Chapter 67: Protecting the humans!!!
The voice came again, "I Said, get out of the vehicle. Next time, I would speak with bullet holes".
The elementals in the van all looked at themselves, there was calm, they had always constantly been in a life and death situation when they competed and fought amongst each other, although it's different from being confronted with a gun, they were nonetheless confident of themselves.
Outside the van, there were five people, all in black ski masks, the forehead area of the mask had a white skeleton engraved on it. Lancelot Jr Alisha Morgan, and the two others, who were Lamil Aureo, and Zain Cole, all circled the back of the house before they heard the noise that came from the side of the van.
"Rescue the humans in the house first, those in the van can take care of themselves" the spirit speaker spoke to Lancelot Jr.
Lancelot Jr was a bit conflicted, he knew those in the van had issues with him but he wouldn't neglect the idea of helping them, yet the humans under torture put him in a situation of scruples, unsure if to save them first or to go for those in the van.
Eventually, he had to trust that those in the van can take care of themselves as he headed in through the back door into the house.
He and the rest crept in furtively, as they looked around vigilantly.
A male and a female were tied up to a chair, and their two children were tied in front of them two men in black ski masks and overall with the white skeleton logo on their forehead stood at the side of the two small kids.
The kids were unconscious from extreme pain and exhaustion.
The woman was crying begging them not to kill her children but they were delighted in the pain they were offering.
"You're in affiliation with the elementals, all elementals deserve to die, so also are those in affiliation with them, even if they are humans"
The first torturer to the right side of the passed-out children finished speaking, while the other one laughed and just moved towards the woman.
"You know I'm 28 years old now, it's been a while since I had a taste of a woman.."
The other one spoke with a smile on his face.
The man tied up beside the woman, who happens to be her husband immediately became uncomfortable with the path the discussion was taking.
He started to struggle against the restraints and said some insulting words and curses which were muffled by the gag on his mouth.
The ski-masked man or the left laughed all the more, "it seems you get the gist, I will let you watch, and maybe teach you some lessons on how it is meant to be enjoyed"
While this was going on, Lancelot Signaled to Zain Cole, "you're up".
Zain Cole was a Blood nation expert, who had mastered the control of blood to an amazing degree and he has even developed a lot of techniques to use in attack and defense.
Since they grew from level 1 to level 4 together, Lancelot Jr, Alisha Morgan, Zain Cole, and Lamil Aureo, were very familiar with each other's abilities.
Under this close presence of these attackers, Lancelot Jr felt the masked men might have hidden weapons that could do damage to them in a frontal attack, so he decided to use a long-range attack that can be unleashed undetected like blood control, hence he called on Zain Cole.
Zain Cole smiled, he was very happy, he rarely ever get to use his abilities on humans, most times he uses them on animals and although it has helped him a lot, to him it's still not as beneficial as having real human blood control experience.
The principal had so many times warned him to abstain from attacking any student of the school, so most times he had to rely on the animals provided for his practice sessions, but now seeing these cruel and vile beings, he had no restraints on his ability.
He fully unleashed the blood-curling ability.
This ability would draw blood away from the vital areas, like the brain and the heart, it is a lethal move that ensures the victim dies in pain and agony and the speed depends on the attacker.
The first ski-masked man was the first to sense a change in his body system, he wanted to scream but the pressure on his chest was too heavy, he brought out his gun and started to shoot haphazardly and wildly in all directions,
Lancelot Jr had anticipated this and he wielded the air element perfectly, allowing the bullets to narrowly miss the tied up couple and their kids.
In 10 minutes, both attackers had died miserably, blood flowed out of their nostrils and other orifices, their face was drained of blood and their eyes were wide open, it was evident that they died from extreme agony.
Lancelot Jr gave a thumbs up to Zain Cole,
"as expected, the skills of the legendary Zain are legendary" Alisha said with a smile.
They often Joked, back in school about Zain being a vampire lord after they happen to watch a vampire movie from a human movie outlet.
Since then Zain would regard himself as the legendary Zain, so anytime he does something exceptional, the rest would echo the words, legendary Zain and he would laugh from feeling excited and proud of himself.
Lancelot Jr moved to untie the couple and remove their gag and also release the children. He signaled to the man to be quiet as the man wanted to thank Lancelot Jr loudly.
"Thank you" the man whispered, as he hugged his wife.
He has been perplexed a moment ago, about the fact that these vile creatures were about to have their way with his wife, he didn't know what to do in fact he felt it was a fate worse than death, but he felt happy that the elementals whom they had kept faith in had come to their rescue.
He was touched that despite the activities of the skeleton organization, they still came to ensure their safety. He was tearing up as he and his wife carried their children.
"My name is Gabriel Li, these are my colleagues we are sent by the school to rescue and protect you, this place is no more safe, so you would have to come with us, there are some people about to attack the van outside with which we came, so stay here, when we have dealt with them we would come back for you"
Lancelot Jr whispered to the couple, who nodded in response and started to thoroughly examine their kids to ensure they were fine, while Lancelot Jr and the rest went out to check on the situation of the van.
on the outside...
The Leader with a gun had opened fire on the van, pumping bullets continually at every part of the van.
Rob drill had made himself metal, using one of the strongest metal alloys he had mastered, however, even with that, he still couldn't completely make himself impervious to the bullets, some penetrated his skin and drew blood, while others just lodged there, Gerald Guye hid behind him as a shield.
Rick Warren also used himself as a shield, being stronger than Rob, it was easy to fend off the raining bullets, he also increased the strength of the part of the van which he touched, Xavier Xu just sat behind him without caring for the rain of bullets.
When Lancelot Jr and his group got closer, he whispered to the rest, "leave these guys for me, I'll handle them",
"But why do you want to handle them alone? Let Zain help then you can finish up as we did before!" Alisha responded out of concern.
Lancelot Jr then whispered in her ears, "I'm about to break through to level 3 in my Air elemental control, I need this",
Alisha then raised her brow in realization and nodded.
From the side, Lamil had a adoring look as he spoke "Hey cute couple, let's get this over with" Lamil joked as he watched them separate from each other.
Lancelot Jr ignored him and smiled then he rushed towards the area where the men were. "I was going to have mercy on you guys and spare your lives, but now I'm pissed"
Lancelot Jr said, pretending to be angry,
"that is the fire King, yes I know him",
"he is really powerful, you know when he was in class one, he beat up the big bullies in class 3, he is so talented, but it's a shame, he will die here"
The men were whispering amongst themselves as they aimed guns at the newly arrived Lancelot Jr and prepared to shoot.
Lancelot smiled as he watched them cork the gun and released the bullets.
"Mind as clear as the calm seas, Motion like a fluid!!!" Lancelot chanted as the bullet came at him with a speed close to the speed of sound.
"Kpau! Kpau! Kpau!"
He moved so elegantly, dancing around as the wind made him as light as a feather, he extended his hands and slightly changed the trajectory of the bullets as they flew past him as if they were avoiding his position and went to lodge themselves in a tree closeby.
