Chereads / Soul Beast Online / Chapter 22 - The Crime

Chapter 22 - The Crime

Five purple stingers appeared above Yami and followed his movements. They combined into one colossal stinger and pierced Sam's body. The stingers separated upon contact, which caused Sam's body to rip apart in five sections.

Yami watched Sam's eyes lose the color of life, and his head flew a meter away from him.

"Too powerful," Yami whispered while wiping away the blood that spat on his cheeks. He didn't expect that the skill was too much for a human body to handle. "I should have tested this skill on a soul beast first."

The scene in front of Yami was gruesome. Body parts were scattered around, pooled in blood.

"I can't cover this up," Yami stated, scratching the back of his head.

Since he couldn't hide his crime, Yami walked away while cleaning his body from blood. His face showed calmness with no sight of guilt.

"Now, let's finish this."

Yami stood in front of the abandoned house where the other members were located and continued beating up their one fellow.

Yami calmly knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it for him.

"Boss?" a sturdy man opened the door. He looked down and saw Yami smiling at him, but before he could utter a single word, blood dripped from his mouth as Yami clawed his heart out of his chest.

"Ger? What's the matter?" another man called. They noticed that their member wasn't moving from the door.

Yami pushed Ger's body, and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. Everyone was shocked and froze when they saw Yami's nonhuman figure.

"Mo-monster!"

They stepped back and grabbed anything that could defend themselves against Yami. They were shivering as they knew Yami was not just an average human, especially seeing the weapon and claws on his arms.

"Who are you!?" a man with long hair yelled. He aimed the wood with blood from the beating toward Yami.

Their confidence was boosted when they realized that Yami was alone, and there were three of them.

"Are you the one that stole the old woman's wallet?" Yami asked with an innocent smile, but his eyes showed the opposite.

The three men looked at each other with confusion before they realized that Yami was the one who had taken the wallet from them.

"It's you! You were the one who took our wallet!"

"Your wallet? I believed it wasn't yours in the first place," Yami chuckled and flexed his arms where his claws were shown to intimidate them.

"We don't have time for a child's play. What are you, a cosplayer?" one of them joked, laughing awkwardly.

"Hmm, let's see," Yami smiled and teleported in front of the nearest man and cut his neck. He pulled his hair as Yami stepped back. "Does this look like a cosplay to you?"

Yami threw the decapitated head toward them to show that he was serious.

"A Ra-raider!" the remaining two men yelled in unison.

In that world, anything that was out of the ordinary was considered a Raider and needed to be eliminated.

"Come, let's play," Yami opened both of his arms wide. Inviting the two men to initiate the first attack.

The two men looked at each other. Cold sweat was forming on their foreheads while they were communicating through their eyes about what they would do next.

Yami thought they would attack him simultaneously, but he didn't expect the two men to run at the backdoor while screaming for help.

"Oh, at least they are smart enough to know they can't defeat me," Yami chuckled in amusement. He walked towards the door but stopped when he stepped on someone's foot.

Yami glanced at the man lying on the floor, bathed in his own blood. The man was so severely beaten that no one could recognize his facial features except Yami.

Yami put a finger an inch closer to the man's nose to know if he was still breathing or not.

"Pity, you will die because of your colleagues. Should I kill them for you?" Yami asked. He watched for any reaction from the man.

The man didn't respond as he lay like an already dead person. His breathing slowed since the broken ribs pierced through his lungs and other internal organs.

Yami stood up and was about to leave, but he caught the man slowly nodding his head with all the strength he could muster before taking his last breath.

Yami closed his eyes and released a deep breath. He grabbed a piece of cloth on the floor and used it to cover the man's dead body.

"May you rest well," Yami whispered before chasing the two guys screaming from afar.

Yami stood at the door while looking at the two figures running away. He flexed his head from side to side before activating 'Shadow Shift' and teleported above them.

Yami didn't kill but held both of their clothes and dragged them to where Sam's corpse was located.

The two men couldn't do anything even if they struggled to escape from Yami's grasp since he had spammed the 'Charge of Madness,' making his mana run low.

When they arrived, Yami threw them into the pool of blood, watching their reaction with amusement.

"AH!" they yelled upon seeing that they were coated with blood. The men scrawled back to escape, but what they saw hunted them.

"B-boss?"

The two men froze and slowly turned around. A shadow loomed over them as Yami held both of his hands to strike.

Their heads slowly fell from their neck and landed on the cold ground as their blood mixed together.

Yami looked at their decapitated body before removing all his clothes and shoes and stepping out of the scene. He went to the forbidden area completely naked since no one was around to see him.

Yami didn't mind considering that it was only his artificial body. He went to find an empty trashcan and burned all the evidence about the crime he committed.
