Chapter 972: Clumsies (II)
Void’s words left Ryuk dumbstruck.
They had been captured by a group of experts in the Apocrypha Stage.
Not even Nihility, not even Exignis, but literal Apocrypha Stage experts.
“ARREST THEM!”
The guard boss [Duran] shouted his command, and the guards immediately raced toward them.
A spear quickly found its way toward Ryuk, whose left hand lurched forward toward it.
Just before it stabbed into his palm, his hand, like a snake, instantly shifted, wrapping around the spear, and in the next moment, he jerked his hand backward.
The guard was immediately thrown forward from the spear, and Ryuk’s right elbow slammed upward, smashing into the guard’s jaw.
His head jerked upward from the force, a terrifying impact that sent the world around him darkening, and he collapsed immediately.
But he was only one of dozens of guards.
“DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!”
The roar of guards followed, spears piercing from all sides toward Ryuk’s torso.
Seeing the array of spears forming a circle, he immediately went down, dodging them before his right legs rolled out in a circular arc.
They slammed into the legs of the guards, who were immediately knocked off their balance, some of them falling on their backs.
“DIE!”
BANG!
A kick smashed into the face of a guard right from above, sending him down.
Using his face as a hold, Ryuk jumped off, spinning in the air before stepping onto the face of another guard, and bouncing off once more.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The boss watched, dumbfounded, as his guards were taken down one by one in the dumbest way he had ever seen.
A face fall.
An elbow strike.
A simple leg sweep.
The man did not use any energy arts nor lay any domain, yet his underlings were being sent to the ground before they could use theirs.
“He’s amazing, right?”
The voice echoed from the side, and he couldn’t help but nod.
Only three seconds later did he turn to the side, finding the panther sitting on the ground on its butt, watching the fight along with him.
“IT’S YOU! YOU BASTARD!”
Duran roared out, immediately brandishing his eagle-like claws toward Void, who puffed off.
The guard boss reflexively swung his hand behind him, but it met with nothing.
Horror painted his face when he looked down, watching those humongous fangs widen over his butt.
“You don’t dare!”
CLENCH!
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
A terrifying scream of pain instantly sent the entire room into a pause.
Ryuk’s palm hung in front of a guard’s face, while a spear hovered by the side of his neck from another guard who had frozen at the chilling scream.
They all immediately turned toward the scene and were left speechless.
A figure was being flung around in the air, hands flailing wildly, but what was comical was where he was held.
Monstrous dark fangs had clenched around his butt, flinging him here and there as he screamed in pain before he was roughly thrown upward.
Duran slammed into the ceiling, his eyes rolling back as he fell with a helpless thump.
The Void Blocker slipped from his hands, and Void picked it up and stored it away.
While they were all dumbstruck, Ryuk immediately ran toward the door.
Void did the same, and they both pushed through, disappearing down the alley.
“AFTER THEM!”
The boss shouted, leaping to his butt to roar an order, only to collapse onto his back from the pain and slip into unconsciousness once more.
Quickly, the guards stormed out the door in chase of the man and cat, but…

“Kekeke, idiots.”
The words, filled with mockery, echoed from a rooftop where Void and Ryuk stood.
Both of them looked down to see dozens of guards sprinting through an alleyway before disappearing into the distance.
Huuuuuu.
Ryuk exhaled unconsciously.
Finally, they were out.
In the next instant, he turned his cursory gaze to Void.
“See, Ryuk. The good thing is we’re out. Let’s not focus on the bad, hmm?”
Void said it with a coquettish, pleading smile, prompting Ryuk to huff in annoyance before ignoring him.
He then turned his gaze, taking in their surroundings.
It was a place completely different from the Stellis Clan, for instead of star castles, there were temples.
Dark-colored temples rose among hundreds of statues, each depicting a winged entity.
Scattered among them were more temples and several buildings shaped like dojos.
“This is the Wingo Realm, home to all winged creatures,” Void said.
“This is the northern side of the Wingo Realm, filled with crazy monks and smelly birds,” Void claimed, wrinkling his nose.
“But on that far side is the south…” he said, pointing his claws into the far distance behind them.
“There, on the south side of the Wingo Realm, lies the Celestial Wingo Realm, home to the purest and most celestial of winged beings.”
“That’s the place I sensed Isha from last time, but there are a lot of powerful and incredibly dangerous entities in the Celestial Wingo Realm.”
Void said, and Ryuk hummed quietly.
“Let’s move then,” he said, jumping off the roof to the next, and Void watched him quickly disappear in that direction.
“Was he even listening…”
Void mused beneath his breath, puffing once and instantly reappearing by Ryuk’s side.
“Hey, Ryuk,” Void shouted as Ryuk bounced off a rooftop, landing quietly on another and continuing.
“What are you up to again?”
He asked suspiciously, narrowing his eyes at the panther.
“I just wanted to say your performance back there was excellent.”
“You were usually the BOOM! type of guy. One attack, blowing them into the sky.”
“But this time… simply exceptional.”
He claimed, but Ryuk’s suspicion didn’t lessen an inch as he kept his gaze on him while jumping across rooftops.
“Get to the point, Void.”
“The point is, while the current you is really great, we’ll need the BOOM! Ryuk to get into the Celestial Wingo Realm.”
“So I was thinking…You still have your BOOM! right?” Void asked, but almost coughed up blood from his answer:
