[Benji, hey Benji, BENJI!!!] Shouted Adam mentally at Benji.
Benji snapped back to reality, he looked down at his sword that was stained with blood, just like his hands.
There were many weapons restricting his body.
Benji looked around a bit confused, there were people lying on the ground, bleeding.
Those people were staring at him in horror.
'This...'
Adam stepped beside him while ligthing up a cigarette, [You idiot entered The Zone without noticing.]
Benji sighed exhausted.
Adam waved his hand, taking away the weapons that restricted Benji, he turned to the pitiful looking Inner Core Members.
["I hope you guys realize now what I meant when I said that you are still weak despite having stronger powers. Take the training more serious!"]
"He is an absolute monster!" Protested Thomas as he tried to stand up.
Adam chuckled, ["That's right he is a powerful b*stard and you are lucky that he is on our side."]
The others nodded, still staring at Benji in fear.
Benji sat down on the ground, "I'm sorry everyone, I got a bit too excited and lost myself."
The tall youth Jan struggled to lift his body up, "Your movements became suddenly ridiculous. No matter how we attacked you, you dodged everything and cut us down like chicken!"
"And what's the deal with those horns?" Asked Julia who was the least injured among the group.
Everyone stared at Benji's two obsidian horns on his forehead.
He shrugged, "A mutation that happened after I evolved."
Adam clasped his hands, drawing everyone's attention towards himself.
["Good, you guys know now why you need to learn how to use cold weapons, we don't know if you will meet someone or something that might counter your powers."]
The group nodded, their wounds were already regenerating at a fast speed.
They chose weapons and Adam did his best to create them.
Jan was the only one who chose a hammer, the rest chose swords.
Benji chose two long swords that he attached to his back.
[I see, very Witcher like haha.] Commented Adam.
'Hell yes!'
[We will talk later about The Zone, it was different this time.]
'I noticed it, I lost myself when I entered it, it's the first time is has happened.'
[It was very dangerous, you would have killed everyone if I didn't stop you in time!]
'....'
["Good let the training begin!"]
At another place...
Kaito crashed into a skyscraper, demolishing the whole floor. He didn't dare to stay there and dodged sideways.
Explosions blasted the spot apart he stood just a few seconds ago.
Kaito jumped through the window, landing on the roof of another building.
He didn't have time to take a break when the building he was standing on was bombarded.
"F*ck! Who are these people and why are they attacking me?" Cursed Kaito as he jumped from the roof to another one.
The shooting sounds followed him everywhere he went, there was no escape from those people attacking him.
Kaito hid between some buildings, finally catching his breath.
The soldiers suddenly appeared and attacked him without any reason. They had enough firepower to blast half Tokyo away, and that's what they did.
Kaito had a hard time adapting and was heavily injured.
He looked down at his stomach that was rapidly healing the horrifying wound.
'It's obvious that they came here for me, but why?'
He had a faint hunch about it, his thoughts were interrupted when he sensed them near his position.
'I only need one of them alive to spill the beans!' Thought Kaito as he unsheathed his katana.
A sharp aura erupted from his body, the intensity of his sharp gaze intensified.
The katana in his hands moved mystical slow, leaving aftermiragges behind.
Kaito performed many of such slow slashes around him, his body starting sweating hard.
It looked simple but it put a huge toll on his already injured body.
The soldiers had almost reached his position when he finished what he was doing while smiling evilly.
A crisp clinking sound echoed through the buildings when Kaito put his katana back into the sheath.
The soldiers that were following the trail of his blood froze, the buildings around them exposed large clean cuts.
The buildings collapsed on them, catching them off guard.
The whole area collapsed producing a cloud of dust.
Kaito sensed that all the soldiers had somehow survived, 'Sure enough, they are like me!'
He had already that suspicion when they managed to keep up firing at him despite his fast speed.
He drew his sword again, dashing at the surviving soldiers inside the cloud of dust.
They sensed him too but they were too injured to put up a fight.
Kaito cut them apart, killing them on the spot. He split their heads open, taking the red crystals away.
The eleven red crystals that he collected landed inside his mouth.
Kaito felt disgusted but it was necessarily. He sensed his wound and his stamina recover much faster.
His senses kicked in, warning him about incoming missiles.
Kaito retreated timely before the whole area was under heavy bombardment.
The gaping wound on his stomach had now almost completely healed.
'Now I can fight properly!' His killing intent erupted from his body and he seemed to vanish from his spot.
The soldiers wearing black military clothes came forward, "We lost the target!" Shouted one of them.
The others wanted to report it back to their superiors when their senses screamed danger.
It was too late, the first soldier noticed his vision spin.
The others saw how the head of their comrade flew up in the air.
They gathered together, lifting their rifles up.
Kaito suddenly appeared beside them, "Useless!"
His katana slashed right across them, dividing their bodies form the hip upwards.
Seven fountain of bloods splashed up into the air. The soldiers looked confused before making their last breaths.
Kaito sensed the rockets fired at him, the katana in his hands became blurry.
The rockets were still a good distance away from him suddenly exploded in the air.
Kaito's gaze focused on the distance, a huge tank just arrived.
The tank stood in the middle of the street, facing him.
Kaito's focused on it, taking slow and deep breaths.
He took a stance, lifting his katana above his head.
His mind became empty, his whole body became relaxed and his eyes calmed down.
The tank made its move, firing a load at him.
Kaito heard it and as if it was the starting signal, his whole body began to move.
"HAAAAAAAA!"
His eye came back to life erupting with a sharp aura many times more intense than before.
His katana slashed down at an incredible speed, creating an invisible slash that headed straight at the tank. The street was split into two, the invisible slash cut apart the missile that the tank fired, causing a huge explosion.
The slash didn't stop there, it headed straight at the tank and split it into two.
A drone up in the air recorded everything that happened, Gianluca who was outside Tokyo watched it on the screen with other officers.
"What a monster!"
"He took out three of our elite squads so easily..."
"We bought 2 more tanks, I suggest to attack with all our forces!"
Gianluca's brutal face looked very gloomy, he shook his head.
"We will retreat, the target can even cut tanks down. The mission is a failure." Said Gianluca, holding back his anger.
The other officers turned silent, they excused themselves, going out of the tent to order the retreat.
Gianluca lit up a cigarette, keeping staring at the image of Kaito splitting a tank in two from 100 meters away.
'A monster...' thought Gianluca while breathing out smoke.
'Incredible, my powers have improved so much after slaying and absorbing that monster that was hiding inside the huge crystal...'
Kaito sensed that the unknown soldier started to retreat.
A murderous glint flashed through his sharp red eyes.
He vanished from the spot, arriving 20 seconds later near the retreating soldiers.
Kaito was like a wolf among a flock of sheeps, he reaped one life after another.
The soldiers tried their best to defend against him but he was too fast and absolute lethal.
They managed to retreat successfully after Kaito seemed to lost his interest in killing them.
What they didn't knew is that Kaito left one of them alive for the purpose of gaining information.
Kaito took the man that had both of his arm cut off away and interrogated him.
His katana slashed across the throat of the soldier who was tortured quite a lot before telling Kaito what wanted to know.
"Volari Company..." Whispered Kaito as he wiped the blood off from his katana.
