Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 343: Wyernthrope - Part 1

Five minutes ago

Dominic witnessed how easy Heero killed Luca Lane and his five trusted subordinates. He even saw Luca's eyes were dug out by Heero before the poor guy was killed.

Six Emperor Class Heroes were killed just like that. Dominic was stunned that the six best heroes were killed just like that.

Heero did not look at Dominic. He was looking toward the south direction.

"They are about to come! Do you want to come with me or go to the underground city?"

"They" in Heero's mouth were the people who came for him. The specter's main purpose was to kill Heero not Sun City. So the specter's main force should be in the core region.

Before Dominic could give his answer, he broke the glass and jumped off toward the arena.

"Why did you ask me if you just leave me like that?" Dominic muttered in a low voice.

He then walked toward the broken glass and looked at Heero. He looked toward the empty dome with a sigh.

Sun City Hero League branch had boasted that the same incident would not be repeated. They raised their image with this event but now it was backfired.

If not for Heero and SES, Sun City would be captured by the specters. He knew about this three days ago.

Three days ago

When Dominic just came out of Heero's mansion, he checked the folder in his hand.

There was a new paper slipped into the folder with a few words in it.

[If you want to know what happened, come back tomorrow morning :)]

The smiley face that made Dominic smile. He smiled back and waved his hand back to Heero. Indicating he got the message and would come.

The next day, Dominic came back to Heero's mansion. That morning, Heero led him to the place he never thought would exist below Sun City, the underground city.

Inside the mansion, there was a path leading to the underground city. He was shocked when he witnessed there was another city right below his city.

This morning, he knew the specter would launch a big attack. That morning, he knew everything that his boasting was ignored by the specters. This morning he also learned that half of the Emperor Class Heroes had turned to the specter's side.

Brmmmm!

As Dominic's thought ran wild, he felt a slight vibration. The floor vibrated, interrupting his train of thoughts.

He immediately jumped off of the room as well. When he arrived next to Heero and was about to ask who was coming, Dominic saw a crowd of men in black entering the dome.

They filled the spectator's seats and surrounded them. The men in black flooded toward the arena afterward.

Dominic pulled out his longsword. He was ready to fight, but then

Boom!

A man with a brawny body wore sleeveless armor and a spiked gauntlet in his hand.

"It seems I am not late for the party!" The brawny man grinned toward Heero but the latter ignored the brawny man.

'Your friend?' It was what Dominic wanted to ask Heero but it was interrupted by four people. Four people popped up from the arena, two teenagers and two women.

"What the" Dominic did not even know the arena was modified by Heero. Suddenly, he felt unfamiliar with the city where he grew up.

He recognized all four, two women were Heero's wives, Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon. The other two were Heero's young disciples, Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun.

"Why do they also come?" Heero pointed toward the two teenagers.

The enemy they were about to face was not specter but also human. He was worried about these two young guys. They never killed a human after all.

"They insisted so I let them follow us. It's just a matter of time before they must get used to killing anyway, so it should be fine bringing them with us," Kang Seo-Yeon replied to Heero.

She was Kang Dong-Woo's sister, if she said so then there was nothing Heero could do.

"Don't force yourself and stay near me!" Heero instructed the two in a serious tone.

"Yes!" Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun replied loudly as they sheathed out their weapon. Xu Lingxun had two spears while Kang Dong-Woo had two swords.

"Get ready! They're coming!" Butcher Wang hit his gauntlet, causing a loud noise.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After that, Butcher Wang rushed down off the arena. He faced thousands of men in black.

It was a brute fight as the men in black brandished the weapon toward Butcher Wang. There was no technique or something, it was like a street fight.

Butcher Wang easily avoided all weapons that were directed at him with two steps back.

"Taste my fist!!" Butcher Wang's gauntlet shone in blue as he shot the fist to the closest opponent's head.

Bang!

The head exploded as blood splattered around. At the same time, a fist made if blue Ki shot through the exploding head and hit the people in the back.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The men in the black's head popped off like a balloon.

At the same time, Kang Seo-Yeon pulled her bowstring to the fullest and arrowless. But then, an arrow made of flame formed. She released the bowstring and the flame arrow shot through the people in black.

The flame arrow pierced the frontmost man in black on the chest. It pierced through to the second, the third, fourth until the tenth people were killed in one arrow.

At the same time, Bai Xin Yue hopped off the arena and touched the ground with her palm.

Swoosh!

The ground froze and the people on top of the ground were frozen too. Hundreds of people were frozen. A few seconds later, the frozen people cracked and fell on the ground.

Their frozen body broke into pieces. The frozen flesh scattered around just like that.

At the same time, the two teenagers also rushed to the crowd of the men in black. They fought hand in hand against overwhelming enemies.

The moment the men in black reached their range, they would die either slashed in half or have their head pierced by the spear.

Just like that, the flooded enemies were slaughtered before they could reach the arena.

Dominic witnessed everything from the center of the arena. He was shocked that five people were fending off the enemy well. No single enemy could reach the arena.

"It seems I have to help as well" Even though these five fended off the surged enemy well. It was just a matter of time before they got exhausted.

Just as Dominic was about to join the fray, he noticed something formed in the air around him. Spears made a golden flame formed in their air. It was not just one or two spears but hundreds of golden flame spears.

Then the flame spears moved out. All flame spears shot the men in the black that on the spectator's seats. The flame spears moved in a circle, circling the seats, skewering the men in the black around the seats.

Dominic just took his first step but he immediately stopped as he witnessed this.

"It seems my help is not needed" He muttered dejectedly. At this point, Dominic had realized the gap between him and Heero. They were not in the same class.

"What is this? They send these people to get my head?"

Then Dominic heard Heero's voice grumbling. He saw Heero was frowning despite the one-sided slaughter.

Then he saw a flame spear bring a man in black toward him. The man had his left shoulder pierced as his body dangling on the flame spear. From breathing, Dominic could tell the man was still alive.

When the spear arrived at Heero, he pulled off the cloth that covered the man's face.

A man in his early twenties with pale white skin was behind the cloth. Dominic saw the man had dilated eyes and its black was moving around, unfocused.

The man appeared like an idiot to Dominic. But he could see the man was holding the sword firmly, trying to hit Heero.

Heero cut the man's neck and brought yet another two men to him with the flame spears.

This time, the two men were someone in his early thirties. They looked older than the first one but they had the same expression as the first one.

"As expected, these people are the people they brainwashed and strengthened, but why did they send these people to me?" 

Heero cut the two men's neck as well as he concluded.

Dominic did not understand Heero but he found these people in black indeed looked so weak.

As Dominic was wondering what Heero talked about, shadows were hovering over him. He could see the shadows reflected on the ground, many of them.

Dominic looked up and his pupils enlarged in shock. It was because he never saw such a creature in the sky.

Its upper half was similar to a dragon in the fantasy movie and its lower half was humanoid. They had a big wing on the back as they hovered in the sky.

"It's Wyernthrope!"
