Kaboom

A certain black haired young man approaches a large town.

It's a beautiful day to take a stroll in the countryside, or a picnic. A lot of people are outside of the city walls.

Most places don't dare to be so bold to leisurely leave the city walls due to monsters.

Zeldris walks past many people. When someone happenes to lock eyes with him, they immediately look away. As if having seen something scary.

Zeldris has noticed his aura inspires terror in people. But he doesn't know why. Nor does he care. It's just an observation.

Soon enough, he arrives at the city gate.

The city gate is wide open and the guards aren't interested in stopping him at all. The guards are instead leisurely leaning on the piles of hay near the gate and enjoying the warm, summer breeze.

Entering the city, Zeldris sees tons of people out and about. The town itself is majestic. A medival type town, mostly made of white stone and wood. The houses look like they are designed with care and so do the streets.

This city must be a wealthy one. As it's very clean and pretty.

The people on the street also radiate with contentment. Telling a few things about how they are governed.

"Hmm..." Zeldris stops in the middle of the main street and makes observations.

Someone bumps into his shoulder and falls on the ground. Zeldris remains completely unmoved.

"Gah!" They even exlaim in pain, as they fall.

Zeldris looks at the guy. A fat man, who wears some nice clothes.

The fat man is looking at Zeldris in shock.

"What the hell are you made of?!" The fat man exclaims. He felt like bumping into a rock!

"Tell me, fat man. Where can I find clothes." This unexpected encounter, Zeldris intends to make use of it.

"What am I, a guide?..." *Slap* "Kuho!" Before the fat man can continue, Zeldris slaps him. Knocking many of his teeth out, including the fatty himself.

"So even this level if strength is too much for you people." Zeldris muses. He tried to control his strength enough to just give him a brisk slap. But this fatty is so weak...

Zeldris uncaringly walks away. Yet another unexpected encounter immediately stops him.

"Halt! Where are you going scoundrel!" A young man runs up to him. Making Zeldris completely confused.

'Who the hell is this guy?'

"You can't just leave when you've beaten someone up for no reason. You must take res..." *Poof*

*Boom*

This time Zeldris uses a bit more strength. He punches the man and the man vanishes in red mist. The punch was so strong that the air pressure destroyed a house further away.

And of course, all the people who were in between were killed as well...

""Kyaaa!"" Screams litter the area and people run away.

This incident happened right on the main street. Meaning hundreds of people, maybe even thousands, see what happened.

"Halt! You're under arrest!.." City guards appear as quickly as the random young man did.

"I came to shop, fuck off." Zeldris states in annoyance. Raising his hand towards the guards.

"Shield!" Their leader reacts immediately and screams. Some sort of barrier is erected, but ultimately it makes no difference.

"Hellfire." Zeldris mumbles in response. Then a stream of purple fire comes out from his hand and burns everything in it's path.

Zeldris doesn't even aim properly. Just throwing it out there.

With this single move of his, a massive portion of the town is gone. Around 20% of it just vanished instantly. Consumed by purple hellfire.

"Fuuh. Good thing I made an effort to hold back. The whole city would've disappeared... I can't have that. I came to get some clothes after all." Zeldris says. There is no one to listen though.

....

Meanwhile in the city lord's mansion.

A person is frantically running through the hall, yelling out. "THE CITY IS UNDER ATTACK!"

The town lord himself runs out of a room, dressed in a simple bathrobe, with his hair still soapy. "WHAT?!"

"Ah! City lord! A mysterious man appeared in town and started destroying everything!" The guy yells loudly, even though he's already in the city lords face.

"Shut up! Get me Aeriana and Trevor!" He punches the screaming guy and yells out. His voice echoes through the mansion.

The individuals called Aeriana and Trevor are both incredibly powerful existances, that have taken residence in the city. And thanks to many deals, they have become employed as the protectors of this city.

Soon enough, a blonde elven woman, of incredible beauty and a tall man with black hair appear in the house.

"City lord, what the hell is going on? I was just having a picnic with my wife and then a portion of the city disappeared." Trevor complains.

"What? Are you stupid?! Why didn't you go and stop it if you saw it happen?!?!" The elven beauty screams at the dim-witted man.

