*Splat*
"N-n-n-no w-w-wait *Gaahh!*"
"NOOO-*Slick*"
In an instant, 3 more died as everyone was still frozen in shock but as they saw their dead comrades, they woke up and brought out their respective weapons.
"YOU!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOU HAVE DONE!!? THE GUILD WILL KNOW OF THIS!!" One of them bravely yelled out as most of them grew their confidence when they reasoned with themselves that their enemy was only one man.
5
"YEAH! PUNK!! DON'T EVEN THINK YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE ALIVE!!"
"WE'LL CHOP YOU UP AND FEED YOU TO THE F*CKING DOGS!"
"YOU'LL REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LI-*Slick*-FE… Huuhhh..*Thud*"
4
As the rest of them spewing threats left and right, they all suddenly stopped again as they all didn't expect one of them actually got beheaded without any of them seeing his movements.
Kira twirled his black scythe with ease then he started charging through them and killing, one by one.
Kira swung his scythe to one side as two of them were defenselessly beheaded at the same time one of them got behind Kira and swung his ax but before it could it hit, Kira disappeared and appeared at his back with the blade of Kira's scythe already heading for his neck.
1
*Slick*
Three more heads flew in the air as others started to fight back but every time they come close to him, they would either drop dead without knowing how or they would see the blade of the scythe heading straight at their necks.
The rest who weren't fighting stepped a few steps back as all they see right now is a pair of a red streak of light zipping past everyone as dead bodies and heads flying through the air followed its wake.
After a few more minutes Kira stopped suddenly and stood still at the center of the area full of blood and corpses around him.
The remaining few now were all trembling in fright as some of them even pissed their pants. They couldn't help it, even if some of them were adventurers, they still haven't seen anything like this.
The amount of carnage and blood filled the entire area that some Demi-Humans and sharp adventurers near them smelled and sensed this amount of death. Naturally, these guys quickly made their way there without any second thought as the dread they are feeling right now is like they were dealing with a high-leveled monster in the dungeon.
2
When Kira turned towards the remaining Soma Familia as his red glowing eyes looked at them, most of them couldn't help their legs turning into jelly in fear as they all trembled even more.
Kira started slowly approaching them casually with his black scythe still dripping with blood at his side.
Some couldn't take it anymore and tried to go around him but before they could pass him, their heads separated from their bodies.
At this time there were only two guys still standing in front of Kira but both of them are trembling as their faces are pale.
One of them gritted his teeth in frustration as shouted out to Kira.
"Y-Y-YOU BASTARD!! YOU JUST KILLED MY SUBORDINATES!! I AM STILL THE CAPTAIN OF THE SOMA FAMILIA, ZANIS LU-*Slick*-Straaa… ehh," Zanis couldn't finish his speech as the last thing he saw was his body getting further away from him.
14
*Thud*x2
6
Both of his head and body touched the ground at the same time as Kira approached the last one but the thing he found strange was someone didn't even take out his weapon, instead, he just raised both of his hands in the air.
4
Kira stopped just in front of him with his cold red glowing eyes bearing down on him.
*Gulp*
The last one was Chandra Ihit, the only sober and alive member currently in the building as he forced himself to at least say something.
"U-u-u-um… I know the Soma Familia is not the most ideal Familia and we might have been doing unsavory things and for that… I apologize… on behalf of our Familia…" Chandra hesitantly muttered as he closed his eyes for the inevitable end but after a few more seconds, he slowly opened his eyes as Kira disappeared in front of him as he couldn't help but sit on the ground in relief.
At the same time, the Demi-Humans and adventurers blasted the door open as some of them instantly puked their dinner as soon as they saw the inside.
Walls, floors, tables, and chairs are all soaked in blood as the only thing they noticed still alive was Chandra sitting on the floor staring at nothing.
*Thud*
They wanted to ask Chandra about what happened here when they suddenly heard a sound from the above floor.
Most of them quickly made their way to the upper floor until they saw a door open.
They all cautiously moved toward it but as they peered at what was inside, they all gasped in shock and surprise when they saw and recognized the dead body and head on the floor.
The Soma Familia's god, Soma himself laid on the ground, headless.
41
They all couldn't fathom who would have the audacity to actually kill a god and his Familia just like that.
That night, a part of the city was in chaos because of it. The description given by the lone survivor of this massacre was that of a white skull mask while wearing all black and his weapon was a black scythe.
