Chereads / The Locked System / Chapter 45 - Betrayal

Chapter 45 - Betrayal

Hayato was seeing the Heroes with a cold face, completely ignoring their reaction but in his mind, he was in doubt after he saw their faces

' Why are they here?... Maybe the God of this world chose them to make me doubt, Hmph, he couldn't be more wrong, this will be a great opportunity to cut my ties with them, but ' Hayato sees one of the Heroines and thinks ' I don't want to hurt her, but if she attacks me I will not have another option '

" They are mine, don't move or talk to me in the meantime " Whispered Hayato in a very cold and soft voice that only Wade, Dye, and Alyra could hear

Hayato puts his left hand under his robe then he appeared his katana again and walked a couple of steps in front of Alyra, Wade, and Dye

Wade moves his eyes to see him, he didn't say anything but he can feel that Hayato had a great resentment towards the Heroes

" Ok " Dye whispered with surprise

" What's wrong? " Alyra whispered with a confused voice

" Sasuke Uchiha! he must be..! he must be the enemy that God wants us to eliminate! but.. but how we can beat him! and why is he here!? he shouldn't exist! " Akira yelled in deny

" Calm down you f*cking idiot! Sasuke had a great weakness when he was with Akatsuki! we just need to use it in our favor! " Maya yelled at him as she takes her sword with her right hand

Akira turns to see her with a surprised face " You mean his Mangekyou Sharingan! "

" Yes! if we can make him overuse it, he will go blind! " Maya said with a cold face

" But in the process, he could kill us all! " Akira yelled with a very tense face

" ..... " Maya didn't say anything, she only bites her lower lip in frustration but after a second she made a face full of resolution

The young blond man and the knights made scared faces when their strongest partners were behaving like that, but none of them said anything until Kaori approaches Akira

Kaori pulls Akira's sleeve and spoke with a nervous smile " Why are you two are acting like that? hey... tell me Akira-Kun? "

" You are just a dumb b*tch, no? tell me something, you spent all of your life in a cave or something " Maya answered her with a cold voice

" Don't speak to me " Kaori turned to see Maya with anger

" What? Does the truth hurt? b*tch " Maya made a mocking smile

" Grr " Kaori becomes angrier after Maya's cruel words but when she was about to speak Akira say

" He... he is an Anime character, someone fictional, but as you can see, he is now right in front of us " Akira was in a daze seeing Hayato

Kaori makes an incredulous face and she turns to see Hayato who is seeing them with a very cold face " But that's impossible! how are you so sure!? maybe he just looks like him! "

Akira starts to speak with a nervous face " His clothes, his looks, and those eyes, everything matches, he is undoubtedly Sasuke Uchiha, but how did you know him Maya-san? "

" ... " Maya doesn't even turn to see them she just keeps seeing Hayato with her cold empty eyes

But Kaori smiles mockingly seeing Maya then she says with a voice full of disdain " The filthy prince " And suddenly * ZAP * A lightning strike resounds through the cave, making the Heroes and the knights turn to see where it came from with faces of surprise

The moment that Hayato heard her he frowned with anger, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan and covering his Katana with his Chidori

" The Mangekyou Sharingan! Everyone! Don't look him in the eyes! " Akira turned to see Hayato's feet and Maya does the same but the rest of them closed their eyes

" What? Are you scared now? You don't want to fight me you f*cking cowards? " Hayato said with a calm voice but a very cold face as he began to walk towards them

" Hayato " Alyra whispered as she extended her left hand trying to stop Hayato ' Why are you so enraged with them? '

Hayato suddenly starts to run toward them at full speed and just before he arrives he throws his sword at Kaori

" Watch out! " Yelled Akira and he tackles Kaori moving her from the path of Hayato's sword but *STAB* " Urgh..! " A knight behind them doesn't even have the time to react and the sword pierced his chest from side to side and he falls to the ground lifeless

Akira and Kaori watched the dead knight with horror just like the rest of them but the only one who reacted differently was Maya she saw what happened with a face full of surprise

Akira still on the ground with Kaori in his arms grits his teeth with anger and turns to see in Hayato's direction " You bast..!! " but before he could end his yell he noticed that Hayato was in the air making very quick hand seals and when he finished Hayato said with a cold voice " Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ( Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu ) " a large fireball comes from Hayatos mouth moving towards them very fast

" Goddamit! Speed Boost! " Akira screamed then stands with Kaori in his left arm shaking in fear, then Akira runs towards Wallace's direction and grabs his wrist thanks that he was the one closest to him, finally he jumped as far as he can with both of them in his hands. Maya just make a long quick jump ignoring every one of the knights that were near her

Then *BOOM* " Gah!! " The White Knights yelled in agony when the fireball hit them, after a few seconds the fire and dust disappeared and the knights were on the ground burned, and even charcoaled

All the presents there looked at knights, Wade frowns, Alyra and Dye had startled expressions, the Heroes and the young blond man were horrified

