Chapter 105 105:Whisper Of Death



Lucas's body became stranded and was strangled by multiple hands.

A throbbing pain bid through his head.

Lucas tried to break free of this odd state of mind but the further he tried to get away, the further he sank.

His eyes blinked and jerked.

Beads of sweat splashed over his forehead.

A bloody pair of hands pulled Lucas's eyelashes.

While other hands held his body pulling him down. Lucas's senses blurred and his mind muddled.

Unable to discern what was going on, he just let himself drown in the blood. He wanted to struggle but he was helpless.

Strength left his body and heavy drowsiness assaulted him.

It was as if his body had ignored his existence and refused to obey his command.

From the deathly silence, whispers started to ring.

The faint sound started to get louder and louder as if someone was inching closer.

[Watch it]

He felt a soft caressing touch mulling over his face.

[Etch this.]

[Engrave it in your heart.]

[You can't falter.]

[You can't be soft. This scenery is nothing compared to the one that you will see in the future.]

[You must endure.]

[You must drown in darkness to devour the Darkness.]

[These people died due to absolute evil.]

[Remember...Absolute justice can only oppose absolute evil, it can't destroy it...]

[It can't ward it off.]

[Righteousness doesn't matter, so does evilness. What matters is the intent. So, engrave this in your heart. Remember no matter how much fifth there is, no matter how much evil spreads its wings. There is only one thing that is absolute throughout the ages.]

Lucas's body started to shiver in excitation and elation as if he found a newfound motivation.

[That is Death...Death is the only absolute.]

[For some it is a friend while for some it is their eternal enemy.]

[Whether it is the omen of the evils or hypocrites of justice, death is the only thing to destroy their absolute belief.]

[It has been, it is, and always will be.]

[Don't succumb to your inner fear. Everything is meaningless before death...]

[So, kill.....]

[Kill...Kill...Kill...Kill.....]

Various conflicting emotions fought in his heart. The fear of the gruesome sight that rose in his heart was suppressed and devoured by the unknown voices.

The veins in his body bulged. Mana pumped more fiercely than before. The blurriness in his vision cleared but the unrestrained remained.

He felt calm like never before and as he raised his chin, the scene that was capable enough to haunt him forever didn't affect him anymore.

It was a magical moment.

A change that happened so suddenly that Lucas wasn't able to cope with it.

How did this happen?

Was he hallucinating or maybe it is something else? Is he a psycho or is he sick?

Did he need mental treatment? How can he adapt so quickly? What is this odd feeling?

Thousands of questions flashed over his mind.

He doesn't know the answer but he needs to do something about this.

THUD!

Lucas's ear perked up hearing a loud thud. He knew the man who was in charge of all this mess was coming here.

However, Lucas did not move but rather pretended to be oblivious and even closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

His senses seemed to be heightened to an all-time high. A trajectory was drawn behind his back. Lucas knew something was coming.

Lucas pulled out his dagger and activated flash steps. Sensing the right time was drawing near, he made his move.

The man's blood splattered over him. His skin burned but he did not care.

Turning ahead, he stared at his prey.

Seeing those terrifying golden gazes that seemed to look at the prey. Heizen's heart was set ablaze with fear.

His legs gave away and his sixth sense screamed for him to run but he ignored them.

'It can't be.'

'This was just a lucky move.'

"Dieeee!"

Heizen thrust his other arm.

Lucas stood there motionless with an indifferent gaze. His eyes stared at the incoming sharpened claws calmly.n0velUSB.c0m

The claws drew near and just as they reached him, he moved. Twisting his torso, he sidestepped letting the claw graze past his shoulder leaving a small gash.

Heizen suddenly felt something amiss and knew that he was tricked so he tried to retract his hand but before that.

On the neck, a solid red line was struck.

It was a nice precise sharp cutting line. The action was as swift as lightning. From the dagger that drew an optimal trajectory, bright red blood burst out.

Heizens head tumbled across the ground.

The moment Lucas thought it was finished, he felt a hand grabbing the ankle and the headless body swinging the hand aimlessly.

However, perhaps because of the loss of sight, he could not swing his nails properly.

Lucas kicked the waist of the body and stomped at the cut hands that were still wriggling.

Lucas then turned around towards the detached head of the children. There were several more like him lined up there.

As he stepped forward, he felt a pounding sensation.

It was a strange sense of alienation. The intuition of that intense colour of blood keeps filling his eyes and emptying his heart.

Lucas's eyes inadvertently turned toward a head that seemed twitching. With a hardened heart, Lucas gave the head a gentle nudge.

Then, a piercing scream rang out.

The unknown feeling intensified.

The sound of a pounding heart rang in his head. Some kind of instinctive feeling was asking him to stay here.

The head of the child suddenly opened its eyes giving Lucas a shriek. The head started to bulge with colourful blood vessels.

"Brother...kill me...."

As if awakened by sudden voices, various screams rang around.

Lucas's eyelids trembled and on looking up, he found the corpses crying tears of blood giving him a pleading look.

"Kill us...Free us from this suffering."

Lucas had never imagined in his wildest dreams that these corpses were alive or they are alive by being mummified after undergoing extreme torture.

Voices choked and a piercing scream rang out again and again.

Lucas's heart thumped wildly. Dark memories were intermixed in his mind.

His body and mind froze.

The moment the corpses started talking, his brain went white and suffocated. The beating of the heart reached its climax.

There was a loud thump followed by the sound of something breaking apart.

And as all of this happened in his head, a black shadow materialized behind Lucas staring at him with an unknown expression.
