Solo Cultivation in The Apocalypse

Onogi continued screaming, it vibrated through the walls of the Science Academy. Hitori wondered if it went any further outside the academy – cause if it did, then he should be expecting the guards.

From the detached arm, Kamino was holding beside Onogi, blood would not stop dripping, and neither did Onogi's shoulder stop spraying blood. He jerked whatever was left of his arm since it was torn from around the shoulder.

Reon stepped back and dodged the blood, but Kamino did not mind the blood bathing his face and his chest. In fact, he was grimacing. As ugly as he could grimace at his son's demise.

He swung Onogi's arm, it went up in the air before landing in the room. Then Hitori realized he had to do something, he could not just stand and watch Kamino kill his son.

Migi had killed Tengoku when he was for Hitori and Reon to be killed; now the same was happening with Kamino and Onogi – but Hitori had promised, he would not let it happen.

He glanced at Reon. She stepped forward with her gun raised in front of her. Hitori followed her gaze, it was pointed at Kamino. He felt proud, he did not have to tell her what to do  – he was not the only one who wanted to end Onogi by his hands.

Kamino tilted Onogi to the side, then raised him above his head. "This is how you will have to pay for your mother. She was a bitch and—"

She took aim and fired the shot. The bullet hit Kamino on the side of his shoulder, tearing into his shoulder blade, and making him cry in pain.

Hitori stood awe-struck, that in spite of the shoulder pads he was wearing, and the eight arms blocking the view to his head, she had managed to get a shot in his shoulder – although it was aimed for her head.

He threw an angry glare in her direction, she did not flinch. "What are you doing, you stupid girl?!"

Reon fired two more shots. He blocked them this time though, obviously. Then he did what everyone wanted him to do, he swung his arm – throwing Onogi away.

Reon stepped back when Kamino started striding towards her. She knew she had no chance to get a clear shot with the metal arms blocking her view, so he had to step back.

Hitori got off the ground and dashed to grab Onogi's falling body. He saved his head from banging on the ground, but could not stop his back from banging on the ground and breaking a few more bones.

Hitori grabbed his head and shook him. "Hey. Oi! Are you alive? Fucking give me a sign."

He had closed his eyes, but he was moving his mouth. Hitori leaned to him and hear him whisper, "What does it matter to you? You wanted me dead anyway."

Hitori tightened his grip around Onogi's shoulders on hearing that. His hand dug into the torn skin and Onogi moaned, but Hitori did not bother to pull his hand away. He leaned back from him, then turned to Eya.

Kakashi strode past Eya, to stop the Octopus monster from doing the same to Reon as he did to Onogi. He fired an explosion spell, then fired a series of curses, which Kamino could block.

"Eya-nee," he shouted, "heal this bastard!"

She was confused but did not ask any questions. With her wand held in front of her, she rushed to Hitori, then squatted beside Onogi.

Hitori dropped Onogi on the ground, then rose away from him. Eya took charge and started healing him, still confused about the reason.

Kyo could not take down Kamino yet, but he could at least push him back and save Reon from getting hurt. She did not back down, though, she continued trying to find an opening. Then realized she was not Tengoku's man, and her ammo was limited.

Eya rose from the ground and looked at Hitori. "I have stopped the bleeding, but I can not do anything else." She shook her head in disappointment. "Only if Kakashi—"

Hitori looked down at Onogi. "It is this bastard's fault he is dead. As long as he is not bleeding to death, he will be alright."

Eya exchanged glances between Onogi and Hitori's stone-cold stare. Then she mustered up the courage to ask, "Why are you healing him? He should not live, right?"

Hitori drew his wand and pointed it at Onogi's face. "He does not deserve to die like this. He just realized he is not his father's son – he should not die like that." He aimed at Onogi's broken nose. "Petrify."

Starting from his nose, then down to his toes, his body turned to stone. Eya stared in shock as Hitori raised his wand from Onogi to Kamino.

"Do not let that bastard father crush his body, Eya-nee. This started with Akemi-san and Onogi, it will end with them." Hitori pulled back his wand, then fired a curse at Kamino.

Kamino was not expecting an attack from his left side, so a black beam flaring toward him left him startled.

He turned his hands to block the beam, Kyo attacked from an opening at the front while Reon found an opening from the other side.

The black beam corrupted one of his arms, and Kyo's beam corrupted another, but he could not stop the multiple bullets from Reon – one ended up in his obliques.

"Bakuhatsu!" Hitori fired at his arm. It took him by surprise, and the next thing Kamino knows, his arm is a blunt metal junk.

Hitori attacked another arm before Kamino could do anything. Kyo took the chance and blew another arm while Reon fired the last bullet, then squatted to reload.

"Why the fuck are you doing this to me?! I helped you, you fuckers!"

"I appreciate your help, but I do not appreciate you taking what is ours. He is not even your son, you can not kill him." Then Hitori blew the last of his arms, dropping him to his real arms. "You killed your wife and the man she cheated with. That is enough."

Reon cocked her gun, then fired three bullets in Kamino's brains – aiming right for the first time while being under pressure.

Blood sprayed all over the ground before Kamino dropped to the ground. Hitori lowered his wand and Kakashi sighed while Eya pulled her eyes away from the gore.

That did not stop Reon from coming closer to him and pointing her wand over his head up-front, standing just a foot away, she filled Kamino's brain with the remaining eight bullets.
