Special Guards... Interrupted Slaughter

Y-you're Joschwa… but how, he's been missing for ten years why would he appear only now (Robert)

There's no reason for me to answer by the way how's Christopher, I haven't seen him since that day (Joschwa)

You really are him or just someone assuming his identity (Robert)

Believe what you want, just now it's the last time you'll be able to (Joschwa)

As he shrugged his shoulders he lightly threw Robert away from his sister as he rolled on the ground with small scratches. Stopping, he glared at Joschwa as he got up. Looking around as everyone saw him being tossed so easily that started whispering snide remarks and slight laughter as it made his anger boil even more.

Shut up before I kill everyone of you and your families (Robert)

Everyone who laughed and said snide remarks quickly shut their mouths but some directed it towards Joschwa as to blame for almost offending young master Kru. 

Who is this kid? Is he trying to get us all killed (Random Guy)

I don't know but he's looking for death (Another Random Guy)

Too bad he's so handsome if only he didn't offend young master Kru (Random Girl)

<Tsk> that's all you care about if he's handsome or not (Random Guy)

So what all you care about is if she's pretty, you've been staring at that woman since she came  (Another Random Girl)

But it looks like she's with the two other handsome men and the one who offended young master Kru so it's best to forget about her (Another Random Guy)

As that kind of conversation was heard, Sheva who they were talking about just ignored them as she was waiting on Joschwa to give them an order but she thought to herself

[You kids have no idea who you have offended, Joschwa will make sure you follow after that stupid brat and his little friends. One thing that makes him ruthless is that he kills anyone for saying anything negative about anyone close to him. Even if you  show a hint of murderous intent he'll deal with you right then and there are no questions asked. He states that if they already have intent to kill you then there's no reason to let them live any longer. I for one can't wait to see it]

It looks like he wants to act a script out as he puts it which I still don't understand (Sheva)

He says it's something that people called actors memorize for roles like a guideline to something called a movie so it has a predetermined plot but it goes in the exact same way 9 times out of ten for the same type of storyline (Shadow)

You sure know some weird words I guess you would since you're the first and longest contracted beast of his (Sheva)

Hehe of course don't worry, you'll get used to it soon (Shadow)

Boasting his chest from being proud of being Joschwa's first and longest contracted best and knowing what he does and say

It seems that they're mesmerized by your looks, Sheva why don't you…

Before Shadow completed that Sheva glared at him coldly 

If you want to keep our horns you better not complete that sentence

<Gulp> Yes ma'am

Night seeing how these two always act just sighed and stayed quiet waiting on orders as they stood in the way of the three young masters with Robert. The three for some reason couldn't move because as soon as they were in front of these three Night used his aura so suppress them which they thought was some kind of skill.

Let us go, you three can't afford to offend any of us, you vermins. Now release your skill (Young Master Clay)

You don't know what you got yourself into for interfering with young master Kru (Young Master Kline)

Oh do enlighten us who this young master Kru is (Shadow)

You don't know he is the second young master of the… (Young Master Drex)

Yeah, yeah we heard him earlier but so what, that doesn't mean anything to us (Shadow)

<Shocked> W-what do you mean it doesn't (Young master Drex)

Just look for yourselves as you all have angered master (Night)

People who were paying attention to the six turned their attentions to where the three people Joschwa, Elverlyn and Robert was as they seen Robert had just been thrown away with ease and seeing as he had small scratches which made them dumbfound as the person who stopped Robert from harming Elverlyn looked about 18 years old.

What shocked them more was that he didn't even pay Robert any attention  and hearing the people who had witnessed everything so far chimed in with snide remarks and laughter about Robert which pissed him off more. That caused him to threaten them and their families. After shutting them up Robert called out to the helpers his family assigned to him at all times.

Three men with masks in all black appeared in front of him, they got one one knee and said

Yes young master

I want one of you to get rid of those two and the other two will kill the three over there understood (Robert)

Understood young master 

Two of the masked men appeared in front of the three young masters and the other stood in front of Robert as they both went closer to Joschwa and Elverlyn who had a panicked look on her face as she saw the coming and new that the three men were a part of the Kru Family's special guards as they were trained from an early age to protect the young master's of the Kru Family. She looked at Joschwa and found that he had neither an anxious look or fear he just looked bored when he saw them then looked back at her and smiled which made her puzzled.

