Chapter 18 - Healing and cleaning

Colt [demonic smile]: "Now that they left… it's time to deal with the trash…"

[Shows the sleeping bandits]

Wake up, you morons! This is gonna be the worst and last nightmare of your lives.

*Administers antidote*

 *Uses Static*

*Waits until everyone is conscious*

*Uses "graviol" after disabling "static"*

The boss [pissed]: "Hay, let us go, you little brat before you get hurt."

Colt [terrifying smile]: "Woow, you're immobile and all you can do is see, hear, and speak, and yet you're still mouthing off… Relax, boss man, I have a good show for you."

*Colt looks at the bandits, then moves towards one of them*

The bandit: "What do you want?!!! Stay away, don't come any closer!"

*Colt uses wind cutter to cut off the bandit's arm right at the shoulder*

*Colt ignores the screams of the bandit*

Colt: "Not too bad, a clean cut. Now let's get to work."

Envision the cells multiplying and healing, speed it up with magic.

*Indifferent to the screams of the bandit and the terrified looks surrounding him. The bandit stops bleeding but his arm does not grow*

Colt [a bit disappointed]: "That's no good. All I did was stop the bleeding."

Try a different approach… morph the cells at the shoulder to stem cells, accelerate growth.

*The bandit's arm starts to grow back. It took fifteen minutes until it was fully restored.*

*As the bandits witnessed a feat thought to be impossible and their friend healing, a sliver of hope rose that they would survive, but what Colt said after that threw them into the pits of despair.*

Colt [not satisfied]: "Fifteen minutes?! I think I can do better. Not to mention *dark smile* organs are next."

[In the void, the dark green flame gets darker and bigger]

*As the boss watched Colt tear and heal his men over and over again with only another one left after most had died in his experiments…His mind broke. He became obedient. He realized that he stood no chance against such overwhelming power.*

Colt: "And that covers it for the heart. I don't need you anymore."

*Cuts the head of the last bandit clean off his shoulders, turns to face the boss*

Colt [calmly and slowly like he's stating a fact not making a threat]: "Now you're going to tell me everything you know."

The boss [in a feeble, broken tone full of despair and misery]: "What do you want to know?"

Colt: "Everything. Where is your hideout? Are there others? What happens to your kidnapped slaves? Where are they? Does your organization specialize in elves or are there human children as well?, and finally… a pathetic wimp like you doesn't have the mental capacity to lead, so who's your leader?"

The boss: "Our hideout is in a cave south of here. There are several other hideouts, one near every elf settlement… but I only know of this one. There are two other squads in the hideout. All the slaves have been sold. We were preparing for a new shipment which is why we came here. We don't know who the leader is. We kidnap slaves then sell them to a slave merchant is all. We only enslave elves, they're not humans, right?"

Colt [pissed as hell]: "They're not humans, huh? And you think that gives them less right to live, don't you?"

The boss: "NO, PLEASE SPAR-"

*Cuts off his head*

Thanks for the intel, jackass.

Shit, humans will be humans, even amongst themselves there is discrimination.

Nobles treat commoners like insects, those same nobles probably are the ones behind this, since this cancer is so widespread.

At this rate, a war will break out and commoners and elves will be the first to die.

And the nobles will survive.

*Covers his eyes with his hand, looking up*

Damn it, why do I even bother?? It's not my job to fix this world.

With my power and knowledge, I can easily obtain vast riches in mere months. I can even become a noble.

Yes, I can take it easy. I don't have to burden it all. I never gave a damn about people dying, so why start now?

[flashback]

God : "Live a life you can be proud of."

[Colt smiles]

*Images of Mark, Clarissa, Alexander, The three elves flow into his head*

Shit, I'm still an engineer, since when did we take the easy way out?

I can't really be proud if I let all of them die, can I?

*Puts his hand down, starts walking*

Fine, I'm the one who's gonna fix it all.

Let's see who will remain standing?

Me? Or this entire world?

[Colt reaches the cave]

*Colt walks inside surrounded by fire, wind, water, and earth lances. As the sound of his slow firm footsteps becomes apparent*

A bandit: "Who's there? Show yourself!"

*A fire lance burns him alive.*

*As Colt walks around the cave looking terrifying yet calm, he tears apart any enemies he encounters, not even bothering to use "static" until he reaches the boss of this cave.*

The boss [bulky man, blonde-hair, dark dead blood lustful eyes]: "I commend you for making it this far, but, this is your end. I used to be a high-ranking adventurer and a silent caster as well, so, say your prayers, kid."

A silent caster, huh? A worthy lab rat at last.

*As the boss tries to cast multiple spells of fire, water, and wind, Colt just stands there in silence, pointing at him, surprisingly, not a single spell works*

The boss [terrified, shocked, and frustrated]: "What's happening?!! I can't use a single spell, what did you do?"

"Magic disrupt"… it was a theory of mine, whenever someone casts a spell his aura glows, so I send a concentrated beam of magic, like a laser, to disrupt the flow of magic aura, which in turn destroys the spell…glad that worked.

Colt [sarcastic and sadistic]: "Oh, what's wrong?? Are you too scared to even attack me you silent caster?? Ha, you're a pathetic excuse for an adventurer, go to your mommy, crybaby."

The boss [pissed and moving to attack]: "Don't you mock me you bra-"

*Colt takes out his limbs with four elemental lances. The boss stares in shock for a second before feeling the pain, then screams*

Colt [cold and indifferent]: "You know, your voice is really annoying… die already."

*Stabs him through the heart using an earth lance. And with that, no signs of life remain in the cave*

[scene : Colt walking outside of the cave, the entrance to his back, Colt getting closer and closer]

After that, I took everything I could find which was mostly money and supplies, these wastes of resources were eating well.

[Dark smile]

Cleaning complete.
