Shin and Sen stood in front of the building...
"This is the place... Huh?" Shin asked.
"According to Vermis' coordinates, this is the place," Sen said as he checked the coordinates again.
"Let's just go, man." He gestured for Shin to go first.
"So what did Vermis say again?" Shin asked.
"I think it was... 'ask first, then kill'? I don't know..."
Sen shrugged.
"Hmm... So, incapacitate everyone is what we should do?" Shin scratched his head.
"Yep... I guess so."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get inside," Shin said, moving forward.
The two brothers approached the building but stopped as men with guns blocked their path.
"Stop right there! State your business here!" A guard shouted.
"Whoa, calm down! Isn't it obvious? We're here to buy slaves," Shin said, raising his hands.
"You know, doing this without killing them is kinda hard..." Sen whispered, following Shin's acting.
"What are you two whispering?!" The guard snapped, pointing their guns at their faces.
"Calm down, boys. Like I said, we're here to buy useful slaves," Shin said, raising his hands even higher.
The guards slowly approached them, patting them down.
"Alright, you can pass through," one of the guards gestured toward Shin.
"You, on the other hand..." He stopped in front of Sen.
He looked at Sen's sword. "Weapons aren't allowed. Hand it over," he said.
"As a man, you know taking a weapon is like stripping a man of his armor. So, how about I don't?" Sen gripped the handle of his sword, his stance steady.
"Is that a threat?" The guard smirked and, trying to assert dominance, pushed Sen slightly.
"Give up your sword and we won't have a problem, got it?" The guard grinned, still holding his position.
"Listen, man... Stop touching me," Sen said, his voice low. He lifted the sword to show the guard. "Besides, the blade's broken anyway." He pointed to the shattered edge, leaving only the handle. "Who the hell carries a useless weapon?"
The guards laughed at him.
"Can I pass now?" Sen said, forcing a smile, his eyes cold, clearly wanting to decapitate them.
"Yeah, you can pass through... just don't stab anyone with that scary handle, haha," the guard mocked.
Sen walked past them, catching up with Shin, who had been waiting by the entrance, watching the scene unfold.
"You held back, great job, Sen." Shin said as he patted his back. "Let's get this over with..." Sen walked inside the place.
Shin followed up. Once they're inside they took a glance at each other. "If it's inhumane we get to kill this bastards right?"
"It's slavery it's very inhumane Sen of course we have every right to kill them. It's going to be justified." Shin then walk up into the door where the court are. They're already hearing the voices of crowds betting.
"Disgusting bastards." Shin said he clenched his fist and then open the door.
He wipe his emotions instantly and walk into the court. Alot of high powered or people that have resources betting on human lives.
"Do I hear 10 silver?" The host with the mic asked.
"20 silver for that human!" One of the rich bastards raised his hand.
"No offense? Okay sold!" The host then gesture his men to bring the slave woman to the guy.
Shin and Sen sit on the very back of the court watching in disgust and bloodlust to kill everyone in this room. "I'll slice their throats open..." Sen clench his fist.
The slave woman is bruised up and beaten up. "Please just kill me..." She beg the man that bought her.
He drag the woman out of the court room... Shin followed up. "Shut up woman... Haha I'm gonna have so much fun. Your body is mine to touch I bought you fair and square."
"Please don't... Kill me please..." She cried out. The man drag her to one of the bedroom of this place it's for people to enjoy their slaves. "Please I'm begging you...!"
He dragged her inside the room and throw her to the bed. "Oh I'll enjoy this. Scream or ask for help whatever you want I bought you and you're my property now. That's just how it works." He said as he take off his clothes.
A tall silhouette appear behind him...
Shin grab the guy and slowly tear his throat apart with his bear hand... "Mmm!? BlURRH!" The guy in pain drowning in his own blood the last thing he has seen before dying is a dark eyes filled with blood lust.
The woman is shock by the brutality. "What are you gonna do to me...?" She asked still pretty flabbergasted. "Shh... I'm... Or we are here to save people like you who have been used." Shin said as he place his other hand. That he didn't use to kill the guy on the woman's mouth.
The woman look up on him. "Who are you...?" Still pretty shook after witnessing a guy get his throat rip open by bare hands.
