"Huhu. I didn't think I'll meet you so soon." Phantom sniggered.

Ashton was filled with rage the moment he saw Phantom. It was likely that the one before him was yet another body-double.

[Calm down. Your rage isn't going to finish him off any sooner.]

The two were in battle mode as soon as their eyes fell on each other. Ashton immediately activated [Blood Armour]. Had he been late for even a moment, his body would have been full of holes as Phantom open-fired on him.

Phantom's quickness was much higher than Ashton had predicted. His Perception saved his ass for once, but Phantom wasn't done yet. In an era of advanced weaponry, Phantom was carrying old weapons, which could only mean one thing.

[It seems he's aware of your immunities.]

Most modern weapons utilised lasers as their primary ammo. Whether it be plasma swords or plasma pistols. Since Ashton was immune to [Fire] and all associated elements, the modern weapons posed little to no threats to his life.

'That bastard knows much more about me than he divulged earlier.' Ashton clicked his tongue as a bullet managed to graze his face.

"Where's all your bravado gone to now? Haha!" Phantom shrieked amidst the endless barage of bullets, "I thought you would pose more of a threat to me, but it seems you're nothing special after all!"

Upon sensing danger creeping up on him, Ashton made a break for the nearest window and jumped outside without a second thought. Despite how much he wanted to kill Phantom, Eula's safety took precedence over anything.

However, Phantom was onto him even before Ashton's feet touched the ground. His enemy was on a completely different level than Ashton had anticipated based on his previous encounter with Phantom's puppet.

[His class... It's quite an extraordinary one.]

'What do you mean?'

[I might have found out why he's so strong. He's a Question Master. Basically, whenever someone questions him or someone replies to his question, a percentage of their power gets transferred to him.]

"What? Was your kind smoking weed while coming up with classes?"

[...I don't know about it myself.]

Ashton was beyond furious. At least he wasn't clueless about Phantom's mysterious growth. Phantom struck him again, and Ashton's newly regenerated blood armour shattered again.

No matter how hard Ashton tried, he couldn't sustain the armour for long. While Ashton wasn't delusional enough to think the fight against Phantom would be easy, he had not expected it to be utterly one-sided like it had been so far.

[You can't keep using Blood Armour over and over, the mana cost of the skill has already gone beyond permissible levels!]

'I didn't want to use it here, but we have no option.'

Ashton closed his eyes and entirely depended on [Perception] to defend himself. To equip [Hydra's Armour], he first needed to create space between them. Unfortunately, his opponent had other plans.

Within moments, Phantom had wasted all of the bullets he had. Blood drizzled out of the countless open wounds plastered all over Ashton's body, yet he was still standing on his feet.

"Impressive!" Phantom's eyes shone, "I'll turn you into the strongest puppet ever created in this galaxy!"

"You talk too much..."

Ashton's eyes turned crimson red as he lunged at the enemy. Before the final [Blood Armour] faded, Ashton activated [Revenge Strike]. All of the damage from the bullets healed immediately as he punched Phantom straight in the gut, and he was flung back into the mansion.

Without wasting any time, Ashton chased after Him. But by the time he arrived at the wreckage of the broken wall, no one was there.

"Where the hell is he?"

[Ashton, don't!]

Astaroth knew what Ashton was going to say next. Unfortunately, he couldn't warn him in time as a question escaped Ashton's mouth.

"I'm right here!"

A bloodied hand burst through the wreckage and grabbed Ashton's knee before crushing it into pieces effortlessly. Ashton's legs gave out, but the nightmare had just started.

In his hastiness, the thought of donning [Hydra's Armour] had completely slipped Ashton's mind. Phantom kept attacking Ashton. Blood poured from his mouth, and his vision shook. Ashton was having difficulty focussing on Phantom's strange, irregular fighting pattern.

Every blow got heavier. Even Ashton's troll-like regenerative abilities failed him at this point. By now, the news of Phantom's arrival, coupled with destruction of the manor, had attracted the attention of the mercenaries who came rushing to aid their comrade.

However, they couldn't believe their eyes. Ashton was lying in the pool of his blood. Almost beaten to an inch of his life. Vimur's eyes connected with Ashton. The horror in his eyes was enough to send shivers down their spine.

"Everyone, form a defensive parameter around Ashton. Laihud, forget about the rest of us and focus on healing Reaper." Vimur immediately started barking orders to everyone.

Vimur might have seen the horror in Ashton's eyes, but he had no way of knowing the true meaning behind his twisted expression.

The more people there were, the higher the possibility of them asking and answering Phantom's questions. Moreover, panic and terror always make a mess within people's heads. This leads them to be confused, and this confusion makes them question everything.

It was a feast for Phantom and the start of a bloody massacre.
