Chapter 455 Forty-Sword Formation
The three Laughing Phantoms belonged to the group of elites. With the speed of the swords, they knew they won't be able to escape. What's more, they don't have an escape ability that would help them.
Now, they only have one choice. And that is to fight! Even if it means their death. After all, they would die either way. Why not fight for the chance?
"We can't escape, it's do or die." Number ninety-one. Also, the strongest of them turn around to face the blue lights. 'Juggernaut's body!'
'Iliminazed shield!'
'Raptor's Barrier!'
'Boost Defense!'
'Greater Defense!'
The figure of number ninety-one grew wildly. His shirt burst from the muscles that swelled up. Now, he looked like a bodybuilder that suffered from too much steroids. His body glowed green lights continuously as he activated his defensive abilities and received buffs.
Number ninety-two had an expression of dread. Then he stretched his hand and followed number ninety-one's example.
'Greater Defensive Armor!' 'Dragon Scale!' 'Muddy Tornado!
Just like that, the three members of the Laughing Phantom used all their defensive abilities to resist the terrifying blue lights. But they felt a boost of confidence.
Kidd, on the other hand, just sat beside a tree and completely gave up. He knew that Fein wants to leave him last. As for why not take the opportunity to run while Fein was occupied?? Well, there were another five swords aimed at him. As long as he attempted to escape, he knew that it would be his end.
Seeing the shining armor and the sturdy shields that appeared, Fein just didn't have an expression on his face.
Five swords were the first to hit the first shield, but it only cracked a little, then the sixth, seventh, up to the tenth sword followed, which destroyed three layers of protection.
"This is bad... These swords are too sharp!"
"Fuck, I just noticed it just now. The sword seems to have the same appearance?"
"Damn you're right! These swords had the sharpness of S-rank swords, or even better. Doesn't that mean that he has hundreds of S-rank swords? Where did he get so many of them!?"
"It's his ability." Number ninety-one gave a hundred percent of his concentration just to maintain the shield and barriers.
After all, if the defenses goes down, his life would be over. He would die without a doubt as he saw how the blue lights made mincemeat out of his companions.
Just the thought of it filled him with dread and terror. He couldn't fathom why Fein had such a strong power that could even rival the top strongest in their organization.
After a few minutes, fifty swords landed on the layers of protection until only three layers were left.
Fein's patience was over, as he knew that he still had to destroy the armor on their bodies. "Forty-six Sword Formation: Heavenly Pierce!"
Suddenly, forty swords separated from the sea of swords and formed a unique formation. Almost thirty percent of Fein's degu energy was consumed in an instant. With that, the forty eyes swords turned into a giant pointed light, then shot out towards the three masked figures' direction.
"This is bad!" Number ninety-one had a bad feeling in his heart and it grew bigger as he felt the space around tremble from the pressure of the giant pointed blue light.
"Gave it your all!"
The Laughing Phantoms knew that things were getting bad for them. So, they didn't hesitate any more and poured all their degu energy into the barrier and shields that were protecting them to strengthen them.
With that, their degu energy was emptied. But the barrier's thickness almost tripled, and the shield became tougher. The only problem was, even if the layers of protection manage to hold on to the attack and resist it. They would still have to run from Fein, but that's almost impossible since they had just used all the degu energy they had.
Just like that, Fein's attack arrived... It landed on the first layer of protection, which was the barrier. The barrier couldn't even offer resistance even with its thickness as it was pierced easily. Then, the combined forty swords in the form of giant pointed blue light went through the second layer of protection, which was the shield.
The shield with hazy black patterns offered actually managed to resist the attack for three seconds, which surprised Fein a little. After all, the current damage of the forty sword formation might have the ability to kill a defenseless SS rank degu user.
'So this is his true strength...' Kidd took a deep breath as it was the first time that he witnessed Fein's full strength.
"We're fucked."
"Please spare us! We are just ordered to do this!!"

"I can serve you, and I promise that I will become your most loyal dog. Please have mercy!"
Fein turned a deaf ear to the plea of the Laughing Phantom members. Since they decided to ambush him, then there's only one result. He wasn't na?ve enough to just let them like that. Not to mention, Michael's state wasn't really optimistic, and he was on the verge of death because of the three.
Just like that, Fein's attack penetrated the last layer of protection. Three desperate screams echoed as the blue pointed light eradicated the members of the Laughing Phantom into scum. There's no corpse that could be found.
Slowly, hundreds of swords in the sky vanished, and only one sword remained. The sword automatically returned beside Fein.
Fein looked at Kidd with a cold expression and appeared instantly beside him. "How should I deal with the traitor?"
Kidd was just silent and looked down at the ground. He couldn't look directly into Fein's eye and just accepted that he would die.
Seeing this, Fein raised the sword in his hand and swung it towards Kidd, who has both of his eyes closed.
"Aghhh!" Suddenly, two arms flew out and blood spurted wild in the air. Followed by two feet, which belonged to Kidd.
"Just this once. I will leave you here with no arms and legs. It's up to fate if you survive. But if we meet next time, I will kill you." Fein carried Michael on his back and put him in the storage space where time was still. 'System, can you see his state accurately?'
