153 Smile (1/2)

A black blade extended from the top of Rufus' right wrist. The blade was surrounded by red bolts of current.

Rufus leaped up with his blade cutting forward toward his enemy. The floor shook and the air trembled as the blade rushed ahead.

It was like the blade was capable of destroying everything in its path.

”Take this!” Rufus shouted as the blade arrived in front of Kiba.

Kiba raised his hand and moved his thumb and index finger forward to intercept the blade.

BOOM

A storm of chaotic energy exploded out filled with red bolts of current. The tiles shattered in fragments and the debris hovered in the air.

”No way,” Rufus' face turned deathly pale.

Time set to come in a standstill with his blade caught in between a thumb and index finger. Ripples of pressure manifested from the fingers and passed on the blade.

CRACK~

The blade cracked apart like a mirror falling on the ground. The ripples of pressure passed through the blade into Rufus.

”AHH!” Rufus cried in misery.

A destructive force coursed into his body, ripping apart his veins. His organs dislocated from their original position while his nervous system turned numb from pain.

THUD~

He fell on his knees with every part of his body bleeding.

”Hmm?” Kiba turned his face.

Yuizi was dashing at him with her claw ripping through the air. The claw carried a cold glint as it rushed towards Kiba's throat.

Kiba moved his hand slowly and caught the claw as if it was nothing more than a lady's hand.

”You were beautiful before you transformed,” Kiba glanced at her transformed hands full of scales, ”But now you're just ugly.”

He twisted her claw and pushed it toward her face.

”DON'T---”

Yuzi's begging soon turned into screams. Her own claw gashed through her face ripping apart her skin and flesh.

”Now your face matches your body,” Kiba said as he let go of her claw.

”NOOOO!” Yuzi cried with blood-stained eyes.

She morphed her hands into normal and then traced her face. All she could feel was five deep cuts on her face revealing her inner flesh.

The face was a woman's most adored treasure. Now the same treasure was destroyed without any conscience and turned into something hideous.

”Excuse me,” Kiba pushed his hand in another direction, ”I have to give attention to your ape companion.”

Simon was high in the air with his fist aimed at Kiba's head. He felt it was the perfect opportunity to strike Kiba when he was occupied with Yuzi.

But now he felt a chill down his spines as he heard his words. He gritted his teeth and transferred his entire strength on his fist.

”It is now or never,” Simon thought. From the last five minutes, the seven of them has felt life turning into hell.

Kiba would defeat them and slice their bodies apart. Before they could die, he would heal them to their initial condition.

This was the third round and none of them wished to experience the near-death state.

Simon's punch twisted the air with sparks flowing in all directions. He has bet everything on this strike.

”Judging from your ape body, no human women would ever be interested in you,” Kiba said as he raised an index finger to meet the punch, ”So you must be copulating with real gorillas and apes?”

”Motherfucker!” Simon shouted while his fist smashed onto Kiba's finger.

Terrifying energy waves radiated out from the point of contact. The entire warehouse was filled with intense rumbling sounds and dust cloud as the floor wrecked open and the walls shattered.

Rufus, Yuzi, and the other three companions gazed at the dense smoke cloud with some hope.

They didn't expect Kiba to be killed but they prayed he would at least be injured enough for them to escape.

From years they have undertaken strict taking to tackle enemies but never before they have been taught on how to face a man like Kiba.

He would batter them till they almost die and then heal them to their previous state. All the while he would taunt them with words.

The seven have seen the smirk he would have on his face when he slices apart their bodies. There was hatred in his eyes but yet, not for a moment, they felt that he didn't take joy in their plight.

Swoosh~!

The smoke cloud ripped apart and the two figures were revealed. One was lying down with his limbs spread while another one was standing without least bit of injury.

”Not again!”

”Just why?”

”Just what is he?”

”How can the world have such a being?”

The revolutionaries wanted to curse their luck for facing him.

How can the world have such a powerful mutant without anyone knowing about him?!

”I assume I was right,” Kiba said while he took a step forward. Knowingly or unknowingly, his foot landed on Simon's chest.

CRUNCH!

”AHHHHHH!”

Simon released a blood-wrenching scream with his body releasing bone-fracturing sound. He felt as if he has been struck by the load of a mountain.

”Oops,” Kiba said with a smirk, ”I forgot you were in front of me.”

LIAR!

Simon tried to curse but alas, all he could do was spray out a mouthful of blood.

Yuizi and others looked at Kiba with terror-filled eyes.

They felt they weren't wrong!

He truly took pleasure in toying with them!

”He is a sadist!” Yuizi concluded with her voice containing dread, ”Sadist to the bone!”

If the gods have to make him powerful than it was still fine, no matter how ridiculously strong he was!

But making him a sadist?
