Esper X Family – Chapter 336 – I’m Going on a Killing Spree!

BANG!!!

The deafening sound of shattering wasn’t from a physical explosion.

It was from the very “shell” of the entire space.

The spatial barrier of the Sanctuary, once considered an absolute barrier, was brutally torn apart like paper by an invisible giant hand!

The first to pour in was a violent tempest of mental power!

It was a mental pressure far exceeding the peak of S-rank, capable of crushing souls.

Accompanied by a scorching white light of pure destruction, it instantly filled this dead, silent darkness!

The purple fire trembled violently under the suppression of this overbearing intruder, its flames flickering as if on the verge of extinction!

All the empty chairs groaned under the onslaught of the mental storm.

“Who goes there?!”

The Sanctuary Leader’s voice was a harsh screech, his composure shattered for the first time.

His eyes, hidden in shadows but reflecting the purple flames, shot wide open.

Deep within his pupils, ultimate terror and disbelief erupted!

How is this possible?!

Who could tear through the spatial barrier and break into a safe house so precisely, so brutally, without him detecting it?!

A voice within the Sanctuary Leader’s mind roared.

[It’s here ¹ Yes, it used 它ta (it) here instead of 她ta (she). ! It’s here! The power to destroy everything! Hate! Hate!! HATE!! Let us unleash a magnificent revenge! Kill the calamity! KILL THE CALAMITY!!!]

Byron felt as if he was struck by lightning!

His previously clouded will regained clarity in that instant.

He saw that familiar figure.

In the footage transmitted back from the main Sentinel base, it was this silver-haired girl who had destroyed everything!

Without a doubt, she was the nightmare of the Yunited States.

Unsurprisingly, her interference was also the reason for the rapid demise of the Yunited States’ Sentinel Organization.

Byron had thought that he could reclaim everything with the Sanctuary’s power.

But this chilling pressure extinguished the last sliver of hope in him.

The fear rooted in the depths of his soul made his entire body rigid.

His teeth chattered violently, and even his scream was caught in his throat.

Only boundless, icy despair crawled over him.

Impossible. It was utterly impossible.

He was going to die.

“Hi~ Nice to meet you, everyone. I’ve brought a gift for our first meeting.”

The silver-haired girl’s figure descended like the God of Judgment heralding doomsday.

Ye Tong stepped with a confident, all-knowing smile into this space they naively believed to be an absolute “safe house”.

Her gaze swept across the horrified Leader and the despairing Byron.

The faint, contemptuous smile on her lips was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, glinting coldly.

Then, a voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

【Target character “Byron” located. Detected that this target does not meet the criteria to become a family member.】

【Host, please carefully discern and avoid being deceived by the appearance and words of a villain.】

【Failed to convert reserve family member “Byron”. The target’s evil index far exceeds the threshold for correction. Please execute the target on the spot, sacrificing family for the greater good. Upon completing the task, you will be rewarded with 10 attribute points.】

As expected, loss brings reward!

Spent 5 attribute points, and now there’s a reward of 10 attribute points incoming!

A net gain of 5 points overall.

Still stingy, but every little bit adds up!

Rеаⅾ οn КatRеadiոɡСαfе

Ye Tong was ecstatic.

Old bastard Byron, my “family” I’ve just met, I’m here to kill you!

At this moment.

The Sanctuary’s pride in its secrecy and security became a complete joke under the system’s unreasonable mechanics.

All enemies lurking in the shadows were pinned in place by this overbearing and unreasonable descent, their hearts filled only with overwhelming shock!

Ye Tong didn’t know anyone present.

She only knew that everyone here had to die!

The Sanctuary Leader reacted first, a strong will to survive forcing his body to move.

According to the voice in his head, the attacker was undoubtedly the source of the ultimate calamity that had forced him to establish the Sanctuary!

Although how she found this place was unclear, he had to leave immediately.

There must be no thought of confrontation!

The Sanctuary Leader could fear no one, but he absolutely couldn’t question the strength of the person before him.

Ever since the entity in his mind showed him visions filled with despair, the Sanctuary Leader had engraved “survival” into his core programming.

No matter how powerful his strength was, it was absolutely impossible to resist the very embodiment of “destruction”!

Run!

This place was, at best, just an independent safe house space.

It wasn’t the Sanctuary’s real “world”.

As long as he could flee to the real home ground and hide, she would never find him!

Under Ye Tong’s surprised gaze, the suspected Sanctuary Leader actually managed to move under the terrifying mental pressure that could crush ordinary S-ranks.

The Sanctuary Leader forcibly activated the core authority of the Source Fire within him!

Whoosh!

Rеaⅾ oո KαtRеαdіոɡCafе

The purple fire swelled and then instantly collapsed, swallowing both of them in an instant.

There was no way the Sanctuary Leader would give up Byron, an individual of immense value.

Even if Byron had to die, he should die only after serving his ultimate purpose.

Ignoring the immense hatred roaring in his mind, the Sanctuary Leader’s goal was always singular: to create a sufficiently concealed safe house, then hide inside until the outside world was completely destroyed.

“Ugh!”

Byron felt his body violently dragged by an invisible force, sucked in along with the Source Flame pulsating within him as its host!

“Eh?”

Ye Tong tilted her head, a hint of surprise flickering in her violet eyes.

“He can still move? Looks like he’s quite capable.”

To be able to use abilities under the pressure of 40,000 units of mental power.

It showed that the man just now had considerable foundation, perhaps comparable to a partially activated Lou Wei.

When Ye Tong had sensed him earlier, she felt a strong surge of hatred and aggression.

But she couldn’t see through his true foundation. It felt like something strange was interfering.

Ye Tong had thought that he would fight back fiercely, but he fled without hesitation instead.

Where did this cowardice come from?

She thought that he would try to withstand this 400,000-point bomb.

However, not a trace of worry showed on Ye Tong’s face. Instead, her smile grew brighter.

She casually obliterated the few Sanctuary members present who were pinned motionless by the pressure.

They turned to ash on the spot, without even a chance to use their abilities.

She didn’t even need the super bomb she had prepared.

Originally, she thought that she would use it here, but thinking carefully, there seemed to be other, more concealed spaces?

“Oh my~ What a pity. Running away with my marked ‘potential family member’? Idiot!”

The spatial rift behind her sealed shut.

The once blazing purple flame had long been extinguished.

Ye Yao let the glowing sphere of mental power float before her chest, nonchalantly dusting off her hands as if flicking away dust.

“System!”

She called out in her mind.

“Locate target: Byron. Tear through the void. Chase them!”

【Detected that the target is not in the same space as the Host. The target space is more independent and complete. Energy consumption for breaking through dimensions increased.】

【Consuming 10 attribute points. Would you like to confirm?】

“10 points?”

Such brazen demand?

Has the Old Feng system lost its mind?

Ye Yao’s heart ached, the corner of her mouth twitching.

But looking at the “reserve family member” light representing Byron flickering in her vision.

Ye Tong decisively abandoned the thought of being stingy.

She was already here. She might as well go all out and enjoy it!

She refused to believe that wiping out the Sanctuary wouldn’t yield the corresponding attribute points reward!

“Confirm! Do it! I’m going on a killing spree!”
