Chapter 514

Timothy could not avoid the blade in time as he was still recovering from his previous move. It sliced through his right thigh, instantly revealing his bone as blood sprayed outward.

"Damn it! He doesn't feel pain, does he?" Then it hit him-of course Solomon felt nothing.

He was Dexter's zombie creation now.

Catching movement out of the corner of his eyes, Timothy fought through the pain. He made a feint before charging straight at Dexter, who stood watching from his perch on the boulder. Despite Timothy's rapid approach, Dexter's face showed only amusement and no fear.

""You think you're worthy to face me?" Dexter sneered.

Just as Timothy expected, Solomon moved with frightening speed to block his path.

As minutes ticked by, wounds appeared across Solomon's body as exhaustion creeped into his features. Though Timothy's elite guards tried to assist, Dexter's four zombies, who were equally immune to pain and injury, kept them thoroughly occupied. "Mr. Hunter, Solomon could actually kill you instantly. But where's the fun in that? I ordered him to take it slow. Isn't it delightful?" 1

Timothy had no breath left for words. His reactions were slowing, and he could barely defend himself. Right then, Solomon leaped high before bringing his great sword down. Timothy felt his heart sink. He was just too exhausted to dodge. "Is this it? What a pathetic way to die!"

At the last possible moment, the blade stopped mere inches from Timothy's forehead with a clang.

"Solomon?" someone asked.

Timothy stared in shock at the figure beside him, who had stopped the massive blade with just two raised fingers. It seemed impossible. Solomon possessed the power of the Ultimate Mortal Realm plus zombie attributes. His raw strength was monstrous.

Yet someone had casually pinched his blade between two fingers like it was nothing.

""You're not Solomon anymore."

The voice snapped Timothy back to reality. He recognized his savior. "F-Felix?"

Felix ignored Timothy as his gaze fixed on Solomon. Though Solomon's arms strained with effort, his eyes flickered with a mix of pleading and agony.

"Kill... kill me!" he finally managed to force out through trembling lips. Felix sighed heavily

as if understanding everything.

Atop his boulder, Dexter had recognized Felix right away. After all, Felix was his intended target. But the fact that he could casually stop Solomon's blade while he could not pull free revealed something terrifying. Felix was far more powerful than the Elders' Council had estimated.

Dexter gulped. He had survived this long by knowing when to cut his losses. With Felix's attention focused elsewhere, now seemed the perfect moment to slip away.

But right when he tried to move, Felix's left hand flicked up. Dexter felt his upper body beginning to slide downward.

"Leaving so soon? I don't recall giving you permission," Felix snapped.
