Chapter 7: Jack Vs. Rael
{In the Heroes Association - Charity}
*Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh*
Sirens resounded in the huge 100-floor building.
''CODE RED! CODE RED!'' A static voice yelled from the radio which was located on every single floor.
The workers ran inside the building like headless chickens.
They know the seriousness of the situation.
This was the first Code Red alert in the history of Kindland.
There have only been 3 Code Red alerts in the history of Kindness Continent.
And every time the code red appeared... Casualties always were over 1 million.
On the top floor...
In the biggest office of the building.
A huge table was in the middle of it which can fit at least 50 people.
And currently, those chairs were all occupied.
In the head seat, an old man with grey hair and a grey beard was sitting. He has wrinkles over his face, but his body was far from ordinary. His body was perfectly muscular with 0% fat.
All the people present looked towards him with respect.
Because the old man is called Kenturion. He is the only 10-Star Hero in the Kindland, but he is also far from his prime, and during his prime, he reached the mysterious Super-Star Hero Realm, but he was only a few years Super-Star Hero until his body started weakening and he fell down back to the 10-Star.
He is also Charity's Heroes Association's Chairman.
''What is the situation?'' Kenturion asked with a grim face.
A man next to him stood up while holding paper. ''Casualties are unknown, but the Western Area of Charity is in ruins, so we can assume that Casualties are close to 100 thousand.'' The man stopped for a few moments to let others deal with this information.
Kenturion's face turned even grimmer.
Also, many people in the office clenched their fists.
They all have one thing in common.
Their hate towards villains.
The man finally continued. ''Also the police station located in the Western area is completely destroyed, no one survived.''
''Damn it!'' Kenturion roared which made many of them flinch.
''Also... The 4 heroes, Red Fury, Blond Saintess, Muscle Pain, and the prodigy Dark Savior... are all dead.'' The man gritted his teeth and continued. ''Also we lost contact with the 6-Star Hero Deadly Aim, so we can assume that he died as well...'' He stopped talking and sat down on his chair.
All the people in the office were quiet...
Losing 5 heroes in the span of 1 hour... Is one of the biggest losses in the entire continent of Kindness.
''Who is the Villain..?'' Kenturion asked.
''It is Jack Wrathelm, this morning he killed his pregnant wife, after that he killed everybody in his neighborhood...''
Kenturion clenched his fist. ''Scum! What is his ranking?!''
''We gave him a 3-Moon Villain ranking, but we greatly underestimated his strength...'' One of them said and gave a report paper for Kenturion which shows Jack's information.
Kenturion raised an eyebrow. ''Anger Sense, E-Rank?''
The man who gave him the paper nodded and said. ''We have reasons to believe that he underwent Ultimate Awakening.''
Kenturion rubbed his forehead. ''What is his assumed ranking now?''
''8-Moon.''
''Is there any 9-Star Heroes around?'' Kenturion asked.
''We have one!''
''Call him, tell him to go eliminate the threat,'' Kenturio said and ended the meeting.
The man took his phone and dialed a certain number.
...
Jack sat down on his burnt house while hugging the cold arm.
His eyes were still black and red, without any sign of humanity left in them.
*Chuff*
He turned his mad-looking eyes towards the sky and saw a helicopter flying above him.
The side of the helicopter had words [Charity News Station]
Jack growled angrily. ''Laurence!!!!''
The helicopter filmed Jack's figure and it was shown everywhere in Kindland.
Citizens looked with horror-filled gazes towards the black-haired man, who seems ordinary but after they saw his black and red eyes.
Only one thought was in their minds. 'Monster.'
Laurence was looking at the TV with his wife and son.
His face went pale while looking at the screen.
''Laurence!!!!!'' Roar echoed on the screen.
Laurence's wife looked at him with concern. ''I-I-Is he yelling your name?''
Laurence gulped. ''I think we should leave the city.''
''Why?! The Heroes can handle him.'' His wife said anxiously.
Laurence took deep breaths. ''Yeah... You are right... I am sorry...'' He turned his head towards his wife and kissed her forehead.
He turned his head towards the screen and clenched his fists. 'Die already!'
Jack's eyes turned murderous while looking at the helicopter.
*Chuff*
But then another helicopter's sound was heard.
He turned his black and red eyes and saw a Military helicopter approaching his position.
The Female News Anchor talked towards the audience. ''Heroes Association finally sent reinforcements! The brutal Villain will finally be subdued!''
The citizens cheered while looking at the screen.
