Chapter 1034 You Can Kill Me Now

Chapter 1034 You Can Kill Me Now

A cool wind swept past the green-haired girl with glasses.

She opened her eyes and looked around.

"Eh? Why do I not feel scared anymore?"

The thing she was going to do was dangerous and she lacked courage. Yet, all of a sudden, her worries had vanished. She was confused but did not have the privilege to wonder about it.

A black box the size of a closed fist appeared in her hands. It was shaking and seemed like it would explode any moment.

The girl knew she had to hurry. The sender had strictly asked her to make haste as the box was a ticking time bomb. It could engulf even her if she didn't make it on time to the recipient.

With some quick thinking, she decided that the best way to deliver this box would be to charge straight ahead towards the cloaked figures.

She didn't have a movement artifact or invisibility potion, but she knew a spell that could temporarily make her unable to stand out.

She cast it on herself and ran right ahead. Being as small as a bug in comparison to the Giants, she totally went unnoticed. If someone had their spiritual sense spread out, they might detect her.

Fortune was on the girl's side today as she made her way to the base of a towering hill. More correctly, towards a Giant whose blonde locks of hair touched the ground. It formed a maze with the strands acting as yellow curtains.

Thankfully, the girl didn't need to go through this maze and greet the person. The sender instructed that the delivery would be done when the box touched the recipient's body. Even a strand of hair would work.

"Huuuuuf..."

Sucking a cold breath of air, the girl bent her waist and swung the box at the person's locks.

She didn't look back and ran with all her might. There was nothing that said something bad would happen, but with how her luck was, something bad was definitely going to happen.

BOOM—!

The box burst apart and red droplets of an unknown liquid splashed everywhere.

The once yellow strands were dyed red, and with it, a loud roar shocked everyone in the city center!

The hill behind the girl rumbled. The subdued Giant woke up and broke their shackles, letting out a loud roar once again.

"You dare!"

The first mustached Giant thumped his chest and roared as he charged towards the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure's hood came off and one could see a warrioress with a fierce look in her eyes. Her previously blonde hair only had patches of it remaining as red took over.

As she swayed around, red droplets spread from her hair and fell on the nearby Giants.

The mustached Giant threw his fistt at the Giantess's face. The woman did not avoid it and charged straight ahead, getting her teeth and nose broken.

The mustached Giant could not celebrate for one upping the enemy for long as he took a punch to his guts.

The Giantess's goal was to harm him. It didn't matter if it came at the expense of her own life.

Blood dripped from her wounded face as her left cheek swelled up to a painful lump.

She did not show any signs of pain and elbowed the mustached Giant's neck, choking and suffocating him.

Rumble... Rumble...

The nearby Giants on whom the red droplets were splattered awakened into a frenzied state. Through them, the red droplets spread further to the crowd in the city center, worsening the situation.

"W, what's happening?!"

"Shit, those guys are crazy!"

"Runnnnn!"

The girl heard a clear soothing voice of somebody.

"It can't be?"

She didn't panic when hearing the stranger's voice. She had already accepted her awaited death. It was now a matter of time.

This person was probably someone related to her present quest. It could be from her employer's side or perhaps a Giant official who found her.

Who knows who he was.

Even if he was a big shot, it didn't matter anymore. As long as she gets a painless death, all was good.

"True death is when you vanish from existence. Nothing of you remains. So if there won't be you, there won't be emotions to perceive or the solace you're talking about."

"Haha..."

The girl chuckled while still staring at the sky with her hand extended down.

"...so in the end, nothing matters, huh? Sounds touché."

The girl was silent after her comment and the stranger didn't speak either.

In the distance, the Giants could be seen screaming and fighting with each other. The ground was still shaking due to them, but thankfully, the girl was away from their area of battle. She didn't have to worry about being turned into meat paste.

"Say, stranger. Can I make a request?"

"Hm?"

The girl smiled softly. Her crystal green eyes slowly seemed to be losing their liveliness.

"Can you give me a painless death?"

"Actually, can you buy me some meat, let me eat it, then give me a painless death?"

"Hmmm... no... can you perhaps let me take a shower, wear clean clothes, eat some meat, and brew some potions? All potions I make, you can have them. All I ask for is a painless death after that."

"..."

Silence ensued once again as the stranger didn't speak. Only the Giants who were fighting could be seen.

The girl chuckled after a few seconds. Tears leaked from the corner of her eyes, which she rubbed off with her index finger.

"Haah... it's quite audacious of me, isn't it? And also quite stupid. Who in their right mind asks their killer such things?"

"I should've probably gone 'aaaah' 'eeeek' or 'kyaaa' something when I heard your voice. And I should've probably said something like: 'please spare me, I'll do anything for you.' Maybe you would've taken pity on me hearing that and defiled me until you were satisfied, then thrown me in some dumpster from where I could start a new life."

"Hehe, sounds quite a cliche sad story."

"Too bad, I didn't let out these reactions and said these weird things instead. You must be thinking that I'm really crazy by now. But do you know? They say that you are not you when you're hungry. I haven't had a scrumptious belly full meal in my entire life. I've always been in a state of half full. My stomach grumbled and pained me so much, but there was nothing I could do about it."

"Since I was always hungry, does that mean that I was never my true self?"

"Huhuhu... what a strange thing to ask. Sorry about that. I won't take any more of your time. Please kill me and about your day. Oh, but please make sure to burn my whole body after I die. I can't ask you for a cremation, but I hope this is the least you could do."

The girl's emerald green eyes had almost turned colorless. There wasn't a single speck of sparkle within them.

"The only reason I ask you for this is that I've heard stories about Dark affinity perverts. They can apparently do necromancy and make a dead be back to life something. I don't wanna turn into such a monster and be defiled. Che. Sounds so creepy. I would rather kill myself a second time than have something like that happen."

"—Aah... sorry, I went a bit off topic there. Anyway, you can kill me now. I'm ready."

The girl looked at the world which was nothing but blurry one last time, then closed her eyes.

'This is the end.'
