Slaughter - Part 3

"Hello, this is Hirata's team, we have secured the outermost wall!"

Butcher Wang heard a report through his smartwatch.

Not long after, another report came in.

"This is Kang Hae-Jung and Rasyikh's team, we have secured the inner wall!"

"This is Sun Zhou Yi, I have secured the core region wall!"

The reports came in one after another. Butcher Wang nodded his head happily. The operation was going smoothly.

He then looked at the live report of the evacuation. Most of the citizens had been evacuated to the underground city. Especially the people in the trade region and the outer region. All of them had already been evacuated to the underground city.

However, the team encountered difficulties with the people in the Inner Region and the Core Region. Most of them were stubborn and insisted on staying.

These people did not believe the heroes of Star City, boasting that the local heroes were strong enough to protect them.

'Hah, if they want to stay, then they should stay. It's your fault that you're getting dragged into the battle!' Butcher Wang was slightly annoyed by this thought.

"Good, the inner wall has been secured as well! You can start slaughtering now!" Butcher Wang brought the smartwatch closer to his mouth and sent the message to all the teams.

After that, he stood up and looked down. He was in the core region, at the top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. From the top, he could see several groups of people dressed in black moving together.

They were wreaking havoc, destroying everything in front of them. Those groups were the Reaper's people.

"It's my time to join as well!"

Butcher Wang jumped down from the building.

"You! How could you come here?" The young man pointed at Musashi Hirata. A vein burst near his ears and his eyes became bloodshot.

He recognized Musashi Hirata. This guy was the disciple of the man he wanted to kill. Anger surged through him, the young man was about to explode.

However, Musashi Hirata was not affected by the crazy boy in front of him. He turned to Lyera and his team members, "You guard this device until the defense team arrives!"

After that, he shook his sword to clean the dripping blood from it. Then Hirata put the sword back into its scabbard and bent his body a little.

"What about you?" Lyera asked back.

"I'm going to clean these people!" Hirata was in the draw sword stance. He completely ignored the words of the young man.

"Hahaha... Funny! Even your master can't kill me, do you think you can?" The young man laughed out loud. At the same time, Black Ki swirled in his right hand, forming a black spear.

The middle-aged man did the same. The Black Ki swirled in his left hand, forming a black sword.

Musashi Hirata's eyes turned sharp the moment the young man mentioned it. But then he smiled, "If I can kill you, I will have something to show my master!"

Swoosh!

Right after Musashi Hirata finished his words, his figure disappeared. A large gust of wind blew forward toward the young man and the middle-aged man.

The young man and the middle-aged man were startled. Fortunately, the middle-aged man reacted quickly. He formed a wall of black ki to block the drawing sword.

"Heh, do you think this useless wall can block my sword?" Musashi Hirata slashed horizontally with his sword.

Brrrrthhh!

The wall was torn apart by the sword. It cut through the wall. When it was about to reach the neck of the pair, the middle-aged man moved, pulling the young man back.

He stood in front of the young man. At the same time, black gas came out of his nose, mouth, and ears.

"Arghhhh!"

The middle-aged man screamed loudly. At the same time, his neck turned pitch black. It was as if his neck was turning into something else.

Clang!

The sword struck the blackened neck. The sound of metal colliding resounded. The middle-aged man had turned his neck into metal with his Dark Ki.

However, the blackened neck was unable to stop the sword completely. The sword pierced the neck but stopped halfway.

Even though the middle-aged man's neck was cut in half, he was fine. He smiled at Musashi Hirata.

"It's time for you to taste my sword, young man!" The middle-aged man raised his sword.

But before he could swing the sword at Musashi Hirata, his sword fell. Not only the sword but also his entire left hand fell.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock as the pain was transmitted from his shoulder. He saw his entire left arm fall from his body.

It did not stop there. After his left arm, his vision also began to fall. No, it was not his vision, but his body was falling. His feet were also cut off. The middle-aged man saw his own three limbs on the ground as his limbless body fell.

"ARGGHHHH!!!" The middle-aged man screamed in agony as his body fell with his back to the ground.

"Why were you so proud of blocking just one of my sword strokes?" Musashi Hirata looked down with a cold stare.

"HOW??" The middle-aged man asked with a howl. He saw only one sword, only one sword. He was sure of it. Therefore, he stepped forward to block the incoming sword.

Musashi Hirata did not answer the man with words. He answered the middle-aged man with a cut to the neck.

It was a clean cut as the middle-aged man's head rolled down and blood spurted towards the young man.

"Huh!? I thought you were a specter..." Musashi Hirata muttered as he looked at the blood. He was surprised that he had not encountered any specters yet.

After killing the middle-aged man, Musashi Hirata turned to the last target. The young man stared at him dumbfounded. He had not expected Heero's disciple to be so strong.

But then, suddenly, the young man unlocked his smartwatch and shouted to his comrades, "This is a trap! LEAVE THE CITY NOW!"

Swoosh!

An arrow whistled through the air and struck the smartwatch before the young man could utter any more words.

After that, Musashi Hirata appeared in front of the young man. Without saying a word, he slashed the young man's neck.

"This is strange!"

"What is strange?" Lyera went over to Musashi Hirata and asked.

"Aren't they too weak? I thought these two were someone with a high position in Reaper..." Musashi Hirata was confused as he killed the two one-sidedly.

Based on the information they had gathered over the past three years, these two should be at the Emperor Class level. It should take him some time to kill them.

"It's not them who are weak, but you who have become much stronger!" Lyera could not help but shake her head. 

She was also shocked inside. From her observation, the two of them were quite a worthy opponent. Even for her, it would be difficult to kill them both at the same time.

In the inner region

Sun Zhou Yi stood in the middle of the dead beastmen. He just stood there as his ki swords did the killing.

A total of one hundred Ki Swords were flying around. These swords killed all the beastmen that came near him.

Sun Zhou Yi was also in a state of confusion. Just like Musashi Hirata, he could not believe that he had killed all the enemies so easily.

"Aren't they too weak? I prepared everything for this moment, but..." He muttered as he saw a beastman impaled with his ki sword.

Three years, he dedicated his three years to this moment. The great war, he prepared for this day, but...

"Why are they so weak? Where is the leader? Maybe their leader could put up some resistance!" Sun Zhou Yi looked around.

In a radius of one hundred meters, he was surrounded by a lycanthrope, a half-human, half-wolf creature.

"The leader is right in front of you!" From the side, Elazaro Tania pointed at a wolf head. Next to the wolf's head was a headless body.

Yes, the leader of the Lycanthrope was already dead. It was decapitated by Sun Zhou Yi's Ki Sword.

"Huh!?"

Core Region, Sun Dome

The arena was supposed to be a place for the contestants to fight. However, it was changing, it was now a place for slaughter.

In the middle of the arena, Dominic stood mute as he looked around.

Thousands of men in black surrounded them. The enemies were thousands, while on his side were seven people.

The target of these people was Heero, the man standing next to him. But none of those thousands of men could reach Heero and him.

Before they could reach the arena, they would be killed by the five people below the arena. 

Dominic could only watch in amazement as these enemies were so easily slaughtered.
