{Alden's POV...}
*Wham!*
I punched Kevin again, knocking out his teeth and spilling his blood and saliva. He falls to the ground, sobbing.
His face is covered in bruises where he looks like a grape or plum with that purplish color accompanied by his own blood.
This arrogant fucker dared to attack the village where I was raised in; with Hyoran. He is so lucky that she wasn't in this village because if he ever lay his finger on her...he better not lay a finger on her.
Even if I beat his ass to a pulp, imagining him hurting Hyoran makes my blood boil.
I walked towards Keven and grabbed him by the collar.
"I ain't done with you, boy." I growled. I healed his wounds so that he can talk. "Tell me who sent you and I'll kill you quickly."
"You...you dare humiliate--"
*Crack!*
"Aaaaagh!" Kevin screamed from the pain I gave him by breaking one of his fingers.
"Tell me who sent you or that pinky ain't gonna be the last." I threatened him.
"I don't know!" Kevin said.
Wrong answer, buddy. For that, I break his ring finger.
*Crack!*
"Aaaagh!!" Kevin screamed again.
"WHO. SENT YOU?" I growled, baring my teeth at him. I did not come here to play his game, I want to know who and why.
Kevin's blood froze as I glared down to his soul. He finally knows that I can do more than just break his fingers or beat him to a bloody pulp.
He trembles at the sight of this "mob" that is capable of killing two of his comrades instantly, putting him in this condition, and purposefully keeping him alive.
Kevin gave in and tried to give me an answer, but a message kicked in.
[Incoming spear attack from behind!]
I turned around and see a bright blue spear hurdling at me.
*Clash!*
I swat the spear away with my halberd. The spear flew away and struck the ground. Then, the spear began flying back into the vegetation.
"Captain! We're here to save you!" Seth yelled, followed by the others. They now see the horror of Kevin being held by the collar and his finger broken.
"My god...how? Why is Kevin losing to a mob monster?" Edith gasped.
Kevin, who is trembling in fear managed to muster his courage and yells out to his comrades.
"K-kill him!" Kevin yelled. "Kill this mob monster! Kill him now!!"
I threw him to the ground and turned to them. They immediately began attacking.
"Fine, I'll deal with you after I kill your mooks, Kevin." I declared.
[Tyrant Spirit activated.]
[Berserk activated.]
[Oni Rage activated.]
I activated my three skills and a violent purple and red aura raged out of me.
*BWOOOM!!*
The rest of Kevin's allies was startled by my aura, but they pressed on. I'll give 'em props for not backing down, but attacking people who got nothing to do with it will not fly by me.
"Take a good look, Kevin. I'm gonna show you what a 'mob' does." I said.
I rushed towards them and grabbed Seth's head while he is in the air.
*Thoom!*
I hold Seth in the air as he flails around to break free. He stabs my arm with my spear, but the wounds he inflicts gets healed almost immediately.
"Seth!?" Edith yelled.
I can hear his muffled screams from my hand, begging for his life. I see him crying between my fingers.
"Scum." it's all I have to say to these people who killed innocent people. Although I did back in my world, but it wasn't for sport, it was accidental, inevitable even.
I then clench my hand onto Seth's head.
*CRUNCH!!*
I popped Seth's head like a water balloon, staining the grass red of his blood and brain matter. His limbs went limp and I threw his body aside.
[Rank U target slain. 2,000,000 EP awarded.]
[Level 1 Hero slain. 1,000,000 EP awarded.]
"SETH!!" Edith yelled, tears running from your eyes.
"YOU BASTARD!!" Gideon roared, rushing forward with his greatsword. The rest chased after me with various magics and weapons.
I grabbed my halberd with both hands and imbued it with my aura and made one wide swing.
*GWOOOSH!!*
I unleashed a purple tornado at them, pushing them back. Herald with a crossbow and Lucas with a sword imbued with Lightning Magic was killed in an instant as their bodies was cut into pieces.
[2 U rank targets slain. 4,000,000 EP acquired.]
[2 Level 1 Heroes slain. 2,000,000 EP acquired.]
Kevin who stood back was frozen in fear from what he is seeing.
"Lucas and Herald...slain in an instant?" Kevin gasped, shocked in horror that two of his comrades are dead despite their Hero status.
I rushed towards Gideon who is on the ground and grabbed his arms. I then began pulling his arms.
*Crrrrnk!*
"Aaaaargh!" Gideon screams in pain as his joints began to strain and his flesh beginning to tear from the inside.
"Gideon!" Edith screamed. She rushes towards Gideon in order to free him.
"It hurts! It hurts! Please stop, it huurrrrrts!!" Gideon screamed in agonizing pain as I slowly stretch his arms further.
Edith pulls out her cutlass to aim at wrist to cut off my tendon. I lift my left leg to push her away.
"Piss off." I said. I performed a frontal kick at Edith.
*WHAM!!*
*Crack!*
"GUH!!"
I kicked Edith in the gut with the sole of my foot. Edith spat blood from the impact and I soon felt something break. As a result, she was sent flying from the force of my kick.
*CRASH!!*
Edith slammed right into one of the trees and slumped down.
"EDITH!!" Ingram shouted, looking back. Since Ingram is the only one that isn't injured and my hands full with Gideon, I decided to break his arms and legs.
With the flick of my wrists, Gideon's bones were nothing more than twigs from my Extreme Strength skill.
*CRACK!!!*
*SPLRRCH!!*
"GAAAAAAAAHHH!!" Gideon shrieked in excruciating pain as well as his flesh torn open, exposing the bones and muscle inside.
