Solo Cultivation in The Apocalypse

Kamiya raised his hand. "Flame—"

Onogi fired a bullet in Kamiya's shoulder, he fell into the puddle, and the fire blazed above Onogi.

Kuzu shook his arm,  a blade slid into his hand, then he threw it at Kamiya.

The blade stabbed Kamiya's hand and pinned it into the mud. Kamiya would have pulled it, but the pain could not let him.

Onogi stepped forward and landed a roundhouse kick in Kamiya's jaw. He fell into the pond, banging his head against the water.

His right hand bounced up as he went back, Onogi leaped to grab his hand. He stepped back and stretched his arm.

Kuzu drew the long blade, clenched it in his right, and tore Kamiya's hand in a blink of an eye.

Kamiya screamed at the top of his lungs. Blood gushed from his arm, he flapped his limbs helplessly. He wondered if his shouts even reached anyone.

He fell on his back after Onogi kicked him in the chest and threw his detached arm on the other side.

Kuzu threw his legs, he was over Kamiya, and his legs were on his side. He brought the blade and stopped it over Kamiya's chest.

"Kamiya, you can not die yet."

He created a tiny hole in the cloak, then he pulled the blade down to the end. He tore his clothes, then got up, and grabbed Kamiya's cloak and robes.

Kuzu jerked his arm. The blade that pinned Kamiya's hand snapped and flew in the air as Kamiya jolted into the air. Kuzu jerked again and took Kamiya's clothes off.

He could see Kamiya's skinny body, the body of a man who did not eat enough for days just t feed his sister. His bones around the chest were visible, he had no abs, but he was flat.

Kamiya dug his hand in the water, blood mixed with the brown mud, and changed the water's color. He groaned as he tried to push his body up.

Onogi kicked him in the nape. Kamiya sipped the mud again. "Kuzu!" Onogi shouted.

Kuzu jumped on Kamiya's backbone. He jumped again and left his body to the gravitation. He handed on Kamiya's back.

He raised his blade, he was holding it upside down, then smashed Kamiya's backbone with the handle.

Kamiya screamed, his voice did not even reach the walls this time.

Kuzu cracked Kamiya's spine over and over till Kamiya stopped shouting. The last time Kuzu checked, his spine was smashed to pieces– like a hammer banging glass over and over.

Kuzu was panting himself. He took a deep breath to control his exhaustion. He got up and away from Kamiya's body.

Onogi walked by his side and stretched his hand. Kuzu reached for his back, pulled wires out of nowhere, and handed them to Onogi. "Let us get him ready."

Kuzu took a wire from Onogi's hand and charged at Kamiya, he was about to commit a murder, yet his eyes were emotionless as if it did not bother him at all.

He acted as if he was doing a daily home chore– boring but needs to be completed– only he was not acting, he was doing.

He sat on Kamiya's back again. His hands spread around Kamiya's head, he clenched his hair and pulled his head.

Kuzu leaned forward and pushed the wire into Kamiya's mouth. Kamiya tried to push the wires but Kuzu's arm strength surpassed his tongue strength.

Kuzu tied the wire in his mouth and took it to the back of his head– where the copper was pointing out.

Kamiya knew he had to struggle, he threw fire, but one chop from Kamiya was enough to silence him.

Kuzu grabbed Kamiya's only hand, he brought his blade to his wrist, and with a slash, Kamiya's wrist fell in the puddle.

The pain woke up Kamiya. He sensed the pain and screamed. His voice was rough– not anything like his usual voice. Blood flowed like crazy from his cut wrist.

While Kuzu was busy strangling Kamiya, Onogi was done setting an electric voltage machine behind him. This wire was connected to the electric fence that had a voltage of around a thousand volts.

When the wire in Onogi's hand connects with the wire in Kamiya's mouth, the shock would flow.

Onogi rose from the darkness. "Broke his legs," he said, "Make sure he can not walk… or even crawl."

Kuzu lifted his hand and landed a chop on Kamiya's knees. His bones cracked. This pain was nothing compared to the pain of having your arm detached.

Kuzu grabbed the copper and threw it at Onogi. "Masao-san!" he shouted.

Onogi grabbed the wire and let them in front of each other. He stopped. The wires went too close to each other, and electricity sparked from them.

Onogi pulled them away and glanced at Kuzu, he was standing away from Kamiya, being aware of the water.

"Do it from a distance. You know it."

Onogi nodded. He stepped back. Kuzu took a step back, too. He studied Kamiya's body, he was lying dead.

"Oh, wait!" Kuzu raised his hand. He ran towards Kamiya.

Kamiya moved on his stomach, Kuzu leaned and grabbed his blade from the mud. He raised it at Onogi. "I missed this."

Onogi nodded. "Come back here."

Kamiya pulled his tongue out of the wire's grasp, then he dipped his mouth in the mud, and he licked it furiously.

Kuzu took a step to run when suddenly he felt something tangle with his leg and he fell over his face.

Kamiya used his abdomen to rise from the ground, he rolled on his back and reached Kuzu even before Onogi could realize what was happening.

Kamiya was a foot away from Kuzu. He used his no-wrist arm to push against the ground, then he felt his hips press against Kuzu's butt.

Kamiya rolled him over Kuzu and the next moment, he was sitting over Kuzu's back. He leaned towards his neck, Kuzu felt something point against his neck.

"Do not move. It does not take long to cast a spear through your neck," Kamiya said. His voice was muffled and sounded like he was talking with something in his mouth.

Indeed, there was something in his mouth– it was his wand– the wand he licked from the mud.

Onogi had processed the situation by now, he took a step when Kuzu shouted, "No! Stay away!" He shook his head.

"I would have given you an easy death– you know, a spear through your neck– but no… you do not deserve it."

Kuzu nodded. "Just like you do not deserve an easy death. Tengoku must have killed Hitori by now. We will kill your GIRLFRIEND Reonine for betraying her love interest– right?"

Kamiya was not aware of what misunderstanding Kuzu had created.

"But we will not kill Akemi. I want her to cry her eyes out, I want her to die from grief."

"Oh, you devil."

Onogi closed his mouth, he said, "You see, I do not hurt the people who are already hurt. They can not fight back."

"I am hurt, Hitori is hurt—"

"But you pieces of shit can fight," Kuzu grunted.

"Oh…" Kamiya dropped his head.

"Do you think you will be able to hold Kuzu down with your weight—"

Kamiya interrupted Onogi and said, "Oh, you better know this…" Kamiya jerked his head, and the wand touched his nose. "Akemi-nee-chan, sure as fuck, can give you hell." He smiled.
