Wipeout (2)

The desperation of Willow that required her to complete her mission came from the understanding that she couldn't keep up with me when I disappeared to start the mission.

This let her know she was much weaker than what she originally believed when compared to my power.

Willow did not doubt that it wasn't, if I would complete the mission, it was, when I would be done.

She didn't want to be the one straggling behind, especially when she had it much easier.

Her biggest worry was arriving in front of the HQ to see me sitting there waiting with an impatient expression.

This drives her to move at insane speeds and be sure to complete her goal as soon as possible.

She didn't once consider there would be any risk for her or even the thought of facing any danger, all she had to do was destroy and annihilate.

Those fears of her were actually coming true at this moment as I was completing my mission at a speed she couldn't even help but fail at.

When the deafening roar rang out from my body everyone in the military training camp had been alerted to my presence except for one man who continued to sit in his office as if nothing had changed.

'Twenty-nine,' I counted down in my head the seconds before the inevitable clash with the principal.

Placing my hand on the building flames erupted and toxic corrosion spread out to create a perfect opening which I quickly climbed through.

Although the humans within the camp knew that something was attacking them, they didn't know what.

After all, what they heard was a terrifying roar that shook them to their cores.

What they expected was a gigantic monster to come crashing down into their building.

However, what they didn't expect was a young man to simply walk straight in after melting a gap in the building.

The soldiers who were closest to the break-in didn't show any fear as all their worries instantly vanished and were replaced with annoyance.

"You dare to-" One of the soldiers tried to say in an intimidating tone before his voice became muffled.

A shocked expression remained on the man's face as he tried to look down at his body only to realize he was flying across the room and that he was missing something. However, he would never know what that was because the moment his head hit the ground his eyes went dark and his body which was across the hall collapsed.

Alarm rose throughout the camp as screams and cries filled the ears of everyone causing mass panic.

In the midst of all the chaos, I, a single man stood as blood continually dropped down me.

No abilities were used, no mana was expended, essence wasn't even a thought to be used, it was pure unaltered power.

Raw strength and speed simply from my stats were enough to end the lives of anyone I made contact with.

A deep, dark, fury to obliterate filled my mind as my emotions turned wild and I gave into my desires.

There was no running, there was no hope, only death.

"Please!"

"Help!"

"Someone save me!"

Cries and screams echoed throughout the building yet no one came.

With every step I took the lives of tens of people came to a close.

I wanted to laugh, I wanted to scream, I wanted death and death I gave them.

The moment the first soldier tried to speak to me I took a step forward and appeared in front of him.

By doing that time itself seemed to slow and there was no motion, only me wrapped in darkness as the planet seemed to freeze.

Curiosity filled my mind and I raised my hand and made my palm horizontal before pressing it to the neck of the man and tracing it from right to left.

Nothing happened at that moment but when I relaxed my muscles and time continued blood sprayed out in front of me as the warmth of it landed on my body.

My palm had cleanly decapitated the man as I watched his body fall beneath me.

'So this is what it feels like to have power, a power that can change the course of the world.'

A satisfied expression filled my face before I returned to action.

'Twenty-eight more seconds,' I said to myself, still keeping count.

After the first kill, it became so much quicker because I didn't bother to test my power. I already knew that even the principal wouldn't be a match. But, I would take full advantage of the time I had remaining.

My muscles flexed and I took another step forward to appear in front of a young woman. Time once again came to a halt but I didn't focus on that; rather I made a fist and punched her stomach before finding a new target.

This process repeated as my hungry eyes began to tremble.

I would take a step to appear in front of a soldier and give a quick and simple attack that would eventually lead to the explosion of their bodies.

I punched chests and heads, cut necks with my palm, and poked arms and legs before moving on to the next opponent.

Towards the two hundredth person, a voice resounded through the hall.

This caused me to pause for a moment when I turned back to look at the woman who was the second person I killed.

I hole had presented itself in her body and the expressions on some of the soldiers had changed.

I looked all around to realize that I was wrong with my original conclusion.

Time did in fact not stop or freeze but rather I was moving at such unfathomable speeds that everything and everyone slowed down.

It just took a while for time to catch up to the speed I was traveling.

This resulted in the explosion of the woman's body.

Nothing changed for me at this moment and I moved forward to continue my destruction.
