"OLIVIA!" Claire shouted when she saw Olivia was sent flying away. Michael did not even linger around to see Olivia fall down. He started to drag the reaper away from the captain's cabin to the mainsail pole.
Boom!
Halfway to the mainsail pole, he threw the reaper as the reaper slamd against the pole. The pole swayed, creating a creaking noise. The reaper struggled to stand up. He knew he was going to die but he didn't want to go down without a fight. It took great strength to retrieve the silver dagger from his waist.
"Ssshhhhggggssss" the reaper growled. Without the tongue, no one could make a sense out of his growl. As he walked towards the reaper, Michael's sword materialized in his hand from the system storage. He only took out one sword because one was more than enough for what's on his mind.
The reaper barely stood straight holding the dagger at Michael.
"Stand down idiot"
"He's dead"
"What's his cultivation level?"
"Definitely not higher than brother Ghost"
The onlookers began to murmur among themselves. For so, it was quite entertaining and for so, the old man is getting what he deserves for trying to harm Cindy.
Michael did not focus on anything except hurting the reaper in front of him. When he was just a ter away from the old man, the old reaper slashed the dagger.
ting!
With a simple flick of his sword, Michael sent the dagger flying away from the old man's hand.
Pulch!
Michael didn't stop with one slash, he slashed his sword again. This ti, he aid at the old man's wrist. Michael's sword cut the old man's wrist like a hot knife through butter.
"Hrrrrgggggggg!"
As blood was gushing out of the place where his wrist was a mont ago, the old reaper scread in agony. Each pulse pumped out more blood out of the wound. While the reaper was squirming in pain, Michael slashed yet again, cutting his other wrist.
"HRRRGGGGGG!"
The old man's face beca paler and paler due to blood loss. After squirming for a few seconds, he fell down again to the ground. The blood ford a circle around him as he laid in his own pool of blood. Even so of those disciples who initially wanted the old man to die felt a little pity for him because the Sunrise sect taught their disciples kindness and compassion.
"Get up" Michael wasn't finished, he lifted the reaper by his blood-drenched collar.
Boom!
Michael slamd him yet another ti before he used the rope he got from the captain's cabin to tie him against the mainsail pole. Michael deliberately tied the rope with the rope that was used to hoist the flag.
"Brother stop!"
Just when Michael was about to hoist the reaper like a flag to make him die slowly, Cindy's shout reverberated the ship.
"Cindy, close your eyes!" Claire and Olivia ca running to Cindy. Olivia tried to close Cindy's eyes but the little girl swatted her hands away.
For the first ti since Michael started to torture the reaper, he took his gaze away from the reaper.
"Brother you can't do this to a fellow human being" Everyone was surprised to see Cindy talk with a serious face for the first ti since they knew her.
"Human being? He's not one" Michael pulled down the rope as the reaper's body moved higher.
"Neither are you brother if you keep doing this"
"Cindy" Claire's heart skipped a beat when the little girl talked back. She tried to shush her yet Cindy didn't back off.
"We should be kind, rciful, and caring" the words that ca out of her mouth didn't seem to belong to a little girl.
"Cindy go to your room, you're still too little"
"No"
"No"
Both Cindy and Michael said no at the sa ti.
"People like him always mistake kindness for weakness Cindy. Show him kindness and he will show you the dagger. And you're right" Michael paused for a second, looking at the reaper and Cindy,
"I'm not human when soone pisses off " Michael pulled down the rope with enough force that catapulted the reaper's body to the top of the mainsail pole.
"Diddle diddle"
The flag of the sunrise sect now had a bloody body hanging in front.
"We are so little"
"Br…br…" she stuttered in shock, seeing the bloody body. The rope tied around the reaper's body got tighter as his eyes started to bulge out. In addition to his eyes bulging out, the blood oozed down onto Michael, bathing him in blood. He looked like a demon in everyone's eyes for a second.
"Kill or be killed Cindy, you'll realize this when you grow up and learn how this world works," Michael said,
"Teacher, you're sick," Olivia said to herself. Perhaps, everyone on the ship had the sa thought appear in their minds.
