Chapter 235 - The Gate (1/2)

”So you're the guy who's been breaking all our crap, HUH!?” The short red haired man shouted

Four stood in John's path, all with their own unique characteristics. Judging by the timing and how they weren't wearing cloaks, John could tell that they weren't just another useless pawn.

A young girl who appeared to be around the same age as him held on to her doll as she stood beside three other guys

The one to her right had short purple hair with a pony tai on his back. His frame was balanced and muscular and overall, he didn't seem to have anything which stood out.

With a calm look on his face, he stared straight at John.

The one to her left was the short red-haired man who had shouted a moment ago, an angered frown was formed on his red brows under his short red hair

He began to descend the stairs with anger displayed all over his face, and the other two just waited and watched while the last one which was the one who was next to him, wanted to stop him but decided to also watch.

Long curly brown hair which covered his eyes with an innocent and fragile look on his face. He was the only one wearing a cloak, and seemed to be a few years older than John.

With each step that the red-haired man descended, a fiery gauntlet made of pure flames could be seen forming over his hands.

It was strange how he wasn't chanting but John wasn't surprised at all when he saw this.

He had already expected the higher-ranking ones to have sacred treasures.

John walked towards the Red-haired man, and the man continued to get closer and closer.

”The hell do you want here?! Do you wanna die, HUH!?”

John ignored him and walked right past him, heading straight to the gate.

”Oi... Who said that you could pass?”

After asking that he grabbed on to John's shoulder with his burning hands with a murderous look on his face. John ignoring him only pissed him off even more.

*Slash*

But the instant his hand touched John, it was cut off.

Everyone's eyes widened as they saw this, they had expected him to be strong but not to this level.

”Huh?” He unintentionally let out as he noticed what had happened

Half of his arm laid on the floor while the other half which was still intact on to his shoulder, had blood gushing out of it.

He saw it, in a split second, slash the man's arm off with his sword, but he wasn't able to react in time.

”GAAH!! ARGH... You little...”

The man grabbed on to the part of his arm which had blood pouring out of it and began squeezing it.

”AAARGH!!!”

He was able to completely stop the bleeding, but right when he did, he suddenly felt the whole world turn upside down.

As his head rolled on the ground, his body fell to floor.

”Get in my way, and I'll kill you all.” As he said that, electric sparks could be seen flowing around him.

John hadn't looked at anyone, there was no need. he only stared at the gate. He was still giving them the option to be spared, whether they accepted it or not was up to them.

After saying that, John lowered his dagger and began walking towards the staircase, it was then that he noticed it.

The purple haired man was nowhere to be seen, while the curly brown-haired boy had his arms stretched out.

Seeing this, John let out a sigh before looking back.

His body was being clouded engulfed in a dark flame which began to take the shape of an armour.

The armour then began to attach his ripped off arm and head back on to his body, before he stood up.

There was no doubt that he was dead, John could feel his life force seep away from him, so then how could his body still move?

As john wondered this, he remembered something.
