Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 304: Find Five
Pablo was being himself.
He was in his element.
He knew how to kill and he was doing just that.
First he killed the barking soldier who wanted his attention. So Pablo gave him such attention that the soldier would not even come in front of the gods after dying.
Then he killed the former Marshal, Vladimir. Pablo got to know that the man was screaming revenge and would not waste any chance to kill Pablo.
So obviously, Pablo wouldn't want that. And the man also didn't have an Ego that Pablo found worthy of keeping forever. Hence, he killed the former Marshal as well. The less nuisance the better for him.
Right now, all the remaining soldiers couldn't take their eyes off Pablo. They witnessed two murders in front of their eyes.

Pablo wiped the blood from his sword but he didn't clean the blood from his face.
"Is there anyone else who wants to defy me?" He asked all the ninety six soldiers in front of him.
Flashy and Draxus were already with him.
The soldiers flinched. Pablo's bloodied face and his act of severing heads stitched in their minds.
"No wonder you were able to kill that Demon." One soldier said.
Pablo squinted his eyes. "Boris?"
"You know me?"
"Yes. I know all of you."
Pablo had memorized their faces and names after all.
"But do you know who you killed?" Another soldier asked.
"Does it matter?" Pablo said.
"The second kill doesn't matter but the first kill…" Boris spoke but he didn't finish his sentence.
"First kill? This soldier? What of him?"
"Don't you know his father?" Another soldier chimed in.
"I don't. Why the hell would I care about your fathers?"
"Well, actually, his father is…" Boris spoke and with a little pause, he said :
"The Second Marshal."
'Of course.'
Pablo sighed in the air.
Out of all people, Pablo killed the son of a Marshal who hated him the most. Luther.
"What was his son doing here?" Pablo asked.
"He was recruited here. He was saying that his dad sent him here just to harass you. We were really interested to see how you will deal with him and well, we didn't expect that." Boris explained and now Pablo figured the reason for the horrified expressions on the soldiers' faces.
They were not afraid of Pablo, they were afraid that Pablo killed the son of the second Marshal.
Shaking his head, he ran his thoughts to all the possibilities that could occur from here and in the end, Pablo arrived at a conclusion.
"It is what it is. He shouldn't have sent his son here."
Pablo ignored the dead bodies and focused on the ninety six soldiers.
"Let me tell you something, everyone." He said.
Everyone listened.
"Don't think I killed this soldier because I didn't know who his father was."
Pablo gazed at each soldier.
"Even if I knew who his father was, the way this soldier was acting, I would have killed him anyway. What I am saying is…"
Pablo stepped forward.
"Between hundred rebellious soldiers and one loyal cadet, I will choose the loyal one any day."
"Yes. It's understandable." Boris replied, standing straight.
Pablo nodded.
"Those are with me, stand behind me. And no need to follow me out of fear. If you genuinely want me, only then stand behind me. Those who do not like me can stay in front of me. I will not say anything to them and they are free to leave."
The soldiers looked at each other, not sure what to do.
Pablo killed two soldiers who were not all that loyal to him so if they also rebelled they might die too. But if they followed him out of fear then Pablo would get to know it and he would kill them either way.
What to do?
"If we stand behind you, how will you make sure that we didn't do it out of fear?" One soldier asked.
Pablo looked at him. "If you have fear, then you weren't an Abyssal Butcher to begin with."
The soldier's eyes widened. Pablo was right.
Since when did Abyssal Butchers start being afraid? This lack of fear was the thing that made the Abyssal Butchers more dangerous than others in the first place.
"If you people stand behind me, then I will be certain that you did it out of your will. Because I know, Abyssal Butchers don't do anything out of fear."
"Yeahh!"
"That's right!"
"I am not afraid of anyone!"
The soldiers got their vigor back. They weren't afraid of Pablo killing them or any other soldier whose father was a big shot. They would handle anything.
Pablo liked the scene and his eyes fell on the former Marshal's dead body.
Then he frowned.
'He is dead, right? So why hasn't the notification of his Ego disappearance hasn't come yet?'
After the death, a person's Ego disappeares along with them. So when Pablo killed Vladimir, the system didn't notify him about his Ego disappearance.
[ You still have his Ego. ]
Pablo raised his brows.
[ After the upgrade of Mimesis Malefica, you can keep any copied Egoes for twelve hours. Whether the original owner is alive or not. ]
'So I still have the Xplosion Ego?'
[ Yes. ]
Pablo smiled. 'Neat.'
He again focused on the energised soldiers.
"So are you all with me? Because you will have a hell of a lot of fun if you join me."
"Will we get to wreak havoc?"
"Will we get to fuck?"
"Will we get to Murder?"
Pablo grinned.
"You will get to live as a God, you bastards!"
"Then we are in!"
All the soldiers cheered and they all dashed to stand behind Pablo.
He befriended all the soldiers. They all just wanted to let loose and Pablo would let them do that as well.
Pablo stepped forward and turned around, facing all the soldiers again.
"Alright. First things first.. I will give you your first mission."
"Let's go!"
The soldiers hyped up and Pablo would finally get what he wanted for a long time.
He was finally in the Abyssal Butchers and he can finally do that.
Staring at the soldiers, especially at Draxus, he said :
"I want you all to find five Abyssal Butchers. As fast as you can."