"I'm Shin... Let's just say I'm the new hope." Shin smiles at her and offer his hand.
Her eyes began watering...
"I...y-you save people...?" She's stuttering at her words. "Yes I'm not alone my brother is here. Do you believe in angels?" Shin smiles at her.
"I...I don't know..." Shin chuckles. "Me and my brother will save the rest of the people here and burn this to place to the ground."
"It's your choice to come with us or not." He softly said. "What's your name?" The woman took a deep breath. "Kaide... I have brothers here... Will you please save them as well? I beg you." She wipe tears from her eyes.
"As I said. I and my brother will save everyone that have been treated bad and I promise. I Shin will kill everyone who treated people inhumane." Shin said as he wipe the blood on his hand.
"I promise you Kaide. Your siblings will be saved. I give you my word." He goes and search the body of the man he killed and surprisingly found a handgun. A Magnum to be exact.
"Can you use this?" Shin hands her the gun. "Yes... A little bit." Kaide took the gun.
On the other Side Sen is watching the court watching. A kid will be the next slave to be auctioned. "Here's a strong and young slave starting at 15 silver!" The host with the mic said.
The kid started crying out of fear. Thinking his life will be ruined very soon. "I can't take this anymore..." Sen clench his fist veins started appearing on his forehead. He wanted to kill every single one of this monsters.
"25 silver for that brat!" A woman said as she raised her hand. "Going once? Going twice?" The host said. "50 silver!" Sen raised his hand.
"Tch..." The woman slam her table. "Who's this bastard..." She glares at Sen. "And sold!" The host said. They drag the kid to Sen. The kid are tearing up because of how rough and terrible he's been treated.
The kid beg Sen. "Please mister... End my misery. I beg you..." Sen didn't hesitated and hugged the kid. "Do not be afraid. I'm here to save you." He whispered to the kid.
"Hmmph look at them hugging that dirty thing." The woman laugh at them. "You there guy slaves are slaves they're just a "Tool" don't grow affection to them."
Sen's tighten his hold into the kid. He felt angry more Veins appeared on his arm. "I'll get you out of here." He whispered to the kid.
"Hmm... Pathetic if you won't use slaves for how they're meant to be used I can buy the kid back if you want to." The woman smirked.
Sen couldn't handle it anymore he glares at the woman his eyes. Felt so dark, it felt very sharp. "Wh-what... Don't give me that glare..." The woman laugh nervously. Her composure fading away.
Back to Shin...
"Kaide do you know where others are being held?" He asked. "Yes follow me... They're in the lower level of this building." Kaide gestures.
"It's surprising you don't raise any suspicion to me..." Shin asked as they move their way into the supposed to be stair way on the other side of the building.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend as they say... And today my enemies is this soulless bastards who buy slaves to do their work..." She said her words packed a heat.
"After the demons broke the society and the world we may still got technology and everything but the morals have been set to... I don't know the dark ages back where morality are low." They continued moving.
They eventually reached the hallway where the supposed to be stairs are. "Is this it? Shin asked. Kaide nodded. "Yes this is it this is where we're kept captive before being sold."
They opened the door and not surprising. The bottom is dark and cold. "So you and the others felt very uncomfortable down there." Shin shine his flash light down.
"It's very cold and dark there... The only comfort we have is the voice of others..." Kaide walked down first.
"I'll be honest with you." Shin followed her down. "...I'm listening." She continues going down.
"After we save everyone including you. I will kill each host, guards and every people that bought and treat people slaves." Shin calmly said. "...You're joking right...?" She gulp.
"Who exactly are you?" Kaide stopped and looked at him. "I already told you we're the new hope." Shin look at her as well.
"New hope my ass. You just ripped that guy's throat with bear hands!" Shin rolled his eyes. "The guy who are trying to violate you... You're welcome!"
"...Thanks... I'm not trying to be ungrateful I'm just shock that someone could die horribly like that." She sigh. "Thank you Shin. If you are not there I would have gotten my dignity stolen and violated."
Shin softly said. "Kaide. From now on you and everyone you know will be saved by us. I'm not trying to be Naive or be a hero... But believe us we try everything to save others including murdering the threat. Believe us or not we carry hope."
