Bloodbath

A young man with dark hair is standing in front of a burned-out house.

The moonlight Illuminated his facial features. Deep, attractive dark eyes, a tall nose, and well-rounded features.

He had a solemn expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with nothingness, As he gazed at the remnants of the house.

An aura emanated from him, as if the darkness around him obeyed his will and were ready to devour anything in its path.

'I already left the funeral of the old man to Mr. Allen. The demon horns that I gave him should be enough to give the old man a proper burial and compensation to him.'

Adrian clutched his heart feeling a sharp pain shoot through his chest. It was as if someone had squeezed it tightly, making it difficult to breathe.

'Maybe this is what the old man felt when I died on the original timeline.'

Adrian's face twisted. 'It's all my fault...'

'I should have listened to him and stayed at home.'

The distant sound of bell chimes seemed to herald the beginning of a new day and the start of midnight.

'Happy birthday to me.'

....

'So that is their base.'

Standing on the roof of a tall building, I scouted their area. As I Coated my eyes with mana, my vision became sharper.

'They've severely underestimated me.'

There are only a few patrolling members. I should be able to slip in undetected. They might have thought that I tucked my tail and ran away.

I clicked my tongue in disappointment. "They severely underestimated me."

"A wolf that has nothing to lose is the most dangerous."

'Tonight, Iron Blood will forever be removed from this town.'

"[One with shadows.]" The darkness seems to engulf my entire body as I slowly blend in with the serene dark night of the town of Hora.

A confident smirk formed on my face. As I descended from the rooftop and made my way towards their base.

The dark night provided the perfect cover as I silently maneuvered through the shadows planting bombs and executing unaware members of the Iron Blood that were patrolling.

As I assassinated every member on the warehouse, I placed three magic bombs inside of it.

Each bomb was carefully placed in different strategic locations, ensuring maximum impact and devastation. The varying spots were chosen by me to create maximum destruction.

During my assassination spree, I came across a small shack. I slowly approached the shack, and I heard the people inside converse.

Their voices are filled with arrogance. I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger while listening to their conversation. I knew that it was time to show these people the true meaning of fear.

"..."

"Poor old man, he was just like a small puppy in front of the boss."

"Yeah, I'm really lucky that I'm on the same side as my boss, And we should never get into his bad side, he was quite scary."

"We should never offend him, I agree."

"However, you've offended me." A cloaked figure grabbed the head of my friend and slit his throat mercilessly.

Blood sprayed across the room as my friend's lifeless body fell to the ground. The cloaked figure turned towards me, and a sinister smile could be seen playing on his lips.

Staring into his deep dark eyes, a deep horror overwhelmed me. My knees collapsed out of fear. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I struggled to find the strength to move. The room suddenly felt oppressive and suffocating.

I desperately tried to scream, but I choked on every word that I was about to say. I urinated uncontrollably, the warm liquid seeping through my pants.

The stench filled the air, mixing with the metallic tang of blood. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to run, but my paralyzed body refused to obey.

Suddenly, the fear that had been consuming me vanished, and I was about to run into the nearest door when my vision reversed. 'Why the hell is he standing upside-down.'

The cloaked figure exited the scene after he decapitated the man who was under his [Demonic stare]. The severed head rolled across the ground, leaving a trail of crimson.

The cloaked figure's eyes gleamed with a sinister satisfaction as he disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind a chilling silence.

.....

'There is only one building left, and I already planted the magic bombs in strategic places.'

As I was making my way into the final building, A silhouette of a man could be seen walking towards me.

He Had an average physique, but this man can't be underestimated. The mana surrounding him suggests that he's at the peak of the beginning ranks. His confident stride and aura reflect his solid belief in himself.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the vice master of The Iron Blood Guild. We've been expecting you." He chuckled.

"You made quite a mess." He looked at me and let out a sigh.

"We've really underestimated you. If the boss only knew your potential from the start, he might have recruited you right away..."

"How about we let the bygones be bygones? I'll spare your life and join us. A good offer, right?"

"You talk too much."

"What is it?"

[Demonic stare]

I suddenly felt a deep sense of fear as I looked at Adrian who was approaching me from the distance.

I tried to move, but I couldn't find the strength in my legs. His gaze pierced mine, sending shivers down my spine.

Looking at the rooted figure of the vice-captain, Adrian couldn't help but feel disgusted.

He grabbed the vice leader's hair and pulled it downward.

As he yanked the hair, a sinister smile crept across Adrian's face.

The vice captain's eyes widened in fear. as Adrian aimed the dagger in his forehead.

"Is that all that you are proud of?" Adrian whispered into the vice leader's ear as he stabbed his dagger into its forehead.

[Devour.]

I ignored the system noises in my head because my gaze was fixed on a specific figure staring at me through a window.

In the Main building of the Iron Blood Guild.

A figure with a muscular physique can be seen gazing out the window.

His eyes were filled with a mix of calmness and disbelief as they witnessed the gruesome scene unfolding before him.

I made my way calmly towards the building, never taking my gaze away from a particular window.
