Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 16: Killing spree

Nix was bound with the carriage, and he was in confusion when he saw the situation. Outlaws were going on a rampage in the city and were in immense battle. The tall buildings and streets were burning. The sky was dark filled with smoke and the air was dense mixed with a burning smell.

The outlaws and city guards and other Regulars in that area were immersed in a bloody battle. Empyrean contains basically two factions of people from the Earth. The faction of people opposite to Outlaws is called Regulars. And the other faction of people who are called Outlaws tends to move in a path of terrorism and lawlessness.

He turned his gaze towards where Rebecca was running. She took a stance and inserted her Magic power into her sword and red flames started to cover her sword she rushed towards the men who were killing civilians and sliced a man's head in an instant. Swiftly another man cast magic towards her it seemed like a ball of Lightning.

"zwinggggg"

she swung her sword directing towards the Magic ball which was coming from the guy.

"shrrriik"

With a sound, A Red wave of energy with flames unleashed from her sword sliced the lightning ball into two and neutralized it, and it didn't stop there. The force of the unleashed energy went towards the magician and severed him into two.

"ahhhh"

A grunt escaped from the magician's mouth just before getting split into two. Quickly a man wearing grey hoods came. His speed was so great that she was delayed to respond to his attack so his dagger went near her neck but she simply turned and dodged the assassin's attack and chopped his arm.

"ahhhh You bi...."

Before he could speak his throat was torn by her. Without stopping she went on slaughtering people endlessly.

Nix's Jaw dropped as he saw Rebecca massacring Outlaws like, it wasn't a big deal and what's more Nix felt frightened as she had a smile on her face while doing those things.

'Holy smokes! she is battle-hungry to fight, and she isn't having a hard time! I have to escape this place, or I will end up dead.'

While running he had many things on his mind.

"wieeeyyyy"

The creatures attached to the carriage squealed in pain and fell to the ground. Seems like they've been killed and the drivers appeared to have escaped. He felt some people walking on the roof of his carriage.

Suddenly a shirtless bald burly man with bruises and cuts with a well-groomed short beard jumped down facing Nix. He took his sword and came to attack Nix.

"stop! I am an outlaw!"

Nix shouted, closing his eyes while raising his hand. He waited a few seconds and didn't feel pain.

'Am I still alive?'

Nix slowly opened his eyes and he saw the bald man smiling at him.

"But you are funny, seriously you are an outlaw?"

" "

Nix didn't say a word he just turned around and lifted his shirt showing his Horned skull tattoo as proof.

The man sighed.

"hah, I don't want to hear anything about how you became an outlaw as soon as you arrived here. Here take this" He threw a sword to Nix and added "kill everybody, civilians, soldiers, and Regulars. Kill whatever you see on sight and follow me while you do it. There's no more instruction necessary I guess."

After getting the sword Nix Removed the gauntlet and put it in his Inventory since he didn't feel comfortable handling it.

SFX: Tanggg!

He struck the chain and started rushing to the internal part of the city, where there wasn't any fire caught up yet.

"Whoa! Mister Nix, I told you to be inside the carriage."

Rebecca's voice came from his back.

He turned to look at her reflexively.

"shriiikkkk"

she sent a wave of energy towards him.

"zwinnhgg"

The bald man blocked it and rushed towards her with a smile, It wouldn't be a lie if Nix said that he seemed like a completely mad person as he had a grin on his face.

"Mister Nix looks like you got yourself associated with outlaws too quickly. I am disappointed in you. I thought you were not a bad person. looks like I am wrong," Rebecca said with a smile.

The burly man gave a mocking smirk directing towards her.

"Knight Rebecca! It's been a long time. How have you been?"

" "

She didn't say a word and ran towards him and started to exchange blows and huge sparks and repulsive force released as they started fighting each other.

Nix's jaw dropped as he laid his eyes upon their extremely fierce battle. Their monstrous strength and their sheer killing intent they both were emitting were nothing to talk about. He wasn't even able to read their moves.

