Chapter 306: Ch-306: Attack (5)

Dane, seeing this, turned pale and did not hesitate anymore. He brought out his trump card as scales started to appear around his body, which formed a purple armor around him.

BOOM!

As the lightning axe descended, it was followed by a huge explosion that immediately swallowed the Duke whole in the blast.

"Holy, he has to be dead after that attack, right?" Bianca’s eyes widened as she sucked in a cold breath when she saw the power behind the attack. The citizens hiding nearby also turned pale and watched intently.

"Looks like not," Amanda suddenly said with a frown when she sensed his life force. After the smoke cleared, she saw Dane standing there unscathed, which made her pupils shrink, as even she would have been seriously injured or perished under the attack.

"Did that armor neutralize all the damage?" Rina muttered with a frown on her face. She had seen her husband use this attack and knew how broken this skill was, so she was surprised to see Duke Dane unharmed.

"Oh?" Victor raised an eyebrow, looking at the armor with interest, and thought, ’Looks like this Armor used a large amount of mana to make him immune or neutralize the attack.’

Victor could sense a large amount of mana had been drained from Dane’s reserves, and it was almost empty.

"Huff... Huff... Damn, more than 45% of my mana reserves are gone," Dane muttered with a grim tone as he panted heavily. Victor had completely hit the mark; it was indeed an armor that could neutralize any attack, even a Tier 4 attack, by using a large amount of mana.

Roar!

Dane’s head snapped towards the sky when he saw Grace and Watson returning on top of their metallic dragon.

Dane, in the armor, immediately looked at the husband-and-wife pair and said with unease, "Grace and Watson, why the fuck are you still alive, and where is my family?"

But Watson just gave a mocking laugh as he said, "Oh, that? We just ended the Spark Bloodline with our new mounts. You are the last Spark."

"What?!" Dane’s face lost all color, and his eyes became filled with despair, but much stronger was his anger as he looked towards Grace and Watson and shouted, "Damn, you bitch! I will kill you!"

Dane shouted as he ignored everyone and targeted the couple’s metallic dragons, and an actual dent appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Bang!

Roar!

"Shit!" Grace cursed when she saw the dragon she was riding roar in agony. Even though they were made of steel, they still felt pain like any other beast.

Just as he was about to attack again, his expression changed, and he immediately created a large distance between them.

Rumble!

A black lightning serpent struck where he was standing, and he saw Victor pointing his hand towards him as more black lightning serpents left his palms.

Victor did not give him any chance to react as blue flames wrapped around his sword.

Seeing this, Dane did not hesitate and hurriedly spent his mana to neutralize the attack again.

"Moonlight Descent!"

Victor jumped into the sky and then descended like a meteor towards Dane while swinging his sword.

In the first split second that the greatsword wreathed in blue flames hit his head, the Duke opened his eyes wide as a huge wave of pain and dizziness washed over him. However, this was only the beginning of his true nightmare.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A terrifying explosion shook not only the canyon but also the surroundings, followed by a roar that definitely did not express domination or anger but was instead packed with pain and suffering.

The ground shook before sinking several layers as if the earth and stones were disintegrating into dust, the sky rumbled, and even though he used the armor to block most of the attack, the physical force behind the attacks still injured him.

Dane’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as they opened so wide when all the pain was processed by his brain. The Duke was unable to fight back at all as his head, which stood high in the sky proudly, was abruptly sent towards the ground along with the rest of his body.

At the same time, the armor on his head shattered, and red blood began to slide through it as his flesh was torn apart.

’No, this can’t go on. I need to escape, or I will die,’ Dane thought with pure panic as his mana was almost drained when he used the armor to block the giant Lightning Axe.

Without hesitation, two wings sprouted from his back, and he immediately shot towards the sky, trying to escape.

"Heh, do you think you can escape?" Victor said in a low but angry voice.

Rumble!

Victor also turned into lightning and shot towards the sky after the Duke.

If the Duke’s speed could be considered fast, his speed could only be described as massive and thunderous.

The ground became an indistinguishable blur below him as he pushed his body to the limit, his muscles tensed to the max, and the veins throughout his body seemed to bulge. His mind focused solely on the enemy he would definitely never forgive.

The sound of his heartbeat and the rush of air filled his ears, drowning out everything else.

Dane looked back with a pale face as he tried to push his speed beyond his allowed limits. Seeing Victor’s face getting closer and closer, Dane cursed aloud, "Son of a whore!"

Although the two of them were many kilometers apart, the speed at which Victor was flying was easily at least four or five times higher than his at this point!

Although the two were many, many kilometers away from the Spark Duchy, all of the citizens could clearly see how the flash of yellow light was being chased by a streak of black lightning.

"Got you," Victor said with a smile as Dane’s heart skipped a beat when...

"Ugh!" Dane groaned in pain when a rope made of Black Lightning bound him tightly and pulled him back towards Victor, who looked at him with a smile.

"Hehe, oh, you scumbag. Just wait. I am going to give you a miserable ending," Victor said with a demonic smile that sent chills down his spine.

---

Bang!

Victor returned towards the Spark Duchy and dropped him on the ground like trash.

"You caught him," Amber said with a smile.

"Lord Victor, I have a request. Please hand him over to me. I want to give him a painful ending," Watson said through gritted teeth as he glared at the Duke with hatred.

Victor paused for a second and then agreed. Even though he wanted to kill this piece of trash with his own hands, he still agreed to Watson’s request, as he had a greater right to kill him.

"Fine, but make sure he gets a painful death," Victor said, and Watson gave a smile full of malice.

"Don’t worry, Lord Victor."

Watson then brought out blood-red threads, and the threads immediately pierced Dane’s body.

The moment those threads pierced him, blood vessels seemed to burst out of Dane’s eyes as he was assaulted by unimaginable pain.

"AAAHHHH!" Dane screamed in pain, and Victor looked at the strings with interest and asked, "What are these strings?"

"These are animal-taming strings. They are used to tame the most stubborn beasts. Magical Beasts have a higher pain tolerance than humans, and sometimes my ancestors used them to torture humans," Grace said calmly and looked at the writhing Duke with hatred and satisfaction.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the blood threads surrounding Dane tightened, blood wounds opened up on every inch of his skin, and the clothes covering him began to slowly shred into pieces.

"Ugh... Agh!!!" Dane tried to endure the pain, but after a couple of seconds, the pain of being cut into hundreds of pieces while he was still conscious was too much for anyone to bear silently.

Watson showed no mercy.

"Feeling pain, aren’t you, beast? This is nothing compared to all the innocent people you tortured to death. So, I shall give you a death full of pain and regret," he declared as he held the thread around Dane’s neck taut enough to hurt him but not enough to decapitate him.

"Kill me! Kill me if you dare!" Dane could no longer resist such torture, and all he desired was death.

His skin was cut, his flesh ripped apart, and his muscles torn into thin pieces. The tendons in his body broke as the blood threads dug into his body, and blood began to stain the courtyard floor.

"AAAGH! DAMN IT, IT HURTS!"

At this point, he could no longer be considered a human, as his body was completely dyed red. Flesh and blood were falling to the floor nonstop, and his limbs were about to fall to the spot on the grass, along with his waist, which was practically cut into pieces. The pain Dane was experiencing was so great that he had passed out several times in the process before waking up again due to the pain.

Dane could not reply. He could only scream, scream until his voice became hoarse and until his vocal cords practically broke.

"Too cruel..." Rina could no longer look at Dane’s miserable appearance anymore.

"Cruel? Yes... but he deserves every single second of it," Amber said calmly.

After a few more minutes of torture, the Duke who tortured innocents finally breathed his last.
