Zeke and Alfred stood up and surveyed their surroundings.
Not far away from them, five figures appeared and surrounded them.
All of them were extremely thin, with only skin to their bones.
Narrowing the encirclement quickly, they gathered on top of the roof.
When Zeke saw their faces clearly at a close distance, he couldn't help but gasp.
Their features were strange and contorted.
There was one with a nose so big that it covered half his face.
Another one looked ghastly without any eyeballs.
In fact, one of them only had half a brain.
Compared to the five intruders, Old Skeleton was considered relatively handsome.
Zeke mumbled, “Does everyone from the Netherworld look like that?”
Insolence!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis words infuriated Big Nose who was among the five.
Big Nose said, “You ignorant child. You will die for your impudence! However, since you're just a kid, I'll give you a
chance to live. If you kill Old Skeleton and destroy your own powers, I will then spare you. If you don't do as I say, I
will tear you limb by limb and feed you to the dogs!”
Old Skeleton was stunned as he gave Big Nose a puzzled look.
“Big Nose, what did you just say?”
Big Nose sneered, “Hmph! Despite being a member of the Netherworld, you have been captured by a Sun Walker,
tied to a tree, and paraded on it. Therefore, you are nothing but a disgrace to us! Today, I will get rid of you on
behalf of the Netherworld!”
In truth, Big Nose was worried that Old Skeleton would reveal the secrets of the Netherworld to the Sun Walkers.
That was the real reason for killing him.
Old Skeleton was outraged. “You shameless b*stard! I am one of the senior members of the Netherworld and have
contributed significantly to them. And now, you dare to kill me just to shut me up? You have no conscience at all!”
The five intruders from the Netherworld ignored him.
Instead, they stared at Zeke in an intimidating manner. “You... Have you made your choice whether to live or to
die?”
Zeke retorted, “I choose to kill all of you!”
Such arrogance!
The five bellowed, “We have five King Class warriors while you only have two. There's no way you can defeat us!
Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for showing you no mercy. Today, the both of you will be
sent to Hell, together with all the villagers. Even she will join you!”
Big Nose pointed at the window of Alfred's house before laughing insidiously.
Alfred's granddaughter, Jeannie, was peeking out the window at Big Nose.
When Big Nose smiled at her, Jeannie's face lost all color as she caught her breath.
Alfred thundered, “How dare you frighten my granddaughter? I am going to teach you a lesson today!”
Just as he spoke, Alfred charged at Big Nose.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGiven that Alfred had been a King Class warrior for a long time, he was naturally a formidable fighter.
Engaging Big Nose in battle, he easily seized the advantage.
Big Nose yelled, “Hey, Eyeless, help me!”
The man without eyeballs, namely Eyeless, hurried to reinforce Big Nose.
As for Zeke, he and the other three battled furiously.
As he was a low-level King Class warrior, he wasn't strong enough to stand against the combined attacks of three
Netherworld enemies.
Heavily pressured, Zeke was on the brink of defeat.
He cried out, “Alfred, I need your help!”
Right away!
Alfred beat back both his opponents and rushed to Zeke's side. There, he helped Zeke fend off his three enemies.
Pulling himself out of the fight, Zeke began to flee without a word.
Big Nose bellowed, “Coward! You guys take the old man while I will hunt down the young one.”
“Be quick about it!” the other four reminded before focusing on their battle with Alfred.
At that moment, Big Nose chased Zeke around the rooftop.
