"Search for the intruder!" the fat clown's voice ordered but the crowd seemed very reluctant in that idea.
"Invisible State." I murmured before I turned completely unseen. Running at the entrance of the tent, I grabbed my daggers then said, "Raven Walker." loud screams erupted from the villagers. Blood was everywhere... On my face and arms, on my Striker outfit, on the walls... It made me look like a true serial killer.
Seeing the clowns huddling together at the stage, I couldn't help but chuckle softly. Their reply was to whimper. It seems that they heard me chuckling."W-who are you? Show yourself! We're not afraid whoever you are!"
"Especially if your enemy's invisible." I said loudly before laughing sadistically. The ringmaster gulped hard and went back huddling in the nearest corner with his friends. Seeing them cry and plead for help is extremely amusing for me. "Don't be afraid... You still have a few more minutes to breathe... " the invisible spell was finally finished and my whole form was shown in front of them. "I'm sure you all know who I am..." I said, looking at them harshly.
Their white eyes widened in shock. There was a glint of mercy in their eyes but it looks like it doesn't have any effect on me. I glared at them. Harsh, cold, no mercy... "L-Lass?" the female clown asked. "P-please, don't hurt us... We're-"
"Sorry?" I said, finishing her sentence and receiving a nod from her. I grinned happily in a mocking way before laughing like a maniac. "Sorry means nothing to me. Because you treated me without any mercy. And this time," their purple faces turned completely white as I pointed the tips of my claws at their direction. "I'll treat you without any mercy. Just to be fair." a fake smile formed on my lips.
"B-but Lass, that was before. I mean, the three of us can treat you like our little brother right now. R-right?" there was a chorus of 'yes' from the two other clowns. "So please, have mercy."
"Mercy is nothing if you yourself mean the same thing before." I said harshly to them and they shrunk in fear. "Don't be afraid of me... I'm just a hopeless person..." a smile formed on my face as I kneeled in front of them. They smiled a little then stood up from their area. "before." they stopped moving. "Do you know what I'm thinking now?" I asked, slowly walking towards them, making them tremble in fear. "I want to kill the three of you... Your harsh treatment never ceases to show themselves every night. Punching me without any mercy, throwing my small body on the floor and wall like a broken toy... All of it... They're always appearing inside my mind... to tell me that I should kill you once and for all."
Not stopping on my tracks, I grabbed my katana out of its sheath and received a multiple merciful words from them. "Aww, I'm depressed. So depressed. Today is our reunion and I'm very sad that you three are afraid of me, especially when I made you three a gift." I acted as if I'm really sad. Placing the blade inside its case, I bowed my head in a depressed manner. "Don't you even want to know what I made for the three of you?"
I heard the clowns' footsteps. They walked towards me then asked 'What'. They suddenly shrunk in fear when they saw me grinning mercilessly. "Three freshly dug graves for the 'nicest' people in the whole Bermesiah Country." suddenly, the door itself was shut closed. Loud screams erupted from the clowns as they scattered around the whole place. I smirked then mumbled Invisible State again, walking towards my first victim: the ringmaster. "Come out come out wherever you are~... because I'm out for blood..." the man noticed my voice was nearing him. He curled up into a tight ball while screaming 'Someone help me!'
"Too late..." I said then his eyes stared at my cold cerulean ones. "Venom Slicer..." a dummy appeared in front of me as a large purple circle wrapped the three of us. I took that chance to slash every inch of the dummy, resulting to ultimate pain for the ringmaster. 5 seconds of slashing the dummy, it disappeared in a puff of smoke. I stared at the man in front of me. His eyes very wide as every part of his body fell on the ground. A pool of blood was formed where the pieces of his body lay. Another loud scream erupted from the two remaining clowns. The second victim: the female clown.
"Someone help us!" the woman screamed while huddling closer to the other clown. "Lass please have mercy!" While she continued begging for mercy, I slowly took my katana out of its sheath and approached her slowly.
...
The door suddenly opened, revealing the large clown carrying a hammer. "The female told me you foul-mouthed her." he said coldly as his eyes stared at me the same way.
I looked at him, shocked. I never foul-mouthed every single person here. "N-no... That's not true... I never foul-mouthed a female..." my eyes looked at him pleadingly. I wasn't even doing anything to her and I was going to be accused of foul-mouthing? They really are heartless...
His reply was to grab me on the collar. I groan at the pain my neck was receiving. "Reasoning eh? Then I should give you something you deserve." a punch on my stomach.
My body fell on the ground, blood leaking at the corner of my lips. I curled up into a tight ball, trying to endure the pain on my stomach. Small tears came out at the corner of my eyes. I heard the door being locked again before everything went black. I'm nearing death... Just a little more time to endure...
...
"And you still have the nerve to accuse me of foul-mouthing you before?" I asked angrily, cornering her. "And now you beg me for mercy? You want me to foul-mouth you right now? Or would you rather feel what's the feeling of being slashed into bits on every part of your body instead of a big clown punching you on your stomach!" I shouted, gripping her hair tightly. Tears leaked down her purple cheeks, her small red top hat falling on the ground.
