Chapter 91: Payback
"Tell me…do you bleed?"
Ivan's cold voice sounded in the ears of the leader, and the latter's eyes shrank to the size of a needle; he didn't know when and how Ivan appeared in front of him so quickly.
Alerted, he immediately wanted to let out his Nexus energy when a sharp pain shot up his left knee.
Ivan had kicked his knee so strongly that the bone split and pierced out from his flesh, causing a bloody sight of shattered bones, ripped flesh, and dripping blood.
The pain was so strong that the leader wanted to let out a heart-wrenching scream, but before he could open his mouth, the back of Ivan's hand met his face; a swift and heavy slap that sent broken teeth, blood and saliva flying out of the man's mouth landed on his cheek.
The force of the slap was so strong that it lifted the man off his two feet and sent him flying to the side like a broken kite.
BOOM!
The man crashed into the remains of the old structures and came out through the other side, smashing into the ground heavily like a ragged doll.
The man lay motionless on the ground as if he was dead; they could only tell that he was still alive because of the mouth full of blood that he was constantly coughing out.
The leader stared at the sky, his expression was unreadable because of the blood covering his face. Many of his bones were broken, and some of his ribs stabbed into his lungs, making breathing unbearably painful and difficult; his entire body was screaming in pain, and he couldn't move a finger.
'How' he choked inwardly, unable to understand what had happened.
Back at where Ivan and the other three men were standing, Ivan slowly lowered the arm that he had used to slap the leader before turning to the next person with a cold glint in his eyes.
The three men were still standing there, their eyes wide open in shock. It took them time to wrap their minds around what had just happened, and it was as if their brains were not working for a moment; everything that had happened had taken only two seconds; they had not been able to see Ivan's movements clearly!
The first thing they saw was him vanishing from their sight and then appearing in front of their leader. Before they knew what was going on, the left knee of their leader suddenly exploded into a bloody mess before he was sent flying and was now constantly coughing out blood while lying on the ground like a dead person.
Just what in the world had happened?!
They all stared at Ivan, who was now facing them; a look of terror appeared on their faces.
"M-monster!" One of the men stuttered as he took several steps back, his knees trembling as a yellow patch appeared on his pants.
This kid had put their leader in such a state within two seconds, how could they possibly face such a demon?
"Just like you said, this is outside the border. If anything happens, it can be blamed on monsters." Ivan's voice sounded in the ears of the three, and they immediately felt cold hands wrapping their hearts; they felt a huge lump in their throats.
It turns out that Ivan has really tricked them; they were the ones who had misunderstood…no, they had underestimated him; they did not trap a weak kid, they were trapped with a monster!
A thought immediately formed in the minds of all three men.
Run!
Instantly abandoning any sense of shame and reasoning, the three middle-aged men turned tails and bolted into the distance, trying to get as far away from this white haired monster.
Ivan only watched this as a cold smile crept up his lips unknowingly, he looked just like a villain who enjoyed torture.
These three were only at the Mortal King rank; how could they possibly escape Ivan, who was at the Partial Lord rank?
Swoosh!
Ivan vanished from where he was standing, creating a gust of wind as he chased after them.
The first man had crossed five hundred meters by this time and was just a few kilometers away from reaching the open space that separated the outskirt and the border, a look of horror could be seen on his face as he ran with everything he had while praying like his life depended on it; his life did depend on it though.
"No one can answer your prayers, no one can save you from me"
A calm voice that sent shivers down the man's body sounded from the side; he slowly turned his head to look with desperate eyes, hoping everything would be his mind playing tricks, but what he saw made him almost go mad on the spot, and he immediately tripped.
Running beside him was Ivan with an expression that resembled that of a demon, it was a smile that only psychopathic killers would have.
Ivan also stopped running when the man tripped over and walked over to him.
" No, no! Please stop! Don't come here! I'm sorry, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to hurt you. I won't do it again, please!"
The man begged while crying profusely like a child, tears, and snort covering his face.
Ivan ignored all of this and calmly approached him, standing in front of the man, Ivan opened his mouth and mumbled.
"It's too late to apologize"
Immediately after saying those words, Ivan slapped the man's chest.
Sounds of bones popping rang out as Ivan destroyed the man's rib cage in a single slap.
The man cried out in agony as a fountain of blood gushed out from his mouth. Ivan did not intend to kill him quickly so he left him there and went after the other two.
It only took Ivan a couple of seconds to catch up to the other two men, he directly shattered one's pelvis with a kick rendered the man unable to move anymore, and blew off the legs of the other one before dragging him with his open wounds running the ground; Ivan completely ignored the man's screaming and pleading.
Chapter Discover:
A while later, Ivan had carried all three of them back to where their leader was; the four of them were now together.
None of them were dead yet, but only two were still able to talk; the other two just kept vomiting blood.
Ivan looked at the sight with a wide smile that made the men tremble, wondering what sort of demon Ivan had become.
"Don't you feel nostalgic about this? This was how it has always been, just the five of us; only that the roles are reversed this time," Ivan said with a devilish smile on his face
"You guys usually laughed a lot and looked happy, must have been fun," Ivan voiced out again as he stepped on the leader's already shattered leg and slowly applied force, letting out the sound of bones being crushed.
The leader, who was unable to make a sound, could only throw up more blood as the pain was driving him crazy.
Ivan watched this with a wider smile while the other three men looked at him fearfully.
He was a demon, a true demon from hell!
"Come on, laugh like you used to!" Ivan ordered as he pressed down with more force until the leg was completely destroyed.
Ivan wasn't done yet, moving to the other leg, he did the same thing.
The amount of blood that the leader vomited was already forming a small pond under him; the other three men fell into despair, knowing it would be their turn soon.
Ivan stopped after three minutes of walking the leader through a garden of agony, he did not kill the latter and left him after destroying all of his bones.
Ivan turned to the next person, it was the one who had his pelvis destroyed with a single kick.
"Congratulations, it's your turn," Ivan said to him with a smile.
The man was spooked. Ignoring his shattered pelvis and the excruciating pain he was feeling, the man fell on his front and began crawling away by pulling his body with his hands while screaming for Ivan not to get close.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Stomp!
Crack!
Ivan asked before stepping on the man's fingers, shattering them along with the ground.
"Ahhh!"
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered but Ivan wasn't done yet.
Stomp!×99
"Ahh!" ×99
The other two men watched in horror as Ivan stomped on the man's limbs and even his already shattered pelvis, they could only imagine the world of pain that their companion was experiencing and shivered.
Ivan continued for five minutes, he had been carried away and didn't know when he stomped on the man's body. In the end, the man was reduced to a bloody pulp of flesh and blood; not a single part of his body was left whole.
"Ah! That was unfortunate; I'll be more gentle with you two." Ivan shook his head with a sigh before turning to the last two.
"No! No! Please, ahhh!!!"
Screams that would make even the bravest of soldiers shake in terror filled the air as Ivan carried out multiple ways of torturing the three men, from breaking bones, tearing their flesh, and even inserting objects into them; it was a sight that would leave other traumatized for life!
