Chereads / Reincarnated Mayhem / Chapter 3 - 3. The Ambush

Chapter 3 - 3. The Ambush

At the camp soldiers with swords, others with books and some with just shields are seen

preparing

"Is everyone ready?" asked the Chief as he was doing last minute check ups

"We'll be heading up there soon enough, TOMURA!!"

"YES SIR" a shout came from the back

"Status report" said the Chief

"We've got two rank 1 fighters, two rank 1 tanks, two grade 1 barrier Mages, one grade 1 fire

Mage and one grade 1 wind mage sir

"For Support we have two grade 1 healers aswell as two grade 2 recon Mages Sir"

"Good get your men and move, the warping station is ready"

The soldiers aswell the Chief move towards a huge stone platform on the ground

"FORMATION" The Chief Shouts out

As the soldiers all prepare themselves for transportation one of the head researchers steps

up

"If you people are to see this beast kill on sight, from what we can tell the beast is a S rank

or higher"

This caused shocked faces to be soon from the soldiers face

The researcher then broke into a wide smile

"Worry not because if this mission is to be carried out perfectly, the legion will provide each

one of u with A powerful relic aswell as an upgrade from your current position"

"Good luck soldiers" with that the researcher went back inside

The stone platform suddenly started glowing brightly with a thrumming sound emanating

from it

"Well boys let's see how many of u can make it back"

A bright blue light and then the stone platform dimmed down smoke rising off of it

The researcher from before came back out and whispered something to the Chief

The Chief then approached the platform

"I'm sorry boys but I have to do this"

He charges his hand up with mana and brings it down onto the platform completely

destroying it

The researcher approaches him with a smile "If we can keep the beast well fed we could

make sure it never leaves the island"

The Chief turns around and grabs him by the collar "Listen up you sick son of a bitch I don't

care what the hell u do with them, I'm only doing this for my daughter"

He shoves the researcher to the ground and walks off

"and don't u dare forget it's because of the legion your daughter is still alive" The

researcher stumbles back up and Shouts at the Chief

"Go fuck yourself" The Chief shouts back and goes back into his tent

As the researcher fixes himself up he calls out to his assistant " Maurice, prepare the recon

nargles, Let's see how truly powerful our beast is"

Up on the Island

Jeff wakes up and as he gets up and stretches his arms out, he notices something weird

Last time he checked he didn't sleep in the middle of a Berry grove

So why the hell is he covered by berries of all kind

"what the hell happened Here , who brought all these" As he looks around in confusion he

finally sees the culprit

The creature he had made his summon was off to the side looking at him with a wide grin

on its face

"when I said get me some food, I didn't mean get me food for a whole year, honestly I can't

even be mad at u, I should've made my request more clearer"

As he did do he waved his hand and the shadow leapt back inside his shadow

"I'll name u gremlin, ALL RIGHT LETS EAT" As Jeff was devouring the berries

On the opposite side of the island

"Alright boys the plan is simple, our recon mages will pin point the location of the beast

then our fighters and mages will surround him

Tank and healers will stay together while recon will try to establish connection with the

Chief, Got it?"

"Yes sir" everyone said in unison

The recon mages Got to work using their sound based mana affinity

• Sound affinity specializes in recon

• Can be useful for tracking the enemy

• Special grade Mages are capable of produces powerful sound waves with this

affinity

Both of them grabbed each others arms and spread their mana through the ground and air

They then started to form a mental map of everything surrounding the island

In a few minutes they had found their target and it was… eating?

"Sir we have located the target, for a S tier beast it's quite small sir and it appears to be

eating something"

"Lead the way gentlemen" Tomura said as he looked at the forest with steady eyes

Deep inside the forest Jeff could be seen standing on a stone talking to himself

"Well that didn't fill up much, guess my hunger has been increased too

"I need some flesh to eat, wait I can just use this"

Jeff spread his hands out and started to sense the air around him

"holy shit this actually works, let's see who my next food is gonna be….

"Huh humans?"

As he was trying to locate any creatures around him he noticed 6 humans surrounding him

while another 6 were in the background

"This should be interesting, Oi gremlin I got a job for u"

As Tomura started approaching the beast he couldn't stop this foreboding feeling in his

heart, the feeling that this wasn't right

I mean why would they send grade 1 and below fighters out here to deal with an S grade

beast? It didn't make sense

"Tomura we're here, I have eyes on our target"

As Tomura looked forward he saw it munching away on a poor Animal just ravaging it's guts,

he then looked a bit more carefully and saw….

