When Ainsworth saw the A-rank Crimson Horn Minotaurs gathering near the dimensional gate, he had already completed his preparations as the Guardian’s Sanctuary was already formed.
Using Formless Sharp Blades (SSS), Ainsworth materialized a kitchen knife on his right hand and looked at the humanoid bull meat (minotaurs) covered in a metal can (armors).
With his God-Level Cooking talent, he already knew how to dice them up and several cooking recipes using A-rank Crimson Horn Minotaurs as the main ingredients had already flashed in his mind.
However, Ainsworth shook his head as eating these weaklings wouldn’t improve his strength.
’I have a lot of skills and superpowers I can use so it’s really troublesome to choose which one to use. But first...’
Waving his hand, Ainsworth used countless space-based superpowers to lock the space of the area near the dimensional gate to ensure the Crimson Horn Minotaurs wouldn’t be able to escape.
"I haven’t fought savagely before and since these are just fodders, I might as well try fighting using my fleshy body this time."
After deciding that, Ainsworth used his multitasking superpower and telekinesis superpower to let the kitchen knife in his right hand levitate and float behind him.
He wouldn’t be using his kitchen knife to fight as he planned to beat up the crimson horn minotaurs using his fist. But to ensure he wouldn’t be sneak attacked, he split his mind into two, letting him manipulate the kitchen knife using telekinesis to kill enemies behind him.
Coating his entire body with aura and mana just to prevent their blood from dirtying him, Ainsworth then jumped down from the building with bloodlust in his eyes.
Using Freedom of Movement (SSS), Ainsworth ran in the air as if it was solid ground, heading towards the crimson horn minotaurs below that had already accumulated at more than 200.
Deactivating Unremarkable Presence (SS), Ainsworth no longer hid himself and even used All Eyes On Me (SSS) to taunt them and attract hatred.
Although having all their attention focused on him would feel like a downside, it was an ability suited for close combat and the tank role. After all, the second ability of All Eyes On Me (SSS) increased his defense by 50% and even applied a damage reduction of 30%.
With a defense and damage reduction buff, Ainsworth fearless sprinted towards the crimson horn minotaurs who had also initiated their attack against him.
Several crimson horn minotaurs formed a body bulldozer wall as they leaned their shoulder towards him, charging at him using their Raging Charge skill as they tackled him at supersonic speed.
When they broke the speed of sound, Ainsworth remained fearless as he also leaned his shoulder towards them and met their bulldozer wall-like tackle with his own fleshy body!
When Ainsworth who was only 1.8 meters tall tackled the 3-meter-tall crimson horn minotaurs, the outcome was a one-sided massacre!
Blood and flesh splattered and Ainsworth was unhindered as if he didn’t meet any obstacles or resistance. All the crimson horn minotaurs that tackled him had turned into blood mists as they all were obliterated.
The physical body of an SS-rank Awakener wasn’t just for show as mere A-rank fodders couldn’t harm Ainsworth’s body.
When the crimson horn minotaurs saw him remain unscathed from their attacks, they instinctively shifted to using their huge steel weapons as they tightly gripped their war hammers and war axes, slamming them towards Ainsworth.
In response, Ainsworth laughed, "HAHAHA! Do you all want to dance on this bloody stage?"
Moving his body like that of a phantom, Ainsworth danced around the sharp and blunt steel weapons hammered against him. He managed to evade them by just a few centimeters yet even when the crowded minotaurs left him with little to no area to move, his figure seemed illusory.
Like a ghost, all attacks seemed to pass through his afterimages, leaving the crimson horn minotaurs attacking the air in front of them.
Those crimson horn minotaurs swung their weapons helplessly in the air. Their attacks not even causing any damage to the surroundings as the shockwaves of their attacks were easily absorbed by the seemingly fragile houses and roads.
Just a swing of their war hammers would have already destroyed an entire city and their war axes cutting a city in half. Yet it was all negated by Ainsworth’s Guardian’s Sanctuary, foiling the mastermind’s plan of destroying Edenbridge City.
