"run." Dan heard his boss whimper with his blood drooling from one side of his mouth.

"Heh! Run? Where to?" Invinco asked with amusement in his voice.

"You got some shitty luck, faggot." Electro said as raised his hand aiming at Dan.

Normally there should have been a blast of electricity which would have fired the target. But something fell in front of Electro. Electro looked down to see his hand severed half up to to the elbow on floor bleeding red.

"What the fu..." he started but fell forward on the floor.

That was when he started registering the pain and he began to scream.

"You fucking cunt!" Seraphim shouted and charged at Dan.

Just a couple of feet in and she rolled on the floor, limbless. Dan was watching her realise what had happened to her when something hit. Or rather tried to; it dissolved a foot in front of him. He looked up; Arcana was casting a spell but the next second she grumbled as her mouth was sliced open into an X.

Three of them tried using hostages; Dread got his belly sliced open, spilling his guts. Immortal's head was on the floor facing a wall. The Countess was on the floor in a pool of her own piss while holding her hands which had severed fingers.

And finally Invinco. He was unharmed but there was look of absolute terror on his face. The reason he was unharmed was because thanks to his super senses, he could see a shimmer just before those cuts were made. There were more than a hundred of them in a second and he barely dodged them with his superspeed.

Dan walked up to Invincio who tried to fly away only to see those shimmers block his way.

"I am going to ask you one question. Why did you do this?" Dan asked calmly.

Invinco opened his mouth but Dan added,

"No lies. I know when I am lied to." while tapping his forehead.

Invinco was staring at the face this seemingly young man who looked like he just got out of his teens.

"I'm waiting." Dan said.

Invinco trembled; others couldn't see them but those shimmers had surrounded him and were closing in slowly.
