A hoarse voice suddenly came through the headset.
"I am Schneider, the Chief of Staff. I will be in charge of the scene from now on. To make a long story short, I have already ordered two armed helicopters from the U.S. Army Air Forces base in Yongsan, Seoul to take off. They will arrive on the scene in five minutes."
"The other executives in Seoul are already heading towards your location; the closest one is about ten minutes away."
"Armed helicopters can only provide air support, but they cannot engage targets in close combat. In order to prevent the target from escaping, you must hold the target down for ten minutes until ground personnel arrive to provide support."
"Except for Gu Ran, who has not yet enrolled, everyone else must keep this second-generation species here. I'm sorry, but you may have to sacrifice yourselves. In the battle between dragons and humans, only one side can survive. We and dragons have always been locked in a life-or-death struggle."
“I won’t say anything sentimental. Now, in my capacity as the head of the executive department, I implore you to die.”
"Mission received. We will do our best to complete the mission," Raymond replied calmly into his headset, showing no fear of death.
He looked at his two companions beside him.
They are already badly wounded and have little chance of fighting back.
They did not back down; they simply exchanged a glance and then decided to continue fighting.
Raymond's Word of Power: Blazing Sun releases intense light within a designated area, essentially acting as a flashbang.
This incantation only works when used unexpectedly, which is why he has never used it.
But he had no alchemical weapons.
However, the pistol on his waist also contained a magazine of mercury-core blunt metal armor-piercing rounds.
If it's all injected into Jeon Hyo-min's body, it will definitely cause damage.
"I'm about to unleash my ultimate move," Raymond said to his two companions.
Then, he looked at Gu Ran and said, "You should leave now. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, I'm about to unleash a powerful attack, and your presence will affect you."
"I'll be fine if I close my eyes, you can let it go." Gu Ran didn't leave.
Raymond thought to himself, "This kid actually knows what my ultimate move is."
It seems he hasn't used it in front of Gu Ran yet!
But Raymond wouldn't let Gu Ran take any risks; he had said he would ensure his safety.
"Hurry up, it'll be too late if we don't leave now!" Raymond shouted.
Gu Ran didn't speak. He gripped the hilt of the ancient sword in his right hand, and the sword seemed to emit a faint, ethereal sound.
He had an alchemical weapon in his hand.
He can deliver the fatal blow.
But it must be done unexpectedly.
"Gu Ran, I am ordering you, in my capacity as the head of the executive department, to retreat immediately!" Schneider said over the communication line. "Obey orders. You are young, and there are many more possibilities for the future."
"Okay." Gu Ran didn't insist this time and readily agreed.
He picked up the seriously injured and unconscious Ha Ji-yeon and ran away.
Jeon Hyomin looked at Gu Ran who was running away and was about to chase after him.
This man dares to impersonate Kim Seok-woo! I'll make him wish he were dead!
But Raymond and two companions blocked Jeon Hyomin's way.
Jeon Hyomin smiled cruelly, glanced at the three of them, and completely disregarded them.
"I'll kill you all within a minute! Then I'll go grab that little man; I can smell his childlike innocence!"
It suddenly let out a roar and then attacked Raymond.
"I'm going!" Raymond shouted, also reminding his companions.
Chapter 65 The Price of Dragon Abyss
Raymond uttered a few mysterious syllables, and then flames burst forth from his body.
The next second, a bright white light erupted from Raymond's domain.
The bright light, like a flashbang, indeed made Jeon Hyo-min, who rushed forward, freeze in her tracks.
Raymond's eyesight is good enough to see clearly in bright light, so when he noticed Hyomin pause, he immediately rushed forward.
He rushed to within ten meters of it, pulled out his pistol, and fired at Jeon Hyo-min's head and neck.
Suddenly, he seemed to see Jeon Hyomin smile slightly.
Raymond had a bad feeling.
Jeon Hyomin, with her eyes closed, seemed to have anticipated Raymond's actions, leaping and dodging around with her eyes closed.
Raymond's shots were all dodged.
Raymond observed its circuitry and discovered that it could locate sounds by sound...
He immediately wrote in his contacts: "The target has extremely keen hearing and can locate objects by sound. I suspect it also possesses the Word of Power: Kamaitachi..."
Before Raymond could finish speaking, he saw Jeon Hyomin rush towards her two companions and kill them instantly.
Raymond quickly raised his hand and fired two shots, but Jeon Hyo-min seemed to have anticipated this and easily dodged the beams.
Raymond had exhausted all his attack methods, but the Word of Power: Kamaitachi was a natural counter to his Blazing Sun!
"What bad luck!" he exclaimed.
"Die!" Jeon Hyomin stretched her dragon claw toward Raymond's heart, preparing to deliver a heart-piercing dragon claw strike!
Suddenly, it seemed to hear the sound of wind behind it.
Instinctively, it raised one hand to defend itself.
Its dragon claws have always been indestructible, as solid as a rock.
But its incredibly strong dragon claws were cut off as easily as tofu!
Before Jeon Hyo-min could even let out a painful scream, a sharp sword light slashed towards its neck!
It was none other than Gu Ran!
He had stuck the kunai into Jeon Hyomin's arm and hadn't pulled it out, just waiting for this moment!
The Supreme One has the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique!
He has few attack methods and can only strike by surprise.
Therefore, he was always looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
"You think you can kill me? Not so easy!" Jeon Hyomin let out a thunderous dragon roar. Suddenly, dense dragon scales gathered on its neck, layer upon layer, like armor.
There was a "click".
Those layers of dragon scales did not serve as any obstacle; the sword seemed indestructible.
Jeon Hyo-min's neck, like a fragile cucumber, was cleanly and decisively severed!
"How could this be..." it murmured its last words.
The next second, its head shifted, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and slowly came to a stop.
Its expression remained one of utter astonishment.
Everything seemed to be over.
Raymond was surprised by the turn of events; he wondered how Gu Ran had appeared behind Jeon Hyomin.
Could that be his power of words?
He was about to ask Gu Ran a question when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with her.
Gu Ran had his head down, his hand gripping the handle of the Longyuan Sword, which was trembling incessantly, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
"Gu Ran, are you alright?" Raymond asked.
Gu Ran then looked up.
Raymond looked into his eyes and was extremely surprised.
Suddenly, Gu Ran's pupils turned a dazzling crimson gold, shining brightly in the darkness!
Crimson gold—that's the pupil color only found in the next generation!
"What's going on? Is it a side effect of that sword?"
Raymond dared not look directly into Gu Ran's eyes any longer, and instead looked at the sword in his hand, which was dripping with explosive dragon blood and had a golden blade that shone with a noble light.
Raymond instinctively tightened his grip on the gun.
Through his earpiece, Schneider asked, "What happened? Why is it so quiet... Raymond, are you all dead?"
Raymond did not respond. He did not point out Gu Ran's abnormality, otherwise he might have eliminated him as an out-of-control unit.
He turned off the microphone and looked at the boy in front of him: "Gu Ran, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Gu Ran gritted her teeth and uttered two words.
Then, he moved.
Gu Ran raised his sword and plunged it into the corpse of the next-generation species on the ground.
……
Gu Ran's perspective.
Just like last time, when he drew that sword, he felt a strong killing intent.
The dragon blood within him seemed to be burning intensely, making his blood boil and his consciousness influenced by the will to kill.
He wanted to fight, to kill, to shed blood!
"Do you know the price I'm asking you?" In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice.
"Will your price be my death?" Gu Ran asked.
"will not."
"Then what else is there to ask? Come on!"
Thus, he held the Dragon Abyss Sword as if he held all the power and authority in the world.
