Chapter 200: Kill Or Be Killed (3)

Tyler and his wives woke up early, gathered in the living room and Kass loaded up her dimensional void with 5 jugs of Esper’s magical potion, some extra weapons and armor sets just in case and they went over the plan one more time.

The group teleported to the center of Vexa, which was much smaller than Vespa. They used Tyler’s space realm to hop into to avoid being seen. After locating where the poorest area was, they hopped out and immediately went into action.

"Amanda and Sophie, make sure no innocents are caught in the fray. Target the masked only. Make them quick strikes and don’t think of them as people," Tyler ordered and they sprung into action.

Nyxara was ruthless. She re-quipped into her assassin form and teleported mask to mask, slicing their throats with ease. Kass expanded into her larger form and ripped through the necks of each and every masked person she saw.

Amanda and Sophie protected the innocent people and this time, they weren’t afraid of pictures. Tyler appeared in front of a family and absorbed an attack with his staff, turned and winked, tossed them a 100 credit coin and continued his search for one of the hideouts.

"He’s here! Tyler and his wives are here to rescue us from these petty thugs!" the man and his wife shouted excitedly.

Not everyone was thrilled the group was there. Several people cast magic at him, Sophie or Amanda despite them protecting these people from spells that missed Kass or Nyx. Amanda saw magic headed straight for Sophie so she teleported it and rebounded it back at the caster. She watched the large ice shard impale the mains head.

’I just killed someone...’ Amanda froze.

Tyler noticed and was by her quickly. He phased them to Vox’s realm and wiped her tears away.

"It’s ok Amanda. You saved Sophie’s life, you didn’t have a choice," he said while hugging her quickly. "Are you ok to go back or do you need to stay here?"

"Let’s go back!" Amanda shouted angrily. "Thank you Tyler but these people are so fucking stupid! We’re here to save them and they attack us, ugh!"

"I know babe. That’s why I said don’t think of them as people. We’re here to draw out the maroon mask and wipe out the dark purple," Tyler smiled as they phased back.

Nyxara and Kass saw a large number of people coming out of an alleyway so Kass told Nyx she was sending a message to the group chat. She accidentally included Zinnia.

{Found a major hideout. Get over here Tyler.} Kass

{Good luck everyone. Don’t be stupid.} Zinnia.

Thankfully Zinnia stayed in Vespa and didn’t have a reaction. She was walking through the Northern slums evaluating the progress Topa made. They were repairing buildings, improving things and out in large numbers of the illusionists. It was a good look for them.

Back in Vexa, Tyler teleported to the hideout and unleashed Gaia.

"Make sure no one leaves and kill whoever you have to," Tyler said sternly.

"Don’t want us to do anything?" Ash asked curiously.

"Not yet. They need to fear me, not because I have a bunch of strong familiars."

"That’s my boy!" Ash chirped cheerfully.

Tyler cast a large light spell that incinerated everyone in the room. The screams and cries of hundreds of masked people echoed through the alleyway for all to hear. Kass and Nyx continued slicing and dicing their way through the masses like it was nothing. A large pile of dead bodies and blood stained the city streets, buildings and walls.

Sophie and Amanda continued protecting the civilians from spells that missed and despite people trying to disrupt them. They were easily able to evade the blows and simply knocked them unconscious.

"Ungrateful fuckers," Sophie scoffed.

{Ding! Congratulations! You have reached rank SSS on your limitless elven system! All stats are at 100.}

"I did it!" Amanda cheered. "I’m SSS!"

"Good job girlie!" Sophie said as the two continued to work in tandem.

*******

"Get the fuck out of my hideout!" a light purple masked man’s voice screamed as he started casting spells at Tyler.

He simply absorbed each one with his staff and eventually shot it directly back at him. The man blocked the spell, but sent it flying right at his black mask, who no longer had a head. It smashed into the wall like a grape and his body went limp, falling to the ground spraying blood everywhere.

"So you’d kill your own to protect yourself, such a brave man," Tyler mocked him.

The light purple mask did his best to send spells at Tyler, but it was useless. Each time Tyler absorbed it with his staff, desperately hoping to get a system message that it finally reached its maximum level of 10.

’Damnit! Come on Crescens! You have to be close. Maybe I just need Zinnia to power this baby up,’ Tyler thought while Gaia snuck underneath the masked man.

"What the fuck?" the man screamed as he was taken to the ground and pulled toward Tyler.

"Go ahead Vivian. Ask him who is in charge around here and who the maroon mask is."

Vivian appeared and before the masked man could attempt to block her charm, it landed. She asked what Tyler requested and the man started answering robotically, giving them everything they needed.

"The human agent 4? He’s the Necram’s little pet project on how much power a human can take. He’s already received 5 injections. I want some but he won’t let me get any."

"Viv, ask him if he knows who runs the organization and who is above the maroon mask."

She turned and watched the masked man’s eyes spin around clockwise, lost in her trance.

"0 runs this organization and I don’t know who is above 4. He wouldn’t share that with me."

"Anything else Tyler? This is getting pointless and I can hear a lot going on outside."

Tyler slammed his staff through the masked man’s heart without a second thought. He pulled off the mask.

"Another elf... what the fuck?!" Tyler screamed.

The room was clear so he started it on fire. His aura was large and flying around him like it was alive again. He walked outside and noticed Amanda and Sophie had joined with Kass and Nyx.

"Someone’s hot," Amanda giggled.

His aura made them feel better. They quickly huddled around him and noticed that they felt rejuvenated. Tyler’s passive ability was getting stronger, especially as an adult phoenix.

"Everyone good?" Tyler asked.

"Yes...is it bad I don’t care we just killed a bunch of people?" Sophie asked. "By the way your aura is literally replenishing my mana, I can feel it."

"That’s good to know. Amanda, it was another elf." Tyler sighed.

"Those stupid fuckers! No Sophie you shouldn’t feel bad. I’m glad he’s dead, fuck them!" Amanda scoffed.

Nyxara grinned. "This is something you’ll have to get used to as vampiric nobles. If there is war, we fight with our people. Kill or be killed, pretty simple lesson to learn today."

"I agree," Kass smirked. "It felt good to let off some steam and rip through those little punks like they were nothing. I hit SSS!"

"Me too! Good job Kass," Amanda said cheerfully.

"Great job ladies! Hell yeah, now you just have to push yourself beyond the limits and I’ll have my next portion of my Path of the Righteous quest." Tyler bragged. "I’m so proud of all of you, I love you tons."

"Love you too, but look who is walking down the street," Kass grinned. "This fucker is mine."

"How dare you destroy my possessions?" A dark purple masked person asked while forming lightning bolts in their hands. "Who should I kill first?"
