The Deceitful One

Half a dozen thick black chains emerged from Bryan's shadow. The ends of the chains were made of sharp arrow-shaped heads.

These Shadow Chains launched themselves at lightning speed and each of the three remaining Kennys was pierced by two shadow chains.

Two Kennys disappeared into smoke, while the third one was stabbed in the chest and the stomach by the two shadow chains. Blood spurted out of his wounds as he coughed up even more blood.

Bryan appeared to be relaxed but didn't drop his guard in the slightest. He slowly walked up to Kenny with a smirk on his face as he said, "Didn't expect that now, did you?"

But all he got in reply was Kenny turning into smoke along with his blood. It was an illusion!

Bryan had already expected this. His eyes narrowed as he raised his daggers to get into a combat stance. But before he could do that, the real Kenny appeared behind him, grabbed his head, and smashed it on the floor.

"Arrgghhhh" Bryan grunted in pain as his face smashed against the wooden planks on the floor. He intentionally loosened the grip on his daggers. Kenny took this opportunity to kick away the daggers.

He turned Bryan around with a kick to his sides. Bryan's nose was already broken at this point from the previous attack as blood gushed out of his nostrils.

Kenny approached him while laughing maniacally. His left arm was already hanging limply to the side after being shot twice.

Bryan who was in a daze after the attack on his head previously, saw Kenny walk toward him. He positioned himself on top of Bryan and sat down on his stomach.

Then Kenny raised his right hand and landed a solid punch to Bryan's face. He continued to punch over and over again while he kept screaming like a madman, "Gotta eat, gotta eat, gotta eat! Hahaha!"

Bryan's face was slightly swollen and completely covered in blood. He had forgotten how many times he had been punched in the face. He was struggling to grab that tiny strain of consciousness and stay awake. Waiting for the right opportunity!

At this moment, Kenny stopped punching. Then he grabbed Bryan's neck and started choking him with all his might as he shouted, "Die, die, die! I'm Hungry! I wanna eat!"

Bryan's eyes turned red as he struggled to breathe. He weakly lifted his right hand and grabbed Kenny's face trying to push him away.

Kenny simply laughed disdainfully at Bryan's futile struggle. But all of a sudden his laughter came to an abrupt halt and his pupils dilated.

Because at some point, a concealed narrow blade had extended out from underneath Bryan's right wrist. The blade stabbed through Kenny's hideous face and came out through the back of his head.

Feeling Kenny's grip loosen on his neck, Bryan sneered, "Heh, gotcha!"

Kenny limply fell over Bryan. The latter didn't avoid the dead body falling on him as he too lay there silently, trying to catch his breath.

After a few minutes, Bryan pushed Kenny who was on top of him to the side. Then he got up to his feet with great effort.

Bryan looked around the living room where the fight had taken place. Everything was a mess. The tables, chairs, and sofa were all destroyed. There was also a pit on the floor from which the Earth Spears had protruded.

Then he looked at Kenny's lifeless body. His face was still the same hideous as before and a small pool of blood had formed underneath his head.

Bryan couldn't help but sigh, 'Who would have thought that the killer was actually a Transcendent?'

He then grabbed his broken nose and forcefully positioned it back to normal. With a cracking sound, Bryan bent over in pain as he grunted, "FUCK!"

His eyes started to water at the pain inflicted by repositioning his broken nose back. But the good news was that it was back to normal again. Although, he would still need to take some medicinal potions.

Right at that moment, a young patrolling police officer entered the house warily with his pistol raised. He had heard the gunshots and the commotion so he rushed over immediately.

He happened to see Bryan standing there in the living room, his face covered in blood and the area around his left eye slightly swollen.

"Raise your hands, don't move!" He screamed nervously at Bryan. Right now, Bryan looked very scary with his face covered in blood and the top half of his suit also full of blood stains.

Bryan turned to look at the young police officer. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Dylan? Is that you?"

He went to the shooting range at the police station every other day. Hence, he was quite familiar with most of the police officers there. He naturally knew this new police recruit, Dylan.

Dylan was surprised to see that the other party had recognized him. He looked closely and then he was taken aback as he asked in surprise, "Mr. Bryan!? What the hell happened here?"

Bryan shook his head and pointed at Kenny's dead body, "That's the serial killer who had been murdering young teenagers. Dylan listen to me! Go to the Wisdom Church and look for Bishop Walls. Tell him that the serial killer is dead and mention to him that he wasn't an ordinary person."

He emphasized the last sentence, making sure that Dylan said this to Bishop Walls.

Dylan was confused as he asked back, "The Church? Why them? Shouldn't I inform the police station first?"

Bryan shook his head, "No Dylan, this is imperative. Inform Bishop Walls first and then you can go to the police station. Do me this favor, please. I'll owe you one."

Dylan hesitated for a moment and then nodded his head, "All right!"

Then he turned back around and ran out of the house. Having the student of the famous Detective Watson owe him a favor was a big deal for Dylan.

Besides, it's not like he wasn't going to report to the police station. He would just do it after he informed the Church.
