The fast steps swept through the unique dungeon.
Other than the husband, who else could it be? He was an archer, so his agility had to be high. But in Kyoya's case, he was getting a lot of stats just from the quest of the death god. His level ups were also increasing his stats passively, so Kyoya was that damn cheating bastard!
"There is another one!"
"Assassin?"
If Kyoya is truly an assassin, then he is a damn joke as his steps were echoing throughout the forest as if in a soundtrack. Even if not the assassin, he fucked up his chance to silently kill or wound one of them!
The adventurers sneered at him, then the one with a thin sword rushed to intercept his rush.
"Watch out for the hidden archer!"
"Yeah!"
Leaving such a message, the sword adventurer brandished his sword. He swung it straight at Kyoya whose charge looked unstoppable. Only the collision of two weapons could halt his steps.
And so it did.
Clang!
Small sparks flashed between the two, then Kyoya slid his knife through the sword creating a small distance for himself. In the next second, he came back to the sword adventurer and yet again struck his weapon.
Because his weapons are knives, Kyoya simply has to move a lot. He was never close with the sword adventurer for more than ten seconds, constantly retreating and coming back to deliver a blow.
His knives are around twenty centimeters, but during his spars with Anoke, both of them were always fighting in such way. You either inflict damage or retreat and look for another chance.
The husband was turning slowly into a monkey as he followed this pattern. It was also annoying for the sword adventurer, but his eyes stood calm. He glanced at his friends who were enclosing slowly while the rest had been occupied by Xiaoxiao.
"Instead of wearing armor, you wear a woman! Isn't that actually heavier?"
"What? Are you jealous?"
"Why would I be? I already got a wife waiting for me with a warm dinner!"
"My condolences then! Your wife is going to be a widow from today onward!"
Increasing in pace, the battle of the two turned into close contact one. Kyoya swung his two knives at him with another goal in a mind. It was to suddenly throw a knife during that. When the chance appeared, Kyoya threw his knife straight into an eye that blinked!
"Ahhh!"
The man screamed with terror, his eye bursting out with blood. Following that successful attempt, Kyoya's other knife spun on his palm, then he buried it in another eye, eliciting even more piercing screams.
Only hilts of the knives could be seen on the man's face! He then toppled backward like a puppet without strings.
'Good, I did it… The spars with Anoke are finally paying off.'
The husband cheered inwardly, then his minimap flashed red three times. Adding to his honed instincts, Kyoya's mind shook and he shifted his attention to the side. It was an adventurer with another sword going for the husband.
'Either one or three!'
Saying so, Kyoya allowed the man's attack to be successful. Before that though, his knife left his grasp, tearing through the air. It landed neatly on the man's shoulder, but the sword still slashed through Kyoya's torso. It left a deep wound, but how couldn't it not? The husband was without any armor whatsoever.
[-1042 HP.]
[You are bleeding - -30 HP/1s]
His wife could only use some of her healing skills, but even these proved to be slow. Some time was needed to heal the wound that exposed a lot of Kyoya's flesh to the world.
"He used a skill… Don't worry and focus on my wound."
"Yes, husband."
Before that conversation could ensue, Kyoya rushed past the wounded adventurer. He grabbed his arm and broke it by twisting as much as possible. He then grasped his hair pointing a knife at his neck.
This proved to be useless, though.
The adventurers were ready to abandon their friends to kill Kyoya and get his wife. The attempt to give Xaya time to heal his wound had failed on the spot solely because of his wife.
Not like the husband cared.
If that's the case, then he has to utilize this bastard in another way. His knife sunk into the neck, ending a pitiful life, then threw him straight at the adventurer with shield and mace. It was a man with a 'tank' class or at least something similar to that.
That's why Kyoya didn't want to risk getting influenced by something similar to a 'taunt' that he has given for Anoke. Stopping the incoming tank, the husband kicked the ground to leap off for another pray.
It was already a fruitful battle though. In his current case, it was fine for the husband to take out his bow. But instead of that, he preferred to keep going with the knife, and even throwing it felt stronger and better.
Kyoya felt like he had to use something else for long-distance attacks instead of a knife though. Still, he was just taking a first good step toward his fated path. This very step landed on the adventurer's face right now!
Quite a high leap, husband!
"You little-!"
Throwing the adventurer off his balance, Kyoya threw his knife at his heavy armor. This armor had naturally gaps as it was just second-floor craftsmanship. This armor was screaming with gaps actually.
Thus, the husband couldn't miss it. His sharp eye also found a wound on the tank's body to which he precisely aimed at. Moments later, the tank fell onto his one knee. As for the husband, he reached for his wound…
It was still bleeding and hurting him… It felt like the hell was slowly spreading out from his torso… Deep cut filled with sharp energy! The lack of equipment or measures to keep the bleeding out was way too crucial.
Never in his mind, the thought of blaming Xaya's healing skills appeared. Isn't that a good husband right here? It is certainly a good husband, but this very husband's eyes suddenly dilated.
