"B-Boss…o-our people disappeared!"Akshay heard this and immediately turned around. As he looked back, his eyes almost burst out of his eyes sockets and his jaws almost dropped to the floor. As he turned around, he found not a single soul behind him. Even the one who had called out to him had disappeared. Right now, except for the man he came with, there was no one else there. This discovery almost made Akshay p.i.s.s his pants. His whole body was covered with Gooseb.u.mps. The Gooseb.u.mps were so bad that Akshay felt his nipples hardening to the degree that he felt painful.
Vikram was also stunned speechless at this time. From the beginning to the end, he never felt a single suspicious thing around him. Around 30 people disappeared behind his back and he didn"t even know when all that happened. His breathing became haggard as he felt an unknown fear grip his heart. He looked at Akshay, wanting him to say "Haha! It was a prank!", but even after an unknown amount of time, Akshay didn"t utter those words.
"H-hey! Say something! Was this your plan? Tell me this was a prank!" Vikram roared.
"I-I do-don"t know anything about this…I don"t know…I don"t know…" Akshay repeated again and again like a puppet.
As Vikram was about to roar once again, he heard a faint voice coming from behind.
"Rest now…"
The voice was like the gentle rustle of the wind. But after hearing this, Vikram felt as if his vision was spinning. Between the spins, he saw a body standing in the dark with no head attached to it. Looking at it carefully, he found the body to be very familiar but before he could figure out whose body it was, his vision went black and his head dropped to the floor.

A few minutes ago
Saksham saw Akshay and his gang coming out of the SUV"s and immediately called out to the system.
"Give me the most appropriate weapon for my situation."
"Are you sure you want to consume 3 EP?"
Saksham pressed [Yes] without hesitation and found that there was something extra in his hands. As he looked down, he saw a dagger in his hands. The dagger looked like an ancient weapon. The hilt of the dagger had a tyrannical dragon with its jaw wide-opened, from which the curved blade of the dagger came out. It was as if the curved blade was the dragon"s tongue, wanting to drink the blood of its enemies. The dagger was about 25 cm long and 8 cm wide.
As Saksham looked at this weapon, he found some new information in his head.
The name of the dagger was [Dragon G.o.d"s Dagger]. Although the name was already tyrannical, the effect it brought to Saksham was even crazier as compared to its name. Saksham found out that this weapon absorbed the Life essence of the person killed by this dagger, granting the wielder some strength and speed. The more essence the dagger absorbed, the more the strength and speed increased of the wielder. And with more life essence absorbed by the dagger, the sharper it will become. Now, this weapon sounds like an overpowered broken weapon of a game that should not have been made. But you are wrong if you thought like that. This weapon also had its disadvantages.
The first disadvantage was that although the dagger will increase the wielder"s strength and speed once it absorbs the essence of the person killed by it, but that will be only for a short time. Once another person is not killed by the dagger in a given amount of time, the strength and speed will fade away. The second disadvantage was that Saksham can"t become the strongest in the world by just killing people again and again and absorbing their life essence. There is a fixed limit to the increase in strength and speed of the wielder. The limit was only 20 times. If Saksham absorbs more Life essence, that is only going to increase the time limit for the increase in strength and speed he gets. He won"t get any more increase in speed or strength even if he kills more people. So, in a way, it evens out the OP properties of the weapon.
With the dagger in hand, Saksham made up his mind and activated the active skill of the suit, [Adrenaline Overload]. After activation, Saksham felt as if his blood was boiling. He felt light-headed for a while. He found that his heart started banging loudly against his chest. His perception also started to grow keener. When he looked at a mosquito which was about 10m away from him, he found out that he could even see its eyes clearly.
Saksham shook his head as this was not the time to admire the changes to his body, and disappeared into the darkness. Akshay"s men were not walking all together in a group. Akshay had them spread out to look out for any suspicious people. Saksham saw this and decided to start from the man walking at the furthest back of the group. Saksham ran on his toes, making absolutely no sounds and crept up behind the man. He took a deep breath and put a hand on the man"s mouth and without any hesitation, Saksham slit his throat. The man immediately lost his strength and fell backward. Saksham supported the body but didn"t let go of his mouth.
But in the next second, the body of the man decayed in front of Saksham, becoming lighter by the second. After a few seconds, the man"s body turned into ashes and disappeared. This made Saksham stunned for a second before realizing that this should have happened because the dagger absorbed the life essence of the man. After realizing this, Saksham ran his finger across the blade of the dagger and found that its sharpness has increased by a lot.
Saksham then ran to the person in front and once again put a hand on his mouth tightly before slitting his throat. This time, the person struggled a bit but before he could do something else, his body turned into ashes and disappeared. After that man disappeared, Saksham felt a warm current running in his body.
In the next 2 minutes, Saksham wiped out almost all the goons brought by Akshay, and feeling the power given by the dagger, Saksham couldn"t help but clench his fist excitedly. Right now, his [Adrenaline Overload] was about to end, but the total strength he had now was more than a [Physical Trainee]. His strength and speed totally surpa.s.sed that of a [Physical Trainee] and from the fluctuation given out by the person in front, Saksham could clearly tell that he was much stronger than him in his present state. At first, he was afraid that even if he used his [Adrenaline Overload], he still wouldn"t be able to beat that guy. But it turned out that his worries were superfluous.
Although Saksham was stronger than the guy in front, that didn"t mean that he would walk out of the darkness and then s.h.i.t talk with him and Akshay and kill him fair and square. No, Saksham had no such idea. Doing all that would just be a waste of time and energy.
At this time, the last person of the goons brought by Akshay suddenly felt weird. As he looked back, he found out that there was no one else behind him. There were only 4 people walking in front of Akshay and Vikram and he was the only person left walking behind them. Other people somehow disappeared. Feeling creepy about the situation, he informed his boss about it. But in the next second, the world in front of him turned black and his body also turned into ash.
When Akshay and Vikram looked back, Saksham took this time to move rapidly between the four people in front and cleanly severed their heads with only a little flick of his wrist. Before the heads even fell on the ground, their bodies turned into ashes.
