Chapter 13: Proper preparation.
The standoff didn't last long. The only elderly from the rebel group reacted first.
"It's Valen Sunwell!" He shouted, "Don't let him escape! We'll never get a chance like this again!"
He wasn't the first to act though.
While Lee's eyes widened at the sight of six swords lighting up on fire, suddenly something obstructed his field of vision. He blinked a couple of times only to realize it was one of the rebels who as a phantom appeared in front of them, intending to cleave the whole family in halves with one slash, but the sword was blocked by the emperor.
What happened next Lee couldn't comprehend, but only because he barely saw anything. If the guy who attacked first move like a phantom, the emperor was like a wind. He simply disappeared from the spot and the attacker's hand that held the sword already fell to the ground.
When he arrived in front of the rebel group, Lee, Tess, Alan and the rest were showered in the rain of blood and gore that splattered all over the place after the body of the first attacker fell apart piece by piece like in slow motion.
But the massacre only began. Apparently the emperor decided to leave the guys with the flaming swords for desert, because he first cut down the regular ones. They died not showing any resistance and without sound, but no matter where the emperor appeared, it was followed by a fountain of blood blooming right after.
The sight was so captivating, Lee didn't even bother to clean off the intestines that had fallen on his head and shoulders. This was what he was looking for! Not the moron Freewon nor the clowns below the cliff. What the emperor just showed was what those guys in the underground pyramid did!
These were the real superhumans!
