Chapter 462 The Massacre
It was Pharaoh, also one of the Novem Stella Warriors. Without a moment of hesitation, Nathan fled deeper into the forest. Seeing that, Beerus launched into action, slashing his cross-shaped sword in the direction Nathan vanished.
Nathan, who was running, felt a sharp pain in his back. He was wounded by the attack, and blood flowed down his skin. I can’t keep battling. I’ll definitely die if I do that.
“He can’t get away. The captain is already tracking him down. We’ll be able to locate him in at most three hours,” Pharaoh informed Beerus in a foreign language.
After a moment of silence, Beerus suddenly glanced at the edge of the no man’s land and said, “There’s a foreign army approaching! Kill them all!”
On the edge of the forest was an army dressed in black special forces uniforms. They belonged to the Collins family.
The Collins family, one of the Ten Prestigious Families, had sent out their elites to rescue Nathan. The leader of the troop was Finnley Collins, an Octo Stella Warrior, and also Lana’s elder brother.
The Collins family was weak and was in danger of being removed from their position as one of the Ten Prestigious Families. If it was not for Nathan and Finnley who guarded the northern border, their family would have fallen ten years ago.
That was why Nathan must not die.
Finnley led a troop consisting of three thousand and two hundred elites from the Collins family into the no man’s land to rescue Nathan.
However, he felt as if he and his men were being targeted by a beast as soon as they entered the forest. When he looked up, he saw the moonlight shining on a man who stood on top of the tree, watching the former like a ghost.
It was Pharaoh, a Novem Stella Warrior.
Finnley immediately sensed something was amiss. If it were a different Novem Stella Warrior, Finnley might be able to negotiate. With Pharoah, Finnley would not even have the chance to do so.
Pharoah was a cruel, heartless, and bloodthirsty man who disregarded human lives. He was even in the top ten of the International Ranking of Assassins. Moreover, he was one of the figures on Yorksland’s bounty list. His head alone was worth one hundred million.
“Retreat!” Finnley roared.
Alas, the order came too late. Before the three thousand and two hundred men could even react, Pharaoh had revealed the most horrifying side of him.
A black steel wire shot out from his back, twisting and curling in the air like a snake. Immediately after that, it unfolded. It was impossible to tell how long it was.
With a whoosh, the black steel wire straightened and started attacking the elites.
Swoosh!
That marked the beginning of the massacre. The steel wire was a few thousand meters long. It drilled through the heads of the Collins family’s elites one by one as if putting pieces of meat on a skewer.
Finally, over three thousand people were strung together on the wire and floated in mid-air.
Finnley’s eyes turned bloodshot at the sight, and his body trembled.
More than three thousand people… over three thousand lives. All of them were private armed forces trained by the Collins family. And now, they were murdered in the blink of an eye.
After completing his mission, Pharaoh let out a creepy laugh and waved his right hand. Immediately, Finnley felt an excruciating pain in both of his legs.
He lowered his head to find out the cause of the pain. Before he could even react, his knees were already pierced with the steel wire.
He fell heavily to his knees and bellowed, “Kill me if you dare!”
Despite that, Pharaoh merely smiled, stretched out his arms like a bird stretching its wings, and disappeared into the distance.
Finnley glanced at the aftermath around him and started bursting into tears. He understood what Pharaoh’s actions meant.
The latter wanted Finnley to continue bringing people over for him to kill.
Pharaoh wanted to turn that place into a hell on earth.
At that thought, Finnley turned on his phone and yelled into it, “I’m Finnley Collins from the northern border. We’ve just entered the warzone and were wiped out as soon as we encountered Pharaoh. Everyone is to stop the rescue! I repeat, stop the rescue! Don’t send any more people into the northern border warzone. I’m afraid all the odds are against Nathan now. If Pharaoh’s here, then Beerus must be here too.”
