Chapter 50: Everything
"Hey, do you really want to live that much that you would beg for your life? " Silvia, the girl with long hair, asked with a playful smile before quickly disappearing and reappearing in front of Reign.
It wasn't teleportation; she was simply too fast to see with the naked eye.
"I.."
SLASH!
Reign suddenly felt a cold sensation on his cheek, and in the next moment, a long wound appeared. He didn't even see how the girl had attacked him.
And that wasn't all; he actually felt pain from the attack, indicating that it wasn't just normal physical damage.
At that moment, he realized that this bitchy woman could kill him effortlessly if she wanted to.
The gap in their power was too wide. Facing her would be pure suicide and idiocy.
'Fuck you...' he gritted his teeth, but he didn't show any anger outwardly.
"I want to live," Reign swallowed his pride and ego, pleading like a coward.
"Say, please!" Silvia continued to mocked him.
"Enough!" Anna's voice sliced through the tension like a blade.
"What an impatient woman," Silvia chuckled. With a graceful leap backward, she dodged Anna's strike like it was nothing.
On the other hand, Anna quickly turned two blood blades in her hands, positioning herself protectively in front of Reign.
"Don't touch him with your filthy hands," Anna gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger and frustration.
"Hey, bitch. You might be Lord Alexander's fiancee, but know your place," Silvia's tone turned ice-cold after being called filthy.
SWOOOOSH!
SWOOOOSH!
SWOOOOSH!
Multiple whooshing sounds echoed, and superficial wounds appeared on Anna's body.
"This is just a warning. I can kill you with my eyes closed," Silvia sneered in contempt.
The air between the two women started to get more intense. It was clear that Silvia was targeting Anna out of jealousy.
"Stop this nonsense and come with us," Alexander interjected, breaking the tension. "If you do, I'll spare this beast."
"I…" Anna felt conflicted. She didn't want to separate from Reign, but she also couldn't bear the thought of him dying.
But what could she do ?
She knew she couldn't win against Silvia, let alone Alexander.
"Go with them ," Reign spoke from behind.
"But..." Anna wanted to protest, but when she looked back, she saw Reign's serious expression.
It was the first time she had seen him this angry.
She didn't need to hear him say anything; she could feel it. He was serious about taking down the three of them.
'I see. You will save me in the future, right?' Anna felt a surge of happiness, seeing Reign's determination.
They were underestimating him, but that's because they're unaware of his growth rate.
Anna was confident that, given time, he would surpass everyone.
And when that time comes, he will save her, just like the heroes in fairy tales. The mere thought of this greatly lifts her spirits.
'Just go with them, you dimwit,'Reign grumbled inwardly, frustrated that Anna couldn't take the hint.
Save her later, like a hero? Absolutely not.
He planned to eliminate the three in the future for his own satisfaction. He didn't care about Anna at all.
"I'll go with you, but promise me you won't harm him or my father," Anna responded, finally giving in to his threat.
"I give you my word," Alexander stated solemnly, placing his right hand on his chest to emphasize his sincerity.
Anna didn't fully understand the significance of this gesture, but she knew it held immense weight, especially coming from someone as powerful as him.
"Bye now," Anna bid her farewell to Reign without turning back. She understood the importance of not showing any actions that might make Alexander change his mind.
"Boring!" Silvia shook her head, then grabbed hold of Anna's body and flew towards Alexander.
"Please, keep your promise,"
"Don't worry. I promise not to kill him and your father, but this town was now under my domain, so everyone aside from the two must die," Alexander replied with an indifferent expression .
Raising his hand, he initiated a devastating action, causing everyone in the town to die one by one, sparing none. They didn't even know how they met their end.
Then, an invisible energy surged from the dead bodies, flying towards Alexander .
When he was finished, the crimson sky returned to its normal color, and they disappeared into the night.
'Are they gone?' Reign asked anxiously, scanning his surroundings to ensure his safety.
After a minute of not sensing anything, he finally sighed in relief.
Checking on George, he saw that he was still sleeping. Whatever that domain was, it must be very harmful to humans.
"Should I kill him?" Reign mused, but before he could act, something caught his attention.
'This smell...' he paused, sensing death all around him.
He ran towards the market area and other places in the town. As expected, everyone was dead but their bodies were still in good shape.
'This is an opportunity for me!' he exclaimed in delight. All the townspeople were now his for the taking.
Wasting no time, he started devouring everything to level up quickly and achieve his next evolution.
Seeing those three powerful beings made him realize that he was far too weak. He needed to grow stronger, so strong that no one would be able to humiliate him.
"Just you wait, you fuckers. Next time we meet, I'll eat you all alive after making you suffer!" Reign chuckled crazily.
His monster instinct and broken mind magnified his hunger for power.
Little did he know that the more negative emotions he harbored, the more EXP he earned from consuming humans.
It was the system's way of rewarding him for becoming more inhumane.
[Level up ]
***
The sound of the roosters crowing in the morning signaled the start of another day.
George slowly opened his eyes and found himself back in the bedroom on the farm.
"Anna!" he screamed in worry, remembering losing consciousness just seconds after he saw three individuals with white hair.
He was familiar with these white-haired people because his wife had warned him about them before.
"Stop shouting, you're ruining the taste of my coffee," a voice resounded from his right side.
When George turned to the source of the sound, he saw a man with a skull-like face, black hair, and blue eyes that seemed to flicker like flames, sitting and drinking coffee.
The unknown man was also wearing a farm attire, the type with a checkered pattern on it.
"Where is Anna? What did you do to my daughter!" George shouted in anger. He didn't care what kind of monster he was facing right now.
"Do to her? Hey, old man, have you gone senile?" The man asked with a chuckle.
Hearing the words "old man," George finally realized who he was talking to. It was the person he hated a lot.
"Are you him?" he asked.
The skull-faced man did not move and just stared at George.
George could feel it; the being in front of him was more dangerous than his daughter Anna.
"The one and only," the skull face man smiled widely, his pure white teeth adding a touch of creepiness to his overall expression.
