Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 234: My Power

Boulder landed his mace on the ground.

The impact happened first and the sound of the impact came later.

For a moment, the mist in front of Boulder was set aside by the force.

Boulder cleared the thick mist just by his brute strength.

And since the mist wasn’t there for a while, Pablo and everyone saw what Boulder did.

The motherfcuker moved the ground below ground level. He destroyed a layer of the ground.

The ground Boulder was standing on was higher than the ground he hammered his mace on.

And not a small part of the ground, a big part of the ground descended down.

"Are you sure you held back?" Pablo asked.

Boulder smiled. "I did."

’High dukes are crazy. I should copy his Ego.’

Pablo made up his mind and now that the one layer of the ground was gone along with the thick mist, the things inside the underground were also visible.

The skeletons were lying, with broken bones but no one paid attention to them anymore.

The reason for that was, their infrared glasses finally picked some heat.

Only one sign of heat and it was coming from the ground.

Boulder’s mace brought the rat in the daylight.

"He or she must be the one controlling the skeletons." Boulder said.

"Yeah. He or she was hiding underground. That’s why I asked you to do that. To bring him or her out." Pablo revealed. He didn’t know the gender of the person and he didn’t assume anything as well.

"What the hell?" An unknown voice came. A male voice.

Pablo and the others were only able to see the red and orange color on their glasses and the color was moving.

"It’s a man." Pablo found the gender of the person.

The person recalled what happened to him in a span of some seconds.

He was hugging his knees, hiding in the underground. But then, he felt tremors on the ground, and he panicked.

And the next thing he knew, the ground above him was no more. He was visible now.

He stood up.

The first person he saw was Boulder. A huge man with a huge mace.

"Shit. You bastards! Hey you, kill them!"

The man roared at the skeletons and the skeletons started getting up.

"Alright. He is the Necromancer. That settles it. Kill him." Pablo gave the order.

"Surely." Boulder’s lips curled up.

"Not you. Sir Rower, you kill him." Pablo ordered someone else.

"Why? I am already here. Let me land a blow." Boulder wanted to finish the job.

"You already did enough. You will get to kill more. I want to see how sir Rower does it." Pablo explained his reason.

"Tch. Fine." Boulder accepted. Pablo was the commander after all.

Boulder came back to his previous position and Rower stepped forward.

"Wait." Jamal spoke. It has become his habit now to disrupt Pablo’s orders.

"What?" Pablo asked.

"We shouldn’t kill him. If we interrogate him then he might share inside information about the enemy. The next traps, the hideouts. Anything." Jamal posed an idea.

And after deep thinking for 0.5 seconds, Pablo said :

"No thanks."

"What?" Jamal exclaimed.

"Come on, big brain. We are already going to the village. We will kill everyone. The traps won’t affect us and interrogating this man will only waste time. Think with your brain instead of balls. You only have his name, not his mind." Pablo explained.

"Whose name I have?" Fuhrer Jamal asked.

"Nothing. Just kill him, sir Rower. The mist is coming back." Pablo ordered Rower again.

"Drop the sir. You are the Commander. You are only disrespecting your position by calling us sir." Rower dropped some principles.

"Just kill him." Pablo said the same thing again.

"I will. You want to see my power, right?"

"Yes." Pablo wanted that.

"Don’t blink."

"Wha-"

FISH!

"Here."

Pablo felt something on his hands.

He ran his fingers on it and by his experience, he knew what it was.

"You brought his head?"

Pablo had a head on his palms.

"Yes." Rower said.

He killed the person.

Pablo only saw a streak of light and before he knew it, Rower placed a head on his palms.

Pablo jerked his head towards the necromancer and indeed, Pablo saw the headless silhouette in red.

Rower killed the man and that too, without using his weapon.

’So he has super speed. If I copy Boulder’s and his Ego, I’ll manage the upcoming fights.’

Pablo made some plans. The high dukes were monsters. Pablo was already playing with death by disrespecting Jamal.

