"Boss, do you think this is a good idea?" A man asked, staring at the Boss' back.
The young man fixed his gaze at the horizon, staring at the explosion under the night sky.
"Do you think this is a bad idea?" The Boss asked, and added:
"We already made a decision, are you backing out?"
"No, but shouldn't the others be back by now?" The third man asked.
The three stood on the city wall, staring at the explosion.
BOOOM!!
"...?"
They were stunned as an electromagnetic wave exploded from the distance... They watched as it moved towards the city, and smashed into it, instantly shutting all electronics down... Plunging the city into darkness.
"This?!"
The man at the right was stunned.
"That... Those lowlifes have an EMP?" The one at the left was flabbergasted.
The Boss watched as all the battle spaceships dropped from the sky, one at a time, exploding on impact.
"Something isn't right." He muttered, his gaze fixed on the blue plasma bullets.
"Illusion and Cold-hammer didn't take any plasma guns... Then who is shooting that?" He asked in confusion.
"The plan was to kill Nicolas, he is the strongest in the group, do any of you think something went wrong?" The man on the left asked.
"That is the only explanation." The leader said as the fighting cease.
"Did they win?" The one at the right asked in confusion.
The leader exhaled, and turned around, facing the two:
"Send word---"
WHOOSH!
Hearing the sound, the leader turned around, seeing two objects flying towards them.
BAM!
BAM!
The objects rolled for some seconds and stopped before the three.
"Illusion!!"
"Cold-hammer!!"
The two behind exclaimed in mild horror, while the leader's expression turned cold.
He slowly raised his head to the sky, seeing a figure with two crimson eyes descending towards them.
"Who?!! Who are you?!" The man at the right asked.
Whoosh!
A beam of light shot out from the figure's eyes, cutting off the head of the man who had just spoken.
".....?!!!"
"This?!"
The two were dumbfounded.
"How dare you!!!"
The man at the left summoned his sword, and shot into the air, slashing at Sunny's head.
"DIE!!"
BAM!
".....??"
He stared at the claws holding his blade in confusion... Then turned his head to the figure, staring at the two glowing red eyes.
"No!!"
The leader stood on the wall, and watched transfixed as the stranger cut off his last lord's head with his eyes beam.
{Master killed a Half heavenly rank warrior.}
{And gained 1,000 EXP.}
{Total EXP: 15,200.}
"Who really are you?! As far as I know, we have never offended you, so why are you attacking us? You even killed all my lords!" He yelled.
"Are you the leader of this city?" Sunny asked, his voice reverberating all over the city, drawing everyone's attention, both inside their houses and on the streets.
"Yes!" The leader yelled, and added:
"We have no enmity with you! So why are you attacking us?!" He yelled.
"Have no enmity with me?!"
Sunny descended, landing calmly on the wall, his gaze fixed on the leader:
"My wife came here and gave you a good offer... And even time to think about it; But Instead of accepting, or rather rejecting... You went to the extent of killing her... Now! Do we have any enmity?" He asked cold.
"This?"
The leader was stunned:
"I... We thought... She is just the queen of a small nation, who are always hunted by the Wendigos! How could she have so much money?!" He asked, taking a step backward in shock.
"Do you think she alone could make Nicolas and Blood eye submit?!" Sunny asked with a frown.
"She... Is she dead?" He stammered.
"I am not obliged to answer the question of a dead man." Sunny said, his tone cold.
"So you are here to kill me and take over my city?" The leader asked with a frown.
"No... I no longer need your city, you lost that privilege." Sunny answered.
"What?! So you want to kill everyone?!!"
"Yes!"
Sunny answered with an indifferent expression. His words instantly causing chaos and panic in the city.
"I won't let you!!"
Sunny watched as the leader brought out a purple circular object and smashed it on his chest... From the edges, it started expanding, and in seconds, the leader was clad in a purple armor, and a long broadsword in hand.
"I won't go down without a fight!"
Before he could move, Sunny appeared in front of him, placed his palm on the leader's face, and whispered in his ears:
"You should be happy I am personally dealing with you."
