Blade knew that if he is to face both Latin and the City Lord simultaneously, common sense would lean toward the fact that the possibility of him leaving this city alive would be very, very, low...

With those facts continuously drumming in the back of his mind, Blade who still had trouble thinking properly, weakly crawled toward the trembling body of Latin as he climbed on top of Latin.

Raising his fist to the skies, Blade intended to send a full power punch toward Latin's face but before he could...

"No, you aren't allowed to do such actions...!"

A calm voice of a certain city lord entered Blade's ears. Right after, Blade's arm which was about to crush Latin's skull was firmly gripped by the hand of the young city lord!

The firm grip made it impossible for Blade to free his hand from the city lord's grip. His eyes bulged wide awake when this was processed by his brain. The power held by the city lord is something that completely surpassed Blade... and Blade was finally beginning to realize...!

His once previous fleeting consciousness was now fully regained as his thinking process cleared. With the current situation being understood, Blade's expression froze in alarm as cold sweat trickled down his back...

KA-BOOM...!

URGH!

With utter casualness being displayed, the city lord easily flung the body of Blade through the air as Blade crashed into a concrete wall. Blood escaped from his mouth and splattered on the ground as Blade lay on his belly as he showed no signs of getting to his feet.

Tsk!

"How long are you going to cry on the ground like a little kid...?!"

City Lord's deep voice resounded in the trio's surroundings while one can see the sight of the city lord placing his hand on Latin's shoulder and forcefully pulling him up to his feet.

Now standing weakly on his feet, Latin's embarrassed expression made it obvious how he currently felt. His eyes gazed toward Blade's location with clear killing intent as he figured that there was only one way to regain some form of honor...

Of course, it was the death of Blade. The human who caused this city to go almost extinct, and the one person who was responsible for murdering his baby girl. Blade, that monster who even harmed children, was the main reason behind his moment of embarrassment in front of his Lord.

"This brat's death would be slow and torturous...!"

Latin mumbled under his breath while slowly trotting toward the seemingly unconscious body of Blade!

The impact of the collision between the wall and himself was soo strong, on top of the blood loss with losing his right fist, Blade's consciousness gave out on him as he now was on the floor unconscious and harmless as he could do nothing whatsoever while Latin approached his body, ready to give him another week, or even longer time of continuous torture.

This time though, Blade would be under the constant surveillance of both the city lord and Latin, making it impossible for another unexpected situation to take place.

Well... at the very least, this was what Latin thought. The firm grip of the city lord once more was showcased once more as it stopped Latin in his tracks! Before the confused Latin could even register what was transpiring, he suddenly realized that he now stood many meters from his previous location!!

"W-What?!"

Both Latin and the city lord muttered in shock and alarm. Unlike Latin though, the city lord was left confused and alarmed by the dangerous feeling originating from Blade's location... or more precisely, originating from Blade's aura!

It was a golden aura that outlined Blade's whole body as one can see him slowly getting back up to his feet with his eyes still closed... as if he was still unconscious!

CRACK!

Twisting his body inhumanly and creepily, Blade's bones gave out a loud cracking sound that surprised both figures a dozen meters away. The city lord was left even more apprehensive as his vision caught sight of a golden marking in the shape of an infinity symbol in the middle of Blade's forehead...!

Yes, between the eyebrows of Blade, one can see a golden symbol that was oddly similar to that of an infinity symbol. What alarmed the city lord, and now even Latin more than the symbol though, was what they saw when Blade's eyelids shot open.

Unlike the previous crystal blue irises that surrounded his pupils, Blade's pupils, and irises were now a bright golden color as they contained a sort of emotionless and hollow outlook...

It was a pair of eyes that freaked even the city lord as without realizing it, cold sweat formed on his forehead. Thereafter, Blade's lips parted as a robotic and genderless voice exited his mouth.

"Three minutes. According to my calculations, I can possess my host for three minutes when being in Level 3. So much time is enough to deal with a pair of puny Meridian Opening humans..."

THRUM!

Revealing the fact that Blade was now possessed by the system, it then leisurely began walking toward the pair of figures who were the cause of it even needing to possess Blade.

"The Supreme Creator didn't want systems to continuously possess our hosts, so a penalty was advised. Because of you two, I would not be around for three months. How are you planning to ease the current anger I feel toward you puny creatures..."

RUMBLE!

A dangerous killing intent many times higher in density compared to that of Adrian enshrouded the surroundings as both the city lord and Latin were left in a stupor as the fear that gripped their hearts prevented the duo's bodies from being able to budge...!

BAM!!

Blade's body turned into a blur as Latin and the city lord were unable to react as Blade appeared in front of them. Blade's left fist then sent Latin hurling backward as soon after, the city lord was also sent shooting through the air.

"You lower lifeforms who are soo disgustingly weak, yet soo disgustingly wicked are filled with ignorance. You fight, kill, rape, torture, and belittle your race members, while outside, in the dregs of the unknown, there are entities capable of wiping your world with a mere thought.

Ignorance surely is bliss.

The time you spend harming each other could be used to find ways of becoming stronger so you could somehow survive in this universe. Yet, here you people are causing harm to my host who is an elite member of your race..."

Possessed Blade uttered while walking toward the city lord.

The impact from possessed Blade's fist was soo much that Latin had a whole on his chest, as his fate was sealed and only inevitable death awaited. Possessed Blade didn't bother with Latin because of the state he was in.

Its full attention was honed in on the city lord who survived its punch as it spoke once more.

"Blade is a mysterious lifeform with a currently unknown past.

As of now, he is fully human, yet you people are trying all sorts of actions so you could cause him to lose his humanity. What you don't seem to understand is that there is something scary that I constantly keep at bay inside him. The more you push him to the edge, the stronger this 'thing' tries to break free.

I am unable to grasp what this 'thing' is, but what I do know is the fact that if it ever escapes, this 'thing' would not be anything good for you, nor for me...And here are people like yourself, who constantly try to bring this thing out of him."

Possessed Blade stated. His expressionless face morphed into a frown when thinking back to that 'thing'.

Thereafter, the frown deepened when gazing toward the city lord as he thought of him, along with Latin as the causes for the 'thing' constantly threatening to break free from his constant suppression...

"Your death, would not be painless...!" While grabbing the city lord's neck and then walking toward the residence of said city lord, possessed Blade muttered under his breath. His eyes flashed with utter coldness as he knew the only people the city lord cared for, were located inside the mansion...!

.

.

.

THUD!

Blade dropped to his knees with barely opened eyes. His expression showcased how tired and exhausted he was as he gazed at his right hand and the missing part of it from the wrist go down.

Re-awakening from his unconscious state, Blade was left flabbergasted by the fact that surrounding him were the bodies of the city lord, Latin's wife Layla, and also an aged man in armor along with another woman and child.

He didn't have the time to bother about the identities of the woman or child since his one companion filled him out on what had transpired when he was unconscious.

{Hmm, I can be with you for only three more seconds... Well, I wish you a safe next three months...}

The system's gender-less voice resounded in Blade's mind causing his expression to freeze. With the disappearance of the system, Blade's body reached its physical limit as he limply dropped to the floor without consciousness...Yet, even under such a strain, there was still a smile plastered on Blade's face.

It was unknown whether it was because he now finished his revenge, or something entirely different...
