Chapter 210: Baiting! (a)

Advance Guide: Ruler Life Taker has killed five D-rank and 2 C-rank members of the Blood Oracle Guild. Detected! All of them were contestants killers. No plenty applied to the Ruler for killing them! Rewards Obtained: 2500 Ruler coins. 2 C-ranked Battle Light. 3 D-ranked Battle light. 2 D-ranked Battle light... 350% Mission progression rate for the quest Nasty Contestant Killers

Quest Rewards Obtained: 6 Floor Skip Crystal

There were various round Battle Light, Mana light, and different color equipment glittering on the ground. The Mana Light and battle Light were bounded to him. To explain it more specifically, he's the only one who can absorb them. However, the items weren't bounded to him, and anyone could pick them up. 

Last but not least, he now had a total of 9 Floor Skip crystals stored inside the storage area of Advance Guide. He just needed 11 more to successfully reach the 31st floor by the end of today, and impress Elder Zachary.

Although he had killed seven of them, he wasn't the least bit excited about it. Furthermore, Whittaker couldn't help but feel a burst of lingering fear in his heart. He was not the only one that felt that. Those still alive at the summit of the Rocky mountain felt the same.

The Ball of Devastation has after all killed seven experts in a single moment. Even though they were off guard and taken by surprise, they were nonetheless powerful experts that have reached D-rank and C-rank.

'I can be considered a genius amongst my peers, but compared to true powers I am still lacking in that area. A single Ball of Devastation can easily end my life.' Whittaker thought with a heart filled with astonishment. He was too amazed by the deadly effect of the Ball of Devastation. Let alone human bodies, even the trees and ground, where the Scarlet Death needle pierced were melted and burned into smoke and ashes by the violent fiery energy.

Chaim and his group looked at the dissolved corpses of their comrades in shock, and they were startled by their death.

"What was that?"

"Such a powerful weapon... It could only be a war weapon used to win world wars!"

At the summit of the Rocky Mountain, the members of the Blood Oracle Guild were panicking. The corpses have dissolved into ashes in mere seconds and this caused fear to spread throughout the group.

Will a Second Ball of Devastation explode?

Will they be the next ones to die?

The members of the Blood Oracle Guild were panicking. However, Alex and Chaim's expression became cold and serious.

"Silence, all of you! The Ball of Devastation is a restricted war weapon with a limited production rate. There is no way another one is gonna be thrown our way." Alex shouted.

As the second in command, his words held a significant amount of power, and it helped calmed the group. They certainly believed that Alex was saying the truth.

He wasn't wrong. Sem, The Dragon Slayer only had one Ball of Devastation which he handed over to Whittaker for use.

"It's an ambush! The killer must be nearby us!" Chaim shouted, his eyes scanning the surrounding.

Following his words, the rest of the members also scanned the area to locate the killer.

After killing; Whittaker didn't leave right away, since at the moment he wasn't detected by the baffled buffoon below him. He was hiding behind a rock at the peak of the rocky mountain. As his body was small, he completely hid behind the rock.

'I never thought that killing a few of them would be easier than baiting them after me. I should make some preparation before revealing myself to them,' he thought before taking out the last few Haste Talisman from his rankless ring of genesis.

As explained before the effect of talisman decreases by fifty percent when it is being stacked. But the three Haste Talisman still increased his speed by a total of 175%. Plus the speed-boosting effect provided by the Azure-Sky earrings increased his speed by another 100% the moment he activated it. His speed has increased up to 275% Now, Whittaker would not be surpassed in the realm of speed due to the power difference, even when facing the C-rank and D-rank experts of the Blood Oracle Guild.

He was now confident that he could run away easily after taunting them.

Whittaker took a deep breath, relaxing his body as he stepped out from his hiding space and proudly stood at the edge of the peak of the mountain with his head held high.

His appearance was noticed by a D-rank who shouted while pointing at his location: "There he is!"

Everyone turned to take a look at him. Many pairs of eyes landed on him.

Whittaker poured some units of Battle Energy in his lungs and throat. Now, his voice was amplified and everyone will hear what he has to say.

"Hi losers, how did you like my gift? Was it impressive? I don't know what you're all thinking but I am surely impressed by you all. You guys are as resilient as cockroaches, surviving even the frontal assault of the Deadly Ball of Devastation!" Whittaker taunted them all with a peal of hearty laughter that echoed throughout the surrounding. The Battle energy has boosted his voice and his shout was jarring to their ears.

"An ant at the E-rank power level dare disrespect us!" Killing desire surged within the eyes of Chaim, Alex, and the rest of the group after Whittaker's words sounded. They were already furious at the death of their comrades and finding out that a pesky E-rank brat was the cause increased their anger to another level, but it reached the peak when they got compared to the likes of an insect by a mere ant!

"Kill him to avenge our brothers!" Raising his right hand, pointing at Whittaker, Chaim shouted to his comrades.

"Die!!!" Without any further adieu, Alex immediately swung his class weapon, Black Wind with murderous intent at Whittaker, and at the same time, poured some units of battle energy in the attribute line to release his battle skill [Crescent Moon Wind!]
