When it was almost night, our two Dirty Knife Boys arrived at the center of the city. Unfortunately, they were forced to stop short of their goal.
The reason? The people guarding the place where they need to go.
Five Hunters.
Observing the scene through his satellite, Vanoss sighed. His satellite sent him an image of a ruined tower, the place where they needed to reach to pass this challenge, and five different Hunters patrolling the surroundings of the tower with wary expressions.
He was sure these Hunters would not hesitate to stop whoever tried to reach the tower. Well, they have the free pass card, but it will expire in just an hour and the limit has already hit just hours ago.
"Now what the hell are we supposed to do, Evan?" Terroriser asked with a concerned look.
"Hmm... let me think," Vanoss said and started to play with his hair while thinking. In the end, he could only think of a solution. "I think we should team with other people and with our combined strength, we could beat them!"
"Eh..." Terroriser looked fell silent. He was also an intelligent man with a mind of a quantum computer, "You do know those Hunters have like demigod strength? And it'll take thirty peak A-ranks to take down a single weak Demigod. Taking out five, we need like a hundred and fifty people strong as us."
"Exactly, our chance will be great if we need an army."
"But the problem is how to convince those assholes to work with us?"
Vanoss agreed with Terroriser. However, he already had an idea. "Let me see if I can locate them first."
With a thought, Vanoss used his satellite to scan the surroundings in search of more people.
Few seconds had passed, and Vanoss could see the number of candidates he found was higher than he expected. There were a total of 200 candidates in ten kilometers around the tower.
Obviously, they had also discovered the situation and they were thinking of ways to break through the Hunters' blockade.
As Vanoss continues to look for more candidates, Terroriser senses something, he looks up to see something is heading towards them at alarming speed.
"What the fu-"
Cutting Terroriser's sentence off was the fast speeding object, but before it could hit them, Terroriser noticed the speeding object turned out to be a Fighter Jet, traveling at Mach 10 and landed on the two like a ballistic missile.
BOOOM!
Following a violent explosion that shook the streets, Vanoss and Terroriser walked out of the cloud of dust with little injuries, but instead, they looked annoyed.
"Who in the BLOODY FUCK does kamikaze our asses at full speed with a Jet!?" Terroriser exclaimed loudly as he and Vanoss were headed towards the wreckage.
But once they got close, they noticed a figure standing up, bringing out their guns. The two waited to see who it was, but to their surprise...
It was Nogla.
As soon as Nogla saw the two, his expression changed. Without hesitation, he rushed towards them with his arms open.
"Guys!"
Before any of the two could react, Nogla reaches the two and gives them a huge hug.
"Oh, I missed you guys, it's been so long!"
Vanoss rolled his eyes. "We have not been separated for even a day..."
"And what the hell, Nogla! Landing a Fighter Jet right at us, at full speed!?" Terroriser broke the hug, grabbed Nogla by the collar and shook him violently back and forth.
"Well, I thought you guys were enemies so I did what I did." Nogla calmly replied while getting shaken violently by Terroriser.
"By kamikaze our asses with a Jet!?"
"Mhm :/" Nogla nodded.
"Well, we got Nogla now, now we need a hundred and forty-nine more people to go." Vanoss said.
"Yeah, but making an army will be so hard!" Terroriser groaned.
"An army? I think I got one on what you need." Nogla smiled at the two.
Urging them to follow, Vanoss and Terroriser did what he said and headed to the location he was pointing at.
Soon, they arrived at a semi-destroyed house six kilometers away from the tower.
Almost at the same time, the people inside the house moved. They had detected Vanoss and Terroriser's arrival.
One second later, numerous students exited the house and surrounded the group with ice-cold faces.
But when they saw Nogla, they immediately calmed down.
But then, a beautiful dark-haired and purple-eyed woman walked out of the ruined house with a smile.
"It's nice to see you again, sir." The woman bowed with a mature voice and a bit of a British accent.
"Hello, Lith." Nogla smiled politely and looked at the people around him. "Gentlemen, calm down, they are my friends."
After his words, everyone lowered their weapons and calmed down.
"No no, he was the one helping me. Mister Monocle Gentlesir is very strong, and a very good cooker~"
"PFFFFTTTT!!!" Vanoss and Terroriser tried to hold their laughter, why the hell did this woman called Nogla 'Monocle Gentlesir'?
Nogla's lips twitched slightly, but instead of explaining, he just sighed, "Let's just go inside."
As the group were about to enter the building, Terroriser secretly tries to find info out of this woman named Lilith.

================================
'Hmmmmmmmmmm!?' Terroriser stared at her information intensely, well he could see some, but the rest seemed to be redacted for some reason. 'Am I a low quality android or something? This is bullshit.' he thought.
Looking at the woman with a suspicious look, Terroriser began to ask, "Hey miss, how did you and Nogla meet?"
