Some of the Scavengers exchanged confused gazes, "Kid, don't you realize what kind of situation you are in?"
"Stop talking, just catch him!" Ordered the tallest Scavenger.
Five of them stepped forward, four entering their Berserk Form while the last one drew a black demonic looking spear made of bones and flesh from the vertical mouth on his unprotected shoulder. They didn't speak anymore, directly dashing at him with great speed.
Alfonso drew his black longblade that produced a low humming sound. He stomped on the ground, creating a tremor that took the Scavengers by surprise, causing them to lose their balance for a moment. That moment was all he needed, traversing the few meters in a second and slashing his longblade at the hip from the Weaponmaster Scavenger.
"Fuck!" Cursed the Scavenger, putting his spear between him and Alfonso's longblade to block his attack. Bright sparks flew through the air for a second when both weapons met. The black eyes from the Scavenger whose pupils were red widened in shock. His black spear was slashed into two, he failed to block the attack and had no time to react before his upper body was separated from his lower body.
The other five Berserkers watched in shock how a fountain of blood spurt out from the body of their friend, he died instantly. Alfonso didn't hesitate, jumping sideways while rotating, slashing at another Scavenger.
The Scavenger shouted, punching out with great power. Sparks flew out again when his fist met the long blade but it was only for a moment before the longblade overcame the resistance, cutting deeply into the arm...
'That doesn't make sense! He is clearly weaker than us. Why doesn't his blade shatter? Is he using Internal? No, I can sense that his Flux isn't entering his blade...' Though the leader was confused. There were three ways to find out if someone was weak or strong.
One was to look at the metalic color of their weapon or skin. The darker the weapon, the stronger the person, the more metallic the skin looks after entering Berserk Form, the stronger the person is. This way only helped in the beginning, the color stopped changing after reaching a certain level of power.
The second way was more advanced, it required one to master the Flux inside them and sense the amount of it inside others.
Alfonso's longblade was clearly not as dark as the spear from his underling or nearly as metallic as their skin but it still cut through them...It didn't make sense as he wasn't empowering his blade with Flux...
'He should have a kinetic ability! Yeah that should be the case! He is a Weaponmaster Slayer but his stomp was powerful enough to make the ground shake. Only Berserkers should be able to do that! Geokinesis? No, that doesn't explain the sharpness of his blade...' The leader knew that the most common kinetic abilities were the variant forms of Telekinesis but there were plenty of people who had other weird kinetic abilities. They all had one thing incommon, they were hard to deal with if one lacked information about them...
"He should have some kind of kinetic ability that makes him just as strong as a Berserker! Be careful!" Shouted the leader while opening the buttons of his shirt and taking out a black greatsword from the mouth in his chest. The ground cracked under his feet as he rushed forward.
The Berserker who had his arm deeply cut shouted, making the veins pop out on his injured arm. Alfonso's eyes widened when he saw the arm close itself back by sheer willpower from the Scavenger.
'What the hell! That works!?' Cursed Alfonso stunned.
Alfonso felt the pressure on him become greater, the five of them began to work better together to harass him. They avoided direct clashes with his longblade, Alfonso sensed the leader hacking down on him with his greatsword from behind. He took a quick side step avoiding the attack but one of the Berserkers closed in quickly punching at him.
Alfonso cursed and whirled around, delivering a horizontal slash aiming at the chest of the Scavenger. His attack only met air, the Berserker smirked as he stopped his attack in the middle before stepping back. Alfonso's eyes widened when his senses warned him, he was wide open after his attack missed and another Berserker was rushing at him like a cannonball.
Alfonso did his best to defend himself but he had no time, the Berserker slammed into his side like a rugby player.
His vision shook first and he felt his body scream in pain before he found himself flying.
Loud crashing sounds echoed through the area when Alfonso crashed through multiple buildings.
'I really underestimated them, they work well together, are stronger and faster than me...D&D it is!' Thought Alfonso while shaking his head to recover from the attack. He forced his way out from the rubbles. The five Scavengers looked with glee at him, standing outside the building...
He stored his longblade back, surprising them but they didn't think for a second that Alfonso would surrender, their leader warned them about the fact that he had a kinetic ability and it seemed like he was about to use it.
"Screw it I will go all out!" Declared Alfonso while mobilizing his Seismokinesis ability. The air around him began to shake violently as veins popped out from his forehead.
His pitch black eyes met the red pupils from the leading Scavenger. The leader was shocked at the sight of Alfonso and took a step back, "Retre..." He couldn't finish his order when a shockwave erupted from Alfonso, instantly blasting everything in its way. A loud rumble ran through Hattingen as the buildings near Alfonso collapsed. Tons of debris flew through the air with him as the epicenter.
He took a deep breath, deciding which of them he would attack first. The ground beneath him was torn apart as he dashed to the right. One of the Berserker was still dazed, trying to figure out what on earth just happened when a figure appeared in front of him. He was shocked but crossed his arms to defend himself from the incoming fist.
The Berserker felt like a missle hit him, his strong metallic arms cracked under the weird powerful attack and everything turned dark...
A sound like an explosion echoed through Hattingen followed by violent rumbles...
The leader regrouped with four of his underlings, watching in horror the destruction Alfonso created. They rushed to the 20 meters long and 6 meter deep crater, seeing the youth standing on top of their friend who looked like someone had chewed and spit him out. It was such a brutal view that it sent shivers down their spines.
"RUN!" Shouted the leader on top of his lungs, they wanted to run but an earthquake happened right in that moment, making them all fall down.
It was like the world was ending and a figure came out from the crater breathing hard while glaring at them.
"I only wanted some information but...whatever...Die!"
Alfonso didn't waste any time as his stamina was being drained at a crazy speed. He rushed at the four of them, punching three of them into oblivion while only the leader managed to get away from him despite the earthquake wreaking havoc in a quarter of Hattingen. There was almost no building that was spared from it.
The leader realized that he wouldn't make it out alive as long as Alfonso wanted him dead, he gritted his teeth and took out a black crystal.
Alfonso who was running at him was surprised, he came a step too late. The leader threw the black crystal on the ground, creating a black hole into which he jumped in without hesitation. Not forgetting to give Alfonso a last murderous glare.
Alfonso stopped in front of the black hole in the ground, canceling his Tremor Manipulation. The earthquake vanished as fast as it appeared, giving what was left of Hattingen a break.
"Shit!" Cursed Alfonso...
