Merged Soul: Reincarnated in a Dark World

Chapter 27: Murderous aura

DING! The elevator opened and three well armed guards came out with their fingers at the trigger ready to shoot at any irregularities.

They slowly marched towards the door which was at the end of the corridor, the lights on the wall now had a red glow creating an eerie atmosphere. The guard at the front gave hand signals and the other two nodded and moved towards the two thinner corridors which connected to the wide one to form a T shape.

The first guard continued moving, he finally arrived at the door and it automatically opened, before he could scan the room, a pale hand shot out and gripped his throat.

Derek stared at the guard who was struggling to breathe while trying to hit him, his silver eye glowed with brutality as with each step he took out of the room his grip became stronger, mild cracking sounds echoed.

The guard's body twitched a little before he became still, Derek had crushed his neck, he released his grip and the man fell to the ground.

Thud.

He stretched his hand and his dagger which he had pierced into the wall vanished and appeared in his hand. The two guards heard the sound and turned back, they slowly marched towards the wide corridor with heightened vigilance.

They both saw themselves from the corridor and when they reached the main wide corridor, only the body of the first guard laid there.

"Something's wrong, where's the man?" The second guard asked while turning back, they didn't bother about their dead partner because their lives were at stake. The red lights became a problem as it had reduced their vision, the entire place was dark with only blinking red lights.

"I can't get any reading but I..."

"But what?" The second guard shouted when the third guard stopped talking, he turned and saw his partner staring at a tall man surrounded by a black mist with silver torches for eyes, even with the dull lights, his presence was heavily announced as his silver eyes shone with such ominous intensity that the red lights couldn't even compare.

The second guard raised his gun and tightly pressed his trigger. Flames spilled out as golden bullets sped towards the empty corridor, wait empty!.

The second guard's eyes widened but it was already too late, a spinning dagger engulfed in silver flames swooshed towards him, the guard couldn't react to its speed as it arrived before him. Instantly, Derek appeared and elbowed the guard's jaws.

The impact from Derek's blow lifted the guard off his feet and he flew like a ragdoll.

The third guard regained his senses, he cocked his gun and fired, WHOOSH! Derek appeared, his precision was amazing as he appeared two inches under the flame spitting muzzle.

The sight of the guard's eyes slowly widening enlarged in his pupils as his lips curled up and he slashed upwards with the same momentum he threw his eastern dagger, the guard held his throat and gurgled as blood spilled out form a long slit which perfectly revealed itself, but that wasn't enough as Derek appeared at his back and slashed backwards while leaning forward, the sound of his blade slicing through flesh unhindered mildly rang and the guard knelt on the floor whilst his head rolled out and fell on the floor with disbelief clouding his eyes which had lost its light, a red fountain bursted out from his neck as the guard's body powerlessly slumped to the ground.

WHOOSH! Derek appeared at the elevator, as the door closed, he saw the second guard struggling to stand up. Derek's blow almost got him unconscious and his eyes were still blurry, though he survived Derek's first attack, his fate was sealed the moment he tried to stand up.

Derek's arm left an afterimage and his dagger immediately appeared before the guard and stabbed through him, blood slowly dripped from the other end of the blade and the guard fell, he was bewildered, who could throw such a fast dagger, he struggled to see his killer one last time but his eyes failed him as he fell into darkness.

The elevator door closed and it took Derek up, his palms glowed silver and his dagger appeared while he tightly wrapped his fingers around the hilt.

While in the elevator, Derek glanced at his boxers and felt the need for clothes, his thoughts were interrupted as the door opened and Derek reacted immediately and threw his dagger for he sensed danger and truly...

The elevator was devastated with bullet holes, six men stood with their guns aiming at the elevator, they could see Derek's spinning dagger and began to shoot at it, then one of them raised his head and saw another dagger which had already arrived.

"He's not there!!" He screamed but it was too late, Derek appeared and he slashed downwards, dividing a guard into two, he kicked another guard sending him to the wall as the guard created a spider web shaped crack on the white wall.

Derek grabbed an incoming gun as one of them tried to hit him with the back of his gun, Derek quickly turned towards him and head-butted the guard, too bad for the guard, he wasn't wearing a helm, blood spilled from his split flesh at his forehead, the blood covered his face as his thoughts became muddy.

Derek launched a back kick at the guard behind him, his feet collided with the guard's vest and he also smashed against the wall and fainted directly.

Derek focused on the guard who had a bloodied face, his pupils contracted and he leaped and launched a roundhouse kick, his feet collided with the soft flesh of the guard and his jaws dislocated with his head snapping with a loud sound and his body powerlessly fell straight to the white floor.