******************************************
(Sowhere else in the Elon continent, a few hours ago)
The clouds were the kind of gray that would make any quarry rock proud as if they were so pleased to echo the ground. All the gray, all that swirling water in the sky, condensation was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Above these gray clouds was a desolate quarry. As far as one's eyes could see, there wasn't a single tree or any plant for that matter that could be found except for boulders and a group of angry reapers wearing nothing but black robes. Each of the reapers looked exactly like the reaper that attacked Michaels's ship.
The reapers were rushing from all directions towards a woman who was sitting on a pile of dead bodies. She was calmly watching the reapers while sharpening her swords by rubbing them together. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, revealing the drops of blood on her alluring face.
From her long coat to the fingerless glow to the boots she wore, everything was black as the darkest night. The pile of bodies she was sitting on contained at least thirty dead reapers. All of them were Core Strengthening stage level 6 cultivators. Yet none of them could stand a chance against her.
Even when there were twenty more reapers rushing towards her with their weapons raised, there wasn't the slightest fear in her eyes.
"Twinkle twinkle little star" she flicked her wrists as the blood on the swords splattered onto the ground, revealing the black blades of her swords.
Her voice was gentle, yet at the sa ti, it was filled with a murderous aura.
"How I wonder what you are" a thin layer of gold energy enveloped her body as she gracefully stood up to walk towards the live reapers.
"Up above the world so high"
As she was walking, a crimson red fire started to coil around her swords like snakes. Soon, the fire enveloped her whole body. The fire burnt so hot that even the pebbles on the ground turned into charcoal.
The reaper ca to a halt when they felt the air getting hotter and hotter. They had no idea how strong the woman before them was. The only thing they knew was that she cut thirty reapers in a couple of minutes like vegetables. They didn't even know who the hell was this woman, the reapers were minding their business as they were flying to kill Ghost. But all of a sudden, she appeared out of nowhere, ambushed them, and killed their colleagues except for one. She let one alive so he could bring backup.
"Like a diamond in the SKY!" the mont she said the last word of the rhy, she leaped so high into the sky. She then swirled her swords as the fire ford a circle above her head.
"DIE!"
She pointed the two swords at the reapers. The circle of fire transford into a chakra before soaring through the sky towards the reapers.
"Turtle shell!"
"Snow Prison!"
"Earth Shield!"
The reapers imdiately cast defensive shields around them. However, none of their shields were protected from the fire. It lted through their shield to reduce them into nothing but ashes.
"Pathetic weaklings" The woman snickered,
With a single spell, she took out half of the reapers. Those who survived were blasted by the shock wave.
"RUN!" after seeing how reality she killed the reapers, the rest of them lost the nerve to fight her.
"Hellfire circle" hovering above the reapers, she waved her hand. The very next mont, the crimson red fire turned ominous dark purple. The stream of purple fire shot out from both of her swords, forming a cage around the reapers who tried to run away.
The Grim Reapers who were feared by everyone were stuck in the cage of fire, waiting to be killed like insects. She slowly descended from the sky, the selling of the fire cage opened up to let her obediently.
Pulch!
Pulch!
Pulch!
Pulch!
She gracefully sliced and diced the reapers who were unfortunate to be closer to her. Each of her sword slashes cleaved a head clean off a shoulder.
After killing another four, she didn't even move. She just waved her sword, creating a crescent-shaped wind blade with her swords. More blood splashed across the ground, painting the gray ground red. The cage was her killing ring and the reapers were nothing but re cattle that were waiting to be butchered.
"Why…who…are you…lady?"
The last remaining reaper tried to crawl away from her. His half of the body was burnt by the purple fla. Before he died, he wanted to know who killed him and why. She kicked him in the gut before squatting down beside him,
"Tell your friends you guys picked up a wrong contract" the woman ran her sword through the reaper's neck. The reaper slightly sighed inside thinking that she might let him live.
"Don't bother, I'll tell them myself"? the reaper's heart skipped a beat but soon, his heart was penetrated by her sword, ending his life instantly.
She looked around the dead reapers for a few seconds.
"I need to find the one who put the contract on my son and end this"
She tossed the swords into the air before turning back to leave. As she was walking away, the swords fell straight into her sheath on her back.
Snap!
While walking away,she snapped her fingers as the purple fla cage exploded creating a small mushroom cloud. She walked away from the explosion like in the movies.
The reapers never thought they would be massacred by a woman. They had no idea that it was Harriet Hunt who hunted them down.