Hayato lands and walks calmly towards the burned knight that has his sword still in his body, makes a mocking smile, and covers his left hand with his Chidori once again as he grabs his sword he says with a cold smile " And you call yourselves Heroes? I just killed all those failures in front of you and you didn't do anything, you know why? " then he made a sinister smile " Because all of you are nothing "

" Damn you! " Wallace made an angered face and he began to run toward Hayato leaving Kaori and Akira behind

" Wait! Sir Wallace! " Akira yelled trying to stop him ' F*uck! two simple attacks and we lose our escort... we are too weak to fight against this guy so soon ' then he runs after Wallace leaving Kaori behind, who had a frightened expression

" Fierce Thrust! " *SWOOSH* Wallace made a fast sword thrust trying to stab Hayato's chest

" Hmph! " Hayato snorts mockingly dodging his thrust by just moving his body a little to the left

Dye, who was seeing Hayato with surprise, says " What's wrong with him, I never saw him act like that "

Wade shakes his head a little and responds to her with doubt " I don't know, even when we attacked the Brywood family he always stayed calm and composed, he never tried to kill the knights, it has to be because of the Heroes, I don't see any other reason "

Alyra didn't say anything, she was absent-minded seeing Hayato, her hands were trembling as she thinks ' He is acting just like... her '

Wallace turns around and swings his sword again *SWOOSH* " Die you, bastard! "

Hayato still with a mocking face raises his katana waiting for Wallace to attack and *CRACK* Wallace's sword breaks in two after his sword clashes with Hayato's katana

" What!? ack! " Wallace makes a shocked expression when he sees his sword then Hayato hit his stomach with his right fist making him fall to her knees

" Trash " *PUM* Hayato kicks Wallace's face sending him flying and he focuses his attention on Akira who arrived behind him swinging his sword from up to down

Hayato jumped sideways avoiding his attack and he sees Akira with a cold grin

" Wind Reinforcement! " Akira covers his sword with a thin layer of white smoke and charges against Hayato again

" Ha! " *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* Their swords clashed a few times until Hayato grabbed Akira's wrist making him stop then *PAM* " Ugh! " he kicks him in the stomach and throws him towards Kaori

" Akira-Kun! " Kaori finally reacted and she aims her staff at Hayato " Fire Rain! " small red vortices appear above Hayato, from where small fireballs appeared, falling against him

" .... " Hayato sees the fireballs falling toward him with a calm face and he starts to jump all over the place avoiding every one of them

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* The fireballs exploded at the contact to the ground leaving small craters but the small red vortices keep appearing above him

Kaori keeps her staff aimed at Hayato as she helps Akira to stand up " That will only work as a distraction, are you ok Akira-Kun? "

Akira gets up with a concerned expression " If we want to live... We have to win... but he doesn't even take us seriously, we need to find a way to escape from him "

" Sure, good luck with that " Maya said with sarcasm

Kaori turns to see Maya with an enraged face and she says " At least he is doing something! you... you are just standing there without doing anything! hmm? " The explosions stopped and they turn to see Hayato who was walking toward them frowning

Maya doesn't even turn to see her, she keeps her eyes on Hayato then she says with a serious face " His energy it's becoming colder, darker with each passing second, that only means one thing "

" ....!! " Akira makes an expression of horror " We have to leave this place now! Great Speed Boost! " He takes Kaori and Wallace who was still on the floor and he runs as fast as he can towards the exit, only Maya stayed there looking at them expressionless

Suddenly *BOOM* a giant purple skeletal hand slammed the ground in front of them making Akira stop, the skeletal hand blocks their path completely, everyone in the room had astounded faces when they notice where it came

" What is that!? " Said Dye with amazement

" I don't know " Said Wade with a frowning expression

Maya frowned after she saw that and thinks ' I knew it, the Susanoo '

" You will not escape " Hayato smiled evilly as his body emitted purple light and smoke, he walked towards the entrance and the giant skeletal hand disappeared

Akira sees Hayato with anger and yells " Damn you! why do you want to kill us?! "

" ..... " Hayato grinned coldly and Akira grits his teeth leaving Kaori and Wallace then he yells " Blazing Warrior!! " his body started to emit red light and some veins popped on his temples, then he charged toward Hayato swinging his black sword " Fire Reinforcement! " His sword now emits fire

Hayato keeps his cold grin as he sees him approach him fast "It's useless " then he raises his katana covered with his Chidori *CLANK* their swords clashed and they began to exchange attacks with a great speed

*CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* Every attack that Akira made was evaded or stopped so he yells in frustration " DAMN IT!!! " but he keeps attacking Hayato in desperation

" Ha " Hayato chuckled mockingly and *PAM* " Ugh! " he punched Akira in the face with his right hand making him bleed from his mouth and nose, Akira takes a few steps backward and Hayato jumped towards him then *PAM* " Ack! " he kicks him in the stomach with great strength that the impact sent him flying

