"Huf! huf!"

A handsome-looking man with two red horns on his head was standing on a stone floor while supporting a middle-aged man.

He seemed tired as he himself was finding it hard to stand.

William looked in front of him.

A raging blue fire was burning, it felt just like an ocean of flames at first glance.

He bit his lips seeing the destruction he had bought upon, but it was inevitable.

Thousands died but it was necessary, it was all so that he could get hold of this middle-aged man.

The one who was currently standing with his support was none other than Kasim.

An executive of Demon coterie.

He was the one who approached Shiva to join hands with them.

And the reason why he was in that state and how he met with William,

---

It was a normal day as lively as always.

Kasim as usual contacted the headquarters and was continuing his duty to look after Cale.

It was pretty usual for him so he just laid back watching Cale hunting monsters.

Cale had improved by leaps and bounds compared to when he was in Colosseum.

More than in Power, he improved his mental powers by leaps and bounds.

’The test that the Fist king gave him, it is not impossible if he improves at this rate’

He thought looking at Cale who punched a hole through a scale monster, a Swamped lizard.

’His strength may be more than 400 now’

He smiled happily and closed his eyes enjoying the good climate as a wind brushed past him.

’I need to...!!’

He opened his eyes only to be surprised!

A man wearing a mask of a Jaguar which was pitch black stood right in front of him!!

’When did he.....’

"Quoekkkk!!"

He didn’t even have the time to react as a fist hit his stomach which made him fly off to a distance.

Kasim who was an expert in assassination didn’t even feel the man’s presence until he saw him.

was he careless?

No! that meant that the enemy was just that strong!

Kasim who flew off collided with a rock as it shattered at the impact and he fell to the ground.

The hit was powerful, He was stunned at the pain that was coming from it.

’I need to tell him to escape’

Even in the time of crisis, all he had in his mind was to somehow make Cale get out of here.

’I need to hold him back.’

He looked at the man who was standing at the same place not even bothering to look at him.

By this time Cale has likely noticed that explosion.

’I need to hold on until he escapes’

He thought as he took out his two daggers and pounced on the man.

Kasim was a Ranker of Demon Coterie, not to mention he was someone who excelled in the assassination.

He was known as the Ranker of the Dark by the people for his ability too.

But right now all that didn’t matter as he was now facing an enemy head-on.

He was already at a disadvantage since he has attacked first being an assassin, it was fatal.

The enemy already knew his presence which was very disadvantageous for any assassin, but he was not exactly going to fight him to win. He was only going to hold him back until Cale got out of there.

So it should be fine.

that’s what he thought!

He threw a poison bomb at the man and threw his daggers aiming right at his neck.

But the weapons just passed through him like there wasn’t anything there.

only after a second did he realize that it was the afterimage left by him.

He was a bit late to notice as the man appeared beside him in a flash!

"You are Kasim? They said you were strong! but you are nothing much I guess!"

He said punching him straight in his face.

Boom!

The punch was so powerful that a huge sound was made at impact.

He didn’t fly off like that last time as the man in the mask held his color and continued to punch him.

boom!boom!boom!

The sound of punching resounded in the surroundings as Kasim’s face become a bloodied mess.

The daggers in his hand fell to the ground as he was on the verge of losing consciousness.

"You are already out of gas? tch! that’s so boring"

He threw him to a distant rock like Kasim was just a ragged doll.

He turned around as numerous men in black masks arrived there!

"The target has been captured!"

A\One man said pointing at the body his subordinate was carrying on his shoulder.

"Hmm...let’s go! it was too easy, I hope the next target is stronger"

Kasim whose face was swallowed like a balloon barely looked at the man.

There he saw the unconscious Cale on the back of some masked man.

"Shall we kill him, sir?"

One of the masked men asked.

"Let him be, we want someone to spread the news right?"

’No...no...n....."

Kasim wanted to say something but his body gave in as he fainted!

***

When Kaiser opened his eyes again the sky was dark.

He is belatedly reminded of the things that happened before he was knocked out!

His face went pale as he immediately sent a message to the Headquarters requesting support and got up running in a certain direction.

In his hand, he held something that looked like a compass! It was an artifact that will guide the user to the location of someone who was previously saved in it.

He had saved Cale’s name in it to be on the safer side which was actually paying off now.

’Hold on Cale’

He desperately hoped as he increased his pace even when he knew that even if he catch up to them he could do nothing!

***

"Alright, just seven more seals to go!"

William thought seeing the description of the Light stone he was in possession of.

______________

The growth was visible plain as a day.

Every time he unlocked a seal he grew by leaps and bounds.

He could no longer be compared to any Rankers for that matter.

Currently he was on his way to clear the 30th floor challenge.

The challenges of the floors has become too insignificant for him now.

He was hoping that he could reach the higher levels soon.

He was leisurely looking at his status window when he sensed something coming towards him with incredible speed.

He immediately jumped sidewards dodging that!

A huge sword was firmly planted to the ground where he was previously standing.

"You were truly something else!"

The voice of a man was heard as a figure wearing the mask of a Jaguar was revealed.

’Who the hell...?!!’

He didn’t have time to properly look at him as hundreds of arrows rained upon where he was standing.
