“So what if I have an ally? Nobody said this was a one-on-one. In fact, I have more coming,” informed Sole Wolf.
Suddenly, a loud voice could be heard from far away. “Here I come!”
A second after that, a mysterious figure jumped up high into the air and landed next to Sole Wolf.
The ground shook for a moment when the figure stormed onto the scene.
“Those young ones are a useless bunch! They can't even keep up with an old man like me,” mocked Ares while stroking his beard.
“What did you say? Do you think you could've outrun me if I weren't bitten by a poisonous snake?” responded an upset voice in the forest.
Whoosh!
Killer Wolf too appeared beside Sole Wolf, and following closely behind him were Alfred, Nameless, and the others.
After glancing around, a few in the group was filled with disappointment.
“It looks like we're too late. We missed the fight.”
“No, we didn't. It doesn't seem like the battle is over yet. We might just get to join in.”
Sole Wolf shook his head and sighed at the group. “It's just too bad that you guys didn't get to see it.”
In response, the group gave Sole Wolf a curious look. “Didn't get to see what?”
“You guys just missed a good show.”
“Really? We love a good show! Tell us what happened!”
Sole Wolf had successfully piqued the group's interest. “I just literally kicked an Ultimate Class warrior's butt. It was hilarious!”
Ares and the others immediately got excited after hearing the man.
“What? Really? Do it again so that I can capture it on my phone!”
“Hey, I want to kick his butt too! Where's this Ultimate Class warrior?”
“If a King Class warrior like me can do that to an Ultimate Class, it'll be the most epic bragging right I have!”
Sole Wolf then pointed his finger at Mahazael. “That's the guy. I'm sure we can take him down if we work together. Nameless and I will pin him down while the rest of you take turns kicking his butt. Just make sure to kick him as hard as you can!”
“Great idea! Let's get started then. I can't wait to kick the butt of an Ultimate Class warrior!” declared Ares before he and the others cackled maniacally.
At that moment, Mahazael was so humiliated that the only thing he wanted was to bury his head like an ostrich. Oh, the shame! I can't believe a group of people was discussing how to kick my butt. Never have I ever been so humiliated my whole life!
However, Mahazael dared not put up a fight. Even if I had to take on both Sole Wolf and Tiger Lord, I would still have a chance at winning the battle. But now that so many of his allies have arrived, how can I hope to beat them?
Desperate, Mahazael turned to Daemonium. “Maybe we should pull back for now. We'll live to fight another day.”
The man meant to suggest that they run away, but his ego would not allow him to say something so cowardly.
“You want us to retreat? We are Netherworldians, and we would never do anything as humiliating as that,” uttered Daemonium coldly before turning to Zeke and the others. “You think you're the only ones with tricks up your sleeve? Then you're sorely mistaken! I, too, have a trump card.”
Immediately, Mahazael gave Daemonium a look of admiration. I knew it! Daemonium will save us both just yet.
Zeke and the others quickly readied themselves for whatever Daemonium had to throw at them. We can't underestimate him. Who knows what else the Celestial Class warrior can do!
“Go on, Daemonium. Show them what you've got! Make them regret messing with us Netherworldians!” shouted Mahazael proudly.
“Mahazael, I know you wondered why I insisted on keeping someone as useless as Warren around, so I'm going to show you why today. Get over here, Warren!”
