I thought you would keep following me, Joel said to the men that appeared behind him.
Stop talking like you knew we were behind you, one of the men said. I did see, I was only waiting for you to bring yourselves out, he said.
Then, from the way you are speaking,g like you know all, you should know that I was the one who sent those men after you, the leading man said.
Hearing the shocking revelation, Joel became angry. Although he was not the real owner of the body, he still felt the obligation to kill the one who killed the former owner.
You know I could have spared you before, but now, you leave me no choice but to kill you.
As he said this, the bodies of the howlers dropped to the floor in an arranged way.
Without any warning, Joel dashed towards the three men, but was intercepted by the one leading them. From your strength, you should be Gale Fang, Joel said. I wonder why Bren was so scared of you when you are this weak, he added.
You want to know the reason? Then I shall show you, Gale roared as they charged in for another round.
Gale swung his sword as fast as lightning. Joel sidestepped, avoiding the strike easily.
You can do better, right? he taunted.
Seeing the calm in Joel's face, Gale grew angrier, as he slashed through the air, releasing several wind arcs.
Joel easily deflected them as he counterattacked with wind bullets.
Gale blocked them all with his swords, but was unable to keep up with the amount of bullets and got pierced multiple times by them.
But contrary to what Joel expected, the bullets were unable to pierce his skin.
Surprised, you are in for more, Gale said as he launched towards Joel.
The ground beneath him broke, as he leapt from where he was. His sword slammed into Joel's spear, causing massive fissures that threw the previous two men far from there.
They split and ran into each other again. This time, however, Joel did not opt for brute force and skillfully dodged the strike and pierced Gale in the side.
Joel, seeing his successful attack, immediately flew away from Gale's proximity to avoid his strike.
Joel stood, suspended in the air, looking like a celestial being overlooking the world.
He calmly lifted his hands, and several spears made of wind essence appeared around him. If one looked closely, it would be seen that the rough estimate numbered over a million.
He swung his hands down calmly, and they all launched at Gale at a tremendous speed.
Gale looked at them, and finally had the urge to run away as his entire body was screaming danger, but it was too late.
The spears pierced him from several directions, even his body enhanced by wind essence could not withstand the force.
Joel landed, looking at the barely alive Gale, who was pinned to the ground by the spears from several angles.
You lost your chance to live when you targeted me, Joel said as he took Gale's sword.
Wait, I can help you, Gale pleaded for his life.
Joel just looked at him with scorn without saying anything. With a clean swing, he chopped his head off.
