Chapter 17：The Terrifying Mount Spirit Sword Asylum (1/2)
”Wha... What is that?!”
Rose cried out loud and she directly keeled backward and lost her consciousness from shock.
Jane also collapsed from fear into Scarlette's embrace.
”Shit! Stay back!” Calvin instantly shot up from his couch and ran towards the door.
He slammed the door shut, dragged Rose by her arm— and leaped towards the furthers corner of the room.
”Hide in the corners! Stay crouched, don't move and don't make a sound!”
Calvin gave his orders.
But everything happened so fast and the others were still blankly staring at the closed door.
Bang!
A heavy set of footsteps rang just outside the doors.
”Hurry up! Hide now!”
Calvin rushed towards the light switch and slapped the lights off.
The light was abruptly extinguished and Jane let out a scared yelp.
Sweat poured down Calvin's forehead as he leaped into the corner where the unconscious Rose laid.
He covered her mouth and remained crouching.
Bang!
A booming sound rang out.
But this time, the sound didn't come from footsteps.
Instead, the crashing sound came from the door that was abruptly destroyed by someone.
”Hieek!” Jane was rudely awakened by the crash, and she let out a yelp.
Thankfully, Scarlette swiftly covered her mouth and not a sound came out.
”Don't make a sound...” Scarlett softly whispered into Jane's ears.
Jane gulped a mouthful of saliva.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to cry but in order to survive.
She knew that she must endure the fear in her heart.
Thud!
A dull footstep rang out.
The footstep didn't sound as heavy as it did before.
But Calvin's pupils constricted when he heard that sound that he could never forget in his life.
It was because that distinct footstep came from special shoes that only belonged to a single person in the entire Asylum!
It was that Butcher!
Calvin's mind madly spun.
The Butcher was an absolute monster in the Mount Spirit Sword Asylum!
He was supposed to appear in the later stages of the final phase when the participants had just used the security access keycard that they had just collected from the Administration Block to access the elevator and get down to the ground floor.
From what Calvin could remember back then...
The Butcher would stick his hand into the elevator and try to stop it with his bare hands. However, he would end up dying and split in half due to the immense strength of the elevator as it goes down to the ground floor.
That was the end of the Butcher!
His appearance was brief, yet he annihilated more than half of Calvin's teammates back then!
Not only he was faster than any of them, but he also possessed superhuman strength and durability. He could easily pick up a full-grown adult and pluck their head off their shoulders!
'Why is the Butcher here?! But if it's really him...'
Despite the dangerousness of the situation, Calvin never panicked.
As far as he could remember, even though the Butcher was undetectable. He had one fatal flaw.
He was useless in the dark.
He couldn't see anything while in the dark.
Of course, the place has to be incredibly dark.
Thankfully, Calvin ordered his teammates to hide in the furthest corners of this room as he turned off the lights.
Thud!
Another dull footstep rang out.
”Twinkle... Twinkle... Little star... How I wonder... What you are... ”
”Up above the clouds so high... Like a diamond in the sky...”
”Twinkle... Twinkle... Little star...”
'Fuck... This big fucking guy is singing....'
'This means that he knows of our presence but can't exactly pinpoint where we are...'
Sweat poured down Calvin's forehead like a waterfall as his mind went into overdrive.
He tightly held Rose's mouth, so she wouldn't make any sound.
Calvin stared right at the Butcher.
His appearance didn't change at all.
He seemed to be overweight, yet muscular at the same time. The overweight part of him was his bloated stomach littered with stretch marks and his muscular part was displayed by his massively powerful arms and legs. He hated the smell of filth so he tore off his nose and there was this eerie permanent sneer on his face.
But despite his terrifying ugliness.
