Chapter 8 - Dinner Party

Pow.

Cold. Ruthless. These two words rang out in every players mind.

The sound that echo in the restaurant wasn't loud in any way possible. Instead it was quiet, so very much so that if the players weren't paying attention they wouldn't have notice.

They wouldn't have notice the guts these two players they considered newbies to have!

One customer in particular couldn't stop himself from shivering as he look into Kai and Ryker crazy eyes.

"It's those two freaks..." The customer who was short in length whispered to himself.

That same player was Key_Warrior. He thanked his lucky stars that he managed to make it out of Killer's Table alive.

He even let out a sigh of relief when he escaped Kai and Ryker who he consider freaks.

Especially Ryker. The look that he saw in his eyes was something he was very familiar with.

They wanted to rob me! He thought, but luckily enough for him, the game teleported him away at that exact moment.

He was glad he didn't have to deal with them again and was even bragging to his friends at the table just now how he easily defeated a Five of Hearts.

Who would've thought the two of them would appear here in this secluded restaurant?

"I need to leave." He said to his friends around the table.

His friends attention was on Kai and Ryker so they naturally didn't hear him which worked out in his favor.

Unfortunately, leaving would not come easy.

"No one is leaving!" A shout was heard in the back.

A four-arms species also known as Quadramons appear from the kitchen door. In his four hands were butcher knives as he carry them in an imposing manner.

He wore a white apron covered in green goo that drips down to the floor as if it was still fresh.

"You two better have an explanation!" He shouted once more, his gaze sharp and experienced like a true veteran.

At his voice the waiters encircled Kai and Ryker.

"You lowly species... you killed Lamar!" The waiters who were together with the toxic waiter couldn't believe what happened as they look at the dead body laying next to them.

They hissed their teeth, their eyes murderous as they took out their weapons, aiming them at Kai and Ryker!

They stood there with their guns ready waiting for the chef to give his orders!

"This looks bad." Ryker gulped. He looked at the mean weapons aimed at him and pondered on what to do.

He was human after all. He may be stronger than most but to dodge a bullet? Sure, maybe he could do it, but multiple of them?

"Little bro what are we going to do?" He whispered as he realize his temper might have gotten them into a huge mess.

"What do you do when someone piss you off at the club?" Kai didn't answer but asked a question of his own.

He also surveyed the room. Three of them have guns and eight with melee weapon including the one with the four butcher knives who seems to be the restaurant chef and boss. He thought to himself.

Of course, Ryker heard him but he did not mind.

Instead he said with confidence, "I give them a good beat down!"

"That's right." Kai responded with nod.

"So..." He continued, "Just do the usual!"

"Did you two brats not hear me?" The chef shouted again his eyes shifting to all exits to see that they are all blocked.

Kai and Ryker did not say anything. Kai instead took up a plastic fork and spun it in his hand. His actions caused the toxic waiter friends to back up with their guards up.

Kai smiled.

He turn to the chef and questioned, "what explanation is needed when there's a good one laying on floor?" He asked, pointing his finger at the toxic waiter body that was missing an head.

The pistol Ryker shot was so powerful it blew off the toxic waiter entire head!

"Good, good!" The chef nodded with great vigor.

He gave the other Quadramons a look before giving an order.

"Dispose of them!" At his order the three who was the closest pulled their trigger.

At the same time, Ryker also shot three time.

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!

Red bullets met red bullets as the collision let out an extremely loud steel like sound that shook every player ears.

The three waiters stood there with disbelief on their faces.

"Impossible!" Their voices intertwine with one another.

At the same time Kai moved towards them, the plastic fork in his hand.

"Let the party get started! Dinner Party, woo-hoo!!!" Ryker let out a excited cheer.

He turn the opposite of Kai and started spraying bullets mad in all directions!

The customers seeing this all took cover.

"Are you insane?!"

"He's trying to kill us all!"

"We ain't Quadramon you white moron!"

They cursed as they hid where the bullets couldn't reach.

As for the melee quadramons they ignored all defense and rushed at Ryker!

They moved like suicidal war machines!

"This world is so free and fun!" Ryker felt truly blessed at that moment as he threw the pistol at the closest quadramon and rushed him with his bare hands!

