Corey's eyes flashed with annoyance as he watched his prey get dragged far away from him. He took a step forward, wanting to run after his prey. But, just as he took that step, his expression changed.

He looked down, and he saw thin wires surrounding his body. A curse escaped his lips, and in the next moment, Corey was flung to the wall.

Bang.

Crack

This time around, Corey landed with his two hands on the wall and did not get slammed into the wall like a ragdoll. However, the force of the landing almost broke his arms.

Just as Corey was about to drop to the floor, he saw the wall become dark, and his expression changed.

Multiple shadow spikes emerged from the wall, and Corey immediately vanished.

"Hmm?"

A baffled sound resounded from the large shadow on the wall. In the next moment, the shadow spikes sank back into the large shadow on the wall.

CLAP!

Just as the large shadow was about to move, the loud sound of a thunderclap shook the sewers, and the shadow shook.

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting metal resounded once again, and in front of the shadow were two individuals.

Ariana and Corey.

Corey's pure white eyes were filled with extreme annoyance and frustration as he pushed his dual battle axes with all his strength.

Meanwhile, Ariana's eyes were filled with rage and also indifference as she calmly blocked Corey's axes from moving a single inch forward."Seems you guys really care for one another."

Corey spat with unveiled disgust, and Ariana smiled coldly.

"You're not a tier 2. Who are you?" Ariana calmly asked, and Corey smiled mockingly.

Woosh.

He spun to his right, and just as he did, he saw two extremely thin wires in his previous position and a shadow spike emerging from his previous position. The moment Corey landed, he sent a slash of dreamfire towards the shadow beside Ariana.

Without looking at the result of his attack, he started running. He ran to an 'empty' part of the wall, and he sent out another dreamfire slash.

The instant he sent out the slash, his fingers moved, and three needles blitzed through the air with an uncanny accuracy.

As Corey ran to the spot where he sent a dreamfire slash, the taxi driver was crawling toward his fallen crossbow.

Tears, snot, hate, and fear could be seen on his face as he crawled.

"I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I hate you."

The taxi driver incessantly mumbled, and just as his hand touched the crossbow, his eyes widened to the limits. The blood vessels in his eyes popped like a balloon, and blood spewed out from his nose like a waterfall.

Gahhh

The taxi driver coughed out a mouthful of blood, and a second later, his eyeballs went inside of his head, and his head landed on the ground with a loud thud. By the side of his neck were three needles, and the veins and arteries in his neck turned black.

Step Step Step

"Damn. This guy is truly ruthless as fuck. He's giving you a slow and painful death."

Standing beside the body of the taxi driver was Divine. In his hands were a can of soda and a paper bag of popcorn that only the gods and devils knew where he got them from.He poured some popcorn into his mouth, and then he shook his head.

"Although I'm a kind and loving soul, I cannot help you since I was banned from fighting."

Divine drank a little bit of his soda, and then a light of realization appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, wait. I was banned from fighting. Would helping you still be considered a part of my ban?" Divine pondered briefly then he nonchalantly shrugged. "Mehh. Doesn't matter anyways."

Divine harmlessly smiled, and then he jumped and sat on the taxi driver's back.

"Gahh!" The taxi driver groaned in pain and Divine chuckled. "Let's enjoy the show, shall we? My friend is truly the most interesting person in the world."

Divine softly patted the taxi driver's head, and he threw some popcorn into his mouth with a smile.

Meanwhile, during the conversation between Divine and the taxi driver, Corey is in a dangerous fight with Raphael, the Phantom, the master of disguises.

After Corey launched his poisonous needles at the taxi driver, Corey no longer focused on him and instead focused on Raphael, the person who had been disturbing him with the thin wires.

Corey would have preferred to kill Erik who was constantly hiding in his shadows first. However, he could easily touch and attack Raphael compared to Erik, who was hiding in his shadows.

Or so he thought.

After he launched at Raphael, Corey ran straight toward Raphael, wanting to engage him in short-range combat. But to Corey's surprise, Raphael brought out a pair of pistols and fired them.

Corey cursed, and he quickly rolled to the side. Even though Corey rolled to the side the moment Raphael fired the pistols, he still felt the bullet zoom past his ears, and his eyes widened.

Despite his Eyes of Omniscience and Focused State, the speed of the bullet was still so fast that he could barely keep track of it.

The bullet was also extremely quiet, so quiet to the point that if one did not have unique ears like his, they would not even hear the sound of the bullet being fired and the bullet moving.

'Wait. Did he just fire one bullet?'

'He has two guns!'

Corey's eyes widened in realization, and then, he heard a 'Pop' to his left. As Corey tried to turn his body, his ears heard the sound of an object piercing through his left shoulder and the sounds of blood spewing out of his body.

Before Corey could react, a strange force emerged from the bullet that pierced through his body, and Corey staggered, almost falling on one knee.

Cough

Corey coughed out a mouthful of blood and a curse escaped his lips.

"Son of a bitch."
