Chapter 142 Is This What You Call Ruthless? Really?
Witnessing the death of Bucktooth. Glasses and Baldy felt immense fear inside them. The sweet-looking woman in front of them turned out to be poison. No, not even poison. But a bloodthirsty blade.
At this time they only thought about how cruel Alice was. Never did they question their sins.
Not wanting to die without any resistance. Baldy used his power to retaliate against Alice. His hands turned into steel.
He dashed towards Alice to punch her. She saw it coming and parried or with her Scythe.
*Clang*
The sounds of metal clashing were heard. To Alice's surprise, Baldy's hands were still intact. Although the Silver Scythe is not as powerful as Death Scythe. It works on pure mana. With a single swing, she can easily chop big boulders.
Not to mention the strength behind her attacks. With a stat of 110, she shouldn't have any problem chopping even the hardest metals. (Of course, that's before the appearance of mana. After the appearance of Mana, many new types of strong metals are available. Those are way harder and stronger.)
Anyway seeing this guy not losing his arm impressed Alice. She wondered how strong could those hands be.
His ability was Steel Arms(D). For a thug like him, it was indeed very suitable. But too bad, he was not a professional boxer. His fighting skills were only limited to a street fight.
Before another punch could land Alice swung her Scythe with a little more strength and threw the Baldy a few meters away.
Glasses were ready to take action as soon as he saw Baldy launching his attack. He removed his glasses a laser shot from her eyes.
He thought maybe with his surprise attack where her focus was on Baldy he could do her severe damage.
'This is what you get for messing, you arrogant bit*h.'
"Now die."
Unfortunately, the lasers never reached Alice. She was long prepared for this attack. With extreme accuracy, she diverted the direction of those lasers with her scythe.
"What?"
Glasses was extremely confused. It was too unbelievable for him.
He shot lasers again but did time Alice not only parried him but also slashed her scythe cutting his eyes.
"Aaargh, YOU BIT*H!!"
"YOU RUINED MY EYES!!"
"Shut up or your throat will be next," Alice said casually.
But her casual threat worked. The Glasses immediately closed his mouth with his hands trying to not leak a squeak.
The pain was too much for him. Losing both his eyes terrified him. But he can only endure if he does anything he will die with his throat being cut off. Now that he lost his eyes he is crippled. He can't use his ability [Lazer Eye].
So there's no way he can fight against Alice now. Maybe if he can survive he might find a way to restore his eyes. But that's for later to think. It's only possible 'if' he survives here and the chances are very slim.
Baldy again attacked Alice. Now that only he was here who can fight? He can only hope that some reinforcements arrive soon.
Baldy kept on punching but all his punches were met with Alice's scythe. She was just standing there swinging her scythe. Like playing with a toy.
He was even unable to push her to take a single step. She was not even putting much effort when he was trying his best.
"How could this be?"
"I don't believe you can continue this way for long."
"I don't believe there's someone as strong as you."
"You must have some weakness."
Baldy didn't give up nor did he pull any punches. But not only it did not affect Alice in any way His hands were full of cuts.
It was obvious once he deactivate his ability his hands would be covered in blood from all those wounds he had received facing Alice's scythe.
'I shouldn't waste any more time.' Alice thought and shifted the direction of her swing. Baldy who was about to defend using his hands was dumbfounded. With the sudden diversion of attack, he wasn't able to protect his legs. Although with this sudden change the power behind her swing decreased drastically. But it was enough to take away one of his legs.
*AAAAHHH*
Blady, who was unable to balance himself because of suddenly missing one of his legs. Feel on his butt while screaming.
His legs were pretty weak compared to his hands.
"You B*tch. I'll kill you. You took one of my legs I'll take your life." Baldy started cursing. He was extremely angry.
"Okay, shut up," Alice said with a cold expression. She also released some pressure which made them fearful.
Baldy and Glasses stopped their cursing and gulped. As they waited for Alice to say something. The pressure was terrifying.
"Where are the hostages kept?" Alice asked.
"Are you here to save them?"
"Who are you to question me?" Alice said coldly.
They gulped and decided to tell her what she wants. Or else they might die in her hands. Their only hope was someone comes to their rescue or that this girl spares them.
Alice nodded her head. The location should not be far.
"Okay, you guys lead the way. Don't think about doing any tricks or you will die." Alice commanded in a threatening voice. Even her pupils turned red at this moment.
"We can't do that," Baldy said.
"What did you say?" Alice said coldly. Her tone expressed clearly that she won't take no for an answer.
"No No, please listen to me. It's not that we don't want to it." Fearing that Alice might finish them Blady said hurriedly. "I can't walk and he can see. How could we guide you?"
Glasses also nodded his head nervously. Not being able to see anything was very terrifying. The pain was still there which made it very difficult for him. He was trying to stop the bleeding from his hands but it didn't work.
Baldy was bleeding even more after losing his leg. Both of them were in a very pitiful state.
"Is that any of my problem? You support his walk and you tell him the direction. Never heard of teamwork or what." Alice's cold words stuck them hard.
So cruel.
This woman is heartless.
Even they were never this cruel to anyone.
They had yet to see how terrifying Alice actually is. They can be considered lucky in a sense.
As per Alice's wishes. Both of them lead Alice to the place hostages were kept. While they were walking blood continued to spill out from their wounds leaving marks on the floor.
Now their only hope was Cultural Hall where the hostages were kept. Maybe their allies in the cultural hall can defeat this crazy woman.
There are more than 10 people inside and 5 outside guarding the Hall.
When they saw those five hope started building inside their hearts. Maybe they can survive.
"Hey, brothers save us from this crazy woman." By the time Blady finished speaking his eyes were wide open in disbelief. He didn't know what to say or what to think.
Glasses by his side was very excited when he heard Baldy's words. He heard some swishing sounds for a moment. He can't see what was happening so he could only ask Baldy. "Brother, what happened are we safe? Is that woman dead? It's pretty quiet all of a sudden."
"...ied."
"Hm, what did you say, I couldn't hear you."
"They are dead."
"They died even before they could notice us," Baldy said solemnly.
As soon as they arrived here. Alice didn't sit still. She immediately used her powers to silence the ones guarding the door. Baldy who saw everything unfolding in front of him was even more terrified. He was certain they were no match for her.
Where did this monster come from?
Are they going to die today?
"What? How could that be?" Glasses was speechless, doesn't this mean there is no hope for them?
"It's true," Baldy said in a grim tone.
"Stop dawdling around. Lead the away." Alice said in an irritated manner.
They nodded their heads and put all their hopes on their allies inside the Hall.
Baldy saw Alice holding a book in her hand while entering the Hall.
'Is she going to fight with a book?'
'Is she that powerful? Don't tell me she is so bored so fighting with us that she doesn't even need weapons to take care of us. So now she will smash everyone's head with that book.' Baldy came to this conclusion.
"So ruthless."
Alice pushed the door wide open which startled the people inside. The ones who were there to guard the hostages were on alert and took their stances immediately while pointing at Alice.
"Who is she? Why did you bring her here?"
"SHE IS AN ENEMY. KILL HER." Glasses shouted with all his might.
Alice glanced at him with killing intent.
All the guards were glaring at Alice with terrifying looks.
Baldy and Glasses hoped that their comrades will take care of her.
But their wishes never came true.
