Chapter 44: Past Memories

In the distance, a silver-haired man was running as fast as he could.

A scowl was upon his face, his silver-gray eyes blazed in the darkness of the night, although his expression could not be calculated, one could see from the blood that was flowing from his lips that he was angry.

As he was rushing through the woods, six shadows appeared in front of him, making a barrier as if showing that they were blocking him.

"Lord Irakiel, you shall not pass this area. It's the orders of our Emperor, just let us devour your species."

Rael stopped in front of them and walked slowly towards them, the six shadows sighed secretly, they weren't sure if they would be able to persuade him.

He looked at the six with an indifferent look as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Since you are not letting me pass, you shall die."

Before the sentence even ended, six heads were already rolling on the ground.

In Rael's hand was an ethereal blade that shined in a luminescent way, as if carving out a road in the dark.

He flicked his sword slightly, there was not even a drop of blood on his blade. It was untainted as if the sword never chopped the heads.

Such mastery!

It was to a degree that even after killing people in cold blood, there not a drop of blood on the blade.

"Tch!"

Rael clicked his tongue, he was still not strong enough, he was greedy, he wanted to continue perfecting his art.

How much ever good it was, it was still not enough.

His goal was to make perfect, perfect.

Yeah... multiply that perfect a thousand times.

He looked in a direction before clenching on his sword slightly.

Slowly the ground started to shake, the wind had stopped blowing and instead started to get sucked in.

*Booom!!*

Rael jumped off from the ground, the entire ground below cracked into particles which cracked into sub-particles.

Two beautiful, butterfly wings grew from his back as he swiftly flew in the cool atmosphere.

His eyes glinted with a fury never seen before, his teeth grit even harder and blood was not ready to stop flowing from his lips.

*Swoosh!!*

Suddenly a cloud parted, the moon was clear.

It was shining mercilessly on the battlefield.

However, in a part of the moon, there was sorrow.

Why?

Why does bloodshed always take place?

The answer is simple because beings have blood that is why blood is shed.

People die when they are killed.

Coughs...

Under the gleaming moonlight stood a figure atop the corner of a cliff as he looked down the cliff.

His silver hair was reminiscent of the moon as if it was its child.

He was wearing a simple lose khaki pajama down below, from the chest, his body was fully open to being seen.

One could easily see his flawless pearly white skin, there were no cuts ot scars on it, the skin was as if he had never been to a battle before.

But to experienced people, it was a shock!!

How elegant do you need to be to have been deployed in thousands of battles but still have no scar or even a cut?!

One could make out that his body was toned to the degree of extreme perfection, it was unreal.

His silver-gray eyes were without any emotions, it was as if he was looking down on insects.

"So you decided to break the laws set by the Heavens did you Ravana?" Rael spoke with an indifferent cold tone.

Rael then frowned while tilting his head as he spoke, "And you only brought these many people to try and kill me?"

Below the cliff and in the sky, were warriors rakshas that stood against him, an army that stretched towards infinity and back.

Approximately there were at least a million soldiers in front of Rael.

Rakshas are a warrior race in the Celestial Realm who are the prime enemies of the Fairy Race, they are one of the many cannibal races in the realm and their favorite food are fairies.

In the past, the two races came to an agreement that they would not spark against each other and that Rakshas wouldn't be allowed to eat Fairies.

A purple-skinned muscular guy stood in the lead of the army, he had golden bracelets stuck in his hands and legs, his eyes were pure gold, even his hair was made out of gold.

He had two ram-horns providing from his forehead and runic symbols upon his entire body.

"You sure like to jest don't you Irakiel? Even when you are in front of death's door, you still act haughty. Have you forgotten how I recently killed and tortured your sworn brothers and sisters? Ha! They were all whipped like a dog! I must say they were very good in taste, the meat of fairies is the best."

At that moment it was like a chain constraining Rael broke.

He disappeared from his place and appeared right in front of the man spouting nonsense. His left palm grabbed his face and crushed him to the ground.

Blood lust erupted from his body as his eyes glinted with a ferocious light.