Josh this isn't good, they're the Kru Family's special guards. The weakest are rumored to be at the beginning of C Rank and the strongest is almost as strong as the head of the family, a Beginner A Rank powerhouse. (Elverlyn)

He looked back at the two who stood a few feet away from them then looked back down at his sister and said

There's no need to worry, you see the three over there, they're pretty strong and I'm pretty strong myself Lyn so it'll be fine. (Joschwa)

But the other young masters special guards have appeared now since they saw Kru's guards reveal themselves, so those three are at a disadvantage now. (Elverlyn)

He pat his sister's head and said 

Trust me they can handle it besides they're nothing but trash (Joschwa)

Saying for that last part for everyone to hear most people couldn't believe it they were like do you not know who the Kru Family's special guards are or has he been living under a rock. Some are saying how bold, to call the special guards of the young masters' trash. Some even said they couldn't wait to see how the five of them die. While the three young masters who heard him had looks of disdain and young master Drex said

Us trash? Hahaha that's the funniest thing I heard ever 

Haha you're right Mitt (Young Master Clay)

He's just a frog at the bottom of the well. He doesn't understand how the world works but soon he won't have to worry about it (Young Master Kline)

And this woman here we'll be sure to play with her after getting rid of the two beside her (Young Master Clay)

They looked all over her body with lust in their eyes as they couldn't wait to play with her

She just showed a small smile but this smile made Shadow and even Night gulp a little at it which they thought to themselves

[My condolences]

As they were laughing and saying what they'll do with Sheva, Joschwa heard it all and said to the three

<Grinning> Have fun

Once that was said the three smiled as they looked at the three young masters and seven special guards with two being Robert's. They all felt a chill run down their spine even the onlookers as they looked at the eyes and creepy smile of the three. This caused the special guards to take a stance with their weapons against them and circulate their mana to use their skills at a moment's notice. 

At this moment Robert who heard Joschwa  said to the three that were with him looked at Joschwa with murderous eyes as he wanted nothing more than to rip his skin off and crush his bones to powder as he made Elverlyn his plaything for the rest of her life. He smirk thinking about it and said to Joschwa.

You sure they can handle it, I mean they look so weak and the woman looks fragile but she's not bad maybe I can make her my slave along with your sister after I make you wish you never reappeared (Robert)

You don't need to worry about them because all of this will be over soon 

Yes you're right it will be.. Cain

Yes young master (Cain)

Get rid of him I'll change my mind about her just cripple her (Robert)

Yes young master (Cain)

Hearing his orders Cain looked towards Joschwa with murderous intent and said 

Boy, now that you offended my young master, death is the only way you'll leave here including those three you put so much trust in (Cain)

Who gave you permission to speak to me, I didn't even give Robert permission and that's what his third mistake was (Joschwa)

You're no one special, you shouldn't even have the right to speak to me… Enough talking Cain kill him now (Robert)

Cain dashed forward and used his skill {Earth Prison} which encased Joschwa in a prison-like structure with no openings. Joschwa made Elverlyn move some feet away from him during that time so she wouldn't get caught up in it with him. Seeing her brother trapped in it she panicked, thinking of a way to save him but she couldn't as her mana still hasn't recovered enough to do anything yet. She then saw Cain used his mana to condense the earth prison into a compact ball then say.

Shatter(Cain)

Seeing as the compacted earth ball shattered into millions of pieces the ones who saw was shocked at the display of power while the young masters including Robert had smiles on their faces as they knew the outcome. They looked towards the three who was fighting with their special guards and one of them said towards them.

Looks like your friend is already dead. Pity he didn't even last ten seconds (Young Master Clay)

Of course that's a special guard of the Kru Family, I expect nothing less of them (Young Master Kline)

Hearing them Shadow said

With that level of attack, you'll be lucky to even ruffle his clothes a little let alone kill him 

Haha is that so but to me he seems to be crushed into powder now… Cain cripple her

Yes young master (Cain)

Seeing as there were no signs of Joschwa, Elverlyn was stuck in a daze as she didn't believe after just meeting her brother again she would lose him just like that. She couldn't believe it and fell to the ground digging her hands into the ground as she was both mad and helpless. Mad at not being able to protect her little brother and helpless because she couldn't do anything but watch. Seeing her like that Robert had a evil smirk and said to her.

You could have saved both of them if you just had obedintly agreed to be my woman but now one's cripple and the brother of yours who finally came back is dead. And now you'll become my slave as a plaything for all my friends to use as they like.

Y-you... I'll kill you (Elverlyn)

She was about to rush to Robert but Cain Held her arm and looked at her coldly. He raised his hand filled with mana to destroy her mana core but before he could his hand that held Elverlyn by the arm was cut off by a wind skill. Stopping his attack then returning to protect his young master as he didn't even sense the attack.

