Chapter 1520: The Prey Has Taken The Bait - Part 3

Oras kept his calm on the surface, but he panicked deep inside. His heart was beating furiously as the fear crept in. It was a space where he could not see anything. The worst part was that he tried to use his domain as well, but his strongest domain could not overpower the domain he was in.

"I hear your heart..." the gentle voice echoed and that caused Oras to jump on the spot. The gentle voice came from all directions. There was no way he could find who just spoke.

Oras used his skills, going on a rampage. He aimed in all directions, hoping he would hit Zara. But it was proven futile. The darkness still engulfed him.

Throwing the thought of fighting, he turned around and ran in one direction. If he could not fight it, he tried to run. He knew it was stupid, to think of running in his enemy's domain. However, he was at the end of his wits. He did not know what to do anymore. This was just his desperate attempt to keep his life.

Just as he thought he would be trapped in this darkness forever, he returned. He was in the same spot where he was pulled into the unknown domain. His vision returned and the first thing he saw was his friend.

His friend had it worse. His skin was burned to crisp, his eyes and mouth wide open even in his death. The fear before dying was apparent in his friend's facial expression. Even in his death, his friend was suffering.

That was the first thing he saw when he returned. The first thought in his mind was to escape, run. He did not care even if it meant exposing his back to the enemy. He must escape and report everything to Sir Amos. Sir Amos would avenge his friend's death.

But soon Oras realized his body did not listen to him. His body did not turn around, and his feet did not move. He froze on the spot until he looked down, noticing his skin had turned black. He was no longer in his transformation skill. From the neck to his toe, all turned black.

What remained in his body was the black skin and the bone. He panicked, not knowing what happened to him. It was as if his body was dead. He was about to scream, but he saw the fallen angel descend from the sky, right before him.

His mouth froze in fear, realizing death was coming for him. There was no chance for him to escape, let alone to avenge his friend. Even the thought of sending a report to Amos did not come to his mind.

"What did you do to my body?" That was what came out of his mouth. At least, he wanted to know what happened to his body.

"I am not your kind angel."

His vision turned dark right after that sentence. Zara severed the neck right in between the black part and the normal skin. There was no blood coming from the body, just from the head. The blood in the body was dried out.

"Where are they? Why still no report until now?" Amos' voice echoed in his room.

His voice was calm, but his expression was dark. He lost all his juniors except for the three in the top ten ranking. As if losing Timo Alain Woodgate was not enough, he lost almost all future God Ranks right under his watch. It would not end with just a small punishment. The family who lost their descendants might come for his life.

"Where are they!?" He raised his voice in the room, losing his patience. If the table was not broken down already, he might smash the table into smithereens. It was almost an hour since he sent Oras to check on his juniors. It was almost an hour, and he had not received any report. Then he realized that Oras might be chasing after Tang Shaoyang who was chasing Niere, Tiyana, and Gerda. The three remaining Vigamaur Members in the trial.

Amos checked the three names in the member list and was relieved after finding out their names were still there. If he lost those three as well, he might really lose his life. Without a second thought, he sent messages to the remaining three and recalled them back.

He did not tell the three the reason why they had to come back right now. If he told them, the three might stay outside to fight Tang Shaoyang. He could not afford to lose more people than now.

Frustrated by waiting for the report, he opened the Communication System to send a message to Oras. But soon he found out the name was no longer on the list. It only meant one thing if the name was no longer on the list. It meant that person died.

Amos' eyes widened in shock, and could not believe that Oras would die. He could not believe a greenhorn like Tang Shaoyang was capable of killing Oras.

"Did a Rank 9 Calamity get him?"

That was the only possibility for Oras' death. He did not want to believe Tang Shaoyang got Oras. It was not until he heard flurried steps from outside his office. Someone was coming to his office.

He looked at the door as the door opened. It was his subordinate, coming to his room in panic. The man was stupefied when he saw the table split into two and the room was a mess. Then he met with the ferocious eyes behind that table. That calmed him a little bit.

"This is bad, Sir Amos. Oras and Shirkan are dead. A participant called Tang Shaoyang brought their heads back..." With all his courage, he managed to report what he saw.

Shirkan was the second Admin Helper that came with Oras. Both were dead, and Tang Shaoyang brought the head as if a trophy, parodied around the city. It was not a secret that killing the Admin Helper and Administrator was also rewarded with points. However, no one would dare to kill the Admin Helper and Administrator. That was the same as declaring war against the overseer and their helpers. But it seemed like there was one lunatic in this batch.

Once more, Tang Shaoyang's face came into Amos' mind. Not just the face, but also the threat. He remembered each word, echoing in his head. The threat was not empty. Two Admin Helpers could not take down a single participant.
