Chapter 22 - The Terrifying Three

Meanwhile, Tres finally reached the top and walked through the corridors, finding some dead bodies lying on the floor.

"Wow, it looks like there was a party full of carnage here," thought Tres.

Tres then entered the auction room and saw that there was no one there, no bodies, no people. Tres continued forward and noticed that there was a secret passageway under the stage.

Three opened the secret passageway, which revealed some steps. Three went down the steps and reached some corridors that were only lit by torches.

"This must be the place where they kept everything for the auction," thought Three as he walked.

"Please help!" cried a woman.

"Please help us!" cried a crowd of people, crying.

"Damn, they also had slaves to sell as prizes," thought Three, seeing the people locked up.

"Please help us, we're locked up, I just want to go back to my family!" shouted an old man from there.

"Calm down, I'll help you, just wait a moment," said Three as he pulled an axe from under the sleeves of his suit.

Three destroyed the metal bars that had the people locked up with his axe, freed the imprisoned people, and helped them all get out of there, destroying every prison that had a prisoner in it.

Three finished freeing all the people imprisoned there and helped all the people who couldn't get out by giving first aid to the elderly.

"Thank you very much," said a woman in a maid's dress.

"You're welcome," said Tres, blushing a little when he saw her.

"Oh, but if you want, I'll carry you all the way, beautiful," said Tres, flirting as he took her hand while kneeling.

"What chaos you're causing by freeing those people," said an unknown voice.

"You guys sure love to interrupt the good times," said Tres, turning his back.

"Says the one who made a big fuss about freeing those people who were imprisoned," said the voice.

Suddenly, a crowd of people emerged from the darkness, many of them showing their faces, some women, some men, and some muscular.

"Wow, it looks like you brought the whole gang. You all want to fight a single person, you bastards," said Three, laughing.

"It's not being a bastard, it's just intelligence against the enemy," said the man.

"Hey, they're good people, right?" said the woman dressed as a maid.

"You'd better get out of here running with the others, sweetheart," said Tres, getting into position.

"Well, since you're like that, it seems there's no choice but to finish off the witnesses. Don't let any of them escape, understood?" said the man.

"Understood!" shouted everyone else at once.

The prisoners escape and the others go after them, but Three stands in front of them, blocking their path, taking out his axe and holding it in front of one of them.

"I won't let you pass, scum of humanity. You will die here and now. Your corpses won't change the world in any way if I kill you," said Three threateningly.

"Damn bastard," said a man from the group.

"Die, you piece of shit!" shouted another member of the group.

A girl pulls daggers from her pockets and stabs Three, while another hits him hard on the head. Three, stunned, grabs the hand of a man from the group.

Three pulls him by the hand and cuts off his head with his axe. Another member of the group pulls out a shotgun and shoots him, the bullet hitting him in the chest. Three flies backwards from the impact of the bullets.

"Damn, I'm bleeding a lot," thought Three.

"These people are nothing more than henchmen, just pawns," thought Three.

"That guy in the distance must be the real leader of the group. I'm sure he just paid these people to help him," thought Tres, his chest wound now closed and regenerated.

Tres advances, dodging bullets, but is stabbed by the woman from before. Tres grabs her and cuts off her arm with his axe, then another man comes and shoots him in the head.

Three lunges at the guy and rips part of his flesh from his neck with his mouth, ending the guy's life, and with the other, he splits his head in two with his axe.

Another girl cuts his chest and another pierces his body. Three grabs the hand of the one who pierced his body and headbutts her, finishing her off with an axe blow.

Suddenly, he is shot again and a guy cuts off his arm. Three grab him with their other arm and bite his head, tearing off a large chunk of flesh and skull.

But one guy pulls out some grenades and throws them. Everyone else quickly moves away and the grenades explode all over Three. Then another guy throws some Molotov cocktails and burns everything.

The others pull out guns and start shooting everywhere, and finally, one guy pulls out a grenade launcher and fires it, and everything explodes. The fire spreads and burns everything.

"Looks like it's all over," said someone in the group.

"That bastard ended the lives of many of us or left us too badly injured to fight," said another member of the group.

"Well, job done," said a girl from the group, turning her back to leave.

"Yeah, we better go, we've got more to do," said another, leaving.

"Are you leaving already? The game isn't over yet, you fucking assholes," said a voice coming from the spreading fire.

"What the hell, that guy's still alive," said a guy, worried and surprised.

Suddenly, Tres emerged from the fire, his body emaciated, wounded, and in some places even down to the bone.

"How the hell can someone still be alive like that!" shouted a surprised girl.

"The game has only just begun, idiots!" shouted Tres, regenerating his entire body.

Little by little, Tres's body regenerated all the damage and his arm returned. Tres attacked everyone and grabbed the dagger from the girl he killed.

He threw it, and the guy who threw the dagger dodged it, but Tres came from the other side and cut his throat. He grabbed the gun he had and started shooting at the others.

One tries to attack him from behind, Tres takes the damage but catches her and stabs her in the eye with the other dagger. Tres pushes the dagger that the girl had in her eye further in until it reaches her brain.

Another member of the group cuts Tres's shoulder down to his chest, but Tres grabs him, gets behind him, and starts strangling him with his arms until he uses more force and breaks his neck.

Only four people remain in the group. Two of them attack him, one from the front and one from behind. Tres is stabbed, but he grabs the one in front and pokes her eyes with his fingers.

He presses harder until he reaches deeper inside and rips off part of her skull along with flesh. The other one who was behind stabs him in the chest, but Tres doesn't care.

He pulls out the gun that was in his chest and slits the girl's throat. The last two remaining start shooting.

Three runs and takes all the bullets but ignores all the wounds and throws the gun, hitting one of them in the head, while grabbing the other one in front of him by the neck with his hands.

The guy is being suffocated and before he dies, he only sees Three's face, all wounded, regenerating little by little, and the guy dies of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

"Well, it looks like that was the last pawn. There are no more left," said Three.

"Shit, the other one must have left. I suspect it wasn't out of fear. Being a real member, it was obvious that he left only because they don't have much time," thought Three.

"If that's the case, then there's surely something more dangerous they're looking for," thought Three.

"It's surely the imperial artifact, the Kōki number 39, which I don't know much about because I didn't pay much attention to the report," thought Three.

"Shit, I should have paid attention from the beginning," thought Three, frustrated.

"But anyway, now I have to go further down. I won't have much time if I take that into account," said Three, going further down.

Upstairs in the hallway on the fourth floor, Rebecca and Mogi are waiting. Rebecca sees Mogi lying next to an injured person.

But suddenly Mogi gets up, draws his katana, and stands guard over the injured person.

"Akutagawa, what are you doing?" Rebecca shouted.

"You'll have to leave quickly. A strong enemy has arrived. I can feel a threatening power from here," said Mogi.

"I can feel it slowly approaching until it gets here," said Mogi.

"Shit, it's already here. You better hide quickly now!" shouted Mogi.

Rebecca hides behind a large plant, and Mogi waits in front for the enemy to arrive. A girl with long blonde hair arrives.

She has animal ears and something else, but around her waist she wears a belt shaped like a lion, and it is shining.