" Akira-Kun!! Great Fire Ball!! " Kaori raised her red staff again and a huge fireball appeared in front of her " GO! " She yelled and the fireball begins to move in Hayato's direction

Hayato stayed still making a cold face seeing the fireball then " *BOOM* the fireball hits him rising fire and dust in his position

Alyra wanted to run towards Hayato but Wade grabbed her shoulder stopping her, she turns to see him with surprise but when she saw the serious expression on Wade's face she stayed still once again

" Akira-Kun " Kaori runs towards Akira and she kneels to hug him, then she turned to see Maya " Maya! you idiot! why are you still standing? fight him! " Kaori yelled with anger

" ..... " Maya moves her lifeless but beautiful emerald eyes to see Kaori, she was seeing her like she was seeing a bug

" ..... " Kaori frowns with some small tears in her eyes then she hugs Akira tightly with shaking hands

Wallace, who was a little far from them, sees Maya with incredulity " My Lady "

Then a cold voice sounds " That's all you got, maybe a little pressure will make all of you fight better " from the huge dust cloud the big purple skeletal hand reappeared and it extended until it grabbed Wallace, besides, a rib cage was surrounding Hayato he was completely intact from Kaori's attack

Wallace extended his hands trying to stop the big purple skeletal hand who is grabbing him and he screamed with fear " Gah! what is this!!! "

Akira got up slowly to yell with anger " Release him! you bastard! "

Hayato moves Wallaces closer to him as he turns to see Akira with a cold smile and says " Come on Heroes, save him! " then *CRACK* Wallace's arms finally broke from the pressure

" AAHHHHH!!!!!!!! " Wallace screamed very loudly and Hayato made the big skeletal hand disappear

" Ack " after falling Wallace turns to see Maya " Help me... my lady... " Wallace said with a pained expression, but " GAH! " Hayato stabbed him in the back with his katana

" Don't move, I will take care of you after your friends...Ugh... " Hayato makes a pained expression and covers his eyes with his hands when he opened them again Maya was in front of him making a cold face ready to cut him with her sword that was emitting a white smoke

Maya swings her sword aiming for Hayato's face " Consecutive Slayer Slash! "

" ....!? " Hayato sees her with surprise and bends his head back, dodging the fatal strike but she cut his face causing a small injury on his right cheek

*SWOOSH* *STAB* Maya makes a sword thrust and she pierces Hayato's left shoulder

" Ugh... " Hayato makes a pained expression and he kicks her on the stomach, but she had her left arm protecting her stomach so the kick didn't do much, but still she took a few steps back

" ....!? " Dye was about to interfere this time but Hayato yelled at her " I told you that the Heroes are mine! stay there! " Dye stops and sees Hayato with surprise

" Good job, Maya-san! " Akira appeared next to Maya and they started to attack together

' Damn, she took me completely by surprise ' Thought Hayato when Maya and Akira attacked him repeatedly with their black swords, and then both of them jumped backward suddenly

" Fire Prison! " A red circle appeared under Hayato's feet and began to rise up

" ... " Hayato jumps and the red circle forms a red dome then he turns to see Kaori and he began to make hand seals " Stupid, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ( Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu ) " a big fireball comes from his mouth and impacts Kaori's body

" Kyaa!! " Kaori was sent flying by the impact leaving a few marks of burn all over her body

" Kaori!! you bastard!!! " Akira yelled in anger after she was sent flying

Akira and Maya keep attacking for a few minutes, kicking, punching, and swinging the swords without any result even when Hayato has one eye closed and his left arm is bleeding

' That Sharingan makes him almost invincible, I have to do that now, I would have preferred to do that when he was dead ' Thought Maya with frustration

" Enough " Hayato grabbed Maya and Akira by the wrists and squeezes them with great force " Ah " " Argh " making them release their swords, then he used their own hands to punch their faces, after that, he released them and punch both of them in their stomachs

Maya and Akira retreated a few steps back grabbing their stomachs, finally, Hayato jumped forward and he puts both hands on the ground to then kick them both with his feet sending them near Kaori

" Ha…. ha... we can't win " Akira stands up again but he has a tired face then he turns to see Kaori that was just getting up from Hayato's attack

" You can do it, Akira-Kun, I trust you " Said Kaori with a pained smile

" ... " Maya saw them with cold eyes as she stands up

" You are right, Kaori-san, then... one more time!! " Akira said with a face full of resolution and he started to run towards Hayato again, then " KYAAAAAA!!!!! " he heard a heartbreaking scream coming from behind

Akira turns to see behind him with surprise and he saw Kaori being lifted by a yellow light sword that was coming from her stomach, she was kicking in panic, but her feet didn't even touch the ground

" NOOO!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!!! " Akira screamed in panic

" I was waiting for this, since the moment we arrived in this world " Maya was the one who was raising Kaori with a sword made with magic, she had a very satisfied smile then she said " Sword Trident! " Two more sharp swords come from both sides of the sword and they pierced Kaori's body from side to side again

Hayato deactivated his Sharingan and he was very surprised by what is he seeing
