Chapter 3 - Hell Reanimated[2]

"Run!
"
nSomeone shouted only to turn around and to his horror find another beast behind!
n
"Grrr
"
nHe was surrounded. Before he knew it his head was crushed under the raptor's teeth as it leapt on him. Several raptors came running towards him too to get their share of human meat.
n
"Hehe, finally a heated battle in another world!
" one of them who wielded gauntlets seemed to be full of spirits. Not all were panic stricken. There were all types of people present. He was the first who had picked up a weapon if one were to not consider Klautz.
nSomeone called out to him. He was amongst the few who could fight.
n
"Help me, please!
"
nThe gauntlet wielder frowned. The pleading man was already surrounded by beasts. There was no helping him.
n
"Sorry bro, today was your unlucky day. I couldn't save ya,
" said the man wielding the gauntlets.
nThe pleading man could only watch him go away as tears started to well up on his eyes. He was surrounded by beasts. There was no one to help him. He was their prey now.
n*Crack*
nThe beast pounced on him crushing his bones and so did its brothers.
nWherever eyes went it was chaos!
nHell was reanimated. This massacre could no longer be stopped.
nKlautz sighed as he watched people die and be consumed by the beasts.
n
"Those who die here are really lucky,
" whispered Klautz as he was familiar with the hell that they were about to face in the future. But, that didn't mean he was going down without a fight! No matter what happens.
n'I need to make a change.'
nKlautz was the only one who knew of the future. He knew how humans were going to go extinct! And, he was the only one who could make a change.
nIf he didn't know of the extinction of the humans in hell, he would have killed himself already. Going through hell once had broken him. How could he have plunged himself into the same hell with a sane mind? He had a mission and he must complete it before his death.
nBut the same wasn't true for the other summons of hell!
nThe others neither had any responsibilities nor did they know of their future. Their motives were selfish and they just wanted to save themselves.
n'I can't put myself in danger or risks that might lead to my certain death. Every step must be taken with absolute precision.'
nEveryone here thought of themselves. Klautz could not risk putting himself in danger for saving them. Saving them today won't help humanity as a whole.
nGive them an inch they will ask for a mile. They will become dependant if they are saved.
nThere was no point for Klautz having sympathy for them. At after spending years in hell his heart had become that of a stone.
n
"I am not as strong as before.
"
nTravelling back in time had nerfed Klautz's stats. He could barely fight with the Krokonov in this state.
n*Slash*
nKlautz's blade slashed apart an approaching krokonov. His ninjato danced in the air singing a song of death for the beasts.
nIt wasn't easy to wield a ninjato. It was a weapon of the ninjas and wasn't just a sword. The one who compares ninjato with western medieval swords is nothing but a fool!
nThe blade of the ninjato is sharp and packs a lot of slashing force but it must be slashed while keeping the blade straight. A deflection of just a degree and the blade would absolutely break!
nMaintaining the form is an absolute!
n*Slash*
nKlautz wielded the ninjato on his right while his left arm was free, blocking all of the holes in his defence! He held onto the sword loosely as he did backslashes and upper cuts rather than using the normal way. That was his style and his kenjutsu form!
n
"Grrr
"
n
"Grr!
"
nThree Krokonov surrounded Klautz from three directions. They were gonna do a pincer attack!
nBut Klautz was calm. Unlike others he knew he could get out of the situation easily. In fact he was thankful that there weren't more than three. The others were acting as nice bait to distract all the monsters for Klautz. Klautz would kill them one by one until no one remained.
nA Krokonov leapt at Klautz. Klautz left hand slapped it on its cheek pushing it to the right while Klautz side stepped to the left.
n*Slash*
nKlautz did an uppercut slash on the monster's stomach as he sidestepped, splashing blood on his face. The beast had fallen to the floor eating dust.
n
"Grr!
" Seeing their brother die the others roared as they leapt on Klautz together.
nBut Klautz died at just the right second making them clash with each other.
nKlautz had returned to the past, losing all of his powers and abilities. He might be weak but his muscle memory was that of the strongest ninja in hellfeim!
nHis senses had dampened. His breathing had become heavy. But Klautz didn't care about it at all. Klautz used his body as if it were a tool to its absolute limit. Wasn't that exactly what Klautz was in his past life? He was a ninja… a tool. It was as if he had no pain receptors!
nThe other two raptors also fell to the ground dead.
n'Let's see how many would live…'.
nKlautz scanned his surroundings looking for more targets.
nWhile the Krokonov were preoccupied with eating, he had to take them down one by one.
nSurprisingly not only Klautz but another guy wearing gauntlets followed behind him and killed those Korkonov which Klautz was unable to reach. He went ahead and smashed their heads with his fist alone.
nKlautz spotted him in the corner of his eyes. And then nodded even between his fights in admiration.
n'It is men like him who can survive in hellfeim.'
