''Won't you come out before I kill them all?"
Suddenly, Incursio asked.
The remaining men were shocked, they exchanged looks, but the only thing they saw in each other eyes was confusion. Only the leader seemed to have understood something; her face darkened; they were just some expendable pawns; still, there's nothing she could do now as it was already too late.
After a moment, nobody responded; this made Incursio chuckle.
Incursio turned her head in their direction. As she did, a menacing pressure engulfed the area.
The birds far away stopped chirping while the grass stopped swaying, and weaker monsters hid in terror. The entire forest resembled a hell, shrouded by a sinister force.
The surviving men shuddered in dread while their bodies sweated profusely. They felt their insides twisting in despair.
Some of the weaker ones even fell down on their knees. They were trembling violently, and their facial colors were incomparably pale.
"How does it feels to be expandable?"
None of them could say anything. The remaining men knew by now that that man sent them here, fully knowing they mostly could not do anything against this monster.
How could they have expected this outcome if not their employer?
Only four men remained. The others were wiped out of existence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe thugs didn't dare imagine they would suffer such heavy casualties in a simple mission such as this.
Yet the reality was in front of them. They initially thought they were the predator hunting a small animal, a rabbit; however, this thinking was proven to be wrong. Their roles have changed from predator to prey.
What they now were feeling was despair, fear, and regret.
"Don't get so cocky," The second in command gritted his teeth and said.
"The roles could still reverse."
He immediately attacked; he jumped into the air and launched a wind ball at Incursio. He was trying to buy time because he saw their leader secretly taking out a stone and crushing it. Reinforcement must be in the way; this was not the whole group; stronger members would eventually come, and maybe even their employer might arrive and reverse the situation, he hoped. He had no idea they were all dead because of a failed experiment.
Incursio smiled, and the dark vines once again sprung in action. Two vines whipped out to tackle the attack.
BANG!
The vines recoiled back while the wind ball was flung toward the men standing near the second in command.
The red-haired woman acted faster but couldn't save everyone; she kicked the man's chest, sending him flying while protecting her body. The second in command, whose name is Ronnie, also protected himself, and finally, the wind ball exploded on the poor man who was unable to dodge.
BOOM!
The man's body exploded into a bloody mist. He couldn't even scream before he was reduced into blood particles.
Ronnie cursed their fate; just as he was about to contact their leader, Anna, the lady with the red hair, his body turned rigid.
''Don't worry, I won't kill everyone, not yet.'' Incursio, who appeared before him with his senses on the full alert, mumbled.
''Wh-"
Before Ronnie could finish his sentence, his chest was pierced, and his heart was removed before it was crushed. His last thought was they were just expandables.
Thu!
A level 90 had just died like that.
Anna's face paled despite her calm exterior. She was the only one closer to level 100 here, but she was unsure if she could win; no, she knew she couldn't. This woman is more powerful than them; if not, she couldn't have wiped them out so easily as if they were some kind of grass.
''Why didn't you kill all of us immediately? I'm sure you could.'' Anna suddenly asked this question. The last man was so scared that he fainted, and he was scared beyond words; there was a foam coming from his mouth.
Incursio stayed silent for a moment. She knew what she really meant; why did she pretend and lure them here when she could have wiped them out at any moment. Was it because she was waiting for their employer to come out? Certainly not; from Anna's point of view, it was not that; there was another reason, and it was exactly what he wished to know.
''Well, it's because it is fun.'' Incursio declared with a smile.
''It is that so?" Anna was shocked, but beyond everything, she was furious.
It happened at that moment.
'Why don't you use that?'
A sudden voice echoed inside Anna's mind. Incursio didn't attack; she calmly waited.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnna was about to ask who it was when she remembered to have heard this voice somewhere; it was their employer's voice. Immediately she remembered the dark pill he gave her to keep just in case. Smart as she was, she connected the dot; everything was planned for this moment.
While being smart, she was also a decisive person; Anna took out the dark pill and swallowed it; she didn't want to die. She must survive and take revenge on them; her subordinates must be avenged.
''Finally!" Incursio mumbled when she saw Anna swallowing a dark pill. That fucker had done it again.
''!!!"
Anna clutched her chest right after swallowing the pill, her pupils dilated, and she vomited blood.
''Puh!"
''Ahhhhh!" Dark veins popped all over her body, wriggling like worms, her heartbeat accelerated, ringing like a drum, and dark mist came out from her body and covered it.
Crunch! Crunch!
A crunching sound came from inside the dark mist; the ground below the mist was drenched in blood.
Finally, the mist disappeared.
Boom!
And what appeared was a tall woman with dark hair and red eyes; Anna had transformed, she had a small horn, and even a tail could be spotted on her rear. Her skin had a slightly gray tone mixed in.
There was an ominous energy that could make one's stomach turn coming from her body.
Finally, Anna, who was transformed by the dark pill, stared at Incursio; she seemed petite before the almost two meters tall Anna.
"Shall we start?" Anna asked.
"Sure," Incursio nodded her head.
