Pablo and Draxus finally ca out of the underground, back at the sa alley.
They left no hole in the ground as it closed on its own.
Draxus remained silent and Pablo asked Cupid, 'How much ti is left for this skill?'
The Special Skill Freak of Nature only works for one hour.
"Forty minutes." Cupid answered.
'That's a lot of ti. I would hate it if it went to waste.'
"So what now?" Cupid asked.
Pablo said nothing to her and looked at Draxus.
"Let's get one more."
Draxus hesitated. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. I want to make full use of the state I am in right now."
Pablo had made up his mind.
Draxus sighed. "As you say."
Bringing his shadow under Pablo's feet, Draxus motioned for Pablo to get inside.
But Pablo refused.
"I don't need it right now."
Then without any help from the shadow, Pablo went under the ground again.
He took Draxus with him as well.
Draxus didn't complain about Pablo not using his shadow and would just follow what Pablo orders.
Pablo waved his hands and the ground beneath them started moving.
They were standing at one spot but the spot they were standing on was moving.
"Are we going towards those soldiers again?" Draxus asked.
"Of course."
"This ti you will finally catch Kony, right?"
"I'll see."
They both kept coming closer and closer to the camp and they soon saw the Abyssal Butchers again.
They were still a little far to reach the military camp and Pablo increased the speed of the ground.
Very soon, they reached just beneath the ground Fozier's soldiers were walking on and Pablo road his eyes.
He could easily see from inside the ground and he found his target.
He reached just beneath that soldier and snapped his fingers.
The next second, the path the soldier was walking on beca moist.
Little amount of water gathered under his feet and when the soldier took one more step..
THUM!
He slipped and fell down.
The other soldiers laughed and Fozier paid no attention to them.
The fallen soldier cursed the laughing ones and stood up.
The others never stopped walking and by the ti the fallen soldier got up, he was at the back of all the soldiers.
And that was what Pablo wanted.
He and Draxus both reached beneath the soldier.
Pablo waved his hands and so roots circled around the man's feet.
No one noticed them, not even the man and with perfect timing, Pablo tightened the roots around the man's legs and dragged him under the ground.
The man vanished without a trace.
Pablo this ti didn't even have to cover the man's mouth as he just dragged the man deeper in the underground.
Even if the soldier shouted, no one would be able to hear him.
Pablo summoned more roots and they circled around the entire body of the man. The man couldn't even move one finger now. He was trapped.
"What? What is this? Who dares?!" He shouted.
He could see around himself so he also saw Pablo and Draxus.
"Who are you?" He asked.
Pablo didn't wasted ti and answered :
"Pablo Castillo."
The man shivered.
"So it's really you. Marshal is right. Why are you killing us? Isn't killing Dilinger enough?" The soldier shouted.
"What is your na?" This ti Draxus asked a question. Mostly because he wanted to know the identity of the captive as this ti as well, Pablo didn't capture Kony.
"I am Jeffery."
The Abyssal Butcher answered. He was a tall man and Draxus recalled Pablo telling about his description.
After that, Draxus didn't ask anything and let Pablo handle the matter.
Pablo first placed his hand on Jeffrey's head.
'Use it.'
He commanded and Misis Malefica did its work.
Pablo saw all the mories of Jeffrey including the one which had Freya and after five seconds, the notification arrived.
[ Ego Successfully Copied! ]
[ A large amount of life force taken from the target! ]
'Show .' Pablo would see the Ego right away. He had seen it in the mories but a clear description would make it easy.
[ Height Of Strength (Dark Red) : You can now increase your size as much as you want. You can even reach the galaxy if you want. ]
[ Note : You can only increase your size if there is nothing above your head. For example, if you are standing outside your house then you can increase your size but if you are inside your house, you can't increase your size as there is a roof above your head. ]
Pablo read the description and he was glad he brought Jeffrey under the ground. Now he won't be able to beco big.
"Do you know who I am?" Pablo asked.
Jeffery spat. "You are a Marshal. You can't kill your comrades. You will pay!"
