Chapter 15 A One-Man Army

With Danze Shao in hand as a shield, the two great families would naturally be wary of killing Suren.

They wouldn't dare to release large-scale, sweeping spells, or even fire their guns indiscriminately.

Suren's keen senses and super-strong reactions simply didn't give them any chance to snipe him.

And with the previous example of "Nightblade" Ibn Jallad being instantly killed, they didn't dare send assassins to sneak close either.

In the [Puppet Theater], it was impossible to approach Suren silently with those transparent silk threads surrounding him.

Especially since Suren was surrounded by a pile of ready-to-go strange puppets, including [Black Hole Doll], [Nightmare Doll], and even the famed puppet [Twelve Heavy Knights] of the "Trickster" Lloyd.

With a puppet-enclosed iron wall, it was almost impossible to kill him without some special methods.

What's more, there was still that invisible living corpse and the Black Scythe, whose whereabouts were unknown.

That was something even Tier 3 professionals were wary of.

...

The group could only vent their anger on the puppets, but ordinary people couldn't even beat the puppets.

The puppets didn't feel pain and weren't afraid of death, and they were ruined when they were ruined.

Often, for every puppet destroyed, several people would die.

A hundred or so puppets meant several hundred deaths...

The situation suddenly turned around.

The side with more people was instead being beaten back steadily, and they didn't dare to get too close to the Puppet Theater's domain, confronting it from a distance.

The gunfire gradually died down as well.

Suren ignored those people; this prison wasn't small, and with so many people running in different directions, it was impossible to catch them all.

However, the young master Danze in his hands was miserable.

With no one coming to deliver themselves to death, the hostage received another two cuts.

Young Master Danze screamed in pain, the fear of death making him lose all the composure of a wealthy heir. With a tearful voice, he howled hoarsely, "Come and save me!"

He was truly afraid.

He genuinely felt the despair before death.

He had never felt such terrifying killing intent from a person before.

Getting close to Suren, that palpable killing intent was like needles, scaring his soul to tremble.

Those frantically gushing negative emotions were like an expanding balloon—invisible, yet clearly felt...

Danze had no doubt that the moment those emotions completely exploded, this demon would immediately stab him to death.

This feeling of not knowing when it would explode was the scariest thing.

Young Master Danze wailed repeatedly.

The gunfire suddenly stopped.

The battle between the two Tier 3s also temporarily ceased.

Although the "Wind and Thunder Sword King" Nero seemed to be a notch stronger than Anthony, he wasn't confident in taking down this old housekeeper, who was focused on a death match, in a short time.

On the contrary, once entangled, he was even more afraid of the Black Scythe that might appear at any time.

That's why he deliberately pulled away.

Anthony didn't dare to chase; he didn't dare to stray too far from Reina.

Seeing the increasingly intense red light in Suren's eyes, Kai and the others knew what they should do. In this break in the fighting, the three had slowly approached the entrance to the second floor.

Although worried, looking at Suren's current state, they knew they couldn't help at all.

The Oliver family commander walked out and said in a deep voice, "Release Young Master Danze, and we can discuss any conditions you have."

"Discuss?"

Suren smiled with cold mockery, shaking his head. "Tsk, tsk... No, I just want to kill all of you."

As he spoke, he stabbed Danze again.

This cut severed an artery, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Without medical attention in a short time, Danze would not escape death.

This was also to force the Oliver family to come and save him.

...

While this battle was raging, in a corner of the prison, a middle-aged man with glasses leaned against the wall, silently observing the battle.

Although he was wearing the Oliver family's combat uniform, looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, his face showed no intention of intervening to help.

On the contrary, smelling the thick bloody scent, the middle-aged man's face revealed an enjoyable and pleasant expression.

Only when his gaze landed on Suren did a bit of spirit appear in his eyes.

...

Suren had no intention of negotiating, and in reality, neither did the Oliver family.

They were just looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

In their eyes, Suren was someone who had to be killed.

Just then, suddenly, a lightning flash flickered in the enemy's crowd.

Spell formulas require a certain amount of time to gather energy for the formation, and the higher the level, the more time it takes. But this lightning exploded very suddenly, as if time had locally accelerated several times, completing this [Lightning Cloud Chain] in the blink of an eye.