People in the Heroes Association looked at the screen without expression.
The helicopter finally landed a hundred meters away from him.
The helicopter's door was opened and a man stepped out.
With calm steps, he started walking towards Jack.
He had a white and grey outfit with a white cape. His muscular body was clearly visible underneath the costume. In his chest, the letter R was shown, the same letter was also shown in the cape. He had medium-length black hair with a sharp jawline and piercing grey eyes. His handsome looks were mesmerizing to look at and his masculinity was every women's wet dream.
He is one of the 5 remaining 9-Star Heroes in the entire Kindland. His name is Rael.
''It is Rael! The Hero of the Light!'' The News Anchor cried out with surprise with thrilled expression.
The citizens cheered even louder while the women and some of the younger girls blushed heavily while seeing his masculine figure.
Rael was standing only 10 meters away from Jack.
''Surrender and you won't get hurt,'' Rael said simply while overwhelming pride surrounded him.
Jack didn't change his expression, instead, he started walking towards the refrigerator and put Sophia's arm inside.
He used his red energy which covered the refrigerator, now there was a small forcefield around it.
Jack tenderly touched the refrigerator, it is the only thing left in their home. 'Sophia... I won't let anyone touch you... I promise...'
''Villain! Surrender now!'' Rael screeched angrily, he has never been ignored which made him humiliated and angry.
Jack looked at him
[Anger Meter: Rael - 15% - How dare you to ignore me?!]
Jack felt himself growing stronger after Rael got angry.
But he ignored it because he was also getting even angrier.
'He dares to scream in front of Sophia... I will kill him!' Jack thought with bloodshot eyes.
''SURRENDER N...'' Rael was again screaming, but then red energy hit him straight at his chest which sent him flying backward a few hundred meters.
*BOOM*
Jack lowered his hand which was now coated in red energy.
He twitched his eyes because he felt anger rising from Rael.
[Anger Meter: Rael - 33% - I WILL KILL HIM!]
''RAAAAAH!'' Loud scream was heard from Rael's direction.
Rael's whole body was covered in some kind of white light, he concentrated his light energy towards his legs.
Suddenly Rael started floating with help of the Light energy.
He looked at the distance and saw Jack's figure.
Rael gritted his teeth out of anger.
''DIE!'' Rael screamed and started rushing towards Jack's figure.
Rael reached Jack's figure.
[Light Sin!]
He pointed his hand towards Jack's face.
*BOOM*
Jack felt the light energy hit him straight at his face, but it didn't do anything.
''?'' He looked with confusion.
But then Rael grinned. ''This is one of my abilities, Light Sin; The more sin you have caused, the more damage you will receive from my attacks!''
Rael then punched Jack's face.
Jack didn't move instead he let the punch hit his face.
*SMACK*
Jack was sent flying dozens of meters and fell down on the ground heavily.
''Since you have killed thousands, this strike must have killed you!'' Rael laughed.
But Jack lied down on the ground without any pain.
''Hmm? Did he die already?'' Rael thought because he was expecting a lot of screaming.
But then Jack stood up from his position without any injures in his body.
''HOW?!'' Rael screamed, with shock-filled eyes.
Jack didn't change his expression.
''YOU HAVE KILLED THOUSANDS, HOW IS IT NOT WORKING?!''
Jack looked towards him without changing an expression.
Rael finally started retreating slightly.
Jack snorted and started running sloppily towards Rael.
''Damn it!'' Rael roared and put his hands forward.
[Light Purification!]
The Light perfectly hit Jack's body, but he was still unharmed.
Jack reached Rael's figure and punched towards his face.
Rael was shocked seeing his attack not working, but he easily dodged Jack's punch.
Jack turned his head towards him and punched again.
Rael easily dodged Jack's sloppy punches.
''Are you making fun of me?!'' Rael screeched, he grabbed Jack's arm and used his light energy to purge the evil.
[Light Purge!]
The Light surrounded Jack's body, but the light couldn't pierce his body.
''COME ON!'' Rael screamed.
Jack turned his black and red eyes towards Rael, he grabbed his arm.
[Rage Pain]
''GGRRRRRRRR!'' Rael grimaced, he looked at his arm and saw his flesh melting away.
''NOOO!'' Rael's previous handsome face was distorted, he barely looked human at this point, because his face was melting away as well.
His whole body started melting away.
Jack didn't change his expression, he only looked at the scene and saw Rael dying in front of him.
Only the skeleton remained, but the skeleton turned into ashes soon as well.
