As Erin descended from high above and was about to drive the sharp bone spike into Wilbur''s head, he could imagine Wilbur''s despairing eyes, kneeling at his


    feet...


    But just as the bone spike in Erin''s hand was about a foot away from Wilbur''s crown, Wilbur, despite the confused expression on his face, reached out his right hand and urately grabbed Erin''s wrist!


    The sound of the wrist being seized was like a loud p in the face, fiercely striking Erin''s face, leaving him with an incredulous expression.


    "How... How did you know my position and even counterattack? This is impossible, utterly impossible! What method did you use to achieve this?"


    Faced with Wilbur''s effortless defense against his fatal attack in close range, Erin was on the verge of mental copse.


    Because whenever he used this move, there was no one who could defend against his attack, so no one knew that he had actually used this lethal skill before. It had defeated three opponents who were at peak Sanctuary level before!


    His previously unstoppable prowess had inted Erin''s confidence to the extreme. In his view, those who could survive his attack in Cametra were few and far between.


    However, a mere foreigner like Wilbur had, without even using spiritual energy, directly defended against his fatal blow with sheer physical strength.


    This was akin to a humiliating p in the face, almost causing Erin''s pride to copse in an instant. Looking at Wilbur, his eyes seemed to be gazing at a powerful monster he did not recognize!


    "You are indeed strong. Among those I have fought, your abilities could even rank in the top ten. But if this is the limit of your abilities, then you basically have no hope of winning! Facing someone like you with special abilities in battle is something I can only enjoy once every hundred battles, so I gave you the chance to kill me once."


    After Wilbur finished speaking, he released Erin''s bone-armored arm and then calmly awaited his next move.


    "No one has ever humiliated me like this! Never! You truly make me feel the pain of being looked down on, so... even if I have to bet my life on it, I will make you regret it!"


    Listening to Wilbur''s bursting confidence, Erin''s eyes were filled with endless rage.


    If Wilbur had killed him just now, he probably would not be in such agony. After all, in Erin''s eyes, this battle was not only for himself but also to prove his strength to the figure on the mountaintop!


    "Is that so? It seems my guess was correct. You indeed still have some trump cards up your sleeve. Come on, I look forward to your performance, hoping it won''t disappoint me too much!"


    Wilbur still maintained his harmless appearance, but in Erin''s eyes, his face was one that was asking to be punched.


    However, in the next moment, Wilbur''s previously calm expression was slightly disturbed by Erin''s actions.


    That was because Erin, even with his connections to the Mars bugs, plunged his sharp ws into his chest and pulled his heart out.


    This bloody scene would likely have scared a timid person out of their wits, but Wilbur was already ustomed to such scenes. After all, before battling Erin, Derkley had removed his son''s heart himself and then helped himself advance to the Sanctuary level.


    However, what puzzled Wilbur was that after Erin extracted his own heart, he did not immediately die or show any sign that his life was at an end.
