The streets were empty and the street lamps illuminated the silent road. A man walked causally , apparently immersed in his thoughts. It was 1:00 Am in the morning and Elijah was walking towards a huge warehouse by the banks of a river.
It was a place where drugs were stored and transported. they chose this place so that if police arrives they can smuggle the goods out by the river. Even at this time people worked here as this was the time they can work openly and leisurely.
Elijah walked to the entrance of the warehouse which had it's huge shutter closed but voice's of people inside could be heard.
Elijah stoped and gave another thought of what he was about to do. He had accepted Mr black's offer without so much hesitation. But now he had some doubts of his decision, what he had accepted to do was not simple murder or being serial killing. After this he would be a mass murderer, Yes the people who he was going to kill were not good people but not all were utterly cruel or degenerate people. People like Anna's father were a good example, they were involved in this due to circumstances and not all people were bad.
And even if all the people where inhumane and ruthless, who was he to determine that they should die. When he had joined the mafia he was made to kill people but he had justified it that he had no other choice. But now he was going to kill people unrelated to him for his own personal benifit.
Killing two or three already left a bad taste in his mouth and felt a bit guilty.
Will he be able to remain the same after this? would he end up regretting it? Or he may change to be someone who relishes the feeling of slaughter.
Elijah clenched his left hand tight. The stinging pain from his broken finger brought a pleasant distraction.
"What's done is done, no going back now Elijah" He motivated himself and readied himself for what was to come.
He moved to the back of the warehouse, there was a steel door. Elijah banged at the door.
"what's the code" a voice came from inside asking a password.
"3900" Elijah answered, he had worked here quite often so he knew about this place. He also knew that at least one of the high members of the mafia will be here. Elijah didn't think that he couldn't handle them as they were people with no magical abilities.
The door opened and a fat man came to the view,
"come in" He said after opening the door. And Elijah did come in and slit the throat of the man. The man held his bleeding neck and fell .
Elijah glanced inside, the warehouse was large and in the middle a large table was set where drugs were being packed and kept in medium size boxes. The workers were ordinary civilians who were kidnapped and forced to work here. The members of the mafia just lazed around playing cards or just chatting. One of them noticed Elijah killing the man at the entrance.
Elijah picked up a steel rod that was near him . The circle on Elijah's hands glowed blue and the end of the rod grew sharper. Elijah's gloves could transmute objects and change thier shape , but he couldn't completely change thier shape. He could extend an object or make it grow spikes or make the ground rise. The more area of the surface he controls the more power he ends up consuming, so it was better to use it on small objects and convert it into weapons.
Elijah threw the rod like a spear which pierced the man's chest who had just noticed him. The man let out a scream of pain which caught everyone's attention. The ordinary people working there screamed seeing a person get impaled. Others took out thier weapons.
Elijah quickly took another rod and sent it to impale another. And then he vanished and appeared near a person who took out his gun, and broke his elbow with the knife making him harmless but alive. He needed someone alive to tell the location of other warehouses,This was surely not the only one.
He quickly vanished and appeared near the people and killing them Affectively. They were all in chaos seeing thier own dying one by one and they couldn't even see thier attacker for more than a second before he vanished.
After Teleporting ten times Elijah felt a bit exhausted and took out the gun he stole from the guy before and began shooting them. He teleported instantly when they aimed their guns at him and shot them from thier blind spots.
In matter of minutes all of the mafia members except one were lying dead and forming puddles of blood on the ground, and the workers were cowering in fear under the table. They were ordinary people after all, they would get scared after seeing such a scene. And hell to that even Elijah himself was shaking due to the adrenaline and fear.
Exhausted Elijah panted, He was sweating all over.
The fight was nerve wrecking for him. If he had teleported late he would get shot. His body was as ordinary as anyone so he would die if he got shot at any vital parts.
Elijah took a minute or two to calm himself. And then he went to question the the man he left alive to ask him the location of other warehouses. Elijah had purposefully spared this one as he was the head of this place. He had seen him on many occasions.
The man Crawled and begged for mercy, he moaned painfully. He told everything without any need of torture or threat.
"please spare me.. I have a family and... " Before he could finish Elijah stabbed him and ended his life. Elijah's face was not nice, he had grim look.
"Even though he is someone who killed lots of people... I don't feel any good rather I feel I am no different than him.. "
sigh
Sighing Elijah stood up and looked at the workers "The police will arrive in the morning so dont do anything stupid" Although they heard him they didn't respond, they were too scared seeing the dead bodies here and there. Who would believe a person who just killed so many people?
Elijah sighed once again and went out and sealed all the doors with transmutation. It was going to be a long night and he didn't want them to go and alert the police. He was going to inform the police himself in the morning so that the people didnt get starved to death there.
With that Elijah left , he had to deal with three more warehouses. In the current warehouses there were 33 people and out of them 10 were ordinary workers. He had roughly 130 more people to kill.
