Vengeance Hunter

Times passed.

As the battle between Justice and Evil continues, so does the conflict and carnage.

Helios Country, the floating place the story resides.

A new order under the shining sun, built after 'Ragnarok' (Dawn of the New Age), harvesting its glow as their source of power, used from the skyscrapers, even the smallest of apartments.

In this country is ruled by a king, but the king himself isn't that of importance. It was the Heroes who helped the Civilians in his stead, using their powers to take down all Villains within the Country itself.

[Helisium Border Region.]

" I've got the money! " Said a rookie Villain using his ability of speed, running around and creating havoc on the road.

" Good, Tag Runner! " Said another as he swings around the buildings, releasing silk to create ropes for him.

" What we need to do is to reach the border, until akh-!!! " The rope was cut, as the Villain who swings falls into the ground.

" Swinger! " Tag Runner stops to see his partner, but that was his fatal mistake as he was bludgeoned by a certain hero who had powerful fists.

" You two are not so lucky today! " Says the Hero Bludgeon as he takes Tag Runner down while in the other hand Swinger managed to summon his silk, but the moment is not right for him, he instead gets more slipped, making himself killed as he falls into the ground.

" Ach! " Bludgeon see it with disappointment while Tag Runner could only cry seeing Swinger died because of that.

" Swinger! " Tag Runner cries but Bludgeon decides to make him sleep for a while as he was approached by his Lady.

" Your robbery ends here, Villain. " Lady Sharp Edge says this while the Civilians cheers for her.

" Keep the smile, Bludgeon... " Sharp Edge reminds him, as the two smiles to over their supporters around, finishing their duty at best.

(Hours later.)

[Trashville, Below Helios Country.]

[Location: Rook & Crook District.]

" Goddamn you, Sharp Edge! " The Leader of the 'Crook Gang' rants over Bludgeon as soon as he sees the corpse of Swinger taken home.

" Here is Swinger, our condolences for- "

" Don't say like you feel sorry about this, you bladed whor*! " The Leader tells her while his Gang Members began to activate their abilities as soon as it happened.

" We know what happened, this is one your 'improvisation' to make it more 'realistic', isn't it? " He asks Sharp Edge that, while Sharp Edge rolled her eyes with disrespect.

" My dear pathetic leader of crooks... "

" If it weren't for me, then you wouldn't set your feet over Helios, my dear. " Sharp Edge tells him.

" We already made the way for you and your crooks to enter, now it's your turn to make a scene as I dearly pay you. "

" If your dear Crook Villain dies in the scene..., instead of blaming me..., shouldn't you blame the crook himself for being incompetent? " 

" Besides, instead of him, why didn't you do it yourself, then? "

" If it's you, our exposure will be rising up, including your 'payment'? " Sharp Edge asks him.

" Why you- " the Leader of the Crooks is so pissed, he and his men activates their abilities but Sharp Edge, who can summon blades from her environment, immediately summons it with help of Bludgeon who was already hiding around from the start, trapping the crook's foot on the ground in order for his Lady to sever their heads.

" You done, Milady? " Bludgeon comes out as Sharp Edge kicks the head of the Leader with ease.

" This dear crook gang has already been out of their use, ach..., expired. "

" Bludgeon, after this, we need to find some lowkey Villains that we could buy with our current funds, in order for us to- "

* Door opens. *

A figure with Black Armor, Hood, Cape, and Mask comes in. Walking calmly in front of the two Heroes.

" Ahahaha, dear me, who is this!? "

" Are you part of the 'crooks', your clothes looked fancy enough? " 

" Yeah right, Milady, who is this guy, is he cosplaying? " Bludgeon also laughs but the arriving person still responds with silence.

" Ah dear, it seems he won't talk, dear Bludgeon. "

" Guess we have to castrate him to know the answer. "

" Kill him. " Sharp Edge orders Bludgeon as he uses his ability [Terra Trap] to trap the black figure, but the black figure immediately leaps into the skies. As he leaps, Blades began to summon from the walls around him, striking at him full but the figure quickly slices it, using his ability to summon Black Objects.

<Skill: [Black Sharp (A)]>

<Using the Skill, User could summon sharp objects using User's Black Powers.>

<Black Sharp Form: Blade>

Using it, the Black Figure quickly slices the obstacles given to him, both from Sharp Edge and Bludgeon who tried to press him into the ground, but the Black Figure leaps in the skies, slicing his obstacles with ease.

<Skill: [Black Step (A)]>

<Using the Skill, User can use Black Powers to step over non-physical contact objects such as water and air.>

" Stop moving around! " Bludgeon puts his hand on the ground, using [Terraform] to arm his hand with the power of Earth, using it to create, large hands made of earth, he wants to stab the Black Figure.