His vision also blackened with instincts screaming all over him.
In such a black vision, a thick red light shone. It shone from behind and it was exactly the opponent that slipped through the senses of Kyoya's instincts and minimap.
In an instant, Kyoya threw Xaya away from his back, then the powerful blow descended onto him.
[-3502 HP.]
"ARGHHHHHH!"
The sound of bones cracking spread through his mind then. Following that, Kyoya's vision shook and he felt closer to the ground. His legs gave up and so his head as he got smashed yet again by the powerful individual from behind.
It was an attack filled with belief.
Believing in a god is a concept itself. It fuels up the body of the believer and provides the techniques or at least sharpens them. Behind Kyoya, a muscular man stood proudly with his chin high.
He was big-boned, buffed with muscles so much it was like a layer of thick armor. The man's body was flashing with an unknown aura which was like hue around his form. This was the technique that filled him up with more strength, the passive skill he got from his belief and sacrifices.
Thus, it was not strange for him to deal with such a huge amount of damage to the armorless husband. He was also defenseless as the attack got performed silently. His muscles then bulged as he spoke.
"You okay? There is no way he can move with his spine nearly cracked in a half."
"I am fine… But this armor is no longer usable… And I need to treat this wound… This damn knife dug way too deep!"
"Husband! Stand up, husband!"
Of course, the cries of a yandere wife were already reverberating through the forest. The lady had her strength sealed, but strangely enough, even after Kyoya got savaged like that, her power didn't come back!
She cried and even openly cursed at both adventurers, the threats nonstop assailing them. But for the two adventurers, Xaya was just a beauty, nothing more. No, rather than beauty, she was the goddess and so the price of the fallen had been justified. To get her, it was simply worth it.
"Hehe, let's take her."
"Hmm? It is just a weak woman. Let's kill her."
"Ehhh, you idiot…"
And so the strength and reason for the muscular adventurer being so 'elusive' got explained in one sentence. He was strong, but the strength was the only thing within his mind.
The husband who was relying on the special effect of the map got baited by that, believing that the friends of the dude who fucks in the forest are alike.
This was a mistake, but it was a blessing in a disguise!
[Trickster God's deception!]
[Your body is lying to you!]
"Anyway, let's take that woman! Can you shut her up a little? Remember, do it gently! Don't kill her."
"If that's what you want."
The tank was greedy and lustful as expected. He was already undressing Xaya with his eyes alone, but then, he stopped as her face lit up in bliss.
"Don't… touch her… filth."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Like an undead, the husband raised himself. He did it accompanied by the constant sound of the bones cracking which was too eerie. There was no way for a normal human to stand up, yet he did it.
His legs were slightly bent and more blood gushed out from his wound on the torso.
"Amazing will power. Your body will be the perfect sacrifice for Lord Hecas."
The man with muscles instead of the brain returned his attention to the husband. After he complimented his tenacity and will power, his hand reached out for the husband who was breathing heavily.
[Four of a kind resonates.]
[You have learned Execution Skill - Deceive!]
"Die and become my sacrifice."
The big hand-carried another huge pressure as it went for Kyoya's head. This high pressure was due to the believer's might and technique! But Kyoya was no longer the same. At least when it comes to his knife techniques.
He was also using something akin to a believer's energy.
But in his case, he believes in himself!
"Hah?"
The giant's hand didn't stop, because it couldn't. Instead of grabbing Kyoya's head, the hand passed through his avatar… The buffed adventurer's eyes went wide, then similarly to him the tank on the front dropped his jaw with eyes dilated.
His eyes could see everything.
Thus, he saw.
"Filth."
The avatar turning into mere smoke...
The flying husband, looking like an assassin for real this time too. His knives were behind his head, his arms trembling from all the output he was putting into his technique! The golden-red hue flashed through the normal knives, sharpening and bringing up the knives' utmost potential.
Cracks spread across the normal weapons as they couldn't withstand that much of divine energy power.
Then, the fall began.
It all began in an instant.
"UGHHHHH!"
The two knives buried themselves straight into man's thick flesh, digging in with ease. Then, the husband's feet had yet to touch the ground. In mid-air, Kyoya shouted and his knives began falling.
Falling to form an 'X' mark on the muscular back.
"DIE!"
Like unstoppable trains, the knives rushed down led by the husband's hands, leaving the golden-red hue. The gushing out the blood of the muscular man was outshined by that divine energy of Kyoya, his eyes turning red as well.
When the knives met on the road, Kyoya let them go. The weapons then ended up forming the X mark by themselves, shattering at the end into thousand bits.
As for Kyoya, he long disappeared.
"You were the one…"
"Ah!"
"You are the filth!"
The tank was the filth! He was the one speaking and undressing Xaya with his lustful eyes, so Kyoya's execution couldn't be completed. Of course, if the husband's opponent wasn't buffed with the believer's energy, then the X mark would've decimated the body. Unluckily enough, the husband was far from performing the perfect execution.
