The Tiger Skullbreaker lay on the ground, desperately swinging its sword, making one last effort to resist and prevent the two from getting closer.

"You should capture a Fakeslave, too. It has the power to defeat Rocky," Enyama thought as he intended to take this Skullbreaker with only one arm and leg remaining. Suddenly, something strange happened.

The severed limbs gradually turned into powder, until the entire Skullbreaker completely disappeared, scattering in the wind.

"Damn! Even such a minor injury is fatal. What a waste of effort," Enyama lamented, staring at the powder floating in the air.

Back on Edan's side, he questioned the Skullbreaker, "Do you understand the human language?" The Skullbreaker stood with its head lowered, remaining silent.

"Why did you react to Uncle Ching's shout? Answer me!" Edan's words grew more agitated.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ5hfBTlrK
The Skullbreaker still didn't respond, looking at the fallen Ching.

"Why do you monsters pretend to understand us? Could it be..."

Edan didn't continue, as a blade emerged from his chest, and blood flowed down like a fountain. It was a sneak attack from the Tiger Skullbreaker, which had approached from behind.

"Phew, that was close..." The Tiger Skullbreaker unexpectedly spoke, and in human language, no less. "So, are you shaken?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5kibYTWIq
"I'm not. I was just moved by that hot-blooded idiot. Your left hand..." Enyama responded in the same human language. The Skullbreaker, hidden under a black robe, also replied in kind. It removed the black robe, revealing a helmet made from the skull of a Weleagle.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZiBBivwSl
A Weleagle was a bird-like creature with a robust predator's physique. Despite its large size, it was agile, with a pair of massive claws that could easily tear apart animal limbs, and another pair of claws on its wings for terrestrial movement. Due to its weight, it couldn't fly in the sky but could glide.

Tiger Skullbreaker examined its severely scorched left arm. "That red whip lady crippled it. I'll have to find someone to fix it when I get back."

At this moment, countless particles flew over and gradually merged with the Tiger Skullbreaker's body.

"Let's retreat; they've already noticed, and they'll be here soon." Then, the two Skullbreakers moved in the direction of "Paradise," disappearing into the forest.

After a while, Enyama was the first to arrive.

"Ching, why..." He saw Ching, who had no severe injuries but showed no signs of life. However, there was no time to grieve because he sensed that Edan still had a faint breath.

Fortunately, Edan was using his remaining strength to "ContQi," slowing down the bleeding. "Finally... you've come..." he looked at Enyama and managed to utter some numbers.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhkvt0jBdM
"Don't talk. Focus on 'ContQi' to preserve your strength. Once we get back to the city and find that kid, we can get you treated." Enyama lifted Edan, grew wings on his back once again, and then used his white iron hooves to step forward. His figure disappeared instantly.

While moving at high speed, he noticed Edan's breath gradually weakening. "Hold on, Edan! Please, you have to hold on! If I can't even save my own son, I'll be unworthy of inheriting the 'Blade Fist' title from that man!"

Enyama roared and increased his speed to the maximum, like a white beam piercing through the forest toward Grandecy. This was his SelfalterTalent, "Final Sprint," allowing him to sprint at several times his usual speed but unable to change direction during the run.