"Ah, just a few hours ago, your friend and I encountered each other on our way towards here. We fought, but unfortunately, our fight attracted the attention of a Hunter, so the two of us were forced to work together to escape him. In the end, we managed to escape the Hunter's chase. And after that, we decided to team up, due to the rule that you could also team up with other teams. Apparently, we hit off very well with each other."
"I was asking for a normal reply, not an entire fucking essay." Terroriser muttered with an annoyed look.
"Well, it's true. She indeed kicked my ass, so..." Nogla explained with a wry smile.
"No, your friend is the strong one." The purple-eyed woman giggled with a soft smile. "You don't know how surprised I was when he received an attack from the Hunter head-on and only took a few steps backward."
"ANYWAY!" Vanoss immediately cuts in and interrupts their conversation, "Enough with that bullshit, we're here to reach that tower and win this competition!"
"Do you have a plan?"
"What the fuck is that kind of question is that? Of course I have, but I want to wait for a bit more before putting it in action." he said with a high-pitch at the end.
"Mm?"
"I need to get a grasp of the abilities of the Hunters guarding the tower. You know, they say you should analyze before charging into battle like dumbasses."
"A good plan indeed!" Nogla agreed before taking out some food ingredients and kitchen tools from his inventory. "For now, let's eat something first. It's late and I'm hungry for some puncakes."
When they heard these words, the eyes of the people around them sparkled.
"""YEAHHH!"""
Looking around, Terroriser said weirdly, "Is this the reason why a lot of people follow Nogla?"
Lilith smiled wryly, "Yeah... your friend's food is no joke, it's also one of the reasons I follow him."
"That is so stupid."
In less than half an hour, the place became a cafeteria, ignoring the huge battle not far from them.
"Hm, not bad, Nogla." Vanoss nodded as he ate a piece of pancake or puncake what Nogla said.
"Delicious~" Lilith sighed joyfully. "Mr. Gentlesir, I never thought those puncakes are so good. Are you interested in being my personal chef?"
"...Nah."
"Ey ey ey! Who do you think is trying to take our Nogla?" Terroriser said, frowning as he pulled Nogla from this wrench.
"Oh~? Jealous, Mr. Terroriser? What is your special relationship with Gentlesir?"
"Hou... I'm also interested in that." A random student grinned.
"Okay, whoever said that is a complete dumb cunts who sucks horse's nutsacks. One, his Nogla, and two, we aren't gay what those toxic shippers in the fandom says." Terroriser spoke to the woman with a venomous tone. Then, he continued eating his food.
When they ended dinner, Nogla put everything back in his inventory in one go. The woman named Lilith was just ordering around the students while Terroriser and Vanoss were on the roof of a nearby tall building and looked in the direction of the tower.
Not only the tower, they also tracked three individuals who were trying to reach the tower, moving skillfully between the shadows, taking each step silently and avoiding the places where the Hunters were.
Well, even if they erased all known traces that might have found them, they cannot escape Terroriser's highly advanced mechanical eyes. But still, their stealth skills were outstanding.
But they did not think that was enough to pass the Hunters guarding the tower.
And as they expected, when the three individuals were less than a kilometer away from the tower, one of the Hunters reacted. turned around and grinned in the direction of the group of three.
"Ohoho, they fucked up." Terroriser laughed, alongside with Vanoss as they watched their incoming demise.
As soon as the Hunter located where the three individuals were, he bent his knees and jumped at high speed.
The leader of the three stealthy individuals instantly realized he and his teammates had been discovered. Without hesitation, he stopped caring about stealth and ordered his men to scatter and rushed towards the tower.
It was just one kilometer away. They needed just a few seconds to arrive there. But the Hunter was faster than they expected.
In less than three seconds, the person noticed his two other teams were already eliminated and the Hunter was already in front of him, wielding a spear skillfully.
Gritting his teeth, the student took out a shortsword. Bending his body, he redirected the attack of the A-Hunter away.
Boom!
A powerful explosion happened, creating a giant crater around the student and the Hunter, but to the Hunter's surprise, the student was uninjured. Although his expression was slightly pale, he had managed to deflect the blow without receiving any injury.
A brief trace of admiration flashed in the Hunter's face. Although he suppressed his strength to less than 5% just now, his attack was not something that a B-rank should be able to stop. But despite his admiration for the student's abilities, he did not stop his second attack.
At the same time, the student sprinted once more towards the tower, he knew he could not defeat the Hunter. His only hope was to reach the tower before the Hunter could catch him.
Six hundred meters, Five hundred meters, four hundred meters. Every passing second is a hundred meters each and the student traveled felt like a countdown toward his victory.
At that moment, the Hunter attacked again, but this time, the student did not defend. Instead, he gritted his teeth and circulated his mana furiously.
Instantly, a dark shade erupted from his body, bringing his speed to a new level and helping him to avoid the next attack.
