DEVIANT

Chapter 41: Death is peaceful

Hearing Silver’s words the hunter in black cloak stopped moving but his back remained turned on the duo. His grip on the tail of the dead mutant beast tightened as he slowly turned to meet their gaze.

“You don’t know who are do you? Stealing the game of the members of the big four is not something the country will let go of” Silver said coldly.

He tried to scare this man with his background since he already gauged the man’s strength and concluded that he should be a C-rated hunter at best. Someone like this shouldn’t be important enough so should still fear people from powerful families.

“Y-you two are f-from the capital?” The hunter asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Judging based on his voice and how he stammered when trying to speak, it was obvious this man has been away from civilization for a while now. While Silver felt like his plan is going well, Alex’s face turned pale as he felt a small killing intent directed towards them.

“Yes, and we are members of the big four... I am sure you have heard of us... This beast is ours, we started the fight and would have finished it if you didn’t get involved... So hand it over!” Silver said with a triumphant smile on his face, ignorant of the fearful look on Alex’s face.

The hunter nodded in understanding as he heard this as he let go of the tail of the beast before walking towards the duo. Right now his eyes seemed void of emotions and his grip on his black spear tightened.

.....

“Outside here, the rule of the jungles is all that matters... Let me see if your background can save you from me!” The hunter growled as he charged forward with his strange footwork!

“Get back!” Alex grabbed Silver by the hand and pulled him back as he took a step forward while swearing he will find a secret technique on footwork when he returns.

Puff!

He expected the combination of his matter absorption earth armor and the bronze statue secret technique would be able to block a spear attack from his enemy but to his creates surprise the spear cut through his earth armor and barely made it through his bronze skin, piercing his body!

“This!” Alex muttered as blood and saliva crept out of his mouth while he held the spear preventing it from going any deeper!

“YOU!!!” Silver growled as he pulled out his handgun trying to shoot but the enemy quickly moved his spear forcing Alex to move with it.

Using Alex as a meatshield Silver was forced to hesitate, giving the man the chance he needed.

Whoosh!

Letting go of the black spear the man spun in the air gracefully, delivering a swift kick to Silver’s hand, knocking the handgun away!

Seeing this, Silver tried to retreat but it was already too late! The enemy approached, releasing a flurry of kicks at the youth. His attacks were so fast and precise, Silver had no choice but to raise his hands in defense.

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

Following the countless kicks, Silver retreated and felt his arms go numb. If it wasn’t for the summoned gauntlets his arms should be broken by now.

Dang!

The sound of the metal spear falling echoed as Alex slowly got on his feet. Luckily the wound is shallow but even then he felt exhausted. Never in his life has he received so much beating in a short time. He felt his joints ache and honestly, he didn’t want to fight anymore.

“I am tired” Alex muttered and Silver frowned.

He could tell Alex’s condition is really bad, so fighting this man now is not the best idea. His left hand is broken, he probably suffered some broken ribcages and he had more wounds on the outside than on the inside.

Thud!

The Hunter didn’t care about Alex’s words and swiftly approached the youth! He stretched his hand and the spear flew into his hand before he jumped towards Alex with the spear stabbing forward! He saw Alex is lacking the will to fight and chose to put an end to him first!

“Alex!” Silver screamed in fear as he watched the spear just a breath away from his friend who is yet to make a move.

Xiu!

As if reacting to Silver’s call, Alex’s eyes dilated as he lunged forward.

Using the second form of his martial technique he predicted the possible moves of his enemy tilting his head to the left and watching the spear brush against his cheeks.

“DIE!!” Alex growled at the top of his voice as his fist struck forward like lightning.

THIRD FORM OF THE DEMON KIN SECRET TECHNIQUE: KILL!!!

His eyes revealed killing lights as his fist struck the belly of the enemy sending him flying like a rocket. He watched the enemy flying away but he could also hear a voice calling him. His vision was blurring and his mind was too messy for him to focus on a single thought! Without knowing it, his vision turned black, and everywhere was silent.

Countless thoughts ran through Alex’s head and for the first time in a long while he was genuinely happy. Death isn’t so bad!

Suddenly a piercing light invaded the dark world. He wanted to resist the light but he could feel a powerful force pulling him out of the darkness. Alex struggled and cried out but no matter what he do, he couldn’t resist.

Wam!

“SHIT!” Alex abruptly sat up with a body covered in bandages, blood, and sweat, only to feel strong pain in his chest area.

“Hahaha! Many call Jesus at a time like this but your choice of word is shit... Fucking atheists” Silver chuckled.
