"I WILL KILL YOU!! I WILL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!!"
Ralphy's eyes turned blood red as he screamed at Michael.
"Human, what are you planning to do with him?" Gaya asked, but Michael didn't answer her. He walked towards Ralphy with a wicked smile on his face.
"I'll make an example out of you," he declared.
"Shut up!" Michael punched Ralphy using his full strength, and Ralphy's two front teeth flew out of his mouth.
"What... what is... he going to do?" The girls stuttered and watched as he wrapped Ralphy's body in white clothing like a mummy.
"Aren't we going to roast him in this fire, human?" Gaya inquired.
"No."
**************************
"Hey, look, that young master is coming," one of the guards at the city wall exclaimed.
"What is he dragging?" the other guard asked.
The two guards noticed Michael and came out of their small tent, waving at him.
"Hey, guys," Michael greeted them and exhaled deeply.
"Guys, give me some water," he requested.
The two guards were astonished and bewildered by his request.
"Don't you have some?" one guard asked.
"We do... but, young master," the other guard hesitated.
"We are just commoners, and you're a noble," he explained cautiously.
Michael shook his head, dismissing the distinction. "Forget about that. Aren't we all just human? Go bring me the water. I'm thirsty. Go, go, go," he urged one guard while turning his gaze to the other.
"And you, come help me with this."
Although the guards were surprised, they couldn't refuse him. The guard who went to fetch water hurried off, and the other one stepped forward to assist Michael.
"Were you hunting in the woods, young master?" the guard inquired, noticing Michael's bloodstained clothes and the bundle inside the white cloth.
"Sort of," Michael replied.
The assisting guard watched as Michael conjured a long pole before him while the other guard returned with a leather flask of water.
Gulk gulk gulk
Taking the flask, Michael started to gulp the water to quench his thirst, while the two guards mistook Ralphy for an animal and kept poking him.
"What kind of animal is this? It almost looks like a human," one guard wondered aloud.
"Young master, what is this? Is this a divine beast?" the other guard asked, thinking of creatures with the talent to cultivate.
"It's worse. It's the headmaster of the Blood and Bone sect," Michael replied with a smirk.
The two guards exchanged shocked glances, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
"Young Master! You shouldn't joke like that. If those evil people heard you, they will hunt you down," one guard warned.
"Tell these idiots what we did, hehe," Gaya chuckled, eager to see their expressions when they discovered what lay hidden beneath the white clothing.
"Come, lift this up," Michael instructed them.
The guards had no idea of his intentions as he fastened the body to the pole and began to hoist it up. In the distance, Klara's group arrived at the city walls just in time to witness Michael hanging Ralphy from the pole at the entrance of the city gates.
"Young master, can you tell us what this is?" one of the guards asked.
"See it for yourself," Michael replied calmly.
He pulled the white clothing by its end and unwrapped Ralphy like a gift box. When they saw Ralphy's face and the badge of the Blood and Bone sect on his chest, they were left speechless. Their eyes widened, looking like they could pop out of their sockets at any moment.
"LITTLE BASTARD!!! LET ME DOWN!!" Ralphy screamed in anger.
"Young…master," they stammered, stepping back from Michael as fear overtook them.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 200 badass points.]
The old man's enraged scream echoed throughout Rivertown, drawing people out of their homes to witness the unfolding scene. Men and women were astounded, their hearts skipping a beat as they gazed upon Ralphy, the infamous sect master of the Blood and Bone sect.
The townsfolk widened their eyes, staring at Michael in disbelief, their horror evident, while the system continued to reward him with badass points.
"Young Master, the Blood and Bone sect—" the guard began to explain, but Michael raised his finger, silencing him.
"There is no more Blood and Bone sect. I've burned them all, and this scum will be next."
A ball of green adhesive material appeared in his hand as he spoke. Ralphy attempted to wriggle, but his body refused to move an inch.
No one had expected the once cool and handsome young man to hunt down the entire Blood and Bone sect and capture its leader alive.
The guards and onlookers couldn't help but step back in fear, feeling the overwhelming killing intent radiating from him. Even Klara's group, who were used to their Seniors' authority, had never witnessed such a tremendous aura before. It was absolutely terrifying!
Puch
Michael threw the green adhesive substance at Ralphy, watching it slowly spread and envelop the sect master's body. The green adhesive was a special substance he had acquired from the system. He intended to burn Ralphy slowly and inflict as much pain as possible. When he had asked the system for a method to achieve this, the system had recommended the green glue.
"What? What is this?" Ralphy panicked, watching the glue spread over his body. He shouted at Klara's group, who observed the scene from a distance. "Do something! Help ME! AH!!!"
But as he shouted, a small bolt of lightning struck the green glue, igniting the fire.
"NO NO NO NO!!! AHH!!!!!"
"On your way to the afterlife, apologize to everyone you killed in the Rosewood village."
"AHHHH!!"
The women and girls were traumatized by the horrific scene, including the two girls in Klara's group. Some people even vomited due to the smell of the burning body.
Michael's rage and determination to kill were as vicious and bloodthirsty as any member of the Blood and Bone sect, leaving a deep mental scar within the female disciples' hearts.
"He killed all of them horribly and painfully. A man with such a cruel nature. We shouldn't offend this devil," Klara warned the rest of her group, who all nodded in agreement.
Originally, when they first heard him say he was going to exterminate the Blood and Bone sect, they thought he was a madman who would be killed by Ralphy's students.
Little did they know that he would not only kill the elders and students but also burn Ralphy alive. Moreover, he did it alone, while they were at least thirty strong.
Terrifying...
He was too powerful! The few of them softly muttered in their hearts.

"You are too cruel, human. But this princess likes it."
"Guys, don't remove this pole until everyone in the kingdom knows what happened to the Blood and Bone sect. I have a payment to collect from the guild."
The crowd parted, making way for him as he activated his lightning dash and vanished from the scene, leaving everyone in shock.
"Oh shit, did he say the guild?"
One of the boys raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, why?"
"Orion will be there. We should warn him before he crosses paths with this guy!"
The whole sect was aware of Orion's arrogance and his tendency to make enemies. Even among the outer disciples, he was despised for his bullying behavior. Yet, they didn't want Orion to encounter the person who had single-handedly wiped out an entire sect.
