Chapitre 9: To adapt to this world, I will kill...
Axel immediately backed away while on full alert. In front of him stood a young man donning an entirely black robe. He had extremely pale skin, light blue eyes and white hair. His cheeks were deflated, giving him the look of a skeleton.
The skeleton-like young man sadistically grinned before he said, "What brings you out here?"
Even his voice brought a chill to Axel as he became even more alert. He glared at the young man and said, "Nothing, just taking a walk."
His sadistic grinned grew larger as he laughed. He ignored Axel's glare and said, "Well, well, well. That's good to know. I thought you were pillaging the serpents burrow and taking the treasures inside."
Axel immediately broke into a sprint and tried to run back to camp but he came to an abrupt stop when he ran into an invisible wall. Axel stood up and bashed his hands against the wall before the young man's eerie voice echoed from behind him.
"That's useless, you know? That's a barrier capable of containing a five-star monster." Axel turned around, only to see the young man holding a skull in his hand as he arrogantly smiled.
The young man caressed the skull and said, "This barrier can only be created by using the life of someone dear to you as a catalyse. I used my mother's heart and my father's skull. In the unholy church, your only allowed to leave when you complete your barrier."
Axel tried his hardest to stop himself from throwing up as he broke into cold sweat. Finally, he noticed what was inside the young man's other hand. A heart. Worse of all, it still seemed to be beating.
The barrier pulsated to the rhythm of the heartbeat.
The young man smiled as he withdrew a thin long sword from behind him. He smiled at Axel and said, "You have two chooses. One, I kill you and take whatever I can find. This includes your corpse as I'll turn you into a zombie slave. Two, Give me everything on you and I might let you live."
Axel grit his teeth as hatred burned from every being of his soul. This hatred didn't just come from the fact he was in a 'Do-or-die' situation, it also came from the fact that he defiled the corpses of his parents for power.
Axel, from the bottom of his heart, loved his parents. Even though he was a tough case to handle, they still loved and supported him.
Now, right before him stood a young man who didn't care before defiling his parents. Coupled with the fact that Icarus's father sent an assassin to kill him, he's finally hit his limit.
Suddenly, a screen popped up in front of Axel.
[Personal Quest Triggered!
Kill the young man and bury his parents to rest.
Reward: 10,000 system points, 1x Trader Tab, 5x Lottery tickets.]
Axel's face bloomed into a brutal smile. He glared at the young man and said, "While I'm against killing because of how I was raised, for scum like you, you're the perfect virgin kill for me to get accustomed to my new life."
The young man's face twisted into a ferocious smile. He stab his sword towards Axel's heart and yelled, "Die!!!"
Axel backflip and used the barrier as a wall and jumped, barely making it out of his range. His bow, Oak, appeared in his hands as he sent a barrage of arrows at the young man.
The young man dodged the barrage with ease. He arrogantly grinned and said, "Are you even trying to hit me?"
Axel said nothing as he continued his onslaught. What the young man failed to notice, however, was that each arrow had a dim green light that flowed on the arrow head.
After half a minute, the young man suddenly frowned and said, "This is getting boring."
He jumped backwards and yelled, "Black arts: Decapitation!"
His sword gained a black glow as it shot like a meteorite towards Axel's neck. Axel smiled. He slammed his hands against the ground and yelled, "Original spell: Forest of spears!"
With great vigor, the ground glowed a dim green as a forest of wooden spears burst from the ground, shooting up and piercing the sky. Axel began panting as he heard a shrill screech.
Before Axel could check if he won or not, a screen popped up.
[Detecting the creation of an original spell… Fusion into system… Congratulations host, for gaining the spellbook function.]
Axel completely ignored the system as he looked at the figure before him. A sword rested just a few centimeters away from his neck as the young man was skewered in place. Wooden spears tore through his body, exposing skin and extremely bloody wounds.
The most surprising thing was that the young man was still alive. He glared at Axel in hate and growled, "What have you done!?! Do you know who I am!?!"
Axel completely ignored him and ripped the young man's sword from his hands. He weighed it in his hands and looked it over before he shook his head and muttered, "Too light…"
The young man's glare intensified when he suddenly froze in fear as Axel thrust the sword towards his heart. He started begging and screaming but Axel ignored it all as only one thought crossed his mind, 'Kill!'
However, just when the sword was about to kill him, the voice of an old man ballowed, "That's enough!"
Axel flew back as he was hit by a huge shockwave. Once he balanced himself, he coughed a couple mouths full of blood and began to tremble.
Beside the fainted young man was an old man wearing a black robe, but the difference between them was the old man's robe having golden highlights.
Axel couldn't help but grit his teeth as he watched the old man pick up the fainted young man. The old man looked over at Axel before he snorted and disappeared.
Once the old man left, Axel collapsed down to the ground. He began panting extremely hard while a grin slowly crept it's way onto his face. He waved his left hand as a skull and heart appeared.
Axel sighed and said, "I hope that when I bury these, his parents can rest in peace."
He spent 6 hours digging 2 graves. Then, using nature magic, he spent another 2 hours crafting 2 small coffins. Axel placed the skull and heart inside the coffins, lowered them into the grave, buried them before closing his eyes and praying for them to rest in peace.
Axel opened his eyes a couple minutes later only to see 2 wisps of smoke float from the graves as they slowly condensed into human form. A handsome middle-aged man and beautiful woman appeared. They bowed to Axel and said, "Thank you."
When they stopped bowing, they smiled as their forms slowly faded. Axel had his head down and muttered, "I hope my parents are okay."
Clenching his fist, he took a couple breaths to calm himself down. Axel wiped the tears from his face and began walking back to camp. He smiled and said, "I'm sure they're fine."
