《Rise of The Tyrant》9. Surrender After the Massacre
Advertisement
The woman's expression became even worse at his threat.
The adventurers, on the other hand, started screaming.
"Captain, don't back down, let's catch this brat."
"Many of us have already died, why should we worry. The important thing is that we didn't lose to a brat."
"He should be taught a lesson so he knows that other people can harm him too."
Ciel's attitude had clearly made them start to not take it anymore.
He was the one bothering them, but now it seemed their captain was at fault. Anyone with self-respect would not be able to accept that.
“Your teleportation must have a limit, right?” The woman asked again.
“Oh…” Ciel showed a strange smile. "Actually that's also something I'd like to know. Maybe you can help me find out.
"Of course, you have to be prepared to take the risk."
“I wonder, are you only Level 3 or 13?”
"Three," Ciel replied.
But when he said that, he had already appeared behind the woman with his Great Sword.
"You think you have the qualifications to continue talking to me," he said as he slashed the sword at her head.
He added, "I want your entire guild to be my subordinate, do everything I tell you or die..."
"You're slow," the woman said suddenly.
She moved beside Ciel then went behind his body. It only took an instant, Ciel was barely able to react due to her speed.
“Your teleportation abilities are amazing, but you're still three Levels below me,” she said again before slashing her two swords at Ciel.
Ciel naturally instantly teleported up to twenty meters away from her.
Right after he appeared, the woman lunged at him again with a speed that even his eyes had trouble seeing.

Her body was enveloped in the wind, causing her to appear to be one with the air.
Hastily, Ciel teleported again, this time he appeared very far from her.
He had expected this.
Even with hie teleportation ability, the difference of three levels was still quite difficult, moreover this woman seemed to specialize in speed so she could dodge before his attacks reached her body.
"Woman, I take your counterattack as a question of war with me, alright, now accept the consequences," Ciel said in a loud voice.
“All of you, run at your fastest speed in different directions,” the woman shouted in response.
Her guild members nodded, they started running in different directions.
Some who were strong enough even jumped the lava river through rock to rock.
"The death of a few people for the sake of the guild's survival is acceptable, but your mistake is to think I can't slaughter all of your members."
Ciel clenched his fists.
After that, the river of lava suddenly churned, shocking everyone who was jumping on it.
Before they could think of what was going on, the lava in the river surged upwards, rapidly sinking them like a tsunami wave.
Those who happened to be on the rocks could jump to dodge, but those in the air could do nothing.
"Ahhhh...."
Immediately a miserable scream rang out.
Ciel then appeared beside each of them who were screaming and cut their bodies with his sword.
His red and transparent eyes didn't show any emotion.
The remaining survivors quickly fled, away from the river of lava as they realized Ciel could control it.
Ciel himself started to chase the people who had fled in another direction.
His teleportation was extremely fast and unrelenting.
Those on his level could survive, but those below his level could only accept their death.

5, 10, 15, 20...
Ciel counted every life he took.
The more he killed, the colder his blood felt.
He originally thought there was a process before he carried out the massacre of people who could be said to be innocent where the conflict occurred purely because of his senseless attitude.
But quite unexpectedly, it was the first kind of massacre he committed.
This did bother him a bit, but he preferred to stick to his actions so that next time things would be easier.
"No.... Stop that...."
The woman changed her attitude quickly while shock filled her expression.
She who was in a position like she wanted to chase Ciel dropped each of her swords while both her knees fell to the ground.
"I surrender, please don't kill again," she pleaded.
“Hmph, it turns out that you are still weak when you see the deaths of many m members. To think you dared to challenge me,” Ciel replied in a disdainful tone.
He appeared again in front of her while his sword was ready to slash at her.
"Tell me what made me able to stop after all this happened?" asked Ciel.
This woman understood himself well, she must have known that even if she gave her life, he would still not let go of her guild members because he was the type to exterminate the grass by the roots.
And there was no way he would accept her as his subordinate now because that would be tantamount to having a knife placed beside his neck.
In response to his question, the woman took something out of her trouser pocket.
It was a yellow paper with an extremely thick ancient aura.
Two words were written on it, "Slave Seal."
Ciel's eyes brightened when he saw that.
"I will be your puppet from now on as long as you promise not to kill them again.... Believe me, my ability will really help you," she said.
"Are you sure?" Ciel asked as he stretched out his hand to take the seal.
The woman was silent. Immediately Ciel's hand held the seal.
"Mmm?"
However, at the same time, the woman suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"I wonder if you can teleport when I hold your hand, or I will teleport too?"

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.
