Chapter 537 Draven being badass

??Carl collapsed to the ground, holding his gut to stop the bleeding. 

??"Cheetah, take him away!" Harry shouted at the tiger-suited girl. She was diving toward The Reaper but when she heard Harry's order, she changed her trajectory and landed beside Carl.

??Whoosh!

??The girl beside Chandler sent a golden arrow made of sparkling energy to The Reaper to prevent him from attacking. However, The Reaper simply raised his hand, catching the arrow in mid-air without breaking a sweat.

??At that time, the youngster with the eagle emblem shot into the air, leaving a trace of blue light behind him. Michael felt like watching a superhero movie. 

??While the cheetah was dragging Carl away from the Reaper, Harry dashed at The Reaper as the man flying in the air extended his hands towards The Reaper, firing beams of blue energy.

??The Reaper swung his sword with one hand, blocking Harry's punches while raising his other hand as a black shield retracted out of the metal bracelet in his arm.

??The black shield reflected the light beams back at the man above. The youngster didn't expect the shield to return his energy beams to him. He tried to evade but was a few seconds late as the light beam blasted him onto the ceiling above him.

??"Neon!" Harry shouted, seeing Neon hitting the ceiling,

??Sling!

??Harry was still in shock when The Reaper swung his fist, sending the shield flying towards the girl, firing arrows from the elevated platform.

??Boom!

??Michael saw the black shield crashing onto the girl and sending her flying back. The bow and arrow in her arms vanished into thin air, and surprisingly, the shield bounced onto the wall behind the girl and flew back to the Reaper.

??While looking at the battle, Michael understood one thing. The superhero team wasn't amateurs but The Reaper had superior battle experience than them. He was calculating everyone's move even before they could make it. Despite the youngsters showing good teamwork and coordination, The Reaper had the upper hand because of battle awareness.

??As the shield returned to his hand, The Reaper turned his full focus to Harry who fought without any weapons. Michael saw the shield retracting into the bracelet rather than disappearing as Michael initially expected. The device on The Reaper's arm gave him the idea to build something like that so he could defend himself in a physical fight. 

??Until now, Michael depended on his superior close combat skills and sword master to defend himself in a battle with no spells involved. Although Michael felt no need for a shield as it would cramp his fighting style, he decided to build a device like the one The Reaper has.

??Neon and the archer girl were picking themselves from the ground as Harry fought The Reaper single handedly. Michael couldn't take his eyes off The Reaper and Harry. It was like watching a kung fu movie where two masters fought to the death.

??Compared to the rest, Harry seemed to have more battle experience. He almost reacted as fast as The Reaper and blocked his punches and kicks.

??"I can do this all day," Harry said blocking The Reaper's punches,

??"I don't have all day," The Reaper snickered. The very next moment, The Reaper vanished into thin air, shocking everyone except Chandler. However, Michael noticed Chandler's face showed no signs of shock. If Michael was right, Chandler knew about The Reaper's powers, unlike the rest.

??Harry was stunned when The Reaper vanished into thin air. He jerked his head around to locate him but failed to do so. Then, suddenly, he appeared behind Harry. Although Harry possessed the power to sense dangers, his reflex failed him because The Reaper was too fast. 

??He sweep-kicked Harry to make him lose balance and then, The Reaper roundhouse kicked Harry in the head with enough force to create a small shock wave around them.

??"HARRY!" Neon, the archer girl, and the cheetah all shouted as they dashed at The Reaper. 

??The Reaper stomped on Harry's chest as he coughed up blood through his mask. 

??The archer girl and Neon repeatedly fired arrows and energy beams at The Reaper. At the same time, the cheetah dashed at him with her claws growing several inches from her fingers.

??"Eyaw!" The cheetah swung her steel-like claws at The Reaper, only to be blocked by the shield on The Reaper's hand. Her claw produced sparks when they clashed with the shield. 

??Unfortunately for the cheetah, she was not on the same level, or her claws were sharp enough to cut his armor. Hence, he simply let her scratch his chest and when she did, he easily grabbed her hands.

??Whoosh!

??At that exact moment, the archer girl fired an arrow. Little did she know that The Reaper would use the cheetah as his shield. 

??Pulch!

??The arrow pierced the cheetah's back. 

??"Cheetah!" the girl shouted and panicked at what she had done. Meanwhile, The Reaper showed his ruthless side of him by pushing the arrow sticking out of the cheetah's back further into her.

