"In that case, once I cut off your limbs, I'll enjoy these two beauties."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Hiyama's brow furrowed, and his eyes turned incredibly cold.
Those familiar with him knew he was already enraged.
"You had a path to heaven but chose not to take it…"
"What? It seems you still don't understand the situation. Soon I'll make you tremble and beg…"
He hadn't finished speaking when he felt a chill on his wrist.
Looking closely, his arm had fallen to the ground right before his eyes!
"Wah wah wah! My right hand! (My King's Power!!!)"
The squad leader knelt on the ground, clutching his wrist and crying out.
"Captain!"
"Captain, are you alright!"
"Where's the healer! Quickly, get a healer over here!"
The Empire Soldiers behind him panicked when they saw their captain inexplicably lose an arm.
"Holy Light, please heal the pain before me!"
A healer in a white robe quickly stepped forward and chanted.
Pure white holy light shone down, but the severed arm remained unchanged, and the squad leader's painful wails continued unabated.
"What is going on!?"
The healer's eyes widened, dumbfounded.
The arm had just been severed; logically, it should be reattached through healing magic.
Moreover, let alone reattaching the arm, even the squad leader's mangled wound was still bleeding profusely, with no sign of healing whatsoever!
The healer's face stiffened; he was truly helpless in this situation.
At this moment, a voice drifted over from a distance: "Don't bother, his hand can never be reattached in this lifetime."
The healer involuntarily looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Hiyama holding a long sword, speaking very calmly.
Chapter 44: Heart Control!
It seems very likely that the captain's arm was cut off by him with this sword!
"It must be him, he's the one who cut off the captain's arm!"
"This… How did he do it!? We're still more than ten meters away from him!"
"And why can't the healer heal the wound!"
The Empire Soldiers panicked; facing such an utterly incomprehensible situation, anyone would be scared.
They didn't notice that Hiyama's pupils had turned a deep blue, a mesmerizing and beautiful color.
Countless graffiti-like lines crisscrossed, connecting to everyone and everything in front of him.
"You still remember what he just said, right?"
Hiyama swung the sword in his hand, though it only cut through the air in front of him.
Crack!
Under the squad leader's shocked gaze, his left arm also bid him farewell.
Direct Death Magic Eye, the highest-grade "Rainbow" Magic Eye in the Type-Moon world. The target whose "death line" is cut experiences "death" conceptually, the very result of "death."
Irreversible, unchangeable.
How could the healing magic of this world possibly contend with such a causality weapon?
"Quick! Quickly help me kill him!" The squad leader finally found the culprit, his face contorted with pain.
He certainly remembered what he had just said, which only made him more afraid.
He feared that if this continued, the man before him would probably reduce him to a "human stick."
The Empire Soldiers, who were still unclear about the situation, habitually acted swiftly upon hearing the command.
"Kill him!"
"Begin chanting!"
After all, this squad was an elite unit of the Empire and was not terrified by Hiyama's mysterious attack methods.
Instead, they organized the vanguard soldiers to charge while the rear-guard soldiers activated their respective magic circle and began chanting spells.
However, a silver figure suddenly rushed into the vanguard's ranks, brandishing a white katana and slaughtering indiscriminately. Even the heavily armored Empire Soldiers could not withstand her single strike.
"Dark flames churn, burn my foes, turn them to ash and return them to the earth…" Seeing the critical situation, several mages quickly began casting a combined spell.
Although this spell had a slightly long casting time, once released, its power would multiply!
But they had only just begun chanting.
"Crimson Spear!"
"Icefall!"
'Storm Emperor!'
The Vampire Princess with golden-red eyes lightly tapped her slender finger, uttering words filled with magic.
Spells suddenly formed in the air, raining down like a furious storm upon these mages!
Before long, this elite imperial legion was utterly routed, their armor discarded, and corpses strewn everywhere!
"Miss 2B's strength is terrifying! Is she the embodiment of the God of Death!"
"I think Miss Yue is even more terrifying; she can cast so many powerful spells without even chanting!"
"It's clearly Hiyama-sama who's more terrifying. How exactly did he attack that squad leader? And did you see, even the healer couldn't heal the wound!"
As soon as the battle began, the naturally timid Rabbit People had already found a large rock to hide behind, and then they started discussing who was more "terrifying."
"Shea, where did you find them exactly?" The patriarch stared dumbfounded as Hiyama and the others slaughtered the imperial squad like chopping melons and vegetables.
