Chapter 635 Instant Defeat
After losing their patience, one of Kisuke's opponents suddenly yelled while lunging at him, "Stop running away you coward!"
Kisuke replied while chuckling, "Good point~!", and dashed forward to meet him.
The guy who had just said that was surprised, but also delighted. It was clear that he was no match in terms of fighting ability, but he was very confident that he could overpower him. And even though he couldn't outright defeat him, having a clash with him would mean that he'd stop moving for a few moments, giving others a chance to land a decisive blow.
In fact, from the corner of his eyes, he could already see three other people coming up to Kisuke from his blind spot.
Kisuke, while running towards him, suddenly threw his cane upwards, his only weapon which he hadn't pulled out after all this time, because he hadn't fought back. The one in front of him thought that it was only to distract those who were coming from behind and ignored it, brandishing his sword towards his hateful enemy, 'This is the end!'
But the moment his sword was about to land on Kisuke's fist that he chose to intercept with, the man noticed a shine on Kisuke's finger, 'A ring?'
And that same ring hit the blade of his sword, deflecting it to the side, "What!?"
In his shock, the man wasn't able to notice Kisuke's other fist in time, which was already about to hit his chin. The sudden attack on his chin rattled his head, but the next thing he knew was that Kisuke was already holding his sword and his right shoulder somehow became lighter.
When he glanced at it to see what was going on, all the pain came rushing in as his sights landed on his own severed arm on the floor, and he screamed in pain, "AHHHHH!!!"
That scream instantly broke everyone's concentration for a moment. Using that chance, Kisuke suddenly threw the enemy's sword in his hand behind him without looking, impaling and pinning the foot of one of the assailants who were rushing towards him, "AHHH!!!"
The second scream also gathered attention, but one of the three rushing at Kisuke noticed the bucket hat in the corner of his eyes and immediately focused his sights on that. However, it was already too late as Kisuke's palm was already on his elbow, and bent it backward, instantly breaking his joint, "GAHH!!!"
Catching the weapon he dropped, Kisuke immediately proceeded to sever his arm, making him scream in more pain as Kisuke dodged the spraying blood.
The last one among the people rushing towards him finally ignored the screams and went to thrust his spear into Kisuke's back. But without even looking back, Kisuke easily deflected the spear and turned around, severing another arm.
With that, four people were screaming in pain and three of them were staring at one of their missing arms on the ground. Kisuke then slowly walked towards the pinned opponent who was trying his best to free himself and said, "Let me help you with that~!"
Without any hesitation, Kisuke severed the pinned leg before turning towards Hyakinthos directions with a smile, while having a chorus of screams behind him, "That's four out and six to go~!"
At that moment, the thrown cane came back down and Kisuke caught it with his free hand, "Shall we continue?"
"T-the tables have turned!!!", shouted Ibri followed by a loud cheer from the surrounding spectators, "Within just a single moment, Kisuke Urahara, the Captain of the Hestia Familia, brutally disabled four of the top fighters of the Apollo Familia all by himself!!!"
Ibri then turned to Shakti and asked, "What do you think, Shakti-sama?"
"There's nothing much else to say.", replied Shakti, "His skills are way beyond all of them. And at this point, it's already the Hestia Familia's win as long as no unforeseen accidents happen. Look. His opponents have already lost their will to fight after witnessing those ruthless and brutal actions."
"Indeed. It's as you say. Right now, all of them except for Hyakinthos are slowly inching towards the exit, and I don't think that the Captain of the Apollo Familia can do anything about it as they are all just hired combatants. I wonder what faces the Gods who helped Apollo are making right now?", commented Ibri. He imagined that they were all making devastated faces and were all about to attack Apollo for dragging them into the problem he'd created.
And he was correct with his assumptions, as Loki was currently laughing at their pale faces, who thought that they'd somehow profit and amuse themselves in this War Game.
Back to the scene, the first one to outright run away was the Mage who wasn't able to do much since earlier, aside from disturbing Kisuke with his attack magic, "T-this can't be happening!"
Seeing that, the other four went towards the exit, leaving Hyakinthos and the disabled Adventurers behind, "I didn't sign up for this!"
"I never thought that something like this was going to happen! F*cking hell!"
"I have to go back... Our Familia is done..."
"W-wait! We're really going to lose if you all run away!", screamed Hyakinthos and tried to stop them, but as Ibri had expected, no one even tried to stop or look behind.
Seeing them disappearing beyond the dark corridor, Hyakinthos couldn't help but mutter, "W-why is this happening?"
"It's because you messed with the wrong shop.", said Kisuke, who had already crept up behind him.
"Hiih!!!", Hyakinthos jumped away from him while letting out a weird sound. At that point, he also decided to run away for now and think of a way to reverse the situation.
But as he stepped into the corridor, he suddenly heard screams beyond it and stopped in his tracks. A few seconds later, the five girls who were supposedly fighting their other combatants outside emerged from the darkness. "Oh? His limbs are still intact?", Aika greeted him with some terrifying words.
It was then that Hyakinthos knew that this war game was already a lost cause, "I-I s-!? AHHHH!!!" But just as he was about to surrender, he suddenly lost his balance and fell straight down while screaming in pain. It was only a second later that he realized that both of his legs were no longer attached to him.
Still, Hyakinthos hadn't forgotten what he was about to do and tried speaking up again. But strangely enough, he couldn't seem to let out his voice, and fear overtook his sense of self when he saw Kisuke looking down on him.
Turning him over with a kick and stepping on his chest while placing his cane beside Hyakinthos' head, Kisuke secretly cast a spell on him.
A few seconds later, his mouth started frothing and his eyes rolled back, losing consciousness. From then on, every time when the Apollo Familia captain closed his eyes, he would see nightmares of him dying in extreme pain in countless ways.
Augmenting both magic and soul techniques, Kisuke was able to show him illusions that were directly branded on his soul and wouldn't disappear as long as his soul didn't sever its connection with his physical body, in other words, dying.
Kisuke may have left him alive today, but he doubted that he'd be able to survive for a few more months before killing himself in despair and hopelessness, 'Not just messing with my shop, but also insulting my girls and Hestia-sama.'
"Hyakinthos Clio was taken out! The Hestia Familia has won!!!", shouted the announcer for everyone in Orario to hear.
