Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 240: Waste Of Effort

Pablo made himself clear. He didn’t call himself a lion or a dragon, he accepted the Chicken thing and called himself a bone.

"Again. Just talk. I am not impressed at all."

Jamal shook his head and he finally moved away from Pablo’s face. He wasn’t close to him like a wife now at least.

Pablo ignored him and all the high dukes watched the soldiers and Socrates fighting with the Cannibals.

The Cannibals were strong as they were unafraid of anything but they didn’t know any proper way to fight and hence they were losing.

The burning Demonite armor was an advantage for the soldiers and Socrates as the Cannibals were catching fire just by touching them.

The weapons of the soldiers and Socrates were also on fire and that only helped in defeating the Cannibals.

The Cannibals weren’t carrying any weapons with them, they were just fighting with their bodies and teeths.

The soldiers weren’t letting them come close to them and they were using their Egoes as well.

The Cannibals also had Egoes and they were using it but the soldiers were trained and they were easily avoiding the attacks.

But what impressed the High Dukes was how Socrates was dealing with enemies.

He was blind and yet he was dodging attacks with no strain. He was killing and winning. He was not a burden at all.

His spear pierced the skulls of the Cannibals and he was doing it with full vigor.

"They destroyed his Village. Of course he is angry at them." Pablo commented.

"Hmm. It’s personal for him. No wonder he is killing them like that." Rower said.

The other high Dukes said nothing and Pablo also focused on the fight.

The soldiers and Socrates carried on the killing and in five minutes, the Cannibals were dead.

After that, the soldiers stood still, waiting for further orders.

"Are any of you injured?" Pablo asked.

"No!"

"Good. These two armies were the weakest lot. They were trying to test our strengths. The true war will begin inside the Village. I will be walking ahead with the high Dukes and Socrates. You all will be behind me and all the time, stay ready for the battle."

"Yes!"

The soldiers assembled themselves behind Pablo and the high dukes.

"Let’s go, ladies."

Pablo put his hands inside his pockets. He had demanded them from the tailor. It was like the side pockets of a jacket.

"You are not walking in a park. Be serious." Cupid scolded.

’Ignored.’

Pablo ignored Cupid and he even told her that he was ignoring her.

’That was contradictory in so many ways.’ Cupid could only say this.

Pablo didn’t reply and finally stepped forward.

He started walking and on his left side was Socrates and on the right side was Boulder and the other high dukes.

"Socrates, I heard there is a tunnel inside the village. What happens there?" Pablo asked.

"Yes. And it’s not a tunnel, it’s sewage. I don’t know what it is used for now but before it was used for sewer stuff."

"How far is it?"

"Since we are entering from the back side, we will find the tunnel at the end of the village. The reason for this is, the sewage hole is just after the front entrance."

"Hmm."

"Why are you asking that though?" Boulder asked.

"Personal reasons." Pablo didn’t say anything further and Boulder didn’t indulge in that as well.

And after walking a few steps, they finally reached in front of the back entrance of the village.

Only one push was needed to open the gates.

’Can you see anyone behind the gates?’ Pablo asked.

’No. The place looks empty. Could it be that it’s a fake village?’ Cupid expressed her suspicion.

"Socrates, is there any way to know if it’s a fake village or not. We don’t want to get fooled like last time." Pablo asked the chief of the Village himself.

"No. It’s real. If it’s a fake, I would have nullified it. Illusions and mind traps are useless against me."

"Good to know."

Pablo disregarded the false village theory and finally placed his hand on the gate.

It was a metal gate, double gates actually. They were wide and they were rusty like an old man’s joints.

"I am going to push it. The village is looking empty but I am sure an all out attack will happen when we are inside the village. Be ready."

Pablo gave some instructions before doing the deed and when everyone nodded, he took a deep breath and pushed open the doors.

KLANG!

The doors made a loud sound.

"You should have done it silently." Boulder remarked.

"We already made a lot of noise. It doesn’t matter if the door is added to the list." Pablo didn’t care.

Boulder shrugged and since Pablo didn’t care, he stepped inside the village.

But he made sure to step after the first step was made by someone else.

He wasn’t the first one to enter the Village. It could be dangerous.

Boulder was the first one to land his feet inside and Pablo did that just after one second of Boulder.

Seeing no harm happened, every one carried on walking inside.

The soldiers weren’t ten million in numbers anymore as one thousand died while crossing the cliff but the number was still high.

And the high dukes were an army on their own. So Pablo had some good fire power at his disposal.

Everyone kept walking deep inside the village and the scene was the same.

Nothing was visible as the mist was as thick as ever.

Cupid and Andrezj were telling Pablo about his surroundings and Pablo also had the senses of a Vampire now, so he could pick up some things as well.

After one minute, everyone was completely inside the village.

The soldiers, high dukes, Socrates and Pablo.

All of them were there.

KLANG!

A sound rang and everyone was familiar with that sound. They had heard that only recently after all.

It was the sound of the gates.

"So the gates are closed. And there are no heat signs. Which means they are closed automatically by someone’s ego. Nice." Pablo figured what took place.

"It happened right when all the soldiers were inside. They don’t want us to run away." Rower spoke his mind too.

"That was a waste of effort from their side." Pablo added.

"I agree." Rower understood.

"What are you talking about?" Boulder didn’t get it.

"They closed the door so that we couldn’t run away. But that’s pointless…"

Pablo smiled and turned his head at Boulder.

"We never intended to run away."
