When Elijah noticed shockwaves and the mana storm were getting weaker, he stopped feeding his mana to the barrier and let the other nine hunters take charge.


    At the same time, he noticed Adam was moving towards the dungeon portal.


    Elijah''s eyes zed with killing intent and he charged towards Adam.


    But before he could reach him, his body suddenly stiffened and his agility dropped by more than forty percent.


    "You Bastard.." Elijah roared out in anger and looked at Rocky who was some distance away from him.


    Currently, Rocky''s purple burning eyes were grey in colour and he was using his skill ''Petrifying Gaze''


    ---) Petrifying Gaze: Your gaze can turn living beings to stone.


    Because of the power difference between Elijah and him, Rocky couldn''t turn him into stone, but reducing his agility was not a problem for him.


    Seeing Adam was about to reach the dungeon portal, Elijah''s eyes turned red from anger. The next second he took out a Halberd from his storage ring. The Halberd was shaking and glowing in blood red light.


    The moment Elijah took out the Halberd, killing intent filled the entire wilderness. The nine hunters who came with Elijah shuddered and fear shed in their eyes. The blood flow inside their body slowed down and they felt a strange force invading their bodies, trying to control their blood. All nine of them used their mana to try to stop the invading force but realized even with the help of mana, they couldn''t stop it.


    Rocky and Adam were not affected by this because there was no blood in their bodies, and Elijah already seemed to know that.


    "Die" Without caring about the nine hunters who were panicking, Eliajh shed the Halberd towards Adam who was just a few metres away from the dungeon portal.


    Bzzz!


    When Elijah shed, the red light around the Halberd intensified. At the same time, a dark sh, that was zing with red and ck mes went towards Adam.


    "Arghh" "Arghh" - - - -


    When Elijah shed with his Halberd, nine painful screams rang out and all the nine hunters whom Elijah brought with him lost some of their blood after Elijah''s attack.


    The area of one kilometre suddenly turned red and ck, and the smell of blood engulfed the surroundings.


    Adam who was about to enter the dungeon felt like he was standing in the middle of the sea of blood and rm bells started to ring inside his mind.


    Before he could react to danger, the dark red sh that was zing with red and ck mes tore through the space and arrived just behind him.


    At thest second, Adam increased the gravity around him to the maximum limit possible, changing the moving trajectory of the Halberd sh.


    The Halberd sh sank down a little because of the increased gravity, and instead of severing Adam''s head, it severed both of his legs.


    Although this was not the result that Elijah wanted, he still sighed in relief thinking that losing both of his legs would at least stop Adam from going inside the portal.


    But Elijah was greatly mistaken!


    As a shadow undead, Adam didn''t give a sh*t about losing his legs. Unlike normal people or monsters who would feel pain after losing their limbs, Adam just felt his body weight reduced a little.


    He used gravity maniption to decrease the gravity around him, and before his body could fall to the ground after losing his legs, he bent forward and showed his great skill of handwalking.


    Elijah was stupified seeing Adam didn''t react much after losing his legs and was still moving towards the dungeon using his hands.


    He wanted to attack once more but


    Kukdukoo!


    An angry rooster call reverted throughout the wilderness and the temperature of the surroundings increased greatly.


    All the hairs on Elijah''s body stood up to no end and he quickly looked at Rocky whose entire ck body was now covered in a strange multicoloured fire. A multicoloured me orb was spinning in front of his mouth and powerful waves of destructive energy wereing out from it.


    ---) Cosmic Fire st (Unique Skill): The ultimate ability of the Cockatrice wyvern, it channels the power of the cosmos into a massive explosion that can obliterate anything.


    Adam was just a few metres away from the dungeon portal, so Rocky''s small distraction was enough for him to aplish his goal. He pressed his hands on the ground, and using the force generated by it, jumped inside the deep red portal.


    When Adam''s body touched the portal, a red light shed and he disappeared inside the portal.


    Elijah also realized what happened, but before he could vent his anger, Rocky made his move and shot the Cosmic Fire st.


    But instead of shooting it toward Elijah, Rocky shot it towards the other nine hunters whom Elijah brought with him.  Although Comic Fire st was one of his most powerful skills, Rocky still knew that it wouldn''t be enough to take down Elijah who is an S rank hunter, so instead of wasting it on him, he decided to take down the remaining nine hunters.


    Because of the bacsh that all the nine hunters received when Elijah used his Halberd, all of them were still absent minded and were not able to react on time when Rocky shot the cosmic fire st at them.


    When they realised the danger of the st and wanted to protect themselves, it was already toote.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    An explosion of multicoloured cosmic fire filled the wilderness, Elijah created a blood barrier to protect himself but the barrier was not able to handle the power of the explosion and he was sted away. He coughed out blood and crashed to the ground with some minor internal injuries.


    But the other nine hunters who were targets of the cosmic fire st were not lucky like him.


    Although they tried to protect themselves, all nine of them were still reduced to ashes by the cosmic fire st.


    Elijah''s blood started to boil because of anger when he saw this. Not only the base he was protecting was destroyed but all the hunters who were stationed there were also killed.


    As if that wasn''t enough, Adam who was just an A rank hunter sessfully entered the dungeon even though he tried to stop him.


    He looked at Rocky with intense hatred and a blood red aura appeared around him. The Halberd in his hand started to shake and before Rocky who was in mid-air could react


    Woosh!


    A blood red light shed and Rocky''s rooster head was severed. Elijah who was on the ground a moment ago appeared high in the sky holding his Halberd.
