Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The slaughter at the capital

Explosions go off in the distance inside a town. The guards rush to where the explosion came from. Satoshi walks out of the smoke created by the destruction. "Stop right where you are. Come peacefully, or we will resort to force," one of the guards says. Satoshi starts to laugh. He looks at them with a grin that fills the guard with fear.

"You weaklings really think you could take me by force. Just accept your fate AND ROLL OVER AND DIE," Satoshi says to them. Guards appear on the streets on all sides and surround him. They hold up their spears and rush at him. With a single swing of his arm, Satoshi kills half of the guards. The rest of the guards try to run away, but one of them falls down. The blood of his comrades splattered on him. "You guys think you can escape by running away. It's always fun watching prey trying to escape their fate." 

The guard on the ground looks at Satoshi, completely filled with fear. "Please, someone… anyone… save us," The guard says. Satoshi grins as he smashes the guard's head with his foot. The blood splatters up in the air, and civilians run away from the slaughter in fear. He slowly starts walking towards the other guards. Someone else runs and jumps at Satoshi with a spear covered in lightning bolts and thrusts the spear towards him.

"You will pay for your sins," they say. The rest of the guards cheer that Jeromy has come to save them. Satoshi dodges to the side. He lifts his arm and goes to punch him.

"YOU WISH," says Satoshi. Jeromy lands on the ground and barely dodges the attack. The wind pressure destroys multiple buildings. Jeromy lands behind Satoshi. Jeromy turns around and attacks Satoshi. Satoshi turns and tries to punch Jeromy. Jeromy ducks under the attack. He turns to the side and tries to attack again. Satoshi smashes his foot into the ground, causing the area to shatter. Jeromy jumps back. He lands a decent distance away, surrounded by the rubble of his city. His face gets filled with rage. 

"Lightning step, Piercing lightning." In an instant, Jeromy dashes at Satoshi. Satoshi steps backward to the side to dodge, but the attack still scratches him. Jeromy jumps above Satoshi and throws his spear downwards. "Zeus's Lightning bolt," Jeromy yells. Satoshi puts his arm up and blocks the attack. Jeromy kicks the spear deeper into Satoshi's arm. 

He tries to pull the spear out, but it is stuck. Satoshi goes to punch him. Jeromy dodges most of the blow, but it still does significant damage. He gets the spear unstuck, and Jeromy jumps back, stumbling when he lands. Jeromy holds the spear with both hands. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul yowskhohw, fibuihn di tuni ehn wovire da ksire wolk ul oddaefibetyire fmaan. Yowskhohw Bafuhehra." Lightning surrounds Jeromy's body, and he pulls his spear back to his waist. "Yowskhohw fkam, moabrohw yowskhohw." Jeromy appears behind Satoshi, leaving lightning where he ran. He thrusts his spear forward, but it gets grabbed. Satoshi grins, holding Jeromy's spear in his hand.

"I've already seen that trick; an attack as simple as that is easy to counter once you've seen it before." Satoshi holds up his hand in front of Jeromy's chest. Satoshi sends his hand through his chest, and Jeromy gets thrown by Satoshi, flying through a large number of buildings and leaving him in a soon-to-be-dead state. Satoshi starts walking towards the castle, leaving destruction in his path. Jeromy lands next to Jesse. Jesse's eyes have turned red. 

"Please… Spare the.." He coughs up blood. " Citizens.." He manages to get out. He looks at Jesse as the light in his eyes starts to fade away.

"It's a shame that you live in a town taken over by the Church of Chaos, or the church of the Supreme, as you know it. They chose war, and it is inevitable. If this town doesn't get destroyed here, then many others will be. Sorry to tell you, but this town must be destroyed so I can speed up the war." Jesse gets up and walks away as Jeromy dies. "Only the ones that fight back will be killed," He says as he walks towards the castle.

A guard rushes over to one of the unit's commanders and reports that 69 percent of the capital has been destroyed. "Damn it, it's only been around 10 minutes; how has he caused so much damage? Call Jeromy and Rebecca to fight." A soldier runs up to the commander.

"Jeromy just died trying to defeat him. Rebecca was also just killed by him, but was able to help most of the Civilians escape," The soldier says.

"FOCUS ON TAKING HIM OUT, USE THE CIVILIANS AS MEATSHIELDS IF YOU HAVE TO, JUST KILL HIM NOW," the commander yells, getting angrier. The soldier falls on the ground, eyes filled with fear. He turns around and runs away quickly. The commander slowly turns around and sees Satoshi standing there, smiling. The wall behind them completely crumbles. Satoshi grabs the commander's head and crushes it, dropping him to the ground.

Jesse walks through the rubble as Satoshi kills the commander. "You should have realized who you were dealing with before you attacked. You guys should have thought before acting, especially because you don't have the support of the king of Salence. You fools of the Church need to choose your enemies better."

Inside the castle, the king and his ambassador are talking. "You said you would send one of the best assassins the church had," The king says angrily to the ambassador. "They were completely useless, and now we're in this situation," The king anxiously looks outside the window as fire consumes the town.

"They are more powerful than expected. Thankfully, the church does have a plan to deal with them. For now, we should escape through the secret tunnel." Suddenly, Satoshi breaks through the wall. The ambassador and the king's eyes widen. "How did you get here so fast? It should have taken you at least another half hour. Were the soldiers really that useless?" the ambassador says. Satoshi rips a chain off the wall and throws it at the king. The king tries to dodge, but it is too late. The chain wraps around his upper half, and Satoshi quickly pulls it, ripping the king's upper half off. The ambassador falls into fear. He quickly gets up and runs into the secret passageway.

"You won't be any safer there than you are here," Satoshi says, covered in a malevolent grin. The ambassador continues to run through the corridor until he sees a pair of glowing red eyes.

"WHO ARE YOU?" He yells. Jesse walks forward and slashes the ambassador's head off with his hand. The blood splatters all over the wall. Satoshi goes and finds the wine cellar and puts it all in his dimensional storage. Satoshi then heads to the treasury and takes all of that too. He and Jesse meet up as they leave the city. The castle collapses in the background behind them.
