A bloodbath.

'What…? What just- What just happened…?' The guy wondered as a cold nervous sweat flowed down his face.

"Move or say a single word and you're dead." Whispered Asper.

Asper was completely latched onto him from behind. With his legs wrapped around the guy from behind and a knife on his mouth with it's blade placed right on the guy's neck, he glared at the man as he whispered into his ears.

*Thump* *Thump*

The man's eyes were open wide in surprise. But a grin slowly formed on his face shortly after as a cold nervous sweat rolled down his cheek.

"Are you sure you want to be focused on me right now?" He asked

*Clunk* *Clunk* *Clunk*

Asper looked around only to witness the nuzzle of the guns of all the hunters in the vicinity pointed at him.

Twelve guns, some of them being rifles and from twelve different experienced shooters in an open environment. They kept moderate distance from one another and formed a semi-circle in front of Asper and the hostage.

'Hey system… What does the SEN stat do?' Asper questioned.

<SEN also known as the Sense Stat, points placed on the stat will increase everything related to the sixth sense this includes perception, visual acuity, reaction time, sensory abilities, sensitivity to danger, thought process speed, etc…>

*Flash*

Asper's eyes then noticed another flash coming from the top of the factory in the far distance. That was another thing which he needed to be weary of, the sniper.

'Hm… System, do you have any tips on how I can survive this situation?'

<Error: Due to lack of information, unable to formulate answer>

'Then… Place all twelve remaining points into SEN.'

<Placing twelve points into SEN, confirm?>

'Confirm.'

<Confirmed>

"That's enough kid, you kill that guy and we'll open fire." Said one of the hunters as he stepped forward.

Upon seeing this, Asper daggered the blade of the knife deeper into the man's throat causing drops of blood to flow down.

"Domt mouph." Translation: Don't move.

The knife in Asper's mouth made it harder for him to communicate, but he didn't care. His eyes said enough. They were determined.

Once he saw this, the guy who was being held hostage smirked.

"HE WON'T KILL ME, JUST SH-"

*Slash*

<You have slain a hunter>

<You have levelled up!>

For a moment, everyone stood there in shock as the body fell over with Asper behind it. They were all taken out of the shock as the hunter who had originally tried to approach Asper shouted with hateful eyes.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? SHOOT-"

The man was interrupted however, as a bright flash suddenly burst out from the air. An ear piercing screech followed after, blinding and disorientating them.

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

…

Right before they landed on the ground when everyone's attention was in Asper, with his hands which were still shackled behind his back, he suddenly threw an object up into the air. A cone shaped object which he had taken from the corpse of the hunter he killed.

His last resort, a flash bang.

***

"FUCK I CAN'T SEE!"

"AAARGH!!"

*DUDUDUDUDUDU* *PRRRRRRRRRR* *BANG!* *BANG!*

Only those who have been hit by a flash-bang will know just how horrible it is of an experience. Ears ringing, incomparable dizziness followed by being dazzled as if flashes from a camera were going off right in your eyes.

Such a thing could last at minimum from 5 and 10 seconds. Being placed in such a situation, in an open field in a battlefield, for those who weren't trained to react in such a situation, how do you think they would react?

Panic. Even more so when they valued their life. These were hunters, not soldiers. Most of them seemed to be all muscles and like any other low-ranked one. In fact, from the moment he glanced at them, Asper had betted that the ones he had killed in the ruins were one of the best. That they had.

With their eyes temporarily blinded from the flash bang and their ears ringing. They all opened fired with their guns still in position. They fired and fired and fired, hoping that they were hitting the little shit.

"DIEEEEEE!"

"AAARGH!!! FUCK!!!"

"MY EARSSS!"

*BRRRRRRR!*

*DUDUDUDU*

*PRRRRRRRRRR*

However, Asper was no longer there.

The moment the flash bang actives, with his hands still shackled behind his back, he charged straight towards the left side of the semi-circle from the left flank.

