Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Murder! Butcher!

Clearly, the base of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was not so easily taken down, for it was guarded by Void Magic Warriors!

The guard squad was caught off guard by the sudden rush of Void Magic Warriors, and in an instant, two guards were killed!

At this time, the Guard Corps had already switched to brand new rune equipment. Not just one or two pieces, but every guard had donned a full set of rune equipment. Thus, whether in offense or defense, their strength had been greatly enhanced–a fact that became evident in previous battles, where the Guard Corps had an absolute advantage in equipment when facing bandits.

Yet, this advantage was still insufficient against the Void Magic Armor!

The rune equipment was powerful, but at this stage it had only reached the level of mana equipment. After all, Orton was still conducting in-depth research on runes, and the true advantage of the runes had not been fully realized.

So, just after a single exchange, the Void Magic Warrior from the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had killed two warriors, not only efficiently but also leaving the guards powerless to resist.

“It’s a Void Magic Warrior!”

“Launch the signal!”

After two people had died in succession, the small guard squad finally reacted. Upon realizing that they were facing a Void Magic Warrior, the squad captain let out a yell and immediately cast a Magic Flash.

Unfortunately, before he could raise his hand, the Void Magic Warrior instantly accelerated towards him, and then, just like he killed the previous two, he struck down fiercely with his sword. The sharp longsword slashed into the captain’s shoulder, cleaving through his chest almost without resistance!

Another one dead!

“…”

After killing the squad captain, the Void Magic Warrior momentarily paused his assault. Then he sneered, raising the longsword to his mouth and licking the fresh blood off the blade with his tongue before curling his lips into a smirk.

“Blood…”

In his sneer, the Void Magic Warrior spat out the blood in his mouth and then gazed at the remaining seven soldiers with an almost psychopathic look.

However, at the same moment he turned his gaze towards the guards, a flare suddenly lit up above everyone’s heads!

Clearly, as the squad captain was killed, one of the other guards had reacted swiftly, launching a Magic Flash into the sky.

This was a universal signal for the Guard Corps. Whenever a squad encountered an unbeatable enemy, like demons or the Void Magic Warrior before them, they could use Magic Flash to call for support.

“……”

Looking up at the burst of Magic Flash overhead, the Void Magic Warrior from the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group slightly furrowed his brow, and within a few breaths, a figure flew down from the sky and landed heavily a moment later!

Rocky!

After the Guard Corps dispersed into the Hongcheng Ruins, Rocky and Liliya had been patrolling in the air, ready to provide support at any time. Liliya had already gone to support another squad, so when Rocky saw the flare in the sky, he immediately rushed over.

“A Void Magic Warrior?”

Upon landing, Rocky naturally caught sight of the enemy standing by the bodies first thing, making him somewhat surprised.

The Wild Horse Air Pirate Group… still had Void Magic Warriors!?

The man before him was undoubtedly a bandit from the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group, which meant… this Air Pirate Group actually had as many as six Void Magic Warriors, five of whom were engaged in battle with Karina, while the remaining one had stayed back at the base!

This truly shocked Rocky. He had not expected the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group to be so deeply rooted, not only possessing a massive fleet but also a substantial number of Void Magic Warriors. No wonder these bandits had been roaming the skies unchecked for so many years–they truly had strength.

But when Rocky shifted his gaze from the Void Magic Warriors and looked at the three corpses in the pool of blood, his expression turned ugly.

“These people… did you kill them?”

Looking at the bodies on the ground, Rocky slowly lifted his head, his tone suddenly turning cold.

“What, are you the leader of this trash?”

Faced with his question, the Void Magic Warrior standing beside the Guard corpses curled his lips into a sneer and carelessly kicked a corpse with his foot, as if he was dealing with a pile of garbage.

This action immediately made Rocky lift his head, and his eyes unconsciously narrowed into slits.

“Good.”

As the words fell, he charged towards his opponent!

Rocky had no intention of going easy on the man who slaughtered his Guards. Without wasting any words, he not only took action but also raised his Rune Longsword and slashed down while sprinting!

However, facing his sword strike, the opponent revealed a ferocious smile. An already aberrant look in his eyes suddenly filled with bloodthirsty madness; he didn’t dodge but instead charged straight towards him.

A clanging sound echoed as the two Mana Weapons collided mid-air, creating a flash of light, and then the two figures in the sky each drew back some distance!

“Your Armor… has it been modified?”

After clashing head-on with Rocky, the Void Magic Warrior of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group furrowed his brow.

An evenly matched outcome was unexpected to this Void Magic Warrior since he wore the second-generation Armor, the Madman Model 4, with a magic energy value of 1100. In contrast, Rocky was wearing first-generation Armor, which, to his knowledge, did not exceed a magic energy value of 500. How could their clash have been a draw?

But the reaction of this Void Magic Warrior was rather quick as he immediately realized that Rocky’s Armor must have been modified.

Unfortunately for him, Rocky had no intention of answering his question. Stopping his retreat, he immediately accelerated at full power, lifting his Rune Longsword to launch another charge!

“Hmph!”

Seeing Rocky act without any discussion, the opposing Void Magic Warrior sneered ferociously and, without any sign of fear, directly met his charge!

This Void Magic Warrior named Toss had the nickname “The Butcher” within the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group. He had an abnormal personality, harboring an obsessive fascination with slaughter and bloodshed. While others turned to piracy out of desperation or greed, he joined purely for the convenience of killing.

Even Kilov, the leader of the Air Pirate Group, was troubled by Toss’s character, as he was too aberrant. At times, even Kilov couldn’t stand it, making Toss not very popular within the Bandit Group.

However, his strength was truly formidable, and it was precisely because of this that Kilov reluctantly gave him a set of Void Magic Armor, although only the second generation. Most of the time, Kilov would not keep Toss close by; he couldn’t stand that man’s twisted gaze.

Now, facing another attack from Rocky, Toss revealed that loathsome look that even a desperado like Kilov would dislike, chuckling weirdly and screaming as he met Rocky’s advance!

“Even if your Armor has been modified, it’s still junk!”

Getting ahead by striking after Rocky, Toss raised his longsword and hacked down!
