Happy Endings Are Lies - 23 Chapter 22-You'sre the devil!

After making sure that the so-called elite guards were safe, he hurriedly ran towards the forest entrance. Bang! Denear fell to the ground confused. He looked up and saw a tree. ‘Isn’t this the forest of Jara. Wasn’t it like a kilometer away?’ Let me remind you that his agility, which covers speed and other aspects, are over 100 million. So a kilometer is nothing. Even if it was a 100 kilometers or even 1 million, it would not make a difference.

“I need to get used to this.” Denear clutched his stomach. He was feeling like he was about to vomit, he had just broken the sound barrier. On the tree he had bump was a figure of him. He turned around to be utterly shocked. Trees left in splinters, rocks cut in half and plants uprooted. ‘I give up.’ He stood up, dusted himself, and walked with a not caring look while whistling.

Without a care in the world, he walked quite far into the forest.

The scenery as pretty nice. The trees, the sky, the weird looking animals, even those screams. Wait! Screams??!!!! That’s not good!! He looked around, trying to find out where the screams were coming from. ‘That way!’

Since he was not sure of how to adjust his speed, he just walked in a rather fast pace. Voices? Screams? Growling? They were all getting closer and closer. He hid in a nearby bush by a small slope near the end of the mountain.

It was a group of men surrounding 2 unusual figures.

Unknown voice 1: “Heh….. Looks like we found a huge catch today!”

Unknown voice 2: “We’re gonna be rich!!”

Unknown 3: “Let’s get them boys!”

They took out their weapons, showing all types of swords. Some even had bows with deadly arrows behind their back. Denear didn’t really want to get involved since it would be rather troublesome and pointless. Since he was just taking a stroll, it wouldn’t be a problem if he just watched right?

Staying in the bush while not making a sound. He watched the group of men. He wanted to get a clearer view so he used his skill [Eagle’s Eye]. Immediately after activating it, everything in his head was like surveillance monitors. A lot of different screens appeared in his head showing different angles. He could even change where the screen was looking and could zoom in and out if he wanted too. This was basically like a virtual reality (VR) although what he was seeing was not some game program but real life scenes that are taking place.

On one screen he could see them from 5m high up so he got clear views of their faces and weapons. He saw the other screen that had the 2 unusual figures in it. They looked like children, both female, but they had dog-like ears which were both grey. They looked like the same age as him. One of the older looking figures had long silver hair while the other had short. Both of them were dirty and dull and it was obvious that they ran tried to run away from these guys and fell a lot. Both of them were hugging each other tightly, tears flowing down violently while they were hoping for someone to save them.

Both: “SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE US!!”

“This is so cool!” He was starting to get excited to see how well this skill worked and wanted to watch the “fun” and sit back and relax in the bush. He was sad for them a little but he would not change his principles.

However, that all changed…..Because of a single passing thought, the group of men did not know that they would be facing their doom and that it would be the last time they would ever see daylight.

Unknown 5: “Hey guys!” Everyone looked towards him. “While I just scouted the area, there are some guards in the plains and they are sleeping undefended. I figured it was someone rich because of all the guards. But anyways, when I used my scope to see the flag banner on the carriage guess what I found out!”

Unknown 4: “Spill it already!”

Unknown 5: “The carriage belonged to the esteemed Cornelius Family!! This is our chance to get revenge no? To pay back the lives of our countless brethren being killed throughout the years! What are we waiting for! Let’s wrap up here quickly and go avenge our bandit brothers!!” He raised his sword in the air. Everyone else did the same while showing so many different emotions.

However, this was it. In a split second, everyone felt a sudden pain. They had not time to react. Something was being thrown by someone, and it just broke the sound barrier. BAM!! BAM!! BAM!! One by one, each of their heads were penetrated by a blunt object, killing them in an instant, leaving no room for screams. Each of them fell to the floor and the only one left alive was the man who had just explained about revenge or something.

