Chapter 199 - Killing Machine
As the fight continued, blood puddled, feces rolled, limbs scattered, and bodies fell. It was a gory scene. Kadyn, who had seen all kinds of gruesome scenes, had also felt the urge to throw up, but suppressed the nausea. Elora, however, couldn't hold herself and puked.
Sylvia supported her and then sent a green light from her hand. Elora felt a calm sensation inside her body and head and then felt the urge to sleep, and then closed her eyes in Sylvia's hands.
She turned towards Kadyn who shook his head. "I'm good," he said.
He looked at his sister and felt a strange feeling inside his heart. How did his parents become super powerful? He had the urge to ask his mother. However, it wasn't a time, nor a place. Since, now, they had united he would have plenty of time to ask about their experience. What kind of encounter could make someone as powerful as his parents?
"Boom!"
They turned towards Darius and found him crushing the head of the last man. The lich that one of the men had summoned turned into nothing but broken pieces of bones. Another man had summoned a beast of unknown origin, now, had also been lying at the corner. All of its limbs were torn apart from its body.
The blood pooled around Darius. It was a gruesome, scary, ugly scene to look at. Brain scattered about, eyes open, horror written over their face. Some of them even looked confused. Though the blood and feces scattered all about him, not a single stain could be seen on his body.
He turned towards the trio, and a smile appeared on his face. It was a relaxed smile, if it was somewhere else. He didn't look as if he had slaughtered a group of people just now. He looked more like a butcher, who had killed a goat and now he was expecting a customer.
Kadyn felt like an alien; just now he realized that he never knew about his parents. Not him, nor his predecessor. He felt fear. Fear that they would know the truth that he was not their son. Fear of losing family; fear of losing his loved ones almost overwhelmed his heart with anxiety.
Suddenly a shadow flashed and arrived in front of Kadyn, Elora and Sylvia. "You dare to kill my people. I will kill your loved ones. You'll regret what you did!"
Kadyn eyed the man with mouth agape. A savage-looking man appeared in front of them. He had yellow teeth, but what was shocking was that his face was completely wrinkleless. It was hard to believe that he was the same old man who looked half-dead. Now, his body looked robust, nimble and his eyes shone with glittering light.
Kadyn assumed that he was also using some kind of shape-shifting spell, but he had better control of his power than others. Furthermore, he was definitely stronger than all the people Darius had fought previously.
The Valley Lord turned towards Sylvia and grinned dangerously. He was confident that everything was under his control. Though he said that he was going to make Darius regret what he did, he was just trying to capture Sylvia and others, so he could pressure open a road for his escape. After all what Darius did to his people, he realized that there was no way he could fight him honorably.
Darius, however, showed no sign of panic. His face was nonchalant as if looking at a fly buzzing around.
"A bad move," he muttered and shook his head.
The man extended his hand, trying to grab Sylvia through her throat.
"Be careful!" Kadyn shouted when he came back to his senses. The speed of this geezer had become far greater than before. Kadyn's heart came to his throat. He wanted to rush and stop the man, but he could not reach. Once more he felt how weak he was. He clenched his teeth and screamed.
However, just then a green light flashed over her body and she waved her hand at the man.
"Slap!"
A sound echoed, sending the old man towards the bloody ground. The blood splashed as his body rolled on the slippery ground. He roared and sprang from the ground, his face was covered in blood; though Kadyn could not tell if it was his blood or the blood of his people. He was having a hard time believing what had just happened. His mother had punched rank 6 mage like a sack of rice.
"You really are thick headed, old man," Darius shook his head. Then walked towards the man. However, at this moment, the man rushed into another direction. He didn't even look back.
Kadyn opened his mouth wide. Shocked at his cowardly escape. The old man acted so mysterious and powerful, but this was the result. For real.
"Trying to escape, huh?" said Darius and shook his head disappointedly. Not expecting such a turn of event. He waved his hand once more. Similar to before cyan threads started to spread from his claw and rushed behind the sprinter and then shackled him.
He tried to struggle out of his shackles. He punched all around him. He screamed. But after everything failed he stopped.
"What are you?" he said to Darius hatefully. "How could someone as strong as you exist in this world? Even the leader of the World Magic Assembly isn't this strong. Who are you?"
"None of your fucking business."
"You…" the old man almost choked, hearing such a flat reply. He glared at Darius, but didn't know what to say. He was completely speechless and then shouted, "Let me go!"
"Sure," said Darius and the man burst into a bloody mist, pieces of meat and brain and feces fell on the ground, painting the ground red.
"No bulshit," Kadyn muttered. He thought, at least, his father would give him a chance to speak, but he was killed just like any roadside gangster.
"Let's go," Sylvia said.. "Your friends are waiting outside."
