My Iyashikei Game

476 Fight

Looking at the confident boss, Ten Fingers’ lips split open to reveal an exaggerated smile. “You will say the same thing every time, do you think I don’t know how you control these creatures?” The black fame scorched the mad dogs. Ten Fingers enjoyed murders. “Bribe with money, threaten with violence, and then give small charities to those who are of no threat to you. You are very good at capturing people’s hearts and are very lucky but I want to tell you, once you are away from the altar, you are a wastrel who knows nothing.”

Ten Fingers pierced his fingers into the ground. The strange symbols on the walls were gripped by Ten Fingers, forming black and red chains. “You think you own this city but you are less than a guardian dog for the altar. If the altar hasn’t sealed up my power, I would have turned this world red.” Each of Ten Fingers’ fingers wailed. The man had a special power. The more people he killed, the stronger he was. As the only Pure Hatred among Ten Fingers, he had no idea how many people he had killed. Using the dead as fuel to the black flame, Ten Fingers wanted to pry open the altar with pure force.

A black flame of hatred burned through the chains. All the symbols underground were on fire. Ten Fingers might have succeeded if no one stopped him, unfortunately, the rain that leaked into the underground contained the well’s resentment. The chills suppressed the black flame.

“Your struggle is futile. God is invincible, when I first saw him, I knew I only have one path left which is to serve him.” Boss Gu turned to the altar respectfully. “The last sacrifice should appear soon and my wish this time is an extra life.” Waving his rotten arms, the mutated monsters from the city rushed this way.

This was a despairing moment for the altar owner. He wanted to live but suddenly everything in the world rushed towards him. The mutated monsters, crazy madmen crawled out from every corner. They wanted to tear him apart and then stuffed him in their mouths. The later it was, the scarier the monsters were. Most didn’t even look human anymore.

“He is the one who ruined this city, he is the one who turned you into monsters and you are still following his orders?” Ten Fingers cackled. “What an absurd world! This place is too much like real life, far less clean than the world of the dead!” Ten Fingers licked the bloodstains on his fingertips and then manipulated all the symbols in the storeroom!

The big clock at the mall rang. The capillaries that covered the mall collapsed. The things that flowed out from the capillaries were not blood but the humans once consumed by this building. The dead bodies slithered out and crashed into smithereens but the mutated monsters didn’t care. They could hear the wailing of their partners or see the darkening sky. They listened to the boss blindly, they couldn’t even think for themselves anymore. At this place, humans became merchandise and everyone was priced. Life and death, everything could be traded and even soul could be sold. Dried humans became the bricks of the building. Their partners didn’t care about the souls hidden in the building, but they might be surprised at the low price of their souls.

“How would a killer like you understand the joy of being human?” Boss Gu’s gaze froze on Ten Fingers. “I have never forced them or purposely directed them. They are the ones who turn themselves into monsters. Everyone has their ugly side, this world merely amplifies that.”

“I don’t get the joy of being human but I do get the joy of killing humans. You better start thinking about how you’d die.” Ten Fingers didn’t leave the memory world because the sudden appearance of the ‘Unmentionable’ in the cryptic world had worried him. He was afraid that if he couldn’t get the altar’s secret this time, he might be interrupted by the ‘Unmentionable’ next time. Because of that, he decided to stay to fight the altar.

While Ten Fingers conversed with the boss, the ground on the 1st floor collapsed. The remaining members of Ten Fingers touched their tattoos to release their power. They cut through the crowd to charge at Boss Gu.

“You’ve killed me so many times so how can you not realize that I always know about the existence of the outsiders and have been waiting for the outsiders?” Boss Gu didn’t even glance at 2nd and 3rd Finger who flew at him. His dark face had a smile. “The last sacrifice is the outsider and this time I’ve finally found him. Tonight, I will welcome a new life.” Boss Gu finally started to mutate!

Red arms crawled out from the rotting wounds. Everything that got close would be torn apart. Blood and flesh stuck to his skin, making him grow ever larger. 2nd and 3rd Fingers attacked Boss Gu. Now that they had used their full power, they could easily destroy Boss Gu’s body but Boss Gu would regenerate at impossible speed. Boss Gu stood in the flooded mall. Arms grew out from his legs like roots, they reached underground to latch to a well. When the bloody arms were connected to the well, Boss Gu seemed to form a connection with the altar too. “As long as you still want to use the altar and to make a wish through it, then you will never defeat me.”

There was only one way to defeat Boss Gu and that was to destroy the altar. However, as the basis of the memory world, the altar wouldn’t be so easily destroyed.

Boss Gu’s body grew. He was like a tree hung with human heads. Even after he became so scary, the citizens of the city rushed into the mall to help him. They were consumed by Boss Gu to be his nutrients.

2nd and 3rd Finger couldn’t control Boss Gu anymore. This evil seed had grown into a tree to block out the sun. Even if they took great risks, they could only slow Boss Gu’s growth.

