Rise of the Crusader

53 Making A Statement

When Raphael heard the girl, the lines between his eyebrows creased into three lines.

“You mean Adrian?!!”

The girls nodded their heads and a deep frown could be seen on their faces, “While it’s true that life is of insignificant in this place, there are still some people that you need to get permission for before you or anyone can lay hands on.”

“And Adrian is one of them...” The girls took a step closer to Raphael, “You crossed a line, Raphael, and it’s only fit that you suffer a punishment matching that of Adrian!”

Raphael folded his hands across his chest as he stared at the girls, “Oh I see,” Raphael said, “So that means that the both of you are here to kill me, isn’t it?!”

A bone-chilling smile hung on Raphael’s face afterward.

“Truthfully, we dare not. The student’s council, the cabal, and the bratvas have warned everyone not to act against you, but don’t you think that a cowardice act.”

“A man such as yourself should have the power to protect himself and not have to hide behind someone or some group. Well, except that is if you’re even a man!!” There was a tinge of mockery in the woman’s voice as she spoke.

Raphael simply smiled, if the woman had perhaps assumed that those words were going to get to him, then she was completely wrong.

.....

“So what do you say, Raphael, why don’t we end this conflict once and for all in a life and death battle? That way you would at least prove that you have some balls, and others might learn that you aren’t a coward after all.” The pink-haired woman said.

“Yes, or don’t you have any balls down there?!”

The smile still remained on Raphael’s face as he stared at the two girls. “Raphael, when I say go, you rush into the portal... We will head straight to the administration office, and I’m certain they won’t be able to do anything there.” Aiden mumbled as he moved close to Raphael.

Aiden was about to stretch his hand when Raphael shook his head. “There won’t be any need for that!” Raphael responded.

“What are your names?”

The women’s eyes twitched when they heard Raphael’s question, “I’m Nancy and this is Sharon,” The pinky-haired woman said with a rather confused expression on her face.

“Why do you ask?!” Sharon asked.

“It’s a habit of mine to want to know the names of the people I send to their grave.” Raphael simply stretched his hand toward him, and his gloves were removed by Gus, who then went to sit on Devon’s head.

“Haha hahaha!!!! You do have some balls after all,” The women weren’t offended by Raphael, and instead they seemed delighted that he was willing to fight them.

“Raphael, you can’t really be thinking of facing these two, right?” Aiden asked, and seeing that smile Raphael had on their face, he shook his head, “No, no, no, that’s like having a death wish!!!!!”

“This will not be like your fight with Adrian, the both of them are way more stronger, and in case you didn’t notice they are year-3 students,” Aiden exclaimed.

There was a bit of change in the expression on Raphael’s face when he heard Aiden because if they were truly year-3 students, then it was going to be, in fact, very dangerous.

“So they are A-rank metahuman,” Raphael mumbled.

Aiden nodded his head immediately, “Not only that, but I also speculate that their power rank is of six figures!!” There was fear evident in Aiden’s voice as he spoke because the power possessed by a metahuman of six figures power rank was more than any of them could handle.

A stern look appeared on Raphael’s face, and when he heard the woman’s voice, his eyebrows furrowed.

“I hope you’re not thinking of changing your mind just because your friend told you about us,” Nancy said, “That would really give everyone the impression that you’re nothing but a coward.”

Raphael still didn’t allow any of the women’s words to get to him, and he continued to ponder how best it was to handle this decision. Raphael wasn’t basing his judgment on his superpowers, but instead, it was on the gadget with him.

“Is it worth it?!” Raphael thought.

Raphael had no fear whatsoever for these women, even after getting to know their ranks, but he had to ask himself if revealing all that much was worth it.

And after giving it a deep thought, Raphael shook his head. If he was pushed to the back of the wall, then he would be forced to reveal his hands, but since they were still an option, he was going to take it.

“I’m going...” Before Raphael could complete his words, a voice rang out in the alley.

“Hahaha hahaha!!!!!” Followed by that demonic laughter was a young man of pearly white skin appearing in front of Nancy and Sharon.

The man was rather lean with black, lank, straggly hair and maniacal red eyes. He was wearing the academy uniform and his hands were placed inside his pocket.

As the young man stood in front of Nancy and Sharon, a sinister smile could be seen on his face.

“Does the cabal warning mean nothing to you!”

While the man spoke in a soft tone, and a voice that didn’t contain the slightest bit of killing intent, when Sharon and Nancy heard the man, they gulped and beads of sweat could be seen all over their forehead.

“I... I have said it several times, Raphael shouldn’t be touched! I have said it several times, he shouldn’t be touched!!!!!!” The man exclaimed.

Nancy and Sharon glanced at one another, and without wasting any more time, the both of them fled. They mustered all the strength in their body and ran as though their lives depended on it.

However, both of them hadn’t covered much ground when the man appeared in front of them. “Y-You...” Nancy stuttered.

“Who is that?!” Raphael asked as he stared at the young man a few meters away from him.

Aiden heaved a deep breath, when he heard Raphael, he was about to respond when a scream reverberated the whole surrounding.

“Arghhhh!!!!!!!” It was Nancy that screamed as a few seconds after the man appeared in front of her, his teeth became long and pointy, and with a movement from the man, he struck his fangs on her neck.

The man drove his fangs all the way in, and after finding his preferable spot, he increased his biting force, and then ripped the flesh of the region out.

Once the flesh was out, the tissues, blood vessels, and cells were out in the open. The man devilishly licked his lips and soon began to dine on Nancy’s meat as though it were some sort of delicacy.

Before the tight grip of the pale young man, Nancy found herself incapable of moving, but she still managed to utter a few words out of her mouth.

“Ahhhhhhh... Ple... Please~!!!!!!!”

Nancy’s plead didn’t seem to mean anything to the pale young man as he continued to feast heavily on her neck. The man chewed every piece of flesh that came his way and savored in the taste of Nancy’s blood heavily.

The sound of bones cracking soon sounded from Nancy’s body, as when the man came across one of her neck bones, he gnawed on it right away.

Despite Nancy’s screams and the blood which was oozing out of her neck, there was no remorse or pity from the man. He held her body tight and buried his fangs deep into her.

Meanwhile, Sharon’s eyes twitched, and tears could be seen dripping from her eyes. The tears which came out of her eyes weren’t because of Nancy’s condition, but instead, it was because she was unable to move an inch from where she was.

The pale man had locked an intense amount of killing intent on her that, even though she wanted to run away from here, she couldn’t.

THUD!

A few minutes after, and Nancy’s head dropped to the ground. Blood spurted out of her neck, and the pale man’s body was soon covered in blood.

“Pteeeuhhh!” The pale man spat on the ground, “It’s only so-so,” The man spoke with a disgusted expression on his face. He then glanced at Sharon, who was trembling violently, “I hope you taste better!”

“Y-You...”

Sharon gasped, and before she could even react, a pale man appeared in front of her. He buried his fangs into her neck, just the same he had done to Nancy, and within a few minutes, Sharon was without a head.

“Hmm” The pale young man wiped the blood which was on the corner of his lips, and an innocent smile appeared on his face.

“Her blood isn’t so bad,” The man said, as he stared at the two headless bodies on the ground.

Aiden gasped, “He is a predator, who is extremely feral and because of his nature and behavior, everyone calls him the ripper.” Aiden said.
