[Walter's POV]





Surrounded by 9 of these idiots, I sighed, as I couldn't help but be dejected by my luck.

"Why do I have to get stuck with the weakest of the bunch?" I spoke out loud as I looked around to find those idiots laughing out loud.

"Seems like he is underestimating me,"one of the girls spoke as she chuckled with a really ugly voice. Made me cringe so hard that I decided that I would kill her first.

"Youth is just like Eva," spoke an old guy who seemed a bit more mature than the others. He then turned to me and said,"How about we make a deal?"

A bit confused, I said,"a deal?"

He nodded as he spoke,"you can choose one of the people to fight here. If you win, we will let you take a break and then fight another. This way, all of us can enjoy having a good fight while you can have a ch-"

"What are you sick or something?" I spoke as I looked at him. My eyes traced those idiots as I spoke,

"All of you come at once. I don't want to waste time on a bunch of nobodies. If I can't even deal with this much, the others would just laugh at me."

That old man observed me with an ashen expression as he spoke,"your arrogance would be your downfall. To take on 9 A-Grades at once, despite being a mere A-Grade yourself… I never knew people could be this foolish. All of you, kill him."

He then turned around as if the results had already been declared but…

-AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

The girl who spoke out first and was laughing before started burning in a black fire as she cried and screamed in front of everyone. Everyone else looked at her with a terrified gaze as they saw one of their own burning in front of them.

The girl soon started burning more rapidly than her body started withering and turning into dust. The whole process took less than a minute, but everyone else, they couldn't even move a single muscle of theirs as they just kept looking at her burning.

And after it was done,

"1 down. 8 more to go," I spoke with an uninterested gaze as I ran my senses through the area around me.

They looked at me with horror in their eyes as they took a step back and gulped before one of them came at me at an extreme speed. His eyes, though scared, he just reached me and… passed through me.

His eyes widened as his entire body got covered in smoke. He tried breaking free, but the more he did, the more he got engulfed by the smoke. His body started freezing slowly and slowly, before it froze completely, making him fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, I just moved out of hiding and came in front of them, making them gulp as they looked at one of their men fallen on the ground. I then raised my finger and pointed at that frozen man.

"Stop!!" one of the girls almost shouted, but

-BOOM!

A fireball shot out of my fingers and hit the frozen man, breaking him into pieces.

"2 Down. 7 More to go," I spoke without showing any emotion to them.

That woman who just shouted, looked at me with a horrified look before her eyes burned with rage and she shouted,

"F*CKING DIE!!!"

I saw chains forming from all around her and reaching me before they captured me. It wasn't just her, but another man reached me as he touched my back. I don't know what he-

'Hmmm.. So that's what they are trying to do?' I thought as I just closed my eyes and chanted,

"[Everted Memoriea Lierate]"

And the poison that was trying to invade my body was transported to that woman at a distance, while the chains which held me before were now holding that man who tried to poison me.

I then clicked my fingers and muttered,"Accelerate."

My eyes witnessed the girl being poisoned as her face turned purple really fast as her body began puffing up from many parts before…

-BOOM!!!

She exploded into pieces. As for the other guy who tried poisoning me with the same poison, he was already decimated by the chains into many pieces. I just yawned a little as I spoke,

"4 Done. 5 More to go."

"What are you?!!" The same old man who was taking me lightly earlier was now looking at me with a terrified gaze as he fell on his butt and looked around.

"Looking for help? Don't sweat it. None of you are going to leave alive anyways," I spoke as I looked at the others. 1 of the remaining 5 started running away with deep fear in his eyes and I just sighed as I mumbled in a low voice,

"Poor choice… not like you had any."

That guy who was running away soon reached a certain distance before a huge, dragon-like face erupted from the ground. My eyes observed the dragon-like monster, with a long neck as it observed its prey. And before that man can do anything…

-Crunch!

That dragon ate him, and he went tumbling into its stomach, before vanishing back underground. One of the 4 remaining then took out a strange knife and… slit his throat, succumbing to his death in front of me.

"Sorry, Tisha," another one just looked at his partner and

-Swish!

Killed her by attacking directly in her heart and killing her before she could realize what had happened. His partner, the girl who was dying, had a shocked impression on her face, as she couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

"I don't want you to die a cruel fate, a death by another hand, much less. I am sorry for being selfish, but let me be the one who killed you. Please forgive me," he spoke to the dead girl as he then turned at me with a deep rage.

His eyes turned red as he looked at me. His power slowly rose as he absorbed the power of the girl whom he just killed.

"6 done. 3 left," I spoke as I observed him turning into a huge monster, probably 5 times bigger than he was before. I saw him coming at me.

With my hands pointed towards him, I muttered again,"Air blades of the Niflheim," as about 2 dozen air blades surrounded him and started revolving around him as they began slashing at him from all the sides.

In rage he ran towards me, his eyes carefully looking at me, while being cut by the air blades continuously. Looking at his healing ability, it seemed like my air blades were lacking a little, so,

"Tempest."

I muttered in a low voice.

And the blades… grew in size, slashing his entire being into pieces. As he fell down just a step away from me. With a face filled with rage, and his body slashed into thousands of pieces.

"That is enough," said the old… no.. now he was a young man. He had already absorbed the other person whom I hadn't killed yet. Looking at him, well… his powers grew too, I guess.

"This is how far you will go," he said with a really deep look as he threw the body of the last one.

'Looks like it will be a bit more interesting,' I thought as I looked at that man, his energy reaching a bit closer to mine.

"8 down. 1 to go," I spoke as I prepared to fight with that man.
