartment into the Land of Bone.
However, Old Six suggested that McKenzie’s plan was inefficient.
Why haul anything?
Old Six simply brought the entire office into the Land of Bone.
After transferring the office, McKenzie proceeded to Blackwater City’s Promotion Temple to execute his second plan, transporting the Promotion Temple into the Land of Bone.
The newly upgraded Land of Bone could now contain a four-story Promotion Temple!
