The Legacy System

He was truly frightened by the scene in front of him, even after he had received more than ten times of deep breaths he was still unable to understand what had happened.

The older someone grew, the more difficult it was to accept death. If this were some sort of hard-fought and dangerous battle it would still haven't been this terrifying.

What made this whole damn thing terrifying was the fact that it had happened that fast. In but a mere moment, in but a mere instant a powerful Master of the 4th Realm had died without understanding how.

Not only that, but even the guy witnessing the whole show from the start had no idea of what and how it had happened. There felt to be no justice in that death.

All the painstaking work of a few centuries of hard work had been put to rest like that in a mere instant. What kind of expert and Master could accept something like that?

Not to mention that Master Tegen and Monk Tao had already clashed a few times, and Master Tegen was extremely clear that his strength and fighting prowess weren't far from that of Monk Tao.

So if he truly went for a head-on approach with Eric then he would be as good as dead, his only condolences at the moment were that Eric's stamina and energy reserves should be low, and his defense artifact.

Those were the only two reasons that could make him hope for a win against Eric, and also one of the reasons he decided to act.

The second reason was Eric's ruthless and greedy behavior. That little bastard had not only killed all these experts, but he didn't even seem to be in a hurry as he stole everything from them.

He even went as far as to take away their clothes, and worldly possessions such as rings or necklaces. While their value wasn't inexistent, they weren't that precious either.

Yet, he had already taken everything from the dead bodies, and it was clear that he wasn't planning to put an end to this easily, as he was heading toward his side.

This damn little bastard had fully devoured everything, starting from the chicken, its bones, and even its feathers, and had even drunk its juice.

There was nothing left for whoever wanted to come and benefit from something. Well, Eric hadn't been that heartless actually, as he had left each of these experts to don their boxers at least.

If those experts heard Eric's thoughts at that moment they would probably vomit a mouthful of blood and die once again, but this time due to their extreme anger.

Could even boxers be called their possessions at that moment, it was more like those boxers were their last line of defense against full humiliation.

But that didn't seem to have been sufficient for Eric's hunger, as he was clearly going towards the next target.

Once he had dealt with half of the group it would be simple for him to deal with the other half, or at least that was how it looked he thought.

His teleportation skill was truly a cheat skill, as he could always teleport in front or behind his enemy and deal with a critical attack.

In a battle between experts sometimes even the tiniest scratch could result vital to the battle, not to mention a critical attack that could even be a one-shot kill attack.

Thinking everything up to here, Master Tegen realized that there was no turning back in this situation, and the best thing he could do was to actually take the initiative.

If he did that, then he would have some sort of upper hand towards the opponent since Eric probably didn't expect something like that.

'Team 1 attack!"

The moment he decided that then he would certainly follow with his decision, as without losing time he immediately ordered the start of the attack.

'Swooosshhhh…, sswwoosshhhhhh…'

Eric could only feel a terrible bad premonition in his heart and hear those two sounds. It felt like some sort of metal was cutting through the water, which clearly surprised him a bit.

He had expected some experts to bar his path and try to attack him from behind, but this thing didn't seem like it was a living thing.

"Oh, shit!"

The moment that such thoughts crossed his mind he couldn't help but curse in his heart, as he turned around and immediately hugged the two beauties bodies, before using teleportation.

With his current capabilities, he was able to use teleportation around 6 to 10 times for every time his 'tank' was full of energy.

When he was forced to take someone else with him at that moment, the energy consumption would immediately double, or triple depending on what he was taking along.

Taking the two beauties by his side both at the same time, required him more than half of his energy in just one movement, but at least he managed to escape the danger.

What danger!?

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM~!' x2

Before the two beauties could understand what had happened, they heard two powerful explosion sounds coming from their previous location, as a powerful and strong colon of water was formed in the middle of the Ocean.

If those two torpedoes had been deeper underwater perhaps they wouldn't have caused such a reaction, but they weren't even 30 meters under the sea surface.

If it weren't for Eric's fast reactions then while Eric might have been able to escape that situation alive, the two of them would surely die or suffered great injuries.

For a moment Eric looked close to a God in their eyes, as their feelings and worship towards his persona grew bigger and deeper.

But of course, that was just the first part of Master Tegen's plan, as he couldn't rely entirely on those 2 torpedoes, not when Eric was a perverse and mysterious existence.

"Teams 2 to 5 attack immediately! Shoot to kill, don't falter!"

'I hope that this isn't enough to kill a perverted existence like you, little bastard! Otherwise, I would be losing 500 million dollars!'

While the small fry might not know why this Master Tegen was acting like this and was using the layout of a trap they had set for that sweet bounty head Eric of 500 million dollars, how could he not understand?

The moment that he had seen that weird movement that had actually resulted in the death of Monk Tao, he had already pinpointed that this guy was Eric, or at least related to him.

The second option was more valid because no matter how much he tried he was never able to find anything weird with Eric's mask.

Either the previous Eric had used a mask to hide his identity and the current face was his real one, which didn't make sense since he had been in the presence of much more powerful Masters than Master Tegen.

Or this guy was someone related to Eric, but most probably have the same status and standing, as he was a genius as well.

At the same time, Master Tegen couldn't understand how it was possible that there was actually an unknown organization or Master that produced such people like it was producing gadgets.

He could only hope that there weren't too many of them and that the world didn't get to know it was him who was taking this guy down otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face the consequences.

But now wasn't the time for him to be lost in his thoughts, as he saw 4 of his teams jump into action towards Eric's and the two beauties locations.

On the other hand, Eric was still left with less than half of his energy reserves, which made him feel pretty gloomy as he didn't think it would be enough to deal with this situation.

While it wouldn't be difficult to send all these bastards to hell to have a nice meeting with King Yama, he still had Master Tegen to think about.

No matter how many times he cut the snake's tail, as long as its head was still up and about, he would have to suffer under the snake's prowess.

For that reason, automatically Eric's target weren't these Realm 2 and Realm 3 experts attacking him and the two beauties, but the guy controlling everything from the back.

It didn't take much of intelligence to understand why Master Tegen was keeping his distance and using his underlings to slowly tire out Eric and the two beauties.

After all, who wouldn't be if they saw him kill someone in an instant while being far away from the guy?

"Ice, Aika keep these bastards at bay for some time, I need to recover a bit!"

"Yes, Master!"

Both beauties acknowledged their orders, as Eric took out a lot of weapons for them. Since he had already suffered some drawbacks in water, his arsenal was added with quite a few underwater weapons.

Ice immediately created an ice cage around Eric, herself, and Aika, while allowing only some spots from which they could shoot outside.

It was at this time that the enemies finally reached their current location and started attacking as well. They weren't using their energy to attack either.

After all, their purpose was to not allow Eric to recover and tire them out. As long as managed that, their mission would be completed, and their Master would appear.

The only problem with this strategy was that it would be too noisy, and it would attract a lot of attention.

These two groups weren't the only Masters in the Senkaku Islands, in fact, they were near the bottom. Their only reason for being here now was that they were closer when the whole ordeal started…
