Khal, disguised as Cloven, stood motionlessly before Bane with a nonchalant look, his hands calmly clutching Moonshadow and Devil Fangs in each hand.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

While Khal and Bane looked at each other in silence, one with unsurpassable hatred and bloodlust while the other just with plain indifference, several figures clad in black and silver armor appeared around the two, their hands holding different weapons such as swords, daggers, sabers, spears and so on.

"Boss!" a Night Crawler that was clad in abyss black armor with silver markings all over its surface appeared next to Bane, his whole body emitting a terrifying aura that was only just a margin below Bane.

"Boss, we have sensed the earlier shockwave, it must have been the criminal, right? Where is that low-life? I will take care of him without a problem!" the creature asked with an intense gaze as he scanned the surroundings, but when he heard no reply from his leader even after several seconds he raised a brow and shifted his eyes to the side.

"Boss?"

Bane, whose complexion was still full of anger and thirst for blood raised his sword and pointed it at the sole individual before him before saying in a cold and low tone, "He is standing right before you."

"What?!" the crawler immediately snapped his attention to where his boss was pointing, just only to notice one of his comrades standing not far away from him with two unfamiliar weapons in his hands.

"But Boss... It's Clov-"

"Cloven is dead. That's him, disguising himself as one of us! He also killed Quint!" Bane interrupted his subordinate's words firmly, forcing the crawler to shut his mouth in fear he triggers his boss' wrath on himself, but once he realized what he just heard his eyes widened, and shifted his gaze at Khal.

'I-Impossible!'

Such thoughts appeared not only in his but every other Night Crawlers' mind that was in the distance when they heard what Bane just said, turning their gaze at Khal in utter disbelief!

"What? Cloven and Quint have died? That's absurd! How!" Zeke who stood not far away looked startled, not wanting to believe what he just heard.

However, things only became even more unexpected as suddenly a loud, but cold laugh emerged from Cloven's mouth before his body began to change and twist, quickly revealing Khal's true appearance that left many speechless.

"What kind of technique did he use?" Ramin asked with a hint of fear and couldn't help but swallow nervously as he watched the human's transformation in front of him.

'If it weren't for the Boss, I wouldn't even have noticed him! Even those unknown weapons... I thought he has obtained them after killing that human, but it seems...' Ramin felt his heart in his chest getting squeezed by an invisible hand the more he looked at the human figure in front of him, making him realize that his thirst for revenge was becoming more and more far-fetched than he initially believed.

Meanwhile, Khal watched Bane and the rest of the Night Crawlers around him with a cold look while he examined everything in more than a mile distance in his mind with his Heaven's Eyes.

'Close to half a thousand, huh?' Khal curved his lips slightly upwards as he counted the number of Night Crawlers around him, feeling that things will become much more interesting from this point onward.

"Listen here carefully as I won't say this twice again. I want a thousand High-Quality Essence Pills together with a small spaceship and I won't kill any of you here today. You have 15 seconds to accept or refuse, the choice is yours!" Khal said loudly to all hear, but his gaze was firmly fixed on Bane, even showing a slight and mocking grin.

Everyone and everything at that instant became still to the point where a pin's drop could have been heard, but soon, that silence quickly erupted into wild roars and cursing filled with the hint of killing intent too!

"A thousand Essence Pills and a spaceship?! Did he go out of his fucking mind or what?"

"Choose or he will kill all of us?! Is he dumb, stupid, or simply retarded?"

"Know your fucking place, human! A low-life creature such as yourself has no place to demand such proposals here!"

"Yeah! Let's kill him already! We have let him talk more than enough!"

Many Night Crawlers exploded with rage and desire to tear Khal's body to shreds because of his vexatious arrogance and behavior, but alas until their boss had yet to order to fight they could only bare their teeth at Khal in a threatening manner.

Or at least that's what almost all the soldiers present thought and done except a few that didn't hesitate even a seconds before leaping forward with bloodshot eyes, their weapons firmly grasped in their hands!

"Die!"

"Fools!" Bane roared angrily and wished to stop his subordinates before they could get close to Khal, but sadly, he was too late to act.

Khal simply glanced at the five figures in front of him coldly before gently waving his right hand that held the golden scythe.

Swish!

In mere moments that felt like a fraction of a second, all five of the Night Crawlers' bodies split into hundreds of pieces in mid-air, causing split organs, shattered bones, and blood in huge amounts to rain down from above that painted the ground below red and filled the air with the smell of iron!

The sight immediately overawed the crowd of creatures around, forcing everyone that wished to talk to forcibly swallow back the words they wanted to say in fear and horror!

'H-He... He killed five Body Temperers as if they were mere ants!'

The expression of many turned white as a sheet of paper upon the harsh realization, and all of them unconsciously took a step back from sheer horror. It seemed they lastly realized just how grave a mistake it was for them to underestimate the human before them!

Now they finally understood why their boss has yet to move or speak even after such a long time and why did he hold a grim expression at the moment; it seemed he too, a powerful being on the Limit Breaker Stage felt no confidence emerging as a victor if he now clashed with the human before him!

As for Khal, he just stood where he was with a kind of mocking grin that looked rather confident than arrogant and said calmly, "You have only five more seconds...."
