Chapter 32: Weak? Please...
"Who are you at all?"
R heard this question and a pulsing vein appeared on his head, while his face darkened.
"..."
Greg saw as the Golem's half body was already melted away by his new ability and was satisfied, while looking at his gloves on his hands.
On them, there was a fingerless glove made out of black silk, while small black smoke rose up from the middle of it from time to time.
"Soul Collector creatures are really something else.", said Greg and walked next to Joe and Henry.
"Are you guys okay?"
As Henry was looking at Greg with a confused look, Joe nodded and said, "Yeah, thanks for the help. This is already the second time that you saved me. I don't even know how I should pay you back."
Greg just smiled and looked at the bald man before him.
"Well, first let's beat hi-."
"Haha... Hahaha...HAHA HAHAHA!!"
As Greg was talking, suddenly R started to laugh madly, while clenching his face.
The three looked at this with a strange look, but the next second, R stopped laughing and looked at Greg with a murderous look.
"I will cut you up into a hundred pieces.", hissed R and suddenly his tattoos on his body started to glow with a brown light.
Feeling the danger, all three of them jumped back and looked at the unfolding scene before them with shock.
As the light shone from his tattoos, R's body started to change and turn into a gigantic earth Golem with a size reaching almost a hundred meters.
After every part of his body changed, his aura now was so terrifying, that if someone with a weak mind saw this scene then that person would have peed himself on the spot.
"I will kill you!", said R's mutated form with a cracking sound and started to walk toward them.
*Tremble!*
*TREMBLE!*
With each step, the ground below him shook insanely, while his huge feet left meter deep footprints in the soil.
Henry looked at the gigantic Golem before him and started to talk calmly to Greg and Joe, "Young Master and Mister Greg. If you could, please lend me your powers."
As he said this, his black scythe in his hand started to vibrate a bit.
Greg looked confused, but in the next second, he understood what he should do.
Joe next to him pointed at Henry's scythe and fired a huge thunderbolt at it.
*BANG!*
Greg saw as the lightning hit the weapon with a big explosion, but instead of making it damaged, wide lightning sparks zigzagged around Henry's weapon.
"Greg use your smoke on it. You don't need to worry, nothing will happen.", said Joe hurriedly.
Greg nodded and raised his hand and fired black smoke onto the scythe.
In an instant, as the smoke touched it, Henry's weapon started to release black smoke, while Joe's flashes of lightning were around it.
"This should be enough, thank you.", said Henry and raised his scythe.
R was almost before them when he looked at the weapon in Henry's hand and smiled.
"You really think with that weak looking toy you will have the chance to kill me? Just accept your death!"
In an instant, as he said that, his huge figure jumped up into the air and with terrifying might, he started to fall toward the three below him.
Greg saw this and his eyes widened. He looked at Henry before him and saw that he was smiling and opened his mouth.
"Weak looking toy? Please..."
As he said this, he slashed toward R's falling figure.
*Swish*
Like a light breeze, the slash was so soft and quiet that Greg thought someone just waved an arm before him slightly.
However, in the next second, a massive explosion occurred, making Greg look up into the sky with a shocked expression.
*KA-BOOOOOM!*
R's falling Golem figure got slashed into pieces, while his human form was flying out to the side, while black smoke was around his hand.
"ARGH!!! W-what the hell i-, AAAARRGH!!"
As R was shouting, small black larvas were crawling up on his right arm, while they melted his skin and flesh away slowly.
Henry saw this and was a bit surprised too. He only wanted to destroy R's Golem appearance, because he knew that what changed wasn't his flesh, but only his outer look.
It was like someone put on a huge iron set, without showing any part of the body, while the body itself was deep inside.
This was the case with R too.
Those tattoos were seals, which stored a massive amount of earth in them and after releasing them, he could freely manipulate them to turn him into a huge Golem.
However, he didn't expect that Greg's black smoke would be this powerful to melt a Creator ranked person's skin and flesh this easily.
"A really scary power indeed."
Watching as R's arm continued to melt away, Henry looked at Greg and asked, "Can you stop the spreading?"
Greg looked at Henry and after thinking a bit he shook his head.
Henry nodded and walked next to R.
"AAARRRRGHH!!! W-what the f-, AARGH!!!"
R couldn't even finish a simple sentence, because of the intense pain he was feeling at the moment.
Seeing as the larvas were almost reached the shoulder, without any hesitation, Henry cut off R's arm off with a smooth slash.
"AAAAARRGH!!!! You motherf**ker!!"
Greg looked at the fallen arm on the ground and watched it as the larvas on it melted the whole arm away in mere seconds.
"Scary..."
Henry put away his scythe and taking out a small portion, he spilled a green looking liquid on the armless shoulder.
*PSSS*
"Argh!"
With a quiet burning sound, the liquid stopped the bleeding on the arm making R to calm down a bit.
Henry after spilling the content of the bottle took out a needle and pierced it into R's chest.
"With this, he wouldn't be able to use his ability for a while. Let's go back. As for your trial, we will talk about it later.", said Henry, and picking R up he started to walk toward the limousin, which parked far away from them in the distance.
Joe and Greg looked at each other and without any objection, they started to follow him from behind.
***
[Somewhere]
*BOOOOM!*
With a huge explosion, a small hill in the distance turned into nothingness.
"Those useless dogs! One can't kidnap a single person, while the other one can't eliminate a simple student! Useless!!"
*BOOOOM!*
With another explosion, another hill turned into dust just like that.
A man was walking here and there, while his face was scarily dark.
While cursing loudly and turning hills and trees into ash only with a flick of his hand, a figure approached him slowly from the shadows.
Feeling a strange presence behind him, the man turned around and looked at the approaching figure, while asking, "Who are you?"
As the figure came out from the shadow and the moonlight shone on his face, the man's eyes contracted.
"Y-you... Why does the Dia Family's head come here alone?!"
Joe's father hearing this just smiled and said calmly, "So it really was you. What a pity. You tried to kill my family members not once, but twice now and you ask why I'm here? Don't you think I should pay back your kindness?"
In an instant, huge explosions, shockwaves, and strange phenomenons appeared in the sky, turning everything in a hundred miles into nothing.
