CHAPTER 98

Northern clenched his sword tightly, not wasting any moment, he lunged forward, his blade aimed squarely at Koll's

The castle lord recovered with preternatural speed, batting aside the strike with a sweep of his claws.

The two combatants traded a flurry of blows, steel ringing against ethereal claws in a deadly dance with Koll shouting:

"You wretched creatures! Ignorant! Foolish! With your feeble minds and insatiable thirst for dominance."

Each of his words resounded with a deafening clang of his claws on Northern's onyx blade.

"Your arrogance knows no bounds as you trample upon everything, believing yourselves to be the masters of all you survey!! But you all are nothing but mere insects scurrying about in the darkness, oblivious to the true principalities that surrounds you!!"

In a frightening roar he slammed both fist against Northern's sword, causing him to helplessly fly away and tumble like a log.

The monstrous entity paused, heaving as he took steady but powerful steps towards the struggling Northern.

"You cling to your fragile notions of order, but they are but illusions, veils to shield you from the harsh reality of your own insignificance. You wage wars, spill blood, and ravage the very land that sustains you without honor, all in the name of your misguided ideals. And yet, you dare to call yourselves enlightened?!!"

Northern's clone appeared next to him, feinted left, then spun with blinding speed, his blade a glimmering arc that narrowly missed Koll's neck.

The castle lord responded with a vicious counterattack, his claws raining down in a whirlwind of slashes that forced the clone to retreat. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Razor-sharp talons scored across the clone's armor, leaving deep gouges in the black steel.

Then he continued, first lingering to look at all of them in their different fallen positions. His voice came out with palpable pain and compassion:

"I, I, on the other hand, embrace the chaos that you so fear. I revel in the destruction, the discord and the insanity that it brings, for it is through that insanity that true freedom is born."

He breathed and laughed.

"Your feeble attempts to subdue me only serve to amuse me, you cannot comprehend the power that lies within the insanity of chaos, you cannot comprehend the power of the Origin of Blood."

"Shut up!"

He was sure that if he was using the silver sword, it would have broken from deflecting the strikes that the castle lord was currently battering him with.

He was angry and it made him become more powerful.

'Crap, I really hit the wrong spot!' Northern mused but frowned a second later, 'To hell with it all!'

Northern at this point didn't care anymore. He was not an upright human in a way, at least from his own point of view.

Nor was he one that held on to some heroic belief, he was just his own person.

Even from his past life and now, he had his own belief, some where selfish and some were rational, but all of them were based on his point of view and experiences.

Judging from the way Koll spoke, it was obvious that it was a creature that relished in destruction and the disturbing satiation it brought.

Now, Northern was not sure all that talk about madness... but he earlier began to suspect something playing out.

He had to muster the balls to reply, and arrogantly too, because that was the only way to get the information he needed.

Now, he was very sure that the day he met the castle lord Koll, was the day the seed of madness was sowed in his soul.

Koll was the one inflicting all the monsters with insanity.

Koll is the deranged king that sacrificed his people for power... that would explain why he is do strong, could talk and had these twisted ideologies.

Northern slowly breathed, steamy air seeping out of his mouth.

He changed his sword from his left hand to his right hand then looked at Night Terror and his clone.

Then his gaze drifted back to the fuming castle lord.

"It's fine... I have all the answers I need. You are the one I need to purge to finally be free of this hell. You are the deranged beast of a person that turned his entire kingdom into a ocean of blood all for power."

Koll raised a brow, puzzled as Northern continued:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't care about what you did, I am not a hero, I don't protect the values or honors of humanity, nor do I have an opinion on whether what you did is right or wrong. I just need to leave this hell you have created...

"Please die and let me go home."
