I Am Not A Hero
"Good… Good… If I kill you here, everyone in this God damn city will know my name." The hooded man's eyes blazed with ambition as a bright white energy surged from his hands and numerous daggers hidden away in his pockets and utility belt flew out.
Meanwhile, the chains wrapped around the arm of the Goth girl loosened, they lit up in black flames while slithering in the wind like serpents.
"Street Hood gang, made of three C-rated villains. They are responsible for the death of over ten people in the residential district and have robbed over thirty homes, injuring not less than fifty people." Lucius said as he let go of the girl and walked forward.
"I didn't come here to beat you up and hand you over to the police. I'm here to take your lives." Lucius said as he planted his foot on the ground, causing it to quake lightly.
Rumble!
'How heavy is this kid?' the hooded man frowned.
Buzz!
"Lucius!" the girl cried out in panic as the burly man abruptly sprang to his feet behind Lucius.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently as chunks of earth shot out of the ground, attaching to Rocky's body like plates of armor. In a mere second, the six feet tall man was close to seven feet tall, driving his arm down with immense speed and power.
Thud!
Lucius took a slight step to the side without even looking back, shifting the target of the attack from his head to his shoulders. His hands moved like lighting, grabbing the massive descending rock fist with both hands, utilizing Rocky's force against him.
Swish!
Right before everyone's eyes, Rocky was picked off the ground and flipped him!
Bang!
Rocky hit the ground hard, but those watching felt the pain more than he did. They watched the boy, who wasn't even up to six feet tall, flip a seven feet tall monster like it was nothing.
"Now… Die." Lucius said coldly as he raised his arm like a blade, ready to stab into the skull of the rock monster and crush its brain.
Swish!
Suddenly, blazing black chains shot forward, wrapping around Lucius, binding him.
"You let your guard down!" The Goth girl laughed as she tightened her grip on her chains, causing black fire to erupt around Lucius, completely consuming him.
"Lucius!" The girl behind screamed and wanted to run forward, but she was frozen by Lucius's voice, which was void of pain.
"You are too loud. Just stand there and let me deal with these weaklings." Lucius's voice resonated from the scorching black column of fire.
"How?" The Goth girl and the hooded man were shaken.
Bang!
The girl felt a forceful power erupt within the column of flames, shattering her chains. The black flames were blown away by a strong gust of wind, Lucius's bronze-colored skin, dazzling under the moonlight, his eyes completely unimpressed by the attempt to kill him.
Statue Martial Technique: Bronze statue!
"I didn't let my guard down. I simply never needed to be on guard when dealing with weaklings." Lucius sneered.
Thud!
The Goth Girl and the Hooded man took a step back in fright, they never expected the fight to turn out this way.
"You three are extremely weak, barely able to be considered D-rated. You only raised your ratings by preying on weak, defenseless citizens. Unfortunately, I am not weak." Lucius hissed.
Buzz!
"Die!!!!" Rocky sprang to his feet and threw a powerful right hand.
BOOM!
Lucius just stood there like an immovable wall, as the punch hit, creating a massive shockwave, but it had zero effect on him.
"You have done enough… Die" Lucius sneered as he slapped the hand away as if it were that of a child and moved forward.
Buzz!
Lucius's figure moved like the wind, reaching Rocky before he could take a step back. His hand was like a blade, surging with fierce Qi power as it stabbed forward!
Lotus Blossom Strike!
BANG!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Slowly the chunks of earth, reinforcing Rocky's body, began to fall apart revealing his true body, blood ran down his lips while his eyes were wide open with shock as he looked at Lucius's hand which was lodged deep in his heart.
"H-heroes a-are not m-meant t-to k-kill…" Rocky stuttered weakly.
"I am not a hero. I am Justice…" Lucius snarled before pulling out his hand,
Bam!
Rocky fell to the ground, dead!
"H-he killed him… He really killed him." The Goth girl stuttered.
She instantly turned around, in an attempt to flee, but she felt a cold wind brush against her skin, causing her to shiver.
BOOM!
Lucius grabbed her head and smashed it into the ground, leaving behind a mixture of blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
"Never turn your back on an enemy. That is the first rule of combat." Lucius said in a frosty tone.
"BASTARD!" the hooded man sprang forward with numerous blades twirling around him.
BUZZ!
Lucius' body moved like a beam, his hand stabbing into the man's chest and pulling out his heart from behind. The blades all lost their power, falling to the ground, while the man's blood flowed down Lucius's bronze skin.
"I don't remember giving you the permission to speak!" Lucius snorted disdainfully before flinging the corpse away and crushing the heart.
"Even if I had the chance, I wouldn't bother consuming the hearts of low-level fools like you three." He muttered under his breath.
Meanwhile, the girl who observed the brutal deaths of the three was deadly pale and her hands were placed over her lips as if she was about to throw up. Watching Lucius slaughter these people did not give off a heroic vibe, it just felt like a villain killing other villains.
It felt like she was gazing at a monster!