With this, he was from three hundred to twenty meters away from the tower in just an instant. Excitement appeared on the student's face. He could already see the tower in front of him before extending his hand and tried to touch it, which he won the game.
But suddenly, a magic circle appeared around him.
Then, countless chains of light surged from the ground, wrapping around his body and stopping his movements.
At the same time, a translucent barrier appeared around the tower to stop the student in case he managed to break through the chains.
The student's face turned ashen. In a panic, he tried to use his shortsword to cut the chains. Before he could, the shaft of a spear hit his abdomen.
"Gah!" The student vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Next, his consciousness started to fade. But before his consciousness faded completely, he managed to see a fox woman, like she seemed to be a goddess walking calmly towards him while holding a staff on her hands.
In fact, she had been the one that cast the chains and the barrier.
"This boy was pretty good." A human male warrior with a spear grinned at the fox woman. "Unfortunately, he was too rash and overestimated his abilities."
"It means he is not suitable to be at the next competition." The fox woman shrugged indifferently. "Return to your post. It would be bad if someone sneaks in while we are busy with this boy."
The spear-wielding man grinned and returned to his previous location.
Meanwhile, Vanoss and Terroriser were looking at that scene with interest.
"Well that guy sucks ass." Terroriser spoke out.
"Yeah, going head on is like the stupidest thing that made Rear Admiral Masafumi Arima call that dumb." Vanoss remarked, staring at the five Hunters through his satellite.
Each one of them could be considered a rather powerful powerhouse, so they managed to see the battle clearly despite the distance, including being aware of Vanoss' satellite observing them, but they seem uninterested in finding the person who used the satellite.
"Yup. Anyways, the question is how do we need all the help we can get, even these fuckers are our enemies and in a matter of time they will backstab us."
"Don't worry, Brian, I have a plan. Convincing them personally is the absolute dumbest thing a main character wants to do politely and is also the dumbest shit to hear."
"What's your point, Evan?"
"Brian, we will do something more... drastic."
Hearing Vanoss' words, Terroriser nodded with a grin and returned to the house where they were staying.
As they enter the house, Lilith tries to ask them about the plan but Vanoss already got one while Terroriser spoke out.
"Google, I need something quick. Can you whip up a Star Fox Boss, Season 4 call back? Make it flashy." He asked, getting Google's voice as a response.
[You got it, babe.]
"Shut up." Terroriser muttered, looking at Vanoss who nodded at him with a smile.
With a thought, an object came out from Vanoss' satellite and landed near the top of the tower in midair while at the same time sending out tens of speakers hovering in the air.
"Let's go, you little bitch." Terroriser said with a determined look, he wore a headset and slapped himself and jumped around, ready to pump things up. "It's showtime, get centered."
Back on the central tower, the five Hunters look at the tens of speakers in curiosity, they are already aware of the satellite's existence in space, but didn't expect it will begin to take action soon.
But then, appearing from the larger floating object in the middle of the speakers was an enormous holographic form of Terroriser, so massive that he could be seen from throughout the entire ruined city.
[What up, magic nerdy motherfuckers! Come on down to Colonel Terroriser's KFC restaurant, where I'm serving your ass on a plastic bucket!]
Gasps of surprise and expressions of fright appeared in some of the students, while others looked at the giant hologram of Terroriser with expressions of wariness and alertness.
Meanwhile, two giants of Academy city fought in a field somewhere in the ruined city, fighting at astonishing speed that not even a normal A-rank is capable of fighting like that. With each clash of their weapons caused the fabric of space to shake while both of their auras combined pulverized all the surrounding buildings around them.
They are Mu Quan and Isabella Oriana, two strongest students in Academy City and had fought for god knows how long they were, all fighting to show themselves who's the strongest. But their fight came to a halt when a giant holographic of Terroriser appeared and ruined their mood.
"What is this?" Isabella muttered as she and her rival, Mu Quan stared at it.
[Yeah, I know what y'all thinking. Fuck this game and instead of fighting each other like retarded cunts, let's work together and beat those five Hunters that guards the tower, that's a great idea! If you don't agree, then I will win this challenge for myself and be rewarded with a good home turf, infinite amount of bitches, and having the absolute pendulous balls!]
The words that came out from Terroriser's mouth seemed to offend a few students, and so, they immediately moved forward before he even reached his next sentence.
[Now you're asking, "Hey, isn't it risky? Is it a trap? Are you making us bait?" You might be right. But who even the fuck cares! Your just decreasing more of our numbers if you keep fighting each other like darn animals, all because of your fucking egos and beating up rivals and do your own meaningless shit! If you agree with my words, THEN LET'S DO THIS! COME AT THIS TOWERING BITCH! COME ON!]
As he spoke with a Arnold impression voice at the end, the students who agreed with Terroriser moved, some weren't while the intelligent ones, especially Isabella and Mu Quan seemed to realize Terroriser's intentions but they still moved forward due to his words almost being true.
