Chapter 63: Suffer For Eternity

Nero and Elise stood in front of a slab that had clothes and hairs similar to Laira on it, and it was covered with blood and some bones.

Elise couldn't comprehend the situation and started screaming while Nero was looking at the slab with dead eyes as the marks on his cheekbones started pulsing red.

"I didn't sense any monster, and I still can't sense one," he muttered, then moved his hand towards the slab.

He brushed the slab with his finger to get some blood and licked it.

——

"Here we are," Laira said as she dropped the three people at the village.

They thanked Laira and asked her to attend the funeral. Laira denied them, saying she needed to go.

"Here, Miss, you must be thirsty after walking." an old woman gave a glass of water to Laira.

Laira drank the water and thanked her— then, walked one step forward and fell down.

The village people stared at each other and smirked.

"What took you so long to bring a girl?!" the old woman yelled at the old man.

"It's not as easy as you think, ask the others."

The old woman glanced at the two women, then looked at Laira, "And why did you only bring one person? Was she alone?"

"No, she was with someone, but he looked dangerous, so we didn't pry much," the old man replied as he threw his stick on the ground.

"Whatever," the old woman turned around and shouted at all the villagers, "What are you standing for?! Carry her and follow me!"

Some villagers carried Laira to the edge of the forest— that was half a mile away from the village up the hill— and then placed Laira on the slab.

The old woman took out a knife and cut Laira's hand.

"Now that monster will come after smelling the blood scent and eat her."

She turned around and wiped the knife with her clothes, then glanced at the villagers, "This girl will only calm the monster hunger for two days! We need to find more travelers and catch them, or the monster will attack our village. And we can't have that monster kill our children and the rest of our villagers.

"We are doing it to protect our village, so no need to feel bad. In fact, this girl should be happy that she is chosen as a sacrifice to protect our village!"

The old lady and the villagers then left in a hurry, leaving Laira on the slab.

——

"When she was being eaten, she was awake, but her body was paralyzed," Nero's voice was so low that Elise barely heard it even though she was standing right beside him.

Nero's bracelet started shaking, and the tiny pearls from it began to break. They were falling like rain and turned into ash before they could hit the ground.

Almost half of the pearls from the bracelet fell, and the rest were falling. It caught Elise's attention, and she tried to touch Nero, "Ne...ro?"

Nero jerked his head and looked at Elise. The white in Nero's eyes had turned black, and his Azure pupil had turned red. His appearance was also slowly changing back to his original form.

"Run as fast as you can and get out of here," he muttered as he walked into the forest.

Elise didn't want to leave like this; she at least wanted to give a proper burial to Laira, but she left regardless.

Nero walked and walked until he reached a cave, then threw a rock inside it.

GROWL!

After a loud growl, a pair of red eyes shined, and a three-meter tall bear dashed out from the cave.

"I couldn't sense a monster because it wasn't a monster— it was just a wild animal."

The bear jumped on Nero with its mouth wide open and tried to attack him. Nero spread his arms and hugged the bear, then uttered, "You are a wild animal, and it's in your blood to eat— to survive. I don't blame you, nor I hate you— but I am angry."

Nero clenched his fist, then pierced his claws in his palm, and started bleeding. He then opened his fist and unveiled a red crystal made from his blood and rage.

The bear struggled to break free from Nero's grip. Nero let him go and clenched its furs. The crystal shined and emitted a baneful aura. Nero penetrated the bear's body with his bare hand and planted the crystal inside the bear.

The bear started screaming in pain and agony as it tore its flesh apart to take the crystal out. The crystal burned all the blood from the bear's body and filled its entire body with nothing but Nero's rage.

Suddenly, the bear stopped moving and fell to the ground; then, it soon started aggravating. Its body grew big, about ten meters tall.

"Now you are a true monster," Nero tapped his foot on the ground and jumped, then grabbed the bear's head to stare into its eyes.

"You must be feeling hungry and thirsty now." Nero raised his finger in the air, and a red magic circle appeared in the air.

"I just cast a barrier on the Korrupt village where anyone can go in, but none can get out— they are stuck in the village,"

"Go to that village, and eat one villager every day." Even if the bear ate every last being on the planet and drank all the seas— its thirst and hunger wouldn't be sated.

That was Nero's rage.

"If you eat more than one human in a day, your thirst and hunger will aggregate a million times."

"And since you will also be in the barrier, you won't be able to go out,' he added.

The judgment Nero gave to the bear was endless suffering. As for the villagers, they were doomed.

They wouldn't be able to go out of the barrier, and the bear would eat one of them every day. They will feel despair and death— but they won't be able to do anything. Their greatest fear would come true, and they will only wait for their end. They will have to accept their fate— that was being eaten by the bear.

"Once they go in hell, they will be punished the same way again and again till eternity." Nero slapped the bear in the face, and it hurled it in the air in the direction of the Korrupt village.

"One more thing; you are undead now, so you will never die— you are just a brainless monster who will obey my command. Once you eat all the villagers, you are just gonna suffer alone, and even if you eat yourself, you will regenerate. So good luck feeding on your own body… for eternity."

Nero's voice was calm, but dry and lifeless, just like his eyes.
