Chapter 64 - Gushing Wound (1/2)
It never mattered whether or not Simon could successfully kill all of the gang members, in his head, he only saw a single target. The rest of the gang were simply barriers that he could remove, if he didn't want to bother, the guards would do it for him. However, taking on such a high level opponent is very a terrible idea. Even with his power, what can he do?
”One down, take their flanks and take them down one by one. I will deal with Ripper.” Simon told Lenn as he jumped from the balcony and dashed towards Ripper. Like an acrobat, he glided through the air and perfectly landed on the ground, continuing on with no trouble. Seeing his target in sight, he also saw five or so gang members blocking his path. In an open garden, Simon had little advantage of stealth, but he had increase manoeuvrability as a result. With this, he strafed to the left while spinning his body, releasing a stream of chaotic energy daggers which all ripped through their intended targets; putting holes in every single one of the five gang members.
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
With this sudden ambush, the battle had officially begun. The guards had started their offensive, brutally ambushing the gang members under the gentle shine of the moon, utterly decimating them. Being only 4th or 3rd ranked, the gang members were easily slaughtered, but Ripper would not be so easy to deal with. Surrounding him, the guards and Simon had already separated the hostages from Ripper, ensuring a more easy fight for them. Without a doubt, this would be a gruelling battle, with an uncertain forecast of victory.
”Haha! More dogs for me to slaughter! Come at me, and die by my blade!” Ripper laughed as he drew his heavy blade and swung it around. Using his overwhelming strength, he stomped on the floor and caused a huge crack in the ground to form. In a half-crouching stance, Ripper readied himself to kill.
”DIE.” Simon immediately rushed forth with his daggers orbiting in a spiralling pattern. With eyes as furious as the sun, Simon glared at this hulking devil, wishing for the latter's demise.
SHAAA
The daggers flew in many directions, but all targeting at Ripper. Each dagger sped their way towards the gang leader, but none touched his body. With the motion of his blade, Ripper deflected Simon's attacks, dissipating the daggers into thin air.
”Take my strike.” Ripper dashed forward with his hulking body, pushing past the guards and entering melee range with Simon. Using his strength, Ripper slammed his sword down at Simon, who dodged to the right just in the nick of time. But before Simon could dodge again, Ripper moved his blade in a spinning motion towards Simon. Without much options, Simon attempted to counter the assault by dodging underneath Ripper.
SLASH
Simon rolled underneath Ripper's legs, using this opportunity to generate two daggers to slash at Ripper's legs. But without much strength, Simon could not penetrate Ripper's tempered body, only scratching the thinnest layers of his skin instead.
”Master! Let us handle this!” Lenn shouted as he and the guards leapt forward and aimed their swords at Ripper. Using swarm tactics, they surrounded him in midair and each aimed for a vital organ. But with his superior senses and experience, Ripper only needed to wave his arm to slap the away from him.
SL.A.P
The guards were impacted by a huge force, all being pushed back and crashing down onto the earth. Without any of them being of the 6th rank, this was all they could amount to; mere bugs.
