Chapter 179: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (43)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (43) ༻

Blood erupted like a fountain from the demonic beast’s decapitated neck, drenching the earth in a warm, red shower and enveloping the area in its piercing, metallic smell.

-Fwooosh!

The hatchet belatedly reappeared as it sliced through the air in a beautiful arc, leaving a rain of blood in its wake.

Beyond the curtain of blood, a man could be seen driving his blade into the forehead of a demonic beast when another pounced at his back.

Unfazed by the sudden ambush, the man withdrew the blade and ruthlessly thrust his sword into the scapula of the intruding demonic cat with mechanical precision.

Piercing right through the beast’s gaping mouth, the bladepoint gleamed in a silver aura as it effortlessly cleaved through its brain and peeked through the crown of the head.

Then, without a moment’s pause, the man charged towards the surrounding beasts that had their jaws agape in shock.

A silver line flashed through the air with every swing of his sword, followed by the sure death of a nearby beast. Then, raising his arm and gripping the hatchet that just returned to his grasp, the man swung down, demolishing another skull.

Blood and cerebral matter splattered as flesh and bone fragments burst out, painting a surreal scene of brutal carnage.

Young Lady Lupesia found herself captivated and blankly staring.

He was strong.

He displayed skill unimaginable for a man who was only recently in the lower-middle ranks among the third-years of the Knight Division.

His quick, decisive movements and the pure, unadulterated violence ensnared the two women.

The agonized yowls of the beasts called forth more of their kin from the distance, and as the beasts approached, they bared their fangs and growled menacingly at the man who was silently standing still while soaked in the blood of their kind.

It was at that moment that a small cat descended from the sky.

Deducing its identity from its whirling pupils, Emma urgently called out to Ian.

“Ian, be care-!”

However, her warning was interrupted by a roaring explosion.

The cat was faster.

A maelstrom of scorching light enveloped the man as a cloud of dust rose and obscured the area.