This was a Tier 2 lightning spell, and it didn't have strong killing power, but it had one effect: to paralyze enemies in a range.

Right now, it was perfect for saving people.

Suren's eyesight caught the surge of purple lightning, and he guessed that the person who launched it was Declan Maynard, the elder of the Mysterious Association, "Thunder Speaker." To be able to cast a spell so quickly, this spell obviously also used that special time curse item, [Watkin's Pocket Watch].

He wasn't surprised at all, and instead murmured, "So, this thing is in that guy's hands..."

How fast was lightning?

Just as the light flashed, the explosive electricity was already in front of him. Da Feng Novel

Even the puppets around Suren, and even young master Danze, were shocked, giving him no chance to absorb the lightning with the [Black Hole Doll].

"Zzzt~"

"Zzzt~"

A large swath of lightning swept across and disappeared in a flash.

The injured young master Danze foamed at the mouth from the electric shock, and Suren also stood there blankly, seemingly paralyzed. The paralyzing effect was quite good.

Almost at the same time as the lightning flashed, several Tier 2 professionals from the Oliver family rushed up without hesitation.

They were afraid that Suren would react, and also afraid that the Tier 3 Anthony would come to the rescue.

"Bang!"

The loud sound of an alchemical bullet.

The sniper's bullet was faster than the professionals, hitting Suren's head.

But to everyone's surprise, there was no bloody scene of a head exploding.

With a "clang" sound.

The bullet hit his head, making a crisp metallic sound.

Looking again, Suren's scalp had been broken, revealing a layer of dark golden skin.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the leading professionals changed drastically, and they cried out in their hearts, "No, it's a bionic skin!"

They didn't expect that Suren would cover his face with another layer of bionic skin, concealing the strangeness of his real body. Only upon getting close did they discover the dense gold element.

Seeing this, the group instinctively felt that things were going to be bad, but it was too late.

Because of the rapid charge, they had already appeared in the range of the [Puppet Theater].

Just as their sense of danger rose, they suddenly saw Suren tilt his head and show them an enchanting smile.

As if he had expected it.

Then, in a flash, the surrounding air suddenly became viscous.

Those invisible witch's hairs suddenly solidified, making them feel like they were deep in a waterfall, surrounded by silver hair.

Suren slammed his hand down, muttering in his heart, "Silk Control Secret Art - Flower Waterfall Burial!"

The witch's hairs intertwined with each other in a special way, borrowing strength and transmitting torque several times, even ten times greater. Countless threads wove into a net, and the more the prey in this hair waterfall struggled, the tighter it would be entangled.

The leading group, the fastest ones, were almost all lightly armored professionals, and they fell into the same situation as Ibn, the "Nightblade" who had been killed before.

After Suren controlled them, he didn't give them any chance to escape. The eight-armed spider spears "whooshed" several times, directly stabbing bloody holes in the vitals of several people.

The Tier 2 professionals didn't even have time to react before dying on the spot.

After harvesting a wave of soul fragments,

To the surprise of those in the distance, Suren didn't stay within the range of the [Puppet Theater]. Instead, he made an incredible move.

Like a savage warrior, he charged towards the direction where the lightning had surged from before!

...

Although they didn't understand why Suren hadn't been paralyzed, and why he had killed those Tier 2 officers who had gone to save people in one fell swoop,

Seeing the man charging over, the people from the two great families also opened fire together.

The next moment, a despairing scene appeared before their eyes.

Suren didn't dodge or avoid the hail of bullets.

The bullets hit him, making "crackling" sounds.

Even with single-soldier cannons, he could easily dodge them by tilting his head.

And after that layer of bionic skin was completely shattered, a gold-lacquered, radiant bronze body appeared before everyone's eyes!

Upon closer inspection, the dense barrage of bullets didn't cause him any damage.

Seeing this scene, an unbelievable thought arose in everyone's hearts.

A puppeteer was actually charging through gunfire and ammunition like a blood-ox warrior?

Who the hell would believe that?!

Even more surprising to them was the speed Suren displayed.

