Late at night in Bridgemoor City, the slums were enveloped in darkness. The only source of light came from the three massive silvery white moons hanging in the sky.
Deep within the slums of Bridgemoor City, there was a section that was even darker than the rest. The light from the moons couldn''t reach this part of the city.
The loud barking of dogs echoed through the area, and a chilling wind swept through the dark alleys. Everywhere was eerily quiet.
The slums were like a ghost town in the heart of the city.
Within the slums, the buildings were either crumbling or dpidated, with copsed structures and piles of trash scattered everywhere.
The current situation in the slums is quite eerie, with a strange atmosphere hanging in the air.
The strong scent of death lingered in the air, permeating deeper into the slums. Corpses were scattered and strewn about, sttered everywhere.
Each body bore a look of terror and fear in their eyes, as if they had witnessed something truly horrifying before their demise. The scene was both eerie and disturbing.
"Gate Master everything have been taken care off, those who didn''t surrender are already dead " Finn bowed to Zephyr and said respectfully.
"Good," Zephyr replied with a smile.
Currently Zephyr and his Abyss Gate members were standing in the middle of corpses, blood and gore spilled everywhere.
Zephyr was sitting on a piled up bodies of dead people with his long sword soaked in blood on hisps.
Finn and rke were standing infront of him with bloody knives in their hands, their attire smeared with blood.
A few members of the Abyss Gate were also standing behind Finn and rke respectfully also equipped with weapons and their attire smeared with blood.
Some of them had injuries on their bodies, their faces paled but they sinus stood there with fearful and respectfully looks on their faces fearing they might dies if they move inappropriately.
Zephyr casually nced at the dead bodies scattered around them, his eyes devoid of emotion.
After a brief pause, he turned to Finn and said, "Finn, I need you to take care of these bodies. I want this ce cleaned up by tomorrow. Do you understand?" Zephyr''s tone was firm andmanding.
"Yes Gate Master" Finn nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the situation. Zephyr then addressed rke, instructing him to assess our losses and report back promptly.
"Understood Gate Master " rke also nodded in agreement, showing hismitment to the task at hand.
"Good" Zephyr acknowledged their understanding and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.
Finn and rke bowed respectfully before slowly making their way to fulfill their duties.
Zephyr slowly turned and looked at his left. And currently five people were kneeling down on the ground, their knee caps werepletely shattered, bloody holes can be seen on their bodies blood gushing out freely, their faces werepletely pale as white as a sheet of paper.
"Now have you guys decided to surrender or do you want to follow your gang members chose" Zephyr shrugged his shoulders and said to the five men kneeling on the ground groaning in pain.
All of them looked at Zephyr with deep terror and fear in their eyes, they were looking at him as if they were looking at a monster.
"Hey don''t look at me like thst ok " Zephyr rolled his eyes with a displeased face.
"If you guys had surrender amicably none of this would have happened ok so don''t me me, me your unwillingness to surrender" He continue.
"You are a monster, you are simply not human " one of the five men kneeling on the ground said with a shaking voice.
"Hey how can you say that, like I said earlier if you had surrendered earlier then there weren''t a need for this bloodbath " Zephyr said with a smiling face.
"You are a beast, you treat humans lives as animals and you will suffer for this,all those you ughtered will one daye and haunt you" the man continue to roar at Zephyr although there were intense fear in his eyes as e looked Zephyr.
Zephyr looked at the man with narrowed eyes, cold killing intent shing in them.
"Hmph "Zephyr deeply groaned.
BANG!
With a bang that man''s head exploded into bloody mist. Brain matter and blood sttered everywhere some sttering on the other four men kneeling on the ground.
The four men faces waspletely drained of color as their eyes shed with terror, their bodies were literally shaking as they looked at Zephyr.
"Now I''ll say this onest time are you going to surrender or do you want to die" Zephyr said coldly his eyespletely devoid of any emotions.
"I..I..I... surrender" one of the men said in a trembling voice.
Zephyr turned and looked at the other three men.
"I.. I.. surrender" another one said.
"I also surrender"
"Me too I surrender".
The remaining three men also quickly surrendered.
Zephyr emotionales face immediately turned into a bright smile, he patted their shouldersa and said, "You see it wasn''t that hard, if you had surrendered earlier you wouldn''t have been in this embarrassing situation".
The four men didn''t dare to refute, they quickly nodded their heads as of they don''t theirs heads will explode.
Zephyr rubbed his nose and with a wave of gis hand a four vial bottles appeared in his hand. They were clear gree liquid simmering with mesmerizing glow.
"Here take it, these are healing potions they can heal your injuries "Zephyr indifferent tossed the vial bottles to the four men.
They quickly caught the healing potions with trembling hands they looked at Zephyr with more shock.
"What are you looking at me for? Quickly drink it otherwise I''ll take them back" Zephyr said with frown.
The four men hurriedly uncoked the vial bottles and drank all the contents.
A few minutester their injureies started healing visible to the naked eye.
Ten minutester all their injuries were healed except their face were still paled and they felt quite weak.
"Good " Zephyr smiled and nodded.
"Gate Master " Suddenly rke respectful voice sounded behind him.
"What! " Zephyr asked without turning back.
"I''m here to report out losses " rke said in a low voice.
"Go on," Zephyr said with a nod.
"Gate Master, twenty of our members were killed, thirteen were seriously injured, and ten only suffered minor injuries," rke reported.
Zephyr nodded calmly. He turned around and threw a few healing potions to rke. "Use these healing potions to heal the injured."
rke immediately caught the healing potions and bowed to Zephyr. "Thank you, Gate Master."
Zephyr nodded. "And here, take this money and distribute it among the remaining members. Also, take half and give it to the family members of our fallen members."
rke looked at Zephyr with admiration in his eyes as he epted the huge chest containing gold coins.
Zephyr turned to rke and asked, "How many gangs do we still have to deal with?"
rke replied, "We''ve already taken down ten gangs in the slums. There are only three left, and they''re the toughest ones."
Zephyr nodded thoughtfully and said, "Tell Finn to speed up the cleaning. We''ll take on the remaining gangs tomorrow."
rke nodded, bowed, and left slowly.
Alone, Zephyr gazed at the three moons in the sky. A sinister smile spread across his face.
-------------------------------
The next day, the sun was already high up in the sky, scorching the earth with its intense heat.
In the Edel District, at the Morningstar Family Mansion, Felix was on the training ground. He stood at the center, sweat rolling down his well-defined physique.
White steam rose from his body, faint mes flickering around him, his eyes closed tightly. The surroundings were silent.
After a few moments, he abruptly opened his eyes and muttered softly.
Tier 2 Fire Elemental Spell : Fire Clone
Suddenly, his body split into two, with one disappearingpletely and the other made entirely of fire.
Another figure appeared at the far end of the training ground a secondter.
Felix smiled as he looked at the fire-made figure at the distance, a satisfied expression on his face.
A few secondster, the fiery figure slowly dissipated and disappeared.
Felix rubbed his chin, realizing he had now mastered all Tier 1 and Tier 2 Fire Elemental Spells. He was left with only lightning spells to conquer.
Felix strolled back to the center of the training ground, taking a deep breath before closing his eyes.
When he reopened them, a look of seriousness shone in his eyes.
Tier 1 Lightning Elemental Spell : Lightning Trail.
Suddenly, a violet magic circle appeared a few meters away.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A deafening boom followed as a massive bolt of lightning struck the spot where the magic circle had materialized.
A ten-meter-deep crater appeared,pletely charred.
Felix surveyed the damage and shook his head,"Not enough".
