Chapter 27: Slaughter
Chapter 27: Slaughter
The poison dagger flew forward, and he only aimed at people below level 20!
*Dhoof!*
"Kill them!" Galdot said as he waved his hand and used some skill as two flaming shurikens flew towards the group.
"Behind me!" Isabella shouted before she used her skill, Frost Shield, as a giant shield of ice appeared and easily nullified the shuriken.
"No way!" Galdot was shocked upon his fire shuriken getting nullified! They just turned into steam and vanished without substantially damaging the frost shield.
"Arghhh!"
"W-What is this?!"
"No!"
On the other hand, Erix was flying up on the trolley while manipulating his poison dagger.
Just a slight graze, and people below level 15 were dead! Normally, it would be hard to kill so many people with this dagger because it was a melee weapon with short range. However, in Erix's hand, it became a death reaper that would let no one escape.
Some could deflect the dagger, but only once before the reaper took their life.
*Swoosh!*
Rin was like a fearless swordmaster as she dashed with her fast speed after releasing her Sword Beam to kill a level 22 woman in Galdot's group.
"Fuck!" Galdot cursed as he saw Rin arriving in front of him. He quickly used his Burst Step skill as a blast of air left his feet's sole, and he jumped six meters backward to dodge Rin's slash.
"You are not getting away!" Rin hissed coldly with her clenched jaw and focused expression as she unleashed a Sword Beam toward Galdot before he landed on the ground.
The Sword Beam directly hit his head before it burst into blood mesh. Perfect Aim! Deader than Dead!
"Bitch!" Tanila furiously cursed as she attacked Rin with her claw gauntlets.
'Lightning Charge, Thunder Blitz!'
Rin calmly dodged Tanila's dash attack before she used two skills in quick succession.
Lightning Charge empowered her sword, while Thunder Blitz allowed her to dash five meters away as she passed Tanila and the other four people of Galdot's group before slashing her sword at the last person.
*Chriiii! Crackle!*
A thunderclap reverberated as the person struck with Rin's sword died instantly before a lightning bolt passed through the other three people, and lastly, Tanila!
[You have killed a level 22 human.]
[You have killed a level 19 human.]
…
All five of them died!
"No…" Ralph despaired as he saw the scene he was not expecting to see.
Lena, Serina, and the bodyguards also killed those soldiers. One bodyguard was fatally injured in his stomach and fainted, but the whole fight was one-sided!
The average level and stat difference were big!
After all, killing that Helix Flower monster caused everyone to level up multiple times!
Four of the five bodyguards reached level 17, and one was level 18.
Lena and Serina reached level 23 and level 22, respectively.
Isabella also reached level 22, while Rin and Erix reached level 31 and level 32.
Moreover, Erix and Rin were too overpowered because the effect of the Ignis Ad intimacy effect was still ongoing.
They took out 80% of the enemies!
It was a one-sided slaughter, and the fight ended in a minute.
Interestingly, some orbs also appeared on the ground after those people died.
A total of six orbs, three Cyan and three White.
Galdot and two others from his group dropped three Cyan orbs while those three White orbs were from other people.
Everyone died except for Lieutenant Ralph.
"What do we do with this guy?" Rin said as she put her sword at Ralph's neck.
"That depends on his choice," Erix said as he descended and floated in front of Ralph.
"I was against their decision! Spare me," Ralph became desperate and started begging.
"He'll join our group and come with us to the Military to tell them the story that happened here," Toshin thoughtfully said.
"Yes, I will tell them how these guys turned into greedy wolves seeing your treasure chests. All you did was self-defense!" Ralph quickly spoke while nodding desperately.
Erix looked at him with narrowed eyes behind his mask before he calmly uttered.
"Kill him."
*Slash!*
Rin's sword moved swiftly, separating Ralph's head from his body.
He dropped a Cyan orb.
"Why?" Lena asked with a frown.
"Exactly," Erix said as he turned to Lena and others. "Why should we leave him alive and tell the military we encountered them?"
"Once we drop you to the military base, we will separate. There's no need to say that we met this Lieutenant Ralph's group or whatever," Rin said as she swung her sword powerfully to remove the blood before sheathing it at her waist.
"I agree with them," Serina said as she crossed her arms under her boobs. "Who knows what they would have done to us if they knew that we killed these people and soldiers, even if Ralph told them that we just self-defended."
"Sigh…" Toshin sighed heavily as he looked into the sky and muttered, "Why did this have to happen?"
Isabella's face was not okay. She didn't kill anyone and just defended the group from enemy skills by controlling the frost shield.
'Those people died….'
Rin noticed and quickly appeared beside her, "Sister Isabella, don't overthink. In such times, people become unpredictable. If we were less powerful, we would have died instead."
"That's right," Erix said as he floated beside her. "But if you still feel that our decision was incorrect and you can't travel with us because of that, we won't force you."
Isabella sighed and shook her head. "I understand. It's just… This is all so extreme for me. I didn't think they would want to kill us for those treasure chests."
Rin side hugged Isabella and wryly smiled, "You have to get used to this, sister Isabella. Erix and I trust you, and I believe you also trust us. In such desperate times, the most important thing to have is people we can trust."
"True…" Serina muttered with a slight nod.
Others also instinctively nodded as Rin's words resonated deep in them. Surviving alone was a choice, but the chance of death was high, so it was always good to have people to whom they could entrust their back.
…
After a few minutes, four bodyguards went inside the mall, hoping to find first aid kits and other useful things since a sharp weapon fatally injured one bodyguard in his stomach.
They stopped his bleeding right after the fight, but that bodyguard hadn't regained consciousness yet.
Meanwhile, Rin gathered those orbs dropped from people with treasure chests.
Lena and Serina helped Toshin and put him inside the Gladiator Jeep since he couldn't walk with one leg and needed to rest.
Toshin needed treatment, which he hoped to get in the military base.
Erix's leg was also gone, but he had the means to fly because of his Metal Control skill, though he also hoped to find a way to regenerate his leg.
After the bodyguards returned with first aid kits, bandages, and water, they treated the injured bodyguard before treating Erix's and Toshin's legs.
"Alright, let's quickly continue the distribution of things and leave," Rin said as she went to touch the Cyan orb (Uncommon-grade).
The orb glowed before turning into a pair of thin pitch-black gloves.