Just as he broke through, there was a "pop" sound, and a burst of air.

Then, in the eyes of most people, Suren's shadow suddenly dissipated.

How familiar was this scene?

Young Master Aili in the crowd was so frightened that his soul flew away. That familiar feeling was back...

Before, outside the cursed space, didn't that blue-skinned guy almost kill him with this ghostly movement technique?

...

"Sky-Stepping Steps! No... it's not ordinary Sky-Stepping Steps either!"

In the distance, "Wind and Thunder Sword King" Nero's expression finally changed.

Before, he was only wary of the Black Scythe in Suren's hand. Other than that, whether it was puppets or silk threads, the threat to a Tier 3 professional like him was very limited.

But now, watching Suren with his body covered in gold lacquer, using the Sky-Stepping Steps,

He realized that things were not good.

"This is a Tier 3 gold element condensed Flesh Alchemy?"

Nero finally understood,

That just being able to withstand alchemical bullets with his body, in reality, had already made Suren invincible.

Even if he took action personally, it would be difficult to kill him.

So, this also meant that if there were no Tier 3 professionals present, Suren, with his ability to control hundreds of puppets and the Black Scythe, really might kill everyone here!

"What kind of monster is this!"

The shock in Nero's heart could no longer be described with mere shock. It was a complete upheaval.

Only Tier 3 professionals could understand how rare that body of flesh alchemy that was impervious to blades and spears was. It required such a deep understanding of the laws to master such a top-level spell!

Sky-Stepping Steps, Flesh Alchemy, and a Puppeteer...

He suddenly realized that even without Anthony, he himself had no confidence in killing this SS-class wanted criminal Suren.

...

The shock in the hearts of Kai and the others, who were preparing to go to the second floor at any time, was no less than that of others.

Kai's eyes trembled fiercely. "He's actually so strong..."

It was a kind of terrifying strength that made one's scalp tingle, charging into the enemy ranks with an invincible posture.

Anthony's face twitched violently as well. He felt that this Tier 3, who was hailed as the "ceiling of professionals" by outsiders, suddenly paled in comparison to that golden youth.

Reina was already speechless, as if she had returned to the underground cave: If he said he could, he definitely could.

Seeing this scene, they finally understood what Suren had said before.

When he said he would kill all these people, he was serious!

...

Although Suren's profession and implants weren't in the direction of physical growth, the speed of these Sky-Stepping Steps was still so fast that people couldn't react.

With great speed, he naturally dodged more than 90% of the attacks.

The remaining attacks that hit the [Diamond Body] condensed by Tier 3 laws didn't hurt or itch at all.

His goal was also very precise; he was charging straight at that "Thunder Speaker" Declan who had cast the lightning spell earlier.

Before that female warlock with a staff and a silver pocket watch could react, Suren had already charged in front of her. With the momentum, the eight-armed spider spears stabbed straight at her. With a mage's physical speed, there was simply no way to avoid this attack.

At this critical moment, she had no choice. She pressed the stopwatch in her hand again, and the surrounding scenery suddenly slowed down.

The fatal spider spear in front of her was also easily dodged.

Just as she wanted to escape further, wrinkles suddenly appeared on her face, and her hair quickly turned white. In the blink of an eye, her entire body was like a deflated balloon, and she seemed to have aged fifty years in an instant, turning into an old woman with white hair.

This sign was obviously a curse backlash from [Watkin's Pocket Watch]!

Suren easily pierced her chest with a spear, stripped off her soul fragments, and then took the pocket watch in his hand.

"The last item is in hand..."

Suren muttered in his heart. At this time, he raised his hand and grabbed, as if something invisible appeared in the air.

He flicked his finger, and the stopwatch floated in mid-air. With another "click," it was actually pressed.

This subtle action made Nero, who had been staring at Suren from afar, change his expression drastically. He retreated without hesitation, wanting to leave the place where he had been standing before.

"Hehe... Living corpses really are useful."

Suren felt something, and the arc of his mouth grew higher and higher.

This was also why he had been hiding his strength and hadn't completely erupted.

He had been waiting to get this pocket watch, and only then did he have the ability to kill Tier 3 professionals!

