Chapter 64: Justice Man And Justice Heart
[Kyle blinked, eyes wide. "Who are you?"]
["Let's just say I'm someone who doesn't like people like Blood Fang," you responded cryptically, tightening the invisible tentacles around Blood Fang's body.]
[Blood Fang grunted, struggling in vain against the powerful hold.]
["What... what is this?!" He growled, attempting to summon his avatar's power to no avail. "Who the hell are you?!"]
[Your voice remained calm, almost mocking. "Does it matter? You've lost."]
[With that, you dragged Blood Fang out of Kyle's house, leaving the young man still in shock but alive.]
[Kyle, now free from immediate danger, stood frozen for a moment, trying to make sense of everything.]
["Thank you," he called out, unsure if you could still hear him. "I... I owe you my life."]
[You didn't respond. Your focus was solely on Blood Fang, who continued to writhe uselessly in your invisible grip.]
[You dragged the serial killer into a nearby dark alley, far from prying eyes.]
[Blood Fang, still trying to resist, hissed through clenched teeth. "You think you can stop me? You don't know what kind of power I have."]
[You chuckled, unimpressed. "I've already stopped you. And now, I'm going to end this."]
[You tightened your tentacle grip further, causing Blood Fang to groan in pain.]
[With one swift motion, you unleashed the fatal blow, ending Blood Fang's life.]
[As the killer's body fell limp, you collected his avatar crystals—thirteen in total—and one celestial crystal.]
["You've caused enough suffering," you muttered, your tone dark.]
[Upon arriving at the city, you discovered that Justice Man had already finished his heroics. He had returned a stolen purse to an elderly woman and was preparing to patrol another street.]
[Unlike most avatar masters, Justice Man didn't hide his powers. He acted like a superhero, openly protecting the citizens of this continent with the approval of both the special international police department and the government.]
[But you knew that this wouldn't matter soon.]
[Finally, you appeared in front of Justice Man after canceling your invisibility and presence concealment. He immediately sensed the killing intent radiating from you, his stance shifting into a defensive one.]
["You," Justice Man said, narrowing his eyes. "I can sense your malice. Whatever you're planning, I urge you to reconsider. You don't have to do this."]
[His voice was firm but pleading. "You still have a chance to turn away from evil, to use your power for good. Why walk down this path?"]
[You crossed your arms, unimpressed by his speech. "Evil? Good? It's not about any of that. I don't care about being some hero like you. What I need is your celestial crystal."]
[Justice Man's face fell in disappointment as he realized there was no reasoning with you. "So that's what this is about... power."]
["That's all it's ever been about," you replied coldly. "I need to become a Celestial Avatar Master, and you're standing in my way."]
[Justice Man clenched his fists, his resolve strengthening. "Then I have no choice. I won't let you harm anyone else. If it's a fight you want, then so be it. But know this—I fight not for power, but to protect the innocent."]
[You could sense Justice Man's unwavering determination, but it didn't faze you. "We'll see how long that lasts," you said, the weight of your power already beginning to crack the air around you.]
[Although you confronted Justice Man, you had no intention of fighting him head-on.]
[Immediately, you activated your self-existence erasure ability, vanishing from the world.]
[Justice Man, unaware of your presence, summoned his avatar, Justice Heart—a large, muscular humanoid figure clad in shining armor.]
[The avatar wore a white shirt emblazoned with "I LOVE JUSTICE" inside a heart-shaped design. Chains and handcuffs dangled from its wrists and waist, symbolizing its duty to restrain evil.]
["Where's the evildoer that we'll vanquish?" Justice Heart boomed, looking around, fists clenched.]