I dropped Gideon and watched him flail around from the extreme pain. Tears, blood, and saliva was flung around. He kicks around the dirt and grass which in turn lands on my feet and my Tiger King Pants.
I stomped on Gideon's legs, breaking them into many pieces.
*CRACK!!*
*CRUNCH!!*
"GYAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!" Gideon screams hysterically from the newfound pain in his legs, preventing him from moving effectively.
I picked Gideon up and threw him to Kevin and Ingram. Gideon tumbled and rolled to their feet and shows them that he is foaming at the mouth.
"Help...meeee...." Gideon gurgled.
Kevin's mind went into turmoil as his comrades are being slaughtered one-sidedly and is down to four people, two of which are unable to fight.
"This is a nightmare...how can one monster put us in such a state?" Kevin thought. Ingram rushes to Kevin and puts his hands on his shoulders, snapping him out of despair.
"Boss, take Edith and Gideon and escape to Ergex. I will keep that monster at bay." Ingram said.
"What about you?" Kevin asked. Ingram brandishes his twin amethyst colored swords.
"I will hold him off. As long as--" Ingram declared, but I already caught up to Ingram and summoned a katana out of Kibuki skill.
When he turned around, I swing my Kibuki down at the middle of Ingram.
*SLASH!!!*
What Ingram saw was a red flash streaking downward between his eyes. Ingram was wide-eyed, trying to process what happened.
But he was already dead.
*Slurch!*
Soon, his vision began to divert unnaturally and blur.
*SPLRRCH!*
*Splat!*
Ingram was in one piece, now in two pieces. His flesh, brain, skeleton, including the spine and organs are in two places, spilling the blood on the green grass.
[U rank target slain. 2,000,000 EP acquired.]
[Level 1 Hero slain. 1,000,000 EP acquired.]
Kevin fell down on his rear and tried to crawl back. Kevin whimpers as I walk towards him, covered in some blood and dirt. I watch Gideon convulse and foam at the mouth, looking at Kevin.
"Help...meeee..." Gideon gurgled. I lifted my foot over his head so that he can see my looming shadow. He turns his head and sees my foot and my glowing red eyes. He can only gasp and gaze in horror, helpless as his limbs are no longer usable.
For that it will be the last time he'll ever see.
*CRRRRUNCH!!*
I stomped my foot upon Gideon's head, scattering his blood, brain, and skull around. One of his eyeballs shot out and landed near Kevin's foot.
[X+ rank target slain. 5,000,000 EP acquired.]
[Level 1 Hero slain. 1,000,000 EP acquired.]
"No...this can't be happening...all of my comrades....dead by one monster, an Oni no less. He's much more than a mob." Kevin thought to himself, racking his brain from my power.
I leaned over him as he backed himself into a tree behind him, beside Edith.
"Hey...wanna see my stats?" I said.
"What?" Kevin gasped.
"I realized that you didn't see my stats otherwise I would've known." I said.
[Attention, you are being scanned.]
[Scanning blocked.]
"Let him see."
[Removing concealments...]
Upon seeing my stats, Kevin's face became pale from the multitude of skill in my disposal. For what little will to fight he had was utterly crushed.
"So many skills...just how many skills does this boss have!?" Kevin shouted. "And what are those Hidden Skills!?"
I summoned an icicle and threw it at Edith.
*STAB!!*
The icicle pierced her chest cavity and Edith coughed out blood for the last time.
[Rank U target slain. 2,000,000 EP acquired.]
[Level 1 Hero slain. 1,000,000 EP acquired.]
"Pretty cool, huh? Although, I have some skills that needs improvements, but I'll work on it along the way." I shrugged.
"Then...you're not just a boss monster...you're a raid boss!" Kevin yelled.
"Enough talk, who sent you?" I said, changing the subject. "I know Aerizaka gave you the blessing, but she did not have the power to move people from different worlds." I give him a wide sinister grin. "My money's on Myridermas."
Kevin flinched from that name. This must mean one thing, Myridermas sent him and his cronies.
"Ah, so Myridermas did send you and your mooks." I clapped. I then grabbed his head.
"Y-you'll just give me a quick death, huh?" Kevin said, dangling. "You're right about us being sent by Myridermas."
"Buddy...who said that I'm gonna give you a quick death?" I chuckled. "And do you know what happens when the 'Protagonist' failed to beat the 'Antagonist'?"
I placed his face close to mine so he can see my glowing red eyes filled with rage inside. I said these words to break his will.
"A bad end." I said in a deep voice.
Kevin soon became engulfed by despair once more and his mind soon became blank as he has reached the end of the road.
I placed my other hand on his head and began to slowly press on his head.
*Krrrrnk!*
"Aaack!! AAAAAARGH!!" Kevin screamed in pain as his skull began creaking from my strength.
"It hurts, right? I bet that pain wasn't compared to the pain they felt when you inflicted upon them." I said.
"AAAAAAAGGHHH!! IT HURTS!!! STOP, PLEASE!!!" Kevin screamed his lungs out, begging for his life. Tears run from his eyes and the white pants he wore soon become damp with his urine.
"And when you reunite your mooks, tell Myridermas and the others this. You're next." I growled.
"AAAAHH!!! AAAAAAAAGAAA!!! PLEASE SPARE MEEEEE!!!" Kevin began screeching in excruciating pain as blood began running down his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes.
*Psssht!*
One of his eyeballs popped out of his socket and his head began to creak and deform. Soon, his teeth fall out as well.
"MOMMY!!! HEEEELL--!!" Kevin screams for his mother to help him, but he failed to finish his sentence.
*KER-SPLURRRRCH!!!*
I finally crushed his head with my own two hands, splattering his blood, brain matter, and pieces of his skull on my face.
