Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 232: Middlers

The homeless he brought were well fed and were given shelter though they were still restless about the fact they didn't have jobs.

To their eyes, Nix was certainly a savior although his attitude was unfitting to the role he handled them how he usually handles others.

Sitting opposite inside his office room with several documents scattered across the table. He was checking the revenue and job vacancies to take give options for runaways. Instead of forcing them, he wanted to give them choice so that they can do things they could come up to like.

'Hmm... Bandits is a no, Labyrinth excavations is a no, Farming and Trading seems like the best choice. There are also other nine hours labor works and security jobs. Patrol soldiers and Spies. Seems good.'

He contemplated rubbing the back of his neck.

Ring! Ring!

Nix tapped the bell on his table twice to call out for the clerk.

"Yes, Clan Lord?" Said a woman in a maid uniform.

"Can you call Remo to meet me up?" Asked Nix.

"Yes My Lord" The woman bowed and left in a hurry. 

"Hah, fucking peaceful..." He heaved out a sigh and pulled out a cigar from his inventory, and placed it in his mouth upon igniting it with his chains.

Placing his legs on the table whilst smoking his cigar he waited for Remo to arrive. He wasn't rude nor arrogant about his posting. He knew full well, everything he has can go down in a hole with just a few bombardments or the threats he is vulnerable to.

After getting transmigrated Nix's morals and attitude have changed, including his appearance. If he didn't meet up with Cinzia or any other woman he'd have become one of the deadliest men out there in Empyrean.

Being a man who has nothing to lose could have drifted him to an untouchable realm that even the gods cannot reach but, unfortunately, his fate led him to take a path that he didn't even realize that he is walking on.

Mayhap he will turn into a monster abandoning his humane nature by fulfilling the prophecy, only the watchers and gods, what was about to happen.

Regardless of those reasonings, Nix is just happened to be one among several deadly souls out there. To but it in a clear way. Empyrean will be facing hurdles and storms of individuals that will become threats to every being out there.

"Hellow Nix," The voice was weird and Remo's face was pale, an omen that he had already been killed. But, surprisingly he seemed very much alive as well yet, the smell that came from him absolutely showed his body has begun rotting.

Apart from all those, Remo never really calls Nix using his name.

" " Nix just glared at him whilst Remo looked down from the entrance of the office rubbing his hands with a sly smile on his face.

"I am sorryyy... I forgot."

" "

Nix didn't question him and began reading him with his truth eye.

[Name: Remo (Deceased)]

He didn't even need to go through other stuff. There was clearly mentioned that he had been killed. He didn't ask what did you forget about and waited for him to continue talking. Whatever it is, He can clearly see that his body was being controlled.

"Won't you talk My dear lord?" Asked Remo.

Remo's eyes were blood clogged and dead. His veins were quite visible as well. The smile he possessed was creepy enough to make people jump in a startle.

Yet, there he was sitting cooly whilst glaring at a dead man puffing his cigarette. Just a few moments ago he heaved out a sigh of relief having been getting time to slack off and here he is now staring at the dead man whose vessel is being controlled.

"Who are you?"Nix asked letting the smoke out of his mouth.

"Hehehehe! I knew you would notice! And I am sorry I killed the maid you sent."

Remo said jumping up and down like a monkey while clapping his hand as his eyes rolled out of his eyes sockets making blood slowly drip out.

It even kindled Nix's stomach to puke. Gritting his teeth Nix rose from his place and began to talk as casually as possible.

"Mnhh! HAhh!"

The dead moaned as though it had reached the point of orgasm.

"AHh! That face! That disgust and contempt you show on your face!"

It yelled whistly grasping its own crotch.

Nix slowly shapeshifted his sword and stopped it in front of its neck.

"Hehehehe, Still being considerate enough to not kill your subordinate..."

"Who are you?"

"Hehehe, Eager one aren't you?"

The dead said placing one hand on its hip while its other hand was under its chin. Its actions seemed maidenly yet, creepy.

Suddenly the dead stopped giggling and began to talk in its ominous voice once again

"The Envoy of Al-zalam! The god of Darkness! The one who sees from every nook of the world! And I am his humble servant. The leader of depravers. Thiyathu..."

"Tch, fucking stop with the long introduction" Nix frowned.

"Impatient mongrel! I would love to see you talk when I butcher your women before your eyes. You traitorous bastard!"

Nix gritted his teeth and released his mana.

"Now~Now, don't cause any more commotion! Or else I will destroy the soul that's trying his hardest to refrain myself from taking control over your entire clan."

'Taking control over my entire clan?'

Nix was baffled yet, didn't show it on his face.

"You have a loyal one... Unlike you traitorous son of a bitch."

However, inducing her words may be. He didn't want to destroy Remo's body nor he wanted the one to go on a rampage.

"Hah, you talk too much. If I am a traitor you are a coward, A little bitch, you fear to show their identity."

"I am a middler. You cannot see me."

'If I recall correctly... Aren't middlers the souls who resorted to living on and become immortal?'

Middlers were beings who went through rigorous processes resorting to immortality in ancient times and their carnal desires devoured their souls giving birth to evil souls that aren't dead nor alive. In fact, they cannot even be called evil souls. They are unique entities that went beyond the laws of Empyrean which led them to be cursed to wander the mid-world for eternity. They seek redemption and destruction of their entity.

It was said only a few succeded in becoming in middlers and it seems this one is one of those.

"Nix, The Imperator of Entropy, I have been hearing a lot about you..."

Boom!

Suddenly Nix heard a sound. And when he peered past the dead...
