By the time they emerged, those people’s skins had begun to rot. Pus oozed from their skin, and blood trickled out of their mouths. They were going to die soon.
“Go after them! Don’t let them get away!” Two of the masked killers went after Natasha and the others. However, before they could even get past the door, a flash of light sliced their heads off cleanly.
“I’m your opponent.” Dustin stood in front of the door regally, holding a broken sword. Even the poisonous gas seemed afraid to go near him.
“Kill him! We need to avenge Gray Ghoul!”
With a loud cry, the killers charged toward Dustin. They utilized everything from weapons to poison and curses.
“None of you will escape today!” Dustin humphed before joining the fray, starting the bloody battle. Meanwhile, in the gardens, Natasha and everyone else were running in the blizzard. They left trails of footprints on the snowy ground.
“None of them seemed to have caught up to us. We should be safe now.” Ruth was panting after running for so long.
“Ms. Natasha, Caelus has been severely injured. We need to stop somewhere safe and treat his wounds as soon as possible,” Ivy said.
Natasha turned and saw Caelus, who was as white as a sheet. He was struggling to keep himself upright.
“Let’s go to the meeting room. Our elite guards are having a meeting there.” She immediately decided
“Let’s go.”
Just as everyone began to move, a bunch of large, round men emerged from the bushes. They were led by Marlon Cobb.
“Hello there, darlings. Where are you guys heading?” Marlon smirked as he gave the ladies a look
over.
“Marlon, why aren’t you helping when someone has infiltrated the place?” Natasha yelled.
“Help? Well, rather than hustling with those people, I’d much rather hustle with you girls.” Marlon wore a sickening grin.
“How dare you!” Caelus exploded. “Marlon, you better scram, or I’ll mess you up!”
“You?” Marlon sneered. “I might be afraid if you were uninjured, but you can’t even save yourself right now. How are you going to fight me?”
“I might be injured, but I can still get rid of you!” Caelus snarled.
“Really? Well, let’s see how strong you are now.” Marlon suddenly threw a punch.
“You!” Caelus tried to stop the other man, but his movements only aggravated his injuries. He
began to vomit blood, then collapsed.
“I haven’t even touched you yet. What a loser!” Marlon sneered.
“You better not play around, Marlon! The Invincible Guardians won’t let you off the hook!” Ivy yelled.
“If I kill all of you, how would others know?” Marlon retorted, unfazed by her threat.
“You wouldn’t!” Maria glared.
“But we’ll definitely have some fun before killing you guys” Marlon sneered viciously before signaling to his men. “What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up, the two chicks from the Invincible Guardians have been waiting for so long.
“Thanks, Marlon!” His subordinates immediately lunged toward Ivy and Maria.
“Let’s give it our all!” The two ladies gritted their teeth and faced the men’s attacks head-on However, they were quickly subdued and forced to the ground. Although they were skilled fighters, they weren’t able to use their full strength due to their injuries Eventually, they lost.
“We’re coming, darlings!” The men sneered. They yanked at the ladies’ clothes. Maria and Ivy shrieked in terror. They had never experienced something like this in their lives.
“Stop!” Caelus roared. He was powerless to do anything. He could only watch those men put their dirty hands on his allies.
