The radiance rising in Zeka Kree's right eye swept toward Herbert like a storm.
Veins instantly bulged across Herbert's swollen face, twisting it into a hideous grimace, but... above all, it was filled with pain!
"How does it feel to have your brains boiling?"
"I told you, you're no use to me anymore!"
"I won't show mercy to someone useless!"
Clutching his left eye, Zeka Kree stared at the suffering Herbert with his right eye glowing in five colors and roared again and again.
He disregarded the so-called plan.
He gave no thought to what came afterward, either.
All he wanted now was for Herbert to die.
But that wish was destined to go unfulfilled.
Bam!
Qin Ran kicked him in the neck.
The unrestrained force sent Zeka Kree flying sideways, the bones throughout his body cracking sharply.
After smashing through a wall to the side, Zeka Kree bounced onto the floor like a ball, landing facedown and coughing up a great deal of blood.
Qin Ran's all-out strike had not only broken his neck. The force that spread through him had also shattered the rest of his bones and severely jarred his internal organs.
In fact, surviving that strike at all was proof of Zeka Kree's extraordinary constitution.
The bulging veins on Herbert's face quickly disappeared.
His face remained swollen, but the hideous grimace and pain were gone.
"Thank you!"
"I almost thought I was really going to die!"
"Thank goodness you got here in time, 2567!"
Looking at Qin Ran standing before him, Herbert spoke with a bitter smile.
"How are you feeling?"
Qin Ran asked Herbert.
"Not too bad... I'm a little dizzy, but I still remember the incantation to open the Emperor's Legacy!"
"But I'll need you to support me for the rest of the way."
