Chapter 1254 - How Was This Possible?!

With his trusty wooden sword in his hands, Jonah slowly held it up as though holding a spear.

The closer his prey approached, the tightened his grip on its handle.

And just like himself, a few others at close range to the enemy also started aiming towards their targets too. 

Hehhehehe!

Within the swampy waters, a few people had large leaves over their heads, with frogs jumping over them at times.

The men only had their eyes above the water surface while keeping tiny reddish bamboo-like tubes in their mouths as well. 

The swamp was filled with these tub-like grass stalks that had enabled them to breathe plenty of times during training in such conditions.

The soldiers within the swamp all had their tubes in their mouths, as their eyes shone brightly with a strange light in them.

Com'on... Get closer... Get closer already!

All hidden hunters watched their prey generously while trying to confirm the urge to lean forward in wait.

Yes! They were indeed ready for action.

And soon... Their prey had finally reached their marked spot.

And like hunted animals, their prey seemed to realize their predicament. 

But sadly, it was too late by then!

Eh?

Scarface, Poison Blade and a few others suddenly felt their bodies grow heavy after picking up several weird sounds across the scene.

Danger. Danger. Danger!

Countless warning bells rang within their heads, causing a few of them to jump and roll away like lightning.

Dammit!

"Everyone, take co--"

-Thup!

"Gaghhhhh~~."

What???!

Scarface hadn't even finished reading yet, and already, the sounds of a few people choking to death had caused their bodies to go cold.

How? How come they didn't notice these bastards yet? What the hell was going on here?

No! They should've been able to recognize their presence long ago before these bastards had the chance to ambush them.

So who can explain what was going on here?

Did these lowlifes also get their hands on their precious Morg breathing and sound masking techniques?

How were they so capable of masking their sounds and presence so adequately, as if they had learnt some higher-ranked skills?

Scarface felt like he was going crazy the more he thought about it.

Pyno generally had lower ranked skills, with just a handful of people getting lucky enough to get their hands on intermediate rank skills. 

That so, Pyno was a Waste!

And even other continents like Tenola and Veinitta had mostly intermediate skills.

Don't even say that their Pyno T.O.E.P members could've gotten such skills and shared it out because that alone would be too impossible to believe!

.

One should remember that after every certain number of years, members had the privilege of training a fraction of their men within Morgany as agreed.

But you see, the Morgs had secretly capitalized on the world in order to keep everyone in their rightful place.

Think about it. If they allowed everyone to train and learn Upper or higher-ranked skills, then wouldn't these people someday overtake them?

Heheheheheh!

They kept Pyno within the lower tank categories... Occasionally giving them intermediate rank skills.

But you see, even at that, the reason why most Pyno people are pleased is simply because within each skill rank, there were still skill levels/grades within them too.

That is, within Pyno, their skills could generally be classified between grade 1 to grade 3 Lower skill sets.

So when training in Morgany, they could throw in Grade 4 or even 5 level manuals and techniques to these people, as if feeding dogs with bones.

And wouldn't you know it? Those from Pyno who got the chance to learn these skills were so happy and in awe instead. 

In fact, the only people in Pyno who had ever been granted access to learn Grade 1 to 2 intermediate skills, was the late Alec Barn and his special group of hidden guards.

He was the one to break Pyno's cycle. 

Hehehhehe! 

But even at that, he still couldn't completely master all the skills correctly. 

Of course... because they didn't want him to do too well, they tended to add a few crumbling methods in the mix too.

.

In short, there were many reasons and moves they had pulled off to keep order in this world.

Or, wait!

The Baymardians were only lackeys.

So these people were probably from the other Pyno empires, right?

Then... Didn't this mean that they had somehow collectively stolen a few Higher ranked techniques from Morgany?

Did they steal some moves off the genius Morg they had captured?

After all, it was customary for genius Morgs like this to be trained hard.

So it seemed likely that they would pry information about his technique from that Morg or maybe the Genius Morg's Guards that they killed or captured.

Yes! Yes! It seemed like this was the truth.

But the realization of it all was what was choking them whole.

Everyone's body trembled with the thoughts of vengeance at heart.

What arrogance! What impetus! 

How dare these people steal from them so much?

Rebellion? These none notes were trying to rise to the top. And they sure as hell had to report it all!

So of a B**ch!

Several people hastily took cover while secretly cursing these people in their hearts.

And as for their fallen, 4 had already died from these sneaky attacks.

One died unjustly by having a long wooden stock pierce through his ċhėst as if it were a sword.

And from the technique, the wooden sword had managed to slide through the spaces between the ċhėst bones(rib bones), piercing through his heart instantly!

And as for the others, they had been murdered in cold blood by a few of these bastards who had hidden within the swamp!

And now, their bodies were floating on the water lifelessly.

Scarface quickly took cover with a sunken heart.

This was not the plan!