Derek's silver eyes turned to the remaining two who were trembling, the two of them were still new at their jobs and Derek's strength scared the shit out of them.

With the two daggers in both hands he slowly walked towards them, they fearfully dropped their guns and when Derek arrived, one slumped to the ground and began crying.

"Please.... I have a daughter.." he couldn't even finish as he heard Derek's deep cold voice.

"Shut your mouth"

He nodded while trying to close his trembling lips with his hands, Derek shook his head and walked towards the elevator, he was heading towards the third floor.

At the third floor 40 guards were waiting for Derek, the two floors had been confirmed negative, that meant the enemy would soon arrive at the third floor.

The third floor opened and this time, Derek wasn't careless, his daggers swiftly left his hands and swooshed towards the first four guards with insane speed, it lodged into one's throat, the other three shot at the unfortunate guard but Derek didn't appear there, he appeared at the location of the other dagger which was close to the ceiling, he noticed that the guards rarely looked up so he used it to his advantage.

He appeared mid air and immediately vanished again, the guards faced the ceiling and fired but they had been deceived as Derek had appeared at the position of the first dagger, he brushed the second guard to the ground and stabbed his thighs "arrrrgggghhhh!!" A gut wrenching scream reverberated in the spacious corridor and Derek threw his other dagger towards the other guard and it swooshed towards him and pierced through his vest like butter whilst it lodged deeply into his heart.

Derek saw the last guard point his gun at him, he stretched his other hand and directed the muzzle of the gun upwards and the bullets pierced the ceiling, Derek gripped the gun and pulled it and the guard staggered towards him, he slashed at the neck of the guard screaming on the ground and launched a kick at the last guard, the one on the ground died instantly.

While the other one slammed into the wall, not even two seconds passed and a dagger pierced through his throat, dying the wall red.

The alarms in the entire building began blaring and guards ran towards the elevator heading towards the underground floors.

"EMERGENCY!! ALL GUARDS IN THE BUILDING ARE TO HEAD UNDERGROUND, IMMEDIATELY!!"

The loud robotic voice stunned the people who were chatting at the ground floor. The auction for the special guns had concluded but most of them remained, this was a huge organization's building, they could get missions and also get to know big figures in the hunters rankings.

"What is going on!" Li Wei muttered with furrowed brows.

"I don't know but it's better we leave now" Li Mei said gravely, she had removed her jacket a while back and tied it around her waist which further emphasized her tiny waist, anything that could cause such commotion for a huge organization wasn't going to be good for hunters.

Jiayi nodded and closed the briefcase containing a black pistol with golden linings and a magazine with blue bullets, she got up and they walked towards the exit.

Suddenly the holo screens all over the floor turned on and the bloodied scene of the underground floor was revealed.

Everyone stared at the scene with different expressions, they saw a naked man, his insane teleporting speed and killing efficiency chilled their bones, suddenly Derek stopped.

He raised his head and looked up, through the screen, they couldn't see his face clearly because of the black mist, but his chilling silver eyes were clearly visible, they pulsed with the dreadful feeling of death.

Li Mei's eyes widened as she stared at the dangerous being who seemed to be directly staring at her. She remembered those daggers, they were the very same daggers she stole three months ago.

"We need to go, NOW!!" Li Mei yelled and ran towards the exit, both jiayi and Li Wei followed her.

Derek had completely slaughtered the forty guards as the elevator opened, he had arrived at the ground floor, it was Chaos as most of the hunters knew this was out of their league and ran but some were clouded by benefits and rushed towards Derek.

Derek walked out of the elevator and his right dagger vibrated, the western dragon roared mildly and Derek raised his head and stared at the Asian girl who was running towards the exit. His sharp vision caught the image of a black rose drawn on her shoulder.

An intense urge to slaughter came from the western dragon and it was solely directed at the Asian girl, Derek branded the image of the rose deep in his brain, a massive number of people were rushing towards him so he couldn't get to the Asian girl.

And his anger fueled his murderous aura which flooded the entire floor, Derek's silver eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light.

Some weaker people slowed down, they felt like they were stuck in a quagmire. Li Wei who had gotten outside froze, sweat soaked his body and his mind struggled but his body refused to budge.

When Li Mei saw it, she was terrified, how is this possible, only those people could do such a thing, how did she get herself into such a great disaster.

Jiayi acted fast and lifted Li Wei with one hand and ran to the vehicle.

Derek's lips curled up and he slowly marched towards the crowd of both teleporters and superhumans running towards him, his slow steps had a mysterious rhythm, his silver eyes glowed more brightly as he smirked at the crowd, the time had come, time for vengeance and those who stood in his way, will face his…
