Gagano looked at the arena boredly, taking a swig of wine.
He yearned to fight against strong opponents. The Thirteen Night Swords offered him a number he couldn't refuse, asking him to deal with Jack the Ripper.
With the idea of fighting a strong opponent, he came here.
"How boring!" Gagano said.
"I hope Jack the Ripper doesn't disappoint me."
Those hired at great expense could clearly feel that Gagano, the Master of the Black Tower, was on a different level than them.
The magic fluctuations from his body were terrifyingly strong.
The others dared not approach Gagano.
The Night Knights Order members on duty were dozing off.
The members of the Knights Order here had all worked all day and were forced to come here for duty.
Moreover, they believed Jack the Ripper wouldn't come; there was the Knights Order on the periphery, and many noble guards inside.
It was said that there were even ancient relics deep inside.
With such a setup, this was hardly a place for a killer dressed as a clown to come.
Inside the underground arena, the Night Swords gathered together.
"Where is Lord Daku Aiken now?"
Count White asked.
"The Lord is negotiating with Lord Olba of The Order; they might cooperate with us."
"That would be for the best."
"With these strong individuals, plus the help of The Order, today will be Jack the Ripper's grave."
The Night Swords were all excited, believing the clown was certainly doomed.
At this moment, Count White's face suddenly changed.
Everyone followed Count White's gaze.
The clown had appeared beside them at some point.
They hadn't noticed any trace of the clown at all.
He appeared out of nowhere.
Before anyone could react, the clown leaped upwards, landing in the center of the arena.
Sino, Milia, Christina, and Alexia appeared in the audience.
The surrounding people didn't notice this.
All their attention was on the clown.
The Night Swords members were sweating profusely.
The clown had just been right next to them, which meant he could easily take their lives.
Yet, he didn't do so, instead entering the stage the Thirteen Night Swords had prepared for him.
After the clown appeared, the first contestant in the arena also made his entrance.
A muscular man stepped onto the stage.
He was a regular at this arena.
He was also the arena's ace fighter.
An existence who had survived over two hundred deathmatches.
"Jack the Ripper, prepare to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his head flew off.
Then, the Thirteen Night Swords also brought in the hired individuals to attack together.
They just wanted to kill this clown quickly; they didn't want to wait any longer.
The clown's recent actions made them realize his danger.
If they didn't kill the clown, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully later.
This clown could only be described as bizarre.
There were layers of guards here, yet the blood-soaked Jack the Ripper still appeared silently.
It was too terrifying.
All the hired experts came to the arena.
"Although I don't know why the employer is so eager to kill you, Jack the Ripper, your life will be taken by me, Swift Wind Ghost Slash!"
A masked, lanky man spoke.
The next second, he flashed in front of the clown.
He swung his sword at the clown's neck.
However, the clown's neck was easily severed.
Seeing this scene, the Night Swords finally felt a bit of security.
However, the clown's headless body suddenly attacked Swift Wind Ghost Slash, extending an arm to pierce Swift Wind Ghost Slash's heart.
"How can this be? Your head was cut off by me, how can this be?"
Swift Wind Ghost Slash died.
As everyone knew, Sid was not tall, given his age.
Jack the Ripper, however, was a tall fellow.
If the two stood together, Sid's height would only reach Jack the Ripper's shoulders.
The clown's head had been made of magic from the beginning, which was one of the reasons the clown didn't speak.
At this moment, the headless clown's body moved extremely fast on the field. The other people on the field also became like him, turning into headless corpses.
But those people could not stand up again.
Things became bizarre, and the Night Swords' expressions were extremely grim.
"Hahaha! Jack the Ripper, you truly are a strong one! I am Gagano, the Master of the Black Tower of the Lawless City! Let us fight a bloody battle!"
Gagano shouted loudly with his booming voice.
Gagano leaped into the arena, and a large pit was smashed into the ground.
Upon seeing Gagano, the Night Swords regained their confidence.
He was the Master of one of the Three Towers of the Lawless City, and his strength was formidable.
He was the strongest character they had ever seen.
He was the ace of aces among the trump cards they had prepared for today.
They had spent a billion Zeni to invite this powerful individual.
Anyone who could become a Tower Master in the Lawless City had strength that could only be described as unfathomable.
Gagnon quickly swung the greatsword in his hand.
Terrifying magical fluctuations raged across the entire arena.
Alexia could clearly feel that Gagano, the Master of the Black Tower, was even stronger than her.
The ground began to crack from the impact of Gagnon's actions.
The Night Swords couldn't even clearly see Gagano's hand speed.
He was so fast that countless afterimages appeared from his arm.
However, his opponent, the headless clown, merely dodged, showing no intention of attacking.
"Jack the Ripper, don't just dodge! Fight me head-on!"
As Gagano's words fell, Jack the Ripper's arm thrust forward.
It happened to collide with Gagano's greatsword.
However, it was Gagano's greatsword that broke.
The headless clown, Jack the Ripper, used his bare flesh to pierce through a giant magic sword from the front.
At the same time, he also pierced Gagnon's heart.
Gagano hadn't expected such a scene.
His proud strength couldn't withstand a single move against Jack the Ripper.
At this moment, the Thirteen Night Swords no longer had time to be surprised.
They all got up and started to run.
And each person ran in a different direction.
Black Tower 7, Spade 8, Spade 9, Spade 10, Spade J, Spade Q.
Six playing cards were simultaneously thrown by Jack the Ripper, each flying in a different trajectory.
But all of them simultaneously embedded themselves in the foreheads of the six Night Swords members.
"Jack the Ripper's strength is truly terrifying, easily defeating such a formidable existence with his bare body," Christina exclaimed.
The moment Gagano appeared, Christina knew she was no match for him, and probably couldn't even block a single move.
Yet, such an extremely powerful being was instantly killed by Jack the Ripper.
"Master, the clown clearly doesn't have a head, how did he manage to not die?" Christina asked.
"Because that wasn't his head; his true head is in his chest."
