Chapter 278.3: Monster Hunters [Part 3]

The battle was fierce, with both sides wanting to tear each other to shreds.

Giga was even sporting a deep gash on its waist area, which he received when the Unicorn teleported in front of him to stab his heart with its horn.

Knowing that it was a matter of life and death, the Chad Skunk activated its ability, Titan Heart, to increase its size.

Instead of getting stabbed on the chest, the Unicorn's horn only pierced its waist. The Unicorn earned itself a smack on the face because Giga decided to exchange a blow for a blow.

Just as everyone was staring down at each other, Uncle Boo arrived at the scene, making the Unicorn pause.

"Good!" the Unicorn shouted. "You're here, Boo. Come and help me deal with these bastards!"

The Beholder, who didn't expect that the Unicorn would ask for its help, glanced at the surroundings and saw the monsters who were injured all over.

After seeing his subordinates, Thirteen felt proud. Despite looking as if they would keel over anytime, all of them were still alive.

Blacky jumped off the Beholder's head and ran toward Giga.

He then barked twice at the Skunk before growling at the Unicorn in the distance.

Blacky had said, "Good job holding him back. I'll take it from here."

Giga scratched his head before slapping the Nightmare Hound's bum, making it yelp in pain.

Seeing the antics of his two subordinates, Thirteen shook his head before shifting his gaze at the Unicorn in the distance.

Rocky had already informed him that his sister was safe, so the ten-year-old felt as if the weight pressing on his shoulders had disappeared completely.

"Uncle Boo, tell him to back off," Thirteen said as he slid off the Beholder's head.

"Okay," Uncle Boo replied before flying toward the Unicorn in order to talk some sense into it.

But just as the Beholder was about to approach the Unicorn, it disappeared and reappeared behind Thirteen, intending to impale the boy with its horn.

The Unicorn didn't know who the boy was, but seeing that all the monsters seemed to look relieved after seeing him, it understood that he may be the Master of these annoying monsters.

Since it couldn't kill any of them, the Unicorn decided to kill the boy, whom it believed would not be able to do anything against it.

"So it has come to this huh?" Thirteen muttered as he raised his hand.

In his hand was a purple sphere.

When the Unicorn appeared in front of the boy, the sphere opened, and something unexpected happened.

The Unicorn disappeared, and the purple sphere in Thirteen's hand started to shake.

A few seconds later, a clicking sound was heard. The Unicorn, who had tried to kidnap his sister, was now sealed inside the sphere.

Uncle Boo, who witnessed everything that happened from start to finish, couldn't help but shudder as he stared at the purple sphere in the boy's hand.

"Zion, what did you do?" Uncle Boo asked despite already knowing what had happened.

"Uncle Boo, I'm going somewhere for an hour or two," Thirteen replied. "Please meet me at the base that we passed by earlier. I just need to have a good talk with this fella."

Thirteen shook the purple sphere in his hand as if to make a statement.

"Giga, Rocky, Hercules, O1, O2, T1 up to T10, good job," Thirteen praised his subordinates. "All of you did well. I'll see you in a bit. Until then, rest well."

After bidding his goodbye, Thirteen disappeared from where he stood.

He went back to the Order of the Apocalypse to ask Metatron for help.

The purple sphere was only capable of holding the Rank 8 Sovereign for a day. After that, the item would break, and the Unicorn would become free again.

In order to prevent that from happening, the ten-year-old planned to trap it in a place where it couldn't escape no matter what it did.

So, what better place to take it than to the Order of the Apocalypse, where it would not be able to act as arrogantly as before.

Inside the Order of the Apocalypse

As soon as Thirteen made an appearance, a certain Death Bat chuckled and blocked his path.

"I've been waiting for you, Thirteen," Camazotz said. "I have a proposal for you"

"Hi Camazotz," Thirteen replied. "Bye Camazotz."

After saying those words, the boy activated his token inside his body to enter the treasury and disappeared, making the Death Bat scratch his head. The little guy didn't even bother listening to what he was going to say.

'Maybe he's busy,' Camazotz thought before shrugging. 'I'll just wait for him to come back after his trip to the treasury.'

Just as soon as Thirteen appeared inside the treasury, Metatron waved at him with a smile on his face.

"You're back, Thirteen," Metatron greeted. "That was faster than I imagined. Did you manage to use the item I gave you?"

Metatron waved at him with a smile on his face.

"You're back, Thirteen," Metatron greeted. "That was faster than "Yes," Thirteen replied before handing Metatron the purple sphere, which could only be used once. "I wished I hadn't, but in order to complete the mission, I needed to do it. Metatron, please make this fella behave."

The Guardian of the Treasury accepted the purple sphere and forced it open.

A moment later, the White Unicorn materialized out of thin air.

It felt disoriented as it looked at its surroundings. However, after seeing that he was no longer in a familiar place, its gaze landed on the ten-year-old that it planned to kill just a few moments ago.

"Die!"

The Unicorn then transformed into its Demi-Human form and charged at Thirteen with his fist ready to strike.

"Oops, I can't let you do that to my VIP guest," Metatron said in a teasing tone before easily catching the Unicorn's punch with his palm. "Violence is not allowed in this place."

A cracking sound reached Thirteen's ears, followed by a scream, as Metatron crushed the Unicorn's fist, making it cry out in pain.

"I thought violence is not allowed in this place?" Thirteen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You're right," Metatron replied. "But I'm above the law, so I alone can use violence. Besides, the only way to make these arrogant Unicorns behave is to make them suffer pain beyond what they can handle."

After saying those words, Metatron casually kicked the Unicorn's chest, sending him flying toward the treasury.

"There is a Legendary Ranked Iron Maiden in the treasury that I haven't used for over a thousand years," Metatron said with a devilish smile on his face. "I just hope he doesn't break easily."

Thirteen watched as the Guardian of the Apocalypse chuckled while dragging the struggling Unicorn inside the treasury.

After pondering for a few seconds, the ten-year-old shrugged before following them from behind.

Since the Unicorn had tried to kidnap Shasha and had injured his subordinates, the least that he could do was to assist Metatron in torturing the arrogant monster.

That was the only way Thirteen could vent out his anger, which he had been bottling up during his trip back to the Second Island.

Soon, the sound of screams, and begging reverberated within the treasury.

But through it all, two madmen chuckled as they showed each other their own ways of torturing people, allowing both of them to expand their repertoire for the next pitiful victim who would fall in their hands.
