Chapter 121 Brustiar's Choice

Nakal's wolf head rotated and searched the surroundings. Then it caught Vik's figure.

"AWWWOOO!"

Nakal howled toward the sky, announcing its excitement. With a beastly grin on Nakal's face, he teleported beside Vik.

'No, it's not teleportation. His speed has increased.' Vik pondered as he slashed at Nakal's attack.

BangBangBang

A series of loud sounds occurred that looked like they were caused by metals clashing against each other.

Despite the sudden increase in speed and attack that Nakal gained, he wasn't able to do any damage to Vik.

Vik was able to pierce Nakal's body many times, but he would get those wounds easily healed.

Vik felt this stalemate they were having would do nothing and that reinforcements might come for Nakal. 'I guess I have to use this.'

" [ Seamless Sword - Star Thrusts ] "

Vik pulled back his sword and thrusted his sword one time.

No! Not one time, he had thrusted multiple times, but with the speed he did, it seemed as though he did it just one time.

THRUD!!!

Giant holes appeared on Nakal's body, maiming him. His body dropped to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

...

Reg and Fiona, who were leaving and were near the area, were able to witness such a feat.

Fiona smacked her lips and said with absolute shock. "I didn't think he would be this strong!"

Fiona had met Vik and talked to him many times. She always felt he was just a simple guy who the sect sent to fill the gaps. But now it looks like she was under the wrong impression the entire time.

Reg was as shocked as Fiona. He was shocked because he just understood the definition of monster in the system's book. Also, the system indicated there were many like Vik.

'These monsters can easily achieve feats that normal people would have a hard time even comprehending.' Reg thought silently. He looked at Fiona and spoke solemnly. "Let's leave; I am feeling many powerful spiritual pressures coming from every direction."

Fiona nodded her head and left with Reg.

...

Vik came before Nakal, whose body was tattered with holes.

"You still have breath in you. You guys are really annoying." Vik could feel Nakal taking short yet heavy breaths from time to time.

Vik, without saying much, swung his sword down at Nakal's head.

'Huh?' Vik halted his execution; instead, he slashed his sword to the right.

Ting

Vik's body shot backward, but he was able to quickly get his footing before hitting the pile of rubble. He looked up and saw a bulky man with a giant hammer on his shoulder. "So, there are more of you."

Kal didn't say anything, just glanced at Nakal's body and said with a grimace. "Tsk, this guy is always irrational."

Vik readied himself and was about to deal a killing blow to Nakal. But he stopped because what he saw next made him go into pure disbelief.

"So, you guys were the main culprits!" Vik gritted his teeth and looked at the Burnheart Ancestors, who had descended from the sky and landed beside Nakal.

Pol said with a sigh. "You can't blame us for being like that. We are just following our hearts."

"Following your hearts?" Vik sneered with anger. "You guys are just blinded by greed. What did these demon cultivators offer you that made you join their side?"

"Strength! Something the sect isn't able to give to us." Kus answered out loud with a laugh. "The Lord will make us go to an even higher cultivation realm! Something that the sect is refusing to do even though they have the resources to do so."

"So that you can rule the town all by yourselves? What idiotic ambition I am seeing!" Vik said it with disdain.

Bast, who had been quiet the entire time, finally spoke. "What is idiotic ambition? We are just trying to rule this town like the sect rules over others. Hmph, if we do it, it is immoral for you guys, but when you guys do it, it is all about justice and the wellbeing of the common people."

Vik squinted his eyes at Bast and said. "Do you know why the sect didn't want to give you the resources? Just think about it. The sect never meddled in anything that happened between the people of their own town or all towns. They don't mind what happens here, as long as no outside force meddles in."

"Also, the sect and I believe in the power of our own strength. If you advance with the help of external items, how far would you even be able to approach?"

"Shut up!" Kus angrily shouted back. "How could you even know what we have to go through."

"Yes, I won't. Because I was able to break my past limits, I will not be senile for the rest of the years." Vik mocked back with a smile and readied his sword; despite being outnumbered and weaker in terms of overall strength.

...

"What do you think we should do?" Gravitar asked Brustiar with concern.

Brustiar had black lines all over his face as he felt he was betrayed, living in a crafted lie that wasn't meant to be known to him. He wanted to rebel very much, but he knew he couldn't do that. "We will be ready to help the ancestors when they are needed."

"Huh~ If you say so." Gravitar gave a helpless sigh, knowing what path his friend had chosen.

They appeared behind the ancestor, ready to give support.

This made Vik frown, no matter how arrogant and confident he was, he wasn't stupid to think that he could win against all of them.

"Vik, thank you for holding on to your ground. We are here to push these demons away from this town." Suddenly, Vik heard a voice beside him, and he turned around to see who it was.

"So, you have arrived." It was none other than Galibar.

Galibar said with a smile. "Not only me."

Vik saw three more people who were old and bulky standing in front of him. 'It seems everyone is joining in.'
