Being Exposed?

"It's your duty, that's what they pay you for!"

After numerous criticisms, the cultivators began to tremble...but in fury!

"My brother died to protect ungrateful garbage like you!" Shouted a mercenary as he grabbed a man by the neck who criticized him.

"You've been safe here while we risked our lives fighting for you!"

"It's...it's...it's your duty!" Cried the man as he struggled to free himself from the grip, but he was just a normal man, he couldn't do anything against a cultivator on the Core Formation stage!

"It is our duty? I will teach you what my duty is!" Said the cultivator as he punched the man, turning his body into a bloody pulp which he threw to the ground.

"What have you done?!" Said Troy as he tried to stop the mercenary.

"I did what I should have done a while ago, we fought for our homes not these rats!" Said the mercenary as he shook the gore off his shoe.

"I am sick of this shit, I'm taking my family with me somewhere else, I'm not going to fight for scum like this!"Said another cultivator as he took his family and left before the beasts reappeared.

Some followed his example and left the city with their families, leaving almost a hundred remaining cultivators to 'defend' the city.

"..."

No one expected such a development, the citizens recriminated the cultivators and they began to get angry, with Troy and Sebas's protection, the citizens became emboldened and continued their accusations.

"The Lord of the city will give you what you deserve, do you think you can orpress us because you have the strength?" The citizens had their eyes injected in blood as they shouted at the people who defended them from the beasts hours earlier.

"..."

The cultivators seemed to have lost their rationality, the stress and fury accumulated had covered their eyes with red and their breathing was accelerating.

One by one they drew their weapons and prepared their attacks, they were ready to charge but nobody dared to take the first step.

Realizing that the cultivators were just mere words, a young man who wanted to impress his friends picked up a stone and threw it against the cultivators while shouting...

"If I were you, I would kneel down and beg for mercy before our lord kills you!" Shouted the young man before he felt a warm fluid covering his body.

Xiu!

The young man grabbed his neck in an attempt to seal the hole, but the blood kept flowing like a waterfall. He could only look at his neighbors as he spat blood and covered them with it.

No one saw who it was, but a flash shone in the dark night killing numerous people who were in the front line of the crowd.

After the first deaths, screams began to flood Pearl City streets.

"Ahhhh!"

"They want to kill us!"

Panic flooded the citizens as they fled like headless chickens.

...

It was like the starting shot in a race, the cultivators possessed by their fury charged against the citizens fleeing in terror.

"Stop or I'll have to act!" Shouted Troy as he stood in front of his people.

"..."

To the furious cultivators, the wounded Troy was only a fat boar on their way, they charged against him and among several cultivators only a little weaker than him they imbovilized Troy.

"No, please!" Shouted a man as he was stabbed by a cultivator with angry red eyes.

"I'm going to claim my wage on my own!"Said a cultivator as he dragged a woman into an alley,she tried to resist but the difference of forces was like heaven and earth!

"Bring me to your house before I make steaks out of your body!" Shouted another cultivator as he threatened the merchant.

"I'll give you all my money, please don't kill me!" Yelled the fat man as he crawled home.

...

Screams filled Pearl City, the people who defended the city now plundered it and killed its citizens!

Troy and Sebas tried to stop the cultivators, but after fighting and receiving so many wounds against the beasts, it was impossible to stop a hundred cultivators with their remaining strength.

"..."

Rainer was unable to assimilate what was happening, the city was being besieged by humans themselves instead of beasts!

"People only seek their own benefit, the stupid Pearl City citizens are paying for their selfishness and ignorance with blood..." Said Liann as she looked at the chaos that had been generated.

"Selfishness is something shared by all races no matter what world you're in... "Rainer thought.

"Rainer, what shall we do?" Asked Alisha.

While they were talking, a girl ran towards them with a pale face, this girl was Dexia.

"My father and uncle need your help to stop the chaos in Pearl City!" Although exhausted, Dexia spoke to Rainer's group without even pausing to breath.

"..."

Rainer looked at her indifferently, he seemed to be thinking about what to answer.

When she saw Rainer wavering, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to guide him to his father.

"...!"

What she didn't expect was that after grabbing Rainer's wrist, instead of following her, he got rid of her grip and pushed her away from him!

"No...."

"What?!"

"I won't...I've always been too naive...you think I'm going to help you after all that happened...your father didn't even come out in my defense... in my opinion, Pearl City can go to hell, I won't move a finger to protect people like this.I may be young but I'm not brainless..." Rainer said as he watched the flames spreading through Pearl City.

"Alisha, I wanted to save them, but I'm not going to help people who don't deserve it... "Rainer said as he looked directly at Alisha.

"I... understand how you feel, it hurt to me too when they criticized you after everything we've done for this city... "Alisha replied as she clenched her fists in frustration.

"That's why I told you we should have left as soon as we heard about the beast wave..." Liann said as she walked through the Pearl City entrance gate.

"..."

Rainer and Alisha followed her in silence, behind them, a city on fire and drowned in screams and blood slowly disappeared.

At the city entrance, Dexia was left blank while her blood-covered father and Sebas grabbed her and fled in another direction.

The next day, the arrival of the second wave of beasts erased all traces of the incident, of course, the survivors who fled reported the events and the news reached the Guyi rulers.

...

In a luxurious palace, many half-naked girls ran around the room while 'playing'.

A swimming pool helped these girls suppress their 'heat' as they played among themselves.

Sitting on a throne surrounded by these young women was an elderly man who enjoyed these worldly pleasures.

A man was kneeling as he communicated to his Emperor the latest news concerning his orders.

"You say that a young man controlled these giant beasts and used them to defend the city?" Asked Julius II of Sirius, the human Emperor.

"Yes, the report mentions that the young man used a strange magic and summoned them to fight." The servant answered.

"That young man must be in possession of the artifact! Find him and bring him to me!" Ordered the Emperor as he imagined himself controlling the world with the giants' power.

"Yes, at your service!" The servant bowed and left to prepare the capture teams.

"We humans have been silent for several decades...it is time to claim what is ours by nature!" Said the Emperor as he stroked the breasts of a young girl who could be his daughter....
