Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy had found Lilim within a second and teleported to her. He had learned a new ability to teleport where he could teleport to the people he had marked, just like the places.

However, that ability didn't work on humans. Lilim was a demon, and it only worked on her. It should also work with races such as vampires, but not on humans.

Of course, he had tried marking Rebecca, Jessica, and Elena, but he couldn't teleport to them. He could still use his 'find my prey' ability to locate them, but nothing more.

At first, Rudy couldn't figure out the reason why it didn't work on humans, but after researching for a while, he came to the conclusion that humans didn't have the power to hold his 'mark' in their bodies.

He was marking their souls, which couldn't be touched as they had no physical form. Hence, he couldn't find a connection between his mark and his teleportation ability. But that wasn't the case with other races whose bodies could hold their mark because of their different physique.

Lilim had already taken care of all the men, and only the leader was left alive. She was going to kill him too, but when she sensed another demon's presence that was much more powerful than hers, she decided to hide in the dark.

Unbeknownst to her, that the presence was of Rudy's rage, which she had never sensed or seen before.

Since Rudy's body had been malfunctioning and leaking his power out, he decided to change his demon form— although that form only had horns. Still, that made his body a little robust to hold his powers within his body.

When the leader threw the grenade in the dark, Rudy picked it up in his hand and slowly walked out of the darkness. However, the grenade was no longer in his hand.

It was in his mouth.

"...!" The leader was shocked and thought he had won as the grenade blew Rudy's head.

However, when the grenade exploded in Rudy's mouth, nothing happened.

"Hmm~" Rudy hummed in amusement as he let out a cloud of smoke from his mouth, making it seem like he just had a shot of a cigarette.

He threw the grenade particles from his mouth and said, "So I am invulnerable, even from the insides, huh?"

"Wh-What are you?!" The leader continuously fired his gun at Rudy, but it seemed as though he was throwing beans at him.

Needless to say, Rudy was unscathed.

Rudy stopped in front of the leader and said, "You shouldn't yell like a little girl, you know?"

The leader stepped back and tried to run, but he tripped and fell down, or so it seemed like, but in truth, his legs were cleaved by Rudy, and he could no longer run, let alone walk.

"How dare you kidnap kids? What are you, a monster?!" Rudy lifted the leader while choking his neck. He looked into the leader's eyes and uttered, "People like you are a worthless burden to this universe. Even the existence of ants is more important compared to you."

Rudy pulled a grenade from the leader's belt and stuffed it in the leader's mouth. The leader's eyes widened as his face showed nothing but fear.

He tried to spit the grenade out of his mouth, but Rudy had stuffed it deep into his throat.

"Go. To. Hell… bitch!"

Rudy threw the leader into the air as his body exploded into pieces.

SIGH!

Rudy let out a short sigh and turned to Lilim, who was still hiding in the dark.

"Are you okay?"

Lilim came out of the dark and hugged Rudy.

"I was so scared… daddy."

"Why?"

"Because they were the bad guys… and I killed them…" she muttered. "Am I a bad person too?"

"Listen, there is no need to be afraid of bad guys. There is a vast difference between bad people and evil people. And you are neither of them. You don't have to be afraid of anything.

You have to be fearless like daddy, alright?" Rudy patted Lilim on the head and said, "You are already so strong. And strong people never fear the weak."

"Now, let's get the kids out of here and—!"

Suddenly, an armed car came dashing into the warehouse, breaking the warehouse door. The car's speed increased as it tried to run over Rudy, who was standing in the middle.

But of course, that was a stupid move by the Boss, who had been banging on the door all that time.

Rudy swiped his finger in the air and cut the car into two but kept the Boss alive as he wanted to give him a painful death. However, he was left speechless when he saw that the Boss was none other than Rusher's father— the leader of the Ross Syndicate.

"What the…. fuck?!" Rudy grabbed the Boss by the collar and raised him in the air. "So the underworld was behind this? Don't tell me the deaths in the forest were you doing too?"

"Who… are you…" the Boss managed to utter.

"Oh, it doesn't matter who I am. You should care more about what I am going to do with you! You pathetic piece of shit! Kidnapping kids and killing the innocents? What the fuck is wrong with you?

I know you were total garbage, but to stoop so low? Honestly, I am disappointed. And I truly, truly wish I could crush your skull and kill you right here, right now! But unfortunately, I cannot do that!"

The Boss had finally noticed the horns on Rudy's forehead after his eyes got adjusted to the darkness in the warehouse.

"You are a… demon."

"That's right! I am a demon" Rudy crushed to the boss' shoulder and said, "I will let you live, but don't be relieved. I will come for you after eighteen years and drag you to hell to where you belong!

Take a look at my face and remember it. It's the face of a demon who is going to kill you for everything you have done in your life! Live in fear and watch your shoulder. Every time you are alone or in the dark, I will be watching you!"

He said in a rather demonic voice like never before, as though his inner demon was speaking for him.
