Chapter 32- Capture

“Look! Isn’t that it, our target?” said Dean with his eyes sparkling. Watching the B rank monster Steel back gorilla sleeping on top of a sycamore tree. Its skin is made of the toughest metal that even A rank warriors have a tough time hurting them. Steel back gorillas are known for their aggressive behaviour and their speed, especially when they are fighting in a forest where there are lots of trees.

“Let’s go and say hello. Maybe it will invite us home for some tea.” Grin Vectre.

“Hopefully the gorilla has biscuits to go with tea.” Said Dean while licking his lips.

“Oh yeah. Most definitely.” Said Vectre sarcastically.

“HEY MONKEY! CAN WE COME OVER FOR SOME TEA AND BISCUITS! I’M FEELING RATHER PECKISH!” shouts Dean.

The Steel back gorilla not expecting any visitors to come interrupt his nap, was startled and began to lose its balance and fell of the sycamore tree.

It growled in rage as it picked himself up and glared at the two boys. It snarled showing his two elongated fangs. It paw the ground with its hind legs, using the ground as friction, it bent both its knees like a spring and charge forward claws first.

Vectre merely smirked. “Spell Book: Barrier. Activate.” Chanted Vectre. 

Immediately a transparent barrier surrounded Vectre and Dean, stopping the Steel back gorilla in its tracks, as it found itself unable to damage the sturdy barrier in front of him.

Dean then claps his hand excitedly, grinning at the Gorilla.

“Wow! Look at how huge this guy is. Oh and those fangs, yikes. It looks sharp and pointy.” Said Dean in awe.

The steel back gorilla, enrage at being underestimated especially by two children, smash the compact barrier repeatedly, over and over again.

“Dean, stand back a bit. I want to try something.” Grinned Vectre mischievously.

‘Hmm! Let’s see now. First concentrate and gather the mana into a single point; that would be my index finger. Then keep gathering until you feel that it’s enough, then fire it like you would firing a gun.’

After ten minutes of trying. Something finally happened. Vectre’s index finger started shimmering, the mana was slowly gathering into a single point, circulating around his finger.

Feeling that the gathered mana was enough, Vectre got rid of the barrier separating them from the raging ape. The steel back gorilla thinking that the barrier that he destroyed the barrier, grinned from ear to ear and howled as it begun to charge once more. 

Vectre pointed his glowing finger filled with charge mana. “Spirit Gun: Mana Edition.” He shouted before firing the gathered mana into the direction of the charging ape.

A massive beam of light shot out of Vectre’s index finger and hit the steel back gorilla. The Steel back gorilla screamed as it was hit by Vectres attack.

Dean look shock as he saw the gorilla disintegrated. The beam went through the monster, tearing the earth, trees and anything in its path. 

“Oops!” said Vectre apologetically, as he saw the massive gash on the ground and the destroyed trees. ‘I did not expect that it would do so much damage!’ thought Vectre. Genuinely surprise at the spell that he created. Given that it was derive from the anime ‘Yu yu Hakusho’.

“Where’s the monster gone?” ask Dean, looking around, looking for the monsters corpse.

Vectre scratch his head wryly. Whistling innocently while looking at the beautiful blue sky.

“Aww man! Now we can’t get paid. We don’t have the monster core for evidence that we defeated the steel back gorilla.” Sigh Dean, disappointed that he won’t getting the promised 10,000 points.

“I did all the work anyway. It’s not like you did anything.” Laugh Vectre.

“But still. Those points could have been mine.” Cried Dean.

“Well too bad.” Said Vectre, unfazed by his friend’s antics.

Vectre suddenly sense the presence of twenty people heading their way. 

‘What’s going on? Could it just be a coincidence that they’re heading this way?’ ask Vectre to himself. His senses alert.

“Dean. Get ready. Twenty people are coming over here. Judging by their aura, all of them are at least A rank warriors.” Warned Vectre.

His body tense and ready, to cast any defensive spells, if the twenty come with ill intent.

One by one, they arrive silently, surrounding the two boys from all side. They wore black clothing, that covered their entire body and face, save for the eyes. 

‘They look like Ninja’s.’ thought Vectre, observing their every movement, with his enhanced eyes sight.

“Boss! Which one of them is Vectre!” cackled one of them.

“It doesn’t matter! Capture both of them!” ordered a man with a deep sinister voice.

“I don’t know what you guys want, or who sent you but you won’t live long enough to regret it.” Said Vectre coldly.

“Attack!” 

Twenty people simultaneously attack Vectre and Dean.

Vectre snorted coldly. “King’s Domain: Freeze.” He chanted.

Instantly the whole area was enveloped. In this space, Vectre was the king. No one would be able to harm him.

“WHAT’S GOING ON?!!!” They all cried out in panicked.

Vectre laugh coldly. “Who sent you.” He asked. 

“DAMN IT! I CAN’T MOVE!!” the twenty people, struggled to escape the invisible chains, preventing them from moving. Some of them were even stranded mid-air. 

“Answer my question!” barked Vectre loudly.

“HEHEHE you brat! You got us good, we didn’t expect you to be this strong. Damn you Judas, you didn’t tell us about this.” The sinister voice cursed loudly accepting his fate.

“Kill us. Don’t waste your time, you won’t be able to get anything from us.”

“We’ll see.” Said Vectre coldheartedly. 

Vectre took out a nano machine of out his body. Ordered it to replicate.

“Enter their body and enhance there pain receptors. So they feel pain a million times more than normal.” Ordered Vectre.

The twenty attackers eyes grew wide, some of them started shaking as they stared at the replicating nano machine, hovering above them. At once, the nano machines, started entering their body, and began enhancing their pain receptors.

The attackers gritted their teeth in pain, and braced themselves for the torture of their lives.

Vectre smirked. “Spell Book: Electrically field.” Chanted Vectre.

Electric field was a weak area of effect spell. At most it would only give you a slight shock, it’s painful but the pain is mostly tolerable. But for the twenty attackers, they would feel the pain a million times more than usual. This would be enough, to break even the toughest man in any world.

Not being able to die, but feel the worst imaginable pain.

They didn’t even last a minute as all of them began to beg for their death. They want this inhumane torture to be over.

Dean close his eyes and covered his ears. He was frightened of the current Vectre. Unfeeling and void of emotion. The ruthlessness in his eyes, and endless void of darkness.

“I’ll talk. I’ll talk. JUST STOP THIS!!” the sinister voice cried out.
