Point-of-View: Leto Nex/Reaper, The Undead King

———————————————————————————

"D-Don’t get too close to him, attack from a distance!"

"Die already, you damned bastard!"

I chuckled in amusement as a volley of Magical blasts came shooting in towards me from multiple directions, before leaping up and across towards a nearby building to my left.

Loud crashes rang out as the blasts collided against each other and erupted upon impact, as my feet thudded against the side of the building. I then kicked off the wall, deep cracks spreading out across it from the force exerted through my legs, as I launched myself straight towards some of the Hunters.

They frantically began to try and scatter, before several of them let out sharp gasps and clutched their chests as I triggered a burst of Death Rattle, the dark energy of death erupting across a twenty-five meter radius around me, several thuds echoing out as they collapsed onto the ground.

A couple of them were still standing, starting to desperately run away. I raced forward, catching up to them with ease, before whipping my Death Scythe across and slashing their backs, the two of them instantly dropping dead.

I glanced back as a few more Magical blasts came shooting towards me. I spun around and batted them away with ease using the blade of my Death Scythe, the Hunters flinching and shrinking back as a wide smirk spread out across my lips.

I chuckled as they began to retreat, cracking my neck with a tilt of my head before chasing after them, rapidly closing the gap and catching up to them. Yeah, I’d say my attack on this Sanctuary is off to a fantastic start.

I got done replenishing my forces yesterday, though I was only able to get two more Catastrophe Level Threats, both Omega Dragons. As luck would have it, I came across the pair of them mating at the foot of a volcano, snuck up on them and slashed them with my Death Scythe before they knew what was happening.

I wasn’t able to find any other Catastrophe Level Threats, but I’ve waited long enough, and my forces are plenty powerful as they are. I’ve got over a hundred Calamity Level Mutants, more than three hundred Critical Levels, and of the remaining five to six hundred, the majority are High Level Threats, with a handful of Mid Levels rounding out my numbers.

I summoned all one thousand of the undead Mutants I’d gathered, they’re scattered all around the Sanctuary. Most of the Mid Levels and a handful of the High Levels have been taken down already, though.

A few Critical Levels and a couple of Calamity Levels have also been eliminated. The Catastrophe Levels are all still intact, of course. I probably don’t have too long before the X-Aces show up, and I’d like to inflict as much damage, death and destruction as I possibly can before they get here!

Anyway, as I caught up to the Hunters I was chasing, I lunged forward and swung my scythe across, slicing through their backs and killing three of them, the edge of my blade missing two of them by a whisker.

One of them suddenly spun around, flames swirling around a short-sword in his hand, before he suddenly turned invisible. I felt a dull heat in my chest, as he drove the blade in, before I swiftly reached up and grabbed the middle of his forearm.

He reappeared back into sight with an agonized yell of pain as I broke his arm with a vicious twist, before gritting his teeth as he glared at me defiantly.

"Hah, that’s some look for someone who’s about to die," I smirked, as I raised my scythe, the edge of the blade millimeters away from the side of his neck.

"Go to hell, asshole," He scoffed, before suddenly spitting on my face.

I growled and tightened my grip on his arm, a sharp wince of pain ringing out, before I pulled him off his feet and whipped him around before swinging him down, slamming him against the ground over and over, the sound of his bones breaking echoing out as I repeatedly bashed him against the concrete like a fucking ragdoll.

Hm? Oh, he’s already dead.

I clicked my tongue in irritation as I flung his mangled corpse away, wiping my sleeve across my right cheek disdainfully. Fucking loser, should’ve just let me kill him quick and painlessly with my scythe instead of pissing me off. He asked for it, and he got what he deserved. Yeah, serves him the fuck right!

Now, then...seems my forces are making good progress. Think I’ll go find a clothing store and get some new outfits. Of the few I have, this is the only one that’s anywhere near intact, and it’s gotten seriously worn down. The rest of my outfits are practically rags at this point. Yeah, time for a quick shopping detour, I’ll-...

Suddenly, as I spotted something rapidly whizzing in towards me in my right peripheral, I began to turn across towards it, but I was too slow to react. The blur sliced through my neck and decapitated me, my head falling off and hitting the ground with a thud.

Was that water?

As I began to grow a new head, a strange smell filled the air, before igniting, triggering a powerful blast. My body got blown to pieces as the space surrounding me erupted with a fiery explosion, the disembodied pieces of my body flying out all around the blast zone.

As I regenerated from a chunk of my torso, I took out a pair of ragged black trousers from my Item Box and put them on, before looking around warily, wisps of smoke flowing around me from the blast. I spotted a gleam through the smoke in my right peripheral, before quickly springing back, grimacing as a shard of diamond sliced across the bridge of my nose.

That’s right, I remember now...during the trial, she mentioned that she lives in Sanctuary Delta.

"I know it’s you, you fucking science bitch! Get out here, Alkimia!" I snapped, as I sprinted in the direction that the shard came from.

I narrowed my eyes as I spotted an alley as the smoke began to clear, before I suddenly lost my footing as my legs suddenly dropped and sunk knee-deep into a gloopy puddle, a loud sizzle ringing out as I felt my legs rapidly getting melted down.

Tch, acid, huh? I’m gonna make that bitch regret her reincarnation once I catch her, I’ll make sure she dies cursing the fact that she was reborn in the same era as me...