The quadramon held a steel looking sword in his hand. Seeing the incoming pistol he sneered and sliced it in two.

Just then, Ryker appear before him.

The Quadramon lips quivered into a disdainful smile.

"You dumb—" He swing his sword from the head down!

He expected his sword to slice Ryker in two but he made a big mistake.

His biggest mistake was thinking an upward-downward cut could threaten a Martial Dominator!

Ryker caught the blade with in between his bare hands before sliding his hands across the blade to get closer to the quadramon.

The blade passed by his head in a strange manner before he headbutted the quadramon!

The hit was so brutal, the quadramon passed out right then and there. He didn't even feel when his own blade slash his own throat.

The quadramon fell dead. It only took three seconds for Ryker to injure him, disarm him and kill him!

His companions were about to attack Ryker, but when they saw how swiftly he killed his opponent they paused.

Fear appear in their eyes.

On Kai side he dodged the entourage of bullets like a slippery snake. His movement was strange and his body bent in a way these four-arms creature couldn't comprehend.

Unlike Ryker who specialized in strength, Kai specialty was speed and with his unique ability Parallel Madness, everything was moving slow yet processing fast in his head!

In his battle against Amore, he was unable to test it very well, but here? The moment the bullets started flying they were extremely slow to his eyes, but moving super fast in his mind. 

Slow and fast, fast and slow. The combination created a dizzy sensation like time was moving faster than the mind could process but also slower for the body to handle.

It was truly madness.

But this kind of madness he could handle.

"This kind of speed is inhumane!" One of the quadramon shouted, their hand shaking as he watch Kai dodge all his bullets effortlessly. 

"You know what inhumane is?" Kai appear behind him suddenly.

He spin the plastic fork so the back was facing his front. Then, it vanished from his hand into his opponent ears.

Blood sprayed, a shriek louder than the toxic waiter echoed out and moments later a body fell to the ground dead.

His companions that couldn't save him in time reloaded and began firing bullets again.

Kai as quick as ever used the dead body as a meat shield. At the same time he pluck out the fork out the waiter ears that was covered in blood and tiny brain pieces.

Unfortunately for him, these bullets quickly tore the dead body to shreds. Still, it buy him the time it needed to get somewhere safe!

Bullets sprayed but to the quadramons horror they ran out of bullets and had to reload! They looked at one another and realized one of them will have to be sacrificed for the other to live!

"That's why I hate guns." Like a nightmarish monster, Kai appear behind them with a wine bottle in hand.

He threw the wine bottle on one of their heads causing it to shatter. The unlucky quadramon passed out with his head bleeding bad. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Don't come closer!" The last quadramon shouted as he quickly reload the gun.

However, how could Kai let such an golden opportunity go?

With the remains of the wine bottle in hand, he plunged it into the last quadramon throat.

It was a slow, lethal and ruthless move. The quadramon dropped on his knees with his hands holding his throat filled with glass shards as he watch himself bleed to death.

Kai seeing the job was done looked at Ryker to see him just finish cutting off the last quadramon head.

"..."

The dinner went quiet. All the customers didn't feel like speaking much less breathing. They just watched two newbies who were neither Blankers or Handlers deal with a group of Blankers on their own turf.

"Those two are truly freaks..." Key_Warrior gulped. If before he thought it was a coincidence that they defeated a Five of Hearts now he was certain it wasn't.

The chef, the last quadramon in the restaurant didn't say anything about the onslaught. All he did was nod his head as if he didn't care that his men were all dead.

His eyes said differently though as the murderous look in them escaped to form around his entire body like a dense killing domain of his own.

Kai and Ryker seeing this gazes grew serious as they realize they were dealing with am expert.

"This guy is dangerous." Ryker noted for Kai as he prepare himself.

Kai also prepared as he stepped back behind Ryker.

They stood there. One, two, three... seconds counted to minutes as they looked at each other.

The customers wonder what they were doing but Kai knew well what was going down.

They were studying each other. It was like mental warfare except it was between two people instead of an army and whoever slip up first would be the one to lose.

Kai didn't wait long.

The chef killer eyes turn into saucers as he was the first to make a move!
