Chapter 226 Tough Battle 2
Following keenly after him, Nolan threw his chain forward.
It forcibly jerked in a mysterious manner, causing the chain to move around like a snake and wrap around his neck.
In the next instant, his legs anchored to the ground as the runic lines covering them burst forth with more light.
VROOOOOOOOM
VROOOOOOOOM
VROOOOOOOOM
A mini-storm rose into the air as Nolan dashed forward with speed, his long fiery chains drawing across the body of the figure who could only watch numbly as the chains tightly bound him before unwinding suddenly.
SPUUUUURRRTTTTTT
Blood burst out like a wave as the chains tightened their hold, golden light bursting out from them and the crocodile man collapsed to his knees, blood spilling out from every orifice, and his eyes deadened from the pain.
Goriath tried to struggle against the chain\'s hold, but failed miserably as he felt his energy quickly dissipating as if being drained by something.
"Impossible..." he thought, feeling all of his strength ebb away.
Before he could fully break through, a dagger tore out of his chest, coming from the other side.
All signs of resistance instantly faded away from him.
Blood slowly dripped out as Goriath tried to turn his head, but failed as Nolan dragged his dagger upwards, severing flesh and skin, until he completely tore off the entire shoulder.
Goriath\'s lifeless body fell to the ground, intestines and blood spilling out before he too collapsed into his own pool of blood.
Deader than dead.

"WATCH OUT!!!"
A sudden scream suddenly resounded through the area, incredibly loud and filled with a crazy amount of energy that sent powerful shockwaves rippling through the area.
Reflexively, Nolan disappeared from where he stood.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
The sound of the air being ripped apart rang out as an object flashed by Nolan\'s neck in the shape of a card, red blood spraying through the air, before it exploded, sending another powerful wave of energy through the area.
Twenty meters away, Nolan\'s figure reappeared, crouched on the ground as his hands reached for his own neck.
He didn\'t even need to touch it before he felt cold blood running down his neck— a deep line had been carved through his neck, almost completely severing his head.
\'I... I almost died!?\'
\'How?\' Nolan thought in shock as his eyes slowly moved to the side where he saw one of the Alconians, the one buried under the dirt, now standing with a strange device in his hands.
"He dodged the Phantom Death Card!!"
"Damn it, that\'s the only one I have left."
"I have to get out of here..."
The figure said and immediately it quickly disappeared among the leaves, going invisible, and separating from the scene, but not long after...
---
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
A blood-curdling scream resounded through the entire area, before quickly falling silent.
Automatically, the battle between the girl and the remaining two crocodile men instantly stopped, and they all couldn\'t help but look in the direction where one could see the rustling of leaves, and soon a figure exited.
It was a figure covered in blood, with a dagger by his side, which dripped as blood slowly rained down.

And immediately, their spines went cold.
The figure was none other than Nolan, and with his body filled with blood, one could easily guess the fate of the one who had run away.
"The one amongst you two who answers my question most satisfactorily will be spared..." Nolan called out, stepping out completely as he looked at the remaining two who stared petrified at him.
But that led to their downfall, as a claw suddenly tore out from both of their chests, ghostly green, and immediately...
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
The sound of something forcefully jerked out rang out as the two bodies, filled with regret and shock in their eyes, slammed down face-flat on the ground.
With a slight open mouth, Nolan looked at the green girl covered in blood, whose huge claws were currently holding onto two organs that were beating hard in her grasp as if they were alive.
It was none other than the green girl, and she had ripped out the hearts of the ones whom Nolan wanted to question.
What made Nolan surprised wasn\'t the fact that he had just lost an opportunity to learn more about this world—since he could sense they were intelligent races—but how cold-blooded the girl before him was to have ripped out two hearts.
Even right now her gaze was cold and blank, only thawing after seeing Nolan\'s shocked face, and both hearts soon dropped onto the ground.
\'I have always made sure to never go too violent in front of her, yet how did she grow so cold-blooded and callous?\' Nolan thought as his lips moved.
"Are you okay?"
"Did you get hurt anywhere?" Nolan asked, concerned, deactivating his Crown of Kratos and keeping his dagger away while approaching her.
Taking her hands into his, Nolan checked her body with narrowed eyebrows looking for injuries, but he found not a single one, and his rapidly beating chest automatically calmed a lot.
\'Thank God she\'s safe...\' he thought to himself.
"Now go wash your hands in the river, and get rid of that blood on you."
"Come on, go on..." Nolan said as he cajoled her to leave the area, and this time she obliged, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Once she disappeared, Nolan\'s eyes narrowed as he carried the corpses on the ground one by one, quickly disappearing away from his settlement, heading into the forest.
Once he got sufficiently far away, he dumped their bodies on the ground and started searching them.
After properly ransacking them for everything they possessed, his dagger appeared as he cleaved open the ground, and threw all four bodies within, before covering it back and quickly leaving the area.
