[10 Experience Points will be granted for every opponent killed.]
’Only ten? They must be weak then.
Anya stepped out of her hiding place and unleashed a terribly loud scream, so loud that it fractured the bones in her own jaws. The Ethisians, unaware of this terrible form of punishment, lost their sense of hearing and were pushed back by the soundwaves alone. Their ears started to bleed out, causing them to quickly block them with their fingers.
"Don’t let your ears bleed any further. The blood mutant will drain your body of all the blood you possess!!" Not focusing on what was in front of them, the Ethisians found themselves falling victim to Grim’s attacks that decimated and destroyed their bodies. Using Ace and Anya as a distraction, Grim moved swiftly and quickly towards the Ethisians and struck them mightily, however, the Granian didn’t go for the kill but rather inflicted large wounds for Ace and Anya to take over.
[Blood Drain Skill: Activated.]
Jumping out from his hiding place, Ace stretched out both his hands and began to collect as much of the Ethisians blood as he possibly could. Anya would quickly intervene and stun them with a series of loud screams, preventing them from recovering and regenerating in time.
"NOW!!" Ace shouted, sectioning the collected blood between himself and Anya. Together, the two of them created massive, twenty-inch-long blood projectiles and fired them at the Ethisians. Knowing that their scales were too tough to simply break through, the two blood mutants deduced that constantly hitting them with heavy materials would eventually weaken and shatter.
’It’s working.’ Ace grinned as he shot three more blood projectiles. The Ethisian’s front scales began to break, exposing their soft bodies. As soon as the opening was made, Ace and Anya reverted to smaller, sharper attacks, quickly using them to damage and deliver deadly killer moves.
[Blood Sprint: Activated.]
Moving quickly and swiftly, both Ace and Anya got close enough to the Ethisians and simply touched their hearts with their fists folded. This was a new move Anya taught Ace a few moments ago. With their fists folded, they’d be able to apply pressure to the heart and stop it from pumping. This would create an extremely painful attack that would kill their opponents quickly and gruesomely.
[New Skill Learned: Pulse Breaker.]
[Description: The Pulse Breaker incorporates the Blood Control Skill and Blood Coagulations Skill, allowing the user to stop their opponent’s heart with nothing but a simple touch. This can also be used to cause clots on any part of the body, provided it has a blood supply system.]
The two blood mutants exercised their new skill on the Ethisians and watched them fall to the ground while pressing their hands on their chests. The gruesome pain, and blocked hearts, caused their blood vessels to swell and eventually pop. Their head and body holes bled out. Their scales spewed with large amounts of blood. Their mouths became blood waterfalls as the Ethisians looked into the eyes of the two blood mutants before them
’T-two...t-two of them!!’ One of the Ethisians thought as its life essence slowly drained from its body. ’There are two of them? The Granians went back to that wretched planet....even a-after they were... forbidden from doing so!!"
"You seem like you have something you wish to say." Grim glared at the Ethisian, sensing the shock and surprise essence emanating from the Ethisian. "Speak now, it’ll be the last noble thing you say before you die."
"You broke the law, Grim." The Ethisian painfully spoke, its eyes glaring angrily at Grim. "Your kind...were b-banned from..." Not letting it finish its words, Grim slushed the head off of the Ethisian without giving it a second thought.

"These Ethisians were barely a challenge." Ace spoke to Grim, slightly shocked that the Ethisians he just fought was not even a challenge. "It felt so easy killing them."
"These are the lowest ranked Ethisians." Grim said while using hit feet to roll over their bodies. "You are making a compelling argument. This all feels too easy."
A feeling of uneasiness consumed Grim’s thoughts, prompting him to find out whether the others were having it as easy as he was. "Huntress, One Horn. Have either of you made contact with the Ethisians?"
"That’s what we wanted to talk to you about." Huntress, Cherry, Skyler, One Horn, and Jim all approached Grim with bewildered facial expressions on their faces. "We haven’t encountered any serious Ethisians at all. We thought there would be many but the ones we found were...too easy to kill."
"It could be a trap." One Horn added while trying to deduce just what exactly the Ethisians were planning.
"You’re not wrong about that." Jim added as he saw how similar this scenario was back on Earth. "On our planet, if we wanted to trick our enemy, we’d send out the weakest forces or use the weakest war materials while saving the best for last. If my hunch is correct, the more serious threats must be within the building."
"Well since that’s the case," Huntress shouted while throwing her ring blade through the mirrors of the buildings. "I’ll see all of you inside. Come on, Skyler. You’re coming with me." The female Granian lifted Skyler on her back and leaped into the building as recklessly as she could, even though Grim ordered them to be as subtle as possible.
Since there was no need to be as quiet, One Horn and Jim followed, then Cherry, Anya, and Ace came in last. Grim, on the other hand, remained outside. The short, quick, and extremely easy encounter they just had did not sit with him too well for his liking. He rather remained outside and studied the Ethisians, hoping to find out why it was too easy.
"In all my years of battling the Ethisians, a fight has never been this quick and easy." He said while flipping their bodies over. As soon as he did, he noticed something oddly unsettling. So unsettling that it caused him to jump away from them.
"GET OUT OF THE BUILDING, NOW!!!" Grim ordered as he shielded his body. The dead corpses before him were clones and more so, they were loaded with intoxicating explosives. Sadly for Grim, by the time he noticed it, it was too late to save the others who jumped in without thinking.
