Chapter 159 Solved Easily By Killing

'That was close, if I had no prior information about the flaring wolf, I would have died for sure.' Zick felt fear for a second.

The flaring wolf's special ability is to spew out the flame from its mouth.

Zick was able to dodge along with the girl with some hard work, though the forest around them was ravaged to the ground.

Zick looked in front of him, he was in a dark room with all the windows closed.

'What might his regret be this time?' Zick wondered while getting up from the brown matt he was sitting upon.

Feeling that he was unhurt, Zick checked his current strength.

'I have middle-rank strength, hmm....he didn't improve much, with his potential he should have already had the strength of a high-rank knight by now.' Zick contemplated.

KNOCK-KNOCK~

Someone knocked on the door softly before speaking: "Brother...Why don't you come out today? The-the weather is good and yes, we can play like we used to do..."

Hearing the voice which appeared hesitant and sad, Zick knew it was one of Thevel's siblings.

'Why does he sound like this? it's as if he thinks I won't come out even if he begs me.' Zick was confused.

He started thinking rapidly, not responding to the voice as a form of caution. The current situation wasn't normal.

After a few seconds, another voice appeared on the other side of the door, it was Thevel's small sister: "We should go Yerter, brother doesn't want to come out..." this voice had immense sadness in it too.

Zick had speculation at once hearing this.

'Did Thevel stop going outside after the Death of his lover? Then, his regret right now must be that he couldn't be a good brother or that he made his siblings and family very sad by living a shut-in life.'

Zick sympathized with Thevel, though the reason for them to live a shut-in life was different. They still lived a similar life after all.

Hearing the sound of his sibling walking away, Zick got up quickly.

'I have to play my role now I guess. Playing the part of a good brother is not hard for me.'

Zick opened the door calmly to find the two siblings who have become 10 years old and quite beutiful frozen in their places.

Both of them turned their heads toward Zick with an Incredulous expression.

A smile blossomed on Zick's face as he looked at the two of them. It looked natural with no flaw at all, there was a sign of affection in his eyes.

Looking at their brother for the first time in a long time, both the siblings had a tearful look. They immediately ran toward Zick and hugged him while crying loudly.

....

While Zick caught up with the sibling, in the outside world.

An hour had passed and both Levienel and the cat felt there was nothing they could do.

They could only hope Zick would be able to come out somehow. The difficulty of getting out of that subconscious world was known by them.

Both brawn and brain were needed to complete this task. They were still skeptical about Zick's experience and ability.

At that instant, a red light flew toward the two of them at an extremely fast rate. There was clear killing intent being leaked from the red flash.

But the flash deviated a little and landed tens of meters away from Levienel and the cat suddenly.

Boom! A huge explosion occurred with a meter-deep crater forming in no time.

With the cloud of dust dispersing, two figures could be seen on the other side. One was a young man with red hair and an old man looking to be 80 years old with white hair and a beard.

The young man had a wry smile on his face looking at the old man's ugly expression. It was Ovelon, Zick's speculation turned out to be the truth. The Everlor organization was the one that attacked the wolfmen tribe.

Right now they followed behind Thevel to get the mythical artifact they wanted.

Well, that was at least their plan, but the old man immediately regretted his decision. The enemy in front of him had unfathomable strength.

He couldn't sense them at all even though he was at the peak master rank!

This terrified him to no end.

'Just how strong are they for me to not be able to sense them at all?! It's just like when I try to sense the leader...' The old man thought before bowing to Levienel and the cat.

"Esteemed madam and cat, can you please give us that neckless back?" The old man's voice was very respectful, he didn't want to offend the other party. He didn't have any shame in begging like this, he was old and experienced many things in his life.

""No."" Levienel's and the cat's answer was clear and curt with no room for negotiation.

They weren't willing to trade one bit, the cat was prideful and just felt disdain toward these humans. If not for its past master, it would already destroy many kingdoms by now. His hatred had only grown after being trapped by the Garcia family.

Hearing their answer, the old man was stumped at once. It was his mission to recover that neckless, that is their sole reason to attack that wolfmen tribe.

On the other hand, Ovelon was shocked to see Zick laying on the ground beside Thevel. He was able to tell what happened to him easily as he knew the specifics of the neckless too.

Ovelon immediately informed the old man about Zick but this only angered him.

"So what?! Because of you, we failed to retrieve the neckless!" The old man started berating Oveling while pointing his finger at him.

Seeing this, Levienel lost interest and waved her hand. The same thing that happened to Aeiron now happened to these two, they were thrown out of the Wuirsec region like a cannonball.

"They might die, you know?" The cat asked from the side.

"Let them." Levienel didn't care at all. She looked at Zick, ignoring everything. He was her last hope of dying, if even this hope goes away, she doesn't know what to do.

Her heart had already faced countless setbacks. She stopped bothering about every small matter and only cared about one thing now.

That is to die.

Getting such a response, The cat looked at Zick still laying motionless.

