7 Baptism of Blood (2/2)
No matter how aloof they seemed on the outside, towards the people they cared for, they would show a warmth that was a sharp contrast to how they were to the rest. ”They deserve to die! Those bastards deserve to die!” Luna hugged them tighter as he rubbed their backs trying to comfort them, as he looked at the tied up thugs with eyes that showed no mercy and only replied with two words, ”I know.”
Sura noticed his expression, and couldn't help but think in her head that she was lucky to have been summoned by Luna and not anyone else. Quick to adapt, valued his relationships with his friends highly, kind, yet to the people who deserved it, he could show such resolute eyes. She knew these thugs were done for, she just didn't expect how Luna was about to do it.
As the group of ten men started to wake up, they couldn't help but show fear in their eyes, one way or another, their ending was not going to be good.
Luna looked at his party, and especially made eye contact with everybody but Sura.
”One way or another, I'm sure you somehow guess it would come to his. In this new world, humanity's darkest side, some far more disgusting than what these men have shown is bound to pop up all over the place.”
The rest couldn't help but grip their weapons tightly, as Apple clenched her fists and tried to even our her breathing as Luna continued, ”See, even the most vile of monsters would look pitiful when they get caught by people stronger than them. The more cunning ones would try to play off of your sense of pity, and when you let them go, they'll come back to either kill you, or kill those close to you.”
Hearing this, the group of thugs started shaking their heads and pleading with their eyes.
”I'm not going to force you guys to kill, but if you can't show m--” but before he could finish his speech, Luna was suddenly interrupted. ”CHAIN LIGHTNING!” Apple suddenly sent an arc of electricity that chained to 5 of the thugs tied up, one tick of damage was enough to kill the five, then she stopped before it chained to the rest, leaving five charred corpses.
”Apple, you..” the gang was shocked as it all happened too fast. Apple bowed slightly as she said, ”I will not hesitate. I will not take the risk of possibly losing my brother or my new friends. I promise I won't be a liability, but an asset to our survival in this new world. I promise I won't bully the innocent no matter how strong I get, but I won't be so naive either. ”
Luna couldn't help but walk up to Apple, put his hand on her shoulder, and nodded in approval.
The rest followed suit, Luna, Sura, Mabini, and Boni who borrowed an Itak Tagalog, beheaded the other four. They made their deaths quick and painless.
Maria and Clara walked towards Eduardo, crossed their blades by his neck, and after looking at the panic and tears in his eyes, sliced his head right off. The whole team had blood sprayed over them.
It was like a baptism of blood into the new world.
