Chereads / Isekai: The Eight Soul Fragments / Chapter 124 - Effective Manslaughter

Chapter 124 - Effective Manslaughter

A large explosion was heard from the depths of the underground facility. It was loud enough to force all members within the facility to be full on alert as they had to defend and escape. "Quickly run! The archon has come to take us all!" They started running towards an escape route that they had created, but there was one person that prevented them all from making easy escape. "[Fog of Death]!" Remuel ran through the area as he used up a huge amount of his mana to prevent members of the underground facility to escape. Since most members were human, they easily lost consciousness unlike other people within the room. Ten people wearing battle-ready suits, they faced Remuel with their assault rifles. "Tch, so they managed to reach to that kind of tech huh?" Remuel clicked his tongue as he was already aimed at from all directions. But as his confidence spoke, he continued to brandish his scythe.

"This is a dangerous game you're playing, [People of Earth], but oh well..." Remuel spread out the fog of death once more and began his effective manslaughter.

Remuel disappeared into the darkness which made all ten members from [People of Earth open fire. Their bullets were only fired out in vain as they start to reload after missing their entire magazine. But just as they started to reload, three heads already flew off from their necks. They turned around in shock and saw Remuel in his battle suit stained in blood, along with demon wings that were spreading out from his back. He was smiling menacingly as he continued to ravish the bodies to ensure that they will never survive. "Your families may forgive you, but I won't~" Remuel disappeared into the fog once more, which instantly got all members from [People of Earth] to be on guard. "Sir, I'm slowly turning sleepy..." They started to converse while ensuring that they won't get attacked. They all went of a circular formation to prevent Remuel from attacking any side. But that was already something that he had accounted for. "[Lockdown]" Chains erupted from the shadows, chaining one person easily which made him struggle.

"W-Wha?!" The surprise he had was reasonable, as the chains didn't even twice even after he struggled to move with his full power. But before he could do something else, he was forcefully pulled into the darkness. With his scream slowly becoming inaudible, he was never found ever again.

Six remaining members and Remuel decided to dwindle them even more. But since his mana was being consumed way too much, he decided to absorb the fog and fight them in a fine way. However, before he did so, he reaped off another member's head, bringing their original count to half of what they've started with.

"Don't you think that I'm being too cruel? Well, regardless of what I do, the higher ups of the current [People of Earth] already know what happened anyways." Remuel taunted them a little bit which all of them quickly retaliated by firing bullets and dashing in with their swords as they were covered by gunfire.

Remuel, being impressed by their coordinated attack, finally used his mana to engulf his scythe in flames and spun around. The fire that was spinning around Remuel melted the bullets while he used the burning scythe to block the swords. Since their swords were metal, the heat transferred into the blade, making it even smoother and easier to bend. He forcefully bent one sword using his hand to make it unusable and kicked the other swordsman away. He created three tridents in the middle of bending the sword as a counterattack to the three gunners and aimed for their weapon instead. The three other members dodged but the tridents made by Remuel made a complete U-turn and attacked them from behind. Only one of the three were able to notice the tridents as he tried to warn the other two to dodge, but they were not only pierced through by the burning trident, but also blown up into pieces. The other guy threw his assault rifle to the trident as a sacrifice, he then took out a bracelet and wore it on his arm. "Last resort!" The other two members who were attacking Remuel directly quickly loaded their bracelets into their arms, it was then they felt an extreme surge of magic as they began to use water magic to extinguish Remuel's fire.

"Tch! Water again?" Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Remuel stepped back away from the three as they brought out water swords. "[Amalgam of Revelations]!" Remuel used his [Amalgam of Destiny] to create multiple layers of barriers made up of mana, the second each layer is destroyed, it is reabsorbed by Remuel, making it a no-cost ability in the end.

Remuel deactivated his fire to ensure that he doesn't waste too much of his mana. He's more conservative in his actions to ensure that he completes everything flawlessly. He attempted to block the water swords with his scythe as a test to ensure that he knows what he's dealing with. The upper half of the sword disconnected which made Remuel aware of their plans. "Tricky mutts." He started making a full dodgefest and avoided all attacks instead of making blocks. While doing so, he created full counterattacks which were unable to reach as the three were starting to overwhelm him. Despite that, he still managed to easily dodge the attacks as the [Barrier of Revelation] is still covering him. But because he wasn't able to make any reckless moves, the barrier was slowly getting damaged and reabsorbed. Thus, Remuel finally decided to end the battle by unleashing a shockwave using his scythe.

The three men were knocked away which made Remuel quickly load a slug bullet into the scythe and fire it towards one of them. The slug bullet gouged out the insides of one person, instantly rendering fatality and his death. He loaded another slug bullet and shot it straight to the head of another, gouging out the eye and making the head explode from the impact. Another person tried to escape the fate but Remuel activated [Lockdown] to stop him. Chains of darkness erupted from the ground, restraining the man as he was forced to spread his body to ensure a clean cut. Remuel walked towards his position and calmly asked a question.

"Now, where's your new base? I'd like to blast it as soon as possible." With a smile, Remuel laid the scythe behind him, in between his legs in preparation to slice him in half. But since the person seemed indebted to [People of Earth] he decided to diss Remuel instead. "Lawrence already knows of what you've done, and we will never yield to your bullshit! We will take over this world and become the true rulers! Even if you kill me, there will be more!" Remuel's expression quickly turned serious as he calmly spoke his last words to send the young man off to hell. "That so? Then goodbye." Remuel pulled his scythe, cutting him in half from his nether regions, all the way to his head.

He sighed as he deactivated and absorbed all the used up magic he had. However, only a small portion of it was saved, making him only receive about thirty percent of the amount he used. He then looked around and saw the unconscious bodies of nobles and other men. He decided to contact Serkyrio to send a person to explain the situation to the king of Luventrion, and send men to recover the bodies of the nobles involved in the experiment.

While waiting, he decided to explore the rest of the facility.
