Borl knew what kind of person Kieran was.

He was great to his friends.

Enemies?

Describing Kieran as cold and ferocious was considered as euphemistic.

He was the very embodiment of ruthlessness and killing without mercy.

After hearing rumors and witnessing it himself a few times, Borl didn’t think it was too over the top to describe Kieran as such.

So, he knew how he should act before Kieran.

He raised his hands up high and dared not move a muscle. He was afraid he would cause some unwanted misunderstanding, leading to Kieran killing him right then and there.

Borl’s decision was undoubtedly the best one he made in his life.

Kieran didn’t strike him down, all he did was glare coldly at him. Kieran then shifted his gaze at Sin-server further away who struggled to climb up.

The duo before his eyes was interesting.

Borl, a player who had deep connections with the Guardians of the Witch.

Sin-server, one of the ten Supernova only second to the Witch.

According to Lawless, Sin-server was even more of a loner than solo players, his whereabouts were a mystery.

However, he was caught up with Borl at this particular moment.

Without even asking, Kieran knew both of them must have reached some kind of accord.

As for what?

The Witch’s Legacy, or the Guardian organization.

Other than that, Kieran couldn’t think of anything.

At least from the current stages of clues, it looked like that on the surface.

As for beneath the surface? The truth?

Kieran didn’t know. All he knew was Sin-server attacked him, and it was enough.

The coldness blew in the street like a winter breeze.

Being the first to bear the brunt, Borl shuddered in front of Kieran. Sin-server, who stood up with a furious glare, also stopped his intention of charging towards Kieran.

Sin-server clearly felt the killing intent from Kieran. He curled his lips into a cold grin, though.

Although the initial plan differed, he didn’t mind making changes to adapt to the situation.

A faint bloody stench came out from Sin-server, and it quickly filled the entire street.

Borl could do nothing but bitterly smile when he saw both of their auras change.

He didn’t have what it took to stop the fight from breaking out, even if he really hoped both of them would work together with him and resist the real enemy.

Strength was the main melody of the big city.

It had always been like that, and until now, it had never changed.

The thought of regaining his previous strength grew eager in his heart, but Borl raised his hands higher in the air and stepped back.

His intentions were obvious.

Do what you want, don’t drag me into this.

After all, he must live to regain what was his.

If he lost his life? It would be game over for him.

Kieran and Sin-server didn’t seem to notice Borl’s little action, both of their attention was captivated by each other.

Or rather, both of them didn’t even care about Borl from the start.

A good chance!

The figure hidden in the shadow for a while now squinted his eyes.

Then, this figure made his move!

It wasn’t at Kieran, it wasn’t at Sin-server, but at Borl!

A cold flash later, a dagger was thrust towards Borl’s neck.

Before the figure had made his move, Borl didn’t notice anything unusual. It wasn’t until the dagger was almost at the back of his neck that he noticed the danger.

His vast battle experience immediately allowed Borl to understand what was happening, and he instinctively wanted to lean forward, but it was too late.

The dagger was too fast, to the point that even if Borl could react, he wouldn’t be able to dodge it in time.

Sh*t!

Feeling the arrival of death, Borl clenched his teeth in bitterness and unwillingness.

Of course, he felt bitter and unwilling, he had too many regrets and grudges, but before death, everything was fair.

With his death, everything would be over.

Puk!

There came the sound of a blade piercing through flesh, but Borl didn’t feel any pain. Instead, he felt the heat at the back of his neck.

Borl turned around quickly.

He saw that the killer had fallen to the ground and a long narrow rapier was floating in the air. Borl quickly recognized the rapier as [Dandelion Pierce] since he did his studies on Kieran.

Borl then turned to Kieran with a confused gaze.

He didn’t understand why Kieran saved him, Sin-server felt the same as well.

The Kieran before their eyes seemed to contrast with the Kieran they had in mind and how the information described him.

Could it be?

A less reliable thought appeared in Sin-server’s heart as he shifted his gaze between Kieran and Borl, then, something happened.

Kaboom!

A loud explosion went off all of a sudden, even the ground shook ceaselessly.

However, what followed wasn’t a red pillar of fiery light; instead, it was a dense silver radiance.

It was dazzling and eye-catching, Sin-server screamed in agony when he saw the silver radiance.

Correct, he was screaming in agony!

Sin-server, who could easily withstand Kieran’s full-blown kick, fell on the ground right away before the silver radiance. His body was sizzling, and black smoke was erupting from it.

“Kill!”

Two loud shouts later, two figures jumped out from the shadow and dashed towards Sin-server’s flanks.

These two figures didn’t even care about Kieran and Borl because they weren’t the target.

However, Kieran made his move.

Two balls of Devil Flame were hurled out at the sudden attackers after creation. The two attackers were drowned by the Devil Flame without any resistance.

The light from the flame covered the white disintegrating light as well.

Kieran’s sudden attack also made the remaining attackers deviate from their target.

That’s right, the two attackers that Kieran just killed weren’t all of them. Or more precisely, the two attackers weren’t even a vanguard group, they were only the scouts.

Huu!

Multiple nets made with silver iron fell from the sky and landed precisely on Kieran. The nets didn’t just cover him completely, they even blocked Kieran’s retreat.

Further away, a few more dangerous presences locked their gazes on Kieran as well.

Snipers!

But Kieran was more concerned at the spot beneath his feet.

The ground that had just exploded with the silver radiance!

Kieran widened his steps, and his body shifted to an elusive state, hence allowing him to break free from the sniper’s crosshair easily. The nets that should have bound him missed their target as well.

This feat wasn’t possible if Kieran purely relied on Agility, but when combined with the [Dark Movement Technique], it was a piece of cake to break free from bindings.

Boom!

Another explosion went off.

A more dazzling, blinding silver radiance exploded. Split seconds before the explosion went off, Kieran expertly dodged the blast point, but not Sin-server, who was pinned down.

“Aaaargh!”

Another cry of agony later, Sin-server limped down on the ground without any further movements. If he weren’t breathing, he would be no different from a dead person.

A black figure jumped out from the ground and looked at Kieran, who blocked Sin-server behind him, with furrowed brows.

The figure hated people who stood in his way.

Sin-server, on the other hand, heaved a long breath. He knew he’d survive this.

“Than—”

Bang!

Before he could say “thanks,” Kieran raised his foot above Sin-server’s head and stomped down.

As the white light particles floated in the air, Sin-server died.
