Episode 6 - The Search (4)

Their meeting began. They discussed how, when, and from where exactly they should execute the plan, now that The Heroes were here.

They seemed to not panic considering the ones regarded as The Heroes were here. The Heroes could've easily ruined their plans, and yet they remained calm and composed.

"We'll begin our attack midnight when everyone would be tired and exhausted. Our first attack would be on the market for diversion. Then we'll release the mad-driven slaves we used as guinea pigs to attack the Royal Palace. While every single Royal Knight would be busy eliminating them, we will use our special experimented slave. We will use force on her to activate her powers and wipe out every trace of the Royal Family."

They all snickered. They seemed to be fully trusted on the plan they'd made, thinking they would succeeded in it. But still, seeing all this in person instead of reading or hearing about it...

It felt... So lame! That's so cringe! I wanna throw up already!

I, who was looking and hearing them secretly, felt cringed and looked at them with disgust.

"Speaking of her, I heard from one of my subordinates about a man who seemed to be looking for something in the slums." One of them smirked. "He was quite handsome, so I ordered my subordinates to capture him alive. I will most likely use him as my plaything forever. But should he refuse..." She giggled. "I'll force him to make him mine."

A chill spent down my spine and stirred up something inside me. Something that shouldn't have awakened.

Huh? What the hell is she even talking about? These thoughts ran in my mind as my face became void of expression.

"Hahahaha! Make sure you don't break him."

"You always end up breaking up your toys."

"Oh, come on!" She pouted. "It's not my fault they end up like that! Gosh, stop teasing me!"

They laughed a loud.

"Poor him."

"Good grief. He's good as dead."

They are making fun of brother, right? My face was blank, but my eyes brimmed with murderous intent. I can kill them, right? No one would complain either.

I was so ready to kill them all in the most painful way possible, because of something that had awaken inside me once again.

Yes, that was my dark side that had begun to take root deep within my heart once again. It only meant one simple thing: Things weren't going to end pretty for the ones before me.

"Ah, if he breaks, could you give me to perform some experiments?" He snickered.

They all seemed to be having one of the best moments of their lives. They seemed to be enjoying themselves to their heart's content.

The woman chuckled softly before answering. "Sure thing. Though I just hope he won't break."

They all laughed heartily. It only annoyed me further. It made me snap out of my highest tolerating point.

You guys are so dead. I whispered these words in my mind before deactivating the skill which was activated and using another skill.

I dashed towards their boss who wanted Kane's body as experiment once he was dead. While dashing towards him in a swift blur motion, I picked up a worn-out chair.

"Well, well, what's very amusing—"

I appeared him in a blur, just above his head. "You seem to be having fun." I raised the chair over my head. "Mind if I join?"

I then hit his head with the chair so hard that he went flying to the side in which direction he was hit.

Confusion and panic clawed at their throats as they saw me appearing out of nowhere before them and sending their boss flying.

"Who are you—?!" The woman, who was boasting about toying with Kane forever, opened her mouth.

But I didn't let her finish. A radiant orb burst from my palm, slamming her through the walls.

[Leo Aries Voidwalker has used the skill: "Divine Beam".]

It was the [Divine Beam] that had hit her straight in guts from my palm. That women went flying backwards, breaking the numerous walls as she flew backwards.

"What the—?!"

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Isn't he the person we were tailing?!"

"Why's he here?!"

I was glad that they were full of their energies. They could stand against my attacks for a while. I wasn't going to go easy on them. I was going to let all the anger mustered up Inside me out.

"Glad to see you all looking so lively." I grinned menacingly. "Let's see how well you fight while I let off some steam."

They materialized all sorts of weapons in their hands with a simple swift flick of their wrists. To be honest, I was planning to avoid using my sword. But now that they want it themselves... how could I refuse to such an invitation?

I summoned my sword with a swift flick and dashed at one of them.

[Leo Aries Voidwalker has used the skill: "Divine Dash".]

Now that I'd leveled up my [Mage] skill to its almost maximum level, I didn't need to active it over and over again.

However, I could use this skill when I might run into a situation where I couldn't use Magic at will.

My sword clashed with her spear. She was swift to move unlike her companions who stared at her in confusion. She was doing her best to push me away, but I just kept on applying more force to it, making her stagger, and landing swift kick at her stomach once I closed in our distance in a second.

My attack wasn't so powerful to send her flying backwards or anything. She just skid backwards, and held her stomach in pain as she knelt down, still holding her spear as support. Something felt off... My strength was weaker than usual.

I didn't know the exact reason. However, I did know that I'd to put an end to this fight swiftly, and ask them the whereabouts of the girl they mentioned so I could eliminate her to avoid the catastrophe from happening.

I wasn't an idiot who wouldn't know who could be the reason for the catastrophe Xiao told Kane about after hearing these lots. These guys here only saved my time for the search of the reason for catastrophe.

I tilted my head in menace to the rest of the folks of mixed races.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Wanna die without a fight! Huh?! Come on!"
