Chapter 618: Decimus vs Ouroboros
Sugar’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the deep crater left by Decimus’s attack. The terrifying destructive force had ripped apart the earth, shattering stone and soil and leaving a smoking pit behind.
The two-headed ogre shivered inwardly, knowing that even with his formidable defenses, taking that attack directly would have caused devastating injuries or possibly killed him outright. The worst part was that he did not detect anything until the attack landed.
Sugar silently thanked the white werewolf, Ouroboros, whose timely intervention had spared him such a grim fate.
However, gratitude was quickly pushed aside as Sugar’s instincts reminded him they were still amid a perilous battle. His eyes immediately snapped upward, locking onto the imposing figure of a man with dark hair hovering in the sky.
Decimus, the scion of the Zanis Family, stood there imperiously, dagger glowing ominously with sinister flames of shadow. The arrogant cultivator looked down on the battlefield as if he were a sovereign judging the weak from above. Yet beneath that confident veneer, Decimus was deeply shocked.
Throughout his life, Decimus had assassinated countless Sages using this shadow-dagger technique. It was neither raw destructive power nor overwhelming strength that made his attack terrifying—it was the sheer stealth and unpredictability of his strikes, thanks to his Laws.
No one before had ever anticipated, let alone avoided, his hidden attacks. But Ouroboros had somehow sensed the incoming danger and reacted with impossible swiftness, saving not only himself but Sugar as well.
This revelation struck Decimus with unease. A talent like the white werewolf, who could evade his stealth attacks and respond at unimaginable speeds, was an extremely dangerous existence.
While Ouroboros would undoubtedly be valuable to Graecia and the Golden Sky Fortress in its ongoing struggle against the Vorometallicae Race, Decimus had no intention of allowing such a threat to persist.
