Demon Lord's Reincarnation - Chapter 666: Our own choices

Re’ Khe Hata enjoyed torturing the human for a few hours but after a while, he got bored so he killed it.

“Well, torturing someone is kinda fun as they beg but giving up almost immediately felt a little boring. I wonder if the other humans are as fun as her.”

Re’ Khe Hata looked at the deformed shape of the girl he tortured and shrugged his shoulders as he left the bunker.

…

Unaware of what happened the other students had found their hiding spots and kept hidden hoping that the Re’ Khe Hata would not find them, the other students found weapons cold weapons, and firearms. Upon gaining weapons the students’ confidence soared and they felt like they could defeat the New God and escape this world.

While those students were trying their best to hide or prepare some sort of ambush Erste’s group was looking around trying to find those people the New God Re’ Khe Hata called pests. So for now they were looking to find something like a radio station to see if they can somehow contact the other party.

…

Re’ Khe Hata headed to the next most likely place the students will hide which was in the sewers, but before he could head there he was confronted by several students who were armed with swords and guns. Seeing this scene made Re’ Khe Hata chuckle since it reminded him of the fastest recorded hunt he had.

“Hey you f*cking b*stard, you’re the freak that sent us here, right? I don’t care what kind of fake god you are I don’t believe you won’t die after being filled with lead.”

The students holding guns pointed them at Re’ Khe Hata at a glance it was obvious that these kids have never held a gun before as their way of holding the gun was laughable. Re’ Khe Hata couldn’t help himself as he chuckled looking at the students playfully.

“Well, I guess it is right to say those guns and swords can indeed do some damage to me, but even in my handicapped state I don’t believe that any of you will be able to actually hit me.”

“Who are you trying to scare!” One of the students could no longer hold back his fear as he started shooting. The student couldn’t control the gun he was holding as he was surprised by the recoil still a few of the shots were straight. As the bullets were about to hit Re’ Khe Hata a sudden burst of flame erupted burning the bullets into ashes. Seeing this scene the students were dumbfounded.

“You see, even if those weapons can somehow harm me it’s useless since you can’t even hit me.”

The students unconsciously backed away as the fear they were holding back slowly crept into their very souls. Re’ Khe Hata then took a step this was all it took for the minds of some of the other students to collapse as they lay on the ground in fear, the others started screaming and shouting while shooting at Re’ Khe Hata but the same as before the bullets were burned into ashes before reaching the target.

“You people have shown me such a funny play and successfully amused me. Which is why I decided to give you the luxury of picking the way you die. Do you want to die by burn by my flames, do you want to die by being pierced by my hands, how about making you fall into the abyss? There are so many ways to die so tell me how do you humans want to die?”

The response Re’ Khe Hata got was simply screams and a hail of bullets. Seeing them act like that Re’ Khe Hata shrugged his shoulders. “Chef’s choice I guess.”

…

The other students who were hiding in different places could hear the sound of gunfire and soul-shaking screams. They could not imagine what horrible things were happening to their fellow classmates, still, no one had the courage to help them.

Erste had a momentary urge to go and help his screaming classmates but he held himself back as he thought of the three who were with him. These three had trusted him to bring them back home, if he went and tried to help what would happen to these three?

‘Still, something inside me is screaming at me wanting me to go and fight. The more I stay in this weird place the harder it is to control this urge for battle… No, I need to keep a calm mind, I need to protect these three and… I’m so close to finding her…’

Erste and his group continued onward trying to find any trace of the so-called pest the New God spoke of. While they walked they kept on hearing the horrendous screams of the other students. Miguel and Tala were a little unnerved hearing those screams as they walked behind Erste. Miguel even wanted to start sprinting toward the screaming students to try and do something, but in the end, he could not do so.

‘Sh*t life really is a f*cking sh*tty video game and I’m a sh*tty character.’

Nikki who was walking in the rear was frowning deeply. She didn’t really want to leave anyone behind. Back when they were trying to decide what to do, she wanted Erste to forcefully lead everyone to make them join him.

Now hearing the screams of the other students she had the urge to tell Erste that his decision to leave them behind was wrong. Even though she knew that complaining wouldn’t help she still wanted to do it.

‘No, I decided to follow him I should not question his decision or the decision of those guys… Even if they did follow us would we really be able to survive?… No, I got to stop thinking like that, I just need to do the best I can given the situation. I hope the others can last long enough for us to find help…’

While Erste’s group was deep into their own thoughts about the situation they finally arrived at a radio station.
