Chapter 289: The Fiftieth Floor (3)
“Give us your head, you evil cult leader!”
The Hunters swung their swords at me: a slash from the upper left, a strike from the right, and another from behind. Swords rushed toward me from three directions at once, aiming to end my life.
Clang!
I hurriedly held up Shiny and parried the closest incoming attack. “I told you I’m not a bad guy!”
“The wicked cultist wants to talk his way out,” the one who seemed to be their leader snorted with derision. “All of you, don’t listen to him. Lord Mahos said that his tongue is more fearsome than his sword. His words turn the heavens upside down and taunt the earth. He talks like the devil! We might become bewitched against our will, so we must be careful.”
“Who the heck are you talking about?” I shouted.
The Hunters facing me with their swords swallowed hard, their eyes filled with fear.
“That sounds terrifying!”
“He looks innocent and pure, but he’s hiding that kind of evilness as he lurks among us? How scary!”
“Are you all blind?” I screamed.
The battle continued despite the chaos. Mahos’ followers weren't particularly impressive. In the past, they would have been a challenge, but, honestly, their aura mastery was far below mine.
