While the battle was ongoing, both Mwana and Kia had already sat down comfortably on the grass. They had already embraced their role as spectators. After all, the ‘big men’ had arrived so there was no reason for little children like them to keep pushing themselves.

A dull grey sword strike rushed towards the barely alive werehyenas causing them to scream in fear.

While Jiwe Maraduni held back Barbarian Bull Queen, Jua Mkata-mwezi aimed to clean up the battlefield in the quickest way possible.

Slash!

Blood spluttered.

“Big broooooother!”

The younger hyena brothers cried out as they watched their big brother block the sword for them.

Although Speedman used his spinal Dark Devil Spear to partially block Mkata-mwezi’s attack, a giant gash was left on his torso extending from his left shoulder to his pelvis. The sword cut was so deep that it looked as if it would have bisected him diagonally in two if it went any deeper.

Badum! Badum! Badum!

Through the gash, one could even see Speedman’s heart beating rapidly. At the same time, a river of blood escaped from the wound spilling everywhere and dying the ground red.

With this one attack, Speedman could no longer keep fighting and dropped down to one knee.

However, although filled with fear, his younger brothers struggled with their injured bodies and formed a triangle around their older brother to protect him.

“You bastards! What are you doing right now?! This is not an enemy you can face! Get the hell away from here!”

“We cannot leave you. Where would we be as brothers without you?”

“You disgraceful brats! You choose now to be disobedient? Leave now!”

“Such brotherly love, how touching, but it is too late to leave now.” Even Mkata-mwezi was surprised by the spirit of brotherhood he was witnessing between these half-beast half-human were-creatures.

Swiiiish!

Mkata-mwezi once again swung his oversized icy sword towards the brothers. It was a simple slash but each of his enemies knew that their life would be forfeit if it landed on them.

Boom!

At the critical moment, Speedman used his last burst of power to push away his three younger brothers from the center of the blow. Naturally, he was not so lucky having to face Mkata-mwezi’s attack head on.

A horizontal slash appeared on his stomach causing his guts to spill out like a ball of thread that was unravelling as it rolled on the ground.

At this horrifying sight, although Kia remained relatively unperturbed, Mwana almost wretched his guts out. Blood and bones were tolerable but intestines?! No way.

Witnessing such cruel means, Mwana finally understood why the kind and amiable Mkata-mwezi he knew was also labelled “the Sword Demon” by those who had seen him in action.

When this horizontal slash was added to the previous diagonal slash, the hyena man looked like he was about to split in four.

Despite all these injuries, Speedman still tried to turn back and escape since his brothers were no longer in range. However, he was not so lucky this time.

As he rushed away from Mkata-mwezi towards his brothers, the tip of a sword emerged from the front of his chest.

“Aaaaaaarghhhh!”

“Roaaar!”

The moment Speedman’s eyes went black he could hear his brothers’ angry roars from the distance as they rushed back towards him.

He wanted to scream at them and tell them to turn back, to run away, that this was not an enemy they could handle, that it was too late for him, but he could not even move his mouth.

Speedman had been pierced through the heart!

In the pitch black darkness of human consciousness, only Speedman’s inner voice remained.

“My magical energy is fading away.”

“Sigh, it’s over.”

“In the end, I could not even save my brothers.”

“What did I ever even achieve in life?”

“Was it all worth it?”

“I’m tired.”

In the outside world, Speedman’s body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, from a burly half-man half-hyena to a skeletal man with grey scattered hairs. This was the unique power of Jua Mkata-mwezi’s sword – the Devil Reaper Bone Sword.

Devil Reaper was a sword that had the ability to suck magical energy and life energy from Mkata-mwezi’s opponents to strengthen itself and its wielder.

The sword was silvery white and gave off an icy feeling. Although it looked as if it was made by some type of crystal-like metal, a closer look revealed that the body of the sword was forged using some type of bone. However, what creature these icy bones came from was unknown.

Nevertheless, based on its name, this was a sword whose main purpose was reaping the lives of devils.

“Big brotheeeer!!!! You beast, we will kill you!” Seeing their elder brother’s tragic fate, the remaining three hyena men screamed in raw pain and anguish as they rushed towards Mkata-mwezi in a frenzied fury.

“Now I’m the beast? Look at yourselves.”

In response to their anger, Mkata-mwezi could not be bothered or shaken. How can he be scolded by a group of inhuman creatures who drink human blood and eat human flesh.

“No one can escape!”

[Devil Reaper – Blood Bone Technique]

“That is a supernatural technique!” Kia exclaimed with some shock.

“Naturally. As a Silver Guard permanent recruit brother Moon naturally has an exception card even if it is the lowest 5% card.”

Mwana already expected Mkata-mwezi to have a card given his status.

Although trainees were not anything special, it would be a bit ridiculous if thugs could get their hands on exception cards but actual silver guard recruits could not. Even Mwana did not think Milele had degenerated to that level.

“I won’t let you.”

At the last second, Barbarian Bull Queen knocked away Jiwe Maraduni and rushed to intercept Mkata-mwezi’s deployment of his technique.

“Too late!”

Plunging the Devil Reaper sword into the ground, Mkata-mwezi lifted his face to grin at Barbarian Bull Queen.

The next moment, the entire world seemed to have turned silvery white as a metallic cold invaded the space.

A boundless sea of mercury seemed to envelop the entire world.

In an instant, everyone's heart sank; whether it was Barbarian Bull Queen or the remaining brothers, their hearts were filled with uneasy palpitations. Even Mwana and Kia almost forgot to breathe despite the fact that the technique did not target them.

Wherever everyone’s eyes passed, all they could see was a cold metallic icy color, their surroundings filled with thick blood-like mercury which greatly hindered their movements.

The sea of mercury was also filled with a strange force that suppressed the flow of energy through their bodies.

All of Mkata-mwezi’s opponents seemed to have fallen into a huge muddy pond that they could not find a way out of.

Instantly, they all banded together and took defensive measures while searching for an exit from this world.

Mkata-mwezi had disappeared from their sights, but the silvery-white sea was still filled with his aura.

He seemed to be everywhere!

Inside the thick sea of mercury, a number of sword dragons took shape and began circling around the enemies, each one exuding a chilly dangerous aura.

In the next moment, the dragons all attacked at the same time like a dozen meteors falling from outer space.

Unsurprisingly, none of the injured hyena men could withstand the killing domain for long as the silver dragons rushed into their bodies peeling their skin, flaying their flesh, crushing their bones, sucking their marrow, swallowing their organs, and drinking their blood.

The pain was simply indescribable.

Before they could even release their tormented screams, the three brothers completely ceased to exist in this world.

No amount of regeneration could save them from this horrific fate.
