The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 365

Chapter 365

Galeart, who was supposed to be heavily wounded and couldn't even get up on his feet, dashed out to that big tree like the wind .

Kieran was faster, or should it be said, he was prepared for this .

He grabbed Mary with one hand and the box with [Arrogant Word] with the other and arrived at that big tree a step ahead of Galeart .

As soon as he reached the big tree, he swung the box in his hand .

Bang!

The sturdy and heavy box smashed hard on Galeart's raised arm . The impact stopped his maddened dash and made him stagger behind . Kieran didn't even spare a window for Galeart to breath . He pulled out the dark red greatsword and slashed it down onto Galeart's skull .

Wuuuu!

The raging, air-breaking howl blasted Galeaet's white hair and beard . He started to wobble under the pressure of the strong wind . Although, a fraction of a second before [Arrogant Word]'s sharp edge slashed his skull, he dodged it with a sudden flash of movement and retreated at least 10 meters away .

Mary, who was behind Kieran's back, had already squinted her eyes to the scene .

Even though she was a child in the public eyes, her mother's education and her early matured thinking allowed her to hone her intelligence far above her peers to an unimaginable level .

The scene before Mary made it clear to her what happened .

"Galeart! It's you who killed mother!?" Mary yelled .

Galeart kept quiet, not because of guilt or missing words, but because he couldn't speak .

He was dragged back after that flash dodge by an unaware spider web that was latched on his left arm that was covered with bandages .

Kieran, who was controlling the other side of the spider web, pulled hard out of a sudden .

Galeart's body was suddenly sent flying towards him even though the body seemed so buffed .

At the end of the line where Galeart was flying towards was the sharp edge of [Arrogant Word] waiting for its victim .

Chang!

A cold light flashed in mid air, following which, a thin, narrow sword appeared from his waist to his hand, slicing towards the spider web .

Ding!

The spider web, which should be soft and easy to cut loose, had a defensive power that far exceeded Galeart's imagination . He thought the spider web would be easily cut off, but instead, he failed to . It even produced a metallic screech when his blade collided with it .

There were no chances for Galeart to escape from the spider web as the dark red blade edge appeared in front of him again .

Though the slash missed its target .

Galeart's body suddenly twisted like a snake and swirled away from the blade edge, arriving before Kieran . He was shooting off killer intents from his eyes at Kieran who was meters away from him . Galeart was eager to tear Kieran to pieces since he was the one who ruined his plans, and so he did .

The thin narrow sword was even more nimble than a whip . It was twisted in mid air and the sharp tip of the blade split from one to ten, stinging towards Kieran's eyes, throat, heart and abdomen .

When Kieran saw the complicated attack, he didn't make the effort to dodge it and allowed the attack to land on his body .

After a cry from Mary from behind, only she noticed that the blades didn't even touch Kieran's body, but were stopped by a formless force-field barrier .

[Primus Scale]!

The powerful, defense force-field protected Kieran from the complicated sting .

"Because of the swift attacks, he split the power from his sting?"

"What about the force-field barrier?"

Mary tried her best to analyze the situation, but all she got was another cry from herself .

Her cry couldn't even cover the vicious laugh from Galeart .

His ten blades combined into one and lunged forward like a comet, aiming for Kieran's throat .

It was fast! Faster than the reaction from a common man . And that sting was not only fast but had quite the power with it as well .

Mary's sharp senses made her feel certain that Kieran's force-field barrier wouldn't be able to withstand such a sting .

"Be careful…"

Chang!

A loud chime similar to a giant bell ring overpowered the girl's reminder .

No one could tell when, but the dark red greatsword had arrived before Kieran, becoming a sturdy shield, blocking away the deadly sting .

[Greatsword Blocking]!

Not only did Kieran block the sting, the thin narrow sword was also sent flying off Galeart's hand by the shock of the impact .

[Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms] Transcendence effect [Shock]!

Galeart seemed to have anticipated it beforehand . After he was disarmed by the shock, he neglected his right arm that was numbed by the shock on impact of both weapons and quickly retreated backwards .

Even though he clearly saw that the spider web effect from [Mardos Arm, Spider Webbing] was still sticking to his left arm, he didn't change his actions .

Then, just as Galeart predicted, Kieran pulled the web hard again, dragging him back with a force that he couldn't resist, though he was not panicked at all .

"DIE!" Galeart shouted .

Galeart then used the force of pulling from Kieran and threw himself into the air, launching a barrage of kicks at Kieran .

Ssss, Ssss, Ssss!

His legs turned into a two-headed venomous snake . Not only did they produced a wicked hiss, the kicks were also mixed with speed and strength that Galeart didn't show before .

Galeart's signature move was his kicks!

The [Sword Skill, Fast Sting] from before was just a cover up during his usual times . It was just that the moves of his opponents couldn't make him activate his ace card .

Now? It would be the most appropriate timing for him to do so .

A vicious smile appeared on Galeart's face . He was eager to see Kieran being kicked to death by his proud kicking skills . Following that was the time for harvest .

Going undercover in Swusters Castle for 10 unsparing years, was this not his goal since the beginning?

Wealth, Power!

Everything was within his grasp!

Then, Galeart had a glimpse of Kieran's smile, a one-sided smile filled with mockery .

An unknown terrible feeling flooded Galeart's heart, but his confidence in his ace card suppressed the feeling down .

"You are still playing tricks at the verge of dying? You are as foul as Ellen, that resentful woman! I'll show you what an agonizing death feels like!" Galeart shouted .

It was an insult to Galeart after he was played by Ellen's tricks, tossing him around like a ball .

When he saw Kieran's smile, he unconsciously recalled Ellen's dying smile, the smile that was exactly the same at this particular moment .

This made the rage inside Galeart's heart rush up to his mind . He shouted to cover his insult; at the same time, the rage made his attacks stronger and sharper . He wanted Kieran to die an agonizing death . He wished to break every bone in Kieran's body with his kicks and let Kieran wail to death .

However, before Galeart turned his thoughts into action, he was covered by blooming afterimages of kicks that could cover the sky, like the melting snow under the scorching sun .

When Galeart's kicks came to impact with the stronger, faster, more ferocious kicks, they were instantly defeated and dispersed .

Crack, Crack!

Under the cracking bones, the sky-covering afterimages of kicks turned into a tidal wave, drowning Galeart within .

Transcendence [Hand-to-hand Combat, Kick Combats]!

Master [Barsical Kick, Bide]!

Pro [Hundred Violent Kicks]!

The combination of three skills allowed Kieran to deliver an agonizing death to Galeart in a definitive way .

Pak!

After around 15 seconds, a pile of deformed meat paste fell on the ground .

The meat paste splattered upon impact on the ground, splashing blood all around .

An orange glow appeared on top of the meat paste .
