BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 It was my fault to trust you
“You can pick up the Survivors, I’ve just exiled if you feel like collecting more trash. But I want you to leave. It was my fault to trust your people.” Dilan’s voice reached Felia, who could only cower upon being spoken to.
She didn’t even dare to turn her head in Dilan’s direction in fear of becoming his next victim.
Dilan noticed her hesitation, but that didn’t matter to him. He had killed her soldiers, and the few Survivors, who believed that they could stay in his group after betraying them.
They may have suddenly changed their opinion, but Dilan was not generous enough to give them a second chance.
Giving them five seconds to run for their lives was already more than he actually wanted to give them.
After all, it was a risk to allow the Tier-1 Ascenders to leave.
Nonetheless, Dilan had given the others enough time to leave. Those who stayed behind were killed, and their corpses disposed of by Williams and Sven.
By now, almost everyone had heard of the deeds of Felia’s soldiers.
Even the remaining Soldiers, who hadn’t done anything, had arrived.
They were having a great time in Dilan’s group while speaking to his people and getting to know their strengths..
It was truly interesting and they believed that getting to know everyone was worth a try. After all, there had been the possibility to bait them and bring them over to the Blue Star camp.
However, at the sight of their comrade’s corpses, unbending rage filled the soldiers. They grasped their rifles without hesitation and aimed at Dilan.
“You piece of shit. How dare you kill our Soldiers? Do you even know who you offended with this action?!” One of them snarled, his voice full of hatred and anger.
He hadn’t witnessed what Dilan had done to the soldiers, and how easy it had been for Dilan to turn his comrades into a pile of mangled bodies.
And even if he knew, it didn’t matter. Seeing the wound Dilan had around his abdomen, he and many other soldiers believed that it would be no problem for them to kill Dilan as long as they aimed at his already severely bleeding wound.
‘We are at an advantage against him, so he should shut his filthy mouth, and act obediently!!’ The young man thought confidently.
But Dilan’s cold eyes met the young man’s gaze before his hand holding the Blazing Serpentine Blade moved.
A fraction of a second before the Blazing Serpentine Blade whizzed through the surrounding in its enlarged form, a thunderous sound originated from Dilan as he activated [Thunder Step] once again.
[Bracing Pain] was currently still fully unleashed, amplifying all of his stats by 50%. After his Agility was further increased with the activation of [Thunder Step], the subtle movements of his arm were invisible to the eye of the low-leveled Ascenders.
Most of them were unleveled, and only a few were at Level 4 or 5. Their Agility was twice the average human before the Primordial Ascension.
This was insignificant in front of Dilan’s Agility which currently exceeded 130 times the average human before the Primordial Ascension.
A single motion of his arm was enough to allow the Blazing Serpentine Blade to reach a terrifying speed.
Burning brightly, the blade sliced through the air, turning into a red, searing hot flash that lashed out at the group of remaining Soldiers.
Everyone expected blood, intestines, body parts, and brain mass to splatter through the surroundings, and Felia stared at him feeling horror-stricken. She had wanted to intervene and do something, but her legs didn’t allow her to move even a single inch.
Thus, she closed her eyes as tears trickled down her cheek.
But instead of pained screams, she could only hear astonished exclamations and the sound of metal falling to the ground.
Instinctively, Felia opened her eyes once again. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth the moment she saw that everyone was fine.
Not a single droplet of blood had touched the ground. Yet, the expressions on the soldiers’ faces were ghastly. They looked at Dilan like he was a demon, who had just ascended out of the pits of hell.
All of their weapons were cut in half, the barrels and a major chunk of their equipment had fallen to the ground, while the rest was tightly held on by the Soldiers.
“That’s the last chance. Either leave, or it won’t be the rifles that will be cut apart when I strike again.”
Dilan really didn’t want to kill the others. He may be deemed as irrational and as a monster by many people right now, especially because he had killed the unarmed Survivors, who had once belonged to his group.
However, that was not to his concern, and giving the Soldiers, including Felia, one last chance to leave was already more than many would do.
By now, Felia had gotten up from the ground. The tears that had trickled down the corners of her eyes had not yet dried up, but she could tell that Dilan’s patience was waning.
“Let’s go back to the Blue Star camp…now…” She said in a weak voice, all the authority and confidence she had accumulated during the last month dissipating into thin air.
However, even if her confidence had been crushed, and her fear of Dilan was increasing by the minute, she knew that she had to command the others to leave, otherwise, they might accidentally do something stupid.
In the worst case, they might even accept a ‘heroic’ death in a suicidal attempt to injure or even kill Dilan.
‘I cannot let them face the same fate as those bastards…The moment I throw them at this monster, they will be ripped apart in shreds…’
The soldiers understood that they had no chance of winning against Dilan. They would die, in the worst case, in exchange for gaining nothing.
They had realized that their fellow soldiers, who had been killed, had been the culprits. That was what they heard from the gossip around them after Dilan cut their weapons.
“So they are protecting their comrades even though they deserve to die after trying to **** one of our group?”
“How unreasonable can someone be? Are they really trying to twist the truth, just to make it seem as if these rapists were good people?!”
There were numerous comments like these from the Soldiers, and they quickly realized that the truth might have been different than they first presumed. Some of the soldiers didn’t want to accept that their comrades had turned into rapists, but the disgusted expressions of the onlookers revealed everything.
In the end, there was nothing for the soldiers to do, but leave. There were hundreds of Ascenders around them, all of who were ready to attack them the moment they would try doing something stupid.
This was something everyone could sense. When they would announce that they were accomplices of the rapists, their life would end.
It was a frightening thought, and without wasting another second, the soldiers followed Felia’s command. They left Dilan’s base, with conflicted thoughts.
Who was right, and who was wrong in this situation?
Was killing the soldiers really the right choice after attempted ****?
Would they kill their own people for becoming accomplices of a rapist, and for betraying their group?
The jury was still out on this, but Dilan believed that he had done the right thing, even if others may not necessarily agree with him.
‘Everyone will think twice, thrice, and if possible, even more often before they dare to do something like that. Even if they fear me, that is fine as long as I can prevent a repeat of today’s incident!