[Skill: Terra Thrust]

<'Villain' [Bludgeon] is using [Terra Thrust].>

" I know. " The Black Figure finally talks, using his 'Black Blade' to slice through Bludgeon's gigantic hand, slicing it in half.

" Garrgh, why you!? "

" Bludgeon! " Sharp Eye wants to attack the Black Figure as she leaps behind him in order strike at him from both place as well as Bludgeon with his other hand. The two approaches their strike but the Black Figure quickly rotates with his blade and use his technique.

<Technique: [Black Spin (A)]>

<The technique enables the User to spin attack against enemies, giving damage all directions.>

<CRIT HIT>

" Gyarrgh! " Both Sharp Edge and Bludgeon had their arms sliced during the attack, as it happened, the Black Figure looks at Bludgeon, immediately targeting him and slicing his legs before his Blade was placed on his neck.

" Who are you? " Bludgeon asks as the Black Figure stops his movements, for his enemies are now weakened especially Sharp Edge who screams over her severed arm.

The Black Figure's head approach Bludgeon's face closer as he touched his mask, opening it for a bit to show his face on front of Bludgeon's face.

" You..., you... " Bludgeon seemed to recognize the Black Figure as he immediately sliced Bludgeon's head in half, killing him in an instant.

<'Villain' [Bludgeon] successfully murdered.>

<User successfully cuts the planted device on [Bludgeon]'s head.>

<Receiving Rewards>

<Rewards Obtained>

<EXP Obtained>

" Not enough. " The Black Figure says it as he looks over the weak Sharp Edge.

" Blud... " She sees it in horror, seeing her muscle is taken down first.

" Like a true entitled lady, you are nothing without your bodyguard. " The Black Figure sees her with half of his face shown.

" SCREW YOU! " Sharp Edge use her Skill, creating a large gargantuan Sharp Blade summons around the place, preparing to end things by herself but then.

" Nope! " The Black Figure sliced her first before her skill is even activated, destroying the skill too as the User get sliced in half.

" A...aaa... " Sharp Edge sees the Black Figure approaching her as slow as he could, in her greatest of bleed, witnessing half of her killer's face.

" Your face? " Sharp Edge sees it, seeing it as focused as she could in her dying state, immediately remembered her on someone, someone she betrayed a long time ago.

" Intern..., dear? " Sharp Edge sees her killer witnessing him looms and descends his body over her, crouching beside her as their face are getting close.

" Not so sharp now huh, Supervisor...? " The Black Figure asks as Sharp Edge's breaths and consciousness leaves her.

" Hmph! " The Black Figure stabs his blade on Sharp Edge's chest, ending her life, receiving his rewards from finally killing the ones who betrayed him.

" Like I said back then... "

" I'll destroy you. " The Black Figure pulls the blade after his vengeance, he swings his blade around for a while, splattering blood everywhere, and leaves.

<User successfully cuts the planted device on [Sharp Edge]'s chest.>

(At Night.)

[Trashville, Below Helios Country.]

[Location: Rook & Crook District.]

The Investigators from the Helios' Heroes HQ comes and closed the place as they investigated the scene. Using their Helios Authority, they do as they please in Trashville.

" We found their device. " Said the Masked Investigator, using their 'Investigation Suit' to keep themselves and their evidence clean. He calls the HQ, showing the sliced implant device to the Drones he brings with him.

" Tch! So that Figure finally does it again? " Said those from the HQ as they see it live from their Monitor.

That's not just in the Heroes HQ, but at the same time, in the [Villain's Nest].

[Prof. Vile's Dungeon]

" We finally found the remnants of Prof. Vile. "

" After all these years, so this is his fate. " Said the Villain's 'Scavengers', some fodder Villains used to do their Great Villains' dirty job.

" Nest, are you seeing this? " Said one of the Scavengers sent, seeing words made from blood. Not just them, at the same time, the Heroes' Investigators are also showing the HQ of the same words made of Blood made by the same person who killed both Heroes and Villains in both places.

The words are...

" TO BOTH HEROES & VILLAINS. "

" I KNOW YOUR GAME, I'VE SEEN THE TRUTH OF YOUR LIES, I SURVIVED IT. "

" WITH THIS, ALL OF YOU WILL PAY FOR MY SUFFERING AND THOSE THINGS YOU HAVE TAKEN FROM ME. "

" FOR I'M THE HUNTER WHO HUNTS BOTH HEROES AND VILLAINS IN THE NAME OF VENGEANCE. "

" I AM... THE 'VENGEANCE HUNTER'. "

" YOUR SLAYER. "
