Chapter 80: Carnage IV
Chapter 80: Carnage IV
Guardian Theresa.A Hero from the SUNBORN Beast Corporation as she was known for her kind acts of visiting the wealthy Skyglass Heights Orphanages for those who lost their parents early.
Even though her Interstellar Beast was a Holy Scorpion that allowed her the power of poison, she only did good and protected Ebonreach Metropolis from any overflows of Entropic Beasts from Rifts!
She was a woman who was widely known for her power and grace.
And yet at this moment her head flew as she was entirely decapitated!
She had been one among the multiple masked Beast Masters who were wantonly attacking the streets of the Hollow Stacks in search for Vagrant Beast Masters, and she had killed hundreds of Stackborn along the way!
When her head flew, the injured Stackborn running from this place almost cheered.
When her mask flew off, they were horrified.
Because of her identity.
She...was a Guardian!
And now, she was just killed within the Hollow Stacks!
Such a reality was utterly unbelievable as watching it happen in real-time felt as if they were watching the unfolding of something terrifying for the future.
But they had their own lines to attend to as many continued to turn away from this place, while very few had their phones or devices out and they were recording everything that they were watching.
Some Cybernetic Humans had sense, some had absolutely none.
And some were defiant to stay behind, for the absolute cinema of what was happening.
"THERESA!"
The Masked Beast Master with golden lightning crackling around him saw the decapitated head of the Guardian as he roared out with rage, his figure looking around for the invisible enemy that had done this!
But all he saw were the two shocked Vagrant Beast Masters in the distance.
"Show yourself! Filthy Stackborn, do you know what you have done?! A Guardian! You killed a Guardian!"
His voice was heavy as lightning exploded from him like a storm.
And yet.
Hidden in the veil of Kitsuul.
Damian felt the dripping blood that was coming off of his fingers as he only continued to feel the sense of rage.
The blood of a Guardian!
But who could be called a Guardian if they wantonly entered the streets of the Hollow Stacks and were killing off people left and right?
No.
They were Butchers.
Just like Vex Talon!
So.
Even as tendrils of golden lightning erupted like a storm all around, Damian calmly and rapidly approached the figure of the Masked Interstellar Beast Master.
A Guardian who used golden lightning.
He paid more and more attention to Guardians as he began hunting Vex Talon, and he could think of one in particular that had a lightning-based beast with a particular golden lightning he was currently seeing.
Another esteemed Guardian.
But after today...
’You will only be a Dead Guardian!’
His mind roared.
His thoughts burned with adrenaline as his muscles churned like engines!
The power of Kitsuul flowed in seamlessly as he phased past all of the tendrils of lightning, appearing behind the Guardian releasing waves and waves of lightning as they were almost reaching the stands to decimate and kill any other remaining Stackborn there.
Damian appeared behind this being who could not see or sense anything about him as he realized the lethality of his power and the potential that it could have for the future.
So long as he became powerful enough to threaten even the most powerful Guardians, he would never even have to face them directly, as all he needed to do was veil himself to the point that none of them could see or sense him as he laid down his retribution.
Just like... now.
He felt the Entropic energies surging within his body as he directed, every single ounce took course through his hand at this moment.
Even though he was invisible, he could see that his hand became like a celestial silver spear of light, and the light being so intense that it painted his entire body with a shockingly glorious silver glow.
And yet, in the outside world, absolutely nothing was visible or seen.
And at that moment, his hand that was like a celestial spear thundered down and pierced through the back of this Guardian.
The levels of Entropic Energy afforded to him by Kitsuul with their 100% Resonance were immense.
His were likely almost double as much as this Symbiotic Resonance Interstellar Beast Master as his were already exceeding 75,000!
Remember, even Guardian Flameborn had barely a third of such Energy Values.
And such a discrepancy in power was what caused it, what occurred next to be possible.
One moment, a masked Guardian was roaring while releasing tendrils of golden lightning, and in the next moment a burst of terrifying silver light barely flashed and was observed by others as...
The upper body of the mask, the Guardian instantly gained a see-through hole.
From his back to his chest, muscles, organs, and bones were cleanly decimated as if something terrifying had pierced through them and scorched them out of existence!
His heart.
His lungs.
Everything!
"Ah..."
And the raging golden lightning rapidly faded as bursts of golden Entropic Energy fell out of him.
He barely managed to look down to see that his chest now had a wide hole on it as his eyes dimmed right after.
And the moment that this occurred, the mask that was on his face covering everything was also blasted away by an unseen force as his face became visible to all.
"Ah...!"
"That!"
Those heavily injured nearby gasped as they became even more horrified.
Because the man who stood while he died, the man whose chest had a wide open hole on it... was another famous Guardian, arguably even more famous than Theresa!
It was Guardian Dawn, a Guardian that actually belonged to a Guardian Team comprised of multiple Guardians of different Beast Corporations!
And now.
He stood dead in the Hollow Stacks!
—
"What in fresh hell is this?!"
On Guardian’s Road.
Near the junction between the Skyglass Heights and the Hollow Stacks.
Multiple Enforcer Drones and Medic Drones were shooting towards the Hollow Stacks as chaos and stampeding hordes of many people were currently occurring!
An Enforcer stood on top of an Aerial Enforcer Armored Drone as she had a Winged Destiny Eel with a single eye floating above her.
Her Enforcer Armament held multiple decorations and symbols of ranks as she was the Enforcer Commander for this region between the Skyglass Heights and all of Hollow Stacks!
And at this moment, her face was stern as she looked at the images and videos of devastation that masked Beast Masters were carrying out across the Hollow Stacks.
But her face paled when another Enforcer came up from behind her.
"Ma’am, you have to see this!"
He came and showed her his phone.
A phone that had a livestream with 1.1 million active viewers so far as it showed... the decapitated head of Guardian Theresa floating in the air!
When the Enforcer Commander saw this, her face paled as she cursed.
"Fuck!"