[Yeah! Now I hope you enjoy listening to my message and so, I will end this by playing the best remix this world has ever heard. Now rise for the Irish National Anthem and sing with it till you die from Tertiary syphilis and-... What? No, Nogla, I'm gonna loop it.]
Suddenly, everyone looking at the hologram Terroriser was interrupted by the green idiot of the group as they began to argue about something that they have no clue what it is.
[Why is it... you know what, fuck it, lets start with this National Anthem.]
After his words, the hologram of Terroriser was switched to a holographic screen to a music display.
Meanwhile, the Hunters who guard the tower had heard all of the things Terroriser said, they all looked at each other, knowing what was happening next.
One of them said, "So, are we supposed to feel concerned about this?"
"Nah, the guy just helps make the game faster to end, and makes it more interesting." The other Hunter said, chuckling with a mischievous grin.
----------------------
An hour later, the once 2000 to 3000 students that were in the beginning of the game had now become 200 to 300 remaining students surrounding and stood far away from the tower and enough to reach outside the Hunters' suppressing radar and ready to start the raid.
Due to note that each of those Hunters were on the level of a weak Demigod, but each weak Demigod has the strength of 20 to 30 A-ranks. With over 200 or more people against five Hunters, who only used 10% to 20% of their full strength and power in the challenge, it might give the people a chance to hold them up.
"What I tell you Brian, this is what you call an army." Vanoss spoke out to the cyborg and the green retard of the group stood on top of a building in satisfaction, staring at the army of students ready to raid like never before, this reminds him of the event of the Beastmen Empire, and caused two major powerhouses into a huge war with Wildcat. Yup, good times.
An hour ago, he and the guys had encountered the other student allies and came with a plan to cooperate with them. And now, it's time for them to wait for the time strike.
While Vanoss, alongside Terroriser and Nogls, including that woman Lilith was looking at the tower, three people appeared to the roof and walked towards Vanoss.
"Well, well, it isn't the blonde herself."
"Silence your mouth, Mr. Vanoss." The newcomer said.
Looking back, Vanoss and the rest found a blonde woman, and two other students walking towards Vanoss.
She was Isabella, the leader of [Genius Society] and after hearing Terroriser's words, she thinks he has a point and decides to cooperate with Vanoss.
"I have Nogla keeping an eye on the Hunters guarding the tower," Vanoss said. "Need to be ready in case something shit happens."
"How careful you are..." Isabella nodded and couldn't help but feel admiring, but Vanoss ignored her. He just continued looking at the tower silently. Slightly turning her eyes, Isabella spotted Lilith by the side. "Lilith? The 5th strongest student here?"
"Ah, Isabella, it's been a long time since we ever interacted." Lilith smiled at the blonde woman who gave her a frown look. Ignoring her glare, she turns to Vanoss and tries to strike a conversation.
"Anyway, Mr. Vanoss, I was surprised when you managed to convince the other contestants yesterday," Lilith mentioned without hiding her astonishment. "To be honest, I did not think you would succeed."
"It was in part thanks to this metal guy over there." He pointed to Terroriser, who noticed his gaze and flipped him off.
"Yeah, yeah, shut up and go fuck yourself."
"You don't need to be so rude to your mouth, Terroriser." Lilith giggled and her eyes shone with a mysterious glow. "You should watch your language or you might meet my brother."
Terroriser did not reply. Instead, he looked at the woman carefully before looking away. Feeling this girl was definitely not simple as she kept giving Terroriser an unfathomable feeling.
At that moment, Nogla came up to the roof and said to Vanoss, "Yo Evan, that furry you said is here."
"Mm?" Vanoss raised an eyebrow in surprise. "He is early. Let's go to see him."
Following him, the group then returned to the place they had been using as their hideout.
As soon as they returned, they felt a dangerous presence prickling against their skins. Vanoss and Isabella mostly recognized this presence easily. In fact, those two had faced it just not too long ago.
Standing there was a young man with several features of a white tiger, standing coldly in front of the entrance with his eyes closed.
He was the strongest student of Academy City, Mu Quan. And the same kung fu furry that had beat the living shit out of Vanoss just yesterday.
When he felt their arrival, he opened his eyes and stared at them, mostly Vanoss and Isabella.
"...Vanoss. Isabella."
"Mu Quan." Isabella greeted with a frown, seeming to be not welcome by his presence.
"And we have met again." Vanoss said with a calm smile, "And you're alright... shame."
"Of course. The enemies are weak and are unable to injure me." Mu Quan said matter-of-factly; as if the other students being inferior to him was something normal.
"Um... is this guy always shirtless?" Nogla by their side spoke out as he stared at Mu Quan's well built and muscular physique.
