Chapter 3: Max rants 2
In the garden…
Lance turned back and sensed everywhere within the compound, with half of his sensory organs still intact. Sensing the location where max was, he tried to move, but the moment he took a step, the instructor that got his eyes removed every limit on his body and ki system to deal one attack. Moving faster than one's dynamic vision can perceive, he dashed towards the half-gaeste, delivering a palm strike.
Lance quickly reacted, sacrificing his ki to resist the attack, but the ability was weaker after damage and sustained use in a short period.
The collision tore apart the air, creating a shocking wave that blew every blade of grass that was in the garden.
Liquefying all of lance's organs, tearing apart the cells, and slowing down cell division instantly. Lance spits out blood and tries to hang on to the scarce time he has to ask a question.
"Why did you do all this to a brat? You have friends and family! The Elliotts are not yours! You are barely above strangers! You could have walked away and no one would be the wiser! is it money? We could have given you money!" angrily screamed Lance as tears flowed down his eyes at his impending death.
The instructor smiled and said, "If everyone did as you did, then we wouldn't have any adventurers."
"You may have human in you, but you've long turned into a beast. Betraying your own kind to another species is the worst decision you have ever made."
"But you didn't ask for this; you were born and raised to serve your cause."
And I won't judge, just as I hope you won't judge me in whatever realm you go after death.
"Let the living worry about that kind of stuff; dead men should stay dead."
The instructor said while spitting out blood after giving most of his life force into that.
Lance kept silent and asked, "What is your name?"
The "instructor" then simply said, "My name is Cedric Rogers," and smoke flew from his body after overheating the cells' life force and its lack thereof.
Multiple internal burns, loss of eyesight, rupturing of the eyes, ruptured vessels, muscles disconnected from bones, multiple organs missing after outbreak, severe concussion
Cedric Rogers, K.I.A.
Lance Volvos K.I.A.
instructors from Elliot K.I.A.
~~Residence (mansion)
As the spies were fighting, Max took out a red leaf and ate it.
This leaf was the key ingredient in making a healing elixir. Like healing potions in games made by the alchemist during the era of change, the alchemist found out that materials from monsters mix well with the periodic elements. Leading to all new kinds of potions like strength elixir, fire resistance elixir, mind acceleration elixir, and body deformation elixir.
"The technological route of this world is branching out to a magic or cultivation route, though there's not much difference between them except a mage focuses more on the energy within themselves and a cultivator focuses on the energy the universe has. I wonder if I can make a robot that can cultivate?"
"But on more important issues at hand."
"Like my life."
"It seems like I go off track during life-and-death situations."
"I would train diligence if I ever survive this."
"No, when I survive this."
"Eating the leaf raw would reduce its efficiency, but it would be enough for now."
"After I heal, I will decapitate these traitors, hang their heads on the walls, spread their limbs, and stake their corpses to the ground. Their corpses will serve as a reminder to both friends and enemies," thought Max angrily and in pain.
10 minutes later
The sounds of battle reduced the defenders' advantage. Max fully healed sprung out.
Grabbing a traitor's head and slamming it to the ground and stabbing a blade through their back, then throwing the body to another.
"Huh, why is that brat is so strong.." Thought Spy 2.
Spy 2 tried to remove the body. But when he did, Max threw a knife at their lower ends. Then he jumped on them and stabbed a blade through their ears.
"2 down," thought max
Then he fell off and rolled to another. Spy 3 tried to decapitate Max's head, but to the height difference, Max crouched. Punched spy 3 in the abdomen and used a knife hand to slit his throat, which spy 3 responded to by kicking him away.
"That was a hard kick. Did you rehearse that, you weakling?" angrily said Max as he spit out blood.
Spy 3 walked forward, but Max picked up a blade from spy 2's dead body and dashed and sliced spy 3's eyes and stabbed them right. And spy 3 picked out a blade and thrust it at maximum speed, narrowly missing but delivering a deep wound.
"I almost died," panicked max.
Running forward, max slid and cut down spy 3,
Max then leaped backwards and went into hiding. And looked for chances to kill the other traitors using hit-and-run tactics to keep them on their toes and exhaust their stamina, throwing stones and dust to blind and distract, and using disguises to deceive the spies. Exhausted and bruised. Max stubbornly defended his home.
Soon, the battle was over.
The smell of blood and dust permeated the corridors. With workers looking lifeless or just being without life, sadness crept like a shadow.
Regardless of the result,
They won the battle.
Or was it?
In another universe
A little hole suddenly opened up in space, but as it expanded, a man stretched his hand and clamped on it.
The hole vanished into the void.
In a very close realm
Another hole tried to form, only for it to get torn apart by the location it appeared in.
