Chapter 9 - Massacre (1)

"Where do you think you're going with notifying the headmaster ?" Said the leading figure of a group of five. This figure was who Horo knew to be the third elder, he was one who always made things more difficult for Horo in silence. 

"How would I inform headmaster when he is not present at the time" Horo responded. The second elder said "you could have received permission to leave before his departure, even though it wouldn't matter much. Headmaster is already aware of your scheme to escape and never return, how could you think we were ignorant enough to not notice how different you have been lately. You should obediently remain in your cage like the dog that you ar… 

Before third elder could finish his words, he noticed the other figures that were a step behind him retreat a distance, then the last thing he seen was his body as his head had rolled off of his neck. Horo had actively used his trait "lightless eyes" in order to gain an instance to swing his blade, and the instant he did a thin black mark was left on third elders neck. The other figures that were part of third elders unit instantly went into action, the first first thing they did was sound the alarm which was not really an alarm but a mental signal sent to all members of silence informing them of what was happening, and stated that headmaster order them to not allow horo to leave at all cost. They also let everyone know that Horo has been hiding his true prowess, and that they need to go all out when facing him. While doing this they were already setting up in a formation to detain Horo, but they didn't know that that strike that killed third elder was only the tip of the iceberg. Before they could finish preparing a black chain that had a curve blade at the end whipped through the air and sliced off the necks of two of the figures nearest to each other before they could react. 

Before their heads rolled off of their necks he was upon a third figure delivering a devastating elbow that shimmered with a black light to the chest,  as the blow landed the figure was hit with three impacts, the first crushed every bone in his torso, the second disordered the flesh of his entire body, the third left him looking like meat paste. 

He didn't see what was left of the figure because he had already retreated due to sensing killing intent coming from every direction. This did not deter him in anyways way he had only retreated to access the situation. He felt slight danger from nearly a hundred figures if not more, but extreme danger from nine figures yet to be seen. Since he knew the only way to escape was to go all out and kill until no one was in he way he decided to to no longer hold back and unleashed his killing intent and aura which flooded the surroundings. It made the highly trained silence members shiver and feel chills at the back of their necks, and that even included the nine figures in hiding who were at the awakened realm, with 3 being at the peak of the realm. 

Everyone stood in place waiting for the first move to be made and not a shred of sound could be heard. All of a sudden pitch black chains shot out of Horo's eyes at lightening speed and pieces through dozens of canon fodders and dragged them into the realm of the dark ones, which was the space in his lightless eyes, to be dealt with accordingly. This happened while he approached stronger opponents, sending soul crushing blows to the torso for maximum lethality, as the multiple impacts from each blow would  do the job of wasting them beyond recognition or leaving them crippled. 

Every couple of seconds he would take out at least ten opponents, as he continued his massacre he suddenly felt his hair's raise. The first thing he did was activate the second gear of black light and an illusory looking armor, that looked like it was forged in hell, with the face of a demon that had glowing red eyes on it appeared over his body. The same instant he leaned his head forward in a strange way, without ducking or moving any other part of his upper body. This could only be accomplished through special training, and he did it to keep his head from being sliced off as a unseen blade swiped pass the back of his neck, while a blow that crushed the air hit him in his abdomen. Luckily the second gear of his black light's passive defensive was special due to being linked with his energy armor spell, and the energy he used was his unmatched in purity negative energy and his monstrous killing intent that physically manifested, this absorbed 80% of the damage from that blow to the abdomen.