Pablo shook his head. "Do you rember Desper slum?"
"What of it?"
"You and your other four friends raped a girl and made her brother watch it. Rember?" Pablo said the main thing and Jeffery squinted his eyes.
Then eventually, his brows shot up.
"It's you! You are alive? We should have killed you for good!"
'Actually, the original brother did died that day. I ca after that.'
"Yes. You should have killed . But don't cry over spilled milk now."
"You may kill but you won't be able to kill the other three. Whitey won't even die. You will get caught, bastard!" Jeffrey shouted.
"You are the third one. I have already dealt with two."
Jeffrey's eyes widened. "Who?"
"Whitey." Pablo revealed. "After him, I ca to you."
"Impossible! He can't die!"
"He isn't dead."
"Then where is he?" Jeffrey demanded.
Pablo answered. "Just a few inches above Hell."
"You will die. Ted will kill you! He will kill you!" Jeffrey repeated the sa phrase over and over again.
Pablo sat on one knee and looked in Jeffrey's eyes.
"After what you five did to that girl all I have ever dread of is your corpses. Even if you tell that Ted will kill , it doesn't scare . You should know, when I set out to kill soone, they die just by thinking that I am coming after them."
Pablo stood up and Jeffrey kept his eyes on Pablo.
Draxus remained silent and he wanted to see what death Jeffrey would receive.
"I have talked enough. Feel the pain and repent your sins."
Pablo snapped his fingers and this ti, no roots, no stems, no trees ca.
Instead of all that, black wriggling worms ca out from the ground.
Jeffrey flinched. He tried to move but the roots were still around his body making him useless.
"No. No. No!"
He shouted.
"I hate bugs. I hate insects. Kill . Kill ! I don't like bugs!"
Jeffrey begged for death.
Pablo smiled. "That's why I chose bugs in the first place."
Pablo had seen in his mories. Jeffrey abhorred insects.
He tried to crawl away but there was no further space in the ground. He was trapped.
Soon, the worms reached him and climbed onto his body.
The roots covering Jeffrey gave way to the worms and all of them rested on his body.
Pablo then increased the quantity of the worms and soon, Jeffrey was covered in black.
Every inch of his body was hidden by the black bugs.
They went inside his mouth, they went inside his body. They were eating him. They would create a husk out of his body.
Pablo watched the man getting eaten and Draxus could only imagine the slow death and pain Jeffrey must be feeling.
"We are done here. Let's go." Pablo turned around.
"What about his body?" Draxus asked.
"He will stay here. He will rot. And no one will find his body as well. So no investigation for Fozier."
Draxus nodded and Pablo started moving the ground beneath his feet.
This ti, they were moving faster.
"Why the hurry, czar?"
"Fozier and his soldiers must be close to the camp now. We have to get there before them."
"Right. If we are not there he might suspect sothing."
Draxus understood and in just a few seconds, Pablo reached under ground 8, the ground assigned to Pablo and his soldiers.
Then, with no ti to waste, they both ca out of the ground.
"If the First Marshal cos here, how will you explain the absence of your soldiers? Only us two are here. And what will you tell him about your appearance? You literally have green hair right now."
'Stop this Skill. I don't need it anymore.'
[ Are you sure? You can only use this Skill once per year. You still have ten minutes left. If you stop it now, you will only be able to use it after one year again. ]
'Just do what I say. End this mode of mine.'
[ Okay. ]
The system agreed and after a few seconds, Pablo returned to his normal appearance.
Draxus watched the sudden change with surprised eyes.
"What was that, czar? How can you do all this?"
"Secret. Now pretend to jog around the ground. It should look like we are warming up."
Pablo started jogging.
Draxus followed him. He wanted to know more about Pablo's skill but he figured a ti would co for that.
They jogged for a few seconds until…
THRULL!
A loud sound rang in the ground and both n looked at the source.
The gate of the ground 8 was swung open and as they both suspected, they had visitors.
Fozier and his soldiers ca to et Pablo.
