Chapter 169 Chapter 169- Operation: Behemoth (Part 10)

Grey's footsteps halted the moment he saw Kai as his body froze for a split second. The two stared at each other silently for a good 10 seconds.

Weirdly enough, Grey's expression didn't change immediately. Instead, he exhaled a long breath. Then, he lifted his hand slowly and pointed at Kai.

"You… Why are you the bane of my existence?"

Kai's eyes squinted behind the mask as he stood silently. He didn't know what that question was supposed to mean.

"Every single time we meet, I end up getting screwed over. You… What the hell are you, huh? Are you even human? No, don't even answer. I already know that you aren't. Something like you shouldn't exist." He said as he lifted the sword and stared at it. His eyes filled with depth that even Kai couldn't fathom.

"That's why, I have dedicated all these past years, training like a madman just so I can end you. Perhaps I was destined all along to kill the creature that defies this world's laws."

Kai's aura stayed calm even when Grey started treating him as 'it' not 'he'. He doesn't seem to see him as a human anymore.

"Delusional idiots like you are the people I kill the most," Kai replied as he vanished from where he stood before he appeared mid-air, next to Grey with his punch already flying toward Grey. His silhouette was dark and scary, like that of a demon.

The latter stared at the monster he was about to fight before he swung Devine down.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

The whole corridor was sliced in half as if it was made out of soft fabric as rocks and debris fell to the ground, filling the whole place.

However, it seemed that the attack didn't hit Kai as he had spun around, dodging it before he landed on his hands with his leg kicking upwards, aiming for Grey's jaw.

*BANG*

The kick connected as Grey was sent flying up in the air, smashing against the ceiling. Kai then quickly adjusted his posture as he jumped up in the air, following after Grey. When he reached his level, Kai grabbed Grey by the face and then threw him down, piercing the ground and falling to a lower floor.

But, it didn't end at that. Jumping inside the hole he created, Kai used his ice talent as he created a huge ice shared that he kicked down with his leg, launching it at Grey.

The latter stared up from his landing spot before he swung the sword again, slicing the shard in half, each half falling on either side of him.

But, Kai didn't use that shard as a real attack. Instead, it was a decoy for his next move as he had landed on the ground before he launched toward Grey and punched him in the side.

"BLURGH!!" Blood splattered out of Grey's mouth from the hit. However, shockingly enough, he wasn't launched away as he suddenly grabbed Kai's arm.

"You're really foolish, Black Phantom. I told you before, didn't I? I'm not the same person you fought 5 years ago."

Then, without hesitation, Grey threw Devine to the side. Before he used both arms.

"Internal force: first technique: Finger Strikes." Then, with his index fingers, he attacked different points in Kai's body at inhuman speed.

Kai had already used Origin to coat his stomach and stop the attack. However, what happened next surprised him.

Kai's defense was shockingly broken as he was launched away, smashing against the wall. Landing on his feet, he touched his stomach.

'Internal damage… He broke my defense.' His eyebrows knitted slightly. Grey had somehow dealt internal damage to his organs, ignoring the Origin barrier Kai used. No, not only that, but he also somehow penetrated Kai's extremely tough skin that could even stop Origin-Bullets.

"Tsk, tsk… You really lost your touch, didn't you? I'm quite disappointed, Black Phantom. Did these 5 years turn you into a soft, weak creature that would get damaged by mere finger attacks?" Grey mocked with an enraged smile.

Kai's eyes turned sharper. It seemed that Grey had learned some new tricks.

Meanwhile, back inside the conference room, raging fights were happening between the Archangels and the executioners.

"Hah… What… the hell is she?" S thought to herself as she stared at Kaya. Her face was coated in blood and her left arm was broken.

"We can't… Ugh, lose! Fuck!" C replied as he held his broken ribs.

"What's up, guys? Is that all you've got? I wanted to try some more things on you." Kaya said as she picked up a rock and started playing with it. Her casual demeanor and unscathed state made the fight seem like a piece of cake and it was.

Even Kaya was internally surprised at how overwhelmingly powerful she was. It wasn't even a comparison. She had been toying with these two for the past 30 minutes and they couldn't even attack her.

'Hm, ok let's try this.'

"I found a game we can play, folks! I will throw rocks at you and you must dodge! If you don't dodge, the rocks will pierce your bodies~" She said playfully as she grabbed the rock with two hands and took a baseball thrower position.

Channeling mana to her fingers, she threw the rock with all her power. The speed of the rock exceeded the speed of sound as it flew silently toward the two Executioners.

*BANG*

"WOAH!!" The two Executioners were taken by surprise as they barely dodged the rock. The moment it made contact with the shadow wall, the rock ricocheted back.

"Shit, I forgot about that!" Kaya's face changed as she quickly moved, barely dodging the rock that came flying back. "Tsk, what the hell is that wall?! It's pissing me off!"

The two Executioners looked at Kaya with dumbfounded expressions. The way she was goofing around as if it was nothing really bewildered them.

'What kind of monster is she?!' They thought to themselves.

"Ok, that's it! I'm fucking angry now! You two, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna kill you both now. *CRACK*" She said with an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms before twisting her fingers.

Instantly, two huge tiger paws emerged from the ground as they ruthlessly attacked the two Executioners.

"AGHHH!!" The speed and accuracy of the claws didn't allow for the two to even dodge. Each slash and stab would hit its target or barely miss it.

In a matter of minutes, the two Executioners were turned into bloody messes as they lay on the ground, breathing their last breaths. Their bodies were shredded to pieces and their limbs were thrown everywhere, like broken doll pieces.

Approaching the two of them, Kaya looked down silently. Her cold yet playful eyes peered through the mask.

"Don't take it personally, guys. I don't kill people for no reason. You were just a little bit unlucky, that's it."

Vomiting a huge mouthful of blood, the two gave Kaya one last cursed glare before they died.

Staring at the two dead people, Kaya sighed before she looked up again. "Now, how do I get the hell out of this black prison?" She murmured to herself with a confused expression.
