Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: The Massacre of Chutan

As "Earth" was leading his troops in battle he was fairly easily pushing back the enemy. It seemed that he would reclaim the planet without incident. Suddenly a massive spike emerged from the ground and shot towards "Earth".

He managed to avoid the attack by jumping away and blocking it. When he landed he noticed a man standing in front of him.

"You! What did you do????" "Earth" howled in a rage.

Back in the Vandal King's throne room.

"Sire, do you think it will be ok to send Draco by himself? He does have a reputation for being, well dangerous, for friend and foe alike. I'm not concerned about him being victorious. I'm just worried that we will see mass casualties on our side regardless of whether he wins or loses." An attendant said to the king.

"You're right about that. But unfortunately we don't have the luxury of sending someone with him to keep him in line. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but unfortunately, everything on Chutan is about to die." The King said.

Draco Wallkava

Age: 31

Ht: 6'10

Wt: 243

Special Ability: Massacre Spikes

When "Earth" landed he saw not only the man standing across from him, but also the impaled corpses of all his men around him.

"What did you do to these men?!???!" "Earth" shouted.

"It's not just these men. All of your men have been killed in the same manner, as well as every other living creature on this planet." Draco said.

"What? Including your men? And the innocent civilians?Why would you do that???" "Earth" said in horror.

"It's pretty simple actually. It's difficult to control my ability in a range that covers the entire planet. So I set it to attack anything with a heartbeat. It's not like I was trying to slaughter them. Though it's not as though I care either." Draco said indifferently.

"You're insane. This was a small planet, but still there were tens of thousands of people here. How could you do something so barbarous?" "Earth" asked.

"I don't need to explain my self to you. It's only natural to kill those who are weaker than you." Draco said dismissively.

"Earth" had become enraged to the point that his veins were bulging in his face. "You've made me feel anger for the first time in over a decade. You will come to regret that. No one alive has ever seen my full power, and by the end of this day, that will still be true."

That day all 10,000 of "Earth's" troops were killed along with the 20,000 Vandal soldiers and the 40,000 civilians were all brutally killed by Draco's attack, bringing the total casualties to over 80,000. At the conclusion of his battle with "Earth" the planet of Chutan was completely reduced to nothing but rubble. Rubble, and a patch of land large enough to properly bury the dead. The incident would later be called the Massacre of Chutan.

"I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect you all." "Earth" said as he said a prayer for the dead.

As for Draco Wallkava, he was not buried with the others. There was not enough of his body left to bury.

Just as with the others "Light" had also encountered a member of the Vandal Royal Guard during his mission.

Maximo Akino

Age: 38

Ht: 6'8

Wt: 394 lbs

Special Ability: Indestructible

"You have quite the reputation Mr. "Light". It's an honor to be able to defeat someone of your stature." Maximo said, being unintentionally condescending.

"Light" stood there with bloody knuckles and was breathing heavily. He had been striking Maximo repeatedly, but to no avail.

Maximo's ability allows him to become completely invulnerable to damage as long as he stands completely still. The battle between the two was a clash of polar opposites. Between the light speed unstoppable force of "Light" and the indestructible immovable object of Maximo.

"I'm afraid continuing to attack me won't do you any good. If you just give up I'll spare the lives of you and your men." Maximo said.

"Light" ignored him and thought to himself, "Nothing I do is working. If his ability really does make him invincible then how can I beat him? There's no such thing as a perfect ability. In order to have such a powerful ability, there has to be an equally large weakness to balance it out. I just have to figure it out."

After hours of failed attempts to damage his opponent, "Light" was starting to get exhausted.

"Ah perfect! This is what I had been waiting for!" Maximo exclaimed. "Light" was so exhausted that he couldn't defend himself against Maximo's onslaught. As Maximo attacked, "Light" made an attempt to counterattack but it was easily dodged as he was too tired to launch the attack with his usual speed.

"Ha! You don't know it but you just lost this battle!" "Light" shouted jovially.

"Oh how unfortunate. It seems I've hit you so hard you've become delusional." Maximo said.

"It was the fact that after taking every hit for hours, he dodged a jab that barely had any power behind it. He must only be invincible while he's standing still." "Light" thought. "I need to finish this fight in one hit so he doesn't know I figured out his ability. This might be my only chance to win."

Beyond Light Speed Punch: Destruction Glow!!!!!

"Light's" fist started to glow with a bright light and he struck Maximo as he rushed in for another attack, causing a massive explosion. After his attack Maximo was still standing, while "Light" was sprawled out on the ground with his hand and arm completely mangled.

"I have to say I can tell you put your all into that attack, I managed to stop myself just in time. Unfortunately I guess it wasn't enough-" Maximo said as he collapsed to the ground dead.

"Tch, he managed to react to my beyond light speed punch. That's the second time in the past few weeks my speed hasn't been enough. Second time I broke my arm too." "Light" said contemplatively as he lost consciousness.

"Light's" soldiers would go on to defeat the Vandal forces with little to no issue, and take back their designated planet. With that, a third of the Vandal Royal Guard had been defeated. However, not every battle would go so smoothly.

"So you're supposed to be some kind of Imperial Elite? How pathetic." A man said as he stood over the broken and defeated body of "Water".