"What the hell?" He mumbled.

Rebecca tried to attack from the rear, front, sides. She tried every possible way with her swordsmanship while the bald man gave her an equal footing and good swordsmanship.

The bald man turned to Nix.

"Tch, Newbie go with other outlaws and kill everything you see on sight and finish this siege and you will be rewarded with a power."

'Power? Siege?'

"A tempting offer isn't it Mister Nix? And If you do that I think you will become full-fledged Outlaw."

'What should I do? Dammit, why does it all always become a mess like this? And why am I always getting in trouble after I came to this bloody Empyrean?'

He gazed at the fiercely burning battlefield which was a peaceful city moments ago. He stared at the outlaws and city guards and Regulars battling each other helplessly.

He decided to run away from the place. He pushed his leg from the ground giving his all and began running away from the Knight and the bald man who was viciously fighting each other.

As he ran, few Outlaw members were already inside the city and almost fifty Outlaws joined with Nix in an Instant.

'How did these Many outlaws infiltrated inside the city this fast?'

"Dude? Are you a fellow Outlaw?"

Nix heard a voice from his rear as he shifted his head to his rear, he saw a man who looked like a junkie. He lifted his back shirt and showed the tattoo-like he had to show it as verification every time they ask for proof.

"Yes"

"Hmm nice to meet you, I saw you with commander Waltner. yo, why don't we start the fun?"

He greeted and rushed towards the proximity, which wasn't attacked yet with other outlaws. Nix had no idea what to do so he followed them.

The Junkie looking man who entered the unattacked area started rushing towards the civilians and went on a killing spree with his teammates they sliced innocent women, men, children. Nix, who saw the scenario, ceased running and stood in his place with shock.

"Fuck!" He mumbled.

"yo, buddy don't you want to have some fun? Here take this bitch" He threw a woman who he had clutched by her hair. She fell in front of him with teary eyes kneeling and looking up at him with pitiful eyes.

"Please let me go! Please let me go!"

She begged Nix With teary eyes while other outlaws were doing their job and some were eagerly waiting for Nix to make a move.

" "

"Yo She is yours, remove her clothes and have some fun or use her as a toy whatever you wish for. why are you waiting?"

Nix's eyes reddened as he clenched his fist while gritting his teeth to endure his surging anger.

'What the fuck should I do? This is inhumane... There are almost approximately fifty outlaws. How can I fight these people?'

He turned his gaze and scanned almost ten people who could catch up with him. If he started acting heedlessly, he gazed down at the woman who was still looking at him with terror. He took his hands towards her and yanked her by her hair and made her stand.

"I am sorry," Nix mumbled and pushed her towards the junkie-looking guy. He pretty much-tried to act rach like an Outlaw with his acting.

"Yo, You are boring.. boooo! Acting sensitive and so much for being a wimp..."

The woman stared at Nix for the final time.

The Junkie-looking man tore her sleeve and choked her forcing upon a wall and gazed at Nix with an evil smile.

"hahaha, Now I will show you how to have fun."

Nix's blood began to boil as he looked at the woman's deep eyes. Her eyes seemed to be fell into the deep abyss of despair screaming for help to Nix.

"Please help! Please Help me!"

She started screaming for help while staring at Nix like she was particularly asking for help from him.

He wasn't the type who would help everybody and tries to be like a hero but he can't be stated as a bad guy either since he had some moral value and a sense of justice.

"Fuckers!"

With a curse, he tightly clutched his sword and roused his mana.

He swung his sword and waves of black energy released from his sword injured the Junkie Guy.

"Nah, Now This is fun! You bastard! Come on!" The Junkie grunted and started racing.

"Come on you Fucker" With a curse Nix rushed towards him and suddenly vanished and emerged behind him and cut his throat.

"Everyone attack that backstabbing Fucker" Someone from the outlaws shouted.

Nix Took a stance getting ready to fight back.