Seeing his comrades dead in an instant without even getting the chance to scream terrified him to the very bone. His legs were shaking so much that it would look like it was about to break any second. The sword he was holding a was furiously shaking as well. What had he done to provoke such a monster to appear?

“W-W-W-What d-do you w-want from m-me?” He said almost pissing himself. “W-Why w-was I t-t-the o-only one s-s-spared?” He shaking like crazy and forced himself to speak. His face was filled with fear, one that surpassed anything you can ever imagine. His ruined and scared face would make him very displeasing to look at.

Denear looked at him with deadly cold eyes and with an expressionless face. He was thinking if he should answer him but decided he should just for the sake of it. “Nothing, but the moment you talked about revenge on my family I couldn’t just let you go. And why did I spare you for now? Well, that’s cause I wanted to see what face…….”

Denear looked totally like a bad guy right now. Denear stood in front of him walking closer and closer until their faces were about 3 inches apart. Denear’s lips curled upwards and broke into what you could say was the most evilest smile in all historyand continued to finish his sentence, “…….you would make if your comrades, whom you trusted and fought along side with, are killed by a mere kid in a very despicable way. Besides….” Denear retracted his face from the endlessly shaking guy (bandit) and stood up straight.

“I wanted to experiment on you so that this whole trip won’t be pointless.” After he said that, the ground shook in the entire forest. The ground where the man stood began to crack and open. Even the places where his comrades dead bodies were started to crack and open up to a seemingly endless pit. Black arms which were coming from the pit grabbed them and pulled them into the pit. As for him, the arms did not pull him immediately but instead just held him in mid-air at the center if the pit. The radius of the pit was 5 meters so it was not really that big.

The poor guy wanted to scream but couldn’t because the black see through arms that were like mist, was covering his mouth. Denear just stood by the pit as he thought. ‘This looks endless. I wanna experiment more!’ Denear then tried spells on the guy. He froze half of his body using ice. Then he made lava fill up the entire pit, almost touching the restrain guy. He found out the lava he had just summoned from the ground was the same heat, or even stronger, than the ones found in a volcano which is like 1,300 to 2,200 F.

The guy was screaming and crying his eyes out. Too bad his tears didn’t last long enough because the lava was there. Next, Denear wanted to see if he’d survive if he was dipped in lava while at the same time drowning, so Denear commanded the black arms to lower him from his neck down into the lava. He then summoned a ball of water floating in mid-air and commanded it to be placed on the guy’s head (His head is inside the water). His neck down was burning hot lava while neck up was freezing cold drowning water. Denear constantly used his [Heal] skill (He only used a very weak version he made-up), which he got as a sub skill from [Medicine] when it got high enough, to make sure he would not die quickly but would still feel the pain.1….2….3….4….5….6….9….15…18….20…24….28…..30.

Th guy lasted 30 seconds which was kinda disappointing since a child could probably do that, but considering the circumstances, it was pretty good he supposed. He then dispelled the water and lifted him out of the lava with his magic. The man was trying hard to breathe through his nose. Tsk….Tsk….Tsk…Poor guy, it would have been better if he was already dead. Fortunately for him, only one more tortu…..er….. experiment to go!

Void magic was what Denear wanted to try last since it would probably kill him. Void magic fell under the skill [Elemental Possession] and was not a sub skill. Though [Elemental Possession] is mainly about the main 4 elements, the sub skills consisted of other elements that originated from the 4 elements or came from some where else entirely. Anyways, void magic is what Denear wanted to try the most.

Removing the black arms from the man’s mouth with his magic, he said, “Any last words?”

The man with little bit of strength he had, said, “You’re the devil!” In the man’s mind, this kid in front of him was simply the DEVIL!! A DEMON SENT FROM HELL!! he envied his comrades who actually died quickly and painlessly.

Denear was not surprised at all and finished chanting (though he’s chantless). A black hole appear on the man’s stomach and immediately sucked him in with leaving a trace. Denear then closed the hole he had made with the lava in it, never for it to be seen. It was as if the lava/never-ending pit never existed. Denear sighed but smiled a very achieving smile……..