"Dogs only know how to bark and bite."

He stepped on his face as hard as he could, the entire ground beneath him broke as tremors flowed throughout the land.

Every Rakshas present sucked in a cold breath when they saw the scene, their leader was brought down by a simple stomp.

Rael tilted his head to look at the messed-up face of Ravana.

"Tch, you are like a cockroach, having ten lives."

He then sat on the alive body of Ravana as he turned to look at the infinite army of Rakshas.

It was as if they brought the entire species to the battlefield.

Slowly the body of Ravana started to disintegrate into dust as if floated somewhere else on the battlefield to be reborn.

Rael would have to kill him ten times if he wanted him dead.

Normal Rakshas have three lives while their King has ten lives.

Ravana is their King, hence he has ten lives.

All the Rakshas took this chance to surround the lonesome figure of Rael.

A general of the army yelled, "You are surrounded!! There is no other way for you to run!!"

Some soldiers started to laugh maniacally while some were yelling. "Let's see how your meat tastes!!"

Rael raised his eyebrows as he looked at the Rakshas in front of him with disdain. He was totally surrounded, from left to right.

He snorted as he looked at them all nonchalantly,

"You all are behind me, in front of me, you think that you have surrounded me?"

All the Rakshas looked at him weirdly, Rael suddenly started to laugh maniacally, his laughter was scary to the bone, the Rakshas looked at him as if seeing a psycho.

Rael wiped the tears coming out of his eyes.

"You all outnumber me and have even surrounded me, tell me then... how will you all escape from my grasp?"

Suddenly Rael disappeared from their view, all of them looked at him as jumped from the cliff.

His clothes floated in the air, in his hands a sword appeared.

He looked at them all casually, he locked his gaze with the first Rakshas he saw.

Before the soldier could even react or even look at his ruthless eyes properly, his head rolled onto the ground.

All of the soldiers looked at the scene dumbfounded, the only thought in their head was.

'How did he move so fast?!'

A cold grin crept onto Rael's face, the exact opposite of his noble demeanor.

If the Rakshas were the predators of Fairies then Rael was the predator of Rakshas.

He jumped into the air, all the soldiers shouted at the top of their voice as they ran towards Rael, they would kill him!! They could never let a being like him stay alive!

*Swoosh!!*

Three heads.

*Swoosh*

Three hundred heads.

*Swoosh*

Three thousand heads.

Everyone stopped fighting as they looked at Rael with eyes full of fear, only three seconds had passed and he had already killed three thousand and thirty-three rakshas.

"Higihihahiahahihahgihaohgiah!!!"

Laughter traumatic to their ears started to cackle, it was Rael, he was the crazy one.

He was a demon!!

That angelic smile of his was fake!!

He looked at them all, the million soldiers also looked back at him.

They were scared! No that would be an understatement!!

They were totally terrorized.

Taking a stance, every one of them turned their back towards him as they started to run in the opposite direction.

If a person could kill so many in seconds then he would surely annihilate them all in an hour!!

Rael looked at them with an amused expression, didn't he say before? Now that they had surrounded him, no one would escape him.

"What unfaithful dogs, turning tail on your own master, such dogs deserve to be killed."

He shook his head as a bloodthirsty grin formed across his face.

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

"Higihihahahahahaihiahahiahahahhahhigiahahahha"

He laughed and laughed as he killed hordes of all the soldiers in split seconds.

Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!

None would escape his grasp.

All of them would be cut down by his sword.

He regained his sanity for a second as he looked at them with an eye closed, tears flowed from his eyes.

For a few seconds, the Rakshas were feeling rejoiced.

The demon finally stopped in his tracks, he was even killing those who respawned at the same time.

If this went on their entire species would be annihilated.

Finally, when the tears stopped flowing, he looked at the fleeing Rakshas with an indifferent gaze.

"Feel the pain that my brothers and sisters felt."

Raising his hands in the sky, an invisible pressure started to coil around his hands.

DOMAIN BREAK!!!

