24 Predator II (1/2)
The small descending figure above Goosewal Village wore a simple red Balaclava to cover most of its facial features, leaving the crowd gathered under in confusion to this mysterious figure's identity.
Strands of Scarlet red dripped over its Void black eyes, revealing his identity to be of a Grace.
It had only been a few minutes since the sighting of the figure, yet news had travelled fast enough for the Village chief to scurry out of his residence.
The chief's clothing was worse than an average farmer's in Pinnacle, really showing how low Goosewal was in the development segment. The only reason this chief had been able to govern the Village so far is because of the attractive ring on his left pinky finger.
The colour reflected by the gem on the ring was a deep purple, tints of sea blue also made their way through occasionally.
It was a nail-sized King's Gem, the only thing securing the chief's rule over the village.

Nova had long since noticed and informed Nero of this, as well as pinpoint the position of everyone involved in his attempted homicide.

Slayers that had just advanced did not have the ability to use adept mana to make themselves glide for more than a minute due to their lack of ability to refine mana at a faster pace.
This did apply for Nero, but he could still easily float for an hour for only one reason.
His weight.
No one who had reached the slayer only weighed 20 Kgs, Nero's body refinement had made him evolve his body composition while ridding it of the new unnecessary body tissue.
He was a 7-year-old boy who was over 4 feet tall and weighed only 20 Kgs.
Lifting someone like him took a fraction of the force compared to what it would for the average adult.

”E-esteemed Lord, we welcome thee! To what occasion have we met to be greeted with your great presence?” The village chief spoke up, hints of clear respect, fear and shock were displayed on his face.
To him, Nero was at least a high levelled Slayer to be able to float for so long. His own level only reached to a Novice Hunter, the highest level ever reached by those birthed in the Village. Sadly, this mysterious was also birthed from the Village, only to be chased away and reach a level never seen before.
”A selection for the kind has come...” Nero said, using Nova to manipulate his voice to become unrecognisably static and deep.
”AND A MASSACRE SHALL BEFALL!” The deadly figure raised his hand, an assortment of swords formed into existence over the masses, before suddenly, with a sweep of the hand, penetrating 20 odd people precisely through their skulls, decapitating them in a flash.
Not a single target could react to their incoming demise.
There was only one target who didn't die, The Chief.
It was on purpose though, for the main purpose was to cleanly splice the left palm, which was executed flawlessly.
The blood-red sword cleanly swept up the hand and brought itself to Nero, who was gently floating near the ground.
The figure slowly removed the ring off of the blood spurting hand and wore it as his own while shock, terror, confusion and mayhem ensued.
There was not an inkling of hesitation in sending a dozen people to death's doors on Nero's mind.
It was funny how with simple justification, the humankind could convince themselves to be guilt-free, even if they had just come from committing Genocide, and honestly, to Nero, it felt comforting to Change the World with the little power he had, ridding of those he didn't approve of.
It was... pleasuring, in a way he supposed.
From what he could tell, this world was absolutely Gigantic, what was enough to call a War on Earth was definitely no more than a little clash for territory over here.
'Meh. Revenge accomplished, I guess. If Aldin was here, he'd probably scream and cry in fear of the monster I'd made of him, but other than that, in the future, I'd say he'd have been grateful.' Nero couldn't help but guess what Aldin's reaction would be like if he were to see his brethren's blood splatter everywhere.
It was crazy how fast Nero had gained power unimaginable by those on Earth and how easily he could go on a killing spree without a care in the world.
By now, all those that were uninvolved in the attempt had bolted away in fear of their lives, not one of the Hunters stayed to test their luck against a beast like Nero, the use of peak-tier basic mana on that scale had identified him as someone with the ability and skill to Slay even a handful of Hunters on his own.
