Chapter 182 Ivory Lifting
Gabriel killed to his heart's content, slaying seven or eight more people and continuing his rampage up to the seventh floor. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Just as he was about to ascend to the eighth floor, two strange individuals appeared before him.
One was tall and thin, resembling a bamboo pole, while the other was a hunchbacked, bald, and elderly man with a small white mustache.
"It seems this is one of the tough opponents the Deputy Lord mentioned! Voldemon, I, Aran, don't like burdens, so don't hold me back in a while!" said the bamboo pole-like man with a grin, stretching his limbs in preparation for battle.
The bald man, referred to as Voldemon, pulled out two expandable batons from his legs and snorted, "Killing is an art, a skill, something you brute should learn!"
"Art?" Aran sneered, "You're not suited to be a pirate. You should go to a university and pursue a doctorate."
"Shut up, you brute! You're a disgrace to our profession!" Voldemon retorted, glaring at him.
Gabriel stood opposite them, his eyes cold.
Seeing the two bickering, he impatiently shouted, "You two idiots, if you want to argue, go home and do it! I'm here for your lives!"
Now he couldn't stand the sight of pirates, and the two's bickering only added to his annoyance.
He would just kill them!
As soon as he finished speaking, he stormed over, aiming his Heaven Blade at Voldemon.
Voldemon crossed his batons to block the Heaven Blade, cursing at Gabriel, "You're so despicable! Why did you attack me first instead of the taller target? Are you picking on me because I'm old? I'll kill you!"
Aran jumped to the side, clapping and laughing, "Good job! Kill this old man and let him go to hell to learn art from Da Vinci!"
"You two shouldn't be pirates. You should go to The Juilliard School!" Gabriel twisted his body to the limit, taking advantage of Voldemon's distraction to deliver a powerful kick that sent him flying.
"Ouch!"
Voldemon crashed to the ground but quickly got back up, seemingly unharmed except for his anger.
"Not bad legwork! Let me have a try!" Aran, impressed by Gabriel's kick, eagerly threw a kick, his legs long and flexible.
His kick was like a spear thrusting towards Gabriel, who retorted, "I'll destroy you!"
Gabriel switched the Heaven Blade to his left hand, adopted a horse stance, and unleashed a powerful right punch.
"Boom!"
The punch hit Aran's foot, causing him to collapse to the ground. Gabriel, however, remained unmoved, standing tall like a mountain.
In that instant, a gust of cold wind swept out from him, knocking over nearby objects.
"You're so strong! What realm are you in?" Voldemon asked, helping Aran up, his playful demeanor gone.
Aran and he were both Physique-Level fighting masters with extraordinary strength, but Gabriel's power seemed unfathomable to them.
"Realm? Go ask the King of Hell when you're dead!"
Gabriel remained fierce with burning fury. Facing the pirates, he showed no mercy. Every strike was a full-powered, lethal blow. With his full strength, he could destroy anything.
"Aran, let's join forces to kill him!" Voldemon solemnly said to Aran after feeling pressure. Then the two combined their efforts, attacking Gabriel's upper and lower body simultaneously. Of course, the dwarf Voldemon attacked his upper body and Aran his lower part.
Surprisingly, their combined strength allowed them to hold their ground against Gabriel. After five or six moves, Gabriel transformed the Heaven Blade into an iron whip, striking the two and forcing them apart.
"Go to die!"
Then his eyes turned cold, and he put away the Heaven Blade. Then he sprinted forward, leaping high into the air towards Aran.
"Ivory Lifting of the Death Hand!"
While airborne, Gabriel formed a peculiar gesture with both hands, which resembled two elephant tusks.
After getting the Death Hand at the auction, when he was free at night, he had practiced the first moves of it and had generally mastered them.
Aran, who had never seen such techniques, paled in fear. He retreated hastily, attempting to defend himself. However, Gabriel demonstrated the full power of his waist and legs, lifting his knees and striking upward.
Aran blocked his knees with both hands, but Gabriel pressed his arms against himself and thrust his arms upward, forcefully piercing through Aran's body.
This was the first move of the Death Hand: the Ivory Lifting, which was powerful and cruel.
Seeing Aran skewered by Gabriel, Voldemon didn't care about anything else and tried to flee.
He was no match for this violent man!
But after he had just taken a few steps, two women stopped him.
"Where are you going, old man?"
Both women were stunning, resembling delicate dolls. One of them was Ebony Diaz.
"Get out of my way! I have no time to play with you!"
Seeing that they were just women, Voldemon didn't take them seriously and continued to run.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong!
Ebony raised her right leg and stomped her foot, her high heel almost crushing his head.
"Ah?" Voldemon dodged in a panic, only to be attacked by the other woman's high heel.
This time, he failed to avoid it and was kicked in the stomach, the ten-centimeter heel sinking into his body.
"Bitch!" Voldemon cursed while retreating. But after three steps, he felt a terrifying chill and shuddered. Slowly turning his head, he saw Gabriel's blood-red eyes.
"To hell!"
With a swish, the Heaven Blade sliced through Voldemon's neck. Blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
So, the two excellent fighters sent by Rafael to assassinate Gabriel were killed by him.
"Mr. Edwards, nice to meet you again!"
Ebony smiled charmingly, and the woman beside her introduced herself, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Edwards. I'm Ebony's companion, Mona Riley."
Gabriel just nodded, his bloodstained body exuding extreme coldness.
Even now, Ebony remained a mystery to him.
Although she had helped him greatly by giving him the human skin mask and verifying Cynthia as one from God Temple, things were still unclear, so he remained cautious about the two women.
"Mr. Edwards, your cold demeanor really chills the heart!" Ebony couldn't help but shake her head, adding, "I thought that after going through the things these days, we could build a bond!"
Gabriel frowned, "I'm a person who is fair and just. I won't forget the help you've given me, but I don't believe in unconditional love in this world. You must have your reasons for eagerly helping me, but I'm too busy to investigate it now. Let's see each other around!"
Now he had only two things on his mind: killing the pirates and finding the Ice Ganoderma. He didn't want to waste energy on anything else.
Although Ebony had helped him, he didn't bother to pay her any attention.
Just as he was about to leave, Ebony spoke again, "Mr. Edwards, Rafael's men have planted bombs on the three fuel tanks of the cruise ship. Once they've looted the ship's wealth, they'll detonate the bombs. If the fuel tanks explode in a chain reaction, even the thickest hull won't withstand the blast! This massive vessel will sink by then!"
