Looking at the three figures running toward them, the Jackal Chief Beastman and the Guild Captain abandoned every thought of continuing their meaningless struggle.

Only one thought remained inside their minds.

Run!

Whoosh!

Instantly, the duo turned around and fled with the fastest speed they could muster. Their feet smashed against the blood soaked ground while shattered stones exploded beneath every step.

The surrounding buildings blurred past their vision as survival instinct consumed their minds completely.

However, escape was never going to be that simple.

Suddenly, a roaring sand attack erupted behind them at a breathtaking speed, charging forward like a raging tidal wave determined to devour everything in its path.

The violent current shredded the air apart while terrifying pressure descended heavily upon the fleeing duo.

"T This..."

Before they could even blink, the terrifying sand attack had already arrived behind them, ready to rip their bodies into pieces if they failed to defend themselves immediately.

"Fuck this!" The Guild Captain roared hysterically as he twisted his body around to defend against the incoming attack.

Several feet away from him, the Jackal Chief Beastman also halted his frantic escape. His muscles bulged violently while veins protruded beneath his covered skin as he pushed his strength beyond its limit to withstand the horrifying attack.

Bang! Bang!

The duo unleashed their defensive skills simultaneously. Energy erupted wildly around their bodies while the surrounding ground collapsed under the terrifying impact.

Yet, the force hidden inside the sand attack was far beyond anything they could resist without paying a devastating price.

Ahhh! Ahhh!

Soul rending screams exploded from their throats as both figures were blasted through the street like broken dolls.

Their bodies smashed violently into a lone store beside the road, turning the entire structure into flying debris and shattered fragments.

Dust clouds filled the air instantly.

Wooden splinters scattered everywhere.

The walls collapsed completely.

Their injuries deepened further while blood poured endlessly from their mouths, noses, and ears. Their armor and breastplates were already torn beyond recognition. Deep wounds covered their flesh while shattered bones pierced beneath their skin.

Every nerve inside their bodies screamed with unbearable agony. Their minds nearly collapsed under the overwhelming flood of pain assaulting their senses continuously.

At that moment, both men desperately wished to faint and escape the torment consuming their bodies.

Unfortunately, neither dared to lose consciousness.

They understood one terrifying truth clearly.

If they fainted now, they would never wake again.

The Guild Captain bit down viciously on his tongue until blood flooded his mouth. Beside him, the Jackal Chief Beastman growled deeply while forcing himself upright despite the horrifying condition of his body.

Pain no longer mattered.

Only survival mattered now.

Previously, both men believed themselves to be the true rulers of this town and the surrounding desert.

Their words represented absolute authority.

Their commands represented law.

Especially for the Guild Captain, arrogance had long rooted itself deeply inside his heart. With the terrifying influence of the Slave Trade Guild spread throughout the Bleeding Desert, he had never imagined defeat.

Never.

Even the other powerful guilds operating throughout the desert rarely interfered with them directly. Every faction guarded its territory carefully while maintaining delicate balance with the others.

Thus, when the report concerning the Grim Reaper first landed on his desk, he believed the matter would become another simple mission.

The Grim Reaper might have dominated the First Floor, but this was the Second Floor.

This was not a playground where anyone could act recklessly without consequences.

On the Second Floor, survival depended entirely upon powerful factions that had existed for decades.

Among those factions, the Slave Trade Guild stood proudly among the strongest.

Even the Beastman races residing within the Bleeding Desert showed them some degree of respect.

Yet who could have imagined things would develop into this nightmare?

The Grim Reaper cared nothing for rules.

He cared nothing for authority.

Anyone who stood against him simply ended up upon his killing list.

And anyone whose name entered that list never survived long enough to tell their story.

Now, the Guild Captain finally understood why the Grim Reaper had dominated the First Floor so completely.

With such monstrous power, who could possibly stop him?

"I hope the guild makes the right decision..." he thought silently while staggering out from the ruined store.

However, the moment he stepped outside, his body froze completely.

Three cloaked figures already stood waiting directly before him.

Beside him, the Jackal Chief Beastman also halted abruptly. His blazing crimson eyes widened in pure terror while cold sweat soaked his entire body.

Their eyes locked instantly onto the terrifying weapons held by the three figures.

A massive war hammer.

A long black spiked club.

And finally, a gleaming black blade dripping with fresh blood.

Badum!

Their hearts pounded violently against their ribs as overwhelming fear gripped them completely.

Worst of all, behind those three figures towered the horrifying undead Dust Naga.

Its enormous body coiled around the destroyed street while countless serrated teeth glistened beneath the crimson moonlight.

The creature resembled a living nightmare dragged straight from the depths of hell itself.

Whoosh!

The three cloaked figures moved simultaneously.

The hammer rose high.

The club lifted heavily.

The black blade gleamed coldly beneath the bloody sky.

Death descended instantly upon the battlefield.

Danger!

Death!

Their instincts screamed frantically.

The Guild Captain reacted first. With a furious roar, he swung his shattered broadsword desperately toward the incoming hammer strike.

Beside him, the Jackal Chief Beastman unleashed a savage howl while his claws erupted with violent crimson energy. He slashed forward madly toward the incoming club attack.

Boom!

The moment the attacks collided, the surrounding street exploded violently apart.

Cracks spread throughout nearby buildings instantly while shattered stones blasted through the air like deadly projectiles.

The Guild Captain’s face twisted horribly.

The terrifying force hidden inside the hammer strike traveled through his broken sword directly into his arms.

Crack! Crack!

Both his arms shattered instantly.

"Ahhhh!"

His miserable scream echoed throughout the town while blood exploded from his mouth uncontrollably.

The hammer continued descending mercilessly.

Bang!

His chest caved inward completely. Ribs exploded outward while his internal organs ruptured instantly beneath the horrifying impact.

The Guild Captain flew backward violently before crashing heavily into the ruins behind him.

His body twitched continuously, barely alive.

At the same moment, the Jackal Chief Beastman collided directly against the spiked black club.

Boom!

The impact nearly shattered his entire body apart.

His claws exploded into bloody fragments instantly while countless spikes pierced deeply into his chest and shoulders.

"Graaahhh!"

The Jackal Chief roared painfully while blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.

However, despite his horrifying injuries, he still refused to die quietly.

His massive body twisted violently while he attempted another desperate escape.

Unfortunately, the black blade had already arrived before him.

Swiss!

A cold flash sliced through the air elegantly.

For one brief second, everything became silent.

The Jackal Chief Beastman froze completely.

Then slowly, a thin crimson line appeared across his waist.

His blazing crimson eyes widened endlessly.

Disbelief filled his expression entirely.

Thud.

His waist fell heavily across the blood-soaked street.