But of course, he wasn’t afraid. Death would come to everyone. No point fearing it.

"This head is of no use. It will burn on its own."

Pablo’s suit was already on fire so the head on his hands also caught fire.

And it was the fire of the glory matches so the head incinerated in seconds.

Pablo patted his hands, cleaning the ashes and everyone was finally set to walk again.

"Keep moving. We are in the place where the Vile river used to be. The village is near and only two more traps are left now."

Pablo shared some details and the soldiers thumped their legs.

After that, everyone started their journey once more.

Pablo and Socrates walked in the front and everyone followed them.

Andrezj kept telling everything to Pablo and he also kept searching for any place where his dearest could be.

Cupid, well, she was also there but Pablo only listened to her if she spoke anything important.

Most of the time, she only asked stupid questions.

’Why didn’t you copy their Egoes?’ Like this one.

Pablo sighed. He still gave her an answer. ’Their Egoes are high ranked. I can only keep them for one or two hours. So it’s better if I copy it when I really need it.’

’Oh. Makes sense. Sorry for asking.’

Pablo ignored her by now.

They all walked and they reached…

"It’s a dead end. At least that’s what I see." Andrezj said.

"Stop." Pablo yelled.

Everyone stopped walking.

"What is it now?" Boulder asked.

Pablo asked Cupid.

Cupid answered this time. After all, she was seeing the same thing as Andrezj.

"There is a big wide wall in front of you. It is spanning horizontally and there is no end to it. Its height is too much so you also can’t jump over it."

"And I suggest you not touch it. It might be something bad." Andrezj shared his thoughts as well.

Pablo shared this new information with everyone.

"Then I will just break the wall. Simple as that. We need to move forward after all." Boulder suggested a way.

"Don’t do that, sir. It is more likely someone’s Ego who can transform themselves into a wall. If you touch the wall, then something bad might happen. We are already inside the thick mist and touching the wall might make it spew poison." Socrates said.

"Are you sure it’s not just the second mind trap?" Boulder asked.

"The wall is not a mind trap. But there surely was a trap a few steps before." Socrates revealed.

"What? Why didn’t you tell us then? And what was the trap?" Jamal barked.

"What use would that have done? And also, I didn’t know that we would encounter a wall just after a few steps. The trap I nullified helped us to even see the Wall. Otherwise, that trap would have made this wall invisible and we all would have slammed on it to our deaths." Socrates replied in the same harsh tone.

"Alright. Alright. Calm down first." Rower acted as a cooler.

Pablo liked that. If Rower hadn’t done it, then he would have.

"No need to fight among ourselves. Let the Commander talk." Rower ended the fight. He gave it over to Pablo.

Pablo nodded. He looked at Socrates.

"So you are saying that if we all have fallen in the second trap then we wouldn’t be able to see this wall?"

"Yes. I nullified it that’s why you were able to saw the wall for some reason even in this thick mist." Socrates replied.

"So you can not only nullify traps but also know what a particular trap does?"

"Yes. And you are just wasting your time, Commander. Clear this wall and move forward." Socrates made it clear. He won’t explain anything more.

Pablo got that so he didn’t asked the blind man anything more.

He just looked ahead where he believed the wall was.

"This Wall is an Ego of a person. Boulder can destroy it but there is a risk of a reaction. But someone has to touch it to see. How are we supposed to destroy it without touching it?"

"We shouldn’t have killed that necromancer. Just like I said." Jamal commented. He would not waste any chance to belittle Pablo.

Pablo let out a dry laugh.

If the necromancer was still alive, then they could have made him touch the wall as a test.

"Jamal is right this time. You have to do something, commander." Rower spoke as well. Jamal made a good point.

And after Rower, the other high dukes also joined and they all forced Pablo for an answer.

Pablo knew it won’t be long when the soldiers would also start blaming him, so, to save him that trouble, he came up with a plan.

"Alright." He spoke.

Everyone went silent and Pablo shared what he would do.

"I’ll touch it myself."