"...I'll be honest with you Kaide. I don't find any pleasure or fun into killing. Even though they're bad people." Shin take the lead and walk Infront of her.
On Sen's point of view:
After he glared at the woman, he continued comforting the kid. "What's your name?" he asked softly.
"...Hans," the boy replied in a whisper.
"What a good name. Name's Sen, and I'll be the one who will save you." He smiled warmly at him, holding his shoulder gently.
From the side of the room, chuckles broke out among a small group of well-dressed onlookers.
"Aw, isn't that sweet? The hero's gonna save the day," one man jeered, adjusting his ornate jacket. "How noble of you, playing savior in a place like this."
"Don't waste your time on trash, kid," a woman added, smirking as she leaned against a post. Her nails, painted a deep crimson, glinted in the dim light as she gestured lazily at Hans. "Slaves are meant to be used, not coddled. You might as well pet a stray dog."
Another voice chimed in, dripping with mockery. "Bet he thinks he's some kind of knight in shining armor. Newsflash, buddy: no one cares. That kid's just another body waiting to be broken."
Sen's jaw tightened, but he didn't take his eyes off Hans.
"...Hans," he whispered, his voice steady despite the venom around him, "later, I want you to hide somewhere. I promise I'll come back for you. But for now, just stick with me."
The boy nodded weakly, his grip on Sen's sleeve tightening.
The laughter continued, fading into murmurs as Sen stood, his gaze hardening. Though his heart burned with rage, he forced himself to stay calm—for Hans' sake
Back on Shin...
They eventually reached the bottom.
"Move aside." Shin kicked down the metal door with ease. "Whoa... Are you even a human?!" Kaide replied with mixed reaction of shock and seeing him cool.
"Focus." Shin continuesly walk down the hallway where at the end is the last door. "There they are... The last door was where me and the other slaves are locked..." Kaide followed back behind Shin.
Emotions began feeling Kaide as the thought of seeing her siblings overwhelmed her. "My god... Thank you for helping me see my brothers again... I own you my life."
"Well... It's kinda our job to save people you know you don't have to own me your life." They continued heading down the hallway.
"Still... Whether you want it or not. I own you my life." She said smiling while tears of joy are running down in his eyes.
Shin smiled softly and. They finally reached the end of the hallway. "Behind this is everyone right?"
The in dark room. People heard them. "HELP US!" a man's voice said. "We beg you please open the door!" A woman's voice said.
"Stand back!" Shin said. "Shin this door is not metal... It's made of some kind of a tough iron... Even bombs cannot dent this door..." Kaide said.
Shin didn't care what's the door made off. His fists started flaming... Kaide stand back in surprised. She is surprised Shin is very strong and can tear people's throats with each and tear down a metal door. But seeing his hands flaming is something else.
"What are you...?" After that Shin punch the door making a big hole in it. "There everyone out!"
Shin's punch is so strong that it shaked the basement and made the lights flicker a bit and the dust from the room after the heavy door hits it surrounds them.
Kaide and the slaves. Saw Shin's silhouette behind the dusts and lightning conjured up a silhouette of wings for a second behind Shin's silhouette...
Kaide... Drop down from the shock wave of Shin's punch. Looking up at him with Awe and admirations.
Behind the hole. The slaves saw his silhouette they're shook as well... They never thought a man would punch a tough iron that cannot be dent by a bomb so strong that it didn't just dent the iron but also put a huge hole in it.
"Our savior!" A woman voice said. They crawl out of the hole and comes towards Shin after the dust dismisses.
"Has anyone seen my siblings?!" Kaide asked in worried tone as she can't find them inside the room. "I'm sorry sweetheart..." A woman said. Her name is terra.
"What!? Are they gonna be sell now?! They're kids?" Kaide didn't mean to yell out of frustration... "I'm sorry we tried to protect them... But this people just doesn't have any care on who they hurt for money and resources." Terra looked down. And the rest of the slaves as well feeling guilty as they couldn't save the kids.
"They're in the court now?" Shin asked. Terra looked up at Shin and said with a voice of a sad and filled with guilt voice. "Yes they are..." Terra answered.
