    This ‘body’ didn’t spring up suddenly; instead, it moved slowly.


    If one didn’t ce any attention on the ‘body’, no one, including Wilberst and his coborator, who were engaged in battle, would ever notice the slight movements.


    The punch and w collided, causing a st of air upon impact, wreaking havoc across the hall.


    The ceiling, floor and walls were swiftly torn apart after the ss containers and other furniture. A dust storm brewed uncontrobly and clouded the entire hall.


    All traces seemed to vanish in the dust clouds, but both Wilberst and his coborator didn’t mind revealing their location.


    “Cook? Wilberst? This is interesting,” said the coborator in his cold, gloomy voice.


    “Yes, it is interesting. Erbus. K, the revered Marquis K that just came back from the dead. I bet that even the Monster Hunter D isn’t aware that he had killed a substitute, correct? And I never thought my coborator would be a Blood Kin!” Wilberst eximed as if it were really an interesting story.


    But as a matter of fact?


    His body was quietly moving, not towards the ce where Erbus. K’s voice wasing from, but towards the ce where the cone was.


    Compared to fighting Erbus. K, Wilberst cared more about the cone, and he knew his coborator was thinking the same as well.


    Throughout the whole process, Wilberst was very careful.


    The cone had already drifted away from the ce where it firstnded because of the powerful wind, but, even with a thunderous st, Wilberst was able to lock onto the cone’s exact location a moment before the dust storm swept across the hall.


    Ten steps!


    Five steps!


    Three steps!


    Just when Wilberst was nearing the location where he remembered the cone to be before the dust storm, he stopped and didn’t move to take it right away. He waited instead.


    When his nose picked up a stinging bloody stench, he curled his lips into a grin. He infused his power into his right punch andunched it in the direction where the blood reeked.


    ...


    Before going into the coboration, Erbus. K had known its coborator was a cunning and sinister person.


    Therefore, before the sound broke out, it moved.


    It wanted the cone desperately, it had nned for countless years just to get his hands on the thing.


    It was eager and, at the same time, confident.


    Erbus. K knew what its advantages were!


    Speed!


    It had been hiding its true speed!


    Its speed was something Wilberst couldn’tpete with.


    Everything unfolded as Erbus. K expected—it beat Wilberst to the location where the conended and scooped it up without a second thought, but...


    He got nothing!


    There was nothing in the location where it remembered the conending!


    Was it beaten to it?


    Erbus. K was stunned, the aura on its body shaking uncontrobly, and almost out of instinct, it thought of its coborator, Wilberst.


    But before Erbus. K could think of anything else, a ferocious force appeared behind it—


    Wung!


    Wilberstunched the punch that he had been charging up; itnded on Erbus. K’s body like a battering ram sieging a city.


    Bang!


    A sickening, heavy blowter, Erbus. K was sent flying away, its already pale face looking even uglier.


    Based on its speed, it should have had the chance to dodge it, but it didn’t manage to because a formless restraining force bound it the moment he tried to dodge.


    Not only that, the spot where he was punched was hurting him like he was burnt by fire.


    He thought, ‘I am a Blood Kin, but this was set up specifically to target me?’


    Erbus. K quickly reacted to the attack, rage filling its head. Its mouth grumbled heavily and its body that was sent flying did a sharp turnaround in mid-air, sending itself back to Wilberst.


    Its bloody ws shone.


    The ws looked like they were formed from blood; it appeared out of thin air above Wilberst’s head and shed down.


    Wilberst couldn’t help butugh when he saw the bloody wsing down for his head.


    “That’s why I am willing to work with you inhumans! You believe whatever you hear and are easily infuriated! You are nothingpared to a human’s cunning and doubtful nature!”


    Wilberst didn’t move or dodge the iing bloody ws; when the ws truly touched Wilberst’s head, the bloody ws produced a sizzling noise before vanishing into thin air.


    Wilberst, however, wasn’t unscathed either. His clothes were torn to shreds by the bloody attacks, thus revealing a shining silver softmail underneath.


    When this shining silver softmail dazzled, Erbus. K, who had jumped further away, growled in pain. Its body that was in mid-air felt like it was struck by lightning; it quickly retreated to the corridor outside the hall.


    Erbus. K’s retreating speed made Wilberst shake his head in pity.


    He couldn’t catch up with Marquis K—it was an indisputable fact.


    Even though he had made preparations beforehand, all he managed to do was heavily wound Erbus. K, not killing it off.


    “Too bad. If it really was the ‘Silver Sanction’, how could a petty Blood Kin escape like this?!” Wilberst sighed.


    He then heaved a heavy breath.


    Huu!


    A strong gale appeared with his breath, blowing away the remaining dust from the hall swiftly.


    Everything in the hall, including the cone, was within Wilberst’s sight again.


    It was two steps away from where Wilberst remembered it to be, still floating in mid-air. Everything was clear to Wilberst now.


    “The powerful wind caused it to deviate from its original position. Then that Blood Kin beat me to it, but didn’t get it and exposed its presence out of shock.”


    Wilberst’s heart gave him a reasonable answer for the scene that had taken ce. He took the cone.


    The cone looked and weighed exactly the same as the one in his memories, and Wilberst couldn’t hold back his smile.


    “You are mine,” Wilberst said.


    He then walked out of the hall righteously.


    Of course, he knew that Erbus. K was outside, but as long as he had the ‘Silver Sanction’ with him, even though it was only a replica with less power than the original and had a time limit, it was still enough to assure his victory for the time being.


    As for what followed afterwards?


    As long as he obtained the secret in his hand, what was a Blood Kin to him?


    Even the Monster Hunters would no longer be a worry to him.


    He would step up to the clouds and look down on all life.


    The feeling must be great.


    Thinking of the endless fantasy of his future, Wilberst walked faster. He went through the long, narrow corridor and reached the surface again.


    Then, his strides stopped all of a sudden.


    He saw the night of Eiders.


    He saw that darkness that represented chaos.


    He saw an abysmal figure that stood in the dark.


    He saw—Death.