3s…

The way he ran, the way he held the knife in his mouth. It was all unstable. His whole body was trembling from the adrenaline, he was nervous… But he didn't stop.

*SLASH!*

The moment he reached the first guy. He slashed at his neck from behind. It was a shallow and imprecise cut and it only alerted the man that Asper was behind him.

5s…

The man groaned out in pain before quickly turning around and firing rapidly at whatever was behind him. He was still disorientated from the flash.

*DUDUDUDUDUDU*

All of the shots missed asper as he was no longer there.

7s…

*Slash!*

Once again, the man was slashed from the right, causing him to turn and rapidly fire in that direction.

"ARGH!! FUCKING DIE!!!"

*DUDUDUDUDUDU*

Cries of pain resounded from his comrades taking some of the bullets, however he couldn't hear it. It was going just as Asper planned.

10s

*Clunk* *Clunk*

The man repeatedly tapped on the trigger,but he ran out of ammo. In that instant, as his vision began to stabilize, the last sight he saw was Asper's snow white hair and the corpses of around 6 his comrades which he had shot down laying on the ground.

*Pierce*

In a single motion, he was impaled right in his throat.

<Adapted to single-handed knife>

<You have slain a hunter>

<You have assisted in slaying a hunter>

<You have assisted in slaying a hunter>

<You have assisted in slaying a hunter>

<You have levelled up!>

<You have levelled up!>

Asper's hair who was near this throat as the blood spurted out, was stained in the man's blood as he fell over.

Part of his snow white hair was dyed a bloody red color.

Without bothering to think about his next move and whilst ignoring the sound of the notifications, Asper simply charged at the next unmobilized hunter who was just about to recover.

Asper's hands were still tied behind his back, his head swayed left and right as he struggled to balance himself. His heart was beating faster and faster.

'What's this feeling…?' He wondered to himself.

13s…

He picked up the knife of one of the corpses caused by the hunter's mad shootings, as he tripped and fell over, sliding across the dust. During his slide he somehow managed to cut the steel shackles using the energy knife which he had picked up, freeing his hands.

'My body… It's hot…'

15s…

The seconds were passing by quickly, the effects of of the flash bang were already dying out. He looked up, only to see that he had reached the hunter only… The hunter had the nuzzle of his hand-gun pointed down at Asper's head as his body laid on the floor.

Asper noticed tears in the mans wide opened eyes and a wide smile on his face.

*BANG!* *BANG* *BANG!* *CLUNK* *CLUNK*

He repeatedly pulled the trigger with the nuzzle having been pointed at Asper, however, missed as Asper's avoided them by quickly rolling over to the right in the very last second. A bullet managed to graze his cheek.

'I can see it… I can feel it…'

Asper's reaction speed was faster than ever, his thought process, his decisions, they were all being formulated at a much faster speed than usual. It was as if the others were moving in slow motion. Time seemed to slow down and he could finally utilize his agility towards it's true limits.

18s…

Asper threw the energy knife which he had used to free his arm straight at the man's head, piercing him right on his temple.

<You have slain a hunter>

<You have levelled up!>

20s…

He rushed at the next hunter, this time without any weapons and only the cut off shackles in his hand, ducking and swaying from side to side to avoid the bullets of the five remaining hunters which had survived.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS KID!?" One of them suddenly shouted.

Asper was the only one who could hear it as he was the only one who had covered his ears.

Due to having been disorientated, their aim was all over the place, even if it was five. It was easy to avoid. Asper could see the bullets. Just barely, but he could see it. He could see the trajectories.

<Adapted to bullet speed>

Before they had even realized it, he had closed in the gap between them.

Right as electricity began flowing through his finger tips and he leapt towards the first guy, it happened-

*BAANGG!*

From an angle outside of his field of view, a loud bang resounded. Asper tried to react in time, but his body couldn't keep up. Followed by a large bang, Asper's body could be seen getting knocked off balance before he slid down to the side.

It was one the factor which had kept Asper on high alert since the beginning of the fight, the sniper.
