The Legacy System

Chapter 667: Squashing the 2nd Resurgence

"You damned Tyrant, what do you mean by your rules and your place!? We have all been living and contributing to this 'Nightless Stone City' until now!

It has always been us who would go and hunt for food, it has always been us who clean the streets, and it has always been us who have made sure to live in a community!

Wake up!

This place belongs to each and every one of us, not only to you! Your only contribution would be finding this place first, and for that, we have been willing to let you lead until now, but not anymore!

We want our human rights!"

Since these guys had come with the intention of taking over his 'Nightless Stone City' it would be weird if they didn't have this much oratory skills, right?

"Hehehehe~! Hearing you speak like that, truly makes me look like a monster, like a Tyrant instead of a hero who saved your pathetic lives and gave you a place to live!

Well, whatever makes you guys sleep at night!

It's just that you have failed to understand something really important, every Tyrant rules with an iron fist, what makes you think that I will not!?

What makes you think that your families, your people will be safe after you stand up against me and my ruling!?"

The moment that those words sounded out throughout the whole place a sudden and scary quietness conquered the place.

It was true, none of them had ever thought of that happening. They only knew that they had joined the crowd with the enticement of more power and more rights, forgetting about possible consequences.

Now that the cold water came crashing on their heads, they couldn't help but cower for a moment and stare into the void.

"Tyrant don't you dare scare us! What could a lone man do against an army of people asking for their rights!?

What kind of tyrant has ever been able to win against the truth, against the right!?

You can threaten and kill one of us, ten of us, but what about 100, what about 1000, and what about 10.000 of us!?"

"That's right! That's right!

Furthermore, we aren't doing this only for ourselves, we are doing this for our children as well, we are doing this for our little ones!

We are doing this for the Future!"

Of course, there were those guys who had no families in this place, and those that wanted to take Eric down at all costs, thinking about their future and their benefits.

Those guys still kept blowing the fire up, willing to even sell their souls to the devil just to have what 'belonged' to them.

The undecided crowd seemed to regain strength, composure, and vitality as their eyes seemed a bit more decided to go forward.

"Good! Good! Good!

I would be disappointed if you weren't this decided, this just makes whatever happens next even more satisfying for me!"

Hearing their screams of justice and righteousness, Eric seemed to get a bit mad, as he continuously said with an ominous voice good three times, before he continued,

"Well since you want freedom this much, then why don't I just give you what you want!"

"Tyrant! Take him down!"

"Tyrant! Usurper!"

As Eric's words sounded, there were a lot of angry and wrathful screams coming from the crowd, wanting to drown whatever he had said in spit and spite.

"What!?"

The moment that they understood what Eric had just blurted out though they all couldn't help but have a dumbfounded look on their faces, not understanding what Eric had just said.

The crowd started to look at those guys weirdly as well. After all, it didn't seem any longer like these guys, or whatever shit they sprouted out of their mouths was trustworthy.

As if not hearing what these guys said, Eric just looked at the whole crowd that was standing in front of him with a look of mockery and despise as he waved his left hand in a sweeping manner.

"Take the trash out!"

The moment that the last of his words sounded out, the whole crowd in front of him felt like they were staring death in the eyes, as they felt something wrap around their necks and pull them away.

For the spectators that didn't take part in this whole ordeal, this was nothing more than a horrifying spectacle.

Cables and ropes of special alloy seemed to have come to life with their goals clear, as they wrapped around the necks of the people in the crowd and pulled them outside.

What made everything weirder, was the fact that the cables didn't seem to have any intention of killing their targets, just pulling them away in the most humiliating manner.

Of course, the people in the crowd tried to resist whatever the hell was happening around them, trying to make their stand, unfortunately, they couldn't even use a shred of their strength and power.

Each and everyone one of them could actually feel their strength leaving their bodies if they concentrated a little bit, which made them even more frightened and terrified.

At this moment in time, they would most probably wish for nothing more than to return time by just a few seconds, repent, and fall on their knees in front of Eric, unfortunately, it wasn't possible any longer.

"No, no, no, no, nonononono~! Ple-please nooooo~!" xmany

Such screams were spreading through the whole of Nightless Stone City, just like some sort of wide-spreading virus. Yet, it seemed to be ineffective, and nothing seemed to happen.

The only effect those screams had, was to congratulate those that didn't take part in this bullshit resurgence and reassure them to never do something this stupid.

"This better be a warning to all of them that have any stupid thoughts of standing against me, or my position!

I have no intention of making things look more beautiful than they are, I want each and every one of you to understand that I am not your selected leader but your benefactor, your owner.

If you want to live in this place then you better obey each and every one of my orders, otherwise, death will be the least of your worries."

With that said he took a good look at the surroundings before he notified another piece of news,

"From now on, if there is anyone that wants to leave this Nightless Stone City then you can do so without anything or anyone impeding you!

But whether you will be able to return will depend on your luck and fate! I hope that you won't make a choice you will regret!"

The whole crowd was looking at his face, his figure, and his countenance trying to find any signs that could affirm or negate what he just said, but Eric looked and was extremely serious.

A lot had changed after 10 years, the outside world was nothing like what it was previously, and if these people thought that they would return to freedom outside, they were heavily mistaken.

While most of these people had heard from the recent additions what had happened outside, they hadn't lived it by themselves, so they had no idea whether to believe them or not.

Still, faced with the choice between a calm and peaceful life inside this place, and a scary survival in the outside world, it wasn't a wonder what they would choose.

Even some hot-blooded youngsters that wanted to try the outside world, weren't able to make a step forward as their families blocked their path.

City had been squashed, this time it had been a bloodless solution, something that had surprised the 'old' guard.

Just like that, the second Resurgence inside the Nightless Stone City had been squashed, this time it had been a bloodless solution, something that had surprised the 'old' guard.

…

Of course, while this looked like a more peaceful solution to the resurgence, the truth was that it was a much more ruthless punishment.

Most probably this was the first time in history that giving freedom to someone was even more terrifying than killing them.

Each and every one of the people in the crowd had been completely 'wasted' of whatever energy and power they had gathered all this while, and then thrown outside of the 'sealed dimension'.

By the time they managed to wake up from the terror of what had just happened, they were on the seashore, with many roaring vehicles coming towards them.

The guys in those vehicles seemed really excited as they kept firing with their guns, and kept screaming at the top of their lungs, as they couldn't believe their luck.

It didn't happen every day to have the ocean bring you expensive and luxurious gifts…