Shin light pat Kaide's shoulder. "You don't need to be worried your siblings will be safe. My brother is on the court eyeing at them. He probably bought them."
"Bought them...? To save them?" Kaide's eyes started tearing up fearing she might not see them again.
"Correct. After that you and your brothers and the rest of you should wait us outside."
Shin said as he gesture them to get moving.
Back to Sen's point of view...
"Let's get out of here Hans." Sen gently lift up Hans. They're about to go but.
"And for the best slaves we have two more kids healthy and surely can work for hours!" The host said.
Sen clench his fist and turn his back around. Ready to buy them to save them. "Damnit..."
Hans too a look at the kids... And recognize they're his brothers... "... My brothers." Sen gently pat his head. "Don't worry I'll save them."
Of course the rich bastards wants the youngest slave because they are strong and can be forced into work because of Youth strength. "100 silver! For that two!" A man's voice can be heard across the action room.
"130 silver for those two." A woman said. "Damn this... People..." Sen clench his fist even harder. "Wanting slave young as them..."
The same woman who mocked them find amusement into Sen's frustrations. "Hmm. You must know that we rich are the one in control here boy."
Sen without hesitation. "550 silver for that kids!" The host smirked. "Listen here mister. If you're buying them to save them I'm afraid we Can't give them to you." The host grin in greed.
"What?! I bought them fair and square!" The host continue grinning. "I'm afraid mister that's not how it works. Slaves are meant to be slaves."
"That doesn't... That doesn't make any fucking sense! Give them to me now!" Sen almost pulled his sword out... But the plan still isn't on so he held back.
The others laugh at him. "Boy you should know this is a slave auction not a fund foundation." A old man said. "What will you get for buying them and not using them hm?" His wife asked in a mockery toned.
Back to Shin's point of view.
They eventually reached the exit of the building. The guard earlier saw them and tried to stop them.
"HEY!" the guards point their guns Infront of Shin's face. "I know you and your partner is up to something." The guard said in mockery. "So where's the other one with the sword handle huh? Talk before put a hole into your head."
"Do what he says!" The other guard said. The other guards pinned the slaves on the wall seizing them up. "You dirty people get on the ground! Do not resist or we won't hesitate to kill you all!"
"How currupted are you to think of them as an object? Hm?" Shin said in a calm tone the gun is still pointed in his head.
"Oh buddy we don't care we're getting paid and getting fed to guard them. So get back and face the ground." A guard said grinning at him thinking he is just a "wanna be hero" guy.
"You and your comrades could still walk away." Shin said his face is calm yet his eyes are fierce. "I'm the guy with the gun. As if you can do anything." The guard said laughing at him.
"You're just a nobo-" Shin teared the guy's neck. "HOLY SHIT!" The other guards pointed their gun at him and shoot.
"Shin used the body to shield the bullets and slowly walks to the other guard. "STAY BACK!" the other guards stopped shooting because they might shoot their comrade.
"I SAID STAY BA-" Shin. Without hesitation grab the guard's gun and shove it into his mouth through his body Literally...
3 guards left... Shin slowly walked to the rest of the guards shocked. Too shocked to move. "Stay back..." One guard said who is freezed in fear. "I'm not bad." Shin said before knocking him out. And the rest of the guard with a held back punch.
The slaves are also shock and freeze in fear after seeing how brutal Shin is. "I... You killed those men without hesitation..." Terra the old lady said.
"Thank you Shin for saving us again... Everyone! Shin maybe is very brutal but don't forget he is our savior!" Kaide said.
"Everyone. Wait for me here I'll go back inside to find Kaide's brothers." Shin said as he clean his hands. "I'm coming with you." Kaide said.
"It's better for you to stay here." As he is about to go inside again. "What? No they're my brothers I should go with you." Kaide said she wouldn't just wait.
Seeing the determination on Kaide's eyes being relate to her as Sen's older brother he will kill everyone to save Sen. "Of course you will... Come on."
Kaide instantly followed up after hearing his permission.
"I promise I won't hold you down."
"Shin scoffed. "Oh, I know..." Shin opened the door and headed inside again to finish what they started.
