"N-No! Stay back!" Darren backed away at the very end of the alley with a frightened look on his face. "I-I'm not with them! I'm just a passerby!'

He had witnessed how the Shadowy Figure had easily neutralized the other Bounty Hunters, who were now laying on the ground unconscious.

'Why is an Empyrean-Ranked World Boss inside the city of El Hazard?!' Darren screamed internally. 'How come no one noticed that a Monster had snuck in?!'

While the Bounty Hunter had these thoughts running in his mind, a Black Coffin materialized above the Shadowy Figure, making his face turn grim.

He had seen that Black Coffin during the battle in the Gladiator's Coliseum and understood what it was capable of doing.

Darren now understood why Alcapone and his team suddenly disappeared from the alley without a trace!

Seeing that he had nowhere left to go, Darren gritted his teeth and took out a crystal from his storage ring. He then threw this crystal upwards, making it explode after reaching a height of two hundred meters.

Suddenly, the Shadowy Figure felt a powerful presence flying in their direction. Knowing that the Bounty Hunter in front of it had called for backup, it no longer hesitated and went in for the kill.

All the color in Darren's face disappeared when he saw that the Shadowy Figure was moving in his direction, holding a purple blade in its hand.

He could only watch immobile as the Monster raised its sword and slashed down with the intention of ending his life.

A second later, a loud explosion rocked the alley of the Slums.

The Shadowy Figure that was about to deliver a killing blow to Darren was blown away, smashing into the wall on the other side of the alleyway.

"I didn't know that a Rat had managed to sneak inside my turf while I was taking a nap," Sion said coldly as he looked at the Monster that had propped itself back up and pointed its weapon at the Saint who had come to the Bounty Hunter's rescue.

The middle-aged man with blonde hair and blue eyes stared at the Shadow Monster with a determined look on his face.

"Where are the others?" Sion asked without looking at Darren, who was behind him.

"G-Gone," Darren replied. "It looks like that Monster got them."

"All of them?"

"All of them. Including Alcapone."

"Hoh~"

Sion narrowed his eyes before cracking his knuckles in preparation to fight. The Bounty Hunters of El Hazard all worked under him. He was also the one that had given the order to capture Lux for five million gold.

After finding out that all of his men had been dealt with by the Shadow Monster in front of him, the Saint, who had a very short temper, felt like running amok.

"It has been a while since I had a good fight," Sion stated. "After becoming a Saint, no one has dared to challenge me again. Tell me, Darren, is that Half-Elf behind this as well?"

"I-I'm not sure, but that Black Coffin over there is something that belongs to him," Darren pointed at Blackfire, who started to sneakily devour the fallen Bounty Hunters on the ground.

Without another word, Sion disappeared from where he stood and smashed his fist against the Black Coffin that was about to swallow the last Bounty Hunter on the ground.

As if expecting something like this, Blackfire immediately phased out of existence, completely avoiding the Saint's attack by a hairs' breadth.

"Hahaha! So, that Half-Elf is the one that brought this Monster inside my territory." Sion grinned. "Since that is the case, it is within my jurisdiction to punish him according to the law."

"Oh really? Are you able to do that?"

At that exact moment, a voice that was filled with contempt reached Sion's ears, which made the Saint look toward the East.

He had sensed that the voice came from that direction, but after tracing it back, he was unable to find the source of its origin.

Standing on the roof of the Inn, Gaap looked at the Western Side of the city with contempt.

"Come," Gaap stated.

Immediately, twelve creatures answered his call and materialized around the Halfling, waiting for his orders.

"A Saint dares to use force to bully my Disciple. I guess the Saints in Agartha think they are big shots after stepping into that rank," Gaap said in disdain. "Baal, take care of that lowly dog for me. Make him understand that there are some people that he can't offend no matter what."

Baal, who was covered completely in black armor from head to foot, bowed respectfully to his Master.

"I hear and obey, Master," Baal replied. "However, we can't leave you here unprotected. Carol, please see to it that the Master is safe."

A young lady wearing a Gothic Lolita dress nodded her head in agreement.

"Leave Master to me," Carol replied. "I'll make sure that he is safe."

Gaap could only smile bitterly because his Thirteen Named Creatures treated him as if he was a helpless child, who didn't have Antero to protect him.

Even so, he didn't reject Baal's proposal and simply nodded his head to ensure that all of his Summons would fight to their fullest.

"Go," Gaap ordered. "Show him who calls the shots around here!"

"""Yes! Master!"""

Gaap's Named Creatures all replied in unison before flying towards the slums of El Hazard, where one of their comrades was currently facing off against a Saint of Agartha.

Half a minute after all of them left, an old man with white hair and white beard landed on the opposite rooftop where Gaap was standing and nodded at the Halfling in greeting.

The Halfling nodded back for he knew that the person in front of him was a Saint.

Carol, who had been tasked to protect her Master, summoned her two maids. They both immediately stood on Gaap's left and right side.

The Gothic Lolita, on the other hand, stepped forward and stood between the newcomer and her Master, making sure that the old man wouldn't slip past her defenses.

"I knew that you were a bigger threat than that Half-Elf," Darius, who had been paying close attention to Gaap said with a smile. "It seems that I was right."

Gaap didn't reply and simply smiled at the Old Saint, who wasn't showing any signs of hostility to him.

"Your name?" Gaap asked.

"Darius," Darius replied. "And I believe that your name is Gaap."

"That's right."

"Quite a unique name for a Halfling. But don't worry. I didn't come here to fight you. All I ask is that you tell your subordinates to not fight inside the city. I don't want any of the innocents to suffer because of Sion's schemes."

Gaap nodded and ordered his servants to lure Sion away from the city to prevent unnecessary deaths.

After being around Lux for so long, the Halfling had softened up a bit and no longer killed just for the sake of it.

Darius nodded his head in appreciation as he gazed in the direction of his comrade, who was now running out of the city in pursuit of the Monsters that had suddenly appeared uninvited.

Deep down, the Old Saint was secretly rejoicing because it had been a while since he saw Sion get beat up.

Although he and the hot-tempered Saint got along quite well, there were times when Darius wished that he could beat the crap out of his comrade without making the other hold a grudge against him.

Since there was someone who was willing to do that instead of him, he decided to just sit back and watch the show from the sidelines.

From the very start, he believed that Gaap was not an ordinary Grade-A Apostle, and this battle, which would happen on the outskirts of Agartha, would prove that his guess was correct.
