The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 52 - Power is Power

Last chapter, after their plan failed the trio ended up getting destroyed by Virile one by one. Just as the Mayors goons start to have their way with Karia, before they can go any further Abigail's father joins the fray and stops them with his Blessing. The hero, Onyx, starts to fight Virile with the power of his Blessing being the ability to launch his blood out of his palm in the form of a solid blade, in which he can only change its direction every time he slices someone. Now, after attacking Virile's goons once again the hero seems cornered.

Seric's P.O.V.

"What the hell is he doing?!" I think to myself in panic as Onyx continues to stand still and retract his bent and twisted super long blade of blood- all the while Virile is just stomping closer to him from behind and his goons are charging at him from the front.

"Stay back damn it, this isn't your fight!!" Virile commands, causing his men to skid on the sand until they stop completely.

The mayor then raises his leg, and slams it down into the sand with a loud "HMPH!". Finally Onyx's blood blade fully retracts into his palm, and without hesitation he charges straight towards Virile who's now panting again.

"I see you have some decency after all!" Virile shouts out as he continues to stomp towards our hero, but before he can continue he once again slams his foot down into the sand at a slightly different angle than before- which makes him start to pant heavily as he continues to put pressure on the cut I gave him.

"Wait, no! Virile's just setting up a trap again like he did for Metallica, Onyx is gonna run right into Virile's Blessing!" I think to myself in fear as Onyx foolishly continues to run at the same not too fast pace, while the monster is standing still and panting but bending down a bit in order to be more mobile I presume.

Onyx is a bit in front of Virile as he stops his charge, but just as he raises up his palm-

*BOOM!*

Abigail's father gasps in pain as he's launched high up into the air- with me hearing the cracking of his bones.

I squint my eyes shut and shake my head as I hear the sound of our defeated hero landing on the ground but my pathetic actions and unfaithful actions are interrupted by-

"Weaponize My Being: Your Blood Is My Blood!" Onyx shockingly yells in a deep tone with his palm stuck down at a surprised and tired out Virile as he lies on the ground using his other hand to support him temporarily. Using the stillness to his advantage, Onyx launches the singular blade of blood out of his palm.

But my jaw drops- due to the fact that the blade continues to move towards Virile who is just barely cut by the hit, until even more shockingly it breaks off into hundreds of other blades aimed straight at Virile!

*SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH
SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH!*

All of the blades automatically slice through Virile at once and continue to do so mercilessly at random angles, causing him to be impossible to be seen through the red blurs surrounding him and the sand that's been thrown into the air because of it- but I can sure as hell hear him groaning and screaming in pain.

"What?! Holy shit that Blessing is overpowered!! Was he only able to pull that off because of how he cut so many people?! But still, did it move on its ow- never mind, is this it?!" I think to myself in admiration and hope, a smile creeping onto my face even with the immense pain I'm feeling on my arm- well because I don't have an arm now.

"DAMN YOU- LIKE HELL IF I'LL DIE HERE- AGH!" Virile tries to sound manly through the extremely loud sound of the cuts, but gets literally cut off as he screams in pain once more.
