Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 248: Appropriate Name
Pablo let go of Rower’s hand.
"You shall go now. Kill them all."
Rower nodded and vanished. He used his speed and began his killings.
Pablo had some time so he saw the notifications of his system.
[ Ego Successfully Copied! ]
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
[ A little amount of life force taken from the target! ]
[ The Ego rank is Utter Purple. You can only keep it for one hour! ]
’Just show the Ego.’
[ Break Fast : You can now break the rules of being faster. You are faster than fast. You are the Epitome of Speed now. Enjoy. ]
’Nice. To the point description.’
Pablo liked the Ego and he was finally ready to use that.
’Why did you copy an Ego now?’ Cupid asked.
’Because I want it to end fast. And one hour is not that much. This fight will carry on for at least one hour.’
Pablo answered the Angel and Cupid didn’t disturb him after that.
The black and red sword glued on his hand and Pablo took a deep breath.
He leaned forward and Jamal glanced at him.
Along with Jamal, Boulder also paid attention.
"Don’t look at me. Focus on ṭhe fight." Pablo scolded them.
"Are you going to use your Ego?" Jamal asked.
’I already used it.’
"You can say that."
"Then I want to see." Jamal said.
"Me too." Boulder also wanted the same thing.
"Fine." Pablo ignored them but he had one worry.
’I hope they don’t figure out that my and Rower’s Ego is the same.’
Pablo had this worry but he also had to kill the Cannibals.
’Fuck it.’
In the end, Pablo let it go and…
WHOOSH!
He vanished from his spot and sizzled through the Cannibals.
Only Xavier and Rower weren’t interested in Pablo’s Ego but Jamal and Boulder were.
"He is so fast. I didn’t even see him." Boulder remarked.
"It’s just like Rower. Not even a cheap copy. It’s exactly the same." Jamal said.
"Well, there must be something different. Two people can’t have the same Ego. It’s impossible."
Boulder went back to his killing spree and Jamal stared at the moving glint for quite some time.
Then he also stopped caring.
"They are not watching anymore." Cupid said.
’That’s good. As long as they aren’t suspicious.’
Pablo would worry about this stuff later, for now he enjoyed talking with the wind.
His legs were butter and the ground below him was butter as well.
He wasn’t running anymore, he was sliding.
Everything happened around him in slow motion.
He cut down the heads of many Cannibals; they were full of openings. They couldn’t even dodge.
Pablo carried on and as he danced around the enemies, he encountered a familiar person.
The person also saw Pablo and his brows shot up.
"Are you really running side by side with me?" The person asked. He was none other than Rower.
Pablo ran beside him and they were at equal speed.
"I am."
"Impressive. Why were you hiding such a thing?" Rower asked.
"I was waiting for the right time. I can’t use it freely like you."
"Fair enough. Carry on then."
Rower went ahead, leaving Pablo behind.
Pablo would have also increased his speed but that wasn’t a good idea. No need to raise suspicions. He had a White ranked Ego for others and that should not allow him speed near the level of high duke Rower.
Nevertheless, Pablo still rode the wind and killed the Cannibals left and right.
His sword and his Demonite sparked crimson and he had no complaints for that. For Pablo, war is fun.
’This is too easy. They are weak. How did they even start the Blood Fest War?’
Pablo had some questions and fortunately, he met Rower again.
He asked the question with the high duke and Rower gladly answered.
"Their strengths are numbers. Ten years before, it was a war because there were too many of them. Right now, they are not that big in numbers."
"Hmm? Why aren’t they in big numbers this time? This is also a war." Pablo asked one more thing.
"Their population declined, that’s why. There aren’t any females left in their Kingdom. Only males. They use slaves to reproduce but since they are poor, they couldn’t afford slaves as well. That’s why they want other Kingdoms." Rower explained.
"And this Kingdom seemed an easy target to them?"
"Yes. Our Kingdom is closest to theirs and we are not that strong as well according to them. If we don’t have the military we’ll all be dead long before."
"Well, thanks for your time. You can go ahead. Only a few are left."
Rower nodded and moved ahead.
Both men never stopped killing even while talking and Pablo was just having fun.
He never experienced the thrill of moving at super speed and it was exhilarating.
His sword cut through the necks of the Cannibals with no effort as the speed he was at, he could even split a mountain in half.
The soldiers and Socrates also did their best and killed as many as possible.
The other high Dukes were as impressive as ever. Only Jamal didn’t use his Ego but his dual blades were doing the work.
So, like that, after one hour, only one Cannibal remained alive.
Pablo stumbled while running as after one hour, he lost Rower’s Ego.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t needed anymore and the last Cannibal was in front of Pablo.
The man rested on his knees and his eyes remained locked with Pablo.
The soldiers, the high dukes, Socrates, all of them stood behind Pablo. They would let him handle the last Cannibal.
The Cannibal surveyed the scene around him and all he saw were the dead bodies of his comrades. No one was alive.
He then again brought his gaze at Pablo.
"Any last words?" Pablo asked, wiping his sword.
The Cannibal let out a ragged breath and said his last words.
"My name is Lecter."
"Oh." Pablo smiled. "What an appropriate name."
"I know. My mom gave m-"
"I don’t care."
SHRILL!
THUD!
Pablo ran his sword on Lecter’s neck and in no time, his head fell off.
He killed the man mid sentence.
"You could have at least listened to him." Cupid complaint.
Pablo jerked his sword, blood gushed out and his eyes stayed at Lecter’s head.
’I don’t talk during war.’
