Chapter 168 Chapter 168- Operation: Behemoth (Part 9)

Landing inside the conference room, Kaya, Eva, Elvi, Lola, Taylor, Arthur, and Zero looked around them.

The first one to step forward with a wide grin was Zero as he looked at all the Executioners menacingly.

"Hahahahahaha, n.o.body died! Yes, f.u.c.k yes!! Good job preserving your lives, c.o.c.kroaches. Now, I can personally kill you!!" He said.

"Leave some to me too, Zero. I'm feeling cool now!" Elvi said.

"You two idiots will get yourself killed. Not that I care." Taylor interjected with a gloomy expression.

The Executioners stared at the group in disbelief. It didn't take them long to recognize who these particular 5 people were.

The most shocked one was especially V. His eyes widened to the extreme. 'Archangels… What the h.e.l.l are Archangels doing here?!' He almost wanted to wipe his eyes thinking he was hallucinating.

"Shocked, are we?" Kaya stepped forward and said with a smile on her face. However, no one could see that smirk behind the mask. "You guys really self-destructed, huh? I'm quite shocked at how easy it was."

'I'm not really shocked. My darling is the smartest person to ever exist after all~ He played with them like a toy.' She thought in her head with a giggle.

Then, she looked back at the huge tiger head that was chewing the humans inside silently. For someone who had seen Kaya's ability for the first time, it would seem rather weird, and even logic-defying considering the fact that monsters didn't exist in nature.

However, for Kaya's ability, that tiger head was in fact not a monster or even an animal for that matter. Her main talent is to summon animal parts that she can use to fight. Things like heads, claws, legs, and other things.

In the wrong hands, this ability would be quite useless. But, through training and smart use, she turned it into a scary ability that can decimate tens of enemies with a mere thought. In fact, with a small amount of Origin, she was able to easily dispose of 5 Executioners as if it was nothing.

"What are you doing here?" V asked with a cold tone, trying to hide his panic.

"I'm sorry to be the one saying this. But, we're here to deliver the finis.h.i.+ng blow to the Guild." Arthur said with a small, gentle smile. The way he spoke was so kind that people would think he was talking about donating money to the poor.

"That's nonsense! Is Divinity trying to start a war?!" V retorted.

"War? What war? The Guild is done for. Look around you, every single individual that made the Guild who it was is already dead. You killed all of them. Lol, so stupid~" Lola said with a casual expression.

Clenching his teeth, V looked at the Executioners.

"Kill them…"

Some felt hesitant at first since their conditions weren't good at all. Most of them died and the rest were heavily injured and now they have to fight five Archangels and two unknown individuals.

Slowly but surely, the looming end started to appear in their heads.

"It's far from over! Don't let me down now!" V yelled as he stepped forward, flaring his Origin.

"I'm going to murder each and every one of you!"

At the same time, far away from the castle, on a building looming over the Evernight city. A dark figure sat on the edge, eating what seemed to be a bag of potato chips.

"It's about to begin. Oooh, I'm so excited!!" The dark figure said as he continued eating before he licked his fingers and put the bag to the side. "Before that, let's make it more fair and square. Seven against 14."

Saying that, he put his hand on the ground. Immediately, a huge amount of dark matter spewed out of his hand and dripped on the ground before it started moving as it slowly descended the building and approached the castle.

When it entered the place, it moved straight toward the heart of the castle before it created a huge puddle there.

"Shadow Prison." The dark figure murmured with a smile.

Instantly, everything s.h.i.+fted.

The black puddle suddenly exploded into huge pillars of darkness that grew at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, piercing through layers upon layers of the castle's structure until they reached the top.

Then, the pillars started expanding as they circulated around the castle, interconnecting with each other in a web of darkness that cut the castle into pieces.

Inside the conference room, the shadow walls twisted and turned, cutting through the room as they enclosed all the people inside the room.

"What the h.e.l.l?!" Eva's eyes squinted as she instinctively jumped back. A few seconds later, the shadow doors enclosed completely around her.

Looking around, her eyes rested on the other side of the shadow cage. It seems that she was entrapped with two executioners.

The same happened to Kaya and the others. Each one of them was trapped with two executioners.

'f.u.c.k… What is happening?' Kaya thought that it might've been Kai at first but she quickly realized that this power wasn't something that Kai had used before. And even if it was his, why would he entrap them like this?

It didn't take her long to realize it. A third party had done this.

Approaching one of the walls, she touched it. The moment her fingers landed on the wall, they sunk in as if they touched a rubbery surface. The moment she tried to pierce through it, the wall would expand and move like rubber, not getting damaged at all.

'What a weird material… Is this supposed to be a shadow?' She thought to herself silently.

*Swish* *BANG*

Suddenly, a gunshot echoed in the room as a bullet flew toward Kaya's head. However, without even looking, her head tilted to the side, avoiding the bullet with ease.

"Don't even try. Guns won't work on me." Kaya said coldly as she gave the woman that shot her a glare.

"What… She wasn't even looking…" The woman with the code name 'S' murmured as she put the gun down.

"Just give me a second to figure out what the f.u.c.k is happening and then I will kill both of you," Kaya said as she turned around again.

Her nonchalant att.i.tude made the two Executioners feel angry.

The other Executioner, who looked rather very young with a bow on his back glared at Kaya. His code name was 'C'.

"S… We will attack her at the same time… Don't drop your guard."

Kaya finally turned around, facing the two of them, and said. "Ok, enough thinking. Let's finish this."

***

Meanwhile, in another section of the building, Kai had just entered one of the corridors through the elevator, only to find himself entrapped inside a black cage of shadows.

His eyes squinted slightly as he examined his surroundings. n.o.body knew what was going through his head.

Then, his eyes landed in a particular direction as if he was antic.i.p.ating something. A second later, the wall broke down as a figure flew toward him.

With a simple sidestep, he dodged the flying body.

*BANG*

Smas.h.i.+ng against the wall, the figure landed on his face.

'Noir…' Seeing the bloodied state of the man, Kai's face frowned slightly.

He knew this man from back when he was in the Guild. He was renowned as 'Agent 2' and one of the strongest swordsmen in the world. His sword 'Devine' was also a cursed Origin Artifact of the same caliber as 'Wretched Heart'.

Yet, here he was, lying on the ground, on the verge of dying.

*Step*

The sound of footsteps echoed in the halls as a figure emerged from within the rubble. Resting on his shoulder was a black sword.

Finally, Kai's eyes turned to look at the reason.

"Black… Phantom…" Grey uttered those words with great malice.