Just like yesterday, Mu Quan wasn't wearing any upper clothing aside from his long silver pants and a torn up loincloth that is jet black on the outside and crimson on the inside and a short silver vest with crimson-black accents. To match his color palette, he also wears silver long sleeved gloves with crimson-black accents.
Aside from his clothing, his expression was indifferent, bordering on coldness, and his body was tense, ready to attack at any moment.
When he looked at Vanoss and the rest, he seemed like a savage beast eyeing his prey.
"Well anyway. Thanks for joining us in our gay club and especially giving me the Coronavirus with your dirty fist," Vanoss said, ignoring the killing intent coming from the silver tiger demihuman who tilted his head, confused about what he meant in the end while his friends, both here present and there watching with the audience held their laugh about his edgy joke.
Well, except for Moo who rolled his eyes.
In response, Mu Quan shook his head, "I just think your team is the most likely to succeed. And if I join this team, there is no way a Hunter with the strength of a demigod alone can stop us."
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Vanoss then ordered, "Is everybody ready!?"
"Yes..."
"Mhm."
"Yeah!"
"Hell yeah!"
"..."
Looking at the faces of his allies. When he saw them nod back, he spoke up again, but louder.
"Now let's get this shit goin'!"
Once Vanoss shouted, literally everyone vanished from his sight.
'Seriously, trying to hoo-dini me? How insulting.'
Forgetting that part, Vanoss stared at the tower with a smirk. With a thought, he ordered his satellite to ready its stronger attack.
After three seconds, his satellite blasted an even larger Subway Sandwich, traveling at light speed that descended upon the earth, targeting the lock right on the Hunters.
Spotting the incoming projectile, one of the Hunters spoke out.
"Guys, should we also feel concerned about this?"
"Nah, that little delicious meal over there seemed harmless towards u-"
BOOOOOMMM!
Cutting the Hunter's sentence off, the giant sandwich made contact right on to his face, which had created an extremely powerful mega-explosion that destroyed the space, and a terrifying attack enough to shake the entire city and its surrounding areas.
On the area where the tower was, the tower was still intact, including the area due to being casted by a spell from the powerful Demigod. However, the sudden attack also obliterated the five Hunters, turning them into chunks of meat.
But due to them being a spiritual life form, pain is inconsequential to them and they can't be killed unless that attack is on the soul level. With this, the five Hunters that were separated into multiple pieces over there, their physical bodies began to regenerate into their full glory for a couple of seconds.
But that couple of seconds is enough for the groups around the tower to move.
"Let's gooooooooooo!" Nogla shouted. He then raised a wooden shovel as he and hundreds of people all charged towards the tower quickly. In less than a second, they had already appeared before their target.
Each group had chosen one of the Hunters as their target.
To Lilith, she ran with a group of fifty students, she planned on taking the Hunter with the spear alongside with Nogla.
"Come on, Mr. Gentlesir, we should take him out first while your friends and the others will-... huh?"
When Lilith looks at her group, she notices Nogla is nowhere to be seen.
Feeling something, she looked to her side and spotted the person she was looking for, alongside Terroriser and Vanoss secretly running towards the small gap.
Then, she finally realized that it turns out that Nogla just got her and the other students' trust, got more students and made them as bait for the Hunters, distracting them while the three just secretly went through that tiny gap.
How pitiful.
"Oh, okay... he just ditches us."
----------------------
"""AHAHAHAHAHA!!"""
The three assholes laughed their asses off as they had ditched the army they had created. Well, they are cannon fodders to them anyway. And they don't absolutely give a flying fuck about the audience that was watching, criticizing them.
As Vanoss, Terroriser, and Nogla were about to reach the tower, all of sudden, a wall of flames emerged from the earth and reached to the heavens, blocking their route of victory.
But strangely, those flames seemed to be in black color.
Eerie whistling music suddenly emerges from the wall of black flames.
Recognizing the whistle, this shivers Vanoss and Nogla, except for Terroriser though. Turning around slowly, coming right from the soul defying flames was the Wolf.
Casually walking through the black flaming walls that could burn souls even more powerful than hellfire itself, the Wolf stared at the three with a grin.
Widening his eyes in disbelief, Nogla thought, 'Wait, the strange thing I feel within you. You are no ordinary spiritual being, you are-'
"DEATH"
The Wolf, who calls himself Death said in a dark and ominous voice.
"And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. I'm Death, straight... u-"
Before Lobo could finish his sentence, Vanoss simply cuts him off, "Yeah! Yeah! We watch the film so shut the fuck up, protos."
"Yeah, we ain't having time for another Dreamwork set up." Terroriser added as he placed his hands on his waist.
"Haha, alright, I also didn't expect you to ditch your friends there."
"Correction, they aren't our friends. Just cannon fodder to us." Vanoss corrected before realizing something. "Wait a minute, I didn't see you there among those five Hunters!"
"Right, you didn't, because I was just laying around, you know."
"So you're like the 6th Hunter?" Terroriser asked.
