The entire hall had gone silent as everyone gaped at Gray Ghoul’s head in disbelief. It all
happened so fast that they didn’t have time to process everything. No one expected Dustin to kill the invincible Gray Ghoul in mere seconds and with just a single strike.
“I-Is this for real? He killed Gray Ghoul?”
“He ended Gray Ghoul with one strike. Who is this monster?”
“What terrifying sword skills he has. Since when did someone like him exist?”
After finally realizing what had happened, the crowd burst into whispers. Gazes of shock, dismay, and disbelief were shot toward Dustin.
They thought it was the end for Dustin when they saw Gray Ghoul swinging his sword at him. But not only did Dustin survive, he even defeated Gray Ghoul effortlessly. How terrifying!
They also realized that the choices Dustin had so proudly laid out earlier had come true. “I-impossible! How is that guy so strong?” Caelus’ eyes widened in disbelief. He always viewed Dustin as a weak nobody who was no match for the notorious Gray Ghoul.
“Who knew that he’s actually so strong?” Ivy and Maria exchanged shocked looks.
Even Caelus had lost to Gray Ghoul. If Dustin could cut Gray Ghoul down with a single strike, didn’t that mean he was more powerful than Caelus?
The two ladies couldn’t help feeling embarrassed for their rude words earlier. They never thought they’d be looking down on someone far stronger than them.
“I knew he was powerful!” Abigail jumped excitedly
“He’s awesome!” Ruth’s eyes twinkled, just as in awe of the man as Abigail was.
“That’s my man!” Natasha smirked proudly. She’d been worried when she saw Gray Ghoul’s attack. Fortunately, Dustin was strong enough to come out of it unscathed.
After a few seconds, Gray Ghoul’s decapitated body gradually toppled to the floor with a thud. It caused a cloud of dust to rise into the air.
“Gray Ghoul!” the group of masked killers exclaimed furiously. They never imagined that this invincible man would meet his demise so suddenly
“How dare you kill him! You’re dead meat!”
“Everyone, we shall wipe out the Harmon family to avenge Gray Ghoul!”
Battle cries echoed as each of the masked killers fished out a black ball and smashed it into the ground.
One by one, the balls burst apart on impact, and black fog wafted into the air.
“Watch out for the poison!” one of the martial artists cried out.
Everyone else immediately paled. They covered their mouths and noses frightfully.
“Natasha, lead everyone out of here. I’ll take care of this!” Dustin swung his sword. A burst of light
parted the poisonous gas, drawing a safe path.
“Hurry up!”
Natasha hurriedly gathered Mr. Robinson and the rest and ran out. She knew that they’d only be a burden to Dustin if they stayed behind.
“Caelus, we should run too!”
Ivy and Maria quickly lifted Caelus and followed Natasha. With their current condition, their best bet was to run away to stay alive.
As soon as they walked out of the door, the poisonous gas engulfed the room once more. Several martial artists tried to run away but were swallowed by the gas and began wailing in anguish.
