Fourth Prince's Debauchery Chapter 639: One VS Many (2)

Chapter 639: One VS Many (2)

In the universe, the most common requirement to recognize someone as an [Irregular] is to surpass the limits of the world.
'Irregulars' doesn't receive that name because they are powerful. After all, not all the worlds are the same, and in the same way, the limits of every world are different. In some worlds, the limits are so low that even someone with strength equivalent to the tenth layer in this world can be considered as having surpassed the limits.
Instead, 'Irregulars' receive that name due to their potential.
Someone able to surpass the limits of the world is someone that forged his own path when there was no more path ahead. Only the most talented and determined people can accomplish something like that.
Then, what about the twenty-three people in front of me?
True, right now, their power is certainly above the limits of this world. If I have to give them a rank according to this world's cultivation, then I would say that their power is around the seventeenth layer.
However, in the end, that power is not theirs. They did not use their own abilities to get it, but it was given to them by someone else instead.
Although they are strong, they are no worthy of the title 'Irregular'.
In fact, despite wielding energy equivalent to the seventeenth layer, some of them are barely stronger than a fifteenth layer practitioner!
Then, how twenty-three fake Irregulars possibly face me, an 'Immortal'?
If I want, I can even kill all of them in an instant.
Unfortunately, I don't dare to do that.
I know that these twenty-three people are the pawns of [Bringer of End]. He has some kind of plan with them.
There is the possibility that by killing them, I will trigger whatever he wants to do.
Of course, there is also the possibility that me doing nothing is what he wants to see.
Thus, my best bet is to be careful, but without being too afraid.
"Marana, Akilah, Raven, you should retreat first. I will take care of this." I transmitted my words to the girls' minds while I avoided the attacks of the twenty-three powerhouses.
Marana, Akilah, and Raven hesitated slightly, but in the end, they nodded.
"Be careful, boss."
"Don't die, idiot."
"Good luck, big brother."
"It looks like they are worried for me, huh." I smiled wryly and shook my head.
Just then, one of the twenty-three powerhouses' attack reached me. He slashed with his sword, creating a powerful sword wave that seemed to cut heaven and earth into two.
I used my sword to block it. Then, I avoided an arrow shot from another powerhouse and a sword of fire that suddenly appeared above me.
"Hahaha, could it be that you only know how to run, little brother? Why don't you come to face us!?" Alan laughed in disdain in an attempt to provoke me.
I'm planning to do that, big brother.
Rolling my eyes at Alan's cheap attempt to provoke me, I checked on Marana, Akilah, and Raven.
Mm, it looks like they managed to leave safely. Moreover, they took the men of Eternity's Fangs with them.
Then, it's finally time to act.
Looking at the twenty-three enemies in front of me, I smiled.
Just then, one of them stabbed towards me with his spear.
"Die!" He shouted, his eyes snickering at me in a teasing manner.
"I guess I should start with you then." With a calm voice, I finally started my counterattack.
Before the spear-wielding powerhouse could react, I grabbed his spear.
The powerhouse froze in surprise, and at that moment, I moved again.
Taking one step, I appeared in front of him. Then, I extended my right hand forward.
The spear-wielding powerhouse panicked and tried to avoid my hand, but to his surprise, he discovered that his body could not move!
I had locked the space around him, freezing his movements.
"Bastard!" I heard Alan roaring in rage. At the same time, I saw several powerhouses rushing to attack me to rescue their friend.
However, I just smiled in disdain.
With a thought, the space between them and me expanded one hundred times its normal size, making it impossible for them to reach me.
Then, I calmly gripped the neck of the spear-wielding powerhouse.
"Let me see," I spoke at the terrified spar-wielding powerhouse as I sent mana inside his body in an attempt to see through [Bringer of End]'s plans.
But, as expected–
"It's useless, huh."
I was not surprised.
I had already checked one of these powerhouses last night, and the only information that I got from him was that they had only around one month of life left. I failed to find any clue about the plans of [Bringer of End].
It was the same this time.
"Well, now that this method failed, I guess my only option is to try by trial and error, huh," I murmured to myself. Then, I looked at the powerhouse in my grasp and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, but you will have to die here."
"S-Stop, P-Plea-…"
*Crack!*
Tightening my grip, I crushed his neck.
It was as easy as crushing a bug. No, perhaps it was even easier.
But to my surprise–
"Nothing happened." I frowned.
Yes, nothing happened.
I was expecting some kind of change after killing one of [Bringer of End]'s pawns. I can't believe nothing happened.
He simply died, his lifeforce banishing completely as his mana and energy leaked out of his body slowly.
Just like a normal death.
There was no explosion, no flames, and no strange attack as I was expecting.
Damn, what the hell is [Bringer of End] planning?
With a dark expression, I looked at the remaining twenty-two powerhouses.
After watching how I easily crushed the neck of one of them, they were looking at me with expressions of dread and terror. In fact, they were so terrified that they did not even dare to attack me.
Seeing them like that, I smiled.
"I guess I need to try again then."
I don't believe [Bringer of End] will be able to remain calm if I kill all his pawns.
