Although it didn't reveal its equipment, a strong killing intent emanated from it, forcing Aoino to draw her sword and engage in combat. Blue Weapower extended from her left hand to the sword's tip and her left shoulder, making the blade sharper and also protecting the hand that wielded the sword. Such exceptional control of Weapower was rare even among vice officers.

"This time I'm done for... done for!" The Skullbreaker's intense killing intent was so thick that even Fatber could feel it. He was already so terrified that he was babbling nonsensically. Aoino understood the situation well. She was worried that Fatber might panic and divert her attention from the fight.

"Sir! Please don't stray! Stay close to me..." In the face of this dire situation, Aoino's words were cut short as Fatber pushed her forward. She hadn't expected him to do this, sacrificing her safety to save himself.

"Protecting me is your duty. Give your all to defeat this monster!" He shouted while running away. However, Aoino was already beyond hearing. The Skullbreaker's punch struck her abdomen as she charged forward, her internal organs felt like they were about to spill out. The intense pain caused her to lose consciousness instantly and fall to the ground.

The Skullbreaker revealed a rifle from its long sleeve, not the familiar Firebird Rifle MKIII commonly used by guards. It was a design unlike anything seen before. Aiming the rifle at Fatber, who was on the move, the bullet pierced straight through his forehead from the front and then vanished into thin air, seemingly not an ordinary bullet.

With Fatber's life ended, another figure emerged from the tent's back door. It was the same Skullbreaker as before. Without any visible wounds, only a large portion of its robe had been sliced away, exposing its pants.

The two Skullbreakers exchanged a brief glance and then quickly left without taking any bodies.

After an uncertain amount of time, Aoino regained consciousness from her daze. Seeing Fatber's lifeless body with his head crushed, she rushed into the tent to check on Rocky. She found him lying on the ground, barely breathing, two massive intersecting wounds on his chest armor, and his blood already congealed.

Although the "Ethereal Wall" had disappeared, the sword was still clutched in his hand. Looking at the scene before her and the other guards at the main entrance, Aoino was overwhelmed with emotions, unsure of what to do, and wept at Rocky's chest.

"Naive kid... I'm not going to die just yet..." He weakly comforted Aoino.

"How is it? Seems like you're close to death, huh? Even though you're one of the 'Kingside,'" a disdainful male voice came from behind.

Aoino turned to see a black-haired man with a black headband. Standing beside him was another woman, with a friendly smile. "Ah, greetings, Lord Gravin..." Aoino, amidst her tears, still managed to salute.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdmZJkhvIT
Rocky, though heavily injured, managed a strained smile. "Hey, brat."
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXzqSSLL6
"So, who managed to hurt you like this? Sakura." Gravin pointed to the woman next to him.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEeboVoN2
Sakura approached and placed her hand on Rocky's forehead. She put on a serious expression, her eyes vacant. After three seconds, she removed her hand, her smile returning to her face.

"The guards have been receiving reports of animals going berserk. Sakura and I were sent to investigate, only to find this situation."

As Gravin explained why he was there, several Shaclaws suddenly leapt out from behind. Displaying their claws, they lunged forward. Sakura turned her Weapower into a green scythe and retaliated. In an instant, they all turned into dust and dispersed, just like the Bonerhinos that attacked Shoyo's group earlier.

"Any last words?" Gravin kindly asked Rocky. He managed to catch his breath and reply.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BgRdIDVFI
"Boastfulness... When I became a Huntector ... you were still in your mother's womb..."

Gravin placed his hands together.

"Rest in peace." Four wooden boards emerged from the ground, enclosing Rocky, and then they closed, forming a coffin.

"Sakura, read her as well."