Not because of the opponent, but because the filth was someone else.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Amidst the bony melody coming out from Kyoya's body, the tank got his hair grabbed by his hand. Then, the husband began pulling his head out from the body utilizing the leftovers of the execution skill.
A small golden-red light flashed past his eyes, then the filth turned into an EXP.
Both his head and the body.
"Husband!"
"Heal me… Heal me! It begins to hurt anew!"
"Yes, there is also potion from that woman! Drink it!"
"Ughhh! It fucking hurts, hurts!"
"Kyoya… I will heal you… I will…"
The husband's bones were cracked, his flesh in a similar state. How couldn't it hurt? His Trickster God's divine energy was deceiving it, but there was a limit to that. Now that Xaya came back, she was healing him with her technique, so another kind of divine energy moved around the husband.
It all boiled down to Kyoya no longer being able to ignore the pain. He screamed and cried, but luckily enough, Xiaoxiao had taken down the rest of the enemies…
"Heal me!"
"I am healing!"

He was strong, but the strength was the only thing within his mind.The husband who was relying on the special effect of the map got baited by that, believing that the friends of the dude who fucks in the forest are alike.This was a mistake, but it was a blessing in a disguise!Trickster God's deception!Your body is lying to you!"Anyway, let's take that woman! Can you shut her up a little? Remember, do it gently! Don't kill her.""If that's what you want."The tank was greedy and lustful as expected. He was already undressing Xaya with his eyes alone, but then, he stopped as her face lit up in bliss."Don't touch her filth."Crack! Crack! Crack!Like an undead, the husband raised himself. He did it accompanied by the constant sound of the bones cracking which was too eerie. There was no way for a normal human to stand up, yet he did it.His legs were slightly bent and more blood gushed out from his wound on the torso."Amazing will power. Your body will be the perfect sacrifice for Lord Hecas."The man with muscles instead of the brain returned his attention to the husband. After he complimented his tenacity and will power, his hand reached out for the husband who was breathing heavily.Four of a kind resonates.You have learned Execution Skill - Deceive!"Die and become my sacrifice."The big hand-carried another huge pressure as it went for Kyoya's head. This high pressure was due to the believer's might and technique! But Kyoya was no longer the same. At least when it comes to his knife techniques.He was also using something akin to a believer's energy.But in his case, he believes in himself!"Hah?"The giant's hand didn't stop, because it couldn't. Instead of grabbing Kyoya's head, the hand passed through his avatar The buffed adventurer's eyes went wide, then similarly to him the tank on the front dropped his jaw with eyes dilated.His eyes could see everything.Thus, he saw."Filth."The avatar turning into mere smoke...The flying husband, looking like an assassin for real this time too. His knives were behind his head, his arms trembling from all the output he was putting into his technique! The golden-red hue flashed through the normal knives, sharpening and bringing up the knives' utmost potential.Cracks spread across the normal weapons as they couldn't withstand that much of divine energy power.Then, the fall began.It all began in an instant."UGHHHHH!"The two knives buried themselves straight into man's thick flesh, digging in with ease. Then, the husband's feet had yet to touch the ground. In mid-air, Kyoya shouted and his knives began falling.Falling to form an 'X' mark on the muscular back."DIE!"Like unstoppable trains, the knives rushed down led by the husband's hands, leaving the golden-red hue. The gushing out the blood of the muscular man was outshined by that divine energy of Kyoya, his eyes turning red as well.When the knives met on the road, Kyoya let them go. The weapons then ended up forming the X mark by themselves, shattering at the end into thousand bits.As for Kyoya, he long disappeared."You were the one""Ah!""You are the filth!"The tank was the filth! He was the one speaking and undressing Xaya with his lustful eyes, so Kyoya's execution couldn't be completed. Of course, if the husband's opponent wasn't buffed with the believer's energy, then the X mark would've decimated the body. Unluckily enough, the husband was far from performing the perfect execution.Not because of the opponent, but because the filth was someone else."AHHHHHHHHHH!"Amidst the bony melody coming out from Kyoya's body, the tank got his hair grabbed by his hand. Then, the husband began pulling his head out from the body utilizing the leftovers of the execution skill.A small golden-red light flashed past his eyes, then the filth turned into an EXP.Both his head and the body."Husband!""Heal me Heal me! It begins to hurt anew!""Yes, there is also potion from that woman! Drink it!""Ughhh! It fucking hurts, hurts!""Kyoya I will heal you I will"The husband's bones were cracked, his flesh in a similar state. How couldn't it hurt? His Trickster God's divine energy was deceiving it, but there was a limit to that. Now that Xaya came back, she was healing him with her technique, so another kind of divine energy moved around the husband.It all boiled down to Kyoya no longer being able to ignore the pain. He screamed and cried, but luckily enough, Xiaoxiao had taken down the rest of the enemies"Heal me!""I am healing!"