He felt an immense shock in his heart.
"If I said I picked them up on the road, Father, would you believe me?" Shea swallowed, her voice trembling slightly.
She hadn't expected Hiyama and the others to be so terrifying!
After the slaughter,
Amidst the splashing blood, the one who survived to the end was surprisingly the squad leader, who collapsed onto the ground in despair.
This was understandable, as his companions had been annihilated in an instant.
In truth, these people were by no means weak; they were elite individuals whom no one would dare dispute calling high-ranking soldiers.
The squad leader vaguely wondered if he was having a nightmare, but the intense pain from both his arms constantly reminded him.
This was reality.
Until he heard a voice, a voice so calm and unruffled that it was hard to imagine it belonged to the perpetrator of this tragedy.
"Hmm, the strength of humans in this world and the gap with monsters are a bit large…."
Hiyama assessed the situation and found that even the weakest monsters from the bottom of the abyss could easily wipe out this group of soldiers.
The squad leader tremblingly raised his timid eyes to Hiyama, only to see Hiyama leisurely strolling through the corpses of the Empire Soldiers, walking towards him.
"No! Don't! Don't kill me!"
This squad leader was very fond of his life; even without two arms, he could still crawl on the ground like an insect.
He wanted to escape this God of Death.
[Option One completed, acquired Legendary Magic "Heart Control"!]
Perhaps the system determined that there were no more creatures threatening the Rabbit People on the scene, so it immediately gave out the reward.
[Heart Control: From Blood Lad, the user needs to meet the condition of "attribute value exceeding the opponent's by more than three times" to activate this magic. Consumes a small amount of magic power, allows free control over the target's heart!]
The reason this magic, despite its powerful effect, was only rated as legendary was probably due to this restrictive condition.
But for Hiyama, it posed no problem at all.
The limit of normal human stats in this world is 100 to 200, while those with a Divine Occupation are 300 to 400. Due to racial characteristics, the limit for some Demonoids and Demi-Humans is 300 to 600.
Amanogawa Kouki, as a Hero, has a limit of 1500 for all stats. Even without considering factors that can increase stats through special skills, the gap between this and Hiyama's all-stats-over-ten-thousand is nearly tenfold!
Therefore, Hiyama can actually use this magic on all humans in this world.

Chapter 45: She's Mine!
The squad leader's head was stomped on by Hiyama, and driven by a strong will to survive, he couldn't help but beg for mercy again.
"P-Please! Don't kill me! I-I'll do anything! Please!"
"Is that so? Then can you die?"
"Ah!?"
"Heart Control!"
Hiyama's hand clenched in the void, and a tangible sensation of grasping something emerged in his hand.
It was a living heart, constantly throbbing in his hand!
At the same time, the squad leader felt an abnormal sense of suffocation in his chest, and his eyes bulged like a frog's, as if his heart was being squeezed by a large hand, utterly terrifying!
"Don't…"
Bang!
Before the words of surrender could be uttered, a sound like a balloon popping came, and the squad leader's eyes instantly lost their color.
He spat out a large amount of blood and fell to the ground.
The Rabbit People secretly watching from the side immediately held their breath. In their eyes, Hiyama's way of treating his own kind was too merciless.
Even those who had one last breath and were desperately begging for mercy were to be exterminated; he was simply a cold-blooded executioner!
Shea cautiously asked, "C-Couldn't you have spared him just now…?"
The Rabbit People behind her were also whispering, presumably sharing her thoughts.
Hiyama, however, was surprised, looking at Shea with an expression that said, "I knew you were foolish, but I didn't expect you to be this foolish."
Shea understood his gaze and couldn't help but cry out in fright, "Ugh!"
The Rabbit People truly lived up to their reputation as a cowardly and peace-loving race, capable of feeling sympathy even for those who killed their own kind or intended to enslave them.
They were simply beyond salvation.
"Aren't you all too naive?" Yue spoke first before Hiyama could even open his mouth.
"They already drew their swords against us, and when they found out the other party was stronger, they immediately tried to beg for mercy and ask to be let go. Can such a good thing exist in this world?"
"Th-That is…"
"Furthermore, you are currently just passively accepting Darling's protection; you have no right to say such things!"
"…"
The Rabbit People were left speechless by her words.
"We are truly sorry, Hiyama-sama. We don't have any objections towards you; we are just not used to this kind of conflict… so we were a bit startled."
"Hiyama-sama, we apologize!"