"Yup. Anyway, enough chitchatting. I should do my job from what my summoner had asked me."
Taking a step forward, he instantly brought out his pair of sickles and spun them around while gazing in the direction of Vanoss' group.
"Banana Bus Squad, I have heard many of your stories and achievements and face so many dangers ahead of you. But I do wonder, if you feel fear in the face of DEATH."
Chuckling in excitement, he muttered silently.
"This is going to be fun."
The group's expressions changed. For an instant, they felt an overwhelming pressure changing towards them, but that pressure was not enough to intimidate Terroriser. As soon as Lobo attacked, the group jumped back.
"Ahhh! We should've chosen Delirious when we needed one!" Terroriser shouted as he brought out a metal ball and tossed it to Lobo before exploding.
But instead of a fiery blast, the gravity around Lobo suddenly becomes intense and increases drastically, multiplying the average gravity to thousands of times.
With a grunt, Lobo felt his body turning heavy, and his movements became just a bit slower. But that is enough to stop Lobo as he can still move faster than sound, even in the middle of the intense gravity increase.
However, that was everything Terroriser needed. With a thought, he turned his show into a wave of metallic sand that engulfed Death.
Lobo snorted. With a growl of a wolf, his pair of shackles were swung against the ground, creating a powerful wave of darkness that shredded the wave of metallic sand almost entirely.
But during that time, Vanoss had readied his sniper.
"Its Wolf season time!"
BANG!
As the bullet was shot from the barrel of the Sniper, the bullet instantly struck at Lobo's head, though it didn't pierced through his head and simply recochets, it did forcibly pushed his head by the force of the bullet.
"Hm." Lobo did not seem to bother with the bullet. Instead, he swung his shackles again, creating another wave of darkness that pushed Terroriser and Nogla from him.
The group had already anticipated something like that, though. In the sky, Vanoss' Orbital cannon lit up, unleashing a torrent of Subway Sandwiches that forced Lobo to stop his attack and evade.
At the same time, Terroriser throws another metallic ball towards Death.
Once it landed near his feet, it exploded, creating a translucent sphere that appeared around Lobo, creating a strong suctioning force that constricted his movements.
Moreover, Terroriser's shoe moved again, arriving at Lobo's leg and unleashing a powerful electric current that zipped him.
Affected by this combo, Lobo's movements were momentarily stopped for just a millisecond.
But that single millisecond is everything Vanosd and the others needed. By using that opening, they rushed towards the exit of the walls of black flames then to the tower.
"You can't escape from Death!"
Not planning to let them go so easily, even when his movements were severely restricted for just a millisecond, Lobo bellowed and brought out his scythe which was coated in dark energy before raising it.
"RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Roaring like a rampaging God of Death, the scythe erupted in complete darkness and flew in Vanoss and the others' direction. Although Lobo only used less than 10% of his power onto that scythe, it is still enough to wipe out all death in a massive city as the speed ofit travels so fast while the distance was so short that it was unavoidable.
But at that moment, Nogla turned around, tensed up his muscles, and took a defensive stance. Green-colored energy around him became so dense that anything several kilometers around them suddenly became affected.
Gritting his teeth, Nogla threw a punch and bellowed!
"Hup🎵"
Even Nogla just send out an effortless punch that he didn't take it too seriously, it was enough to create a powerful shockwave that blew the shadowy scythe away. Not only that, the wall of black flames that Lobo created had a hole in it, including countless buildings in the city were completely decimated to dust.
Terroriser and Vanoss' eyes widened, never knew Nogla has such godly strength.
Well, atleast he did some help.
But suddenly, when the three were so close to the exit, Vanoss expression changed. Using his satellite, Vanoss saw an attack flying towards them at great speed.
*BOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
A strong impact hit the ground close to tje three. The impact was incredibly powerful. So powerful that none of the three was able to stop it completely. As a result, they were thrown backward like a bunch of ragdolls.
As they stood back up, they saw a huge cloud of dust. Terroriser, who stood between Vanoss and Nogla used his sensors from his cybernetic eyes to zoom in to the cloud smoke to check, only to see a pair of green eyes.
"No way..."
Thud! Ting! Thud! Ting! Thud! Ting!
Utter silence had engulfed the entire fields. The only sound in this silent atmosphere was the footsteps of the person within the cloud of dust, blades made impact on the ground making sparkling noises until a figure came out, and to the three's shock...
The 7th Hunter had appeared.
"Ah shit! This is like when the toughest players in dodgeball are on the same team 💀" Nogla said in utter nervousness.
"Seriously, two Dreamworks villains team up against us? Is that even fair!?" Terroriser complained.
"I mean, isn't that cool?" Vanoss looked at his friends with a smile, only for them to glare at him to shut up.
"Ah, Kai, what a surprise." Lobo snickered as he appeared beside the Bull-like beastmen named Kai.
