Brick Norty walked step by step at the twenty-five degu users that had their eyes on him. He could see that they didn't have fear or any emotions in their eyes. This made him bored, as he likes to see the despair and helplessness of his victims.
Suddenly, a man sighed and step forward, which immediately drew the attention of degu users. The man has clear blue eyes, an average nose, a small face, messy black hair, thin eyebrows, and a fair complexion. He wore a brown trench coat, dark blue jeans, white gloves, and wooden slippers.
"Do you really want to die just like this? Damn it! This isn't a manly way to die! I'll die fighting instead of waiting for death like this. We are degu users! At least we have to die with dignity."
Just as he said this, he charged at the monster. Although he didn't have remaining degu energy. His body was way physical stats were way stronger than a normal human as he was a C rank degu user.
The man arrived beside the monster and curled his hands into a fist. Then he jumped high up in the air and reached the monster to the head level.
When he saw the monster look up in derision, the man swung his fist and aimed at the left eye of the monster. 'I have to at least take one of your eyeballs before I die!'
THUD!
The man looked at the sharp tentacles that penetrated his chest. It pierced his heart ruthlessly. Then he looked at his fist that stopped midway.
'I can finally rest now. At least I died while fighting, right?' A smile appeared on the man's face before his eyes closed.
Brick Norty snorted and absorbed the man's vitality. Then he grabbed the man with his tentacles and threw him on the side of the wall like trash.
"There's no space for scraps in this stadium."
BANG!
The wall cracked as the man's dried corpse collided. In a second, the corpse turned into ashes and scattered in the air.
Seeing the man's passionate death and how the monster rudely treated the man's body enraged the group of degu users.
At the same time, it stimulated their dormant fighting spirit. Since they would die, why not die with dignity?
"Damn monster! You'll pay for all the things that you did!!"
"Fuck it! That guy is right! Since we're going to die, anyway. We put up a fight like a man in the end! I don't want my end to be pathetic!!'"
"Die!"
The group of degu users shouted one after another and charged at the monster in a frenzy.
"What a bunch of idiots." Eugene shook his head. Then he activated his powers.
The time flow on his body became faster, which made the surrounding in his perspective becomes slow. The movements of the monster and the people look like a snail in his eyes.
If he wants, he could actually kill the monster. But he didn't want to, because he wants society to experience pain. Just like how they made him suffer in the past. With that, Eugene disappeared.
...
The monster had an evil grin on his face as he faced the degu user that rushed towards him madly. "Well, since you want to die that badly. I'll gladly send you in the way!"
Brick Norty entered his speed form again. His degu energy was already filled to the brim after he absorbed the vitality of degu users he killed. And he could also feel he that was getting closer and closer to his ascension, but he knew that it must be his illusion.
He raised his arms in the air which reflected a cold glint. In his speed form, his arms always turn into a scythe-like those of a mantis which was sharp enough to cut diamonds.
Then he waved it to a bald man that suddenly appeared behind him. The man didn't dodge but greeted his attack bravely.
'What does he intend to do?' Brick Norty shook his head.
His attack arrived and divided the bald man in half. But he didn't stop. He used the force on his feet and charged at the next man like an arrow that was pulled by a bowstring.
Brick Norty thrust the tip of the blades in his hand toward the man's forehead. With the speed he moves, his target couldn't even raise his hand to block.
With that, his arms went through the man's head effortlessly. The hard skull couldn't even offer a bit of resistance on his sharp scythe.
Just like that, Brick Norty divided all the degu users single-handedly. The degu users didn't back down in the face of death in their final moments. Although didn't even manage to land a hit. All of them died with relief on their faces.
The crowd of normal people became numb at this scene. It was like a butcher slaughtering pig. And they knew that they are the next pigs that would be slaughtered.
Some of them on the other hand only closed their eyes. Most of them were parents. They are already grateful that their kids are safe.
"Now it's your turn." The monster licked the dripping blood on his arms with a smirk.
THUD THUD THUD
Each step of the monster echoed throughout the stadium which made the hearts of the crown beat faster. In the face of death, now anyone can face it calmly like the degu users. After all, they are only normal humans.
Despair, helplessness, anger, relief, and numbness. The monster saw different kinds of emotions in the humans in front of him, unlike the degu users he killed before.
A smirk made its way onto his face. 'This is what I want to see.'
Under the terrified eyes of the crowd. The monster instantly appeared closer to them and countless tentacles emerged from its back. "Do all of you have last words?"
"Fuck you!" A muscular man clenched his fist and swung it toward the monster.
"Never mind." One of the tentacles stretched out and enveloped the man's head, then crushed it ruthlessly.
The sound of a skull breaking resounded, and the head exploded into a blood mist with chunks of flesh that flew in different directions.
