Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Boulder was fighting Corrosive. The King of the Cannibals.

But Pablo had said to Harlia that he would take care of the Corrosive.

Pablo had asked Boulder to leave as Pablo was coming towards Corrosive but Boulder refused saying he would kill the Cannibal king.

Pablo didn't mind that but he told Boulder that if Pablo reached Corrosive and found the Cannibal king alive, then Boulder shall leave and find his next prey.

Boulder agreed to that and when Pablo reached Corrosive he found the Cannibal king alive. Boulder wasn't able to kill the Cannibal king and not only that, he was also wounded on his left shoulder. Corrosive had taken a bite.

Nevertheless, since Pablo had reached Corrosive and found him alive, Boulder had no choice but to leave, which, with a lot of problems, he did.

Now Pablo and Corrosive were face to face and in no way did Pablo find Corrosive weak.

If he was able to eat Boulder's shoulder then he surely must not be some meager Cannibal. Boulder was strong, after all.

Also, Pablo saw more than fifteen corpses lying around the Cannibal king and all of them were missing flesh from various of their body parts. Heck, there were some Vampires too.

As expected, Cannibals didn't like Vampires all that much.

Pablo held Colt in his right hand and Corrosive had two battle axes as his weapon.

Both men stared at each other.

Before leaving, Boulder had told Pablo that the Cannibal king was hungry and Pablo being Pablo, said that if the king was hungry then he shall have a foot inside his mouth.

Corrosive had heard it and he was successfully enraged and hoped for Pablo's death.

"I shall eat you whole, commander!" He said.

Pablo smiled. "Come and try."

"Raaaaa!!" Corrosive ran towards Pablo with his battle axes raised and Pablo welcomed him with his Colt ready to fire.

Very soon, Corrosive and Pablo met and the clash of steel happened.

Sparks flew off and Pablo's Colt stopped one battle axe of the Cannibal.

But the Cannibal had two of them and the second one, on his right hand, moved towards Pablo's torso.

Pablo saw that so he bent his torso backwards, making the battleaxe touch nothing but air.

Corrosive roared at the failed attempt and Pablo pushed Colt, making the Cannibal move back.

The Cannibal king was now even more enraged and Pablo also noticed that the man was bigger than him. It was like Pablo was fighting an old man but with black hairs and a working body.

But the good thing was, Pablo had fought many old men like this. So it wasn't a problem for him. Also, he could just use the thing he created with the help of Nike and Hena's Ego and kill the Cannibal but he would wait a little more to make its appearance.

"Enough playing. I shall end you now, Human!" Corrosive declared.

"Try your best." Pablo was ready.

The Cannibal King let go of his battle axes as they fell on the ground.

Pablo could just jump in now and shoved Colt inside the heart of the Cannibal. But he believed the man was using his Ego and it would be careless to just jump in. Pablo was confident in his strength but he also knew that Corrosive must be the king of the Cannibals for a reason. So, he waited.

Pablo kept his eyes and ears open for any thing that could come.

Also, he was in the middle of the war and he expected no courtesy from his enemies. He knew full well that his enemies won't wait just because he was fighting with Corrosive. He would attack Pablo whenever they would see a chance.

That's why, to stay safe from the attacks of anyone other than Corrosive, he had already ordered Draxus to stay behind him in the shadows and kill anyone who would try to attack Pablo when he was busy with Corrosive.

Draxus had already killed several Cannibals and Vampires during Pablo's fight with the Cannibal king as many tried to attack his Czar while he was busy dealing with Corrosive.

Also, some of them also tried to throw all kinds of their Egoes at Pablo from far to get a lucky shot, but Draxus' shadow swallowed them all. Nothing reached Pablo.

"I will reward you grandly after this war, Draxus. Of course, if you manage to stay alive till the end." Pablo promised and laughed at the same time.

Draxus also chuckled. "I look forward to it, Czar."

"What? Your death?"

Draxus laughed. "No. My reward."

They both shared a laugh.

"On a serious note, keep an eye on me. If you see me acting strange then…"

Pablo told Draxus what he should do and the next second, before Draxus could reply, Corrosive's Ego finally acted.

Pablo suddenly found himself in an immensely dark place.

Blackness all around him and no sound came to him. Only silence and darkness. He felt he was trapped inside a box kept in the corner of a room whose lights were closed.

But Pablo didn't freak out.

He kept his calm and he didn't try to run or jerk his hands all around. He knew nothing would come out of it and he would only tire himself.

Also, he knew that this wasn't the end of Corrosive's Ego, there was something more to come.

Nevertheless, Pablo looked at himself and when he looked at his hands, he felt strange.

Something was missing. Something was wrong.

Pablo looked exactly like he expected him to be but something was amiss. And he felt two things were missing.

He stared at his empty hands with troubled expressions and he just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

His empty hands.

And his strange feeling body.

The missing things got something to do with these two.

His empty hands.

His empty hands.

His empty hands.

Wait… his empty hands.

Empty.

Why were his hands empty?

Where was Colt?

And his body…

It was wet. It dripped with water.

But not anymore.

He finally found it and upon finding it, he reached a conclusion.

His mind was trapped.