The Guild even called for an emergency meeting as they themselves couldn't believe it at first that someone actually killed a god. It even got to the point that Royman Mardeel, the head of the Guild under Ouranos, yelled and demanded an emergency mission for adventurers to capture this assailant, at any cost.
5
While every one of them is trying to find anything about the incident, the culprit himself is being punished by Mia because he was late so he was tasked to wash the plates now.
2
All in all, it was a normal night, for Kira that is. Mia had her suspicions about Kira but seeing her employee bring in his fans of ladies with him after he was late was enough to deter her mind elsewhere.
…
Morning came and by now almost all in Orario are in shock at what happened. In just one night, a god and his Familia were all massacred, well most of them but that doesn't matter as, at the moment, Soma Familia was no more.
The Soma Familia properties were all given to the surviving members of it, mainly the little girl Kira saw that night and Chandra. Chandra would've complained about it but as of now, he is still traumatized about the whole incident.
The little girl cried in happiness as soon as she heard. In one night, the Familia that was treating her like trash disappeared like a bad dream. She also heard that her god Soma is now refusing to go leave heaven for now.
9
Meanwhile at The Hostess of Fertility
Kira talked to Mia about his day-offs as he noticed the shameless lady herself not once thought about it. So at the end of their discussion, Mia reluctantly permitted Kira to have his holidays which was quickly heard by every employee there.
1
Kira first did his usual morning workout in his room though at some point one of his coworkers named Syr suddenly came in and advised him that it was better to do these exercises without a shirt on. Kira curiously looked at her but as he thought it was better than having sweaty clothes so nodded at her and took it off.
23
At the same time, he did this, Kira heard a sound coming from his door but since there was Syr standing there, he didn't dwell on it as he continued though he did take note of Syr wiping something from her nose.
8
If Kira only looked at the bottom of the door, he would see it was covered in blood like there were several faucets opened at the same time. By the time he finished, everything was already back to normal but he did notice almost all of his coworkers were covering their noses.
13
He changed to his casual clothes to enjoy his day off but as soon as he got out of the inn, the rest of the female employees, not including Ryuu, got out as well intending to follow(stalk) him but not even a step later, a wild Mia appeared in front of them looking at them with bloody murder in her eyes.
5
At that, they were all dragged back to the inn though one of them, Syr, was kicking and screaming as she fought with all her got just to follow Kira but sadly Mia has a vice grip on her.
6
Kira calmly looked around but when he looked at the tower, his curiosity peaked as he wanted to know how is the dungeon here compared to the system of his. So without any more hesitation, he headed straight for it.
Kira walked there at his pace as he saw the sun was just beginning to rise then he also took out his daily bread to eat something on the way.
It took him a good few minutes to arrive at the base of the tower. He saw many groups of people equipped with different weapons and equipment strapped to themselves.
He silently looked at them as he made his way to the entrance of the tower while minding his own business.
Though the sight of a young man and wielding no weapon on himself walking to the tower took their attention. Many of them thought that the guy was only a newbie or someone arrogant but still, those with a sense of duty tried to persuade him to turn back or at least bring a weapon.
"Hey, you!! Where do you think you're going huh!? You would need at least a weapon before going in there," Some adventurer with good intentions approached Kira.
Kira stopped and looked back at the guy.
"...Duly noted,... Thanks." Kira replied as he bowed slightly as he continued his way over the tower.
The adventurer's face twitched as he thought maybe Kira is really arrogant but still, he thought he should help the new guy when he sees him there later.
6
Kira finally stepped into the dungeon and just like the one he remembers from the show, in the center of the room is a ten-meter-long hole with spiral stairs running along with the walls that lead straight down.
3
He looked and contemplated the long stairs as he thought the time he would waste on these stairs. So, him being a 'simple' guy, he silently walked to the hole at the center.
His actions took the attention of everyone that saw him. Some of them even went forward and tried to catch Kira but before any of them could come close to him, he actually jumped into the hole.
No one said anything for a moment as this was the first for them to see someone commit suicide by jumping through the hole but seeing that they didn't even know Kira, they didn't dwell on it too much. Death in the dungeon is a common occurrence to all of them so they weren't really that affected.
