Chapter 39: The Troublesome Howard

“What a fast speed!”

Seeing Howard dodged his Holy Light Bomb, Hubert was a little surprised.

Although the holy Holy Light Bomb was not as fast as the bullet, it was not slow either. Howard was able to detect and dodge the Holy Light Bomb in such a short time, which was enough to tell that his speed was not ordinary.

Hubert was very experienced in combat. After seeing Howard dodged his attack, he did not hesitate and directly threw the Holy Light Shield in his hand at Howard.

In such a narrow space, and the Holy Light Shield was so huge, no matter how fast Howard was, he wouldn’t be able to dodge it, right?

Hubert thought.

However, to everyone’s surprise, just as the Holy Light Shield was about to hit Howard, Howard suddenly disappeared.

What was even stranger was that Howard appeared behind Hubert in an instant.

Howard stretched out his two hands and clawed at Hubert’s back.

Howard’s hands were like eagle claws, with long, sharp, six-inch-long, black, hooked nails.

The black nails were so sharp that they could penetrate an inch-thick, homogeneous steel plate.

Howard’s favorite thing to do was to pierce the enemy’s body with his nails and then rip out the enemy’s heart.

At the end, he would eat the enemy’s heart in front of the enemy.

This was his greatest humiliation to the enemy.

Howard had the same idea for Hubert.

As for the fact that Hubert was wearing armor, he completely ignored it.

In his opinion, an ordinary armor that was less than half an inch thick, could not stop his sharp nails at all.

And the instant disappearance just now was his innate skill, which could instantly move from one place to another as far as his eye could see.

He even gave this skill a domineering name: Instantaneous Movement.

Instantaneous Movement, which was basically teleportation, coupled with his invincible sharp nails, was his ultimate skill to defend himself.

With these two skills, he had already killed six level 2 elites, countless mutant monsters, and his hands were stained with blood.

In his opinion, Hubert would become one of the dead souls under his claws.

However, when his fingers touched Hubert’s back, there was no sensation of penetration. Instead, there was a feeling of hardness.

Howard felt a huge force coming back to his body.

“Hiss –”

Howard took a deep breath and tried his best to endure the sharp pain from his fingers.

He looked down and found that his joints were bleeding due to the intense force. The sharp nails that he was proud of had cracks on them.

“How is this possible?”, Howard’s eyes were full of disbelief.

He could not believe that Hubert’s armor had blocked his fatal blow and even cracked his invincible fingernails. How was this possible?

If Hubert knew what Howard was thinking, he would probably laugh on the spot.

The God Forsaken Armor was an armor that had participated in the war of the gods. Even if it had only broken the first seal, it was not something that a monster like Howard, who had barely reached level 3 by devouring other monsters, could break.

Hubert did not dare to turn around and attack Howard, because that would be too obvious and too slow. He was afraid that Howard would use Instantaneous Movement again to leave.

“How do I kill Howard?”

Hubert’s mind spun quickly.

Got it!

An idea came to Hubert’s mind. A Holy Light Sword appeared in his hand, but this Holy Light Sword was held upside down.

Hubert stabbed the Holy Light Sword from his armpit to his back. Then, the Holy Light Sword suddenly extended two meters and pierced through Howard’s heart.

“Uh…”

Howard looked at Hubert in disbelief. He stared blankly at the long sword that pierced his chest. He could not believe that Hubert’s long sword could extend and pierce through his chest.

“You, how did you do it?”, Howard’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. “Why can your sword stretch out? Why can’t my sharp claws pierce through your armor? What exactly is going on?”

“Do you want to know? Go to hell and ask Satan. See if he is willing to tell you.”. As Hubert spoke, he turned the long sword and crushed Howard’s heart into pieces.

“Cough, cough.”, a smear of blood flowed out from the corner of Howard’s mouth.

“You, you actually dared to kill me. The organization behind me will take revenge for me. They will pull you out of the ditch you’re hiding in and hang your head on the flagpole. Your relatives and friends will also be killed.”

Howard said hatefully.

“Oh? is that so? which organization is behind you? Tell me the name and I’ll see if I know.”, Hubert asked.

In the five years of his previous life, he had heard of too many organizations. He wanted to see which organization was so ruthless.

“Hehe, are you afraid?”, Howard laughed dryly. “The organization behind me is, is…”

With a plop, Howard’s body fell to the ground.

“He actually died at the critical moment.”, Hubert could not help but frown.

Not knowing the organization behind Howard made him a little uneasy.

“If Howard is dead, who else would know Howard’s secret?”

Hubert thought.

Suddenly, Hubert’s gaze fell on Richard.

At this moment, Richard was tiptoeing and quietly moving toward the door.

“Where are you going?”, Hubert asked.

Plop. Richard was so scared that he directly collapsed on the ground.

Swoosh!

A sword light flashed, and Hubert’s Holy Light Sword landed on Richard’s neck.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”, Richard shouted.

“Tell me the name of the organization behind Howard.”, Hubert said expressionlessly.

“I, I don’t know.”, Richard said with a trembling voice.

“You are his son, how can you not know about him? Do I look like I’m easy to deceive?”, Hubert asked with a sneer.

“His affairs have always been kept secret. If I wanted to ask him, he would tell me. Now is not the time for you to participate in these things. So, I really don’t know anything.”, Richard said quickly.

“So, you’re useless?”, Hubert said and handed the Holy Light Sword forward. The sword pierced Richard’s neck, and a trickle of blood flowed down.

Richard felt the was coming after him.

The fear of death made him shout, “I’m still useful. I have another piece of news!”

“What news?”, Hubert stopped the sword.

“If I say it, will you let me go?”, Richard asked.

“You don’t have the right to bargain now. You can either say it or have your head cut off. My patience is limited. I’ll give you three seconds to consider. Three, two…”, Hubert said as the Holy Light Sword in his hand was ready to stab forward again.

“Speak, I’ll speak!”, Richard was scared out of his wits and shouted loudly.

“What secret?”, Hubert asked.

“The secret room. There is a secret room in the study. My father kept all the important things in it. I didn’t know this secret, but I only knew it by chance.”, Richard said quickly.
