Chapter 388: Chapter 2.106

“I … I will talk.”

“Great! Or rather what a pity? Anyways, you said you were somehow special in any way?”

“I … I was meant to become one of the demon generals.”

“Ohh … what does that mean?”

“I would be on top of all demons, just beneath the demon king himself. If my transformation had worked …”

“Did he create any other new demonic races? Or did he turn humans into already existing ones?”

“What? No. Not that I know.”

“Then, lad, you were nothing more than a test subject.”

“That’s not true!”

“Why do you even defend him? He probably slaughtered your loved ones, didn’t he?”

“What are you talking about? He didn’t attack anyone so far. They are all safe in the demon king’s castle.” I had never heard a such bullshit before. There was definite proof that nearly all the villages in the north were destroyed and their inhabitants slaughtered. Hannah had seen it with her own eyes, so that could only mean his reality looked completely different than mine.

“Okay … I do have my doubts about that, but you don’t seem to lie. So, where is this castle capable of housing all the inhabitants of the north?”

“It is on the north… norther-“ Something wasn’t right. Foam started appearing from inside his mouth and he started holding his throat in anguish. Quickly, I stood up from my chair and dashed towards him. His chest lifted and sunk rapidly under my hand and his his whole body started to tremble uncontrollably. His eyes focused on nothing and darted through the whole room rapidly with very wide pupils.

I had never seen such a thing before and was completely dumbfounded as he started coughing up blood violently. As quickly as possible, I bit into my own hand in an attempt to give him my blood, but it was futile as he couldn’t drink it.

And then, he shook one last time and death filled the room.

“You can’t escape me like this.” I said, right as four black tendrils appeared out of the earth and stuck into the corpse, lifting up the soul of him in front of me. He was still completely motionlessly for the time being, but that wasn’t a problem for me.

“How the fuck did you die?” I asked angrily and snipped my fingers to return him to normal.

“I … I died?” He asked looking down at his copse. All in all that must have been a pretty darn surreal experience for him, but it’s not that I cared. I also didn’t care about the cracks on his body, nor that he was leaking mana out of his soul at a fast pace.

“Answer the question.” I commanded angrily. The death in the room increased several fold which did surprise me somewhat. Part of it was my doing, but it shouldn’t be this much.

“I don’t know.” He said and blinked a few times as his mouth moved in its own. Annoyed by all of this, I walked back to my chair while death still spread through the room at an intensity I never felt if either Aska or me didn’t go all out.

“Great, and now…” Furrowing my brows, I noticed how the ground turned into black tar around Leonardo quickly. More and more pitch black tendrils shot out from the ground, pulling Leonardo’s soul down while mine kept him upwards.

“No, you don’t!” I shouted, death sweeping out of my like a wave, manifesting in many tendrils which bore into Leonardo’s soul which was already halfway into the tar. It wasn’t my first battle with death itself, but it was the first one where Aska actually gave his best.

Spears shot out from the ground, tearing through my magic slowly. But I was already running back towards the soul, decreasing the time I needed to manifest new tendrils around me and lock them around Leonardo.

It still felt like an unwinnable fight as his should felt heavier and heavier by the second. Just as his shoulders vanished into the ground and Leonardo looked at me victoriously, I grabbed his head and pulled on it as much as I could. Completely unlike Leonardo, my feet didn’t sink into the ground and for a second, I halted his sinking. But the force increased yet again, dragging Leonardo beneath the ground.

“Fuck!” I screamed, created more tendrils around me and shot them where the others were still connected to the soul. Seconds later, the black tar around me vanished and all my tendrils were cut apart. The portal to purgatory had been closed.

“Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!” I screamed loudly, stomped at the ground and concentrated on the next step I could take.

“Rise you fuckers. RISE!” Aska’s portal to purgatory had been closed, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t access it. The whole floor turned into black tar in an instant. It merely took two seconds for the first blue orb to appear. Two and a millisecond for the tenth. And less than two and a half seconds for the millionth.

The room was filled with blue orbs floating around aimlessly as I searched for the one. The one that could answer my questions. The one who Aska didn’t want me to interrogate.

“FUCK!” But I couldn’t find him anywhere. Millions of souls streamed out of my portal, all scanned by me within an instant until sank down to the ground with a bleeding nose and a reddened vision. “I’ll kill you! I’ll fucking tear you apart!” I shouted towards the ground, my vision completely blocked by the blue orbs floating around me. Hammering onto the ground once to vent my anger at least a little bit, I set all of those souls free and dragged those who couldn’t find a new body right away back into purgatory.

The whole thing merely took a few seconds, but it was more than enough to tear my soul apart once more. I was furious about Aska, furious about myself and slammed the ground with my fist.

“FUCK!” Fury enveloped me completely and I may have lost my sense of reasoning for a little. But it was justified and I certainly needed something to vent my anger. Instinctively, I emitted even more death until it started overshadowing everything else around me. Air was overlapped by death as I concentrated all of my fury on the door. Metal was pushed away by death as the door shot through the air. And earth was eradicated as death seeped into it.

Coughing up a swath of blood, I stared at the devastation I caused in front of me. The small pieces of metal that were the door once were sunken deeply into the other side of the wall … of the other room that it. A multitude of cages were completely wrecked by my attack and a whole lot of cracks were visible all around me.

Hammering the ground once more, I turned around to look at the corpse. Angrily, I robbed over to it with the bit of strength I had left and started tearing its ribcage open with my fingers.

And then, I found part of the reason for my anger. A magical circle was engraved into Leonardo’s lung, completely unreadable thanks to the damage it caused to the corpse.

Closing my eyes, I tried calming down as I noticed rushed steps coming down towards me. Not a minute later, Hannah dashed through the large hall, carried by her feet and the wind itself.

“Lucinda? Are you alright?” Was I? I had just lost the chance to do anything with the fortunate encounter Hannah’s troops had with Leonardo.

“No … I’m angry and I’m bleeding for at least ten more minutes.” I complained, pinching my nose a little as blood was still running out of it.

“Was that … was that you?” Hannah asked a bit astonished after she looked back at the wave of destruction I had caused.

“No it was Santa Clause.” I answered unhappily.

“So it was you … I hope you are aware that I felt as if death was creeping on me on the way down.” I knew my magic better than her, that much was clear. I knew very well why I would never use this magic close to anyone else. Not only could they see the death manifesting in reality, but it also radiated into their very core of existence.

“And so did everyone at the academy at least … fuck that was dumb.” I said and hammered the ground once more. I certainly shouldn’t have done that …

“What happened?” Hannah asked concerned.

“I didn’t think the demons were given a magical circle which automatically kills them one they spill any kind of vital information, nor did I know that Aska could interfere in this world the way he did. And being as furious as I was, I may have overreacted a little.” I admitted and finally calmed down enough to stand up and give her a rather wry smile.

“And you really are alright now?” Hannah asked slowly, carefully touching my shoulder as she knew I was very dangerous to everyone when I was angry.

“No, Hannah, I’m not. I’m pissed. At least I now know that I need to change my plans considerably. No more talking it over with the demon king, no more cooperation … he is one of my many enemies. And eventually, I’ll crush him after I blocked Aska from ever coming to this world.” I growled unhappily. It was obvious Aska supported the demon king for some reason, but I doubted they had made an alliance or so. Not after what I read on this pesky letter Louis and the others got.

‘The gods are the reason for our misery.’ was written there. At least that meant the demons were also against Aska, the worst offender of the bunch.
