518 Their Inevitable Death, The Blinding Light in the Darkness (1/2)
Day 127 - 6:29 PM - Hamilton Commons, Mays Landing, Hamilton Township, New Jersey, United States of America
From the cloudy sky, snow started to fall.
Mark stared at the fat man in front of him while amidst his jump. Although he said out loud that these people were useless, that was not entirely true. Mark just said those words to mess up with the minds of these people. After all, with the display, he had shown them, if he judged them as worthless, it would shrink their ego and increase the fear in their hearts.
Well, it was not entirely wrong, either. Mark was already able to fight with lower deity levels to some extent. Compared to those enemies, the ones in front of him were nowhere close to ants.
However, Mark was an Empath. Although it was unpleasant to absorb other people's emotions without control, it was still satisfying if he was the one that inflicted the fear they were feeling, especially from his enemies.
This kind of satisfaction might probably be one of the reasons why demons loved to inflict despair to their unfortunate victims.
And due to this fear, most people were likely to lose their senses.
Pretty much like the situation right now.
Unable to control their fears, the men under the fat man aimed their guns at Mark. They already knew that there would be no effect. However, they still did as their reasoning weakened.
Furthermore, they even disregarded what was behind and in front of Mark.
BANG! RATATATATATA!
Another round of gunshots sounded. The accuracy of the shots was way worse than before. Even the fat pig that was currently close to Mark got hit with the bullets to everyone's surprise.
Still, Mark's blurry visage remained unscathed. Unexpectedly, it was the same for the fat man.
The building behind Mark, however, the headquarters of these raiders, turned into a beehive. It was just a small area, and it was not enough to do considerable damage to the shopping mall, however, with how the people inside were screaming and shouting, some of the bullets might have flown inside the building. Possibly, important things or even people got hit.
”You bastard! Watch out where you are shooting!”
Sir Kesser shouted in rage. If not for him being a Mutator, the bullets from his subordinates might have already turned him into swiss cheese. Luckily, his regular human form was already impervious to bullets.
Still, for the fat pig, their enemy right now was very tricky.
However, when Sir Kesser physically attacked earlier, Mark avoided it.
The fat pig was violent, lustful, and impulsive. Nevertheless, no one among the raiders would be able to deny that Sir Kesser was a fast thinker despite his appearance.
Thus, Mark avoiding that attack gave him a quick idea that he could try.
The moment that Mark landed on the ground, the punch was already coming towards his face.
Mark tilted his head to the right. The swift punch from the fat pig passed over his left shoulder, bringing heavy wind pressure with it.
When Mark avoided his second attack, Sir Kesser fully believed his misunderstanding. He thought that bullets might not be able to harm the enemy in front of them, but direct attacks like this could.
TAP! TAP!
As that thought entered his mind, Sir Kesser heard two taps in front of him. That was when he realized that the man he attacked grabbed his outstretched arm amidst its devastating punch.
The punch had yet to stop. As Sir Kesser felt the hands of the enemy, he immediately tried to pull his arm back.
However, before he was able to do so, he felt his body rising from the back of the military jeep.
The veins on the arms and feet of Mark glowed brightly in the dark snowy night. Then, using the force from the missed attack of Sir Kesser, along with the strength accumulated from his blood, without holding back, he twisted his body and faced backward with the arm in his grasp. Bending his body down, Mark pulled the right wrist of Sir Kesser.
In the next split second, everyone stared in disbelief.
The more than six-hundred pounds, Sir Kesser, was hurled fiercely towards the face of the shopping mall.
BAM!!! CRASH!!! CRUMBLE!!!
The force of the throw and the weight of Sir Kesser's body caused the barricades along with the wall of the shopping mall to crumble.
A large, crumbling hole was made on the face of the building, scattering dust in the vicinity.
That display of strength caused some of the raiders' knees to weaken.
Among these fifty people, aside from Sir Kesser, there were three other Mutators. There were also seven Evolvers.
Like Sir Kesser, they thought that the bullets had no effect. Thus, they all rushed forwards to make direct attacks at the enemy.
The first to arrive was the fastest one of them, Hyena. Using his fur-covered hands and sharp claws, he swiped at the enemy. Unfortunately, the attack he made missed miserably. His arm continued on its trajectory, and he tried to attack with his other hand. But he froze.
Where were his arms?
BAM!
Hyena was sent flying, splattering blood along the way. Both his arms were suddenly gone. He was bleeding profusely from the stumps that were left of his arms.
The others that attacked were not in good shape either.
Any part of their body that they used to attack was dismembered. One of the Mutators immediately died with his head was missing.
”I remember you.”
They heard Mark speak. He was looking at Hyena that was staring at him in both shock and fear.
”You're the other one that tailed behind us, right?”
Hyena's eyes turned wide. His already pale complexion from the loss of blood became even paler.
From the start, their targets knew that they were being tailed. No wonder that their leader would appear here.
Then, what of Wolf, who stayed to keep an eye on them.
Then, as if reading his mind, Mark spoke to Hyena.
”Are you thinking about the other guy you left behind?”
There, everyone was already shocked, but still, they could not help but have their hearts beat louder.
A black hole appeared in front of their enemy and took out something from it.
”Don't worry, you will follow this guy.”
Mark said to Hyena as he held out Wolf's decapitated head that was still dripping with blood.
These people were Mutators. He could take their abilities. However, since Mark rushed here, he had no time to get this guy's Mutator ability yet. Thus, he took the head and put it inside his [Space Ring].
Nevertheless, even though it was not his intended use of it, the decapitated head was able to inflict more mental damage to these people.
