THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Their fight continued for a long time with no side gaining any notable advantage, both sides seemed to have entered a game of tag.

Myles was always fast to escape as lightning while dealing out deadly lightning strikes which the undead keeper would always block for him before attacking with its white bandages like octopus tentacles, Karl would always try to use this chance to corner Myles with his speed but he would always be forced to evade and retreat to avoid getting pierced by Gareth's deadly beams.

This continued for hours as white and black blurry figures danced around a red streak of light and super fast red light beams.

The ground below them had been turned into a bloody mess as the amount of dead monsters had formed a large field of corpses and rivers of blood that flowed back into the mirrored gates in the surroundings.

Another hour passed and both sides decided to pull from each other to keep their breaths, although their fights hadn't made any notable progress, they had managed to land some hits and exhaust one another.

Karl stood in the air with an exhausted Wayne and the undead keeper beside him. Karl's helmet was currently gone and one could see that his hair was standing straight as if he had suffered an electric shock.

Wayne was bathed in sweat as he had been expanding a large amount of energy to sustain the presence of the undead keeper and to continuously heal it from the damages that it received, the undead keeper appeared to have lost a few of its bandages and it had multiple burnt marks on its body which were closing up at a very slow pace.

On the other hand, Myles had a few cuts on his body where blood flowed from and dyed his clothes but his expression didn't show that he was in pain and his body was still covered in lightning.

As for Gareth, his nano suit had begun to lose color and the type of weapons that he could create had become smaller.

Both sides stared at each other in silence while trying to assert the condition of the other party.

"This is just stupid and irrational, we won't get anything with this. Don't you old farts have anything else better to do with your time?" Karl hissed in anger and annoyance.

"Looks like you don't understand, old man. It's either you hand over the kids or we can continue this all day" Myles replied plainly like he was requesting vegetables and not a person.

Karl's eyes narrowed, his claw-like hands clenched together in suppressed anger.

"Christopher Myles, you have no connection to Ethan nor do you have any relationship to him, why would you want the boy?" Karl asked in honest curiosity.

Myles shrugged in response before saying.

"You don't understand, their talents aren't something that I can simply ignore. So even if I can't have both, I'm determined to take one with me"

Karl's teeth gritted in anger but before he could speak, a low voice that sent all of them quiet sounded from the ground.

" What's all this ruckus about? I can hear your noises from miles away on the other side" Said an irritated voice.

The voice wasn't loud but had reached the ears of everyone in the area and for some reason, they all felt a chill run through their bodies.

Karl, Myles, and everyone who had come here for the "discussion" stopped whatever they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, in front of a mirrored gate that was surrounded by flowing rivers of blood and corpses of monsters, stood a humanoid creature but its appearance was nothing similar to humans.

Bright red skin, two huge birdlike wings, a face that was akin to the skeleton of a horse's head, and on top of its head were small red horns with flames on their tips. The monster stood at a height of six meters and had smokey purple eyes on its horse face.

It quietly stood in front of the mirrored gate that it had just walked out from and stared at the mess of corpses that littered the place, both of its arms folded behind its back.

Karl and the rest looked at the monster with wide eyes, they all had a single thought on their minds the instant they laid their eyes on it.

They were no match for it!

The monster observed for a while more before raising its head to look at the people in the sky, they immediately felt cold in their hearts whenever the eyes of the monster swept past them.

Myles was the only one who dared to show a disgusted expression toward the monster despite being shaken by the strength of the monster.

"You twelve are responsible for this mess?" The monster questioned as it slowly rose into the air.

Karl wanted to speak but found his words stuck in his throat.

"As expected, humans are always troublesome creatures. These monsters have given up on hunting humans and chosen to stay here but you just can't let them stay in peace and have to kill them. Is killing fun? Maybe I should try it too"

The voice of the monster was so eerie and cold that it made one shiver.

Without waiting for the monster to do anything else, Karl turned around and shouted.

"Wayne!"

As if able to read Karl's mind, Wayne immediately reacted and controlled his undead keeper which turned into a white blur and flashed toward the red-skinned monster.

At the same time, everyone including Wayne turned around and fled; they did not want to know what would happen to the undead keeper, all that they knew was that it would not be able to defeat the monster and at most only buy them time to run.

Immediately, they had covered dozens of kilometers as they fled from the place. At the same time, the undead keeper arrived in front of the monster with its huge arm raised high.

The monster's smokey eyes glared at the undead keeper before looking away.

"Ignorant" it muttered while waving one of its hands in front of it lazily.

Boom!!!

The undead keeper didn't even have the time to react before it exploded into a bloody mist from the casual wave of the monster's hand.

Wayne, who was running with the others, suddenly clenched his chest and almost fell from the sky after being hit by a soul-crushing pain.

This was the after-effect of the death of his undead keeper, the necromancer would feel excruciating pain; this was a sort of measurement to make sure that necromancers did not abuse or mistreat their undead(s)

(An undead creature dying, LMAO)

Despite the pain, Wayne did not dare to stop. This was not due to him not caring about the death of his undead but that he could not afford the price of stopping. After all, he could regrow his undead later on as it did not really die in its entirety.

After killing the undead keeper, the monster spread its wings and was about to go after the humans but suddenly stopped and turned it ahead to look down in the direction of the mirrored gate it had come out from. In front of it stood a young human male who seemed to be in his teens.

No matter how one would look at him, he looked like an ordinary human child in his teens but the monster who had scared Karl and other heads of famous Towers away did not dare act arrogantly in front of this teenager.

"Why?" It asked in confusion.

The teen stared at it with a lack of interest before opening his mouth.

"Don't just go after them and come back immediately" he said before going back into the mirrored gate and disappearing into it, he did not even wait to confirm if the monster would make any unpleasant remarks or disobey.

Seeing the teen act so arrogant, the monster was not displeased in the slightest. It bowed while saying "understood" before descending to the ground.

Only after crossing the mirrored gate and arriving in the dreamscape did the teenager reply.

"Mother's order"
