210 chapter 11

"Captain, did you happen to hear something over that little corner over there?" one man questioned the man who was holding a binocular as his forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat, the voice that came from nowhere surprised them and made the hair on the back of their neck erected, the voice that they heard was creepy and cold, the more sensitive members on their team could also felt the slight hint of bloodlust from the voice as well.

"You didn't hear it wrong, I too- heard that voice… don't tell me that we're all going coo-coo from long hours of stresses," he confirmed the man that he too, heard of the voice.

From Leonard point of view.

He was staring at the group of men intensively after he spooked them when he decided to use his voice while in the cloaking function of the Nano Battle Armor.

Needless to say, the reaction he got was quite decent- however something decided to ruin his fun, it was the man with a large sniper rifle, he noticed that it look like one of those infamous sniper rifles from his old Earth, but albeit this one was modified to the extreme, a modified Barrett M82A12- this thing almost made him drooled.

"No wonder shit hurt when I get "scratched" by that fucking bullet…" he thoughted.

However, it was the man that attracted his attention more than the sniper rifle.

From his standpoint, he noticed that the man was acting quite strange to his presence, he was staring straight at Leonard- who were still within the cloak of invisibility, from his eyes, Leonard could tell that he treated Leonard as if he were standing in the presence of an apex predator who was toying with its prey, he doesn't see to make out Leonard appearance just yet- judging that he tried to squint and make out his appearances.

"Be careful everyone, there's something in front of you! I can't quite sure what it is yet- however, whatever the hell that is, it is very dangerous…" he warned the group.

As the man with the sniper warned them, one of the other from the group was stupid enough to pull out a pistol and aimed at the spot where he had heard of Leonard voice.

"Don't!-" the sniper, upon seeing this reaction quickly shouted at the dumb fool, however, it was too late, the moment he pulled out that pistol and aimed it, his arm has already been twisted into an awkward position.

"...your...arm…" the other noticed the arm that was holding the pistol.

"AHHHHH!!!!" he screamed in agony from the pain as his brain finally registered what just happened, it was then that they heard another snapping sound, the sound of bone being crunched and snap like that of a twig.

"WHYY!!!! MY LEG!!!" he screamed again as it was the leg that mysteriously snapped this time.

"What the hell is going on?!" they cried and once again, pulled out more guns and formed a circle with their back facing one another.

"Keep your vigilant." the captain ordered as he focuses his attention onto the surrounding.

Leonard who was still invisible while standing beside the victim whose limbs had been snapped by him and was currently crying on the ground quietly looked at the group of soldiers and their act of vigilant in amusement. He slowly advanced toward the group of people with a smirk on his face. *bang *bang *bang *bang! However, unexpectedly the sniper of the group noticed his presence and began to unload the clip from his pistol toward his direction which made him dodged them out of reflex.

"He's over there!" the sniper shouted at the direction of which Leonard dodged to and immediately they all began to barrage at his direction.

"Is it dead yet?" one of them asked as the dust slowly settled down.

"I think he's---" just when another wanted to confirm that Leonard was "dead" he suddenly felt an intense impact on his side as if a fist with the force of a moving truck had slammed on him sending him and along a couple of his comrade flying.

The unlucky one was unfortunate enough to be flying off the railing and went straight down toward the concrete below and died a miserable death.

*bang! Leonard felt a little punch on the side of his shoulder.

The punch was from a pistol bullet- which promptly then deactivated his cloaking function and revealed him to the entire group of men.

"Lucky shot…" he commented at the one who shot that bullet onto his shoulder.

It was the sniper that shot him with his pistol.

"What...the...hell...are you?!" the captain looked at the visage of Leonard in horror as his body was completely encased in steel and face covered with a mask of a vicious beast that bared its fangs at them, the visage of wanting to rip them into pieces.

"You don't remember me? I mean...I'm the one who you tried to splatter my brain onto the pavement just a few moments ago." Leonard tone was full of sarcasm as he glanced at the sniper who shot him.

The moment they heard Leonard words, cold sweat broke out and the feeling of intense dread began to wash over them as they comprehend his words.

"How is this even possible?! That bullet was shot roughly fifteen minutes ago and I swore that they ran into an alleyway and escaped, how could he get here so fast without us noticing...him…" the captain thought was cut off as he realized how Leonard has caught them off-guard.

"Yeah...crap…" he cursed under his breath as he had now realized it.

"So what are you going to do now? You know- we're still outnumbered you by quite a few rights? We have guns and you don't." the captain looked at him with serious eyes as he was pointing a pistol at Leonard.

"You do realize that those type of low caliber weapons will not do any harm to me, but instead it will likely enrage me further...you do realize that fact right?" Leonard pointed out quite an obvious fact to the group of militant.

But then he heard a clank and felt a bit of an impact on his forehead.

The sound of a bullet bouncing off of the metal plating.

"...you people are really stupid...you know that?" Leonard couldn't help but let out a long sigh and commenced them on their stupidity to take heed of the warning.

"We got to try something, you know? I mean- you did take out half of my squad if I didn't try to put a bullet on your forehead, it wouldn't do any of them any justice now would it?" the captain forwarded back to Leonard with his own sarcasm.

"Huh? So people of this world do have a sense of humor, after all, here I thought I was the only one." Leonard clapped his hand excitedly as he heard what the captain said.

"A lot of people does have a good sense of humor- it just no one used it nowadays as...well you already know, but shit happened." he glanced toward the horizon which littered with ruins and destruction left to them by the people of the past.

"Alright, I will give you all a chance, surrender now and drop your weapons and I will spare you from having to experience what kind of pain I distribute out… trust me when I say that- I have a hundred way for you to beg for death, once the pain commenced." Leonard tone dropped down to the freezing level and began to radiate his bloodthirsty aura and crushed the group of militant as he finished his words of offering.

The moment they felt the aura descended onto them, most dropped their weapon and fell to their knee and began to greedily take in oxygen as the pressure was trying to suffocate them from their life source.

Emphasis on the word most- as there was still one or two who resisted his pressure with their sheer willpower and point their gun at Leonard and was about to pull the trigger.

*splat- the world was dyed red, blood and brain matter splattered all over the top of the bell tower when they realized what just happened- their comrade, the one who just pointed the gun at Leonard and seemingly "pulled" the trigger, his head exploded.

"I'm not joking you know… I ended it quickly for him because this one managed to resist a fraction of my power… else he would have suffered the fate of being shredded to pieces by my pets or having his body being grinded up from the toe up to his neck." blood dripped from Leonard fist as he finished those words and glanced onto the group of militant who was on four limbs, groveling below him like animals.

"He's strong...very strong…" they all looked at him with eyes filled with intense dread.

"I...surrender…please...spare me!" a weak-willed individual finally gave in as he saw his comrade head pulverized in a mere flash.
