Their leader had already fled, and without him, their morale crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no intention of continuing the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan, who usually hung back during battles, surprised everyone by charging forward this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters scattered, trying to escape in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leeroy and Ryan each intercepted one, while Ethan swung the mutant's corpse like a gruesome flail, smashing it into another hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact shattered bones, leaving the man writhing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more hunters bolted in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan targeted one, he kicked off the ground, moving so fast it felt like he teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunter's eyes widened in panic. \"Wait! Please spare me, I'll pay you, just let me go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare you?\" Ethan growled. \"Did you spare those children when you took them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for a response, Ethan swung his hand in a brutal slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunter, a earth-based innate ability user, summoned a wall of dirt to block the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall disintegrated under Ethan's strike, sending a cloud of dust into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ethan wasn't fazed. His senses allowed him to track the hunter even through the obscuring dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth user, realizing his defense had failed, turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan hesitated for a moment, then decided to let him go, turning instead to chase the other fleeing hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, the earth user's escape route led him straight toward Mr. Kane, who was already returning with another captive in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two collided, and within minutes, the earth user was subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Ethan returned to the camp, he was dragging a headless corpse—another victim of his now-signature slap attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, Ethan had developed a preference for this brutal, almost mocking method of combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had once been a low-damage, high-insult move had become devastating in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless someone had a skull of steel, one slap from Ethan was all it took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryan, burn them,\" Leeroy said as Ethan approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the corpse from Ethan and tossed it onto the growing pile of bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan nodded, flicking a runic parchment toward the pile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted, consuming the bodies in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stench of burning flesh filled the air, making Evelyn grimace and cover her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan waved his hand again, sending several more runic parchments into the ground around the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent barrier formed, containing the smoke and smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Kane,\" Ethan said, approaching the older man and gesturing to the captive at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Kane had been studying Ethan intently. When Ethan spoke, he replied calmly, \"These people are grave robbers. I wasn't planning to get involved, but when they passed through my hometown, they kidnapped two of my relatives\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had no choice but to step in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, shaking his head. \"Ethan, I know you're with the Ninth Division. I've left that life behind, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. Let's just say we never met, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take these children back. As for the Ninth Division… if you can get out, do it. Trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ethan could respond, Mr. Kane bent down and picked up the two children, who had been put to sleep by Evelyn's calming spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Kane…\" Ethan had so many questions, but the older man cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're heading to the Silverwood family, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I return these children, I'll be heading there too. We'll likely cross paths again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mr. Kane crouched slightly, then sprang into the air, disappearing into the distance with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot into the air like a cannonball, pausing briefly mid-flight before changing direction and soaring eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan and the others exchanged bewildered glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly began cleaning up the camp, which was now a chaotic mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the relic hunters' backpacks, they scavenged some food—canned meals, compressed biscuits, and nutrient packs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything useful went into their own bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan tore open a can of canned ham and devoured it in a few bites. He'd been craving something flavorful for days, and the salty meat hit the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished the can, he noticed Leeroy standing near the blasted-open cave entrance, sniffing the air with a tense expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Ethan asked, walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leeroy shook his head. \"There's something big down there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something big?\" Ethan frowned, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leeroy glanced back at the cages that had held the children and muttered, \"No wonder they needed a boy and a girl. They were paying the toll.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan stared at him, baffled by his cryptic words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryan, can you seal this place up? Otherwise, we're going to have a problem,\" Leeroy called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan, who had been rummaging through the hunters' supplies, hurried over with a sausage dangling from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He peered into the cave, then his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\" he shouted, grabbing Ethan and Leeroy and yelling at Evelyn to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan, Leeroy, and Evelyn were caught off guard, but Ryan didn't wait for them to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped two speed charms onto his legs, then sprinted to Evelyn, hoisting her onto his back before taking off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan and Leeroy hesitated for a split second before bolting after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening screech erupted from the cave, sending a wave of terror through Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to grab Leeroy, but his hand closed on empty air, tearing off a piece of Leeroy's sleeve instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leeroy didn't even look back, disappearing into the trees at breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! Ethan cursed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his Travel Form, his body shifting as a translucent, deer-like lower half emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful leap, he shot forward, narrowly avoiding the massive shadow that burst from the cave just seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature's blood-red eyes locked onto Ethan for a brief moment before it turned and soared toward the mountain peak, vanishing into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Ethan and the others were already far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan was still running full tilt, with Leeroy close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan caught up to Ryan and grabbed his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! It's gone!\" Ethan shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd been monitoring the cave with his senses and had seen the creature emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment its gaze met his, Ethan felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, nearly knocking him off his feet. Thankfully, the creature hadn't pursued them, otherwise, Ethan was certain they'd have been in serious trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan skidded to a stop, sweat rolling down his face despite the cold November air. Steam rose from his body as he panted heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leeroy caught up, equally out of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryan… what the hell was that thing?\" Leeroy gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not sure,\" Ryan replied between breaths. \"But based on its aura, it's probably…\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1127,"2026-06-02T11:41:20.826Z",1,"novelbin.me","420b39da15d4ce9b1da7f5a6422d64b134d87178b054f68654bc0c2bfc9cc980","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-239","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-237",946,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-cover.jpg"]