“Come back! Don’t waste your energy!” Ten Fingers shouted at his brothers. “He is right. Only by destroying the altar, we can kill him but we need to guard the altar to obtain the key inside so…”

“So what?” 2nd Finger was close to being pushed out from this world. He was not too worried, he still had future chances.

“So you can die now.” Ten Fingers grabbed his partners. “I was keeping you around to help me become a Pure Hatred, but who knew lighting the black flame of hatred would be so easy?”

2nd and 3rd Fingers instantly wanted to escape but it was too late. “You won’t be dead living inside me, so why are you so scared?” Ten Fingers punctured his hands through his brothers, his fingers materialized into corporeality. “This is unfortunate. If the rest didn’t disappear, I could unleash 100 percent of my power.”

Boss Gu didn’t mind. Even if Ten Fingers knew destroying the altar was the only way to kill him, Boss Gu had confidence that Ten Fingers couldn’t destroy the altar. “Its’ pointless! Everything you do is pointless!” If the Unmentionable’s memory could be forced open with brute force, then he wouldn’t be an Unmentionable.

Boss Gu laughed. Ten Fingers thought the man was bluffing, he refused to believe an altar that had been abandoned for decades could still stop him. The fingers burning with hatred grabbed at the altar. He removed the seal on himself. He used endless hatred to ram at the top of the altar to make the hole bigger.

Burning through the mad dogs and monsters, Ten Fingers looked through the hole into the altar. Inside the altar was another well. It was a well that contained the wishes of endless people. It appeared close but also far. God was hiding at the bottom of the well!

Memories of the dead Fei Yang, Brother Snake, Huang Li, and so on formed a rope. They shared the memory of the same person. Because of that person, these people were chosen as sacrifices. Only by sacrificing them that the rope reaching into the well would appear. Looking at the swaying rope, Ten Fingers realized the rope was still a bit distance away from reaching the well water. He needed at least 2 more sacrifices. ‘The altar has never been damaged before, this is the closest I’ll come to the secret of the Unmentionable!’

Ten Fingers’ eyes were enveloped by hatred. He blasted everything he had at the hole. The pure hatred was pure emotion, the black flame could burn through everything.

Just as Ten Fingers entered the altar, Boss Gu howled in pain like Ten Fingers’ hatred was burning through his stomach. The large body collapse and the leaves covered in resentment wilted. Boss Gu shriveled but his eyes were still gleaming with greed. “Let me see how are you going to get out after you get in!”

Gripping the rope of memory, Ten Fingers entered the well. However, he couldn’t touch the water. Looking at the water before him, Ten Fingers gathered his hatred in his left hand and then released his right hand that held the rope. A ball of black flame crashed into the water. The wishes in the well burst like bubbles. Ten Fingers shouted at the water, hoping to leave his wish behind. But as he voiced his wish, the well in the altar changed. The bricks turned into arms and the well opened up like a flower. The clear well water turned red and it reflected Ten Fingers, making it seem like the God in the well looked like Ten Fingers. “This is not a wishing well but a monster that feeds on wishes!”

Even as a Pure Hatred, Ten Fingers felt extreme danger. He retreated but it was too late. The arms grabbed his body. He knew that if he was trapped here, eventually he would be dragged into the well. So he chose the simplest method. His fingers turned into knives, he cut off all of his body and only kept his burning heart.

The black flame was extinguished by the well water. After paying a hefty price, Ten Fingers escaped from the well. However, his hatred had damaged the altar too. The altar’s power had been weakened and even a normal person could approach it now.

“You’ve managed to escape?” Boss Gu’s life was connected to the altar. If the altar was injured, he’d be injured too. However, the biggest difference between him and Ten Fingers was, Boss Gu could use the souls of the mutated monsters to rapidly recover. As long as people were willing to believe him, he would never be killed.

“You undying old man, I’ve learned your secret. The next time we meet, it’ll be your death.” Ten Fingers was extremely weak. The black flame in his eyes was almost gone. Only the seed of hatred was flickering in his chest.

“There is no more next time. All the sacrifices have been gathered, I will be reborn in this memory.” Boss Gu sighed. He had used the power in the altar to consume Ten Fingers. Waving his arms, the army of mutated monsters charged at Ten Fingers. The latter couldn’t resist anymore. The only path he had was to exit this world. Ten Fingers glared at Boss Gu with hatred. As the monsters tore into his body, Ten Fingers used the last of his energy to touch the tattoo around his heart. But as his fingerless hands were about to touch the heart, someone grabbed his wrist. He looked up. The monsters around him were kicked down. A young man was standing beside him. The young man wore a beast mask and his gaze was cold.

‘He does not belong in this world!’ As Ten Fingers had that thought, the young man uttered, “Rest in peace, I will avenge you.”

A blinding light pierced into Ten Fingers’ chest. The hatred in his eyes dissipated. Looking at the light, Ten Fingers felt his core disintegrating. He repeated the words, “You will avenge me?”