Back to Sen's point of view...
"I bought them for a fair price, hand them to me!" Sen demanded, but the people still saw him as a "joke."
"You're just a nobody bastard. Get out of here, boy." The woman sneered.
"Talking high for someone who wastes a human life by making others do the work for them..." Shin whispered to himself, holding back from slaughtering them all. Shin had told him not to kill anyone while saving the slaves to avoid causing commotion.
The host mocked Sen.
"You may have the money, but these fine slaves are worthless. How about I refund you your resources and give us back that brat?" Han's clung to Sen, fearing he might be taken away again.
"Leave him alone and give me the kids." Sen's voice grew more intense. "GIVE THEM TO ME NOW!" He was about to make a move.
"Someone's angry." The woman chuckled, mocking him further.
The crowd around them began murmuring, their cruel laughter filling the air like a toxic cloud. The woman leaned in, a cold smirk twisting her lips.
"Such a shame, boy," she taunted, her voice dripping with malice. "You really think we care about your morals? These are just tools to us, nothing more." She waved a hand dismissively at the slaves, as if they were no more than cattle.
The old man, leaning on his cane, snorted in disdain. "You're wasting your breath. These aren't people. They're labor. Young, old, doesn't matter. As long as they can work, they're worth the silver. That's all that counts."
Another man, his face twisted in greed, laughed darkly. "Look at you. You act like some kind of savior, but all you've done is make yourself look pathetic. You want to save them? Why bother? They're just going to end up in the same place, broken and used."
The woman who had mocked Sen earlier gave a cold, cruel laugh. "You've got the money, but it means nothing here. Slaves are slaves. If they can work, they're worth it. If they can't, well… there's always someone else willing to take them."
Sen's fist clenched, his nails biting into his palm as his voice dropped to a low growl. "I'll kill you all..." he muttered under his breath.
He was moments away from drawing his sword when the sound of the heavy door creaking open silenced the room.
All eyes turned as Shin stepped through, dragging a severed head by the spine. Blood dripped onto the floor in sickening rhythm, and his expression was as cold as death itself. Behind him stood Kaide, her eyes burning with determination.
"I'm back, Sen," Shin said flatly, tossing the head onto the ground like discarded trash.
Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd as Kaide sprinted forward toward her brothers. She didn't waste time—her hand shot to the magnum at her hip. Before anyone could react, she had it aimed squarely at the host's face.
"Let them go," Kaide demanded, her voice sharp and unwavering.
The host, who had grinned smugly moments before, now paled. His hands trembled as he raised them slightly. "Wait...! Calm down... Take it easy. Here, you can have them."
Kaide's finger hovered near the trigger, her glare never wavering. "Take the chains off their necks. Now."
The host hesitated, but the cold click of the magnum's hammer being cocked spurred him into action. He motioned to one of his assistants, who scrambled to unlock the chains from the terrified children's necks.
"Back off," Kaide ordered, stepping protectively in front of her brothers.
The tense silence shattered as an old man in the crowd pulled a revolver from his coat with a sneer.
"Dirty little girl," he spat, raising the gun toward her.
Before the trigger could be pulled, there was a flash of steel. The old man froze, staring at the bloody stump where his hand had been. His gun clattered uselessly to the floor as blood poured onto the ground.
"Stay down," Sen said coldly, lowering his blade as the old man collapsed to his knees, clutching his severed wrist and screaming in agony.
The room fell deathly silent once more. Kaide kept her magnum trained on the host, but her brothers clung to her sides, trembling. Shin stood like a statue, his gaze scanning the crowd for any other threats, his presence alone enough to snuff out any thoughts of resistance.
Shin walked down the stairs wiping his bloody hands on one of the rich women's dress disrespecting them in everyway.
"When we get out of this... I swear I will use everything in my power to get you hunted down." Shin continuesly wipes his bloody hand on her expensive white dress and then...
He slaps her very hard. "No one will get out of this building without a missing limb. I will rip and tear everyone one of you." He slapped her again giving her a reality check.
"Think of me as Michael the archangel. If you read the bible which I highly doubt considering your inside is rotten to the core."
