Level 2 Iai Slash

Richard, who had used Flash to leave, didn't continue attacking the nearby Mutant Agents. Instead, he flashed to the outer edge of the encirclement.

Before plundering Inessa's Flash, his Flash distance was only about a hundred meters.

Now, his Flash distance was over five hundred meters.

Looking at the number alone, a Flash distance of over five hundred meters wasn't particularly far.

But for general combat, this Flash distance was completely sufficient.

After flashing to the outer edge of the encirclement, Richard didn't hesitate. He raised the Masamune in his left hand and casually swiped.

Zanshin!

As the Masamune fell, six crescent-shaped sword qi formed by Magic Power flew out from the blade of the Masamune, rapidly shooting towards the Special Forces Members in front of him.

Although these Special Forces Members were carefully selected by the Department of Mutant Affairs from the United States military.

In front of Mutants who were skilled in combat, they were no different from ordinary people who hadn't undergone any military training.

Let alone Richard, even Sabretooth, as long as he could get close to them, could easily harvest their lives.

The crescent-shaped "sword qi," purple on the outside and white on the inside, arrived in front of these Special Forces Members in the blink of an eye. Like cutting through a cream cake, it easily sliced through their bodies, turning them into pieces of varying sizes.

After upgrading to Level 2, the crescent-shaped sword qi produced by Zanshin was not only faster in flight but also had stronger cutting power.

The bulletproof vests on the Special Forces Members were no different from paper in front of the crescent-shaped sword qi.

With just one move of Zanshin, Richard killed six Special Forces Members.

After killing these six Special Forces Members, he once again used Flash and disappeared.

For him, who could skillfully use Flash in combat, constantly using Flash to defeat opponents one by one was the most suitable tactic.

Soon, gunshots and screams echoed from various corners of the RV Camp.

Although the mission required killing all Mutant Agents in the RV Camp, Richard was not in a hurry to deal with these Mutant Agents.

The system's mission time limit was 1 hour, and he planned to clear out these Special Forces Members first, and then slowly deal with the Mutant Agents.

This way, he could also avoid these Special Forces Members shooting at him from a distance while he was fighting the Mutant Agents.

Clear out the small fry first, then deal with the elite monsters, and finally the boss battle! Although he wasn't playing a game right now, it didn't affect him using this tactic.

After hearing the continuous gunshots from various corners of the RV Camp, Aiden and Belt and the others guessed Richard's purpose.

However, guessing was one thing, but it didn't mean they currently had the ability to stop Richard from killing these Special Forces Members.

Flash was indeed not a particularly rare X-Gene Superpower.

But the problem was, none of them knew how to use it.

To be precise, in the Los Angeles Division of the Department of Mutant Affairs, there were only two Mutants who could use Flash.

One was Inessa, who had already been killed by Richard, and the other was the Division Head of the Los Angeles Division.

Although none of them could use Flash, Aiden and Belt had already guessed that Richard would use Flash to defeat them one by one.

Without any hesitation, Aiden immediately said to the agents guarding Sabretooth and Clarice, "Bring those two over!"

Hearing his words, Sabretooth and Clarice were immediately brought before him.

Then, he grabbed Sabretooth's shoulder and said to Clarice:

"Tell Richard Wesley to stop, or I'll burn your adopted father to death immediately!"

At first, Aiden and the others were not very clear about the relationship between Clarice and Sabretooth.

Although Sabretooth had been on the Department of Mutant Affairs' wanted list for a long time.

But the intelligence department of the Department of Mutant Affairs had never known that Sabretooth had adopted Clarice.

To be precise, if Sabretooth hadn't happened to appear in the video filmed by a restaurant customer, Aiden and the others would have had no idea that Sabretooth had come to California.

After speaking, Aiden immediately summoned flames, letting the flames cover his right hand.

Sizzle sizzle...

Sabretooth's shoulder was being scorched by the flames summoned by Aiden, making a sizzling sound like roasting meat.