...

After a week of playing around with his siblings and even making up with his parents. Zick looked at the sky above him.

'Just how long do I have to play this role now? A week has already passed, which means a few hours have passed in reality.'

Zick had not stopped considering the last hurdle of this subconscious world. It was the Everlor organization.

With his strength, it was impossible to defeat them no matter what.

Zick's eyes shined in a fierce light: 'I saw the regretful soul entrapment artifact on Thevel's father's neck. As long as I can just give it to the Everlor organization There are chances of them going away. But....'

Thinking about how all the people of the organization were vicious characters with immense killing intent, Zick hesitated.

There is a high chance they will attack nevertheless for fun.

Zick breathed in and looked down: 'Using the neckless to fight against the organization is more feasible. I just have to let it absorb more soul but how do I get my hands on it....'

At night, the moment Zick stepped into the house, huge cheers erupted from around him.

"Happy birthday, Thevel!"

"Happy birthday!" All his family members gathered here.

Hearing them, Zick was only dazed for a second before he understood what was happening. He smiled wryly and thanked everyone.

Thevel's father looked at Zick with immense pride.

In the wolfmen tribe, they didn't cut the cake on birthdays, instead, they celebrated the whole night with delicious food and wine. It was like a banquet.

On Thevel's birthday, the whole tribe celebrated.

After the celebration, everything around Zick turned dark again.

'The next round begins, I guess.' Zick waited patiently.

Feeling that he had a body again, Zick opened his eyes, and an intense odour of a burning corpse assaulted him.

He was standing at the entrance of his house looking at the fire everywhere.

"Son! Run right now! Get out of here while I stop them." The tribe leader with the neckless in his hand ordered Zick, he seems to be readying to use the ability of the mythical item.

Seeing the people fighting everywhere, and the two people who walked towards where Zick was leisurely, Zick made up his mind.

"Father, please give me that neckless." He had a very determined expression, almost like he decided to give up on his life.

Zick was aware that — Not only brains and brawn but even immense courage and determination are needed to fulfill the condition of getting out of this subconscious world.

His father was dumbfounded: "What are you saying..."

"Father, please protect my sibling, I am not a kid who needs protection from others. I can do it, please give the neckless to me or the tribe will be destroyed today." Zick didn't step back.

This decision was just too heavy. Thevel's father could not put all the hope of this clan in Zick's hand. But he knew that pushing back the enemy was impossible even if he put those two strong people to sleep.

Thinking for a few seconds, Thevel's father decided to trust Zick.

"Hahaha, you won't regret your decision father." There was a deep meaning to Zick's words that his father didn't understand.

'Thevel's regret must be that he wasn't able to protect his family, so I don't have to bother saving the whole tribe. The most important thing is his family.'

Sending his conscience into the neckless, Zick activated it without any hesitation. At once a dazzling white light erupted from it.

Seeing this, Ovelon from the distance threw a red spear at him hurriedly but it was too late.

Both Ovelon and the old man fell Unconscious, the red spear missed its target. But surprisingly the other members of the organization didn't show any reaction. They continued killing with no hesitation.

Zick's lip perked up with no one noticing.

"Hahaha..." Suddenly Zick who got down the step of the house attacked the wolfmen beside him.

The wolfman was a normal person, his body was blown to smithereens from Zick's single attack.

'How stupid, even though they have such a useful weapon they only let it absorb two souls.' Zick sneered internally.

The wolfmen considered using this mythical item as taboo. They knew that the soul absorbed by this neckless would never return to the cycles of life.

So they only used it on people who did heinous crimes.

Right now, Zick was using this item to absorb the souls of all the wolfmen here after killing them!

'If the problem can be resolved so easily by killing, why do I need to take the hard way?' Zick continued attacking the people around him.

The whole place went into commotion, and Thevel's father who was watching Zick all move was shocked to the core. He had a ghastly expression with his blood running cold. Immense anger and betrayal rose in him.

"You unfilial son! What do you think you are doing?!" A silver glow covered Him and he dashed toward Zick.

But was Zick not aware of such a threat?

"Hehehe, father you should appease your anger with this!" He held a captive in his hand, right in front of his father.

"Move an inch and I will kill this person!" Zick screamed with no change in expression.

Instead, Zick threw rays of silver light killing more wolfmen around him.

"You...." Thevel's father stopped in his tracks, feeling immense fury. His breathing turned ragged.

Feeling there were enough souls within the neckless, Zick stopped and activated the ability of the neckless.

All the members of the everlor organization who attacked crazily started falling one by one.

"See father, as I said, I saved the tribe."

Thevel's father: "....."

The wolfmen: "...."

This was a classic method actually, sacrificing a few people to save many.

Before Thevel's father could say anything, Zick's vision turned black again.

Seeing this Zick laughed: "As I thought, the condition isn't strict as long as the soul's regret is cleared it doesn't matter what method I use."

He successfully cleared the subconscious world!