"Wait!! We don't have time to argue right now. You two are the most powerful people in the city and based on this mysterious man's actions, he rivals you two in power. I need you to go and assess his power. Worst case we will need to abandon the city." The town lord explains. Being very decisive.

In a world where one man can have the power to destroy everything, this kind of thing is always possible.

"Understood." The elf responds professionally.

"Alright." Meanwhile the man responds casually. Earning a glare from the woman.

Aeriana and Trevor quickly wear their battle gear and depart.

Both of them are swordsmen, but where Aeriana uses thin swords, that are meant for stabbing. Trevor uses a greatsword, meant for destruction.

The two quickly arrive at the scene and track down the culprit. Finding him inside a designer clothes store, trying on new clothes.

"What goes together well with this?" Zeldris asks the store clerk. Who's nervously tending to him.

We're it not for the anxious clerk, this would look like a normal scene of shopping.

"Hey you!" Aeriana calls out. Prompting Zeldris to slowly turn his gaze to her. His eyes showing a hint of desire at her immaculate elven beauty.

"Hey to you too. Did you come to shop as well." Zeldris asks, already knowing why the two are here. He can feel two's power eclipse everything else in this city.

"Who are you?" Aeriana asks. Doing the talking. While Trevor gazes at Zeldris warily.

"My name is Zeldris..." He speaks and jumps down from the small podium. His jacket is open at the front, exposing his ripped physique. Walking closer to Aeriana with slow, controlled steps.

"...But, who are you?" Once he reaches in front of her, Zeldris throws the question back.

Aeriana takes a beat to admire the young man in front of her. This level of handsomeness is rare.

"My name is Aeriana and I'm the protector of this city. Do you understand now, why I'm here..."

Her words have the implied meaning to not make a fuss and surrender quietly. It's just that Zeldris doesn't care at all about her little title or whatever rules she's trying to enforce.

"Hmm..." Instead of saying anything, Zeldris puts a hand to his chin, steps closer and lowers himself to the elfs eye level. Staring straight into her eyes. The elf is startled by this and even jumps a bit.

Zeldris smirks. "Do you drink coffee?"

"...What?" It takes a moment for Aeriana to compute his random question.

"I want to take you out for a date. Are you free right now?" Zeldris stands up straight and asks. While looking at her.

Aeriana is completely confused.

She came here to stop or assess someone who wiped out half the town. Now she's getting asked out by the man himself.

"I... What are you even asking..." She's at a loss for words.

"I understand it's an honour for you, but please pick your jaw off the floor. It's a bit embarrassing." Zeldris smiles. Teasing her a bit.

"What the hell are you even saying! You murdered hundreds of people and now act like nothing happened?!" Aeriana finally explodes. Shouting at Zeldris.

"I did?!" Zeldris exclaims. A truly shocked expression on his face.

"What?!" Aeriana says her favourite word once again. This time with a mix of anger and confusion.

'Wasn't it this guy who did it?..' Aeriana thinks.

Zeldris starts laughing his ass off very loudly. Something he picked up from his master.

Realising she's been tricked, veins pop on Aeriana's head and she goes off the rails.

"You fucking animal! How dare you mock me!!!" She draws her blade and immediately attempts to stab Zeldris.

This single move suprises not only Zeldris, but also Trevor who was quietly spectating.

Zeldris reacts instantly and deflects the rapier with his bare hand. Then punches the woman with his full strength.

*BOOOOOOOOO*

The sheer magnitude of his punch is hard to imagine. It not only destroys the entire town around him, but the direction of his punch is completely destroyed for tens of kilometers.

It's as if a nuclear bomb went off.

Zeldris is left standing in a crater. The heat in here is so overbearing, that the air vibrates like it's going to break.

Everything in his immediate vicinity was atomized. He really wasn't holding back...

Zeldris doesn't have a building nor person in sight. He looks down, seeing his clothes completely destroyed.

He's standing naked in a hole...

"Hmm..." He feels like he overreacted a bit.

Initially he wasn't going to punch her that hard, but he really wanted to see what happenes if he does.

So he punched her as hard as he could...

What a way to treat a woman...
