After kindly dropping off Rose back there, Ryo continued flying towards his targets. He utilized energy manipulation to lock on to a specific energy signature and then simply followed that to it's source. (Similar to what Goku does with instant transmission)
This was one of the first ways to use that ability that Ryo learned. It required only basic understanding of the ability.
There are many ways to use energy manipulation and Ryo was far from mastering what it could truly do. According to what the system said, when fully mastering this ability you could influence or even control laws of the universe.
Finally he closed in on the ogres he had met before. They were just ahead, fighting some opponents. That's what Ryo guessed at least, since he could get a reading on more then six signatures. He assumed the ogres were currently fighting someone, and he was right.
"Let me take care of this, young master!" The old ogre that Ryo held great interest towards stepped in front of the red haired one taking a lazy stance. But a talented fighter would instantly recognize that the old man showed no openings in his stance. Whatever the opponents threw at him, he could probably counter perfectly.
"I'll leave it to you, old man" The young master of the ogres stepped back quietly.
"A coward, are we? forcing old men to fight your battles, what a pathetic monster you are!" One of the people facing them ridiculed the ogre out loud.
There were eight vicious looking human facing them. They all had scars all over their bodies and a cruel smile plastered on their faces. There was six males and two females in the group and the male at the front who was speaking seemed to be the leader.
He had long black hair that was hanging loosely all over the place and an eye patch over his left eye. He had the most confident and arrogant smile Ryo had ever seen. He was frankly impressed there existed people this naive to the world. The man had such a pathetic amount of strength, but still he walked around like he owned everything and everyone. Ryo was definitely amused, and he intended to let the ogres handle this.
Ryo quickly analyze the old ogre to check his power level, and he had 122,976. Compared to the Rose now he didn't amount to much, but against these humans he was probably the scariest person ever.
"Come face your death, young ones!" The old man had one of his eyes closed, and gave a knowing condescending smile to his opponents.
"You f**king piece of old garbage! Wait and see how ill rip your inside out of you!" Another man behind the leader screamed towards the old ogre.
"ha ha, quite the scary one, aren't ya" An even more condescending smile appeared on the old man.
"Wait till i get my hands on you, old man!" Another man jumped in again.
"You shouldn't talk so much. Focus on your opponent." The young master of the ogres gave a quick advice to the humans.
"Stay out of this you coward." The leader said, and turned back to the old man. At which point he noticed the old man had disappeared.
"Behind you, young man!" The old ogre appeared behind the man and carefully raised his sword and cut the mans left are clean off.
"AARRRGGGGHHH!! Get him! KILL HIM!!" The leader was on his knees, trying to stop the bleeding.
"HEAL ME ANN! THE REST OF YOU, KILL HIM!" The leader showed surprising leader qualities as he still was able to give commands to the the rest of his group.
"Understood!" One of the in the group moved to heal their leader. She didn't see the shadow appear behind her.
"Now how could i allow something like that. I take no pleasure in what's to come, accept my apologize" The old ogre raised his sword ones again and sliced the woman's head off. A perfect cut with no hesitation.
"AAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!" The other female reacted immediately and rushed the old man with bloodshot eyes and a crazy look on her face.
The others all stood frozen, unable to move. The old man moved between them like he was teleporting and they could only watch on as he sliced the head of their comrade.
The woman reached the old man, and brought down her big two handed sword to slice the old man in half. As the woman raised her arms you could hear a voice in the back, saying, "Good sword...! I want it!"
He easily side stepped and the sword got buried in the ground, and the woman didn't have time to lift it again. He moved beside her in an instant and cut her body in two.
He picked up the two handed sword from the ground and looked back at his group. More specifically, his eyes landed on one of the female ogres. She had stars in her eyes, as her eyes were glued on the sword in the old mans hands. He threw the sword and she caught it and proceeded to give the old man a thumbs up.
"Good sword! Thanks, old man!" She didn't even look at the old man. Her eyes was on the nicely looking two handed sword in her hands. The sword had a purple hilt and with white linen looking strings hanging from the back of the hilt. The blade was black in color, like the night sky. She hugged it with strength enough to kill a full grown man.
"I thank you for your kind contribution towards our group." The old man spoke to the leader. the old ogre should have bowed while saying this to truly drive the human leader to the brink of insanity, but the old man didn't bow to anyone not worthy of recognition. So a few simple words was all he could do. And it worked just fine without the bowing.
"KILL. HIM!" The man without an arm was on the verge of fainting so he spoke in a low growl, to not waste energy on screaming.
"I'll get him, you guys cover me!" One of the men snapped out of the paralyses they were in and rushed at the old man, while giving the other two orders to help them snap back into reality.
The three men rushed the old man together. The man giving out orders arrived first, and he swung his sword side ways at the old man trying to cut him open at the waist. The old man blocked the sword coming at him from the front. And watched as another man ran behind him and performed a downward slash towards his back.
He pushed away the man in front of him and turned around to deflect the blow coming towards him. The couldn't handle the force coming from the old man as he deflected hos blow, and he stumbled a slightly backwards. This was all the old man needed as he quickly rushed forward and cut the mans sword arm off. The man screamed in pain, but not for long as his head soon followed his arm and hit the ground.
"YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU!" The man at the front launched himself crazily towards the old man and slashed without any skill whatsoever. This was of course futile against someone like the old man, who probably was a master in the ways of the sword. the sword was perfectly deflected and the man lost balance. And the old man move in to cut his arm off.
The man saw this and used his sword to change direction and stabilize himself again.
"oh, that was the most impressive maneuver i have seen you guys do. You're not half bad. But unfortunately you are hundreds of years to early to succeed with only that." The old man moved fast enough to disappear from the naked eye, and reappear behind the man.
Another head hit the ground yet again, and the old man turned his head towards the last standing person in their party. "So, are you coming or am i gonna have to move?" The old man didn't bother moving and only taunted the man with his hand.
"L-Let me live! P-P-Please!" The man pleaded with a shaky voice.
"Sorry, but i believe we are all out of mercy." The old man glanced back and saw the red haired ogre nodding slightly.
"Well, then it's settled! hope you behave better in your next life." He started walking towards the man. The other party was just standing there shaking, he wanted to move but his body simple wouldn't move at all.
"MOVE DAMMIT!" He screamed out loud, but all he managed to accomplish was move his right foot a little before the last human head hit the ground.
"That was fun!" Putting his sword in it's sheath, he walked back to the rest of the ogre.
*Clap*
*Clap*
*Clap*
"That was indeed fun! But what would you say if i told you i could find something a lot more fun for all of you to do." A voice booming from above, causing all the ogres, even the old man to draw their weapons and look around in panic. Soon, a person was seen floating down from the sky.
"You!?"