"are we sure the sensors picked up a S Grade beast?"

"why what happened" asked Axel the wind Mage next to him

"Because the beast looks like a goblin, but I've never seen one that glows red? Guess I can

just kill this one"

Tomura drops his hands down and breathes in the air surrounding his hands starts to heat

up as he pours almost all his mana into his most perfected attack

Fire magic: Great Fireball

Slowly but surely a spinning ball of fire starts to form infront of him, So hot that the people

around Tomura start to back up

"So this is the power of a grade 1 Mage huh" the others around him start to say

Just as Tomura is about to release it the fireball suddenly disappears

"what happened" sounds starts to arise

"Did u run out of mana?" The mage next to him asks

"Tomura wtf are you doing, now is not the time to show pity" says Axel

"I…I can't sense it" Tomura says in a whisper his face looked like he saw a ghost

"Sense what?, the beast is right fucking there, take the shot"

"I CANT USE MY MANA" Tomura screams out and turns around to face Axel

Axel was about to shout back when he saw something that made him almost faint

Right opposite to their spot on a branch of a tree

Two red glowing eyes

STARING. RIGHT. AT. THEM.

Axel pushes Tomura out of the way as a violent rush of wind appears right where Tomura

was standing

"Aww saving your friend are we?, Well who's gonna save u?"

Axel didn't even have time to put up a defence as a hand punched right through his

stomach

Everyone around them stared in shock As one of their comrades just got their organs torn

out

"YOU BASTARD" Tomura screamed out, he started to form another fireball while the

Monster was distracted

"You'll make a fine addition to my team Mr Saviour" Jeff said as his face broke out into a

wide smile

"WAKEY WAKEY"

Halfway through as the now summoned axel was getting out Jeff noticed Tomura preparing

an attack

"Mr saviour Protect"

As Tomura released his attack the shadow soldier jumped infront of Jeff and summoned an

attack of his own

Wind Magic: Wind vortex

A ball of compressed air immediately formed and shot out

"So they retain their abilities huh, good to know" Jeff thought

As both the attacks clashed a gigantic explosion of fire was sent out

The shadow soldier immediately set to protect his master

Wind magic: Air wall

A swirling ball of thick Wind mana formed pushing all the fire that got too close to them

On the opposite side Tomura immediately used all his remaining mana to pull all the fire

and compress it into his hand

The result?

Well due to Tomura using up all his mana the intense heat in his hand burned off everything

below his wrist

"Tomura y..your hand" One of the healers approached him to heal him

"No save your energy, listen gather everyone and get out of here I'll try and hold off this

monster"

"your hands are gone what more can u achieve Tomura" said one of the fighters

"Well we sure as hell aren't leaving you behind" said one of the tanks as he positioned

himself infront of Tomura

"Healers do your job and get him out of here, barrier mages support the rest of the fighters

and tell the recon team to contact the chief"

"I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS BASTA- *SKLLCH*

Before the guy could even finish Jeff had punched through his head in one punch

Everyone stared in shock As another one of their comrades brain matter was all over their

face

"WAKE UP MR TOUGH GUY"

As another shadow was added to his army Jeff turned around to look at the group

"GREMLIN, MR SAVIOUR AND TOUGH GUY, Take care of everyone"

"AHHHHHHHH"

"SPARE US"

"PLEASEE AHHHH"

"FUCK U MONS- *SPLAT*

By sunrise almost everyone was dead except

"What do you want, why are u doing this you killed everyone but me, TELL ME WHY"

Tomura cried out as he was forced to look at his friends

All of them

Gone

Dead

Turned into Monsters

By him

"Well I can't obviously kill everyone, someone needs to warn the world about me don't

they, and today's your lucky Day"

As Jeff said this he approached Tomura and grabbed his face

As Tomura waited for his life to end he suddenly felt all his pain disappearing and when he

opened his eyes he saw that his hands were back to normal , fully healed

"Tell your people that I'm sorry for murdering their toys, and tell them to leave me the fuck

alone"

Tomura nodded along to his words

"Oh and if they ask you who I am"

Jeff turns around to look Tomura in the face

His eyes flashing red

Tomura could feel his mana disappear again

"Tell them I am the end"

"Tell them I am the beginning"

"Tell them I am All For One
