As soon as that order sounded through the area, the support unit knew they were done for, and the main force and the vanguard started attacking like crazy.
They didn't care if in the line of fire were their friends and comrades anymore, their only purpose was to kill Eric as soon as possible. ??
And to complete that, they could use those supporting unit guys as bait and attack the big fish while he was eating the bait.
Soon they found out that they were unable to do that, because every time they were close to hitting him, he would accelerate a bit more, and escape their grasp, while he had killed his target.
This situation clearly infuriated all the fighters in there, as it was completely out of their expectations, not only were they leaving their friends to die, and killing them, but they didn't even get a slight advantage.
Soon all the support unit fighters were dead, and it was the turn of the main force and the vanguard. While they could do that to those guys they didn't know well, their own unit was different.
There might be people they hated in there, but still, they were part of their unit, and they had passed a lot of time together.
But the situation they were in, was like they had broken Hell's Gate, and the Devil King himself was killing them one by one, enjoying all their tortures and pain.
In this kind of situation, the slightest hesitations result in terrifying results, and that was exactly what had happened right there.
In a short time of 10 to 15 minutes, the numbers of the main force, and the vanguard had been cut to less than half of what they were.
These guys were soldiers, and had clearly seen blood earlier, and had been trained to fight in a river of blood, but now even them were totally frightened by the scene in front of their eyes.
Eric was just like an Asura, a terrifying one at that. Wherever he passed, a limb would fall down, and the blood would flow like a river.
Even the most experienced of them that had been in similar situations couldn't help but start trembling and shivering seeing Eric kill through the teams, fluidly like a fish in the water.
It was like this was Eric's environment, as its natural habitat. Covered whole in blood, he looked like a messenger of death.
This wasn't happening only to the two teams around him, but all the fighters that Master Miura had brought were already having a bad premonition.
Even though they didn't show it outside, they all had a thought flashing through their minds. 'Perhaps it was a mistake picking a fight with this Asura!'
Seeing this situation, the captain of the main team, went in front of Master Miura, and said in a deep and solemn voice,
Captain:" Master, please give me permission to go and put an end to that barbaric kid!"
Master Miura had been lost in his thoughts all that time, looking at Eric kill his men like he was cutting tomatoes or potatoes had sent him into deep thought.
If Eric was a middle-aged man, or an old fogey he would accept his tenacity, and his unwavering soul, but he was just a young man.
Normally it would be unimaginable for him to do anything like that. And yet, there he was in front of his eyes, doing the same unimaginable thing he thought wouldn't happen.
How was this possible? But there was a more dangerous thought in his head that he didn't want to accept at this moment.
Could it be that Eric was some kind of genius of that Dark Hall organization that he said!? Had he pocked a beehive while wearing just a thin fabric?
If a genius of that power was so frightening, that was killing without any wavering, then what about the elders, and the higher-ups of that power.
Most probably he would be just a dead guy walking after this. But the problem was that he had already jumped over this tiger, and there was no way to retreat right now.
He had totally forgotten about the existence of Shiro and the two black-dressed people behind him since they had been too quiet recently.
As a matter of fact, seeing the scene in front of them, the two ladies had been totally overwhelmed and passed out as a result.
This was the first time they had seen blood and killing, and it happened to be a big massacre that would make even the strongest man pass out.
Young Master Miura Daichi was in the same situation, as he had passed out not long ago. But differently from the two girls, he had passed out due to his fear.
Seeing Eric create a bloodbath right in front of his eyes, he was terrified about his own life. Eric's face had turned into a ghost face that would torment him for all his life.
While all this happened, the Captain was still down on one knee waiting for his orders, he knew that if he didn't go and capture or kill Eric now, the soldiers would give on to fear.
They were already feeling regret for being here, and especially after Master Miura said those words earlier, that treated his own soldier like his lawn grass.
Master Miura was a smart and sly fox, but in face of what was happening even, he was affected, and couldn't help but take a rash decision, like earlier.
But now seeing the Captain down on one knee, he knew he couldn't hesitate, or play by the rules anymore, as he looked at him and said in the same deep voice,
Master Miura:" Go ahead Captain, you can cut him however you wish, as long as he has a breath, and can use his brain!
Use your katanas' from the start, this is not the time to play by the rules. And we don't have to abide by a fistfight."
The Captain acknowledged his order, and getting in front of his team, or regiment, as he had 90 people under him, including the third strongest as his assistant, and said,
Captain:" It's time to revenge our brothers. Let's go and kill that piece of crap!"
With that said he took out his katana and jumped first towards Eric. He was a man that liked blood, and a fierce fight, so he was thinking of having a nice time with Eric.
Behind him, 90 people took out their katanas' and followed behind him with savage screams, and shouts that awakened even the passed out people.
The two ladies behind Shiro were awakened with a startle from all the screams and shouts and were once again met with the bloody scene in front of them.
All their wishes and subconscious tries to make this look like a nightmare, and not reality was crushed in a single moment when they opened their eyes.
They couldn't even vomit anymore, as there was nothing left in their stomachs' to throw out. They were completely empty, from that earlier episode.
They were completely shocked for a moment, but seeing all those people with katanas' running towards Eric they still felt worried for him.
They didn't want him to die. They didn't care how many people had to die, they wanted him to stay alive.
At that moment they didn't know if those were their true feelings or just feelings manipulated by the seals in their persona.
But it didn't matter much, what mattered was that Eric needed to be alive, they were even ready to throw themselves in that fight to help him, even though their faces were whiter than snow.
Noticing their looks, and their attitude, Shiro who had been silent all this time beside them, said in a solemn voice,
Shiro:" What you are thinking right now is useless. Master has all the confidence and security he can handle this situation, you would only make the situation worse.
Right now you are just dead weight for him. If you really want to stay by his side and help him achieve his goals, then you better become stronger!
This is not something I am saying only to you, I am saying the same things to myself! I don't know what a Master's goals are, but I know that it's not something simple.
He will definitely leave a print in mankind's history!"
With that said, he turned his eyes to the battlefield once again, to watch how his master fought, and killed his enemies, while being completely calm and collected.
The truth was that at first Shiro had been really unwilling to be a slave of his seal and Eric's order. He had thought that all his lifetime work, had gone completely down the drain.
He could never complete his ambitions anymore and would have to be the slave of a young man, who was still wet by the ears.
This was a complete humiliation, and damage to his self-confidence, so he had to find a way to get rid of that seal no matter what.
But no matter how much he read, or who he asked the result was the same, nobody could do a thing for him, there was no escape for him.
Of course, hearing that truly disheartened him, but at the same time, a new thought was created in his head.
He was intelligent enough to know that someone who can achieve something like that, wasn't someone ordinary, and even less a young kid wet by the ears.
With that new thought being born inside his mind, he started looking even more carefully at Eric's actions, and assignments he gave to him and Daisuke.
What he learned from all those, firmed his belief that Eric wasn't someone simple and ordinary that he looked, at first sight, there was a lot of mystery surrounding him.
But he didn't care about that, what he cared about, was the fact that his Master's goal and purposes were much higher than those of his own.
And even if he stayed beside him in the slave position, he would achieve much more than he would in his imagination. Slowly he started to think that this seal was not a curse but a blessing…