Footsteps warned me that the last clown was approaching to help this girl. Turning my head at the man, I gazed at him then pointed the blade at his direction. "I could throw this blade at your direction right now if you continued approaching us." he suddenly gave a hard gulp then ran away to the farthest corner. I turned my attention at the crying girl. "Not so tough now are you, huh?" a chuckle escaped from my lips as my blood-covered hands grasped her neck tightly, choking her. "Well then why don't you call that bastard over there and tell him I'm hurting you right now? That's even worst that foul-mouth you know."
Her arms placed clutched my arm as well in an attempt to free herself from the lung exploder. I looked at the other clown behind and found him looking at me with hatred in his white eyes. Nonetheless, I feel impressed, knowing the fact that I have them at my mercy. "Since you can't speak well, I guess your minutes of breathing are up." I threw her body at the hard wall. By the time she was gasping for air, I already murmured the words 'Phantom Blade'. She ended up like the ringmaster, body was sliced and diced into pieces.
A plan suddenly began forming inside my mind. Mumbling something in a foreign language, a clone that looks exactly like me appeared in a puff of smoke. After telling him my plan, he disappeared. I turned around, seeing the clown holding a large hammer. "So you're a confident one huh?" I said while walking towards him.
Before he could make a comment, my clone suddenly asked out of nowhere, "But will it last long?" I took that chance to mumble Invisible State. I plan on scaring and confusing him until he goes out of his mind from the terrible fear. I saw him turn back in an attempt to hit me using the hammer but all he ever saw was a blood-covered wall. "Behind you..." another turn.
"No, I'm here..." he turned right.
"Here you stupid..." he turned behind.
"Are you blind or something?" he paused for a second then gripped his hammer really tight.
"Here..."
"Not there, over here..."
For the whole 30 minutes, we continued to torment the clown. It wasn't long when the clown fall on the floor on his knees. "Stop this! Please kill me now!" he shouted, throwing away his hammer. I smirked, it was the exact words I said when I was still a child.
"Pardon but, I said those also when I was a child. But what did you do?" I took that chance to graze his skin using my claw. "You didn't do what I said... So now, it's your fate to die here. Slowly." me and my clone continued to graze him, until he was weakening from blood loss. I watched his effort to stand up, only to result in falling down again. My clone appeared beside me then disappeared in a puff of smoke."I guess you just waited for me to grow to get what it's like to taste my revenge..." blood was seeping through his deep wounds, which made me chuckle in a deep, low voice. "This is the end..." I mumbled 'Ultimate Blade' before my claws grazed him deeply, tearing apart his flesh into several pieces just like what I desired to happen. Crimson red blood was dripping from my weapons, my blue Striker outfit dyed in nothing but blood.
"Rest in pieces... bastards..." I mumbled, panting. I used too much mana. Using three powerful skills in a short amount of time really drained me. I might stay on bed for 2-3 days to regain back my strength. I was about to open the sealed door with a single punch when I heard someone crying. Recalling their victim, I searched him outside the tent.
Finally, a small figure of a little girl, boring topaz orbs that shone in the bright moonlight and black hair that ends on her chest, was curled up in a tight ball, her back leaning on the broken generator. She stopped crying for a second to look at my sapphire orbs. Instantly, terror was written on her face. "You're... the killer! Please don't kill me!" tears gushed down her face as she curled up into a tight ball again.
A sigh escaped from my lips as I knelt in front of her, the blood on my hands staining her black hair. "Don't worry. I won't kill you. Because I'm also their victim years ago." she gasped and raised her tear-stained face. Sapphire irises looked at her topaz eyes without any expression. "I only plan on killing the people who had been very harsh to me when I was still a child." without any more comments, I stood up and walked away from the child.
My eyes blinked in surprise when I felt her small arms encircle my waist. "M-may I... c-come to your pl-place...? Sir...?" her voice was quivering in fear. It was the very first time someone addressed me as 'Sir', and I couldn't accept that kind of fact. I don't like it when someone calls me these kinds of formals, especially when their reason is because of my deep voice.
"No formals ok? I'm only around 13 years old." I could have chuckled from my statement. "And of course, you can come with me. We'll take care of you." the girl gasped in surprise. She stopped crying and looked at me again. I gave a small smile before nodding.
"Th-thank you..." she mumbled before collapsing on the ground. She must've been really tired from all those acts. I scooped her on my arms then ran away from the place. This'll be the first night wherein she'll sleep in a peaceful place, without anyone bothering to wake her up and receive multiple beatings.
Now that the clowns are dead, I can finally live a peaceful life with the chase. No more nightmares about clowns and circus that'll leave me sweaty and gasping for air. But it doesn't change the fact that I'll change into a sociable person. No, the zipper on my mouth will remain. I'm comfortable when I'm all alone by myself, and I'm used to boredom. Not to mention, I'm very relaxed whenever Arme talks to me.
I looked at the moon's position. It's already 4:00 dawn. The skies are turning dark blue already. I better hurry up before the Chase sees me enters the mansion with blood-covered clothes.