 He figured it was a powerful high rank person who did it and it seems that person is here to help Elverlyn. Seeing how one of the special guards of the Kru Family has his arm cut off without being able to do anything, they shiver at the thought that if it was them they would have died without knowing how. Looking around and trying to sense where the person who did it was at but without any luck they couldn't find him.

Shadow seeing as they thought they could actually locate Joschwa laughed as the fight was paused because of what's going on over there where Joschwa and his sister were at. The people looked at him like he was crazy, taking a step back as to not be close to him. As the young masters and special guards were also on guard as to this unexpected event (for them) they were wary, confused then a little mad at why Shadow started laughing for.

What are you laughing about don't you see that your little friend is already dead? You must have some little helper to sneak attack him, that's all (Young master Drex)

Yeah don't be so proud soon that person and you all will join him in death (Young Master Kline)

Hahahaha… hmm have none of you figured it out yet (Shadow)

Figured what out stop trying to delay the enviable, you all will die here today without a burial (Yong Master Clay)

Shadow.. Haaaa… what he means is do you not know who used that attack (Sheva)

It's just one of your friends who likes to attack from a distance. (Young master Drex)

Young master, something isn't right I can't find where that attack came from it's like it never happened (Cain)

What are you saying is the one who sent that attack stronger than you (Robert)

I don't know but it's a possibility.. How about we retreat first and find out who it is once we're back at the manor (Cain)

He looked towards the other three then to Elverlyn, frown then said

<Tsk> This isn't over yet. I'll make you my slave soon enough. Cain tell the other two we're leaving (Robert)

Yes mas…. (Cain)

Did I allow you to leave (???)

W-who… no that voice, it can't be… (Robert)

As everyone heard that voice who sounded like a ruler demanding his subjects to answer him for doing something he never gave permission to do. Looking around for where the voice came from soon someone shouted

H-he's up there it's him (A Random Guy)

As the guy spotted Joschwa standing in the air as if he was on the ground looking down at them like a emperor does. Joschwa looked at Robert and Cain with a grin as he saw the look of shock on their faces. 

They couldn't believe he didn't die and looked at his sister who looked at him with tears in her eyes as she looked back at him with shock and happiness as well to see him alive and unscratched which puzzled her as she remembered he said I'm pretty strong myself. Now she realized he was telling the truth about being strong; she just didn't know how strong he truly was.

<Muttering> Is that really Josh but that attack was a wind element attack and Josh couldn't use it before, did something happen for him to be able to use it… (Elverlyn)

Looking at him as he smiled towards her she thought

[What did you go through for the past ten years Josh. Even when you look at them the coldness in your eyes, the way you talked about killing without batting an eye. It's different from the you I remember. Just what happened?]

She wanted to know what happened to her brother to change so much but now was the time. Because Robert gritted his teeth and said angrily 

You.. how are you still alive did that person who sneak attack Cain saved you somehow  (Robert)

What makes you think someone saved me (Joschwa)

Because I can tell you're only a beginner C rank so you can't possibile do anything against Cain so where's your little helper huh (Robert)

Young master I think we should really leave at once, something about him doesn't feel right (Cain)

What do you mean.. He's only a weak beginner C rank you don't have to worry about him or those three just that unknown attacker (Robert)

But young master, you can deal with him once we report back to your father (Cain)

Gritting his teeth at the mention of his father he was mad but soon calm down as he thought what Cain said was better since they don't know how strong that 'person' who isn't shown really is. 

Fine let's go tell the clothes, we're leaving now… Just wait for me I'll kill you soon enough (Robert)

I hate repeating myself but did I allow any of you to leave (Joschwa)

Saying that everyone except for his sister and three companions were affected by the small amount of aura he released on them which caused some to faint, some to breathe heavily and others to stick to the ground. The special guards and young masters including Robert tried to get up but couldn't as the pressure was too strong to withstand even when releasing their own aura.

He looked towards the three young masters and special guards and released them from his aura as they coughed up blood and took in air as some couldn't breathe. Looking towards him in fear they heard him say in a cold voice

Enough playing… kill them

Yes master (NIght/Shadow/Sheva)

[Hehe looks like they really pissed him off this time can't wait to wait after killing these vermins] though Sheva

Next is you two turns to die (Joschwa)

As he was about to make his move to kill those two as the three were about to do the same but someone intervened at the last moment

Stop!!! (???)
