The Deceitful One - Chapter 250: Complete Massacre

The floors, walls, and even the ceiling of a large area inside the cavern had been decked in blood, flesh, and organs. Corpses were strewn around everywhere the eye could see. Some only had a few stabs to their bodies before they died; they were the lucky ones.

Most of the bodies here had their limbs missing, heads turned to mush, intestines wrapped around their necks, and even something as cruel as having their lungs, hearts, livers, etc. eaten. These were the people that had been brutally murdered by Bryan.

Currently, he was standing proudly displaying his dream creature physique in all its glory. However, the silver color of the skin had now been dyed scarlet by the blood of his enemies.

He was holding two of the Rank 2 Transcendents by the heads. While the last four Rank 2s were pierced by his tendrils and were lifted into the air. One tendril for two of them.

The scene of Bryan holding 6 Rank 2 Transcendents in the air evoked a sense of respect as well as terror. The prisoners inside the cages had seen the entire massacre take place. They had witnessed how the Apprentices had lost their minds and starter attacking each other.

Then, they had seen Bryan take advantage of this chaos and start killing the rest of the Transcendents like they were mere flies. Being prisoners who had stayed here for a very long time, they knew very well that these Holy Blood Sect members weren’t normal humans.

After all, they had seen them cast magic and whatnot and knew they were very powerful. But when they saw Bryan slaughtering them like animals, they couldn’t believe their eyes. And worst of all was Bryan’s current appearance.

There was no way he would come across as a hero to the onlookers. If anything, all the prisoners were under the impression that after Bryan slaughtered all the members in this cavern, he would then come to eat them. Hence, they couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

Bryan on the other hand, looked at the six Rank 2 Transcendents he was holding in the air, and grinned from ear to ear, displaying his sharp and jagged teeth. He then spoke in a heavy, guttural voice, “If you tell me what the Central Continent is planning, I might let you go.”

At once, all the six people were overcome by terror. After all, most of them didn’t even know what Bryan was talking about. But there were a few who had overheard some of the plans.

Bryan had astutely noticed the change in expressions of these people and now realized who knew and who didn’t. Hence, at once he viciously clenched his claws that were holding the heads of two transcendents and instantly killed them.

The remaining four people looked on in horror as two of their partners were killed in front of their eyes, they weren’t even able to put up any resistance.

Bryan then folded his upper pair of arms while his lower pair lay hanging by the side. He brought the remaining four people in front of him with the help of his two tendrils that were lodged inside their chests like they were skewered meet.

He then looked at the sheer terror in their eyes and spoke again, “Now, who will tell me?”

The remaining four remained quiet, not because they didn’t want to speak, but because they couldn’t. They were overcome by such terror that they were frozen. Furthermore, the tendrils that had pierced through each of their hearts also didn’t help them in this situation.

The next moment, Bryan controlled his last two tendrils and viciously smashed the heads of two of the people. Instantly, their bodies stropped trembling as they embraced the cold touch of death. And now, only two remained.

“W-Wait, wait, wait!” One of the Transcendents spoke up, “I’ll speak, I’ll speak.”

“I’m listening…” Bryan grinned.

“I only overheard that Lord Marx has gone to the Central Continent.” The person hurriedly spoke. “That’s all I know! I p-promise!” Google search fee.

Bryan then turned his demonic head which had no facial features except the gaping maw toward the other person.

That person gathered the courage to speak, “T-The warden’s office might have some documents…. B-B-But it is locked safely inside the warden’s safe.”

“Safe? Heh.” Bryan scoffed.

“N-Now, please release us. Y-You said you’d let us go,” One of them spoke, his eyes shining with a hint of hope.

Bryan grinned evilly. “I lied.”

The next moment, he tossed them both into the air and raised his four silver claws. Right when they were descending, he viciously swung his claws at them. What fell to the floor weren’t two bodies but chunks of dissected flesh, bones, and organs.

