Noticing how horrified Gina and Aaron were by my actions and the deaths of their companions, I couldn’t stop myself from snickering, making the two chicks shiver in fear.
"Tsk tsk, two little chicks who never took the time to leave the nest have decided that coming back to the past was their new lease on life. How unfortunate it is that you happened to enter this instance at the same time as I did. Sigh; life is so unfair to those who are weak." Continuing to spin Oliver’s decapitated head on my finger, I bounced it a few times while appearing lost in thought.
"Why…why *sob* we were supposed to get strong and take over the Heroes Association together…" Breaking down at the death of Oliver, who I assumed by her reaction was her boyfriend, Gina collapsed onto her knees.
Nearby, Aaron had backed himself against the wall, not bothering to hide the wet spot forming on his trousers between his legs from where he had begun soiling himself.
"Hehehe, ahhh, I forgot how helpless some people are when brought to the brink of despair; how I missed this feeling. Here, catch!" Inhaling deeply through my nose, I gently bounced Oliver’s head upward before spinning around swiftly and kicking it with all my might, my target, the fallen Gina.
Completely unable to react for one reason or another, the head flew with great speed and collided with Gina’s chest, sending her sprawling onto her back and erupting in a fit of scared screams.
"Ohhh, how I’m going to have fun with you guys," walking over to the downed girl menacingly, I crouched down beside her, caught her by the throat, and forced her to look into my eyes.
’Psy-kinesis, Empty out your inventory on the ground.’ Activating my Coercion skill, I pushed ample amounts of Particles into my words, causing Gina’s eyes to glow just like my own and forcing her body to move robotically as she followed my command.
"That’s a good girl; now stay here while I go deal with numbnuts over there." With a wave of my hand, I retrieved every ounce of loot Gina had deposited on the ground without bothering to examine it.
Once every item and coin had been stored away for safekeeping, I released her not so gently, causing the girl to kick at the ground as she tried putting distance between herself and me.
"Sttsttt Stayy away from mee…" Noticing I was coming after him next, Aaron summoned all the willpower he had in his body, and although stuttering horribly, the young man held up an expensive-looking sword, pointing it in my direction.
Seeing his defiant attitude masked under the waves of fear, I smirked and continued stalking him like a predator toward its prey.
"Heh, you shouldn’t stutter when trying to get your point across; put some bass in that baby-ish voice of yours, stand tall, eh, who am I kidding? It doesn’t matter what you do or say; you’re done for, regardless of how defiant you are against me."
’Toss your sword to the side and empty your inventory of everything onto the ground beside you.’ Since Aaron was already staring into my eyes, albeit with terror instead of resolve, it was simple for me to push my will onto him, and like Gina, a few seconds later, everything he owned lay beside him in a messy pile.
’Sigh, it really is too simple dealing with weaklings; neither of these two has a high enough intelligence stat to defy me; how boring.’ Mimicking my earlier actions with Gina’s loot, I stored all of Aarons before thrusting my dagger under his chin, piercing through his brain and killing him like a helpless chicken.
Closing my eyes, I took a second to feel the particles and life leaving the head taller boy’s body as I absorbed the minute amount of energy, leaving him turning it into my own in the form of XP.
"Hm, isn’t that interesting, level 6 of the Alpha-Rank. I do wonder how a helpless group such as yours was able to come so far; then again, you lot did get chased back to the safe zone by monsters, so you naturally weren’t THAT strong." Speaking to myself, I turned around and watched as Gina, with tears streaming down her cheeks, continued scooting with her back facing away from me toward the Gate.
Terrified by my Talent’s ability, her mind was an absolute mess, yet something inside her kept screaming if she could just make it to the Gate, she would be safe from me.
"A fruitless effort," Clicking my tongue, the icy blue aura from my Augmentation Stage 2 leaked out of my skin. It covered my legs, strengthening them and temporarily pushing my leg strength beyond my natural limit and into the mid-alpha range.
Lightly tapping the ground with the tips of my toes, I hopped forward and burst into a sprint before suddenly appearing behind Gina like a ghost, causing her to bump into me and scream.
"You know, if I were physically older, I’d have no problem showing you a good time, but alas, I am trapped in this childish body; what a drag." Speaking casually, I reached down, grabbed Gina by the hair, and lifted her lithe body off the ground.
"Please God, No, No nono, please don’t kill me," instinct kicked in, and upon feeling the pain originating in her scalp as I lifted her body, Gina began thrashing around and sobbing; however, she soon realized that I was physically stronger than her and that it was useless; thus she changed her tactic and began pleading for her life.
"Shhhhh, now now, Gina, nothing you say can save you; the only question is how long I will keep you alive," Using a calming tone of speaking, I lightly tossed the young lady into the air and released her hair before spinning her around with a light push on her shoulder and catching her by the throat.
I had to admit, being this close to her, I noticed she was pretty cute, in a would grow up to be a total slut kind of way, but without hormones raging in my body or being physically mature, it wasn’t worth doing anything of that sort to her.
