MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 48: Clement

Space could be seen bending and reforming as someone suddenly appeared in place.

This person opened his eyes and looked around and everywhere was dark but he could see because of his physique.

His eyes brows furrowed because of what he sensed in the atmosphere.

He sensed utter Chaos in the environment, which only meant one thing here.

He arrived at the territory of the Demon race.

Clement didnʼt understand why the Academy would raise demons in a secret realm.

This goes against everything that they have been taught that demons should be killed on sight.

”I guess they are trying to make us fight demons early, and not be in shock when we see one, well itʼs not like all the students in the secret realm will meet a demon” Clement said as he looked around

HIs physique was jubliating as soon as he arrived here.

Not because of the Chaos in the air but because of the dread that was present that gave off death presence, which was in tune with his physique which was the Death physique.

He looked around and saw his surrounding, he was in a dark forest that not even a string of light could pierce through the canopy of darkness, but it didnʼt matter to him at all as night or day made no difference at all.

As he was about to take a step after checking where he arrived, he suddenly crouched and turned and sliced at the direction he turned to.

*THUD*

A head and a body dropped to the ground and Clement looked at it with an expressionless face while saying with the calmest demeanor

”It seems even the monster here are corrupted from the presence of Chaos, well not that it matters much, they die same way”.

As Clement ran, he didnʼt drop his guard at all, unlike other assassin who had high agility and speed but less strength therefore needing sneak attacks, such a rule didnʼt apply to holder of the Death physique, as his physique already possessed terrifying strength not worthy of an assassin, which was even further strengthened by the fruit he ate given by Anthony.

As Clement ran, he sensed something and came to a stop and looked around.

****Grrrrrrrrrr****

A bunch of demonic wolves surrounded him, like as if they were closing up any escape route.

The wolf king was a B rank beast while the rest were within the C rank to D rank.

The wolf king roared issuing and attack command on Clement.

As they ran to bite and claw at Clement, he didnʼt even react, as this fast wolves were no different than standing still to him.

When the first one arrived he simply sidestepped and slashed out, decapitating it with a clean cut.

Another clawed from the side, but Clement just settled the matter with a slap to the death.

They all moved with insane precision even in the dark forest as all beast and monsters here possess dark vision.

As they all moved at once, Clement sighed as this childʼs play these beast were performing then just increased his speed and moved around in a series blur sending out perfect slashes at the perfect spot, killing them all.

Then the wolf king, a B rank beast made itʼs move by suddenly jumping out of Clementʼs shadow and slashed at his back immediately he was done with the rest of the pack.

But at last, it was destined to join itʼs subordinate as Clement didnʼt even block as he was too lazy to do so.

He just tanked it and as the beast touched him, it simply corroded to death.

This was one of Clementʼs ability from the physique, he calls it the ʼDeath Touchʼ.

Touching him with no permission is no different than a death guarantee, as long as the power gap wasnʼt too much all he needed to do was to touch you and off you are to your maker.

The best part of all this was, he could choose your death time and how you die, he could simply touch you in the morning and then activate it in the afternoon by thinking of your head exploding and you will die there and then.

Clement called this ʼDeath Markʼ because he has marked you for death and there would be no redemption for this.

This was simply a balance breaking ability, with only let down being that the power difference canʼt be too much if he wants to use it on a higher power.

If not, he canʼt even activate it at all even if he tries all he could

There was no better assassination ability than this, even you looked through the blue planet.

Of course Anthony forbade him from abusing this ability, if not Clement wonʼt gain any experience at all from a fight.

As Clement moved he still met a lot of demonic beast as they were all corrupted, he simpled just killed them all with a wave of his dagger.

As he moved, he came to a halt and looked at a particular direction, there seems to be nothing there but Clement didnʼt move his eyes and just waited.

”Hooooo...what an interesting human, to think you could see me, all others who came are usually blind because of the chaos and immediately flee once they land here, but you are different, you fought back and even advanced to this place, and you could even see me on top of that, what an interesting human you are” as the voice sounded.

A mist gathered and formed a demon, as it sat happily on a tree with a smile.

This was a genuine demon, not like the demonic beast that were only born because they stayed in the forest and merged with the chaos present in the air.

The demon was muscular, with bright red eyes like that of a Vampire, a single horn coming out from the middle of his forehead.

Two wings hanging from the back as a tail swirled behind it.

”Whatʼs your name human, we donʼt get much humans around here like other places do, well donʼt worry I wonʼt kill you off immediately, you will have to play with me as a toy before you all escape like you usually do”

Of course the demons were not stupid, they knew that the Academy was using them to raise their students.

They always tried to kill the students but they always suddenly disappear immediately they fall into trouble.

The demons in the realm have sought and thought of ways to combat this but nothing seems to work.

So they could only play with any human that came until they escape, of course this is until they find a solution to stop them.

Clement didnʼt bother replying, he appeared Infront of the demon stabbed his dagger in itʼs heart, with speed and precision required of an assassin, as assassins donʼt talk, they just stab you to death and leave no trace.

The demon had a shocked look on itʼs face as it didnʼt expect the human to be this fast or even daring to make a move.

The demon died as a result of talking too much on the battlefield.

Others may have entertained him, but not Clement who always had less to say in anything.

He stored the demon corpse in his ring like he did with demonic beast he killed before and continued moving like nothing happened.

...

In another side of the dark forest, a demon more sinister than the one Clement just killed smiled as he saw Clement kill his subordinate like it was an ant.

”It seems an interesting one has finally arrived huh, maybe I can be less bored today” said the demon with a smile, as he saw Clement through the eyes of his subordinate he killed.

Then the demon looked in another direction where something similar was happening but it still didnʼt make a move, yet.
