Chapter 2001: Reliving the Nightmare of the Camp (Part 2)
…
Clang! Clang!
Bang!
Andras and Feng were sent flying right after yet another powerful clash against Uno, who remained indifferent since the start of the battle.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
The two swiftly tried to regain their footing as fast as they could right after their feet touched the ground. Unfortunately, they were not fast enough since Uno had killed yet another one from their group.
Wearing solemn looks on their faces, the two started to recall the nightmares that always happened during examination trials within their camp.
Staring at Uno, who just pulled the spear piercing the heart of the executioner that he had just taken out, Andras started to realize how foolish it was to think that they would be able to deal with this monster with the little bit of force that they had.
He was confident earlier since they had gotten their hands on the special drug that the new professor of the organization had. They had already experienced the effects of these drugs when they were hunting some of the elite units of the government and other organizations.
They could even fight those with people with a realm higher than them.
Adding that all of them consumed these newly improved drugs, they should be able to take down even the so-called geniuses of the aristocratic and military families.
They were not even afraid of facing someone at the level of the Junior Monsters of the Souring Continent or the Young Ghosts of the Lost Soul Continent, much less someone who was in the same realm as them.
But who would have thought that they would lose most of their forces even with all these advantages?
Among their more than a dozen people, there were only left with five people left. Aside from Andras and Feng, who were the strongest among the group, there was only a sword-wielding executioner, a spear-wielding one, and someone with chained sickles.
Aside from them, everyone else had died one after another.
What made it worse was that Uno had never used any advanced technique when dealing with them. Aside from a simple and basic set of moments, he had only shown them his high-level control of Natural Force.
Moreover, they had never forced him to use more than a bit of his power.
Every time he attacked, he only used a hint of his unique Natural Forces, which could easily break through theirs.
The difference in level was so overwhelming that it made them look like a bunch of useless cannon fodder.
They were supposed to be a group of elites, the young executioners of the notorious Black Serpent Mafia.
Right after they graduated from the training camp, they were supposed to be scattered in every corner of the world and become undercover agents planted in every organization.
They were supposed to live a ’regular’ life without caring about any missions. They were supposed to only move as executioners when the organization had given them a special assignment, targeting a specific individual, who was mostly a traitor of the organization.
There were also occasions when they were sent to assassinate individuals who could be a hindrance to the organization’s plans.
As their titles suggested, they were the hidden blades of the Black Serpent Mafia, who killed their targets without mercy.
However, no matter how fancy or scary their titles were, they were nothing but a bunch of nobodies before this monster in front of them.
While Andras was having a wake-up call, Feng was more focused on another matter, which was much scarier than what others had realized.
Since the very beginning, Uno had never left the spot where he was not.
If he were to draw a circle on the ground, then Feng would find Uno standing at the center of this circle with a radius of two meters.
This further proved that Uno had never taken them seriously since the very beginning.
Aside from that, Feng had also noticed that Uno had never truly looked at them during the entire battle. Instead, he kept on sweeping his eyes in the surroundings, seemingly looking for something.
It might be obvious that they were only trying to buy time for the main force to arrive. But Feng could tell that Uno was purposely playing with them. It was as if he were purposely waiting for their reinforcements to arrive.
While they were busy dwelling with their respective thoughts, this remaining bunch of young executioners suddenly heard Uno’s bored voice.
“This won’t do. They are so slow that I am getting bored. I guess it is better to clean this place before waiting for them, no?”
Andras was about to snarl back when he heard those words, when he felt that the surroundings suddenly turned dark.
Boom!
He was unsure what had happened, but he felt that his entire body had suddenly frozen, while his vision had slowly darkened.
It was as if the sky suddenly turned dark for the night to fall.
Feng subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hands while his body started trembling out of control.
The other three executioners had it worse. They started losing control of their bodies and fell on the ground, choking from the pressure. They did not even last that long before passing out from the immense bloodlust that they were feeling.
Uno casually raised the spear in his hands and lightly tapped his shoulder with it. He looked at the five young executioners with a slightly amused look while they were struggling to keep their ground.
Andras and Feng tried their best to stay standing, doing their best not to end up just like the other three.
“What a scary killing intent,” mumbled Feng, realizing the massive gap between them and this monster – no, the latter was more like a demon at this point.
From his perspective, he was seeing a boundless sea that could drown him at any moment.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary sea either, but a sea of blood filled with countless skeletal remains floating on its surface.
There was also a crimson sky above them.
Such a sight seemed to be telling him that the end of the world was near. It was as if the great apocalypse had arrived!
“Such a powerful mental suppression!” Feng was doing his best to protect his mind from the great mental pressure that Uno’s killing intent was releasing.
Feng felt that those Death Instructors in the camp were the scariest people that he would see. After all, those people had killed countless people and slaughtered myriad monsters in their lives, which made their presence no different from death itself.
Just standing before them was suffocating enough due to the killing intent that they were passively emitting.
However, such puny killing intent was nothing before Uno. Instead, theirs looked more like a tiny drop within this boundless sea of blood.
If they were death itself, then this person was the Death God who ruled over them.
Andras was about to lose his strength as well when Feng suddenly burst out with a very strong power.
Boom!
Gritting his teeth, Feng forcefully fought against the terrifying killing intent that the opposing side was emitting, saving Andras as well.
Andras tried to gasp for as much as he could, trying to do something as well. But when he realized that it was not doing anything, he swiftly took out a black pill from his pocket and immediately swallowed it.
“Argh!”
The effects were almost instantaneous as his body immediately burst out with power, along with a dark miasma coming out from his pores.
Boom!
Uno did not do anything and just let them do whatever while also observing the changes that they were making.
There was an interested look on his face, especially after seeing those pills that they had consumed.
He was not sure yet, but he felt a familiar feeling coming from them – or more specifically, those pills that they had taken.
“It is neither an Evil Qi nor Demonic Power,” he mumbled as he slightly squinted his eyes.
A moment later, something crossed his mind, and he started smirking. “Origin? It looks like some lunatic has really done it now, huh?”
He could already imagine what was happening on the other side, where the said lunatic was conducting whatever research was taking place.
“No wonder, the Madam and your anomaly of a father are quite in a rush. This world has truly become such a mess,” he mumbled, seemingly talking to Shin, who was watching everything from inside his Sea of Consciousness.
[What do you mean by that?] Shin asked, not understanding what Uno was trying to say.
He could somewhat guess what the ’Origin’ meant. But the rest seemed to be quite vague for him, especially when Uno mentioned his parents.
“You will learn about it soon,” Uno did not directly answer Shin or give any hint.
Moreover, he was more interested in Andras and Feng right now, who were under the effects of the special drug that they had just taken.
“Tapping on the forbidden realm? Let’s see how much you can imitate,” he said while throwing the spear to the side.
It seemed like he was still not planning to use a proper weapon to fight the two.