??He did not stop with that. Instead, he unsheathed his black sword from his behind lightning quick and stabbed the cheetah in the gut. Just like before, Michael noticed he didn't go for the kill but stabbed her just to immobilize her.

??Neon didn't fire energy beams because Cheetah stood so close to The Reaper. After Michael pushed aside the cheetah, Neon flew towards her instead of attacking The Reaper.

??He flew towards the cheetah as fast as possible and tried to fly away from the reaper with the cheetah in his arms. The Reaper however had a different idea. The Reaper grabbed Neon by his legs when Neon flew closer to him and pulled Neon towards him.

??The Reaper was too strong as Neon couldn't fly away. As his feet touched the ground, The Reaper grabbed Neon by his neck and punched him in the face.

??"Grrrh," Harry growled but The Reaper knocked him out once again with a stomp on Harry's head,

??Bang!

??Bang!

??Bang!

??The Reaper repeatedly punched Neon in the face as Michael saw blood splashing out of Neon's mouth along with a few teeth. Seeing her teammates getting slaughtered, the archer girl lost her calm composure. She leaped from the platform. In mid-air, she fired arrows after arrows and didn't stop raining down arrows even after her feet touched the ground.

??She was really talented with the bow. Otherwise, she would have hit Neon instead of The Reaper. Her arrows hit The Reaper without missing. But none of the arrows could penetrate his armor. She moved closer and closer to The Reaper to the point she swung her fist in uncontrollable anger.

??However, the anger blinded her and lowered her intelligence. She was an archer not a close combat fighter like Harry or the cheetah. Even they couldn't beat The Reaper, let alone an archer and a delicate girl like her.

??When she tried to beat him with the energy bow, The Reaper released Neon's neck as he collapsed to the ground.

??"You should have gone for the head" The Reaper coldly said before grabbing both her arms. 

??Bang!

??The Reaper headbutted the archer with enough force to knock her out instantly. Then, when all the five were on the ground, either knocked out cold or bleeding, The Reaper finally turned his gaze at Chandler.

??Michael followed The Reaper behind as he suddenly vanished into thin air. A second later, he appeared behind Chandler,

??"No no no no no…" Fergus began to stutter in fear. Chandler slowly turned around to see The Reaper staring at him,

??"Draven," Chandler called The Reaper by his name. Unlike Fergu who shivered and looked pale, Chandler remained calm and composed,

??"You are walking a dangerous path Draven,"  Chandler said in a grave tone but Draven didn't reply,

??"You are doing more harm to Etheria than good Draven. You can't clean this world by killing everyone you think needs to be killed,"

??"A whole lot of good you're doing Chandler," Draven snickered,

??" I am talking to the Draven I know, the angel of lotus. Not to The Reaper, you had become"

??"Hahhahaha" Surprisingly, Michael saw Draven burst into laughter. Hi scold laughter echoed through the eerie hall until he stopped laughing,

??"The Angel of Lotus is long dead. They slaughtered my family, in front of my eyes and when I need the UFH most, you took away my powers," Draven grabbed Chandler by his neck and lifted him off his feet,

??"Your people catch villains at the cost of innocent lives and they call them heroes. I kill a villain to save those innocent lives and you call me evil. It's not fair,"

??"Your ways are wrong Draven. There is no difference between what you do and what the people you kill do," Chandler struggled to speak those words,

??"If anyone follows me, I won't be merciful next time," Draven punched Chandler in the face without holding back his strength. As soon as his fist met Chandler's face, Chandler's nose cracked with a sickening crunching sound. 

??Draven threw Chandler off the platform and looked down at Fergus,

??"Don't…don't…kill me," Fergus crawled back in fear,

??Crack!

??Michael saw Draven step on Fergus's feet, applying pressure until Fergus screamed in agony. Then, Michael could hear the bones in Fergus's feet crushing under Draven's boots.

??"How does it feel?" Draven asked coldly as Fergus kept screaming as loud as he could. Michael saw tears gushing out of Fergus's bloodshot eyes and blood seeping out of his feet,

??"Do you remember her face, Fergus? Do you remember how she begged you to let her go?" Michael heard Draven stutter and for the first time ever, Michael noticed Draven's face show a sign of despair.

??When Michael looked Draven in his eyes, he could see the immense grief Draven had been holding in his heart. 

??"Please…please….let me go…" Fergus screamed in agony but Draven showed no mercy. After crushing Fergus's feet, Draven lifted him off by his collar,

??Crack!

??The moment Fergus stood up, Draven broke Fergus's right hand.

??"ARRGGGHHHH!"

??"You and I are gonna spend so much time quality together,"
