Chapter 55 Showtime

Xavier paid the two veiled members of Walpurgis, who were preparing to attack, no heed and turned to Eulene.

"I will take care of this." The red smile on his face widened and glowed brighter than ever. "It has been decades since I last 'had fun'." The masked Xavier turned back to the opponents.

Eulene understood exactly what he meant. It has been decades since he entered this crazed state.

The moon and the stars filled the hall with natural silver light.

A whirlwind surrounded the shorter veiled man while spikes of ice formed around the taller member.

Eulene, still levitating in the air, hovered a few paces back- giving Xavier all the space he needs.

Xavier stood steady in the air, silently inviting their attacks.

The Walpurgis members released their attacks. Several blades of winds and icy javelins bulleted towards Xavier.

Xavier remained in his place. The projectiles made of wind and ice touched Xavier's outfit, but the moment they did- they began to disintegrate. It created the illusion that all of the attacks were absorbed by him.

But in reality, Xavier just cancelled the attacks with his higher level Aeromancy and Hydromancy.

The two opponents gave each other a glance. How was that possible?

Xavier snapped his fingers. The exact number of ice spikes and wind blades formed around him in an instant and shot towards the enemies.

The two members were battle hardened. A wall of ice suddenly manifested before the duo, while a mid sized tornado began to gyrate at breakneck speed in front of the wall.

But before the wind blades and the cold projectiles could be hindered by the tornado, the tornado suddenly disappeared. The ice wall also disappeared in an instant- melting to a puddle before vaporising into the air.

The Walpurgis duo were completely exposed to the attacks, and in shock. The projectiles launched by Xavier were inches away from them and they had no time to dodge.

The experienced kinetics took a foetal position and covered their vitals, bracing for impact.

But the shock and pain from being hit with sharp projectiles never came. With confusion and trepidation, they straightened their stances and turned to the masked 'gentleman'.

Their entire body was shaking from the recent exchange. They could have died. The enemy was extremely powerful, way beyond their leagues.

The shorter member spoke, "You are not a kinetic! But a Paranormal!"

"A being that defies the laws of physics," Xavier said. "Thank you for the compliment." He touched his chest with his hand to gesture his appreciation.

The bandana wearing member was thinking of a way to apologise and get out of this mess. A paranormal or not, the opponent was undoubtedly someone they could not mess with. The man just returned their own spells to them. Moreover, he could also nullify defensive spells. Fighting against him would be nothing but suicide.

But his taller comrade had other plans. He gritted his teeth and and stepped forward. "Just you wait!" He spouted with anger. "Walpurgis will hunt you down! You have no idea what we can do!"

That idiot! The other Walpurgis member cursed in his mind. But there was still hope. He felt no killing intent from their enemies. Hence, he stepped forward to apologise.

But before he could say something, Xavier turned to him and snapped his fingers. The taller member suddenly grew silent and rose a few inches above the ground.

"Have you ever seen magic tricks?" Xavier asked the unscathed veiled member- the shorter one wearing a bandana.

"Ye- yes…" he replied. Seeing his comrade silently suspending in the air, trying to escape the grasp, he felt he had no choice but to honestly answer his question.

"Do you like them?"

"Ye… yes."

"Have you ever seen a human getting minced into pieces?" Xavier continued with his questions.

"No…" He didn't like where this was going. He gave his comrade a glance before turning back to Xavier. "Please forgive us. We will stop everything we are doing and leave. And we will not speak a word of you."

"What's the hurry?" Xavier asked. "You can leave after you watch this trick of mine." He raised his hand and prepared to sharp his fingers before turning to the trapped member.

The shorter man turned to his comrade as well- with fear.

Xavier snapped his finger.

In a moment, the trapped member was split into hundreds of pieces. The cubic pieces- completely exposing all the blood sliced innards- separated from each other and suspended in the air.

The Walpurgis member who witnessed the scene felt his heart stop while his legs grew weak. No sound came out from his mouth.

Even Eulene, who was spectating from a distance felt a chill down her spine. She had lived for more than 200 years, but in a month of meeting that bastard, she witnessed so many things for the first time.

But one thing baffled her. She did not feel any killing intent from him. How can someone kill without showing any killing intent? And how can someone hide his killing intent from her to this extent?

However, after a couple of seconds, her questions were answered.

Xavier snapped his fingers again.

The hundreds of cubic pieces of the poor man's body reattached and the invisible grasp on him disappeared.

The Walpurgis member fell on his limbs- shaking.

The spectating member subconsciously took a few dozen steps back. How was this possible? How can someone who was cut into hundreds of pieces be alive?

Moments later, the impatient Walpurgis member hugged his own body and began to roll on the ground- screaming. The pain signals from being cut into pieces finally reached his brain.

His agonising screams messed with his comrade's weakened heart. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

"Did you like the trick?" That cursed voice reached the frightened Walpurgis member's ears.

He subconsciously turned to Xavier. The devilish bloody smile on the pitch black mask struck his battered heart even harder.

Nevertheless, he nodded hard like a pecking chicken.

"Thank you," Xavier gestured. "The show is over."

"You can leave."