Nevertheless, their attacks might be useless even when they used Bloodline Resonance to buff themselves up, the crimson horn minotaurs still didn’t give up as they swung their hammers and axes towards Ainsworth.
This time, Ainsworth didn’t dodge their attacks as he punched their steel weapons. When his right fist connected with the war hammer, it bent and then shattered, causing his fist to pass through and punch a hole through the minotaurs.
"So this is what it feels like to punch humanoid creatures into donuts."
Looking at the crimson horn minotaurs who had a large hole punctured through their abdomen, Ainsworth admired the masterpiece he made.
The crimson horn minotaurs’ blood all splattered across the battlefield but when it got to Ainsworth, the mana and aura that coated his body repelled all of it, keeping him neat and clean.
After testing out the power of his physical body, Ainsworth already felt that it was enough as it would take him a lot of time to eliminate the minotaurs if he fought them in close combat.
Knowing that, Ainsworth glared at all of the crimson horn minotaurs and released his Conqueror’s Will!
As soon as he released his Conqueror’s Will, an invisible pressure with him as the center forced all the crimson horn minotaurs onto their knees.
A heavy burden seemed to weigh both on their minds and bodies, as the monster instinct within them made them submit to the human male in front of them. It felt like they encountered someone way superior to them, an apex predator at the top of the hierarchy.
When the crimson horn minotaurs felt such extreme fear for the first time in their lives, they all wanted to flee and return to the Monster World. Even the Monster Lords in the Monster World didn’t bring them this much fear and inferiority.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ainsworth increased the intensity of his Conqueror’s Will to the point that all the crimson horn minotaurs lay on the ground, unable to move even a muscle.
Before they could even perform a last struggle to fight for their lives, Ainsworth infused Ultimate Freedom (SSS) into his words while using Freedom Of Speech as he ordered:
"All of you Crimson Horn Minotaurs should die of a heart attack!"
As if his words had become the law, all the crimson horn minotaurs suffered from heart attack and they all died eventually.
Even when new Crimson Horn Minotaurs arrived and invaded via the SS-rank Dimensional Gate, Ainsworth’s words seemed to linger within the area as they all died helplessly.
Like a death sentence to all the Crimson Horn Minotaur monsters, every minotaur that stepped into Earth’s land within Ainsworth’s range had all suffered from a heart attack. Their corpses piled up near the dimensional gate.
Sitting casually on a golden throne that appeared behind him, Ainsworth chuckled as he watched a crimson horn minotaur recently arrive, unaware of the rule he left, as it moved the corpse of its dead brethren to create a path forward.
Yet in the end, it met the same fate as the corpse it just had moved. That newly arrived crimson horn minotaur suffered from a heart attack and died, and the cycle continued.
Watching the cycle of their death until five hundred corpses littered the ground, Ainsworth felt that the streets had become unsightly with such garbage accumulating so he waved his hand and stored all of them into his system inventory.
His system inventory’s storage space was infinite so he didn’t mind storing their corpses inside it. After all, the corpse of an A-rank monster was quite valuable and it could also be used as proof of him defending the city from the descent of the SS-rank Dimensional Gate.
After cleaning up the streets of five hundred crimson horn minotaur corpses, Ainsworth continued sitting on his throne and letting them repeatedly die from heart attacks.
Feeling that the death rule lingering in the area was about to run out, Ainsworth used Ultimate Freedom and Freedom Of Speech again as he spoke, "Let these crimson horn minotaurs continue dying from heart attacks."
When such words resounded in the streets, the crimson horn minotaurs that invaded kept on dying again. Just a few minutes later, a total of a thousand crimson horn minotaurs had already died.
The power of rule-based abilities was this terrifying and exaggerated. No matter how powerful these A-rank Crimson Horn Minotaurs were, Ainsworth could kill them the same way even if he was still on the same level as them.
After all, they lacked rule-based abilities to counter his own so they were slaughtered one-sidedly.
Witnessing just how powerful he had become, Ainsworth smirked, "It seemed that I truly have become a powerhouse. After this defense mission, my name will resound throughout the world as the youngest SS-rank Awakener genius."
