BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - Double Trouble
Chapter 170: Double Trouble
The loud buzzing sound in Moby\'s head coming from his goggles became too unbearable for him to listen to any longer. So, he ripped them out of his head and threw them on the grass under him.
Then, as he did in the exam, he faked his night vision by using his pure demon energy aura on his eyes, claiming that it gave him night vision when in reality it did nothing.
He shifted his focus from the crazy look on Ray\'s face before once again looking at the crying pile of meat in front of him with a mixture of joy and panic.
Joy that Ray had some sort of plan and didn\'t betray him and panic from seeing the sight of the severed limbs, some being the arm that held their school watch on. He did not even bother to check if some of them were dead as it would have led to the same result either way.
This only meant one thing, the school had been notified about the possibly dead, or severed arms of the students and were now headed in their direction.
Of course, Moby knew that he did nothing wrong but the same could not be said about Ray who he had no doubt in his mind had everything planned out. Even if he claimed that it was all self-defence, the gang\'s control over the school and the possible family power of the injured students could either pressure or manipulate the school into expelling, jailing, or even killing him.
The only thing he could do now was leave no evidence, kill every student in the forest before the retrieval team arrives and leave without being caught. Then, he would turn Ray into a demon and mind control him to get past the lie detector test if he was summoned.
However, that would not be possible if they even left a single survivor, it would make both Ray and the witness be telling the truth which would have been impossible and would have brought many doubts and problems coming their way as the school would have no doubt concluded that it must have been some sort of mind manipulation.
Moby did not have time to inform his friends about what happened and for now, just in case anything unexpected arises, he did not order them to retreat. He needed their assistance in the case of unknown enemies showing up.
"I did it Moby! I saved us all! They all got what they deserved!" Ray celebrated as he looked at Moby with wide eyes and a twitchy smile.
"Ray! We have to leave now! Leave no evidence behind!" Moby yelled.
He did not react or hesitate at all, not even celebrating or properly responding to Ray as he knew that he had more important things to worry about.
He bolted straight at the pile of bodies with a serious look in his eyes, his hands filled with an aura of pure demon energy.
His demon energy would be able to completely obliterate them without a trace as it was nothing at all like fire, which was exactly what he intended to do.
He fired a large stream of pure demon energy straight at the pile of students in front of him with no hesitation or remorse. His humanity had already been long lost to him... In front of his eyes, he did not see them as fellow students or even humans but more as piles of XP, assassins and witnesses that would get in his way.
To Moby\'s surprise, as the stream of demon energy erupted out of his hands, his attack was completely and abruptly nullified, almost like it vanished in mid-air hitting something invisible. When he looked closer, he saw a flickering energy barrier surrounding the pile of bodies, making his eyes go wide as he did not expect such a thing to happen.
When he used his energy sense, he was now able to see the entire shield. It was a yellow, slightly cracked energy barrier that surrounded all of the bodies in the shape of a dome.
\'What the fuck is this!? A gadget or someone else\'s ability!?\' Moby inwardly cursed, leaning more towards his latter assumption.
He inwardly panicked and immediately turned around, his energy sense still activated as he was worried that something had happened to Ray when he left him alone but luckily, he saw only his energy signature and no one else.
*Clap*...*Clap*... *Clap*... *Clap...*
The sound of slow clapping suddenly entered into Moby\'s ears from the forest, the exact opposite direction he was looking, making him snap his focus once more.
Yet, even with his night vision, he saw nothing. But, with his energy sense, he saw 2 energy signatures, 1 of a tall, muscular man and one of a short boy around Ray\'s height standing behind a tree, making him inwardly curse as he instinctively took up a fighting stance.
"I commend you for all your efforts so far, you caught us all by surprise. Who knew you and your buddy there had such a plan up your asses. Not to mention that you were about to kill about 60 people just now without even batting an eye. You have far exceeded my expectations, no wonder the boss really wants you! You\'re the real deal! I thought that you would be some pussy trying to act tough after a small power boost but I am happy to be proven wrong…" A tall, spiky red-haired muscular man said as he slowly walked out from behind a tree with a confident, excited smile on his face.
He wore a full set of heavy-looking dark blue armour that was embroidered in gold. On his head, he wore a bandana and no helmet, revealing his obnoxious red, spiky hair that Moby was not sure was natural or gelled. And, he also wore no night vision goggles which greatly confused Moby about how he was able to properly see.
Beside him was a short, young-looking cyan haired boy who seemed to only go up to the waist of his partner. He seemed to be quieter, more calm and collected than his friend, however, he gave off an even greater sense of confidence and arrogance as he wore nearly the exact same smile as the man beside him.
Just like his friend, he wore no goggles and helmet, only opting to wear a bandana for head protection. The rest was a set of black and red armour that looked far more intimidating and expensive than that of his friend\'s.
Even without using his inspect skill, he could feel the immense amount of power exuding from them, making him instinctively take a step back and prepare for the worst.
"But sadly, your fun will now have to come to an end. You have angered the boss and brought shame upon our gangs\' name and reputation. And now you were trying to kill 60 of our most loyal noobies who we wanted to get some practice. We can\'t let that slide now can we? You should have joined when you had the chance, I bet you had no idea what it meant to reject our offer but you will now find out the hard way... I think a punishment is in order… And I will be your executioner…" The red-haired boy said, slowly walking up to Moby with a smile.
"As for you Ray, I expected much better… You still betrayed us after everything we\'ve done for you and the great rewards we promised? You\'re beyond saving! But no matter how much I want to kill you, I am not allowed to as you still have your uses…" He continued, glancing over at Ray who inwardly shuddered, his eyes becoming all shaky from seeing his face again.
\'Fuck, It\'s Jason… Why at times like these…\' Ray inwardly cursed before screaming out to Moby.
"Hey! Let\'s run! Now! They are way too strong for you! They are ranked 4th and 3rd in the gang! We got what we wanted! I am free of their grasp now! We can just flee before the retrieval team comes! If something happens we can just count everything else as self-defence so I shouldn\'t get in trouble with the school,"
"You fool! It\'s not that simple! The system is not fair! The gang has many teachers under their belt that they could manipulate to fuck with the system! If you are caught you would be playing into their web! Our only option is to kill all the witnesses! So fleeing is not an option! We only have so much time before the retrieval team comes! We can\'t waste any time!" Moby immediately retorted to Ray.
Ray inwardly cursed as he had been very much out of the loop in regards to how much strength the gangs have and how far their corruption spread. He only now found out that his plan was fundamentally flawed from the start due to his lack of knowledge.
All he could do now was follow Moby\'s lead and try to take Jason and Nags out before the retrieval team arrives, something he thought to be almost impossible. However, it was his only option in his circumstances.
Nags and Jason could not help but be amused as they listened to the conversation going on between Moby and Ray, trying to hold in their laughter.
"The retrieval team!? Hahahaha! That should be the least of your worries! We already paid off a teacher to delay the watch\'s emergency signals by 2 hours. We fully expected for there to possibly be a few deaths when confronting you since we were also training some newbies and we didn\'t want the retrieval team interrupting us while we enacted our plans. We have a long 2 hours of pain and agony ahead of us! If I were you, I would be more frightened by the fact that the retrieval team won\'t be coming to save your asses from what is about to go down!"
