Chapter 213 Dark Flames

Finished

He handed over whatever he’d stolen from ordinary residents as tribute, and in return, the people above looked the other way. They even gave him extra slack.

The people paying the price were always the ordinary residents.

Robin had no interest in causing a scene. She said, flatly, “I’m just passing through.”

She turned to leave.

There was no way Chase was going to let her walk away.

He flew into a rage. “Where did this little bitch come from? You’re ignoring me? You ended up in a place like this, and you’re still pretending to be above it?

“Clearly, you don’t understand how we do things around here. Let me teach you.”

He waved a hand, and his lackeys rushed in.

A girl this fresh…

They hadn’t seen anyone like her in Outerville of Redwood Military Base, not once.

Grab her now, and once Chase got bored with her, maybe he’d let them have a turn.

The thought sent a ripple of greed through the lot of them.

Chase himself wore a look of pure swagger.

He stood there like a brick wall, arms folded across his chest.

Robin’s eyes narrowed. Something ice–cold flashed through them. “You’re asking to die…”

In that case, none of them could be left alive.

This was Outerville. A few dead bodies wouldn’t make much difference to anyone.

The lackeys never even caught her movement.

All they registered was a sudden blur in front of them, a brutally cold sensation slicing across their throats, and before they could even feel the pain, warm blood was spraying out in front of them. Only then did they clap their hands to their necks in horror.

By then, it was too late.

Blood poured out, soaking through their collars. They opened their mouths like they wanted to say something, but all they could do was stare in shock as their strength left them and they collapsed to the ground.

In under a minute, pools of dark blood were crawling across the alley floor.

You… who are you?”

Chase stared at the scene and he could barely believe what his eyes were showing him.

His men…. were dead?

All of them. Dead.

He hadn’t even been able to see what this woman did to them.

“I… I was wrong, everything I said, I was just running my mouth. I didn’t mean any of it…

“Please, I’m begging you, let me go, I swear I won’t ever-”

The heavy iron smell of blood saturated the air. Chase’s voice was shaking. The shock of what he’d just watched had gutted him.

He was technically a strength ability user himself, but he had gotten lucky early in the apocalypse and made it to the base quickly. After settling in here, he’d basically stopped going out to scavenge.

He had an ability, and he’d barely ever used it. He was all bark and no bite.

Drip. Drip…

A faint trickling sound broke the silence.

A dark stain was spreading down the front of Chase’s pants.

Robin’s brow drew together in disgust. He had actually pissed himself.

Chase dropped to his knees with a thud. “I swear I won’t do it again. I was out of line, please, spare me this once. A young women shouldn’t be doing things this ugly…”

“Since you’ve already seen my face, there’s no reason for me to keep you alive.”

Robin walked toward him step by step. Only then did Chase see what was in her hand–a blade made of pale blue ice, condensed out of nothing.

She was an ability user, too.

And an ice–type, at that.

His breath caught as it hit him: this time, he had run face–first into a stone wall.

But it was the line that came next that broke him.

“You… you didn’t even cover your face. We’re this close, there’s no way I wouldn’t have seen it anyway!”

“Is that right?”

Robin gave him a slow smile. “So what I’m saying is, you have to die”

Chase’s eyes went wide with horror.

Chapter 214 Dark Flames

Finished

The next second, a flash of blue light passed in front of him. Robin’s hand rose and fell in one clean motion, her expression touched. When she turned away, the ice blade was already gone.

Chase clutched his own throat. Blood was spraying out of him like a fountain.

The uncrowned brute of Outerville had died, just like that, in the middle of a night like any other.

Robin took two steps away, then felt a drag on her foot.

Her brow drew together. “Forgot about you.”

Blue light gathered in her palm. She was about to finish it when the man on the ground forced a few desperate words out. “I–I’m an ability user. I can be useful.”

The blue light in her hand dimmed.

Robin’s eyes narrowed slightly. “An ability user?”

An ability user, reduced to this?

With enormous effort, the man curled his fingers. A tiny dark shape flickered for half a second above his palm, then disappeared–he was too badly hurt to hold it.

But in that single instant, Robin saw it clearly.

If she wasn’t mistaken, that tiny bit of black just now… looked like fire.
