A Counter

In a garden-like structure, one can see the figure of a woman with extremely long green hair sitting in a lotus position. As she was peacefully meditating, another female suddenly entered the garden and bowed her head toward the green-haired woman.

"Why have you come?" The melodious voice of the green-haired woman resounded in the garden. The female who entered the garden raised her head, and with cold swear visible on her forehead said.

"It seems that the Demonic Cult has sent another attack. And, this time, our city is the target." She said in a weak-toned voice. Her long slender legs were visibly shaking, we are unaware if it was due to fear of the woman in front of her, or anger toward the Demonic Cult...

"Hmm, to dare come to my city. It seems that they are confident that I am a weakling. Do they not know that in this kingdom, I am the strongest Body Evolution Cultivator!" The green-haired female said with a smirk plastered on her face. She then stood up to her feet while she ordered her servant.

"Call those lazy punks from the Heavenly Body Sect. They are to help in ridding this city of the Demonic Cults' spawns." She said as she then disappeared from the room, leaving a female servant with cold sweat running across her body.

The heavy and oppressive feeling in the garden also disappeared.

Sitting on top of a rooftop, Saber's dashing smile was present as he gazed at the pair of gauntlets in his hand. He felt as if he had a natural affinity with a weapon such as this.

It did not mean he'll stop using the sword, no, he enjoyed the feeling of slicing his opponents in half or decapitating their heads, but the feeling of doing such things with your own pair of hands felt way better.

With this in mind, Saber adorned the pair of gauntlets as he then shifted his attention toward the massacre that was currently happening. The pandemonium he has caused was able to gain him millions of deaths without him needing to do anything.

Everywhere his domain went, the people under the illusion killed each other off relatively quickly as, before even an hour, Saber had already traveled throughout the whole outer section of the city.

His Kill points had already surpassed four million and were still steadily rising. But, just as he was about to burst out in laughter, he suddenly caught the scene of seven people heading toward him.

They had stepped into his domain, allowing him to see every minute action of theirs. Saber's interest grew as he realized that they were all unaffected by his illusion.

It also seemed that they cared little about the deaths of those who resided in this city since they watched these residents of this city kill each other in cold blood.

They watched on, and they did nothing to stop it. This caused a smile to form on Saber's childish face as he disappeared from the rooftop.

In the dead of night, walking through a street filled with people who were fighting and murdering each other, seven figures who seemed to be invisible to the normal people's eyes, walked on with cold eyes toward a certain location.

But, while they were walking, the one in lead, a female who had long green hair, suddenly halted her movements as she said with visible alarm.

"He...he suddenly disappeared." She said. Shockingly, she was able to observe Saber using the device in her hand. An orb that showcased the rooftop that Saber once sat on. But, with him suddenly disappearing, a stifling feeling suddenly appeared in her chest.

"Hmm, how are you people unaffected by my illusions? You clearly are way weaker than me. So weak that I am left speechless by the fact that you dare come to fight me." Saber's voice entered the seven lifeforms' ears, startling them greatly in the process.

How was someone able to sneak up on them? It was a shocking and scary question as one should ask themselves why the said person doesn't kill them one time. Does he have such confidence that he'll be able to kill them...or is it arrogance?

Darting their gazes behind, the sight of Saber in the form of a child with long black and purple hair could be seen. Immediately thereafter, the faces of a certain man who looked to be in his late thirties ringed out in everyone's ear.

"Oh City Lord, did you call us here to handle a simple little brat. Simply because he can hide his presence, doesn't mean he is the cause of all this mayhem." He said in a condescending tone.

His robes made it obvious he was a member of the Heavenly Body sect, and his arrogance was comparable to even the old man who was the leader of the Heavenly body sect in Saber's previous city.

But, just as he finished speaking, they all watched on with shock as Saber disappeared from his position. As they wondered what trickery just took place in front of their eyes, Saber's childish voice ranged out from the front of the group this time.

"So, is this the thing that allows you to be immune to my illusions?" Saber asked them, in the palm of Saber's palm, one can see it gripping what seemed to be an arm with a bracelet on its wrist.

Ahhhhh!!

Soon after, a blood-curling scream left the lips of the once haughty mouth of the Heavenly Body sect leader. The six others, including the green-haired city lord, were instantly made aware of the disparity in strength compared to Saber.

But, before any of them could react, Saber's figure disappeared once more. This time, if one was flying in the skies, they'll be able to see that on top of the rooftop where Saber once sat, he was back again, as in the location where he confronted the seven, only headless bodies remained.

Headless bodies which were only now falling to the ground.

"I do not have any time to deal with useless people." Saber said. His voice then rang out once more while he watched the bracelet in his palm with interest.

"This thing...whoever made this can prevent my illusions from working. It seems that only the king of this kingdom will have any idea where the being responsible for making this even is." Saber said.

Thereafter, Leviathan appeared in his chibi form on top of Saber's shoulder and said.

"The master doesn't need to concern himself with such a task. By the time the master figures out who is responsible for creating this item, the master will already have enough Kill points to enter the Spirit Insight realm.

After all, there are tens of millions of humans in the capital city, which is the city closest to here. I am sure the master is going there now since this city has already fallen." Leviathan coldly stated.

Surprisingly he already wrote this city as a fallen one. And, rightfully so, as the living beings of this city were as good as dead now that they didn't have anyone at all to protect them.

This city that Saber personally massacred, was left with rivers of blood and guts. Any normal person would be left scarred, but Saber...

Seeing such a sight, Saber could only smile at the scene of artistic work as he then approached the exit that was located on the opposite side of the entrance of this city.
