The Legacy System

Chapter 505 – Strange Human Nature

The only ones who weren\'t involved in this whole mess were the characters with a bit of backbone and background that wouldn\'t make it this obvious even if they wanted to make a move.

It looked just like some grown-ups were watching some street kids fighting each other, and instead of intervening to break them up, they just looked on the side without much care.

To them it was just a show, there would always be idiots like these, that wouldn\'t think much of the future or consequences while fighting with their life on the line.

Did they really think that things would end up here? The next day the guys they killed countries, and organizations would come up against them, trying to kill them in order to take revenge.

Especially when there were so many possible eye-witnesses around them, but certainly there were a lot of people who had some extremely deep enmity and anger.

For example, certain ethnicities, and races would always fight against each other. Race, beliefs, standings would always separate people, as one side would always think they were better than the other.

Even if a God, Creator, or even Heaven itself stood in front of these people and told them that they were all of the same roots they would still not believe and accept it while trying to take them down.

In most cases it was no longer about race, faith, or beliefs it was just about interests, and benefits. 

One could blow himself up while screaming it was for his belief when it was actually just to damage a country\'s stability and economy.

He might truly believe it was due to his faith and belief, but was that truly the case? After all, in the radius of his stupidity, there might be many people that shared the same faith as him.

There was no God, faith, or belief that accepted his followers killing each other. So, how just, real, and rationalistic were these actions truly?

These actions didn\'t show that their faith and religion were wrong, these just showed that these guys were some brainwashed idiots who worked for some people\'s benefit.

Earth was full of this type of animalistic idiot, that instead of using his head was using his lower body, or his momentary delirious state to make decisions.

For that reason, while these idiots were fighting against each other, those who had a brain to think would actually just look from the side and hope that they got rid of each other.

Even that pitiful boss guy who started all this was just watching from the side, as these idiots fought against each other.

He started all this thinking to make trouble for Monk Tao, but in fact, it ended up in such a weird and unpredictable event.

One could truly not predict the human mind and its actions, as each and every one of them was a unique animal in its own right.

Of course, Eric and the two by his side stood up among the crowd, as they didn\'t seem to have any unsolvable anger towards their victims.

They were extremely calm and collected, focused more on the fight than the enemy. Like they were fighting and killing people for their pleasure, and not due to some big motive or reason.

Yes, there was this type of animal as well! Animals who would enjoy killing and destroying just due to the sake of it.

It didn\'t make much sense, true! After all, why would someone even enjoy blood, and killing if they were on their right mind?

But the same thing they might ask back, why would someone not enjoy it? After all, in the wild animals kill and feed upon each other, why wouldn\'t humans be the same?

They considered their selves as animals with extra brain facilities, wasn\'t their right and freedom to act as they saw fit and conscientious?

In fact, their problem stood upon their fundamental thinking, as they saw themselves as animals, not humans. So, one can\'t really think of them on the same level.

They weren\'t the only ones, many people see their selves differently from what they are and what they represent.

But while some of them might be true and real, most of these differences are born out of their boredom and disliking of being normal.

So, while everyone looked at Eric and the two by his side as psychos no one actually tried to act and make a move either.

People like them were the most difficult to deal with, as they would not only react violently, but they would also plant a target on everyone they didn\'t like.

No one wanted to deal with some berserk dogs, that could even bit and sicken them. It was just a waste of energy, time, and nerves.

On the other hand, Eric didn\'t seem to care about how these people saw him, and the two beauties as they continued with doing whatever they liked to do, while the fights slowly died out.

After all, even though they were fighting their enemies, each and every one of these idiots could actually see that Eric and his group were doing a massacre.

They killed left and right without caring about group, background, ideology, right, or wrong. Something like that couldn\'t be allowed to happen, as they were all in danger.

At that moment, another great characteristic of human nature showed itself. In face of danger, people forget about all ideologies and differences that separate them and fight together.

In a short amount of time, all the idiots involved in the fight seemed to have reached some sort of understanding without even speaking much, as they all started attacking Eric and the two beauties in tandem.

Eric wasn\'t much impressed by the scene as he had seen even worse than this, Ice was a bit similar in this situation, the only one who was surprised, startled, and shocked was Aika.

She had never witnessed something similar to this, and it was quite a bit taxing to her. She wanted to question these guys what happened to their values and enmity, but it was useless and impossible.

Before she could even say a word these guys were all attacking her with killing intent. It was like she had turned into their most hated enemy.

Survival instinct was truly something strange, and miraculous, as people were ready to do whatever they could in order to survive their situation.

On the other hand, Eric got even happier at this turn of events, as now he could finally test his real strength and abilities, surely within the limits.

After all, all the idiots that had crossed his path, and had created all this chaos and stupid fighting were all Realm 3 tops.

With his current strength and prowess, these guys were nothing more than poor shrimps crossing path, while he was hungry for some seafood.

To the spectators though his facial expressions and his actions were nothing short of a psychotic killer, who enjoyed getting dyed in blood.

As a matter of fact, this couldn\'t be called a full lie, as Eric didn\'t find killing and blood that abhorring. He just saw that as a stage and truth of life.

Furthermore, it wasn\'t like he was killing some innocent and pure people, he was just killing killers, who had dyed their hands in much blood.

The only one who had trouble getting used to the blood and killing was Takeshiba Aika, but even so, she was doing her best to not be left behind.

All this time she had thought a lot about her own situation and disposition, especially her standing on Eric\'s life.

After he had saved her from the charade of a wedding that her own father had prepared for her, she had been even more convinced of being useful to him.

As if that wasn\'t enough, the time and difficulties that they went through inside Willa\'s stomach had made her even more convinced of that decision of hers.

Looking at Ice, Akira, Hilda, and everyone else by his side, her desire to stand out and become more important in Eric\'s heart had fully been ignited.

For that reason, even though she was extremely uncomfortable with the blood and everything happening around her, she continued her massacre without stopping.

Her attitude and determination were certainly commendable, as even Ice was a bit startled and surprised by her.

The problem was that even though her desire and determination were great, her fighting skills and abilities were missing.

While she had been able to manage until now through her overwhelming strength and prowess, it was getting more and more difficult to cope with things.

More and more experts were fighting against her, using all sorts of trickery and schemes, with the sole purpose of either killing her or bringing her as close to death as possible.

If she were in her original appearance, they might have been pulling their punches a bit, not wanting to spoil such a beauty, and such an opportunity.

But in her currently horrendous face, these guys seemed even more motivated to take her down and kill her.

Not long after, as the number of the attackers increased, the beauty suddenly took a wrong stance, which left her defenseless against the rest.

At that moment Eric was in a sort of pinch himself, as he was fighting against triple her attackers\' numbers, and he was a bit too far.

The only way for him to save her was if he used his fastest speed or his teleportation, but both of those were extremely important skills that he couldn\'t show to anyone.

So he was in a dilemma between showing himself, or letting her fend off against the attack herself, and risk her life…
