Chapter 332: Fighting Thirteenth King
Ryder took his first step on the roof. He had already killed the terrorist he had caught since he didn"t need him anymore.
As he stepped on the roof, he was stunned to find people already standing there.
At some distance, he saw a man standing at the edge of the roof. The man was wearing a mask.
Near the helicopter, Ryder saw five black-clothed men standing.
Everyone was looking at Ryder, and no one said a single word as if they were more busy trying to observe Ryder.
"You"re from the Uprising, I a.s.sume?" Ryder inquired casually as he took another step forward.
"I must say I"m not happy. I was hoping to see you at least shocked," the masked man muttered in a grim tone.
"Why would I be shocked? You guys are from the Uprising; if you couldn"t even track me after all this, you would"ve been too useless. I"m standing at your previous base after all, and we talked over the phone," Ryder replied as he rolled his eyes.
He didn"t bother with anything as he walked over to the edge of the roof.
He looked at the burning city.
" Now that you"re here, can you tell me one thing? Why did you guys do it?" Ryder inquired. "What do you guys get by destroying the city and by killing people?"
"What do we get? Do we need to get something? Watching people cry in pain, the chaos, and the destruction, it all feels so amazing. It gives such satisfaction when we watch people burn, cities destroyed. It"s not as satisfactory as killing them with my own hands and watching life slowly leaving their body, but it"s not bad," the masked man said.
" You"re a psychopath, you know?" Ryder muttered as he sighed.
The masked man looked at Ryder and didn"t say anything.
Ryder abruptly closed his eyes and clenched his teeth to stop himself from making a noise as he felt heart-wrenching pain. His left arm fell down on the ground, cut from his soldiers.
"Are you satisfied now?" Ryder inquired as he saw his arm on the ground and blood falling from his shoulders.
"You"re boring. Not even a single noise," the masked man let out in a disappointed tone.
The same thing happened to Ryder"s right arm. His right arm was also cut.
Ryder kept his mouth closed and didn"t let out a single noise. He didn"t want the man to get the satisfaction he needed.
He did seem surprised, though.
"How are they doing it? I thought the people from Uprising only had strength, resources, and the power to not die? But this? None of them got closer to me. I didn"t even see anyone move. How did they harm me?" Ryder was confused about how his arms were cut.
The masked man walked closer to Ryder, but he stood still as he saw arms grow out of Ryder"s shoulders. In no time, Ryder was in his perfect condition.
It was Ryder"s Second Power, the Ruler of Nature. It gave him an Extraordinary heading. He could heal himself even if the wound were deadly. Even though this power had limitations on usage, it was still incredible.
"Amazing. Such incredible healing," the Masked Man muttered.
"There"s no doubt about it. You"re the Undying Little Hero," the masked man let out as he laughed out loud.
"Since we already established that, let"s have a little more fun," he let out as he started walking towards Ryder.
"That"s enough fun for you. You would need to work a little harder if you want more," Ryder muttered as he took a step forward and jumped down.
While Ryder was falling down the roof, he opened his inventory and brought two guns out. Each of his hands had a gun now.
"Let"s see how well you handle the pain," Ryder let out as he started flying up.
He had just started flying towards when he saw the masked man coming towards him. The masked man had jumped down as well, after Ryder.
"Is he crazy?" Ryder muttered as he moved away so that the masked man didn"t hit him. He wanted to watch the man fall flat on the ground.
The Masked Man continued falling down and soon reached the same level as Ryder, but he didn"t stop falling.
He looked towards Ryder. He was surprised to see him flying.
"The more I see, the more surprised I get. Let me see everything you have, little guy," he muttered as he grinned.
Ryder saw that smile on the man"s face and felt like something was wrong.
"Urgh!" he let out a pained noise as both his legs were cut.
"This freaking b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Ryder cursed out loud as he started shooting towards the man who was already falling down.
He didn"t know why, but no Bullets were hitting the man. It seemed as if the bullets were chanting their direction whenever they got near him. All the bullets missed him.
The masked man landed on the ground. A deep crater appeared on the ground as he landed on the ground. Even after falling from the eighteenth floor, the man was standing comfortably as if he had jumped from a height of a few centimeters.
The man raised his head as he looked at Ryder. Ryder"s legs fell near him. He stepped forward and stomped on Ryder"s legs as he gave a hearty laughter.
"This is fun. I"m going to enjoy it," the man muttered as he laughed.
Ryder stayed mid-air as he waited for his legs to heal.
"I guess this was what Ja.n.u.s said when he talked about me having low chances of saving people," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
"It"s because of these people being involved. It seems to be impossible to defeat them. I don"t even know what freaking powers they actually have. If it weren"t for my Nature of Healing, I would"ve been dead multiple times already. When I go to the building, I can"t stop anything if these people are guarding the place," he let out as he frowned.
"I need to find their weakness. I need to know everything about them that I could. Even if I can"t save anyone and let the events take place as last time, it would still be good to know about enemies that are this strong. I have a feeling that even if I don"t do anything, one day, we"ll still face each other. It"s better to be prepared and know everything while I can," He muttered as he looked towards the sky with a frown on his face.
