The Hunter Leader gave the order, and many Hunters simultaneously attacked Wain and Osvald.

"Great, that's what we need." Osvald smiled, and the silhouette of a dragon's head appeared above him.

He took a deep breath and then blew out an energy stream similar to a dragon's breath.

"Run!" The hunters screamed in fear and turned around, but the white fire reached most of them and left no trace.

'He killed several of my men in one skill?' Hunter Leader thought, 'Damn, who are they? Looks like I'm out of luck today... I'll have to do everything myself.'

The Hunters continued to attack Osvald and Wain, they tried to disarm and wound them, but the Hunters were powerless.

Bam.

Wain punched a Hunter in the face, and he flew back a few meters, knocking the others down. Then Wain waved his hand, and the space next to the Hunters became unstable, transparent walls appeared, and the Hunters were trapped inside the cube.

"I see you liked the new skill." Osvald smiled, crushing one Hunter's head.

"Of course, Legendary Souls is something, this skill is simple but powerful and useful." Wain muttered, "Die wimps!"

Crackle.

Wain clenched his palm in his fist, and the cube shrank sharply, turning the bones and flesh of the Hunters into mincemeat. Blood gushed from the cube, and the scene horrified the others. They had thought they could take on two outsiders with ease, but the reality was cruel and unpredictable.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

"Bastards! I wanted to be nice to you, but from its looks, I'm going to have to break every bone in your body!" Hunter Leader roared furiously, and powerful streams of gray energy erupted from him.

He stepped forward and stomped his foot on the ground, then the area shuddered, and metal spikes burst from beneath the stone slabs.

Wain and Osvald didn't expect anyone to have such massive abilities, but they managed to react and jumped past part of the attack.

"Huh, that's too slow." Wain smirked and jumped away from the spike, and soared through the air for a moment.

Eerie wings grew from his back, and several thunderclouds of electrical discharges crackled over the square.

Sparks shot from Wain's eyes, and a pillar of lightning struck the group of Hunters on the wall.

There was a deafening explosion, and part of the wall was destroyed.

Wain flapped his wings and stood on one leg on the highest spike. He stared intently at the scene of the explosion.historical

The cloud of dust slowly settled, and a golden hexagonal shield was revealed under which half of the group of Hunters were, the rest were unable to survive. A Hunter protected them with a massive shield and bulky armor, but he was badly wounded and could hardly hold the shield.

"You think this is going to help you?" Wain muttered, and a flood of dozens of spirits burst from his cloak. It rained down on the surviving Hunters and into their bodies, quickly driving them mad and causing them to kill each other.

"Everyone, get back! You useless pieces of shit! If you can't do anything, then I'll do it all myself!" Hunter Leader shouted, and massive streams of energy piled up beside him.

"Boss, please wait." Suddenly he was stopped by Hunter with black hair and a scar on his neck.

"Lin? What do you want?"

"You shouldn't bother or there won't be anything left of this place, these two aren't worth you destroying our fortress. Let me and my men deal with them, we'll do it easily." Lin said calmly.

"All right, but I'm still not going to stand by." Hunter Leader waved his hand and gray streams of energy headed toward Lin and his group. Signs in the shape of a toothy sword appeared on their chests.

"Ahaha, boss, you're incredible!"

"I can feel the power overwhelming me."

"Now I can easily take them apart!"

The members of Lin's group exclaimed. They were thrilled by the power the Hunter Leader gave them.

"Let's go." The Leader uttered.

"Yes." Lin nodded and drew his weapon from its sheath. It was a long katana with a blue blade.

"You deal with the big guy, and I'll take care of this bastard." Lin pointed at Osvald and glared at Wain.

Lin swung his sword and created an energy blade that shattered the metal spike.

Wain calmly jumped off it and landed in front of Lin.

"You keep looking at me, do we know each other?" Lin asked and got into a fighting stance. He bent down and put his hand on the hilt of his katana.

"No, I've just heard a lot about you."

"How interesting."

"Don't think about it, a dead man wouldn't need that knowledge!" Wain exclaimed and a phantom snake tail appeared above him and swooped down on Lin.

Lin's eyes flashed and his silhouette blurred. He turned into a blue flash and was instantly in front of Wain and swung his katana.

Wain instinctively stepped aside, but he couldn't dodge completely.

The katana tip left a shallow cut on his right arm and severed one wing.

'And he's pretty fast, that could be problematic... No wonder the villagers couldn't do anything against him.' Wain muttered inwardly and took a few steps back.

"Boss, you're incredible as always!" Lin's mates exclaimed.

"Enough idle talk, get down to business." Lin said seriously.

"Yes!" the hunters exclaimed and simultaneously attacked Osvald standing nearby.

They surrounded him, and each of them activated a Beyond. They did not wait for the right moment and decided to use all their most powerful skills at the very beginning. They were experienced fighters and understood that Osvald outnumbered them in strength, but they were greatly outnumbered.

The silhouettes of angry beasts appeared above the Hunters, and their muscles grew dramatically larger, their claws sharper, and their reflexes faster.

"You guys try to look like menacing wolves, but you're nothing more than frightened puppies." Osvald grinned, "Do you actually think that's enough to fight the power of a dragon?"
