Meanwhile, David noticed that there was still fresh blood on Augustus’s index finger. Now, he understood everything. The human aura he sensed earlier must have come from these two. When they used the “Sacrificial Blood” ability, they had to activate their own powers, which allowed David to keenly detect them.
With this in mind, David glanced at the two with a slight frown, feeling somewhat puzzled. He hadn’t expected that these seemingly ordinary guys could use their abilities in the realm of ghostly zombies. However, sensing the faint rotten aura emanating from them, David understood that their abilities must somehow resonate with the realm, rendering them unaffected.
After figuring out the general identities of Eamonn and Augustus, David smiled lightly at Augustus and asked, “So, you came here for me? Do I know you?”
David had no impression of these two; he had never met them before. Hearing David’s question, Augustus sneered contemptuously.
“Whether you know us or not doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that you’re going to die here today! Remember, once the Kill God Gang sets their sights on someone, even a god cannot escape!” Augustus coldly laughed, and the putrid stench around him grew stronger. At the same time, a crimson blood ball rapidly formed in his palm, gradually reaching the size of an apple.
As Augustus’ desire to attack erupted so rapidly, Eamonn also suddenly realized that they couldn’t use their abilities here. This gave the two brothers a perfect opportunity.
With this thought, Eamonn finally revealed a sinister smile. He coldly stared at David and the people around him, saying, “David, prepare to die.” After speaking, Augustus made the first move, throwing the blood ball he had condensed towards David!
Witnessing this, David’s face remained calm, showing no sign of panic. He watched as the blood ball rushed towards him and unhesitatingly reached out to catch it.
Huh? Fatso furrowed his brow in surprise, looking at David’s inexplicable action. He could naturally see the levels and strength of Eamonn and Augustus, and the aura emanating from the blood ball was terrifying. If it hit a person, it would undoubtedly cause fatal damage. Regular people wouldn’t have had time to dodge, yet David, unexpectedly, attempted to catch it barehanded? The others also stared at David in disbelief, their faces filled with intense nervousness. .
Fatso’s concern was not unfounded, but he forgot something. David was already a ninth-level esper. What he didn’t know was that although David couldn’t currently use his abilities, the defensive esper ability he possessed made his physical defense extremely powerful. The pale golden defense layer covering his body could easily withstand an attack launched by a seventh-level esper. That was why David remained unfazed; he had the strength to suppress them.
Augustus’s actions were nothing but a clownish performance. Seeing David’s response, Augustus slowly grinned, his eyes revealing a fiery arrogance.
“Hahaha! Foolish! My Blood Spirit Ball will pierce through your palm and show you my power!” At this moment, Augustus felt like he had already won, and winning was just a matter of course. He saw his Blood Spirit Ball rapidly approaching David until it made contact with his palm.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were blinded by a red light, causing them to instinctively shut their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked by what they saw. The powerful Blood Spirit Ball had been effortlessly caught by David! Moreover, David’s palm was emitting a faint glow from the pale yellow defense layer.
“Impossible! How did he catch my Blood Spirit Sphere?” Augustus stared with wide eyes at David, his face filled with disbelief.
Eamonn felt the same way, finally realizing that the young man in front of him was not as weak as he had imagined.
Playing with the Blood Spirit Sphere in his hand, David looked at Augustus with disdain and said, “You’re too arrogant. Who gave you that confidence? Now, you’ll pay the price for your actions!”
With a flash of cold light in his eyes, David suddenly lunged at Augustus like an arrow released from a bow.
“Amazingly fast!” Fatso couldn’t help but feel astonished as a blur passed by him. In the next moment, David appeared in front of Augustus, lifting his hand and viciously smashing the Blood Spirit Sphere into Augustus’ chest. “Boom!” The Blood Spirit Sphere exploded, creating a massive shockwave.
Augustus felt as if his chest had been torn apart, and the impact sent him flying backward into the concrete wall, spewing blood from his mouth. He lowered his head to see the hole in his chest. He knew better than anyone the power of the Blood Spirit Sphere. But never had he imagined that one day, his own move would be used against him. He glared at David with anger, like an enraged tiger fixated on its prey.
“I will kill you for sure!” he growled, pulling a rib from his own body and charging at David.
However, David was even faster. In an instant, he had retrieved a modified Desert Eagle from his storage system and pointed it at the furious powerhouse.
“Until the next life!” David smiled oddly at Augustus, revealing a hint of mockery. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger. “Bang!” The modified Desert Eagle fired bullets with incredible speed and critical hit rate, enough to penetrate Augustus’ level-seven physical defense. Thirty bullets poured like rain into various parts of his body.
In no time, the sound of the firing pin hitting the bullets echoed from the Desert Eagle. All the bullets hit Augustus, and white smoke emerged from the gun barrel.
David blew the white smoke gently and looked at the now unrecognizable Augustus lying on the ground. There was no breath left in him, and the bullet holes had extinguished his life completely.
Fatso gulped and stared at the Desert Eagle in David’s hand. “Mother of mine! This gun is so powerful?” He was thoroughly shocked by the gun David wielded. Right away, he decided that no matter what, he had to get one from David. With this gun, he would be invincible in the apocalypse!
The other members of the Ember Squad finally relaxed at this moment, looking at Augustus’ corpse with icy cold eyes. Duke leaned against the wall, raised his eyelids to glance at David, and then closed them again, as if the events before him had no effect on him.
