After about 30 minutes of continuous screaming, Matthew stood up and looked beneath him casually.
There, a corpse lay dead, with a quantity of strange fluids pouring out of his body and a twisted face with deep wounds. His body, at this point, was devoid of bones. Not even teeth remained.
Still, the indifference that surrounded Matthewâs face was almost palpable.
He had never tortured someone to this extent of breaking every single thing on their body without breaking limbs. At this point, the body looked like a strange jelly, but Matthew didnât care.
He looked up at a building and let out a snort. "You enjoy watching me torture your disciple. You are interesting scum." He spoke.
At that moment, two identical people appeared in that building.
Matthew had sensed them the moment they arrived. Although they were amazingly good at hiding their presence, it was hard to hide from Matthewâs perception at this moment.
They smiled at the same time. "Vampire, you were so good at torturing people that even we had to admire what you were doing. Youâre an artist at this, so itâs no wonder the organization is looking for you. Why donât you join us? Youâll be able to make art more often." Said one of them, and they moved to Matthewâs front in one motion.
Matthew smirked. "Art, huh?" He said and continued. "Certainly, people who have come out of that city are unusual and strange. Not only were they born a pair of twins of opposite races, but they see torturing as an art."
They both frowned. "You donât think itâs art? You seemed to enjoy it."
"Enjoying torturing a bastard who hurt my little treasure, thatâs a normal thing to do. And that doesnât mean itâs art."
Both twins frowned even more but sighed. "Youâre complicated. If you enjoy something, it can be art if you want it to be. But I guess your concept of art is another. Iâd really like to know what art is to someone as good as you, but it wonât be possible. We are hungry, can you give us that body?
If itâs boneless, itâs easier to bite into."
Matthew was a little surprised to hear this and watched them point to the man who was technically the disciple of both of them. âThey want to eat him? These guys...â
To say they were weird was an understatement. He looked at them once more and destroyed one of the legs of the body, causing a stream of blood to spurt out of it. Both twins smiled a little. "If you take the blood away, itâll taste better." Said they.
Matthew even felt disgusted by those guysâ words, but he didnât care about these peopleâs weird fetishes. He swung one of his legs and kicked the corpse hard, sending it towards them.
They smiled a little, and one of them reached up to grab it. Suddenly, a sudden movement occurred when the other one, who did not raise his hand, moved a dagger to cut the corpse into pieces of the same size, in all directions.
But, just then, Matthew smiled and disappeared from where he was, appearing before the one who had just swung that dagger. He felt interested in this guyâs skill, but first, he wanted to test how his power was against two such powerhouses.
Therefore, he threw a tremendous blow toward this guyâs chest. He didnât expect it but still managed to move his hand to stop part of the attack. Even so, he was pushed backward abruptly at the same time as the pile of flesh fell to the ground.
Matthew quickly moved to the other side and put his hand near the other guy, exploding a huge fireball between them. That sent that guy roughly to the other side.
The one with the dagger looked up and smiled, "You finally want to fight, little guy. Although the data they gave us is totally wrong, Iâd like to see how good you are. Why put so much effort into you? Hehe, thatâs funny." L-Je said.
He moved abruptly to where Matthew was, and his dagger jumped behind Matt, attacking him simultaneously.
Matthew smiled and froze the dagger attacking him from behind while preparing to take the hit from the guy in front of him. Still, suddenly, he heard a screeching sound, making him frown.
âThe ice is breaking... What an amazing ability, itâs practically independent.â But, though he frowned, he did not turn away.
He knew that the dagger would soon break his ice, so, without thinking, he drew his sword and jumped towards where the guy attacking him was coming from. His sudden movement and the surge of his power were unexpected, even for L-Je, who was pushed back sharply and hit the building behind him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even so, the dagger he wielded still flew rapidly towards Matthew after breaking the ice. Matthew, after hitting L-Je, jumped back and looked up.
There, the dagger crossed his vision. If he had not moved, his throat would have been slit without hesitation. This dagger practically broke the space in front of him and suddenly struck him sharply, several times.
Matthew had to attack a measly dagger for this, and the dagger only struck at Matthewâs attacks, but the attack was staggeringly powerful. âShit.â He ended up being pushed roughly to the ground, briefly helpless.
There, he saw something absurd.
âWhat the hell is that?â
A huge fireball hovered above him as if it were a sun. It was being pushed by a man with three other fireballs surrounding him.
It was fire magic but with tremendous power and unreal speed. Practically, in a matter of seconds, Matthew was engulfed by it. He was forced to freeze time where he was and then passed through this enormous magic.
He was already in front of the mage in a moment and managed to land 20 clean hits before a sudden explosion sent him flying backward.
He frowned. âToo powerful. How much power is this?â Even though his power was over 130,000 with his sword, a mage practically pushed him back.
A mage!
At him, an Assassin.
That alone proved that the amount of power was too powerful.

Still, he suddenly saw where that guy was and realized what had happened.
âDid he explode the magic around him to escape of the frozen time?â he thought. The fireballs that used to surround him were no longer there, and the ball on the ground left a huge crater without him noticing.
But that tactic seemed a bit familiar... He remembered exploding his fire to drive that guy away just a moment ago.
âDoes it have something to do with it?â he thought.
But soon frowned. He sensed something strange around him. And he looked up at the man standing there.
Then he looked to the right. The feeling he had made him shiver...
âFrozen Time!?â
âImpossible!â
Yes, he had been locked in his own ability.
