Rise of the Crusader

195 First System

Time soon passed very quickly, and after putting all their effort in, Raphael and Aurora were able to create a system by the end of the month.

“Hahaha!” Raphael abruptly sat on the ground and then burst into laughter.

“Finally.”

Aurora muttered, and then wiped the sweat that was on her forehead.

Even though both of their bodies were covered in dirt, and they were sweating from all over their body, none of that mattered, and instead, they had eyes on the grand prize.

The little capsule that was on the table.

Raphael stood from the ground, he walked gently to the table, and then picked up the capsule.

“I wonder how much this would cost in the market.” Said Raphael as he stared at the blue and white capsule.

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to sell it,” Aurora replied.

.....

“They are definitely going to arrest us and have us create as many of this as possible. And it’s only a matter of time before we become lab rats.”

Aurora chuckled afterward.

She was about to stand up when Raphael stretched his hand at her. With a smile on her face, Aurora grabbed his hand, and then he pulled her up.

“What do we do about these ones?” Aurora asked as she turned towards the people on her left.

Raphael knitted his brows and then licked his lips sadistically.

In front of Raphael, and Aurora were three middle-aged and two women. The five of them and a terrified expressions on their faces as they saw the look on Raphael’s face.

After the assassination attempt on Aurora’s life was a failure a few days ago, Raphael and Aurora had apprehended the five of them had turned him into a lab rat.

Before the capsule was perfected, they had to make sure it wasn’t capable of causing any damage to the user, and also test its working rate.

And to achieve this perfection, a series of tests were taken by the three men and women before Raphael.

“Hehehehe!”

Suddenly, a giggle escaped the woman’s mouth.

The chains which were tied around her body caused her to be unable to move from where she was, but as showcased her teeth, while her body was in a ragged state, it was certain that the woman wasn’t mentally fit.

Aurora sneered, “You know, I assumed it was going to one of them that would turn out insane first.”

Aurora said, pointing her head at the three middle-aged men.

And while the three of them weren’t tied up in any way, they weren’t doing so much either way.

One of the men had saliva dripping out of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his upper and lower teeth were presented in front of him.

“Please… Spare me!”

Among the five of them, it was only the blonde woman who was still in her right mind. The reason was that the result needed was already achieved by her colleagues, so they were no longer needed for her.

“Fool!” Aurora blurted.

“You wouldn’t mind harming someone you have no idea who is, but when the tables are turned, you’re pleading for your life… And it is off now that you recall that you have children at home.” Said Aurora.

Aurora didn’t have disgust on her face, she glared at the woman kneeling before her, and as a sudden wave of emotion occurred, she moved.

“Ahh!”

Followed by the painful voice of the woman was blood splattering and a second after she stumbled to the ground.

As she went to the ground, she had her hand on her neck.

Raphael arched his brows as he watched the woman die. He paused, before then turning towards Aurora, “You should go freshen up.”

Even though Aurora was infuriated, she still nodded her head after Raphael spoke.

“I will clean up, and join you,” Raphael said as Aurora headed to the exit door.

Raphael stared at the three who had moved backward after the woman died for a brief moment, before then turning towards the gun that was on the table.

He grabbed the pistol soon after, and as he pointed the pistol at the middle-aged man, Raphael said, “In chinese it is zaijian.”

“French, au revoir.”

“Spanish, adios.”

“Japanese, Saynora.”

“And finally, in English, it is goodbye!”

With that said, and Raphael pulled the trigger.

Thud!

Raphael had only pulled the trigger once, but it caused the four in front of him to lay lifeless on the ground.

There was no sign of breathing coming from them, and it wasn’t even up to ten seconds after they collapsed to the ground, that they began to decay.

It was first the hand of the two middle-aged men, and as their skins left their bodies, leaving only just their skeletons, the others beside them also experienced change.

Raphael watched as one gunshot turned four being into skeletons, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

He stared at the black pistol in his eyes and then blew gently on the mouthpieces of the gun.

“The gun should really be called decay 2.0, sir, Raphael.” Said Roy.

Roy had also witnessed the gun’s ability, and even though he was there when the gun was being created, he was still astounded by the ability displayed by the gun.

“Alright then.”

Much to Roy’s surprise, Raphael agreed to use the name he chose,

Roy grinned and then stared at the pistol.

The decay 3.0 was like any pistol, but unlike the others, it was enhanced with the ability to induce decay on any substance, whether organic or inorganic.

Its ability went so far that so long as the bullet makes contact with its target, it was able to break it down into simpler forms of matter.

“I will see you all tomorrow.” Raphael placed the pistol in his back pocket and spoke.

With that said, he slowly walked towards the exit door.

The beauty of decay 2.0 for Raphael wasn’t just because it could induce decay, but that apart from him, no other person was able to use the gun without his permission.