"This is how you kill every fucking person in your path."

His hands still raised, a small ball exploding with extreme power was formed on his finger, it was spinning like a densely packed ball of plasma on his finger.

"Let me show you a move, a move capable of killing Gods and Goddesses, a move that is the combination derived from all the deviant elements formed out of the four basic elements."

His body floated higher and higher in the sky until it reached the stars.

'Poor Ravana, he is taking too long to resurrect, I know his main weakness, if I strike him in the navel then despite having ten lives he will still die, the same goes for the other rakshas, that is how I have been killing them all.'

He grinned slightly as he looked towards the sky, specifically towards the moon.

'This is for you all.'

His nostalgic expression disappeared as his face turned cold.

"World Ending Ultimate Deviant Element Magic:

Brahmastra."

His voice was faint but those words traveled to the cosmos specifically towards the many Gods residing.

Many Gods opened their eyes, some who were in seclusion, some who were in the middle of intercourse.

All the gazes fell upon Rael who was right before the moon as his shadow overlapped the entire area.

"Feel the pain."

**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!**

*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!*

*BOOOOOOOMMM!!*

*BOOOOOM!!!*

*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Debris flew everywhere, dust overpowered the entire area.

Destruction!

Fire!!

Flames burn in the entire area along with a dust avalanche, a massive star had fallen onto the ground, still not extinguished.

It burnt until the very area got razed, all life in the premises was extinguished.

All the rakshas had died.

The star razed everything in the particular area for 700 whole years.

For seven hundred years, Rael stood at the same place.

Finally, when the star extinguished, there was only smoke that escaped.

Chars of power flew in the air, towards Rael

He slowly stepped onto the ground, walking towards the epicenter.

He kneeled as he stretched his hands forward.

"Where do you think you are going? You damn cockroach."

Holding in his hands was a small cockroach, Ravana, the cockroach was Ravana.

A mighty being who was humiliated to the point that it became a cockroach.

"I must say your life tenacity is exactly like a cockroach, it suits you very well."

Holding the cockroach in his hands, Rael gave a beautiful smile.

"Do you want to live?"

The cockroach nodded in cockroach language, 'Yes.'

Rael closed his eyes, "Nah bugs are a nuisance."

*Splash*

Blood splattered everywhere, Rael didn't care if he was elegant or not.

This was the death of the person who killed his sworn brothers and sisters.

A person who was the Emperor of the Rakshas, a race that ate fairies.

He looked at the squished corpse of the cockroach as he put it in a glass container and washed his hands using water magic.

'I wonder if teacher will be interested in using this cockroach as an ingredient in her alchemy potions.'

He giggled happily thinking about that as the glass disappeared, going inside his storage ring.

Rael smiled as he looked towards the sky.

The sun bloomed on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue.

It was the invitation to a new day, so ordinary yet so extraordinary.

This concludes the past memory chapter, this was just a glimpse of his past.

He has lost many loved ones, sworn brothers and sisters.

Rael has killed more than a zillion beings and always gone into debauchery after that.

Being a King was hard, he never wanted to be one but was instead forced to become one.

He concluded the end of everything and brought the ultimate peace to the fairies which they don't deserve.

Some people forgot all about his legends as the new generation rose and got brainwashed, many remembered hence they prayed to Rael faithfully as a God, due to which he has pseudo divinity now.

After many such instances, true peace came to his species and they didn't have any enemy strong enough.

All the other fairies came together and the other fairy rulers formed alliances, those who didn't were beaten down into submission.

That is how the fairy race came together and how he also got his two wives, Eleqeeness and Titania.

Legendary figures and legends were formed in the Celestial Realm during those times, Rael was one of them.

The entire Realm was warring, fights broke through all the time with different species.

Even Realm Wars had taken place, just like world wars but on a massive scale.

All the war gradually started to fade as the Celestial Plain entered an era of peace and prosperity.

Many Legends were forgotten while many were hailed.

I don't think I am gonna do another past chapter again, I just wanted to show you a glimpse of what all he had to go through.
