Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

The flame vortex died down after scorching the hundred meters area. The surrounding buildings were completely melted down under the flame.

Despite the fierce flame, there was a body laid down on the ground. The body had his face on the ground. Yes, Draco's body was still intact. It was just he lost the luster scales. What left was the scorched Draconian.

Butcher Wang was the first one to approach the body. He stood next to the body, kicked the leg.

Seeing no response from the Draconian, Butcher Wang squatted next to the body and flipped the body.

Draco had his eyes closed but he still could hear weak breath from the creature.

'He is still alive even after that…' Butcher Wang was amazed by the creature's strong body. The last arrow was no joke.

Then he raised his thumb to the two girls. Indicating their job was done.

Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue then walked toward the body. Even after all of that, they did not lower their guard down.

"Fyuhh…" Kang Seo-Yeon was relieved when she felt the weak breath come from Draco. Her last arrow was not intended to kill the Draconian but to take him down.

"Fortunately I lowered my power to fifty percent, if not, he would be dead for sure,"

This time, Butcher Wang was amazed by Kang Seo-Yeon.

'Fifty percent? That arrow contained only fifty percent of her power?'

"You are not joking, right?" Butcher Wang blurted out.

"Nope. My Husband asked us to bring him intact or alive if possible, so I reduced my arrow's power by fifty percent," Kang Seo-Yeon answered honestly while pointing her index finger at the unconscious Draco.

"Let's pack up, Uncle! Heero may need something from this Draconian!" Bai Xin Yue made the decision. She felt her husband needed something important from the Draconian hence she wanted to go to the Sun Dome quickly.

'Hah… I regret it… I should have asked him to teach me more than just fancy footsteps…'

Butcher Wang started to lament about his past decision after witnessing Kang Seo-Yeon's true strength. It was just not just fancy flame arrows, she could even turn the sky into flame.

With a sigh, the grumpy Butcher Wang picked the body. Then they headed back to the Sun Dome. Leaving the ruined city behind.

"I like your confidence, young'un! However…" Before the old man could finish with his words, Musashi Hirata's figure vanished.

The old man immediately raised his wooden staff.

Dak! Dak! Dak!

Musashi Hirata appeared again in front of him, with countless invisible blades slashed at him.

The old man tried to block the blades with his wooden staff while retreating. Even so, a few blades passed his defense.

The old man's robe got a few cuts, the shoulder, the thigh, and the left chest. The old man himself seemed surprised. He thought he had blocked all blades.

After fending off Hirata's blade, he distanced himself from Hirata. He got twenty meters from the guy. He was still confused a little.

However, Sun Zhou Yi did not give the old man a chance to rest. Countless Ki Swords surrounded the old man from all sides, giving him no room to escape.

"These two guys are truly annoying…" At the same time, he said those words, the Ki Swords flew toward him, all of them.

Tak!

The old man tapped his wooden staff onto the ground.

Right before the Ki Swords could hit the old man, the old man suddenly vanished. The Ki Swords missed the target and destroyed the empty ground.

Sun Zhou Yi was at loss for a moment. The old man just vanished like that, he did not see a movement either with his Mystical Eyes.

"I will take care of you first for the start!" Then Sun Zhou Yi heard the old man's voice from behind.

Sun Zhou Yi remained composed despite the old man's sudden appearance behind him. Why? It was because Musashi Hirata had moved before the old man spoke.

Musashi Hirata's very fast footsteps caught up. He was already next to Sun Zhou Yi when the old man said his piece just now.

The old man was left with two choices. He struck Sun Zhou Yi with his wooden staff but he would get struck by Musashi Hirata's sword.

The second one was to retreat. Letting the golden chance to kill Sun Zhou Yi slipped just like that.

The old man chose the second choice. After exchanging a few blows against Musashi Hirata, he was not confident he could leave intact.

Swoosh!

Musashi Hirata's sword passed through his face. If the old man was late at any second, the sword might split his head open.

Just as the old man landed ten meters away, the thousands of Ki Swords surrounded him again.

Again, he tapped his wooden staff on the ground and his body vanished.

"It's teleportation Master talked about…" Musashi Hirata muttered under his breath.

The next second, the old man appeared again behind Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi. However, it was not just one old man, but many old men. Many same old men were surrounding the two.

"Die!" A deafening voice rang through the old men's mouths. The old men slammed their wooden staffs toward the two at the same time.

Boom!

A huge crater formed at where Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata stood just now. The crater was the same shape as the old man's wooden staff. It was just that the crater was much bigger than the wooden staff.

"Tsk, what sleek brats!" The old man clicked his tongue as the doppelganger started to disappear one by one.

He missed his chance to kill the two guys in one attack.

Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata escaped with Vanishing Steps.

This time, it was the old man who did not give a chance for Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata to take a breath. He tapped the ground with his wooden staff again.

