Chapter 263 - Crack Down (part 4).
The moment Blake dashed into the left side of the hideout, Castiel turned invisible as he moved into the right side. He saw 2 crates dropped on the floor and kept on moving down the corridor.
Currently, the right side of the hideout had 20 gang members and that included the 3rd in command and those that were moving the crates.
At the moment of the Blackout, the 3rd in command had realized what was going on and had alerted the gang members that were close to him.
They were only 15 he could get to because the rest were still on their way and were slowed down by the crates they were carrying. So, he sent out 5 members to meet up with the other 7 (AN: Blake killed 2) and make sure they came back safely. But he had no idea that Castiel was already close to them.
"Did something go wrong with the core?" One of the 5 bandits who were carrying crates asked when the blackout occurred.
There were 3 at the front and 2 behind as they moved forward. So, the one in the middle cast a flame ball and made it float above the group, but that was when they began hearing footsteps..
"What took you 3 so long?" The one in the middle asked as they turned to see their teammates who were lagging behind for an unknown reason.
When they turned they didn't see their 3 fellow gang members, but they saw 2 daggers with a burning glow to them. The one at the middle immediately increased the intensity of the flames, but they only saw 2 floating daggers.
"What the hell is going on?" The 5 bandits were utterly confused and scared, but soon the floating daggers disappeared.
"Is it me or are my eyes playing tricks on me?" One of the gang members at the front (the previous back which had 2 people) asked, but that was when something liquid began touching him at his back.
"What the…" The gang member turned back only to see it was blood, and it was coming from the slit throat of the member in the middle.
With the death of the caster, the fireball floating above them extinguished and the corridor returned to darkness.
"Shit!" The bandits cursed as they had no idea of who and where their opponent was, but that was when 4 sharp black solid tentacles went through their heads and killing them instantly.
CRASH!
With their grips loosened, the crates crashed onto the ground and shattered.
"What was that?" Immediately the crates had shattered, that was when the 5 gang members sent to fetch them arrived at the scene.
"Shit!" The bandit in front cursed when the light from the flame torch fell on the 4 corpses which had a large hole on their head.
"Get back!" The gang member shouted. He didn't know who the invader was, but he didn't want to take any chances.
The bandits didn't ask questions as they began to run back to the storage room where they came from, but that was when they looked back in horror and saw 2 flaming daggers chasing after them.
At that moment their adrenaline began pumping as they increased their speeds.
They kept on looking back at the flaming dual daggers, but that was when it suddenly disappeared and they began hearing tinkering sounds from above.
They pointed their flame touches to the ceiling, but that was when they saw a shadow jump down, and the gang member at the back screamed in pain as tendrils pierced through his heart and head.
"What the fuck!' At this point the bandit at the front tripped and fell on the floor, causing a chain reaction that led the rest to fall. They began crawling backward in fear as the flaming dual daggers were slowly closing in on them.
They had no clue of what they were up against and were scared shitless about it.
According to their logic, it couldn't be a human because this wasn't a power they had knowledge of and it couldn't be a beast because even though it had tendrils they couldn't see the rest of its body.
They were so scared to the point that their hands became too weak to crawl backward and they had forgotten they had powers.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Deciding he had seen enough, Castiel's daggers went through the skulls of 2 gang members, while his tendrils bore 2 holes each in the heart and head of the others.
'Don't know why, but that was quite fun.' Castiel thought with a guilty smile on his face.
After he made sure they were no longer breathing, Castiel didn't rush towards the storage room, but he took his time by walking.
…
At the storage unit, 5 minutes later
"It's most likely they have been killed. You guys should get ready and take your positions." Taft the 3rd in command of the Black scorpion gang said to the remaining 9 men that were in the room with him.
They waited for 5 more minutes but there was still no sign of anyone. This made the hearts of everyone in the room beat faster as their palms and foreheads became sweaty.
That was when the door suddenly opened and black mist rushed inside the room.
...
For close to 3 minutes, Castiel had been outside the door monitoring the position of the 10 gang members in the room with the system's heat vision.
(AN: Remember, all summoned to Infinite realm possessed system and it had basic functions such as night and heat vision. PS: Castiel doesn't need night-vision :)
He had been outside controlling and accumulating night mist to a restricted area. So when he thought the quantity was enough for the room, he use a tendril to open door to the storage room and let the gas flow.
"What the suck is that?" The gang members were confused by the black gas but that was when Taft screamed at them.
"Don't let the room get filled with it. Use wind spells to blow it out of the room!" But this only made Castiel smile.
