Chapter 80 - #79 Putolu Tombs 2 (2/2)
My eyes became even colder.
”Like hell, I would go with it!” Poney shouted with disgusted expression while readying herself to fight many opponents.
”You won't have much of a choice...Anyway, I might actually keep you as my pet, boy. Since everyone is having fun, it feels like I am being left out, hehe.” She replied to Poney's disagreement with an indifferent tone before taking a closer look at me.
”I will take care of the girl, all of you, go restrain that boy, be careful not to kill him or I will break your bones, heh.” She said with a small chuckle.
”Yes, Umber-sama!” all Gravekeepers replied and started approaching us.
”*Tch, what should we do?*” Poney whispered to me while gritting her teeth.
I was already angered enough from that ”Umber's” words.
”*Take care of that girl, leave others to me...*” I found some strength to reply in a whisper before taking a step forward with a smirk while looking a bit down, hiding my expression.

'What?! How does he want to take care of around a hundred opponents alone?! Whatever...Akashi said that he will do it so I can only try to quickly take care of that girl. However, she will be difficult to crack with those 5 skulls...she must be strong.' Poney thought with narrowed eyes while moving to the side away from the Akashi and none of the approaching Gravekeepers dared to even lay their eyes on her.

”?” The Gravekeeper named Umber looked confused since Akashi and Poney actually went with her plan without trying to run away.
”What are you doing?!” She shouted at them.
*Crack* Akashi buried his sword into the ground in front of him and rested both of his hands on the hilt.
”1...2...3 skulls at most, huh?” Akashi muttered aloud while raising his head to show enlarged vertical pupils.
The Gravekeepers in the first line closest to Akashi gulped down their saliva in a nervous manner.
'?! What happened to his pupils? Does he have a similar ability to us?' Umber thought with a calm face but she couldn't the pressure the other Gravekeepers were feeling at the moment.
”Stop standing there like idiots and restrain him already!” Umber shouted and others finally woke up, pouncing at Akashi with different transformations.
'?! Shouldn't I really help Akashi after all?!' Poney thought with a difficult expression, she was hesitant whether to help Akashi or try to quickly end her fight with the girl in front of her.
”Allow me to show to all of you...how big is...our difference” Akashi said with contempt in his eyes while a few sparks suddenly escaped from his enlarged pupils.

[Contempt for the Weak - activated]
With the Absolute Dominance activated, my limiters were also removed on their own.
I gripped the hilt of my sword and disappeared from my position while leaving only a few cracks on the surface under my legs.
”Wha-!” With the first swing of my sword, 5 heads were sent to the air.
The others quickly recovered and attacked me with their abilities, ink, water or even needles. I didn't bother to dodge these attacks since everything evaporated in front of my shield of flames.
”?!” The guy who fired a few needles from his fur suddenly widened his eyes when he noticed my eyes turn at him.
He tried to retreat far away behind his other teammates but I already appeared behind him with my expressionless face.
[Health: 700/750]
I let my sword drink my blood through spikes and send a wave of crimson energy in horizontal arc right through that guy's body, aiming at other Gravekeepers.
”AAGHH!” A few of them were able to dodge but most of them ended up with their upper body sliding off of their legs.
In just 2 swings of my sword, more than 15 Gravekeepers died under my sword.
The screams just began resounding inside the hall, this was by no means the end and I went forward for a more of them. However, despite the differences, they kept attacking me in the hope that they can injure me at least once.
---On the side---
”What?!” Umber looked at the situation when she heard screams and was shocked when she saw how quickly her lackeys were dying.
She suddenly felt an attack incoming from her right side so she nimbly dodged backward.
”Your opponent is me! Don't take off your eyes of me!” Poney shouted with a confident smile.
'...I have never thought that Akashi is so strong. They are unable to even touch him yet he is playing around with them. ”Allow me to show to all of you...how big is...our difference”...He is certainly fulfilling his words. But it looks like he is also slightly angered...is it because of what that bitch said about prisoners?' Poney thought with a confident smile across her face but she deep inside she was extremely shocked by Akashi's killing spree.
