Chapter 79 - Destroy

Kaspher was calmly walking towards the group that had arrived. With a sweet smile on his face, he had approached these people.

"Hello, may I know what your business-!"

Kaspher's eyes widened as a line of tedious energy appeared before his eyes. The ground that he was standing on had just a few inches to his right was a straight line, created by the sudden movement of one of the people in the group.

Kaspher didn't move after that. He was still surprised and, slowly, his eyes moved to them and saw their delighted eyes. Their faces were beaming, which indicated that this was not a good encounter.

His initiative made him run away from them. The people were just laughing at his reaction, but Kaspher didn't care. What was on his mind was to relay a message to his underlings.

He took out his phone and then redirected it to his office. And just as his secretary answered it, he shouted nonstop.

"Tell the troops to be vigilant! These people had no intention of communicating with us! Tell them to stop any further talks with them and protect the city! Fight them if they could!"

Kaspher's eyes fell on them. They were all 15 and, from the looks of it, they were hunters. How did he know? They all had the logo of the Hunter Association.

"What the hell..." Kaspher muttered and took out his gun. He then opened fire at them, dispersing the group.

However, even though his intention to kill them was obvious, they bizarrely liked it. They were laughing nonchalantly as they saw Kaspher as nothing but an insect.

He clicked his tongue and had no other choice but to call for reinforcements. And just after he called one, he prepared to shoot again, but he was blocked as someone appeared beside him. This person was from that group, and it was stopping him from any further action.

He was bulky and looking at him, Kaspher had no other way of fighting him. Apart from his enemies being Awakens, this person was just above the average.

"If I were you, I would not put my life on the line. It is just wasting your time, and probably your life as well."

Kaspher didn't reply and just had his thoughts rumbling inside his head. And as he looked away, he saw an opportunity to escape.

Behind this bulky person was an alleyway. And since he was the most familiar person in his own neighborhood, he was confident he could escape.

'Boss needs to know this. I must return to the building and contact him before it's too late.'

Kaspher bit his lip and sighed. And after a few seconds, he shot his gun at the bulky person. As a reaction, he covered himself to protect his life, and using this opportunity, Kaspher ran away, still firing to ensure he could reach the alleyway. Fortunately, he arrived at the alleyway, giving him the chance to lose them and reach their building.

***

Mark saw a group approaching the Blue Neighborhood. And as a message arrived at their building, to not have a conversation with them, they decided to most likely just attack them if they could. His face turned serious, with his eyebrows furrowed.

His eyes were also narrowed, giving them a discerning look and hostile intent.

As usual, this group seemed to be casual. They didn't care about their surroundings, and their purpose was still unknown. Mark then decided to check on them, but before he could approach the group, a few bullets flew at him.

With three people behind him, Mark dodged and relayed the warning to be careful. His fast reaction gave him the proper movement for his reflex. He successfully dodged the bullets but his comrade was bruised by them. 

They hid behind a huge trash bin, and looking back, Mark uttered his obvious worry words.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded in response. Mark returned his attention to the group and hissed.

His face became more serious and he then went to prepare for his attack. He looked at the other three and conversed with them about what they should do.

"They are 12, so we have to fight at least three at once, each of us. But we should be careful of their attacks. They are Awakens, so make sure all of us will still be alive."

Everyone nodded, and then, at that signal, Mark left his post and ran towards them. The other three followed him and became vigilant about the bullets. As soon as they took out their guns again, they already had the chance to dodge the bullet because they had predicted where the bullets would come straight.

Moving side to side, they dodged the bullets and had their hands reinforced with internal energy. After they had enough distance from them, they performed their moves to eventually break the group.

Within the group, Rini was included, and he had the ability to become stronger than any average human. Because of his high quality of being a warrior, his training was all around being used to pain.

And as Mark had approached him with his fist ready to punch him, he smirked and then caught the punch.

Rini moved backward from the impact, and Mark continued fighting. He then attacked others and successfully threw them against the walls. With the move that Roger taught him, he took advantage of his enemies.

However, they were still not down. They were still alive and could still get up. Mark eventually bumped into the back of his other comrades as he stood still in his position, vigilant of them.

"Ah... That was a good punch you had. It was amazing!" 

Mark looked at one person who was talking. It was Rini, and just as he got punched, his face showed a delighted expression. His masochistic personality was on again, and looking at Mark, he knew he could take another strong attack.

"You are strong. Can you punch me?" Rini said, with a breathless voice.

Mark widened his eyes, but it didn't take long until he moved forward again to attack them. They had guns. Unless he could get the guns away from them, he wouldn't be complacent. Thus, he decided to target the one with a gun, but he was blocked by Rini, creepily smiling and blocking his path.

"Where are you going? If you continue doing that, I will punch you instead."

***

In other neighborhoods, they were attacked by other groups of Awakens. But, as others didn't have any experience of fighting with an Awaken, they failed to protect their neighborhoods.

Aside from the Green, Blue, and Red Neighborhoods, deaths occurred only on the side of the Demonyo Clan in the other neighborhoods. And as this instance had already weakened their confidence, their faces were painted with despair.

The normal members of the Demonyo Clan had no other hope to lean on, as with the deaths caused by their side. Their enemies were Awakens. Meanwhile, they were just lucky to have at least two or five Awakens on their side.

But, all of those fortunate matters were useless as what was blooming was these attackers' victory.

The citizens didn't know the purpose of their attack, but they were fixated on killing the members of the gang. They were not sparing any of them. If they discover a person from the Demonyo Clan, which could be an indication of fighting against them, they would immediately kill that person.

On the other hand, the people that attacked the members of the Demonyo Clan were restless. They were only looking at the leaders of the squads, enjoying themselves while leading them to kill the defenders. And the person who was delighted the most was Nina.

Nina's face was painted with overjoy. She was looking in every direction with her wide creepy smile, looking at the despair of the people as well.

Her main weapon is a whip, and she would slam it on anyone, even if they were normal citizens. What she liked best was torturing people, hurting them with her heavy slams.

"Oh... oh... oh... That is amazing!"

Blood splattered everywhere. Nina's eyes showed extreme delight at every slap and slam she would give to anyone. And just as she saw them dying, until the last person, creating a sea of blood and also a mountain of dead bodies, her face returned to being serious.

She rolled her eyes and then faced the other squads.

"Are we done here? They were not even that enjoyable to fight with."

At her side, another leader from the other squad scoffed and then retorted at her.

"What do you mean not enjoying? Your face earlier was unable to track and paint because it would curve and wrinkle from your different expressions of delight. How could you say that it was not fun? What a joke! You are a sadistic bitch."

Nina just glared at this squad leader and rolled her eyes, ignoring him. She walked to her squad.

"We should prepare to regroup with my brother's squad. Our main target was the Blue Neighborhood." She firmly stated in front of her squad.

"Yes, ma'am."
