Just as Brutus lifted his sword to cut off Valery’s arm, a small dark sun appeared a few meters above the frozen ground and a large area was engulfed in darkness.
When darkness suddenly engulfed the area, Brutus’ expression changed and he quickly created a metal shield behind him.
Bang!
The metal shield Brutus created shattered with a loud bang and a small black claw struck him right at his back.
Cough *
Brutus coughed out blood because of the impact and was sent flying away.
When Valery heard the sound of the loud bang she quickly opened her eyes, but all she saw around her was darkness.
“What the hell is happening now?” Valery muttered in a dazed voice while looking around in the darkness. The darkness was very thick and she could see only a few meters in front of her.
Swish!
Brutus who just crashed to the ground heard the sound of wind slicing and all hairs on his body stood up.
He tried to jump away to avoid the attack but to his dismay, because his body was frozen from the left side, he was not able to move away in time.
A sharp claw came towards his neck slicing apart the wind, in the last second Brutus lifted his right hand and covered it in metal to stop the claw.
Puchi!
“Argh” a painful scream rang out and red blood gushed out like a fountain as a hand was sent flying into the sky.
When Valery heard Brutus’s scream she stood up with difficulty and moved in the direction of the scream.
“Fu*k, what kind of monster is this?” Brutus tried to stop the blood that was coming out from his severed arm and looked at the small panther in front of him with fearful eyes.
The panther was just an A rank monster, but the aura that was coming out from its body was comparable to an A+ rank monster.
Eclipse’s purple eyes flashed when he saw the fearful look in Brutus’s eyes and his body suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Brutus tried to sense Eclipse’s position, but the darkness that was covering the area was restricting his senses so he was not able to find it.
‘I need to get out of here’ Brutus immediately decided to run away when he wasn’t able to find Eclipse’s position.
His left arm was still frozen and he just lost his right arm, currently he was so weak that even an A rank hunter could kill him.
But just as he thought about running away, he felt a stinging pain in his abdomen and staggered backwards.
“Argh” Brutus looked down at his abdomen and was terrified to see a deep claw mark there. Blood was coming out from the wound, and even his guts were visible from it.
Woosh!
Suddenly Eclipse appeared in front of Brutus and its claw headed towards his neck, wanting to end his life.
“Die you wretched monster” but before Eclipse’s claw could touch his neck, tens of sharp metal spikes came out of the ground and pierced its body.
Puff
But just as metal spikes pierced Eclipse’s body, it burst into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
‘Not good’
Swish!
Suddenly Brutus heard the sound of wind slicing and tried to move away. But before he could move away, a sharp claw covered in a deep black aura came from behind his back and touched his neck.
Brutus just felt a sharp cold sensation on his neck and his eyes met with the burning purple eyes of Eclipse before his head was sent flying into the sky.
A fountain of blood came out from Brutus’ body and he dropped to the ground motionless.
Valery who was following the sound of fighting just arrived there and saw how a small black monster beheaded Brutus.
When Valery arrived there and Eclipse looked at her, she felt a chill running down her spine. Currently, she was in a weakened state and she knew that the monster in front of her could kill her without any effort.
But Eclipse just glanced at her for a moment before ignoring her.
Evan had asked Eclipse to keep an eye on Noah when the team of Arcanum Academy arrived in Central City. (Chapter- 406)
He thought that since Noah had a unique physique, there was a chance that the dark guild would try to capture him.
But nothing like that happened during the time Eclipse was keeping an eye on him.
Evan was disappointed when Dark Guild didn’t try to attack Noah because he wanted to gather some information from them.
While leaving for the stadium from the hotel, Evan thought about summoning back Eclipse but in the end, he decided to let it go with Noah so that it would immediately inform him if anything happened.
Even after arriving in the stadium, Eclipse was following Noah. It stopped following him when the participants entered the small world. Evan was afraid that if Eclipse went inside the small world, Natasha would be able to sense it so he asked it to just wait for Noah to come out.
When all the participants went inside the small world, Eclipse just stood in one of the corners of the stadium field without doing anything, and when participants came out and Denis activated the formation, it was teleported away with them.
A few minutes after being teleported away, Evan contacted it using his shadow senses and after looking at the situation, he asked it to help Valery and others in case of emergency.
So when It saw Brutus was about to cut off Valery’s arm Eclipse used its unique skill ‘Eclipsing Strike’
—) Eclipsing Strike (Unique Skill): You can summon a temporary solar eclipse for three minutes, shrouding the area in darkness. During this time, you will gain immense power. Cool down time: four hours
Because of using its unique skill Eclipse’ power increased greatly, and since Brutus was already injured by Valery, it was not hard for it to kill him.
Valery sighed in relief when she saw the panther did not attack her.
Slowly the darkness covering the area started to disappear and the surroundings returned to normal.
The cage that was trapping Sophie and others also disappeared when Eclipse killed Brutus.
After coming out of the metal cage they all looked around and after seeing Valery quickly went towards her.
“Are you a_”
“Shhh” Sophie wanted to ask if she was fine but Valery signalled her to keep quiet and pointed in front of her.
When Sophie and others looked in the direction Valery was pointing, their eyes opened wide as they saw Brutus’s headless corpse and a black panther that was breaking the silver-white ice that was covering Brutus’s left arm.
After slicing the ice that was trapping Brutus’s left arm Eclipse took off his storage ring and disappeared from there.
Mark and the others looked at everything with dumbfounded looks on their faces not understanding why a monster took away Brutus’ storage ring.
But suddenly something clicked in Caleb’s mind when he remembered the appearance of the panther and his eyes opened wide.
He looked at Sophie, Mark and David, and noticed their eyes were also wide open.
‘That monster was looking very similar to the black hippo that Evan summoned during monster tide’ they all thought at the same time and suddenly understood why the Panther took away Brutus’ storage ring.