Shin shouted at Kaide. "Take your siblings and yourself out of here and wait for us outside!" Kaide nodded.
As Kaide and her brothers walk away still pointing her gun to the people her guard still up. "Thank you Shin I own you my life."
They head out of the only exit. Silence surrounded the all of the rich bastards. As the siblings head out. Shin closed the only exit.
"Isn't it ironic that all of you here took human life's as a tool and now we're going to waste you all. Isn't that ironic?!" Shin laughed as he wrap a meal pipe around the door handle with his bare hands.
The people around them for once began to feel true fear as they can't hide behind their tons of wealth nor behind the people willing to protect them in exchange of resources.
The old man who had his hand cut off by Sen is still in agony and loud. "Sen would you put him out of his misery please?" Shin asked so kindly that it's terrifying.
"Why? I should let this bastard geezer die so fast?" Shin chuckle. "Because we're not monsters like them." He said as he walk down the stairs towards Sen.
"Yeah... You're right." Sen slowly push his blade into the old guy's skull. Blood gashing making the people realized that this two are so much more than heroes.
"AHHH! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY HUSBAND!?" The old guy's wife horrified by the face of her husband that now have a whole in his head through the skull.
Shin dropped the silliness and grab the old lady's face. "Of course we killed your husband. And you will meet the same fate as him." Without hesitation he crush her face and skull Infront of the others.
Outside the building...
The scream of the rich people can be heard by the slaves, Kaide and her brothers.
"God... I can't imagine what their fates are..." Kaide hold her brothers thankful to Shin and Sen that they're saved because of them yet she cannot deny their brutality is terrifying to unbelief.
Back inside.
People are screaming left and right. "PLEASE I BEG YO-" Shin didn't even let him speak and drive his fist through his face literally.
Shin grabbed another person and slowly but surely tear her limb apart. She scream and scream a horrifying scream and scene to be witnessed by ordinary people occured.
Sen on the other hand slice people limbs away or cut them in half. "Please I'm begging you I have a family to return!" The bastard said. "So as the slaves you used and killed when they didn't satisfied you." Sen mercilessly cut his head making it gush tons of blood and his head dangle from not being cut fully.
The people tried to fight back they jumped Sen trying to disarm him then try to beat him and kill him. They successfully disarm Sen. "What a pain in the ass." Sen said.
He started beating them up and killing them by snapping their neck one by one. He proves himself that he isn't just a swordsman he is a killer same as his older brother Shin.
Outside the building the screams of agony can still be heard.
"Serves them right..." Kaide said. "They can rot in hell..." She for once find it satisfying to hear the people's agony.
The other slaves agreed as well. They've been suffering for a long time and Shin and Sen saved them and now punishing the wicked.
"Yeah some people don't deserve their life..." A slave said. The pain and horrifying agony of the people inside still made their spine feel chills.
"Even though they deserve it... Those Scream of agony... Are terrifying." Kaide said as she try to cover her brothers ears. The slaves agreed also they deserve it but the scream of agony are blood curdling to them...
Back inside.
Shin and Sen are killing people left and right till Shin got a hold to the host.
"Please let me go... I have money I have silvers and a lot of weapons... I can give you a lot of food!" The host said his smug face now covered in fear and sweat.
"Do I look like I need a weapon?" Shin's hand started flaming a purple flame ignite his hand.
Shin's hand slowly yet surely crush the host neck watching him die slowly as the host eyes popped out of his head. Blood started coming out of the host nose and mouth.
Shin destroyed the host neck. It didn't stop there. He pulled out the host head with his spine.
Outside the building.
"It's been... A while..." Kaide held her brothers tightly worried about their lives now that they're free.
The entrance door open up.
Two silhouette appear on the door. They stepped out. Their saviors Shin and Sen stepped out of the door covered in the blood of their enemies.
"EVERYONE! FROM NOW ON YOU ALL ARE UNDER OUR PROTECTION!" Shin shouted with pride and confidence.
"Who's ready to have a home?" Sen followed up. "It's up to you people try your chances out here or follow us?"
The slaves hands starter raising including Kaide and her siblings.
They didn't see no one but angels that punish the wicked and saved the helpless Infront of them...
To be continued...
