Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Fozier. The First Marshal.

He was standing in front of Malvador. The new Vampire King.

Pablo had told all the soldiers that no one should engage with Malvador other than he himself. But Harlia was against it. She would engage with Malvador no matter what.

But this Fozier, he came out of nowhere.

Pablo expected that the Marshal would do something like this as he wasn't happy with not being the commander of the army. He was unhappy under the leadership of Pablo. He deserved better than Pablo. He was stronger and better than Pablo in every way. So he should be the Commander.

That's why, if he killed Malvador, then he would be rewarded, praised, renowned as the Hero of the War. The people of Forza were already watching the war, so they will see for themselves how strong Fozier was. If he killed Malvador, in no time, he would be considered better and stronger than Pablo Castillo.

Fozier stood in front of Malvador with his two black broadswords made of Demonite and everyone watched the first Marshal to see what he could do.

Meanwhile, Malvador was walking to reach Pablo when he was suddenly stopped by Fozier standing in front of him, blocking his way.

Pablo paid attention but he couldn't see Malvador as he was blocked by Fozier's back.

But he surely could hear Fozier's words.

"You think you are some big shot, boy?" Fozier spoke.

"I will let you live if you move to the side in the next five seconds." Malvador replied, with no smile so that it wouldn't be taken as a joke.

"As if I will be scared by the likes of you. I shall kill you in a second!"

Fozier spread his arms.

Malvador clicked his tongue. "I warned you."

Before Fozier could do whatever he was trying to do, Malvador clenched his fist and…

PLUCK!

Pablo saw Malvador's right hand.

It came out from Fozier's back after all.

All the soldiers watching that gasped and the Abyssal Butchers who were under the first Marshal couldn't believe their eyes.

Malvador pierced Fozier's chest. And he didn't just pierced it... On his right hand was the beating heart of Fozier.

Malvador took out Fozier's heart and Pablo expected something like this.

"Now, other than the Admiral, does anyone else want to have a go at Malvador?" Pablo asked.

The soldiers stayed silent but after a few seconds, all of them replied:

"No. We are good."

Pablo shook his head and just watched Malvador, who pulled back his hand from the chest of Fozier.

"I don't like useless killing."

The Vampire king shoved Fozier's body aside as it fell on the ground and in front of everyone's eyes, Malvador did something worthy of puking.

The Vampire King ate Fozier's heart.

He finished it in one gulp and now all the soldiers were really sure that they should not engage with the vampire king no matter what.

Pablo stared at Malvador and Malvador, after finishing the heart, carried on his walk towards the second Marshal or the second Commander.

Both men walked towards each other and none of them had a smile on their faces anymore.

Malvador had blood around his mouth and his long black hairs with devilish looks, made the Vampire look like a God of war and lust at the same time.

But just like Fozier had come in front of Malvador, the next second, a Vampire arrived in front of Pablo.

The Vampire leaned his head forward towards Pablo's neck but with just one swing of Colt…

THUD!

The Vampire's head rolled on the ground.

Blood splattered on Pablo's face and Pablo liked it as what was War without any blood on the face?

After a Vampire, a Cannibal came in front of Pablo and this time, the Cannibal used his Ego.

He summoned blades all over his body and jumped at Pablo in order to hug him and kill him.

But some blades didn't scare Pablo. Also, since the Cannibal had used his Ego on him, it was only right Pablo used an Ego too in return.

Therefore, the Ego of the Admiral finally came into play.

But there was no need to use the full power of the Ego so Pablo simply raised his index finger of his right hand and before the Cannibal could touch him, Pablo flicked his finger as if he shot a bullet from it.

The Cannibal laughed at that but he shouldn't have done that.

Because just after Pablo did that…

BURST!

The Cannibal bursted.

He bursted like a balloon filled with candies.

But instead of candies, his innards fell everywhere and now Pablo's whole Demonite armor was covered in blood.

He wiped his face with his hands and watched the piercing gaze of Malvador.

"I told them not to go against him. What can you expect from savages anyway?"

Malvador shook his head and carried on his walk.

From time to time, someone would end up in front of Pablo and Pablo would kill them with ease.

But Malvador was free as no soldier attacked Malvador at all. They had witnessed the man killing a High Duke and a Marshal. No one was foolish enough to court death.

Malvador didn't mind that and he didn't like useless killing anyway.

He just wanted to reach near Pablo and vent everything on the man.

Pablo also wanted to reach the Vampire king and show his real place for good.

But then, his senses rang and he jerked his head all around.

"Is something wrong, Draxus?" He asked, using his right ear-piece.

"Yes, czar."

"What is it? I am not seeing anything wrong."

"It's because you are looking in the wrong direction." Harlia answered and instantly, Pablo stopped looking left and right.

There was only one direction he hadn't looked—Up.

He shot his gaze at the sky and his senses were right.

More than a thousand fire balls hovered in the sky.

They looked like stars from the Crucible but Pablo knew they appeared small because they were far.

If all of that fell on the soldiers, Forza kingdom would suffer a huge loss in numbers. Or worse…

Their number might become Zero.