Bryan then took wide strides and walked toward the warden’s office. Inside, he saw numerous books and documents. Since he didn’t want to go through everything currently, he kept them all in his pocket watch.

Apart from that, he also found two small safes which he also put inside his pocket watch. After thoroughly checking with his spiritual sense that he hadn’t missed anything, he then reverted back to his human form, and the face he was wearing was that of a random unassuming person.

With the mask, Deceit, he wasn’t just limited to the faces of the people that he had seen in real life. He was only limited by his imagination. If he so chose, he could mold his face into a mixture of different animals. Of course, he wouldn’t do that. Or perhaps, he might in order to prank others.

He then walked out of the warden’s office and walked across the cavern, all the way to the other side where all the prisoners were kept. On the way, he walked over the dismembered corpses of all the people he had killed, however, he felt no remorse in his heart.

In fact, he wasn’t even appalled by the utter carnage he had caused. The more time passed, the more his dream creature side acclimatized with his human side. And now, all this gore didn’t phase him.

He walked and stood right in front of the cages, his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at all the prisoners huddling in a corner, hugging each other, and looking at him with utter fear. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

One of the little children, who appeared to be a girl of no more than six or seven, looked at Bryan and begged with teary eyes. “P-Please don’t eat us… Go away, please!”

The girl’s mother hurriedly pulled her back and hid her behind her. She then looked at Bryan, her body trembling incessantly.

Bryan’s teeth then turned sharp and jagged, and his two palms transformed into silver claws. He looked at all the prisoners and laughed maniacally, “Kekeke, I’m going to eat all of you alive!”

At once, screams could be heard inside all tens of cages. All of them hurriedly tried to draw back, most of them even closed their eyes, afraid to look at what would happen to them.

All of a sudden, all the prisoners heard a sound that sent shivers down their spines.

CLANG!

The lock had been broken. The sound repeated a few times, indicating that the locks to all the cages had been broken. Following that, silence ensued. The horror and carnage that all the prisoners expected never happened.

The little girl from earlier, peeked from behind her mother and screamed, “Mumma, Mumma! The demon is gone!”

At once, all the prisoners looked outside their respective cages, but couldn’t find Bryan anywhere. However, they still didn’t leave, afraid that they would be attacked once they left their cages.

Meanwhile, Bryan had already taken the elevator back to the ground floor. Of course, he wouldn’t leave the prisoners down there alone. He had a plan.

As soon as he came out of the elevator, the surrounding people screamed in panic when they saw him drenched in blood from head to toe. They all began to flee one by one, only the Apprentices and the few Rank 1 Transcendents remaining.

They all surrounded him and looked at him with hostility and apprehension. Bryan calmly took out his mystiko bracers from his pocket watch and put them on. He looked at his very first weapons and mumbled, “It’s about time I upgrade you, eh?”

He then looked at the surrounding dozen or so people and his lips curled up into a wicked grin. The next moment, he disappeared inside his own shadow, causing everyone to be wide-eyed.

Following that, he emerged from the shadow of one of the Rank 1s and instantly stabbed his mystiko blades inside his cranium. He then pounced on another person nearby and decapitated him.

Just like that, another massacre had begun.

…

A flurry of panic-stricken people exited from the main entrance of the hospital. Amidst the crowd, Bryan walked out with a calm smile. He took out an emergency flare gun from his pocket watch.

This was from the time when he was still in the Silver Owls back in Damascus. He raised the flare gun and aimed it at the sky. The next moment, he pulled the trigger.

BOOM!

A beautiful red-colored firework bloomed in the night sky right above the hospital. Bryan looked at it and smiled. This emergency signal was sure to get the Silver Owls of the city to come here within a few minutes.

They would then naturally be able to piece together everything that had transpired here and eventually find all the prisoners in the underground cavern. This was Bryan’s plan to help save the prisoners.

Seeing that his work was now done, Bryan’s body soon dissipated into gray smoke. The surrounding people, in their state of hysteria, had completely overlooked this. And Bryan had silently disappeared from the spot, with none being the wiser.