Back to Kira.
Kira was currently free-falling straight to the very first floor of this dungeon as some adventurers on the stairs noticed him and stared at him like he was crazy.
3
On halfway through, Kira's clothes started to change as he donned on his Reaper outfit, including his white skull mask then he did a superhero landing at the moment he landed.
12
*Thud!* *Crack*
6
The ground beneath him cracked in response to his landing as many adventurers down there looked at him in awe as they never saw something like that.
2
Kira stood up and walked forward without a care about their stares though due to his entrance most adventurers on his way actually made way for him as they continued to stare at him.
On the first floor, he saw the walls are light blue colored and some monsters, specifically Kobolds and Goblins, started appearing from who knows where. He also saw some adventurers whether they were in a group or individually, were trying to fight off these monsters.
Kira on the other hand was calmly walking through the entire way as any monsters coming towards him would stand frozen for a moment then retreat or go towards others much to the other adventurers' frustration.
2
Here they were, trying to survive and fight their way through but now seeing Kira just casually walking through the entire thing with no effort on his part is very aggravating towards them all.
Granted it is still the very first floor which is also known as the Beginning Road, meaning every one of these monsters could be taken care off of by many but still seeing someone just taking his walk through the monsters is a bit infuriating.
Kira continued his walk without caring for other adventurers' dilemma and in no time he finally arrived on the 5th floor with no monsters obstructing his way.
When he arrived there, he saw that the lights along the walls changed to light green in color and this time there were now a group of killer ants the size of dogs added to the mix of monsters. Though it didn't matter, all of them started giving him the way as well, much to everyone's frustration who saw this.
Kira continued on until he finally came to a floor that didn't flee from his sight. Minotaurs on the 13th floor were very brave as soon as he was spotted by them, they hesitated for a moment then charged at him in a blind rage.
He silently looked on, as one of them roared and punched out its right arm towards his face.
*Bam*
As the punch hit, a cloud of dust covered up Kira but the Minotaur, who punched him, suddenly fell on its bottom as it stared at Kira with fear while retreating hurriedly much to the curiosity of the rest of the Minotaurs surrounding them.
As the cloud cleared out, the Minotaurs widened their eyes as they saw Kira still standing there with not an ounce of injury that could be seen on himself.
"...Hm… I have to admit… this dungeon is pretty… damn…" Kira muttered as he instantly appeared in front of one of them then took hold of its throat in one hand. Even with the height difference, Kira is still effortlessly gripping its neck despite the Minotaur punching and kicking him with all of its efforts.
"Disappointing…" Kira muttered as he took out his black scythe then in flash, the Minotaur he was holding got its head flying through the air.
10
*Thud*
The Minotaurs looked at this for a moment then they all roared in unison as a sign of attacking Kira all at once.
Kira calmly let go of the headless body as he looked at humanoid bulls charging at him all around.
1
At the same time, the headless body touched the ground, Kira's eyes glowed then he appeared at the Minotaur who was leading the charge, and in a blink of an eye, that Minotaur was cut into pieces.
Kira didn't stop as he continued to slice up every Minotaur on sight though, at the standpoint of anyone watching this, they would only see a pair of red streaks of light going through all of the Minotaurs.
2
Anywhere those red lights come through, blood and dead bodies follow it. It even got to the point that some group consisting of Level 2's, puked out their breakfast as soon as they saw the carnage.
3
The once white-like interior of floor 13 became filled with the color blood red as well as the various black smoking body parts of Minotaurs.
After a few more seconds, Kira finished killing every Minotaur he could see as the ground beneath him was littered with blood though the sight of him standing in the center of it made it a very unforgettable memory.
All of them gulped unconsciously as some of them actually mustered their courage and approached Kira hesitantly while sheathing their weapons and bringing their hands in the air as a sign of no ill will.
"U-um, excuse me... Can we know which Familia you are from?" One of them asked bravely.
Kira's glowing red eyes turned to the one who asked much to the anxiousness of all.
"...None," Kira muttered a reply but since it was quiet everyone heard him clearly though believing it was an entire matter entirely but they all thought that what would Kira gain by lying towards them.
