****

Hey guys, this chapter is darker than usual, read at your own risk! This might cause you to have a horrifying nightmare at night!

“Just kill me, you bastard!”

“Not so fast! You got to pay for your crimes,” Elliot said, a crazy smile plastered on his face. It was a crazy smile, something less like a smile and more like a cry for help. The first time he took a human life, he realized that he didn’t feel any nausea like so many others, nor did he feel any apprehension, fear, or bad at killing someone.

In contrast to a sane person, he only felt happiness and satisfaction. Maybe he was like this because the school instructor taught him how to kill the in school, taught him how to fight from a young age, or because his classmates bullied him so much and the instructor silently watched from the sidelines, occasionally taunting him, beating and suppressing him so much that he ended developing a twisted personality, something that he didn’t know existed till he got blood on his hands for the first time, that he realized he was no longer sane.

Although he knew that his twisted personality took pleasure in hurting others, he knew he had enough willpower to never harm an innocent.

So, he didn’t want help, and he didn’t want to undergo therapy and let someone give him consulting to help himself.

No!

In this crazy world, he wanted to be the king of caries, a wild and untamed guy that kills whoever crosses his ways, defy his rule, or goes against him.

Curtis was one such person.

Elliot then continued to shatter his remaining bones, relishing the process, enjoying to his heart’s content.

Although Curtis was a magician in the fifth level of the channel opening stage, having a lifespan of more than 500 hundred years, his vitality far surpassed thousands of humans, so he managed to endure through the shattering of all the bones in his body, still breathing. However, not as vigorously as before.

“You sure are tenacious, still alive although you’ve no bones left in your body, only thousands of bone shards impaling into your flesh, energy channels, and internal organs,” Elliot said, praising Curtis’s will to live.

An instant after he said those words, Curtis’s voice sounded in his ears.

“The great serpentine devil won’t forgive you.”

Saying those words to a sadist who doesn’t give a fuck about the world, was the worst mistake of his life.

“Don’t worry, I will make sure to give your colleagues and it a free ride to hell,” Elliot said, intent on killing him in the worst way possible.

The only way for Curtis to pay the price for his crime in this life was to die from a way far worse than a death by a thousand cuts!

Elliot smiled, causing Curtis to tremble vigorously. He could feel that he was about to do something terrifying, his instinct told him that. He would have bit his tongue to hasten his death, but he didn’t have teeth!

A large amount of golden energy surged out of Elliot’s body, splitting into thousands of silk-like golden threads, which wrapped around Curtis’s Body.

“Feel fear filling you up till you breathe your last! Remember this death, and if you get to live a second life then don’t forget to contribute to society to repent for your crimes!” Elliot said cliche words that he heard many righteous nut heads saying in web novels, snapping his finger while saying those words, causing the thousands of threads to tighten around him, sending thousands of electric shook directly to Curtis pain, overloading it with pain, frying it to mush!

In the blink of an eye, the threads shredded Curtis into thousands of pieces, creating a bloody mess in the alleyway.

<You’ve killed a low ranking demon worshipper>

<Congratulations! You’ve received a bonus for hunting a demon worshiper for the first time. Having killed a demon worshiper for the first time, you have fulfilled a condition set by the Northern Duke of Dark Starlight to obtain an additional reward>

<You’ve gained ten celestial coins>

<You can use them in the store to purchase items>

<Store: Sealed>

<Reach level 10 to unseal>

<You can extract the essence of life from the thousands of pieces of his flesh, blood, and organs!>

“I am not too far away from reaching the next evolutionary stage,” Elliot thought before he ordered his undead slave to devour Curtis’s flesh.

<Undead Slave C has devoured Curtis, a magician in the fifth level of the channel opening stage, to increase its potential to the fifth stage of the demonic realm and its level to the first stage of the demonic realm>

<Congratulation! The Undead Slave C have also acquired the superpower, curse of suppression>

[Superpower: Curse of Suppression

Effect: Undead Slave C can use it on everybody in his line of sight, decreasing their strength, stamina, and agility by a huge margin. The more physically powerful the target is from the user, the lesser the effect of the skill. If the target is around two times more physically powerful than the user then the skill won’t have any effect.]

“You’re powerful enough to be given a name. From now on, you’ll be known as Kayn, the first of my sadistic kin!” Elliot said, naming the Undead Slave C as Kayn.

“AWOOOOO!” Kayn howled out in excitement, happy to have gained a name.

“Okay, now it’s time for you to go and rest,” Elliot said, recalling the monster back into the subspace of the Undead King’s Requiem.

He walked towards Lisa, who stood still, looking at him coming close to her in silence in horror.

“Honestly tell me, are you scared of me?” Elliot asked with a smile on his face.

“I’m so scared that I can’t feel my legs!” Lisa said while laughing dryly.

Elliot caressed her face, touching her cold skin, and said with an amiable smile, “I won’t kill you unless you betray me, leave me for someone else, no matter who it is, or do something unforgivable.” 

“Don’t worry, I won’t ever do something to hurt you,” Lisa said, replying to him in a shaky voice.

“Are you still afraid of me?” Elliot asked after a moment.

“A few words aren’t going to help my case,” Lisa said, still unable to feel her legs.

“That’s good. It means you’re still sane. It’s normal to be scared for a long time after witnessing all that, after all.” Elliot said, telling her that it’s normal to feel afraid of someone like him.

“I don’t think I am sane,” Lisa said, shaking her head.

“Why not?” Elliot asked.

“What you did just made me fall head over heels for you!” Lisa said, telling him that her love for him have almost doubled after he killed Curtis and the other low-ranking member of the most hedonist terrorist organization.

Elliot’s hands wrapped around her lithe waist, pushing her into his embrace. He held her chin, lifting it up, forcing her to look into his eyes, and he then said, “Can you still say that you love me after witnessing how crazy and sadistic I am while looking into my eyes?”

“I can,” Lisa answered without any hesitation.

“Really? Then, say it.” Elliot said, daring her to do what he said.

“I love you!” Lisa exclaimed while looking straight into his eyes.

“I so want to make your mind right away, but I know you won’t let me unless I marry you,” Elliot said before kissing her to express his love.

“Hehe, then why don’t you just marry me?” Lisa said after the kiss.

“Like I said, I won’t be marrying you until I graduate from the academy and become powerful enough to withstand whatever the world throws at me,” Elliot said, lifting her up from her feet, carrying her in princess style.

“Hmph! We will see. I will make you marry me before that,” Lisa said, puffing up her cheeks.

“Don’t try too hard or else I won’t give a damn about boundaries and strip you naked, making love to you for three whole nights!” Elliot said before he stomped his foot on the ground, jumping across several buildings and a few meters above the ground, heading towards the emerald mountain while moving at an incredible speed.

As they neared the Emerald Mountain, Elliot stopped on top of the roof of a building, still holding what’s his in his embrace.

“What’s wrong?” Lisa asked while looking at his face from up close, admiring his handsomeness and feeling good about the fact that he is carrying in the same way a groom carries his bride.

Elliot lowered his face to look into her eyes, and then out of nowhere, he kissed her on the lips, intimately savoring the sweetness in her lips.

“Don’t tell anyone about how strong I am, alright?” Elliot said after seducing her with his lips and sneaky tongue.

“I promise I won’t!” Lisa said, immediately promising that she will keep his strength a secret from the others.

Elliot smiled as he rubbing the chin of his little cat to please her, making her squint her eyes in happiness.

“Who’s daddy little good girl?!” He said, looking at Lisa with anticipation in his eyes.

“Me!” Lisa exclaimed happily.
