Thinking about how bright his future is, Vogue felt life was perfect. And with two ladies he was teasing, life was more than perfect.
He decided to take his usual shortcut ho through an abandoned alleyway between two old buildings. His footsteps slowed when he saw two shadows blocking his way. Their faces were hidden as it was nightti. But humanity had evolved in such a way that people in this world could see properly during Ming ti as though it was day ti.
Vogue’s footsteps ca to a complete stop when he heard the sound of movent behind him. He glanced back over his shoulder and noticed that two more figures had just jumped down from the roofs of the buildings forming the alleyway walls, blocking off his path from the back.
Now he found himself stuck directly between four people who had clearly been waiting specifically for him. This was obviously an ambush.
"Yo! It’s the trash! I heard you stopped attending classes because of the you’re scared of the Osympic Trial and know that you’ll surely beco a Sunfiend so you ran. Is it true?" One of the four shadows laughed mockingly at Vogue, his voice dripping with disdain.
Vogue’s face scrunched up as though he had heard sothing stupid. "Do you hear yourself at all? I an, in novels, random characters are usually stupid and are ant for protagonists to step on, but can’t you guys think?"
Vogue face-pald and shook his head.
"Must you use the word ’trash’? There are literally more creative ways you can call soone trash. At least think with your brain before opening your mouth, you stupid." Vogue glared at the shadow and sighed in disappointnt.
Not to ntion the other shadows, the First shadow who had mocked Vogue froze in disbelief and embarrassnt.
Even with the four of them surrounding Vogue, Vogue didn’t even reveal a single hint of fear an instead scolded him.
Anger imdiately surged, replacing the embarrassnt as the shadow roared in rage. "You only know how to talk! If you applied your talking skills to your cultivation, you would have beco a Peak Evolver!"
What happened next stunned the four shadows.
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"
"That was really creative and impressive!" Vogue clapped his hands, with a proud and impressed smile.
The first shadow felt his anger lt like snow as he waved his hand shyly. "T-thank you. If you hadn’t corrected , I would have kept making the sa mistake. Plus, my brain cells fired extrely fast to co up with that."
Vogue nodded and gave him a thumbs-up. "Nah, with what I’ve seen, you might have figured it out yourself. You just need to work on you creativity is all."
The remaining three shadows stared back and forth at the first shadow and then Vogue, baffled with what was happening.
Then they glared at the first shadow in anger.
There were here to deal with soone and their coworker was actually bonding with the enemy?
The first shadow seems to have noticed their glare and he rubbed his nose embarrassingly and cleared his throat.
"Ahem. We—"
"You should stop talking now." The shadow beside him imdiately cut him off.
Then he stared at Vogue and pointed his sword at him.
"Let’s cut off his head quickly and get the hell out of here before the Enforcers are alerted by the sound of battle."
Hearing his words, Vogue’s eyes glinted. He thought they were here to beat the crap of him but apparently, they were here to kill him and cut off his head.
Vogue frowned in confusion. From the ti he arrived here and from the mories he recollected, he had no life or death grudge with anyone, so why would anyone want him dead?
"At least before I die, can you tell who sent you?" Vogue asked calmly.
The first shadow felt it was an appropriate request.
"Seeing as you’ve accepted your death, we will tell you—"
"Shut up Luke!"
The three other shadows shouted simultaneously, stopping the first shadow from talking.
"Just speak softly; there’s no need to shout at ." The first shadow muttered as his shoulder slumped in dejection.
The three shadows felt that half of their energy had been consud by the stupid first shadow.
"Kill him now!" The second shadow growled as he moved, making the others also move with their weapons raised.
Vogue casually scratched the back of his head while thinking about a completely different topic. He was calculating in his mind how long it would realistically take him to acquire the full ten thousand Pain Points he needed for his next major system upgrade.
Just as the four assassin shadows closed the distance and were one ter away from Vogue, his entire deanor suddenly changed completely.
His casual expression vanished and his gaze turned cold. Without hesitation, he imdiately activated his Black Sun technique at full power.
"Boom!"
A massive wave of steaming hot energy suddenly blasted outward from his body like a powerful steam engine exploding.
The shockwave rippled through the air visibly as his entire body turned a deep crimson red color. Thick veins the size of a baby’s finger bulged out and spread throughout his exposed neck, shoulders, and wrists, making him look like a demon from hell itself.
Instantly, his strength, speed, and physique tripled in the blink of an eye.
The four shadows that were moving as fast as a bullet instantly slowed down in Vogue’s vision.
Vogue took a single step forward and the solid concrete ground underneath his feet imdiately shattered into countless pieces.
"Bang!"
The air screeched as his speed battled friction, appearing before the second shadow that kept interjecting the first shadow.
Vogue ford a knife with his palm and stabbed directly through the shadows chest.
The shadows flesh gave way like wet paper and his ribs that was supposed to be rooted ring his hand were as soft as a broom stick as ur shattered to smithereens as his hands punched straight through, grabbing directly at the Shadow’s beating heart!
