Chapter 91: Hunted to the Brink of Death (2)

Ethan clenched his teeth, thrusting his Legion Arm toward the giant’s face.

With everything he had, Ethan drove his strike forward …

BOOOOOOOM!!

Flames burst outward. Sparks scattered violently. Thick smoke engulfed the point of impact.

Revealing the giant’s body… now headless.

Dead in a single strike.

The force of the explosion hurled him backward …

A pained groan escaped him as his mind struggled to keep consciousness intact.

Only to feel his entire body scream in agony from the impact.

Sitting up with great difficulty, his face smeared with ash and blood—his own mixed with the monster’s ..

A white, metallic shard… had pierced straight through his stomach.

The pain was unbearable—twisting his body as he writhed against the ground.

He cursed loudly, forcing himself upright against the wall.

A fragment of bone.

The creature’s corpse lay before him.

Ethan trembled from the pain—yet he couldn’t afford to give in.

The feral inhabitants were coming.

Understanding just how dire his situation was, Ethan reached down—gripping the shard.

He pulled it out.

“Haaah… haaah…”

To keep his blood and his insides from spilling out and ending him right there.

And saw them.

The feral inhabitants… were already closing in.

Ethan tried to move … to flee ,But the moment he took a single step, a violent shock of pain surged through his body like electricity.

Forcing himself upright against the wall, he pushed his body forward.

He wanted to scream—loud enough to shatter the silence—

Not with them closing in behind him.

Yet no matter how desperately he thought…

The explosion had drawn even more monsters.

Above, the many-eyed abomination still watched … its vision partially obscured by the buildings, yet present all the same.

More blood spilled from his wound.

Before him—

An open street with nowhere to hide…

And as he struggled to survive—

One.

Then three…

Within moments, the area was flooded with them.

But Ethan… Had vanished.

His blood still stained the ground …

But beyond that…

No trace of him whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the many-eyed creature crawled along the Clock Tower like an insect, trying to gain a better vantage point.

There was no sign of Ethan.

But the creature did not believe it.

Its eyes flared once more.

The eyes of the roaming monsters below ignited in response.

Some stormed into the surrounding buildings—

Others combed through the streets—

And a third group…

They stared at it for a few seconds—

Again.

Over and over.

As if expecting him to be hiding beneath it.

They found nothing.

Until, gradually…

Returning to the depths of the city’s darkness.

Their torches fading into the distance…

The many-eyed creature lingered a little longer—

And so…

Minutes passed.

An hour in which nothing changed—

And the corpse of a single, headless giant.

The silence finally broke.

From within the giant’s severed neck—

Soaked in thick, clinging blood.

A man crawled out.

Drenched in blood.

He crawled forward, clutching his wounds from the earlier impact—

Acidic bile mixed with blood spilled from his mouth,

Every cell in his body recoiled in disgust.

His initial wound still bled relentlessly—

From when the feral inhabitants had stabbed their weapons into the giant’s corpse earlier.

Barely conscious.

He forced himself forward.

“I have to… hide…”

Only to collapse just beyond its entrance.

But he couldn’t.

Slowly…

As darkness claimed him—