"Shut up, Wolf. I'm only here to play with this mortal game that our summoner told me."
"I know, you better be thankful from that Demigod that return you back from existence." Lobo said.
"Oh don't tell me about the topic of existence, it reminds my death from that damn Panda."
"Anyway, lets get on with this." Lobo looked back at the group and readied himself while Kai rolled his eyes in annoyance and stared at the group.
"Shit!" Terroriser cursed under his breath as he watches as the two Dreamworks villains ruahes towards them at breaknecking speed. This was the absolute worst situation possible.
The first to attack was Kai as he slashed down his Jade swords at Nogla who dodged the attack, standing up, Kai then threw his weapons at Nogla who moved left and right, avoiding the weapons before summoning his Stand and jumped forward. As he appeared in front of Kai, he unleash a barrage of punches.
"BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!! BONK!!"
"BONKKK!!!"
BAM!
With one stronger punch, Nogla's Stand impact its fist right on Kai's face. But shockingly, he seemed unfazed.
"Child's play."
As he says that, turning his palm into fist, Kai used 10% of his strength at Nogla's Stand, but that small amount of strength is enough to harm Cupcake, when the damage was directed to Nogla, he felt his cheekbone suddenly broke, causing him to feel utterly shock, disbelief, and immense pain.
"What the!? How?"
"Oh little mortal, you supposed to know that only mortals couldn't harm these type of spiritual beings you have..."
All of a sudden, Kai appeared in front of Nogla and before could move, he grab him by his shirt and his Stand by the throat, then he instantly pulled Nogla close to his face.
"But I... am a Spirit Warrior."
After saying that, he forcibly slammed both user and the Stand to the ground, and at extremely fast speed, he moved forward along with the two sliding through the ground before yeeting them into the air and throw his pair of Jade swords attach with chains at their direction.
"AHHHHHHHH [TIME STOP]!"
While in midair, Nogla had turned the world into monochrome and came to halt, just in time before Kai's chain bladed weapons could entagled Nogla.
Once time came to a halt, Nogla didn't waste time to use his Stand and himself to fly themselves behind Kai and they both sent out a kick back towards the back of his head.
However...
Just as their feet reach a foot away from Kai's face, to Nogla's surprise, he simply caught his leg with his hand, while on stop time.
"Idiot! Demigods' immunity towards time-based abilities is an absolute common knowledge!"
"Oh shiet-!"
Cutting Nogla's words off is when Kai slams him on the ground twice and stops... before slamming him again on the ground hard, creating huge craters with each slam before letting go of him.
"Puny mortal."
With a stern gaze, he thrust the green blades towards Nogla's back.
However, before it could made contact, Nogla's hair stood up, a large green aura emitted from his body as the air around the two become extremely dense, enough to kill a person as a powerful sense of danger filled his body.
"HAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
With a cry, Nogla turned around and his Stand was released again.
The Stand, with the appearance of a muscular Doggo appeared on his back, showing a majestic presence as he wield a large baseball bat on his hands.
Reeling its arm that carried the bat back, at the same time, Nogla also reeled his fist back too.
With a true JoJo face, he roared.
"IMMA BEAT YOUR ASS, FAT RETARD!!!"
All of Nogla's remaining mana and his physical strength were put into that baseball bat before releasing it.
BOOM!!!
A powerful explosion resounded, shaking the whole surrounding areas of Nogla and Kai, creating an enormous five meters deep crater beneath them and sending countless items from small rocks to small boulders flying.
And to Lobo's shock while he was fighting Terroriser and Vanoss, the wall of black flame he created that can be taken away is only himself was completely blew away by the force Nogla created.
Taking a few steps back, Kao grunted as he looked at his chest to see a red mark on it. And to be honest, for the first time since he was killed by Master Oogway, he felt pain, similar to physical pain he felt when he was still a mortal, a pain from his spiritual body by a spiritual weapon that appears to be an ordinary Club, which kinda sounds ridiculous.
Standing there, Nogla gaze at Kai while a sweet iron taste filled his mouth, and a line of blood slid down hiz lips. His eyes, however, were filled with glee.
While Kai was on deep in thought, Nogla used this as his advantage and kicked the ground, and under Kai's surprised gaze, his body flew backward towards the tower.
"NO YOU DON'T!"
As Nogla flew towards the tower, just less a millisecond, he had reach the entrance of the tower and just half a feet left, he and his friends will successfully fulfilling the goal of the hunt.
But just before could reach half an inch from entering the tower, someone suddenly grabbed his neck and threw him back to the battle.
"RAGHHH!"
Almost at the same time, Lobo, in front of Vanoss and Terroriser swung down his deathly scythe at them.
A powerful pressure attacked the both of them as they could feel anything in the surroundings just died and the feeling of sudden death headed towards them by the second.
But in contrast to the violent attack coming towards to the both of them, they seemed to be calm, planning to do an ultimate combo with the help of the power of teammate.
