Chapter 680: Merciless
Chapter 680: Merciless
—–
The thugs around Frank and company didn't waited a single second more, as they ordered their monsters to attack. Large Earth Golems, Poisonous Lizards, Ghostly Jellyfish, Carnivorous Rose Vines, and more monsters from all shapes and sizes ran together towards Frank.
"Zhulong, Onyx, do your thing." Said Frank, as he infused his Divine Energy into his two Monsters, who began to glow with auras of darkness and lightning.
FLAAAASH!
"GROAR!"
The small Onyx opened his jaws, as the divine energy gathered within his body moved towards his jaws, and in an instant, a beam of darkness came out of his mouth, blasting through the dozens of monster pets!
BOOOMMM…!
The dark beam began to easily pierce through any defenses they had, their defensive barriers were of no use, nor any other defensive ability or magic spell they could create.
The darkness consumed it all, like an endless void that devoured everything, all elements sunk into this darkness, and so did the monsters, whose souls and bodies were disintegrated, alongside all the trainers behind them as well…
In just ten seconds, over half the thugs were gone…
"E-Eh?"
The leader looked at the scene as his eyes popped out of their sockets. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He tried to clean his eyes with his hands, and shook his head several times thinking that what happened just now was some sort of illusion.
"W-Wha… What…?" the red-haired leader looked at the scene as he muttered some unintelligible words until something resembling a "what?" came out. Frank looked at the man expressionlessly, Zhulong had yet to even attack…
"What's wrong? Surprised?" asked Frank. "Sigh… This is why I thought it was pointless to go kill you all. But I guess you've stepped out of your boundaries already."
"W-Who the heck are you?!" asked the red-haired man, falling over the floor, the rest of the surviving thugs quickly began to fall over the floor paralyzed, while some that somehow were able to walk began to run away for their lives in front of Frank, a grave mistake!
As they ran, they suddenly hit an invisible barrier, and found out that there was a dark barrier covering the entire area in a dome-shaped domain!
"Onyx is pretty good at manipulating shadows, even more when he channels my powers. I call this Shadow Domain." Said Frank. "It is an easy spell that captures people inside a space… Your fate is already decided."
"No… P-Please, spare us!" cried the red-haired man.
"W-We are just working for money!"
"We really didn't meant to harm a child!"
"Y-Yeah! We are just victims here… We don't deserve this punishment…"
"Please, find mercy in your heart, good sir!"
Frank heard the thugs ask for mercy, but he didn't seemed to change his mind, his face was just as expressionless as before, as he looked at the thugs with a bored expression. He seemed to already be bored, if a battle wasn't truly a challenge, his attention span quickly moved away, so he was already wanting this to end already.
"Mercy? I don't have time to show mercy to anyone." He said. "I am tired of giving mercy to people that don't really deserve it… Repent in the afterlife."
"A-Ah?!"
"P-Please wait!"
"No!"
"Please!"
The gentle-hearted and nicely natured aristocrat that they thought Frank was ended being a merciless man that didn't even had any sort of empathy towards them! Well, who would even have empathy with people like them anyways?
"By reading your minds alone I can already tell you were going do things to Miriam…" he sighed. "You're not the victims of that boss of yours, you were going to do this willingly anyways. But now… I guess you're now my victims."
"T-This…!"
"Y-You fucking cunt!"
"DIE!!!"
The thugs were desperate, they realized they would never convince Frank, as they tried to kill him by sending him the monster pets towards him, several flying monsters flew towards him while opening their jaws and unleashing long-ranged and explosive attacks!
"Zhulong."
"Groar!"
The serpentine Asian dragon Zhulong quickly began to work, as he moved incredibly quickly upwards, and unleashed his aura of lightning!
TRUUMMM…!
The lightning suddenly shaped as countless draconic jaws, devouring all the monsters and their attacks in an instant, crushing them until nothing remained!
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
And Zhulong wasn't done yet, he quickly moved in midair, giving a nice twist around the sky and then directed his fury towards the last foes. His eyes shone with bright yellow-gold lightning, which gathered itself within his aura and then, the aura expanded into the ground, covering everything with lightning!
This was one of Zhulong's weakest attacks, which he conjured so they wouldn't make that much damage around the environment, Lightning Field!
SPAAARK!
The lightning surged from the ground, frying alive every single living being he deemed as an enemy! All the thugs, including their leader, and all the monsters were fried alive!
"Grryyyyaaaaahhhh…!"
"Uuuuaaaggggh…!"
"Heeeelp! Heeeeeeeel! Uuuugggrryyyaaahhh…!"
They screamed agonizingly only for a few seconds until their entire bodies began to break apart into pieces and turned into charred ashes that left a disgusting cloud of black smoke behind, their clothes, bodies, everything except their souls was turned to ashes!
Peace once more took over the calm night, as Frank nodded.
"I guess that's it." said Frank. Miriam looked at the scene with eyes wide open, she had just seen many people die on the spot… Yet somehow, she didn't felt as impacted over such a tragedy, but more over the strength of Frank…
She began to wonder, who was this man? And why did he hide such level of power within his monsters? The little monsters she always played around with in the shop, they were all terrifyingly strong!
Zhulong and Onyx flew towards Frank's side, as they remained floating at his left and right side.
"Good boys, you did a good job." He said, as he began to pet the two dragons while smiling carefreely.
"I guess that's it, huh?" said Gwendolyn. "That was way too easy, are these guys really the ones that took over the city?"