[Hypnos' Night Black Scythe] + [Ötzi the Iceman's Shroud] + [Watkin's Pocket Watch] = an unsolvable weapon of mass destruction!

The pocket watch could have a 2-5x single-target time acceleration, which would make the living corpse's movements very fast.

Although there was a luck element involved, if he really gambled on a speed of 4x or more, Suren was confident that even Tier 3 professionals wouldn't be able to react easily!

Moreover... living corpses weren't afraid of the life-shortening backlash.

Just this slash, and he happened to gamble on a speed of 3.7x.

Although Nero's reaction was extremely fast, this slash still landed on the tibia of his right leg.

Suren had also predicted that the guy would dodge with his body, but his feet would definitely be the last to move.

This slash directly cut off the lower leg of this Tier 3 swordsman.

The spatial rift lightly cut through, and after a moment, blood spurted out with a "pfft" sound.

A severed foot was left in place, and Nero lost his balance. After all, he was a Tier 3 expert, and even with a broken leg, his reaction was extremely amazing. Just as he fell, he slammed his remaining leg hard, and his body shot out, leaving Suren's field of vision.

Although he wasn't dead, this Tier 3 was as good as crippled after losing a leg.

Suren sneered and ignored the fleeing enemies around him. He charged towards the severed foot.

This Tier 3 had to be killed first!

...

Seeing Suren's invisible living corpse finally revealed, the members of the two great families should have breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had planned many battle plans targeting this Black Scythe.

For example, human wave tactics, control tactics, revealing powder...

The scythe could only cut once, and many Tier 2 professionals could avoid it as long as they were careful.

With so many of them charging together, they could always find an opportunity.

After all, the intelligence said that this Suren was just an ordinary Tier 2 who was a little faster.

But...

Now, was that golden figure who used "Sky-Stepping Steps" to charge in still a normal Tier 2?

Moreover, with the living corpse who had obtained the pocket watch, even Tier 3s had a leg cut off. Who could stop him?

Also, who the hell brought this pocket watch?!

Now that they had created a monster, who could solve it?

The items were naturally brought by some members of the Umbrella organization.

They also realized that things seemed to be getting big and out of control.

But they also felt wronged.

They had no idea that they would encounter the SS-class wanted criminal Suren here!

...

Suren charged all the way, and people avoided him like the plague wherever he passed. No one dared to take the risk.

With a weapon of mass destruction like the Black Scythe in hand, anyone who blocked him would die.

Those below Tier 2 didn't even have the qualifications to block him.

Suren quickly rushed to the severed foot, picked up the bloody foot, and then took out a black [Voodoo Doll] and smeared the blood on it.

Then, with a hard slap, the doll shattered.

In a nearby prison cell, the "Wind and Thunder Sword King" Nero, who had originally planned to hide and ambush Suren, groaned.

Suren's ears twitched, and he immediately identified the precise location. He raised his hand and slashed over.

The spatial rift swept across, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of brocade being torn.

There was another "pop" sound in the air, and Suren appeared in front of the prison cell.

However, at the same time, a fierce sword energy shot out, cutting the figure that had just arrived in half.

Nero looked at the puppet on the ground and smiled miserably.

So strong, and so cautious. Even in a head-on battle, it would be very difficult for him...

With a knife in his abdomen, and his internal organs severed, he no longer had the strength to fight.

With this failed ambush, he would no longer have a chance.

Suren ended the life of the Vice President of the Hunters Guild, a veteran powerhouse who had been famous for many years.

Walking into the prison cell, devouring that ball of gray mist, the red light in his eyes was like a burst dam, no longer able to be suppressed.

He walked out of the prison cell and returned to the previous passage.

The members of the two great families had gathered together, seemingly planning to fight to the death.

Suren wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he greeted the empty prison, "Mr. Gerald, if you don't make a move, I'm going to kill them all?"

These words sounded a little strange to others, but after three seconds of silence, a response came, "Kill them if you want. Anyway, even if I make a move, these trash won't survive."

Just then, a middle-aged man with glasses walked out of the darkness.

ps. Writing was not smooth, sorry for the late update.
