1014 Chapter 1014: Riley's Patience

"You..."

Ramis recovered from Riley's attack in no time at all, but not fast enough to save his son's head from being decapitated and then pinned through Emis's stomach like they were some sort of street barbecue from the deepest parts of hell.

"What about me, Ramis?" Riley did not seem to care at all that the energy Ramis was emitting was causing all the wildlife, and even the plant life around them to die—no. Perhaps he did care, and was even finding it amusing; amusing to the point that he grabbed the spear that was pierced through Ram's head and Emis's stomach; pinning both to the ground before stepping on Emis's head,

"Perhaps worry about me less and more your children," Riley whispered as he started spinning and moving the spear, causing Emis to let out a muffled scream. If Riley was truly just spinning t, she probably wouldn't even feel that much pain. But what Riley was doing was not just a simple twist or spin... he splintered the spear, practically grating Emis's insides, Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"They seem to be asking for your help. Oh, I apologize — she seems to be asking for your help. Get it? Because your other child is dead, Ra—"

And before Riley could finish his words, Ramis rushed toward Riley; obliterating the almost impenetrable ground of Sub-Theran with each of his steps. Rilley, however, just stared at him with a smile on his face as he continued to grate Emis's insides. But as soon as Ramis was only a few steps away, Riley quickly lifted the spear with Emis still on it and threw it directly at the rushing Ramis.

Ramis, of course, immediately stopped running as he caught his daughter.

"Do you not fight with honor!?" Ramis let out a small roar as he glanced at his daughter and son's head before turning his focus back to Riley—

"You are the one who threw a sneak attack first, Ramis."

—only to find that Riley was not where he was supposed to be; his voice, just within reach of him. Ramis was confused at first, but after a moment, he realized where the voice was coming from. But he did not immediately look at the source, but rather where Emis was previously at...

...and she was still there, lying on the ground with a spear pierced through her stomach.

"..." Ramis then very slowly looked down at the person he caught who he thought was his daughter, only to find Riley in his arms.

"I can be a little tricky to fight, no?" A very wide smile then formed on Riley's face as he stabbed Ramis's chin; the knife, went straight through his gums, and then out his upper lips to slice off the tip of his nose,

"Especially when I am holding back."

"Get away from me!" Ramis quickly threw Riley away, causing him to violently roll on the ground; splitting the unbreakable bamboos on his path before his body was stabbed by the sharp remnants that they left in his tumble.

"Don't you—"

Of course, Riley did not care at all for Ramis's words as he blew on the whistle hard; causing an ephemeral blast to ripple across Sub-Theran and even out the surface of the planet.

"No..." And not even a second after doing so, a woman was now suddenly kneeling in front of the bamboo that served as Emis' and Ram's grave. "Neri!" Ramis quickly stopped attacking Riley as he rushed toward the woman; the woman, however, only glared at Ramis before she touched the bamboo, causing it to shrink — no, causing it to regress; turning it back its time.

The woman, Neri, very gently caught her children, embracing their remains as she quietly shrieked in pain of losing them.

And as soon as Riley saw that, he nodded to himself.

"That is what I expected you to be, Ramis," Riley then said, "Sad, defeated, and utterly destroyed. I have seen that expression more times than I could count with my fellow humans, it is good to know that even gods are capable of expressing it."

"What... what have we even done to you for you to do this?" Neri gritted her teeth as she looked at Riley, "For millions of years, when we were trapped in the Domain of the Gods, we were not able to receive the gift of children — and now that we have them, you take them from us when we have not even spent a single breath of time with them...

...w—w...why?"

"This is not my fault, Miss Neri," Riley shook his head as he very slowly approached the grieving Neri and the wrathful Ramis. Ramis, however wrathful he was now, however, just stood still beside his wife and protected her, "I have warned your son twice — your daughter even warned her too, and yet he still persisted in making trouble. Your son killed himself, and your son killed his sister — I was only the instrument that was used."

"I hope that your children die a horrible death in front of you too," Neri's lips trembled as she stared Riley in the eyes, "You are a pathetic man, killing others for your own amusement. You are pathetic, you are weak, and you are miserable. No... no—"

Neri's eyes glowed as they started to reflect Riley, truly reflect them almost as if he was seeing all of his entirety, "...I hope your children will see who you are and kill you themselves. But knowing what you are...

...You will probably kill them too."

"That will never happen, Miss Neri," Riley shook his head, "Despite me being like this...

...I know I love my children."

"You do," Neri smiled, "And that is why I am truly glad that they will die by your hands."

Deymn, even I felt the hurt and anger in Neri's words as I type them. lol.
