Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

In the dimly lit training grounds, Seph swung his creating ripples tearing through the air.

His muscles tensed up, and his grip on the shaft of the spear tightened as he cut through the air and thrust that left several afterimages.

With a deep breath, he unleashed a torrent of swift, precise strikes, each one cutting through the air with a menacing swish.

His body moved with fluid grace, in a dance of lethal motion. With every swing, the sound of metal slicing through space echoed around him, punctuated by the occasional clash as his blade met its invisible foe. Each strike was executed with precision, leaving no room for hesitation or error.

As Seph's training intensified, the surroundings bore observers to his frightening power. The ground beneath him trembled with each forceful step, cracks forming in the earth as if unable to withstand the sheer force of his movements.

Wooden dummies who stood as his practice targets a few meters, splintering into pieces under the relentless assault of his sword.

"More….More….."

An agonized roar of a wounded beast shrieked from his lips as he remembered that dreadful night.

The air crackled with energy as Seph pushed himself to the limit, his movements becoming faster and more ferocious with each passing moment.

The space faintly trembled and invisible ripples spread as if the void was about to be cut.

Feeling that he was being excessive, Seph halted his motion.

By the time Seph finally put down his spear, the training grounds lay in shambles, bearing the marks of his practice.

Sweat glistened on his brow, his chest rising and falling with the exertion of his efforts. With a satisfied nod, a smile formed over his lips.

"Mengqin…"

His image blurred and soon he appeared behind a brown-haired woman.

"AH!"

A soft moan escaped from her lips as Seph caught her by surprise and wrapped his arms.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was getting bored so I came here to look for you and perhaps train with you."Wang Mengqin muttered with a dazzling smile and extended her hands to put them on Seph neck.

"Bored…Didn't you go shopping with Ella?"

"Ella is busy preparing for the wedding while waiting for you."Wang Mengqin laughed and then asked.

"Why are you training with a spear? Weren't you a swordsman?"

Seph expression faltered a bit hearing that question making Wang Mengqin's brows furrowed.

"When I fought with Sophia, I wondered if I could shoot through her flame barrier if I had a spear so I decided to use a spear."

"How is your skill?"

"So..So.."Seph answered with a mischievous smile and he pressed his lips forward.

"What….Umm.."Wang Mengqin was bewildered by the sudden strike, but she still liked it.

Their lips were about to join when a system alarm rang in his mind making Seph flinch back

[Host, the defense of Forest base had been broken. The guards had been dying. There is an unauthorized intrusion.]

"What happened?"Wang Mengqin asked with an angry pout as Seph pulled back.

"We have an intruder invading the base," Seph answered with a smile but his eyes were saying something else.

"Hmmm! So who wants to die there?"Wang Mengqin asked with a haughty smile while stepping back.

"Don't worry. I will take care of the rat. Go and accompany Ella."He caressed her hair.

Seph then looked at his servants and ordered.

Seph's expression turned hideous with an evil smile, "It would be good if a protagonist entered the fray."

.....

"You....What happened to Zion?"Ley blurted out in deep fear.

Instead of answering, Leon's eyes darted toward the head with wide-opened eyes filled with disbelief, it was so shocking for Zion that he didn't even know when and how died.

It was so fast that he couldn't even scream before his lifeline was cut off.

Pausing for a single second, Leon drew a breath for a second. The surrounding temperature started to plunge to freezing cold slowly.

"I will ask once..."

A brief silence prevailed that was broken by the hoarse voice.

"Where is Sophia?"

"That..."Let stuttered for a moment and was about to put on a brave front thinking about his master but before he could speak.

Leon's hands moved like a whip and a line drew in the air.

Ley instincts screamed and he jumped back to evade but before he could even move an inch, a crimson streak flashed, and his right leg crumpled to one knee.

"GAAAHHHHH!"Ley cried out before he could make sense of the situation and another bright golden light flashed severing his right arm from his left shoulder.

"How...Weren't you a Martial Lord in the battle so how are you so strong and fast? It's like you are a Martial Emperor."Ley shouted, biting his lips to suppress his pain.

"Why? Are you surprised…Did you think your master is the only coolest badass m#therfucker alive…"

"Stop wasting time with me and where is Sop…."

"Never mind, I know you won't answer my question and talk about all kinds of rubbish things," Leon muttered nonchalantly, raising his hands.

Ley who was howling in pain suddenly went insane and started cursing.

"Damn you! You don't know who you are messing with. He is Seph Greymore. Not only will he kill you but he will torture you mercilessly. "

"He might have already known and might be coming here."

Extending his remaining left arm, qi started to gather, and in the blink of an eye, it shot forward, and following that Ley started to burn his life span to explode.

'Master, I can only accompany you this long. May you live..."

Ley didn't have time to dwell and spout any more bullshit as the orb of pulsating energy leaving devastation behind that was shot forward was cut by the red line cutting the path of the beam.

His head was sliced off in the same instant as the beam dissipated and a cry of pain erupted from him as a line was drawn on his chest from which blood splattered.

And soon a head burst out going behind.

"No, this time he won't."

His eyes fell on the boxes. Some were alive and breathing while others were dead.

"Clean up.."

The moment the voice fell, many ghosts sprang forward into action.

Leon then stepped over the boxes stuffed with corpses and took a look, he climbed up the stairs and entered the second floor.

"KHUMMM!"

"AHHHH!"

"Ghost…Ghost…"

"What's going on?"

At that time, a few who tried to flee on spotting Leon screamed, "Hey save us."

"Yes, get rid of the menace."

"We are quite valuable so Master Seph would be angry if you don't save us."

Unexpectedly they seemed to have mistaken him for a guard protecting the place.

The ghost chasing after them stopped seeing their Liege and fell back.

Seeing the few mongrels escape trying to run away Leon asked, "What are you researching?"

A look of shock flashed on their faces but noticing now ghostly figure chasing them, one of them sighing in relief muttered, "Don't you know we are researching Super Serum for enhancing human genetics.."

"I see….In that case, just wipe them out from existence."

"WhAAa.."

They didn't even finish their sentence when a cold touch closed their lips and soon, darkness swallowed everything.

Their screams as well as their existence.