Before they could ask again, Kira turned around and headed straight deeper into the dungeon without sparing them another glance.
As soon as they saw him go further away from them, all of them instantly sighed in relief as the tension they were feeling in their bodies fades away bit by bit.
"...Who was that guy, anyway?" One of them couldn't help but break the silence between them.
"I don't really know, though, was he saying the truth that he doesn't belong to any Familia?... Then how did he get so strong without any Falna courtesy from our respective gods?" One of them answered though followed it up with their own question as well.
1
"...Even if he did lie to us… to what end though?... I think we should call this in to the guild when we go back later, maybe they know something," The leader of them suggested to the rest of them.
"Mmm" All of them nodded as they looked at the bloody mess Kira left in his 'fight'.
They have seen a lot of fights with monsters but not as gruesome as this. Seeing this fight, for the first time since they entered the dungeon, they actually felt sorry about the monsters this time.
2
Even from a distance, they saw some Minotaurs were already running away but Kira hunted them down one by one with no mercy.
…
Back to Kira.
He continued his simple 'walk' through the dungeon while occasionally beheading any monsters that come in his way though he noticed as time passes on, Minotaurs from the distance are already keeping their distance from him.
2
It's like they were afraid of little old Kira but he reasoned with himself that it may be due to his new title, Monster Slayer.
After a few more minutes, he finally arrived on the 17th floor in one big room with giant walls all around him though the wall in front of him has a giant humanoid monster within it, staring right back at him.
"Monster Rex, right?... I remember you," Kira muttered as he stepped closer to the wall at the same time it cracked and Monster Rex broke free from it with little effort.
*GGGGRAAAAAaaaaa!!*
It immediately let out a huge roar while facing Kira as it tightens its fists.
"...Vaga…" Kira calmly said as his shadow beneath him engulfed a large part of the room behind him then 5 pairs of red eyes suddenly opened within it. A moment later 6 large heads of a dragon-like monster emerged from it until its whole body came out of his shadow easily towering over Monster Rex.
6
As the head in the middle opened its eyes, it was 5 eyes glowing red eyes looking down on Monster Rex in contempt.
(Image here, courtesy of Google)
28
It looked completely different from his original Hyrda. It all started when Vaga's 66th head emerged, then 10 heads started merging into one as its whole body changed until it became it is now.
7
Monster Rex instantly took a step back in surprise when Vaga appeared. It wanted to roar in defiance but before it could even open its mouth, all of Vaga's head breathed red fire and sent it at Monster Rex.
*Booom!!*
The Monster Rex in front of them instantly died on impact as everyone near that floor heard and felt that explosion. As the smoke clears out, even the magic stone inside of it melted away along with its smoking black limbs.
Kira curiously looked at the color of its soul and he saw it just partially blackened meaning he can't fully awaken it. Even in the years he spent on his Dungeon, Vaga's soul was the only fully blackened soul he ever saw but he can't say he complains about it as he knew it could evolve even further than it is right now.
*ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!*
After taking care of Monster Rex, Vaga let out its usual roar as it reverberated throughout the floors near them. Though this is the reason Kira only lets Vaga come out every once in a while, it will always let out its loudest roar every time it successfully kills its foe.
3
"*Sigh*... keep it down… let's go," Kira muttered as he continued his walk as Vaga instantly merged with his shadow silently until its whole body submerged in it.
Though while Kira was walking away, a bunch of adventurers nearby only saw his departing back heading towards the next floor.
All of them couldn't help but inhale a mouthful of air when they saw the aftermath of the explosion they heard earlier. The wall where Monster Rex usually respawns is partially destroyed, the scattered smoking remains of it all over the place and the wisps of red fire in various places displaying no signs of going out soon was presented to all of them.
After they took a good look everywhere, their eyes couldn't help but look at Kira's departing back and think to themselves how could someone unknown to them be that powerful.
They wanted to question him but all of their courage dissipated when they noticed his shadow morphed into that of a giant dragon's instead then numerous red eyes looked back at them with bloodlust.
3
*Gulped*
1
All of them without exception couldn't help but gulp in nervousness when they saw this. In the end, they only could look at his back as he got further away from them, though they did learn an unspoken rule today and that is, never mess with Kira.
12
(Ok this time, it's my bad... only 2-chapter long)

