Chapter 5 - They Are Way Too Weak For Me

Yes, it is true that I have gained a considerable amount of notoriety as "vigilante". The moniker NightFall has been widely discussed in various news outlets, newspapers, and social media platforms, so it is not unexpected.

The individuals dressed in black made another attempt to fire their weapons, directing their aim towards me with a clear intention to cause kill.

It was fine though, wasn't really worried.

As the men pulled the trigger, they were surprised to hear a loud "Click!" noise from the gun, indicating that it did not fire, possibly due to being jammed.

One of them yelled worryingly, "The guns are.. jammed?"

Hugo responded to the situation by shifting his fat body with surprise, exclaiming, "I don't believe it?!" He then yanked the gun from his guard and inspected it closely, realizing, "These guns are my best creation to this date, jamming should be impossible!"

Based on my knowledge (definitely not from the internet), Mr. Hugo Strange possesses an extraordinary magicle power to mentally create guns, specifically out of discarded materials, even if they are considered worthless.

Unfortunately for him though, guns don't work on me.

I experience a power that I refer to as the 'Supernatural Phenomenon' where guns either malfunction or fail to hit me when they are aimed at me.

I am still unsure about the specific details of how it operates, but it is likely one of the advantages that comes with possessing the power of death.

In a fit of frustration, Mr. Hugo angrily tossed the gun to the ground and gestured with his hand, saying, "Forget it! Just get him!"

I descended from the guardrail, my gaze was filled with malice, and I remained completely still, ready for his guards to come near me without any hesitation.

When I am in a state of ego, I don't blink at all. It must be quite unsettling for others to see my strange red eyes glaring at them without any movement.

They all rushed forward simultaneously, and as the first person swung their fist, they believed they had made contact, but I had mysteriously disappeared, giving the impression that they had punched nothing but empty space.

The man exclaimed, "Where did he disappear to!" And the second guard promptly warned him, "Behind you, look out!"

However, it was already too late. I was already going in for my attack, and before he could react, I quickly seized his head and firmly gripped it. Then, I swiftly twisted his head in a complete rotation, causing his neck to make a disturbing cracking noise. "Crkk!"

As his head contorted unnaturally, he swiftly dropped to his knees and then crashed onto the floor.

Bang!

He should appreciate that I granted him a quick death.

Upon witnessing this, the remaining men dressed in black began to stutter, expressing hesitancy about approaching me. And who can really blame them? I would also be afraid if I were in their position.

Mr. Hugo shouted angrily at them, spewing saliva from his mouth like shooting stars. He threatened, "If you useless fucks fail to attack and kill him, I will personally slice off your heads!"

Upon receiving their boss's command, the men displayed signs of unease, their jaws tightened, and they knew that whichever decision they made would result in death.

Reluctantly, they rushed towards me, while I maintained a usual stance and watched them come closer. And since I'm gonna engage in combat with them, I will briefly explain some of my fundamental abilities.

The group of men dressed in black aggressively attacked me with punches, but much to their frustration, their sluggish punches had no effect on me. It was as if I were disappearing and reappearing right before their eyes, effortlessly evading all of their punches.

It's embarrassing to witness their behavior, even though they are supposedly highly skilled in martial arts, they end up punching each other instead of hitting me. Give me a break.

In any case, the first ability is the ability to move at extremely high speeds, basically super speed.

Their speed is unmatched compared to mine not because they are ridiculously slow, but because I am currently moving effortlessly at an unbelievable speed of sound.

In my view, the way they attack reminds me of turtles on land, extremely slow as if they have no intention of actually hitting me, making it very easy for me to dodge their attacks. I carefully observe each punch they throw and each kick they attempt to fly at me, swiftly moving out of the way before they can even react.

Next, one of the men made another attempt to strike me with a punch. However, instead of evading it like before, I effortlessly caught the full force of the punch.

To me, it seemed as if a group of cushions were forcefully hitting my hand.

...Now, moving on to the second of my fundamental abilties....

I retaliated by delivering a powerful strike to the man's abdomen, and my hands penetrated his stomach as if they were going through hollow wood.

The sound produced by his body parts was repulsive, and I could feel it moving in my hand. Frankly, it was quite disgusting.

The man was unable to even utter a cry of agony as blood swiftly gushed from his mouth. He collapsed to the ground while I withdrew my hand from his torso.

...Enhanced physical strength, Super agility, and heightened sensory perception.

As demonstrated earlier, my ability to perform a 360 twist on the other person's head showcases my exceptional strength. My agility allows me to maintain a level of balance and flexibility similar to that of a feline.

And my senses, well..

I was approached by another guard from behind, attempting to strike me unexpectedly. However, I had anticipated the attack in advance due to my heightened senses. Swiftly, I skillfully evaded the strike and firmly seized his hand.

WhOOSHH!

Using a forceful toss, I swiftly maneuvered his body to the ground, resulting in a resounding "SLAM!" that caused the ground to shake. Afterwards, I applied pressure with my knee to his chest while forcefully detaching his right arm from his shoulders.

In this instance, the guard experienced intense agony, letting out a loud exclamation of "Argh!" as he tightly grasped his shoulder, where his missing arm should have been, with tears streaming down his face.

I said I was not going to have any mercy..

I quickly looked around and saw that there were only three men remaining.

I think I'll delve into the fascinating part of my abilities.

All the men rushed towards me simultaneously, but as they approached, my dark deathly presence enveloped them like a venomous snake constricting its prey. They were unable to get any closer before abruptly collapsing to the ground.

Thud!

The group of men scattered across the floor, clutching their legs that were trembling uncontrollably. They started shouting desperately for assistance, exclaiming, "Help me! What the hell is that?!" as if they were facing imminent death.

You might be curious about what is happening... I refer to this ability as The Aura of Dread.

I possess the power to create an Aura that can influence the thoughts and emotions of individuals who are weak minded, causing them to experience the sensation of death itself.

At this moment, it is likely that they feel as if they are being pulled down into the depths of the underworld, being dragged by the deceased and the spirits of the dead.

I would describe this as a way too overpowered ability, because once someone is ensnared by it, the situation is essentially game over. However, the main disadvantage is that it can be easily countered by simple mental resistance or enhancing magic.

Regrettably, it appears that these individuals lack the knowledge or expertise in that particular area.

I abruptly faced Mr. Hugo and Infernus, who were currently witnessing a vigilante with a devillish appearance. Despite their attempts to use guns against this individual, it appeared to be ineffective. This mysterious figure hardly spoke but managed to instill fear in both Mr. Hugo and Infernus.

I embody and symbolize what they are supposed to fear. I am what these individuals are expected to be afraid of. I am not just their fears, but I am also their nightmare.

As I cast a sinister shadow upon them, resembling the devil, I contemplate their forthcoming actions. Considering that Infernus remains present and apparently possesses immense power, I must exercise caution.

However, I have yet to show all of my abilties.