With a downward movement, he smashed the leader's straight to the ground.
BOOOM!!
The impact cracked the wall, while the leader vomited a mouthful of blood.
"You?! But my armors!"
"They are useless against me!"
Sunny grabbed his neck, and raised him into the air:
"I won't kill you yet... You should watch your city burn."
He snapped his fingers and a dark vortex appeared above their heads, covering the entire city.
The leader watched in horror as countless flaming meteorites dropped from the vortexes, dropping on the city.
The inhabitants instantly went into panic, rushing to the doors and gates, but to their horror, everything was locked by an invisible force.
"NOOO!!"
"AHHHHH!!!"
"HELP ME!!!"
"MY BABIES!!"
"SOMEONE SAVE MY CHILD!!"
"AHHHH!!"
The leader listened to the screams of his people and turned to Sunny, and said with difficulty:
"You... They are more than two hundred children in there! Newborns and teenagers! Can... Can you bear so much blood on your hands!!"
"In a settlement, village, town, dukedom, city, kingdom, country, empire and even a planet... The lives of its people are determined by the Leader's choices... If you have made the choice of joining me, these people will naturally follow me! But you made the other choice, which resulted to their death!" He paused and said to the people:
"All of you, listen quietly! Your death is due to your leaders' bad decision, and your willingness to support them! In your next life, know who you take as your leader! No matter what happens today, all of you will die!!"
Hearing his words, the leader and all the people lost hope, they all sat their, hugging their loved once, friends, Children and relatives, crying as the meteorites get closer to them.
WHOOSH!
The leader looked up as lava poured down from the vortex, and simultaneously, both the lava and meteorites smashed into the city, instantly filling it up, and killing every single soul in it.
The leader lowered his head as tears run down his cheeks, he now regretted his decision.
"Thank you." He said.
"Why are you thanking me?" Sunny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"For giving them a painless death." The leader said.
Sunny stared at him for some seconds, and exerted force, breaking his neck... And with a toss of his hand, he threw the body into the flames.
"Another who crossed me will have the same fate." He said, staring at the lava filled city.
{Congratulations Master for killing.....}
{Calculating kills and EXP.}
{Master killed a total of 6,670 people.}
{Master gained 280,006 EXP.}
{Does master want to break through?}

[Back at the settlement.]
Nicolas, Blood eye, Nioh and all the soldiers stood with widened eyes and opened jaws, staring at the flames in the distance.
"The King just destroyed the city in less than ten minutes." Nicolas muttered in awe.
"Wow... He is so amazing! Thank goodness I joined him." Blood eye said.
"You guys! He just killed innocent people!" Nioh said in shock, not knowing why the two were happy.
"Innocent? They are all pirates, they will grow up to become one..." Nicolas said, turned around and walked away.
"Yes... If it was up to them, we will face worse." Blood eye said.
"....?!!"
Nioh just stared at the two, completely speechless.

[Back to Morgana.]
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in."
Morgana sat on her dining table, a plate of soup was placed before her.
The door opened, and Jade walked inside... Her three eyes scanning the room.
Her gaze fell on the huge pot in the kitchen, and raised an eyebrow seeing a human hand sticking out from it.
"Jade? Shouldn't you be in your nation? Why are you here?" Morgana asked with a frown.
Jade moved her gaze to the soup on Morgana's plate, seeing a human finger inside:
"You are sick." She muttered.
"Oh... You are staring at my food? You want some?"
"No!!" Jade quickly refused, her forehead furrowed.
"Ok then... You are missing out." Morgana took the finger in her plate, and ate it:
"I like eating humans more... They have more celestial energy in their bones than any other part of their body... That's why the Wendigos will do anything to have their flesh.
"Please Stop! I came here because I got some intel! A guy named Nioh entered your building! I want to know where he is!" She yelled coldly.
Morgana placed the half-eaten finger in her soup, and looked up at Jade, her gaze cold:
"Are you yelling at me??" She asked coldly.
"...?!"
Jade was stunned.
