System Mission III

"Help! Help! SOMEBOD…"

Tud

A body dropped to the ground, and the female voice screaming for help ceased.

'These things are common around these kinds of places, huh? Youths really shouldn't be drinking alcohol.'

Cling Cling Clank

Ezra stealthily walked over to the sight were the voice came from. As he crept over, without even trying, he saw three young men and one older man standing close to eachother in an alley way. Before them on the ground, was a woman that looked to be in her late twenties or early thirties. She was out cold. The men around her had a particular expression on their faces that was very telling, not to mention that they had already started taking off their belts.

Ezra waited a little bit before emerging.

"Youths really shouldn't drink alcohol. There's literally a brothel down the street, but this is the most enjoyable, huh?" Ezra said, catching the attention of the four.

They all had their trousers and underwears below their asses, except for one, so it was quite the situation. Ezra walked closer, as they all tried to adjust their clothing before thinking of defending themselves.

"Who are you?"

"Hey, where the fuck did you appear from, rat."

"Take care of that one, I'll have a go first." The older man said, as he got down on the woman, taking off her clothes. Just then, Ezra noticed that her legs moved, and then she seemed to have woken up and tried to free herself from the man's grip on her, but she was easily overpowered, and her head was banged on the ground hard, stopping her struggle, but she wasn't out yet.

'Heh… Really.'

The next step Ezra took, he activated his skill, and immediately he noticed that the ones that were walking over had stopped, and one of them even fell backwards to his ass.

Ezra wasn't aware of the fact that his activating this skill caused his eyes to illuminate a bit, in a blood red colour. To those looking at him, it was simply the devil. Even the one who's back was turned at him and busy with the woman felt it.

This time, Ezra really didn't need to do much, they all foamed in the mouth and fainted, but one died out of shock, since Ezra received a kill notification.

"I guess it's too much for normal human beings, huh?"

He walked through the bodies, and with a clean slit on their throats, killed them all, leaving the older man.

'This guy probably has the most information. He will be useful.'

"Now, for her… I certainly can't save her, just to let her die, right?"" Ezra asked himself. He could see that her head was already bleeding.

'But I like her, so I'll help her.'

This woman was also a normal human being, and when Ezra activated his skill, he had not targeted it at particular people, meaning that she was supposed to be affected also, but she was still alive, even though she was in that situation.

'Or did she faint? Is that why she's not affected?'

'The fuck? Just because I stopped some random rape? But, the rewards are good, though.' Ezra accepted immediately without much thought.

Maybe he hadn't noticed, but something about him had been changing.

'But to have them revere me…'

After Ezra 'saved' the lady, he took her somewhere else and treated her using potions from the system. Surprisingly, the health potions seemed to have a greater effect on normal people, maybe too much. She was completely fine after some seconds passed.

All Ezra did was play it as part of his magic, and she believed. That alone was enough for her to count as someone he saved. Healing her really did raise her view of him.

As for the older man from before, it was a different scenario.

'This guy is really sturdy. I'm sure he got beat as a kid pretty frequently.' Ezra thought to himself. No matter how much he hit the man, he just wouldn't budge.

Using his vast knowledge, Ezra thought of a way to torture the man and extract information from him. If it was another day, he would have given up already and find someone else, since the man might not know anything. But, this one had not mentioned or acted in a way that would make it possible for him not to know anything. He was pretty stubborn.

"Drink this first." Ezra said, as he held the man's mouth open by pressuring the sides of his mouth, then pouring something into his mouth.

The man swallowed inevitably.

'Since these things work so well, I just have to dilute it now. Don't want him at hundred percent.'

After that, the man even had the guts to spit on Ezra. Good thing he was fast and moved out of the way.

'I can't regret using this poison anymore.' Ezra thought to himself.

Within his hand, a vail of poison appeared. It looked dark in colour, but if brought into light, one would see that it was purple.

After all, they were currently at some abandoned alley that had a dead end, in a shitty neighnourhood, no one was going to disturb, not even Gotham's vigilante.

"I just need dot dilute this a little… Why not everything? That'll work just fine. This will be a long night after all." Ezra said, much to his hostage's hearing.

"What's that? What are you planning to do?" The man asked, a bit curious, but he still showed no signs of fear or worry.

Of course, he got no answers.