*Splat*
"N-n-n-no w-w-wait *Gaahh!*"
"NOOO-*Slick*"
In an instant, 3 more died as everyone was still frozen in shock but as they saw their dead comrades, they woke up and brought out their respective weapons.
"YOU!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOU HAVE DONE!!? THE GUILD WILL KNOW OF THIS!!" One of them bravely yelled out as most of them grew their confidence when they reasoned with themselves that their enemy was only one man.

"YEAH! PUNK!! DON'T EVEN THINK YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE ALIVE!!"
"WE'LL CHOP YOU UP AND FEED YOU TO THE F*CKING DOGS!"
"YOU'LL REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LI-*Slick*-FE… Huuhhh..*Thud*"

Both of his head and body touched the ground at the same time as Kira approached the last one but the thing he found strange was someone didn't even take out his weapon, instead, he just raised both of his hands in the air.

Kira didn't stop as he continued to slice up every Minotaur on sight though, at the standpoint of anyone watching this, they would only see a pair of red streaks of light going through all of the Minotaurs.

Anywhere those red lights come through, blood and dead bodies follow it. It even got to the point that some group consisting of Level 2's, puked out their breakfast as soon as they saw the carnage.

The once white-like interior of floor 13 became filled with the color blood red as well as the various black smoking body parts of Minotaurs.
After a few more seconds, Kira finished killing every Minotaur he could see as the ground beneath him was littered with blood though the sight of him standing in the center of it made it a very unforgettable memory.
All of them gulped unconsciously as some of them actually mustered their courage and approached Kira hesitantly while sheathing their weapons and bringing their hands in the air as a sign of no ill will.
"U-um, excuse me... Can we know which Familia you are from?" One of them asked bravely.
Kira's glowing red eyes turned to the one who asked much to the anxiousness of all.
"...None," Kira muttered a reply but since it was quiet everyone heard him clearly though believing it was an entire matter entirely but they all thought that what would Kira gain by lying towards them.
Before they could ask again, Kira turned around and headed straight deeper into the dungeon without sparing them another glance.
As soon as they saw him go further away from them, all of them instantly sighed in relief as the tension they were feeling in their bodies fades away bit by bit.
"...Who was that guy, anyway?" One of them couldn't help but break the silence between them.
"I don't really know, though, was he saying the truth that he doesn't belong to any Familia?... Then how did he get so strong without any Falna courtesy from our respective gods?" One of them answered though followed it up with their own question as well.

"...Even if he did lie to us… to what end though?... I think we should call this in to the guild when we go back later, maybe they know something," The leader of them suggested to the rest of them.
"Mmm" All of them nodded as they looked at the bloody mess Kira left in his 'fight'.
They have seen a lot of fights with monsters but not as gruesome as this. Seeing this fight, for the first time since they entered the dungeon, they actually felt sorry about the monsters this time.

Even from a distance, they saw some Minotaurs were already running away but Kira hunted them down one by one with no mercy.
…
Back to Kira.
He continued his simple 'walk' through the dungeon while occasionally beheading any monsters that come in his way though he noticed as time passes on, Minotaurs from the distance are already keeping their distance from him.

It's like they were afraid of little old Kira but he reasoned with himself that it may be due to his new title, Monster Slayer.
After a few more minutes, he finally arrived on the 17th floor in one big room with giant walls all around him though the wall in front of him has a giant humanoid monster within it, staring right back at him.
"Monster Rex, right?... I remember you," Kira muttered as he stepped closer to the wall at the same time it cracked and Monster Rex broke free from it with little effort.
*GGGGRAAAAAaaaaa!!*
It immediately let out a huge roar while facing Kira as it tightens its fists.
"...Vaga…" Kira calmly said as his shadow beneath him engulfed a large part of the room behind him then 5 pairs of red eyes suddenly opened within it. A moment later 6 large heads of a dragon-like monster emerged from it until its whole body came out of his shadow easily towering over Monster Rex.

As the head in the middle opened its eyes, it was 5 eyes glowing red eyes looking down on Monster Rex in contempt.

It looked completely different from his original Hyrda. It all started when Vaga's 66th head emerged, then 10 heads started merging into one as its whole body changed until it became it is now.

Monster Rex instantly took a step back in surprise when Vaga appeared. It wanted to roar in defiance but before it could even open its mouth, all of Vaga's head breathed red fire and sent it at Monster Rex.
*Booom!!*
The Monster Rex in front of them instantly died on impact as everyone near that floor heard and felt that explosion. As the smoke clears out, even the magic stone inside of it melted away along with its smoking black limbs.
Kira curiously looked at the color of its soul and he saw it just partially blackened meaning he can't fully awaken it. Even in the years he spent on his Dungeon, Vaga's soul was the only fully blackened soul he ever saw but he can't say he complains about it as he knew it could evolve even further than it is right now.
*ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!*
After taking care of Monster Rex, Vaga let out its usual roar as it reverberated throughout the floors near them. Though this is the reason Kira only lets Vaga come out every once in a while, it will always let out its loudest roar every time it successfully kills its foe.

"*Sigh*... keep it down… let's go," Kira muttered as he continued his walk as Vaga instantly merged with his shadow silently until its whole body submerged in it.
Though while Kira was walking away, a bunch of adventurers nearby only saw his departing back heading towards the next floor.
All of them couldn't help but inhale a mouthful of air when they saw the aftermath of the explosion they heard earlier. The wall where Monster Rex usually respawns is partially destroyed, the scattered smoking remains of it all over the place and the wisps of red fire in various places displaying no signs of going out soon was presented to all of them.
After they took a good look everywhere, their eyes couldn't help but look at Kira's departing back and think to themselves how could someone unknown to them be that powerful.
They wanted to question him but all of their courage dissipated when they noticed his shadow morphed into that of a giant dragon's instead then numerous red eyes looked back at them with bloodlust.

*Gulped*

All of them without exception couldn't help but gulp in nervousness when they saw this. In the end, they only could look at his back as he got further away from them, though they did learn an unspoken rule today and that is, never mess with Kira.