If the person being scorched by the flames right now wasn't Sabretooth, but someone else, they would definitely be letting out tragic howls by now.

But Sabretooth proved with his actions what a true tough guy was.

Although there was a strong burning pain in his shoulder, Sabretooth not only didn't scream, but also had a look of disdain on his face.

Just as Clarice couldn't bear to see Sabretooth continue to be tortured and was about to speak as Aiden instructed, Sabretooth's voice rang out.

"You call these little flames a threat? The fire I use to light my cigar is bigger than yours!"

Sabretooth mocked Aiden with a face full of disdain.

After hearing Sabretooth's mockery, Aiden, who was already in a bad mood, immediately said, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as the words fell, the flames scorching Sabretooth roared and expanded, changing from scorching his right shoulder to scorching his entire chest.

Just as the flames were spreading towards Sabretooth's neck and legs, Aiden suddenly remembered something and dispersed the flames on Sabretooth.

"Trying to provoke me into burning off the collar around your neck?"

"Stop dreaming!"

"With this collar on, you're just an old dog!"

With that, Aiden kicked Sabretooth, who had severe burns on his chest and shoulders, to the ground. His gaze fell on Clarice's face.

"Your foster father is burned, you don't speak."

"Your own face is burned, I don't believe you still won't speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aiden raised his right hand, and a small flame appeared on his index finger.

Just as he was about to use the flame on his right index finger to force Clarice to speak, Richard's voice came from about twenty meters behind him.

"Threatening an underage little girl with disfigurement, are everyone in the Department of Mutant Affairs scumbags like you?"

Although only a short ten seconds had passed, this time was enough for him to kill the surrounding special forces members one by one.

Aiden ignored Richard's taunt and summoned a fist-sized fireball with his right hand.

"Throw away the knife in your hand, or I'll kill her immediately!"

Hearing Aiden's threat, Richard smiled and shook his head.

He saw him switch the Masamune to his right hand, gripping the handle in a reverse grip. He walked towards Aiden unhurriedly, as if taking a stroll.

Although his speed was slow, both Aiden and Belt immediately became fully alert.

As Richard walked towards Aiden, he said calmly:

"Counting this time, I've only met her twice."

"Throwing away my weapon for someone I've only met twice, I can't do such a stupid thing."

"If you want to kill her, then hurry up and do it, don't waste everyone's time!"

What? Hearing his words, whether it was Aiden and Belt, or Clarice and Sabretooth, all showed surprised expressions.

Although he didn't know if Richard was playing psychological tactics with him, Aiden didn't waste brain cells thinking about this problem.

Seeing that Richard didn't intend to throw away the ridiculously long Masamune in his hand, he decisively raised his right hand, preparing to attack Clarice with the fireball floating on his right hand.

However, at this moment, Richard, who was walking towards him, instantly disappeared.

Flash?

Seeing Richard disappear, Aiden and the others all thought he had used Flash.

However, that was not the case.

What Richard was using now was not Flash, but Iai Slash.

To be precise, it was Level 2 Iai Slash.

In the game, Sephiroth's Iai Slash was the aerial version of Zanshin.

But the Iai Slash given by the system was different from the one in the game.

Iai Slash: Charges forward like a teleport, slaying enemies in front with lightning speed.

After testing, Richard found that the Iai Slash in the Sephiroth Template was very similar to Vergil's Rapid Iai.

If there had to be a difference, it was that Vergil's Rapid Iai was a true instant draw from the sheath.

As for the Iai Slash he currently possessed, since there was no sheath, he just needed to hold the sword in a reverse grip.

Whoosh! Just as Belt and the others were observing their surroundings vigilantly, guarding against Richard suddenly appearing and attacking them, Aiden, who was standing in front of Clarice, fell to the ground with a thud.

Aiden's right hand was severed at the root, his head detached from his neck, flying high while spraying blood.

And Richard, holding the Masamune in his left hand, appeared behind Aiden's corpse.