Tak!

He vanished and appeared again in front of Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata. This time, he swung his wooden staff horizontally. The wooden staff was about 1.8 m long, but the moment the old man swung the wooden staff, the wooden staff elongated.

This time, Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata did not try to escape from the old man's wooden staff. Sun Zhou Yi put a hundred Ki Swords to his right, lining it up to block the incoming elongated wooden staff.

Bang!

The Ki Swords and the elongated wooden staff clashed, causing a loud bang noise. The Ki Swords blocked the elongated wooden staff.

At the same time, Musashi Hirata rushed forward.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

His swords made the weird noise as well as he rushed forward. In a flash, Musashi Hirata arrived in front of the old man.

Sheng!

The old man immediately pulled his elongated wooden staff. He was forced to meet with the sword at this moment as it was not possible to use his teleportation when Musashi Hirata already swung the sword toward him.

He crossed his wooden staff to block the incoming sword. At the same time, the old man reinforced the wooden staff with his Ki.

The moment the sword was about to hit the wooden staff, the old man saw a mirage of the sword. Musashi Hirata was holding one sword for sure as the other sword rested on his waist.

'What weird technique now?'

The old man thought as he was ready for any aftermath.

Despite being ready for the incoming sword, the old man was still shocked the moment he received the attack.

Dak! Dak! Dak!

He felt and heard three swords hit his wooden staff.

In the next moment, the old man's eyes widened in shock as unstoppable twisted his both arms.

He tried to fight back but the force took him by surprise.

Weng!

The old man's body spun around in the air as his body shot back, getting flung away by Musashi Hirata's sword.

Swoosh! Boom!

The old man crashed into a house. At the same time, five big swords appeared right on top of the house. Twenty meters long and seven meters wide Ki Sword floated on top of the house.

Bwoosh! Bwoosh! Bwoosh! Bwoosh! Bwoosh!

The five giant swords shot toward the ruined house at the same time.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five giant Ki Swords struck the already destroyed house, totally destroying the poor house.

Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yo regrouped. They did not continue their attack but waited.

Rumble!

The debris shot up as a figure came out of the ruin. The old man lost his right hand and his left leg. With the wooden staff, he managed to walk out of the ruin.

Black blood poured down from his missing hand and leg. Yes, blood with black color, the old man was not the specter but still a human. However, the power he wielded changed his blood's color to black.

Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi saw the old man's face distorted in pain. Then slowly, a tiny hand popped out from the old man's right shoulder. Slowly, the tiny hand was getting bigger and replaced the missing hand.

Yes, the old man just regenerated a new hand. Not only his hand, but the old man also had a new brand leg. It regenerated in the same way as his hand.

After the old man regenerated the new limbs, his expression returned normal. Then he looked toward the direction of the Sun Dome. He could not hear any voice from there.

"It seems they are in danger. I have to finish these two guys fast to help them!"

After muttering his thoughts, the old man raised his head.

"Be proud, Young'un! I will show you why they call me Reaper!"

After saying that, the old man's white skin turned black immediately. The same for his eyes, it also turned black while the pupil turned red. The old man's white hair also turned red as two horns grew on the forehead.

After that, he tapped his wooden staff onto the ground. The wooden staff transformed into a black scythe. The old man truly transformed into something else.

"You can die proudly now, for forcing me to transform!" The old man arrogantly states those.

The Dark Ki around the Reaper was getting denser and denser. The Dark Ki turned his surrounding black as well. It was a sign the land started to become dead land.

Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi exchanged glances. Fear or even nervousness could not be found in their eyes.

"Now die!"

The Reaper then swung his black scythe toward them.

The black scythe released the Dark Ki in the shape of the scythe, two of them.

Boom! Boom!

The scythe landed on both of them. At the same time, the Dark Ki engulfed a two hundred meters area.

After that, the old man turned toward the Sun Dome's direction. He was so confident that Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata would not survive from his scythe.

"Unfortunately, Old Man! Not only you who haven't gone all out yet but we also!"

The Reaper had his pupils shook. He saw a part of his Dark Ki was absorbed by something and the remaining Dark Ki was cut into nothingness.

As the Dark Ki vanished, The Reaper saw what actually happened.

In front of Sun Zhou Yi, there was distorted space, five meters in diameter. The distorted space absorbed his Dark Ki.

On the other side, he saw Musashi Hirata had pulled out the second sword. He was wielding two swords now. With his own eyes, the Reaper witnessed his Dark Ki was cut into nothingness by Hirata.

"Huh, it was close!" Sun Zhou Yi grinned as he wiped the blood on his forehead. Yes, without the training with Niadin, the scythe might take his life just now.

'An old man saved me from another old man, huh!?'

"You are quite scary, but you are still lacking compared to my Master!"

Musashi Hirata had his robe torn down and his back was bleeding.
