Reborn as God: The strongest system-Chapter 56 Crisis (2)

Oddly enough, this apprentice dared to look him directly in the eye, so he was slightly interested in hearing what he had to say. On another note, maybe this guy was not an apprentice at all he looked more like a knight.

Esdras had a solemn expression, "I am willing to join you! Please accept me and spare my life. As proof of my loyalty, I will now kill my fellow apprentices."

Reid was one of the apprentices who did not run away he just huddle down in fear. When he heard these words, he felt so confused that he overcame his fear to look at Esdras.

Esdras in return did not bother with them his expression suddenly contorted in a mixture of anger and disgust.

"The Octarine tower is a barbaric and evil organization, they kidnap children from their homes, if they have a little bit of talent, and in force their corrupt ideals on the common people. I have wanted to escape for a long time."

Hearing these words, the apprentices around didn't know if they were dreaming or not. Wasn't this the guy who refused to join them in the escape attempt just a few days ago?

The bald man and the lazy young man had abused expressions. The bald man snickered, "well, go on then kill your friends, kill your precious comrades, and prove yourself!"

He wanted to see friends turn on each other, ugly faces, and then even uglier choices in the face of life and death. It was truly one of the few things that brought him through pleasure life.

He laughed and laughed even harder when he saw the look of conflicting emotions on Esdras's face.

Esdras turned around and used his great broadsword and he slashed the necks of several apprentices lying prone out of fear. Although his expression looked hesitant, his actions were far from it.

With ruthless abandon he killed several of them even the ones who tried to run away. Throughout he only displayed the power of a newly initiated Vigor knight, intentionally.

The two True mages had cunning looks when they saw Esdras chasing after the escaping apprentices, they thought that he wanted to use this chance, and escape himself after making some distance between them.

And yet contrary to their expectations he came back right after to finish off the ones who are prostrating close by.

This served to change their expectations. As for him being a Vigor knight? Naturally, they didn't care. To them that was hardly any different from a Mortal.

Reid was one of the apprentices who witnessed Esdras's execution, and realize they would have died anyway he was much stronger than they thought, and much more merciless. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Mastering up his desire for survival, he tried to say something, "W-wait! That guy! You can't trust him he's—"

The little bastard was actually trying to warn the black mages about Esdras, at which point he increased his feet slightly and beheaded him on the spot. He was a cunt to the end.

Seeing that headless corpse of their leader, for many apprentices ran towards their only hope the black mages.

"Me too! Me too! I want to join! I'm not like them!"

"Please! Please!"

it was exactly something like this, that he wanted to happen. This is why he targeted the scattered apprentices first.

Esdras chased in the apprentices who were closing in on the black mages and roared, "you won't get away!"

The two black mages looked at the approaching apprentices like insects.

It was at this moment that Esdras performed a white spinning slash attack It was so strong that it immediately killed over five apprentices.

The two black mages were taken back by the sudden outburst of power, that attack was simply too powerful for a vigor knight. And yet they weren't able to complete their thoughts.

They did not have the leisure to think further, as under the cover of the scatter guts and blood, a man cut through all that with double no it was triple the speed that he had displayed all the time.

The most important aspect, when challenging enemies of greater number or strength, what is the element of surprise. It could change the outcome of wars and the fate of nations.

Eyes burning with determination. He crossed over, closed the distance between him and the two black mages, his vigor was unleashed, is created a layer visible to the naked eye on the sword.

"[Scattered bone spikes!]"

However, the bald man already had several bones in his hand this whole time.

Although they were slightly convinced by Esdras's act, they were not amateurs. And they were ready for any situation that came up.

So, despite all that planning, he will still stay up too late the spell was going to reach him before his sword reached the bald mage.

Several tiny bones in his hand were crushed, and then scattered, and then transformed into much bigger spikes that each had a very sharp edge, and they were spinning with the power of a dark mana.

Esdras did not change his trajectory nor did he slow down at all, as if he did not see the lethal attack coming. Even with his great body he would be completely incapacitated after taking such an attack hit on.

Yet, something miraculous happened. A golden hallow appeared around him, blocking all the bones at once, and returning a rebound force on the stand bald man.

This was the last use of the Halo of evasion, which he had already used twice to save his life. This was the real reason he was confident in his ambush.

The rebound force sent the two men who are standing close to each other in different directions. Esdras targeted the bald man because he took most of the damage and was the weakest one of the two in this state.

His sword burning with visible vigor cleaved him in half from the waist down, and once again from the head down to the crotch. Double tapping with a habit he developed as a gamer.

Without taking a moment to celebrate, he turned around and sprinted to where the other black mage fell.

[Bone prison!]

Unfortunately, the other one was much less injured, and had the time to recover very quickly, enough to cast a spell around himself.

It was one usually used to hold enemies in place, but he was creative enough to use it to protect himself.

Even more annoying, he noticed a fiery red smoke signal has been launched in the air by the warlock.

Esdras cursed and turned back to runaway. He knew where to go.
