Chapter 197 The Dean Against The Invading Leader (Part 1)

"Such strength," The dean's eyes widened slightly, then pulled his scepter back. The dean kicked the ground as he flew into the air.

[Soul Slash: Grim Reaper]

The dean shouted. As he did, his body started transforming. A blackish mist appeared in the air as if engulfed the dean. Then, from behind his back; strange feathery wings popped out while a black cloak was draped all over him.

As for his scythe, a white trim ran over the scythe's edges while the whole scythe turned pitch black. Flapping his wings, the dean remained in the air. Then, glancing down at the invading team leader, the dean swung his scythe as a black arc left the scythe and headed for the invader.

On the other hand, the invader smirked as he brought his spear in front of him and blocked the scythe.

"bangg!!" the arc hit the scythe and a small explosion occurred. The invader slid back a few meters and looked at the dean. As he did, he saw the dean's dark red eyes staring back into his reddish eyes.

With fear creeping upon himself, the invader shook his head and swung his spear. The air whistled an invisible arc headed for the dean, "Hmph…" The dean snorted as he dodged to his right.

With that, both of them entered a stalemate as one stayed in the air show the other on the ground.

On the other hand,

Silent Sword sheathed his sword back into the scabbard as two headless bodies fell to the ground, "Hmph… So weak," The sword master snorted as he sat on the ground and started meditating.

Right besides the sword master, Inferno battled against two calamity-ranked experts. Since it was in the fire maniac's nature to play with his enemies and have as much fun as he could, the fire maniac did exactly that.

He slowly pushed the enemies to the brink and made them suffer as much as he could.

"Please, just kill us already," One of them begged. He had blisters all over his face while the skin below was burned to the crisp. Inferno had kept the man alive by burning only certain parts of his body while keeping the essential organs safe. This way, not only did the person feel immense pain but was also alive.

"Ohh… that I will but not so fast. I have just started," Inferno grinned evilly as he raised his hand. The hand was covered in flames. Then, crouching down; Inferno grabbed the man's throat with his blazing hand, and with the finger of his other hand, he poked it into the man's eyes.

"Arghhhh!!!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs as not only did his neck burn but so did his eye.

"Hmm…Interesting. To think that you would have such weak pain tolerance. Guess, I found another weakness of your race," Inferno spoke as he pulled out his finger and snapped the man's neck, "Crybaby!" He muttered as he turned around and looked at the other person who lay on the ground with both of his legs mangled to the point that were no less than blobs of meat.

"Now, let's see how good you are," He spoke and rubbed his hands.

"As if," The man spat on the ground as frost spread all around him and formed small daggers.

"Hmph…Take this," He muttered as thousands of daggers flew towards Inferno and hit him at point blank. As the daggers hit the fire maniac, a purplish substance spread through them and entered Inferno's body.

"That's the poison of a three-tailed Scorpio. It is said to be the deadliest poison to ever exist. Now, it will melt your whole body within minutes," the person spoke.

"What did you say," Listening to the man's blabber, Inferno picked his nose in annoyance and asked, "Please, speak again,"

"I f*cking said that you would die within minutes. The position of a three-tailed Scorpio has spread through your whole body," the man shouted.

"Oh really? Wow! Hahaha!" Inferno started laughing as he spoke, "Poisoned? Are you sure?" He asked.

"Why are you laughing? Have you gone mad? Aren't you listening? I said that you will die in minutes," The man shouted in confusion as he thought that Inferno had lost his mind.

"Well, that brings you a few more minutes to live so you could see if I die or not," Inferno said as he peacefully breathed out and sat on the ground.

"Fool," The man muttered. Then, he looked at the person in front of him.

"Why is his body not deteriorating? Also, why is the purplish tinge on his skin receding?" The man asked himself as he felt something going wrong.

"Ahh!! I can't do it anymore," Inferno shouted and opened his eyes.

"So he was bluffing," The man thought as he waited for the person to fall to the ground and vomit his organs.

"Okay, your time is over. Also, thanks for the poison," Inferno said as the poison running in his body was extracted from his veins. Cutting his hands, the poison dropped into a small vial as he collected every drop of it.

The poison was purplish black in color. It was thick in viscosity while small colorful veins pulsed within it. Though it seemed strange, the poison of the three-tailed Scorpio was known to be one of the most mysterious and abundant poisons in the outer world.

Since there were no cures for this poison, the poison was controlled by the royal house of the Teilra Race.

"What? How?" The man spoke in utter shock as he saw the incurable poison fail to damage the foolish muscle head in front of him.

"Well, it is very easy. I am special," Inferno spoke as his hands blazed with fire. Squatting down, he grabbed the person's neck and pushed his other hand into the man's chest. Grabbing his beating heart, Inferno pulled the heart out and crushed it.

Slowly, the man's eyes dimmed as the light of life diminished from his eyes as he plopped to the ground.

"Such an exciting battle. Where is Prometheus?" Inferno spoke to himself and turned around to look for the dean.

"Oh, so that's what he is doing," Inferno muttered as he saw the dean unleash a hellish attack on the celestial down below while the celestial used his spear fluidly as if the water itself and cast a barrier of water.

"Hmm… A water ability user. Well, good thing I didn't take him on," Inferno thought to himself and continued observing the battle.
