"So, are you going to tell us what you're going to do?" Gaya asked the second Vandan's figure disappeared from their sight.

"I'm not going to do anything" Everyone stared at Michael bewildered as Gaya tilted her head like a confused puppy.

"Are you fucking with me Ghost, there's no way I'll let that motherfucker take our money!" Michael patted Gaya's shoulder to calm her down

"Accidents happen, Aelia, Accidents happen" after saying this, Michael turned towards his room and walked to his room but before he closes his door, he stopped for a moment

"I'm going to cultivate, don't disturb me" He then closed his door leaving everyone with the question 'what did he mean by accidents happen?'

Inside his room, he sat in a meditation posture and closed his eyes. When he opened the system, he checked the host window

"System, I need a vial of chloroform"

[why don't the host buy herbs and brew it yourself?]

The system sounder angry as Michael realized the system is still holding a grudge for not buying the Devil's breath from the store. He didn't know whether to laugh or yell at the system for throwing a tantrum

"Oh don't be like that system, this time I'll buy the chloroform from you"

[200 badass points]

"Take it" Right after, a vial with colorless liquid appeared in his hand.

"Is that bastard really cultivating?" from the other side of the door, Michael could hear Gaya mumbling and saw her gawking through the keyhole. She was probably wondering when he was going to jump out of the window and chase after Vandan. However, Michael still sat there with closed eyes and sending a stream of air with chloroform mixed in towards Gaya.

Since Chloroform had a distinct smell and Gaya had an acute sense of smell, he made sure the amount of Chloroform he vaporizes and sent towards her is limited. Eventually, when the sun disappeared below the horizon, Gaya fell asleep on the ground due to the effect of the chloroform.

"Sorry snakey, this is something I have to do alone"

When he was about to stand up and jump out of the window, the system stopped him

[does the host plan to put on your new suit of armor and kill Vandan?]

"As a matter of fact, I am"

[Then you should do one last thing Host]

****************************

Amidst fark woods far away from the Sunrise sect, a small party of men was navigating through the path not by sight yet by their memory. Around them, the dark woods stand as noble black knights, fresh from the fields of legend. Although the sound of heavy downpour reverberated the forest, the thick canopy prevented the rain from bestowing its full wrath on the group.

Despite the rain and the darkness, the group kept moving through the woods.

"Lord Vandan, do you really think that kid has no backing? Without major power behind him, how the hell did he reach the 5star level?" It was Vandan's group, they would always use the jungle and thick forest as their preferred route instead of roads. That way, no one could follow them and guess where they were going.

"I'm positive that he has no major backing, Remus. My guess is, he stumbled upon a heavenly treasure and used it to reach the 5star level. There's no point in asking how he reaches that level, that's not our concern. As far im concerned, he's our golden goose, we shouldn't kill it but patiently take its golden egg one by one"

"What if he runs away from the sect?"

"Then we will kill the male disciples and sell the girls to the slave traders, girls like Claire would fetch us a sizeable sum of money"

"After we each take turns with them" the bodyguards and Vandan laughed evilly without knowing the danger upon them.

"Typical" Vandan and his group's steps halted by a sudden unearthly voice.

"What?!"

"What is that?!"

They immediately took a defensive stance and looked around. There was fear in their eyes because the voice was not of a human but it sounded supernatural and frightening.

"It's not dying" the creepy voice echoed through the forest again.

"Who the fuck is that?"

"Come...come out"

"That scares vermin like you" they had no clue where the voice was coming from but they were sure it did not belong to a human and that's what scared them the most.

"But the moments before"

"It's up there!" they noticed branches above them swaying and they all looked up branch to branch but the darkness of the forest prevented them from seeing clearly.

However, they all could vaguely see a dark shadow jumping around from branch to branch like a big spider monkey.

"That scares the most"

"Get down...you...fuck!" Vandan yelled looking up. His legs couldn't stop shaking in overwhelming fear.

"I'm here" Vandan and his group jumped back in fear when the voice sounded very close to them. Their bodies shook violently as overwhelming fear lowered their senses. Slowly, they lowered their heads and saw a humanoid figure standing before them.

The figure had mysterious black armor and a black hood covered its face but they could vaguely see the skinless face. Through the holes in the place where eyes should be, they saw two red lights staring at them. They felt like their very souls were looked at.

"Who...what...are..you?" None of them couldn't sense its cultivation level.

Vandan and the bodyguards agitated when they saw the figure raising its hands at them.

Zzzzzzzzhhhhhhhhhhhh

Another unearthly sound emerged from the figure as cracks of lighting coiled around its hand.

"What?!"

"Ho!"

The weapons they had in their hands flew directly at the figure without their control. They tried to hold back their weapons such as swords and spears but an invisible force seized the weapons from them.

The weapons landed on the figure's feet as it slowly stepped towards them.

"De...vi...l" the red eyes, terrifying face, and the ghostly voice made them think of the devil they heard in the stories. (Not the devil of Earth but this world's devil)

"Devil, hahaha" the figure's evil laughter echoed through the forest. Vandan was the weakest of the group so when he heard the laughter, he wet his trousers.

"You're right, welcome to hell"

"Ahhhhhh!" Vandan screamed as the figure disappeared from their sight but in the next moment, he felt something warm splash on his face. He turned to see Remus's headless body clumsily move around for a moment before collapsing onto the ground.

Right after he saw Remus die, the figure appeared next to another bodyguard and crushed his head with its bare hand. The figure struck the fear of God in their hearts and plummeted their senses and courage. Every time the figure disappeared and appeared again, a bodyguard died a horrible death.

Vandan's instincts told him to run without looking back but his legs refused to move. When the figure snapped his last bodyguard's neck like a twig, he threw the dead body away and turned its gaze towards him.

Vandan stumbled upon a log and fell down as the figure walked towards him. Each step the figure took forward made Vandan's heart pounce against his chest.

"You...and...I" the figure spoke looking at him "are... in the same...line...of work" the figure paused every time for a moment before speaking the next word

"You collect debts'' the figure came upon him and lifted him by his neck. Vandan's legs floated on the air as he struggled to breathe through the figure's grasp.

"I collect... souls" The last thing Vandan felt before everything turned black was the sharp pain right between his eyes.

Throwing aside Vandan's dead body, the figure looked around to see its handy work. Then the figure gaze landed on the tree log that Vandan stumbled, its slowly walked at the log and crouched beside it.

On the log, the figure etched the letter 'L' using its sharp claw.

At this exact moment, coincidently, a bolt of lightning struck the nearby and following the lightning, a loud thunderclap echoed through the forest.

******************

(Somewhere else in the Elon Continent)

A lonely figure sat atop the mountain peak, eyes closed. The onshore breezes climbed the mountain slopes until the air became cool enough to condense its vapor to rain and showered the mountain peak and the figure. The man's golden hair fluttered in the icy breeze and his face was a symbolization of peace and serenity. He seemed calm as a peaceful river.

Yet, his peaceful face suddenly showed an expression of concern as he abruptly opened his eyes.

"An Evil has born"
