From my position I could see someone being pulled by tentacles and I ran as far as I could, when I was close to the walls of the mansion, thinking I was close to the exit, suddenly a crack opens and hands made of shadows come out of this crack I like my whole body who starts to stiffen with me being petrified, the last thing I know is a childish voice coming out of the shadows.
"No one will escape."
Unbeknownst to the others, I put magic items on his clothes when everyone was still gathered, these magic items serve to detect vitality and absorb small amounts, they don't cause any kind of damage and only serve as a warning.
The item becomes even superficially bonded to the person from whom it absorbs vitality, this means that when the person gets rid of the item it darkens, but if the person dies with the item walking on their body, then it breaks.
This item can be linked to another with a simple magical resonance, with this I was able to see the 34 crystals quickly shattering in a matter of minutes.
I was on top of the roof of a mansion looking at a mansion nearby, nothing seemed to be happening there, I didn't hear any kind of combat noise or light from any magic.
I never approached that place, all I did was point the way to those Assassins, after that, I stayed behind watching from afar to secure the plan.
"Was it her or was it this Vampire?" (I)
"It doesn't matter anymore, you'll be coming with me."
At the same time, I heard a woman's voice behind me, a pain ran through my body and soon my vision darkens.
I sat in the mansion's largest window while Layla was eating her candy off my head.
I had my eyes closed, I was using Sight Runes to see through the shadows without having to use my Aura, this also serves as a Rune training for me.
I saw every single one of the Assassins dying, those who were hunted by Orion died quick deaths, and none of them even realized what was happening until the end.
Those who died for Kira also died fast, as did those who died for Lilian, but those who died in Hinata's ghostly teeth were marked by extreme fear, I felt like I was watching a horror movie.
As might be expected, Elsaris was the boldest, she used potions she must have gotten from Lyra to give her the opportunity to fight head-on if that one-sided massacre can be called a fight.
Three Assassins tried to run but were stopped by my curse around the mansion, now they are dead with their bodies in pieces within the shadows, when I deactivate the curse I will have to get their heads.
Lilian left the mansion as soon as I deactivated the curse while the others came towards me.
Orion came happily towards me holding several bloody heads in his teeth by the hair.
Hinata made her arm stretch as she stuck it inside her mouth to pull one head at a time while lining them up next to each other on the floor.
Elsaris just threw the heads on the floor with a smile on her face, Kira in turn left a bag full of heads on the floor, she took the other residents of the mansion into consideration and did this to avoid showing such a brutal scene.
Shortly afterward Lilian returns carrying an unconscious person with her.
At dawn the next day.
I walk into a restaurant and go calmly to an empty room where I find Jonah and 5 other people.
"I hope I'm not interfering with your meal." (I)
I enter and sit down as the 5 along with Jonah keep their cool while keeping murderous intent in my direction.
"I didn't expect to see you in a few hours after our last date." (Jonah)
"Me neither, imagine my surprise when I arrived at my friend's house only to be surrounded by assassins." (I)
I snap my fingers causing over 30 disembodied heads to be flung from my shadow onto the table, all heads had funny expressions on their faces due to the way they died.
Heads fell on everyone's food, but the people of Jesse place didn't feel fear or disgust at this brutal sight, their murderous intentions towards me only grew bigger, one of them, a thin old Demon had the highest intention to kill.
"I didn't send them, I always keep my share of the deals." (Jonah)
"I know it wasn't you." (I)
Jonah looks at me for a second before turning to the other people at the table, I look at the Old Devil with the most disturbing smile I can muster.
"You know, I don't like people trying to kill me." (I)
"< Blood Curse: Body Ruin >" (I)
"< sound barrier >" (I)
I use a powerful curse that turns blood into an acidic poison, it can only be used on weaker people, much weaker than me, making it useless in a fight, but very useful in a theatrical demonstration of a bloody warning.
I even put a sound barrier around him so as not to hear his final wails, everyone in the room was surprised before standing up with weapons in hand, I also felt this separate room from the restaurant surrounded by people and magic being prepared.
The only one who remained unfazed was Jonah, he had a slight smile on his face as he continued to eat his food.
I used my Aura using only half the fear effect, it made everyone in the room stand where they were without attacking, same as the hidden security guards.
"That was a very firm warning, Mr. Zenos." (Jonah)
"I hope next time I won't need that sort of thing, so don't interfere with me." (I)
"I don't want to do anything in this town, so don't interfere with me." (I)
"I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we're going to stay away from you." (Jonah)
The other 4 look at each other before nodding their heads.
After that I turn around and walk out of the room knowing I've made my point very evident, I hope this saves my time next time by preventing another attack from happening.
