Lord of Annihilation

Lucius stared at the bald man beneath his feet. After learning about the location the crystal was sent to, Lucius immediately made his way there. Coming to the location, a large warehouse was found. Looking around and finding no public security bots and seeing that it was far away enough from the public eye, Lucius did not bother with the soft approach and raised hell.

He walked right in and killed anyone who stood in his way or tried to stop him. Knowing that mere guards would not be able to answer his questions, Lucius did not bother wasting time , asking questions and killed his way to meet the boss of this place.

Having noticed the ruckus caused by Lucius, the boss had called for reinforcements and had holed up in his office. Still the presence of a few more men armed with weapons could not delay Lucius in any manner or form

Simply drawing his soul power outside his body, a reddish-black haze manifested around Lucius. This was one of the passive abilities of [Killer]. Killing Intent!

Killing Intent took the form of a reddish-black cloud surrounding Lucius body. It had the ability to induce Fear into the people who looked at Lucius. The more Lucius kills, the more Killing Intent manifests around Lucius. While this requires cultivation and a large amount of death to be caused by the user before manifesting, Lucius having his soul transported over, could simply skip this step.

In the entire universe, no one could have possibly killed more than Lucius.

Of course that being said, he did not release the full extent of his killing intent. His soul was currently, only in Stage 1 and releasing more than what it could bear, will dissipate his soul.

Still, the released amount was already more than enough to deal with these few people. Upon placing their eyes upon him, they simply froze. Lucius the proceeded to clean up all of them, reinforcements included. This due to their final struggle, things got a little messy.

Finally getting his hands on the bald man, who happened to be the boss Lucius began his investigation. The man happened to be unusually tight-lipped and refused to talk. Lucius thus had to resort to crueler means.

He first cut apart the the man's skin and slowly sunk into his dermis. Cutting him apart one place at at time, Lucius also used his soul power to enhance the man's sense of pain while preserving his consciousness. He also took careful care to avoid major blood loss and other such complications which could possibly threaten the bald man's life.

Without stopping to hear his pleas or noticing his struggles, Lucius continued to break every bone in his body starting from his toes to all the way up to his head. He also stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth, as his screams were getting a little annoying. His work was practiced and smooth. One could even call it an artform. Lucius skill with the blade and his careful understanding of the human body, surpassed even machines.

The sight of a young man performing such a gruesome task with a nonchalant look on his face was simply unnerving!

Finally after being done with his careful task, Lucius removed the rag from his mouth and asked him.

"So are you going to tell me now? Or do you want to go for another round."

He then continued to speak in absolute indifference, "Although, I don't think your body will last long enough to survive another round."

The bald man's mouth leaked some incoherent noises. Lucius leaned closer to his mouth, to try to hear it in greater detail. Still, what he heard was a random mumble of noises. Lucius furrowed his brows for a second and then suddenly realized.

'Oops I guess I cut too deeply into his vocal organs.'

Lucius put his hand on top of the bald man's throat and infused his soul power into his body. The man who had long come to the conclusion that this young man in front of him was a devil. rejoiced at the thought to dying. Yet suddenly he felt shocked.

A cool sensation started flowing in his throat areas and inside his mouth. The immense sense of pain that he had been feeling, was completely suppressed and his vocal faculties were slowly restored. This was simply to shocking and unscientific!

"Wha-wha? What did you...!" the man finally spoke in an audible tongue.

"Shut up, unless you wanna go another round," Lucius interrupted him. Seeing the man's face pale and immediately stop talking, Lucius continued, "Yesterday, did you receive a dark gold crystal. Answer 'Yes' or 'No'."

"Yes." the bald man immediately spoke.

"Where is it?" Lucius continued inquiring.

The man hesitated for a second, he then took a deep breath, that sent a sharp influx of pain into his body. Resigning himself to his fate, he spoke "A dark-gold crystal that gave off light pulses of light came in yesterday. Upon seeing it, one of my contact immediately bought it. It's with that customer now."contemporary romance

While the man was talking, Lucius carefully watched his tone and mental fluctuations with an emotionless face. Although the man was mentally broken after undergoing Lucius torture, the possibility that he may lie, still existed within Lucius' mind.

'He's not lying.' Lucius concluded.

He then proceeded to question him, "Who was this customer?"

"Alex Hellwig." the man replied.

Hearing his answer Lucius did not say anything and simply cut the man's head, ending his prolonged suffering.

He then let out a sigh and spoke, "See it wasn't that hard was it. You could have simply told this at the very beginning and saved both of us the time and effort." Saying so to himself Lucius shook his head.

He slowly got up from his crouched position and dusted the dust of his body. He then silently walked towards the corner of the room and came in front of a mirror and washbasin. Lucius slowly washed his hands and cleaned the blood of it.

Staring at his reflection in the mirror Lucius thought to himself, 'Alex Hellwig. huh?'

Wiping his hands on the towel that was nearby Lucius turned around and walked towards the main desk inside the room. Lucius then checked the records and verified the bald man's words. Proceeding to wipe out all the video recordings from the time of his arrival here. Lucius walked out of the warehouse.

Making turns to check for any pursuers, Lucius started to make his way towards the academy.

'Things just got a little complicated.'
