Chapter 248
Niña tossed William and the poor guy landed on the table in front of Kyle. William groaned and glanced at Kyle before losing his consciousness. The man, Kyle, shrugged as if he didn't care. As long as William was alive, it was fine, besides he had a lot of spares if William died.
"....."
It seemed like William and Hakase was not enough to contain Niña.
'Well, I know it already anyway.'
Kyle glanced at Niña. He believed that this was the first time they meet after that incident where he forced Niña to kill the first princess of Elves. It was apparent that Niña still hated him based on how she glared at him.
Even now, Niña was releasing thick killing intent and it was aimed towards Kyle.
As for Christian, he was just looking around. He was out of this mess, to begin with, he was innocent and not connected to any of their problems. He just opened a bottle of champagne and humming the whole time. He was intrigued by how this scene would unfold. Perhaps someone was gonna die?
'Nah, if that comes, all I have to do is to prevent it. I won't let anyone die, it will be hectic. Miriam and Mikael will hunt me for that… Although, ahem, I will let them punch each other…. Now, that I think about it, how about I record this. It will sell well, I bet.'
Christian thought, he liked that idea. He secretly pulled out his phone and opened the camera. He could earn millions if he posted the battle on the internet.
Kyle smirked and decided to talk to her.
"Where's Andromeda?"
He realized that Andromeda disappeared on the screen. They lost sight of her.
Niña scoffed.
"I'm surprised that you already know her name. Kyle, what are you planning this time? Are you afraid of death?"
She asked as she scanned the surrounding, she was trying to find if enemies were hiding. As a master of stealth, she didn't sense anything. Perhaps Kyle was too arrogant, believing that he didn't need security.
"Hoh."
Kyle was surprised that Niña immediately knew what he wanted. He chuckled and he was clapping his hands.
"You got me there," Kyle said and his expression became serious. "But no, I'm not afraid to die. But. Andromeda, that woman is important."
Niña narrowed her eyes as she analyzed if Kyle was lying or not.
"So you are not afraid to die? Then does that mean that I can kill you right now?"
Niña started walking towards him, she was clenching her daggers.
Kyle immediately understood her intention.
"Hoh? You're approaching me?"
"I can't beat the shit out of you if I don't get close."
Niña cracked her knuckles. She walked as she released a dreadful aura. She was going to beat this man and opened his mind. To be honest, she really really REALLY wanted to kill him. However, something was stopping her from doing so. First was Miriam, she was unsure about how Miriam would react if she learned that she killed Kyle. The second was about her and Mikael, if she killed Kyle, another round of hunting season would arise, and perhaps Mikael would be affected.
Niña was not stupid enough to do that.
Kyle didn't move nor run away. He was just sitting as he watched how Niña closed the distance between them. When she was two meters away, her body turned into an afterimage. Then, her real body appeared behind Kyle.
"What do you think? Will I kill you or not?"
Her dagger touched his neck and small streams of blood slowly dropped from his neck.
"You can see the future right? Then do you know if I can kill you or not?"
She asked. Kyle remained sitting, he was looking ahead with no tint of fear. He was ready for the things that may happen. Sometimes, he was tired and wanted to end this. And right now, he was slowly losing his humanity… Perhaps he already lost it.
"It depends on what you choose, I might stab this dagger in your throat."
Niña said and she put pressure on the dagger, the wound started to get bigger and more blood gushed out.
As for Christian, he was watching them, his left hand was ready to cast Skill in case bad things about to happen… And his right hand was busy recording it. You see, this was a one and only chance to see Kyle being held like a hostage.
Kyle felt that his suit was starting to get wet because of the blood pouring on his skin and staining the fabric. He opened his mouth and…
"You and Mikael are meant to each other. You have the same way of greeting someone."
"W-Well, thanks… Hey! Don't try to fool me!"
Niña's face started blushing, she was caught off guard. She didn't think that Kyle would use Mikael.
However, Kyle didn't stop with that.
"I'm not joking, when he saw me, he immediately aimed for my head. He almost killed me, I tell you."
"… R- really?"
Kyle nodded. The room was destroyed by Mikael's swing and Christian even had to stop him from hurting Kyle.
It was apparent that both Niña and Mikael are lovers, they are monsters.
Niña clicked her tongue and lost her interest. She lowered her weapon and returned it to her sheath. She knew that Kyle didn't use his Skill because he wanted to die, it was obvious.
'People who have corruption are crazy.'
She was skeptical why Kyle wanted to die but she didn't care. And she won't let him die, she won't let his wish come true.
'If your wish is to die, then rot here on Earth because none of your followers wanted that to happen. We will use all your blood, flesh, and mind until you are dried. Even your Vice-Leader want you to live, you must suffer while living.'
Niña was not sure if this was one of the effects of Corruption. She could feel that Kyle was not on his right mind. Well, to begin with, Kyle was never on his right mind. But this time, his changes were obvious.
Kyle was slowly losing himself and turning into a Demon. The real reason why he didn't stop Niña was that he wanted to die before he completely turned into the creature that he hates the most. Demons stole everything from him, and the last thing he wanted was to become one of them.
