Chapter 97 Shawn Murphy

The rainbow lights above the desert have become dimmer. The dry and hot desert was covered by ice and snow. Well, at least part of it. This area has undergone drastic changes like it was another dimension of the desert.

In the middle of this Icy area was the Blazing Centipede's gigantic corpse. The skin has a rough line of tears and smashes, it was cold yet has some burnt marks on every part, what was frightening was, that a whole chunk of meat in the chest area is gone. The hole was perfectly neat.

There are four shadows beside it. These are the four slayers of the corpse.

Fein looked at the miserable death of the Centipede.

"Life is really fragile... A once mighty golden beast who had ruled the Desert has died in our hands today. That's why being strong doesn't give you the privilege to relax. We have to keep striving for improvement." Fein couldn't help but become emotional.

He has risked his life to kill the monster in front of him. Although the process looks smooth and easy. One mistake in any aspect would result in him dying. Sometimes he wondered what's the meaning of life when in the end they would only end up dying.

Sofia pondered Fein's words. She liked listening to his words as she was learning from them. She didn't really know why Fein has such wisdom that was beyond his years.

"This Centipede has a huge vitality. My spear of destruction already destroyed its most vital point but it was still breathing. I guess that you're right. If not for our continuous combined attack this Centipede would still survive." Sofia said in response.

She remembered the last scene where the Centipede was still alive even after its heart utterly evaporated. She now has a new understanding of how tough the S-rank monsters can be.

Now, she wonders about the Evil God that she has encountered that has a far stronger aura than this.

Sofia hesitated before saying, "Should we proceed? This Centipede is already this strong, the Evil God should be stronger than this..."

Fein also thought deeply about Sofia's words. The bastard Centipede has a fucking strength to produce a temperature close to the Star's Surface. He doesn't know what means the other stronger monsters have.

He acknowledged now, that the monster of S-ranks are far stronger than the ranks below. The gap was almost as wide as heaven and earth.

"Let's recuperate first, this battle has drained my degu energy reserves," Fein said while also showing to them his ruined clothes.

In this battle, his glasses have cracked, and he doesn't have a spare so he won't use glasses for now. His black suit, red gloves, and red tie have tears and holes in them.

He really wants to cry without tears now. This is his fucking favorite suit! Now it was ruined.

Thinking of this, Fein used his "Ghecko Substitution".

"I'll be right back!"

Sofia looked at Fein who disappeared out of thin air.

"Teleporting powers are really convenient" Sofia couldn't help but sigh.

Fein looked for a place that was devoid of presence. He changed his suit to black kimono and brown wooden slippers. These are the only clothes in his storage space. He was reluctant to part with his old suits. After all, he had already become accustomed to them.

'it would do for now.' He sigh.

...

-Monster World's Forest-

The luscious green trees and thick trunks were abundant in the forest. The clouds and rainbow light was giving a paradise of life kind of vibe.

Numerous beasts were peacefully sleeping, a 80-meter sizes black eagle formed a triangle formation while roaming freely and arrogantly in the sky.

Any regular person that sees this would be astounded by the sheer majestic and magical scenes in this environment.

Who would have thought that such a place would exist in the world? Every high-ranking scientist would refute that it's illogical without sufficient evidence, but it exists! With the advent and existence of degu energy. The normal logic and way of seeing this world was subverted.

In the corner of the forest that could be called secluded, in the mountain trench, there violent spatial fluctuations occurred interfering with the frequency of electromagnetism in the area.

There's a 50-meter blue portal just like where Fein and others made their entry.

Three persons emerged, and the spatial fluctuations stopped after. One is a burly male with long dark wild hair, his hair volume is a bit exaggerated as its thickness gave one a wild and savage feeling. A defined face, violet rare eye, and his jaws could even cut a solid metal due to its sharpness. He wears a pair of black sandals, a black and red kimono, and in his arms were pair of dark metal gloves. The whole person was giving a fierce aura.

,m The other two guys are twins and have the same clothes but had different colors from the burly man. Instead of black and red it was black and blue. The two have green short hair with a ring piercing on their nose.

"Captain Shawn, where do we go now?" One of the twins called Frank asked the burly man.

The Burly man is Shawn Murphy. He was the one Max Greyfold sent to hunt Fein.

Shawn Murphy smiled and says in a calm and unhurried tone, "We would find the pitiful man the leader asked us to kill. Apparently, that guy is a scientist and has an alias of Demon Slayer in Society. It was unfortunate for him to join the wrong organization and offend the leader. Now, he would become collateral damage. Let's go we have a bug to squash."

"Hehe, that guy was called Fein if I remember, let's torture that bastard for wasting our time" The other twin licked his lips.

"Don't underestimate him, getting the recognition of Viscount Lucius means he's not that simple!" Shawn Murphy punched him on the back and scolded him.

Frank laughed at this twin brother, "HAHAHA! You're getting on the Captain's nerves, Shey! But I also believe with our Captain's strength, that guy would be beaten into submission!"

"Well we have to first first find him, we have to make sure that nothing would go wrong with this mission, or else the leader would punish us" Shawn looked deeply at the two.

The two gulped and nodded like a scared chicken.

Maxwell Greyfold is known for his cruelness even to his subordinates.
