Chapter 214: Death Wish
Chapter 214: Death Wish
"So weak... Is this truly the best you can do?"
"..."
The moment Greg said those words silence fell on the ruins.
Weak? Did he really just say what they heard? He just said one of the top experts in the world that his attack was weak and raised a question if it was the best that he could do.
In everyone's mind, only one thing was currently lingering and that was if maybe Greg truly got bored with his life and that is why he asked what he did.
Subconsciously, everyone glanced toward Night on the side with huge drops of sweat visibly on their faces.
"He is dead for sure!", said quietly William from the side with a mocking smile and chuckled.
Night, who was just offended by Greg's arrogant statement looked terrifyingly calm, while his expression looked insanely dark.
Glancing at Greg with a visible bloodlust, he smirked slightly and said, "I see... If you want to die so badly I will fulfill your wish!"
*BOOM!*
Instantly as those words sounded, Night's body exploded up with the momentum, and like a bullet, he appeared before Greg.
Maybe Night was not someone who was in the speed system like Joe, but his movement was surprisingly fast.
Adding to his average God rank speed, Greg noticed that on Night's feet a strange-looking shoe was, indicating that thing too was a Soul Creature.
While Greg inspected the Soul Creature on Night's feet with great curiosity, Night raised his hand and said, "Now die!"
As he said that, in the middle of his palm, a sight similar to a black hole appeared, and was ready to suck Greg inside.
From that distance, any ordinary person would have been sucked in and got killed, but unfortunately, Greg was no ordinary person to begin with.
Just as the palm was about to touch his face, the Jade Skin around his whole skin vanished and what appeared in its place were uncountable wind vortexes.
*Swish!*
Like a fairy in a storm, Greg swiftly appeared behind Night's back, while in its hand, a black staff with a golden carvings arose from thin air.
*BAM!*
With a gentle swing, Greg hit the back of Night's head, making his whole person to fly away unstantly and explode onto a broken wall in the distance.
"!"
Every member from the Scepter Family froze up instantly seeing, not believing what they just saw a second ago.
"What... What happened just now?"
While everyone tried to figure out how could someone on the Ascender rank beat someone on the God rank like that, Night stood up from the debris.
His expression told everything. Not only were his eyes blazing with the declaration of murder, but behind his back, his Guardian could be seen in a half-transparent state.
His Guardian looked like a squid, but with the difference that on the end of each of its tentacle several small black holes were swirling eerily.
"I will kill you!", said Night angrily with clenched teeth and was about to make his move, when suddenly two figures appeared before him.
"Get the f*ck out of my way or I will kill you too!"
Looking at Hogan and Cloud with a sharp glare, Night was about to move, when suddenly, several clones, representing Cloud appeared around him.
"I'm deeply sorry, but it seems I can't do that.", said Cloud as he bowed at Night.
Before coming away from Mythbreak he promised to Eliana and Zane that whatever happens, he would protect Greg because he was the only one who was able to collect all the keys.
Unfortunately, he couldn't stop Greg's behavior in time, but now that things escalated to such a point he had no choice but to go with the flow.
Night seeing that Cloud was now his enemy, looked even angrier. It seemed his reputation from the past now has vanished and everyone started to look down on him.
He felt insanely ashamed, so to make himself feel better he knew he needed to let out his anger right now and there. If not, he felt he would definitely go crazy.
"I see, then there is nothing else we can talk about!"
Instantly as he said that Night waved his hand.
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
Immediately, all the Scepter Family members broke out with Ascender rank presence one after another and without any hesitation, they attacked Joe and the others in the middle.
Seeing the uncountable attacks that flew toward them, Joe and the others instantly raised their guards, ready to counter the assaults.
"Then watch as they die!", said Night with a smile.
Hogan, however just simply smiled and said, "I won't because they won't."
And just as he said, an unexpected sight happened.
Because everyone was scattered, Greg was not able to use his mask nullification ability, so he decided to protect those who had weaker defensive ability than the others.
Instantly, he appeared next to Jonathan, Emma, and Laura, while he let Joe and Milat to defend the others from the crazy assaults.
*BAM!*
Greg used his mask's power to protect the three, while Joe used his Jade sword to counter each attack head-on with his crazy speed.
Even if he couldn't annihilate some by accident, Mila was right there for him and with her purplish flames, she burnt everything to ashes, not letting anything to harm the ones behind her.
Everyone seeing this looked shocked, but still, they didn't stop and attack them with everything they had.
While seeing the shocking sight with widened eyes, suddenly Hogan appeared before him, and with a powerful swing, he got punched in the stomach.
"Breagh!"
With a bent forward torso, Night's whole being flew away once again, and just like a few moments ago, he got blasted onto a huge stone in the distance.
*BOOM!*
Instantly as this happened, Hogan clenched his hand into a fist and smiled, "It's still the best feeling to punch you like a sandbag! I instantly feel better thanks!"
Coughing up a huge amount of blood, Night stood up slowly, while his anger was slowly going out of control.
In such a short amount of time, his pride got blown away instantly. First, a kid said he was weak and even blasted him away, and now he got punched by someone who was specialized in defense.
He felt like dying right now.
"You all will pay for this.", said Night and without hesitation, he burst toward Hogan with crazy speed, ready to punch his face.
*BAM!*
However just as his fist could have touched Hogan's face, a yellowish barrier appeared, stopping his assault for once.
Seeing Hogan's smug smile, Night's expression darkened, and instantly, a black hole appeared around his fist.
"I won't f*ck around like last time, so die!"
Instantly as he said that the black hole expanded and was ready to engulf not just Hogan's barrier, but Hogan itself too.
"!"
Hogan seeing this looked surprised, but before he could have reacted, suddenly Cloud appeared from out of nowhere and kicked Night on the waist.
*BAM!*
Making Night to explode onto a wall, destroying it completely, he glanced at Hogan and said, "Be careful. He is currently a wild beast. One mistake and you can die."
Hogan knowing he would have died now nodded and said, "Thanks for the help. I will repay it for sure. As for me..."
*BAM!*
With an insanely powerful punch, Hogan hit himself right in the face, making his nose and mouth to bleed instantly.
"I need to wake up and be as confident as before!", said with an insane amount of concentration in his eyes.
Cloud seeing Hogan getting back to his feet, nodded slightly and glanced at Night in the distance.
"Well then... How should I deal with him now?"
While the three experts were busy dealing with each other, until then while Greg was using his demon mask to protect themselves from the Scepter Families assaults, he looked at Jonathan.
"Here. If we want to win, we need your help too."
As he said that, Greg raised his hand, and the key he obtained from the Time Temple appeared.
Seeing the glistering white key, Jonathan's eyes looked brighter, and without hesitation, he grabbed the key.
However, the moment he did, an unexpected sight happened.
*BAM!*
The whole being of Jonathan got covered with white light too, but instead of getting older, his body started to get younger with each passing second.
No, saying his body was a bad statement. What got younger was not his body, but instead his bones.
Every bone inside his body started to turn smaller and smaller. And what was even worse, it was quite visible that Jonathan felt the whole process in a hellish way.
Luckily, he was inside the demon mask's nullification area, so the process got several times slower. However, unfortunately, it didn't mean it was less painful.
No, on the other hand, it was even worse. The pain was like slow torture. The feeling was almost unbearable.
However, even with that torturous pain, Jonathan still closed his eyes and started to try to unseal his power inside him.