But before that, they were suddenly got hit by a fast speeding Nogla and drop on the ground.
"...Ow." Vanoss said.
"WHAT THE HELL, NOGLA!?" Terroriser exclaimed at Nogla. But his friend couldn't reply back when both Lobo and Kai stood in front of their laying body.
"End of the game, you three." Lobo grin at the three as he and Kai both raised their weapons and ready to eliminate them on the game.
"Fuck this shit."
Sighing in frustration, Terroriser has no choice but to use his ultimate technique. Amd no, itw not run away, its impossible though.
Without hesitation, he tossed the ball on his hand towards the two. Simultaneously, he pulled the trigger on his shotgun, shooting the ball when it was at the height of Kai's eyes.
BANG!
A blinding light and a deafening sound erupted from the metallic ball, it could dazzle anyone in an instant, but...
"..." Lobo and Kai stared at it with blank looks, unfazed before Lobo said, "You really think that cheap trick will-... huh?"
"Eh? What are you guys doing?" Lobo asked with a questioning look as he and Kai looked each other before stared back at the two just dancing in front of them weirdly. But then, they noticed one of them was missing.
Realizing something, they both turned around, and found Terroriser was inside the tower, looking towards him with a smirk before typing something in mid-air.
Feeling something is wrong, they both immediately turn back to Vanoss and Nogla's direction, only to see them disappear and reappear beside Terroriser who turns out he uses commands to TP them to him.
"That's our win! Ha!" Terroriser laughed at the two Dreamworks villains, giving them the L sign.
The three members of the Dupe Group's success to reach the tower surprised not only Lobo but also all their companions.
None of them expected they had succeed after being intercepted by two Hunters. But in the end, and to the surprise of many, the three had managed to successfully bypass the two Hunters.
"You two are awesome~!" Lilith said without hiding her admiration. In fact, she seemed like she wanted to jump and hug those three due to her excitement.
Unfortunately for her, none of them were interested in receiving her hug at this moment as they just ignore the woman who somehow was inside the tower already.
And also...
'Does she know we ditch them not long ago?' Terroriser thought and asked himself why this woman isn't pissed off at them. This increased his suspicion.
Almost ten minutes has passed. Soon, more students arrived at the tower too.
Two hundred people that participated in this operation, thirty-two managed to arrive at the tower. Pretty much 84% of them were caught by the Hunters.
In fact, the three only managed to reach the tower due to luck. They were lucky that the foxkin woman did not target them.
Finally, Vanoss and Nogla's tiredness caught up to them. Both of them sat on the ground exhausted and leaned their backs against each other.
Soon, soft snoring sounds came out of their's mouths, mostly Nogla who let out the most loudest one. Their were not the only one, though. Several other students also decided to rest after their exhausting confrontations against the Hunters.
They only woke up around three hours later, the Demigod, who summoned the Hunters from different dimensions finally came.
"...To be honest, I never thought so many of you would pass. Only eight or so of you should have remained by this point. I guess this challenge was too easy after all."
The student looked at the Demigod with speechless looks.
Easy? Several of them almost died before reaching the tower, and this was easy?
Ignoring the students' thoughts, the Demigod smiled, "Well, it means that the talented students in Academy City is quite promising, and I'm proud of that." The Demigod then narrowed his eyes and looked at each candidate with an imposing presence.
"Anyway, now I will ask each one of you to give me the tags you collected."
The students nodded. Then, they took their badges to the Demigod one by one.
First was a girl. She managed to gather a total of seventy tags. Surprisingly, she had one of the best results among the thirty two candidates.
Most of the others had only thirty or sixty tags. One of them even had only ten tags in total. In fact, when Terroriser showed his one hundred tags with a confident smile, the other candidates looked at him with admiration and wariness.
Then it was Lilith and Isabella's turn. Isabella gathered ninety tags, ten more than Lilith who gathered ninety.
Soon, it was Vanoss and the gang were called.
The Demigod took their tags and looked at them then at the three and grinned, "For Team 6, we have a hundred forty, a hundred thirty, and a hundred twenty, which in total is three hundred tags. That is a lot."
A commotion arose in the surroundings, Vanoss just nodded with a confident smile and returned to his place, his expression caused the people to look at him, he could feel the gazes of the other students on him, which was filled with wariness, admiration, and envy.
"Hm, not bad." Lilith, standing beside Isabella, nodded slightly. Apparently impressed by this group of men.
While Vanoss and the others were lost in their own world, the Demigod continued calling to the other candidates.
Finally, he arrived at Mu Quan, who is the only person who chose himself from his club alone in the challenge. He requested him to show him the amount of tags he got.
With an indifferent expression, Mu Quan nodded and handed his tag to the Demigod, but when he looked at the amount, the Demigod couldn't hide his surprise.
A total of five hundred tags.
