DEVIANT

Chapter 68

68 Chapter 68: Alex Briggs is here

Alex had already made it out of the tunnel and he could already see another body getting tossed out from the window. From what he knows the gray field academy actually covers elemental school, middle school, and high school. So far he has not seen a Lost below the age of thirteen. It’s rare for a deviant to awaken his talents at such a young age, meaning trying to wield a beast gear at that age is no different from suicide. At least the Tyrant gang knows that much and maybe only hold them as hostages so he didn’t have to bother about them, the guardians will find a way to rescue them.

Right now the closest building one can find in the middle school, so Alex didn’t hesitate to dash forward. His appearance already drew the attention of the new Losts created and they were nearly twenty in number, dashing towards him.

In such a situation Alex remained calm and considered his options. While each Lost possesses power comparable to wolf tier mutant beasts, they only possessed the intelligence of a dog at best. In his opinion they were no different from the zombies he has seen in so many apocalyptic zombie movies, the only difference is that they are slightly smarter and more aggressive with a touch of average fighting skills.

Bang!

The Losts came from various sides running towards them, giving Alex an opportunity. His eyes revealed his killing intentions as he charged toward the middle school building without hesitation. Ahead of him were five Losts coming from that building but even then he didn’t hesitate.

He quickly cast the bronze statue secret technique, turning his skin bronze as he gripped the hilt of his twin dagger and began running his demon-kin technique first stage!

With the combination of the two forms of the first stage, Flow and Perceive, Alex’s fitness was improved while his foresight was enhanced. With very minor movement a sluggish Lost made he could guess their next line of action and reacted accordingly.

Wam!

The first Lost had a greatsword for a weapon, which seemed to have merged with its body and has become its hands. With great effort, it raised the weapon and struck horizontally at Alex attempting to split him in two.

.....

Whoosh!

Alex performed a side flip, jumping over the Lost who was barely up to 5.6ft. He brandished his dagger while in mid-air, decapitating the Lost without hesitation, and the moment his feet struck the ground his eyes let out a vicious light as he sidestepped and slashed forward.

Slash!

A katana wielding Lost attacked vertically in a bid to split Alex in two but with the side step, he escaped the attack and swung forward, pushing his dagger into the skull of the Lost.

“Kill!” Alex growled as he spun violently, using his second dagger to decapitate the Lost almost effortlessly.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The last three Losts let out an enraged scream as they jumped towards Alex together but Alex didn’t flinch.

Peng!

Slapping the blades of his dagger together he released a powerful sound wave which blew the three Losts away while causing them to hold their heads in pain.

Whoosh!

Alex didn’t bother with them as he dashed past them and jumped into a class on the ground floor, smashing through the window!

Crash!

Alex fell into the room and rolled forward. Immediately he got on his knees he slapped his blades again without hesitation but this time it was a bit softer. The sound waves rang across the room shattering all the glasses meanwhile causing the students to hold their heads in pain but Alex didn’t care that he was hurting these kids.

His cold gaze was pinned on the five members of the Tyrant gang in the room. He glanced around quickly and noted that no cameras were in the room. At that point, his eyes turned black and all five men felt like mountains were dropped on their backs causing them to fall to their knees.

When the sound wave attack was initiated, they already let go of their weapons and held their heads. So when they were hit by the gravity powers they could only watch Alex approach in fear. Unable to move a finger they saw Alex as the grim reaper as he casually walked towards each of them and slit their throats, not caring that kids were watching.

In less than five minutes, all five Tyrant gang members were dead and the kids were gazing at Alex with fear in their eyes. He guessed these kids should be around twelve to thirteen years and he wondered why they weren’t the ones used for the experiment first. He guessed those with the beast gears came with a chopper and that’s why Losts thrown out always come from the top floor.

It’s not that they weren’t chosen to be used, it’s just that it’s not their turn.

He glanced around and noticed three dead kids, two were girls and one was a gun. Shot right in front of the others. The eyes of the kids alive were red and heavy but none dared make a sound. Alex knew what was happening, they were terrified. Who would have thought children this young will go through something like this? Alex has never been the emotional type so he didn’t know how to console these kids. He could see the way they were gazing r him as if they wanted to know if he is the good guy or the bad guy.

Seeing such innocence pissed him off. If the government put down these gangs before they grew to this level all of this would have been avoided. Instead, they let them grow until they reached this level because they had something to benefit from them. This made Alex’s rage boil as his drive to acquire more power and make things right to rise. His grip tightened on the dagger in his hands and with so much emotion he cried out these words.

“WHILE I’M HERE, NO ONE WILL HURT YOU... ALEX BRIGGS IS HERE!!!!”
