Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent - Chapter 53

Days by days.

Her condition worsened with each second.

Her moods and even her emotions… surged like a hurricane inside her heart. With the touch of redness from Hiro’s prior deeds.

Shutting herself up inside her room. The curtain was closed as she huddled up in a blanket. Shivering… and shivering…

Trembling of what she couldn’t control as if she had lost the sense of humanity inside her body.

And added in with those whispers of darkness next to her ears. Every time… and everywhere. She can’t escape it…

” You are a monster… ”

” You killed your friends… ”

” You lived inside your lies… ”

” Kill… that is all you are capable of”

These words…

Crushed her sanity to the lowest point of what a person could handle. Bitting her fingers as she shuddered away on the corner.

Her eyes shifted around at a rapid pace with her body trembling at all times. Rough breathing and sweaty palms.

“N-no… I-i didn’t kill my friends… I am not a monster… ”

“I am a human… I-i don’t kill. I’m a good person”

She murmured on her own with a crazy look on her face. Denying those whispers of darkness with her very last stand of sanity.

Her clothes were drenched in sweat as she mumbled on her own from time to time.

” You are lying to yourself… lies lies lies lies lies”

“No! I am not a liar… I’m a good person!. I am a human!”

“Lies… lies… lies… lies… lies… ”

“No! I’m a human… please stop!… please stop!!!!”

“Lies… lies… lies… lies…”

“STOPP!!!!!!”

*cracked*

Her words finally halted with the sudden noise.

“Huh?”

Shifted her gaze with a thunderstruck look.

There she saw it… her friend’s head lying around right in front of her.

The moment her eyes met with the other.

*Dum!*

Her heart stretched in like a ball. Seemingly to be grasped and clenched by a large hand…

Her mouth was wide unwrapped as she clasped her head with both hands on the side.

“Nooo… this can’t be happening… I-I am not a killer… I… I don’t kill my friends”

” Lies… lies… lies… lies… ”

“No… please stop…. ”

“Lies… lies… you are a liar… ”

“Please…. save me!!. Someone!.”

Her tears flowed down like a river as her sanity was slowly rusting away into dust.

The room was quiet other than her grasp of despair. The blurry vision of illusion as the sun shone through the tiny gaps of the window. Everything doesn’t seem to be right…

Everything…

” is calling me a monster…?”

“B-but I’m a human… I’m still… me… ”

She mumbled…

*clap!*

The perspective was suddenly cut off with a clap. Shrouded in darkness as the fire had finally accepted death.

–

*creaked*

The door was finally pushed open as a figure walked out of it.

Draped in torn clothing of the past with her long hair of redness swaying behind. The eyes hollowed out of humanity with the touch of gloom… and even an “X” symbol inside it.

Though… she doesn’t seem to notice it yet…

“I’m hungry… ”

She mumbled in a hoarse voice.

Slowly stepped away towards the street as she passed by the garden of her house on both sides. The fence and finally to the opened abandoned world…

“… It’s hot?”

She said… as she flung her hand up against the sun. Blocking the heat from her face.

But the moment she stepped her presence upon the wide street.

Gazes of worries and also fears were tossed about by those onlookers. From walking around of their matter to noticing her strange appearance that doesn’t seem to be “human”.

” Mom… look at that sister… she looks sick”

“D-dont point at her!. Let’s go now… hurry.”

“Look at her… is she sick?. ”

“I don’t know… but her hair is so red. Is she even a human?. and what’s with that weird symbol in her eyes?. ”

“Let’s report it first to the authorities… maybe this is something that we shouldn’t mess with… ”

“I agree… b-but maybe she needs our help?. ”

“What are you talking about… if you want to help her then go for it. I don’t want to get in any unnecessary trouble”

The mindset had been set. If a weird person emerged among the populace then our first reaction would be “what should we do?” “should we interfere?” and such.

Though…

We can’t blame them for such thoughts.

Her appearance was too odd to be among the normal. The hair appeared to be dyed in blood with her eyes devoid of any human-like characteristics.

Walking past those people as she eventually reached a large intersection area in the middle. Tall buildings all around with crowded humans in the middle walking about.

Sadly enough…

“Run!!… a monster!”

” What a monster!!!”

“Run!!!”

Chaos and disorder movement.

People swarmed away with her presence as eventual groups of armed men with guns appeared one after another. Creating a blockage of C shaped in front of her with their large shield.

“Halt!!!… do not move!”

“Do not move monster!”

“Stay your foot!”

One by one… they shouted in vigilance as the crowds behind them stared upon this occurrence in fear. Fear of the unknown…

As for Saya?.

Her eyes appeared to be tired of those words…

” … I’m not a monster… ”

She muttered with a rough voice…

“W-what?… ”

” Don’t listen to that thing”

Those armed men responded…

Some doubted those words while some thought of them as possibilities. Though would they dare to gamble on it?.

It’s like a person holding up a gun to your head with those words of “I don’t have any bullet”. Anyone?… is there any human who would be daring enough to test that theory?. None…

” Please… I need help. ”

“Please save me… it hurts. It hurts so bad… ”

“I don’t know what to do… ”

She screamed in agony as she walked slowly towards them. Her eyes bleed red with her hair swaying behind unevenly. Extending and even her body appeared to be coated in red energy.

” S-stop there first!… we will help you soon. Please stay there for a moment”

One of the officers couldn’t help but shout first.

His face was crammed in fear since Saya’s current appearance differed extremely from before.

” Please… help. It hurts… It hurt so much. I’m not a monster. I’m a human… please. ”

“Please… ”

*drips*

A bead of teary blood finally trickled itself onto the ground. With the gulping sound of their throats in dismay and also worries. Not knowing what will happen next…

As for the reason why she was in such an agony?. Her body felt like burning from the inside… as if her organs and even fleshes were being cooked alive next to a sun.

Every movement and every second. It was an endless torment physically and mentally. Added in with those whispers that periodically appeared from time to time. What a life one could say…

–

“Host… multiple powerful energy is constantly approaching the human girl at a fast speed. It is advised for the host to cut off the energy connection with the human body to avoid any unwanted circumstances ”

Suddenly

Back inside the lake.

The system voice trembled inside Hiro’s mind. Warning him of an upcoming danger in the human city. This without a doubt piqued his curiosity.

” Powerful energy?… are they ancient level strength or?”

“Ding… All of them are demi Ancient experts. ”

The system responded.

” I see… transfer their information to me. ”

“Ding… require 100k thousand points”

“Do it… ”

With a surge of thought.

A string of information instantly carved its way into his mind. All of the information regarding these so-called “demi ancient level experts” that were coming for the little toy that he adored.

It was simply a brief second for him to comprehend all of it.

“Hoo?… the dark order lackeys and a few of the 10 divine seats of the human empire?. Interesting.”

He slowly said with a playful tone.

Knowing that these humans initial purpose by coming here was to hunt him down. But instead, fate had resulted in a different path.

The sudden appearance of Saya’s energy in the middle of the city immediately attracted all of them. Rushing to the intersection from before at a rapid speed.

” Since they have come for me… why not give them a little gift as hello?. Hahaha!. System transfer all of my energy inside that toy of mine”

“Ding… alert!. Host energy will instantly destroy the human body. It is advice-”

“Use points then… ”

“…”

Hearing the command.

The system ceased in motion for a second as eventually.

“Deduct 10 million points to change the human body to sustain host energy?”

“Do it… hahaha… ”

“This will be a wonderful experience!”

Hiro smiled… as his eyes glowed in sacred emerald light inside this depth of darkness.

A battle shall happen and it will be quite a glorious one.
