After introducing Arcueid to Chihiro, the two entered Sakura-sou under Sorata's fearful gaze, as he felt terror at seeing Akira. But seeing Arcueid also caused him to despair, as it was clear he was facing death today.
If it had been just Akira, Sorata felt he had a chance to escape or even win, but adding Arcueid to the equation made Sorata despair, as it was evident he did not have the power to defeat a vampire who had lived for thousands of years with his current strength.
Now, he was only thinking about escaping, desperately talking to the system in his head for help to flee from the monsters knocking at his door and threatening his life, which was finally starting to look up.
Akira and Arcueid definitely noticed Sorata's despair, as Akira deliberately released his killing intent towards him to make him feel it. He wanted Sorata to experience despair before killing him.
As for why he wanted to put Sorata in despair before killing him? Unfortunately, there was no impressive reason or justification; he simply wanted to do so, as he would have done with Mashiro if she had fallen in love with him.
Although the current Sorata was not the original Sorata, the outcome was the same, as Mashiro would suffer greatly if she fell in love with him. This was something Akira confirmed using Clairvoyance, which allowed him to see parallel worlds, the past, future, and present.
Seeing this, Akira no longer intended to let Sorata live any longer and decided to deal with him immediately.
"Thanks for the meal," Akira said with a satisfied smile, implying that the hot pot was very delicious, especially as he watched Sorata struggle to escape, unable to do anything under Akira and Arcueid's watch.
"Thanks for the meal," Arcueid echoed, though confused, following Akira's lead, thinking it was a custom in this era or something similar.
"I'm glad you liked it," Chihiro nodded as she sipped her beer nonchalantly, glancing at Akira with a sidelong look. "Make sure to bring Mashiro next time."
"Of course," Akira nodded as he stood up, a mysterious aura surrounding his blood-red eyes as he looked at everyone whose eyes had become dull and devoid of intelligence. "Return to your rooms and go to sleep."
Akira didn't like troublesome things, so he didn't hesitate to use the power of Dabih-Crystallus to manipulate their minds and make them leave.
Without saying a word, Chihiro, Jin, and Misaki walked like zombies to carry out Akira's command, as the power of Dabih-Crystallus was too strong for even ordinary demons to resist, let alone mere humans.
As for Arcueid and Sorata, Akira did not include them in the command, as there was no need.
"Let's go," Akira ordered, giving Sorata a cold, emotionless look that scared Sorata to death. "And be sure that I will make you suffer greatly if you try anything funny."
<You'd better do as he says; that man is extremely frightening.>
In Sorata's mind, he heard the voice of the demon he was contracted with, echoing in his head, clearly laced with residual emotions.
Hearing what his demon told him, Sorata temporarily controlled his fear and followed behind Akira and Arcueid. If he couldn't fight them directly, escaping was impossible at this moment, so he had to wait for the right opportunity and use the power of his demon to find an opening and flee.
Led by Akira, the three left Sakura-sou and headed towards the nearby mountains. Although Sakura-sou was in Tokyo, there was a forest and some mountains behind it, which were privately owned.
"You're a reincarnated person, aren't you?" After walking in silence for a while, Sorata could no longer bear it and spoke.
"..." Akira didn't answer, as if he couldn't hear Sorata, but that didn't stop Sorata.
"I'm also reincarnated, and I even have a system. So, what do you think about discussing the matter and helping each other in this dangerous world?" Sorata was so desperate that he began revealing all his trump cards, even his past life, hoping Akira would feel pity for him and reconsider killing him.
Sorata kept talking without stopping, his voice hinting that he was on the verge of tears, especially as he told Akira how pathetic he was in his past life. But it didn't matter to Akira; the words went in one ear and out the other without any interest.
"You're extremely annoying," Akira said after a long silence, clearly irritated by Sorata's endless talk. "Do you think a bug like you has the right to be my friend?"
It was clear that Akira didn't even see Sorata as human, let alone someone worthy of friendship. This realization shocked Sorata to his core, as he didn't expect to meet someone with such arrogance.
"Although I intended to kill you quickly and be done with it, I've changed my mind," Akira said coldly as several golden ripples appeared around him. "I've decided to make you regret being born."
Even though Akira initially intended to kill Sorata quickly, he now decided to use the most brutal methods to end him because of Sorata's constant annoyance.
"Needles..." Sorata muttered in confusion as he stepped back slightly, a sword appearing in his hand out of nowhere. It was clear that pleading didn't work with Akira, and he had no choice but to fight. As for Arcueid, she didn't seem interested in interfering, but Sorata kept part of his awareness on her in case she decided to launch a sneak attack.
"These are soul-devouring needles that kill people in the most painful way, destroying the skin, flesh, blood, blood vessels, and bones, turning the body to nothing. Then their true effect begins: destroying the soul, which is tens of times more painful than the destruction of the body," Akira said indifferently and didn't hesitate to unleash hundreds of needles at Sorata with great speed.
Swish*
Swish*
Swish*
Hearing the distorted sound of the wind, Sorata's pupils shrank as he felt immense fear, especially since he couldn't track the needles—they were too fast for him to perceive. Unfortunately, he felt stings in many places on his body, indicating that it was already too late to try dodging.
