Chapter 136: Die Smiling Or Die Trying [6]



***

Amon immediately used [Void Decay] on the old man's face who kept smiling widely.

He wasn't trying to attack in any way whatsoever.

As the skin of the old man started to sizzle and melt, he heard the cries of Zephyra inside his head.

"Human.." The old man spoke, his voice coming out deep and hoarse.

The flesh and bones of the man started to expose themselves as Amon kept his hands on the face.

Regardless, the smile didn't move.

It kept at its position.

The purple cracks on Amon's arms also started to rage with intensity, spreading further.

Slowly, the old man raised his hand.

"It's futile to...resist." His wrinkled old hand extended to touch Amon's face.

By now, the whole skin of the man had decayed, revealing the flesh and muscle tissues of his face.

But the only thing that remained was his smile and the yellow decay teeth of the man.

Amon didn't even know how this was happening as it didn't make any sense at all.

Even the eyeballs of the man bulged, before falling out on the ground and rolling around.

The yellow golden teeth and that smile made Amon shudder.

Even the muscle tissues and the flesh of the man started to exploded under the touch of Amon.

But that smile, it never faded.

The cold wrinkled hand touched Amons face, covering it whole with the palm.

"You cannot get rid of me..." His hoarse deep voice echoed in the crystal dome.

Screams were going off everywhere but Amon's focus was completely on the front. Suddenly, a notification appeared in Amon's vision, indicating his success.

[Your [Void] Element has leveled up!]

As the hand of the man imprinted itself deeply on Amon's face, he also started to lose his sense of identity.

His vision blurred as his heart pounded against his chest in pain.

In his mind, he only focused on one thing right now.

'[Void Training Reward]' He muttered.

[Select Reward 2]

Immediately, a confirmation screen popped up in his vision.

'[Yes]'

'[Select Element: Void]' He confirmed once more.

Immediately, three more screens came up.

[Your [Void] element has leveled up!]

[Your [Void] element has leveled up!]

[Congratulations! Your [Void] element has reached level 3!]

"You are here." He talked, his voice deep.

Both of the children handed him two small pieces of wood.

"Look at this! I cut it!" The boy exclaimed with joy.

"Hey! The bigger one was mine!" The girl retorted.

As they bickered, the man observed the two pieces of wood before tossing them aside on the

grass.

"Both are useless. Let's go home." He said without any hesitation.

Immediately, the expressions of both the children dropped into sadness.

But the man didn't show any sympathy on his face as picked up the logs.

And then, he took both of the kids back home.

Amon observed all of this with a thoughtful expression.

He knew he used that new 4th ability on the entity but didn't know how it was related to all

this.

And then, the scene started to swirl before shifting into another scene.

The previous two kids, a young woman and a man sat on a wooden table, eating.

"I heard they are increasing the tax price for the taxes next month." The man's wife said,

taking his attention.

He looked at her stoically.

"I'll handle it all." He said before digging back into his rice.

Occasionally, the kids tried to show him a drawing that they made on their food.

But as always, the man showed no reaction at all.

The scene shifted again and Amon found himself in the forest clearing again.

There he saw the man, knelt down, hugging something.

As Amon looked closely, they were the two pieces that those children gave to him.

Looking around to see that no one was looking, the man stored both of them inside his

trouser.

At that moment, Amon understood.

The man...

It wasn't that he didn't have emotions.

He just found it difficult to express them.

As the day passed of the happy family where the father did several things in secret.

He truly loved his children.

For a while, it seemed to be that everything was going well.

Until that day came...

The day it all started.
