Capítulo 96: Ch 86 – The Start of Kira’s Bloody Path
(A Few Months Later)
"Oi, Kyouma, you got any dragon meat left?" asked a lady wearing a maid outfit beside Kyouma in a room with ten seats.
"Yep," said Kyouma as he chops off his arm without hesitation, and out came his arm with the bones and even clothes that landed beside Shijou Yukiko.
"Thanks, I'll be on my way now," said Yukiko with a wide smile as she walks out of the door on the far end of the room leaving Kyouma all alone.
As I sat on the chair with a blank stare towards the ceiling, I reminiscence my past adventure along with the other 9 all around the world, from saving kingdoms from gigantic dragons to stopping ancient beasts terrorizing the land, we did all of that altogether.
But a ticking time bomb is still there, the Witch and Lute are still inside that dungeon to let out the legendary beast forgone from the rivers of time.
But I didn't hate them, I'm even happy for them, this world, the experiences, and adventures I went through, the emotions I experienced, in the end, they are just another part of this immortal life I live.
I'll meet many and lose the same amount, for that is my life, bestowed with the power to control the rivers of time and fabrics of space brings a daunting pressure to those who wield it.
But I've already accepted my future fate where I'll turn into an emotionless being who has experienced everything and anything in this infinite multiverse.
With a sigh, I stood up and prepared to head out for I have more tasks to do today like doing my daily research with my body or doing some training.
With a single step, the world flashed beside me as I moved at a speed incomprehensible to humans for reaching the speed of sound is a breeze for me due to my broken body that has absorbed tons of monsters throughout the year ranging from slimes to ancient dragons even Liches were absorbed by my body.
(Kira POV)
Inside a void-like area with nothing else other than a single person floating in midair, books with a white cover and golden symbols started to spew out of his body, and the moment he opened his eyes, a golden iris shone with an ominous light appeared.
"A year has already passed since I, Kira, has been born" muttered the person as a golden staff suddenly appeared in front of him with a red crystal on top of it that shone in a bloody crimson red that made him look like an angel tainted by a demonic red glow.
"It's high time to finally start the project I've been planning to do since months ago, to make the Philosopher's Stone and reach a level of magic never before seen, with that stone, I'll be able to alter the world at the same level of Louis and finally start hunting the 10 reincarnates" muttered Kira as his eyes gave out a cold glint reminiscent to those who have gone a dark path undertaken by few.
With a single spell, he appeared high above a kingdom full of innocent people as this ritual that he made required the souls of many to allow the holder to alter the world.
(Flashback)
As Kira was walking around the library of the Mage's Guild a few weeks later when he joined the Mage's Guild, he was scratching his jaw while muttering some strange words.
"How do I kill the reincarnates including me? I'm stuck with magic so what magical thing I can do to gain enough power to kill a cheater?" muttered Kira as he took a quick glance at the shelves of books around him that seems to never end in sight.
"Alchemy? Spell Rituals? Runes? … Elementalism? Spirits!" said Kira as he saw a book that piqued his interest.
"Are Spirits the Souls of the Dead?" said the book which he hurriedly took and gave it a quick read and the contents astounded him.
It talked about how the souls are perhaps the thing that allows a being to channel magic, for example how a Lich has a soul and all undead also have a soul, then it talked about how spirits are perhaps souls infuse with mana that allows them to control the world with mana.
And Kira already knew the answer, the book was correct with its theory because he did become part spirit as Kaleido.
With this new knowledge, Kira went through many adventures as a mage trying to find ways to allow him to channel the powers of spirits from reading books about alchemy to delving into ancient tombs, he encountered many interesting kinds of stuff with his adventures while avoiding the reincarnates along the way and the experiences made him grow into this being that is ready to spill the blood of hundreds of thousands perhaps millions to achieve a sick twisted goal of killing the reincarnates.
(End of Flashback)
"Ritual Start" muttered Kira as the tip of his golden staff's red crystal shone with an ominous red light that made a gigantic magic circle in the sky and the ground that enveloped the whole kingdom that has probably alerted the reincarnates already but it's too late.
With a quick wave of his staff, the magical circle got empowered by his vast mana supply that he managed to achieve through reading many manuals and later even developed his own through the Akashic Records.
And as the crimson red circle with strange symbols shone with a crimson red light, a beam of red light spewed out from both sides that enveloped everything in the kingdom as he felt the souls being entrapped inside the magical barrier formed by the magic circle.
With another swing of his staff, the pillar of red light started to shrink down into a red sphere with all of the souls entrapped into this small dot in the air.
Then with another swing of his staff, a thread of mana shot towards the red sphere as mana coated all of the souls inside the sphere, and slowly, the mana fused with the souls and crystallized into this crystal sphere which hastily floated towards Kira who wore a wide grin as if killing millions of innocents was nothing to him.
"HAHAHA! Just like that, I can't believe the reincarnates haven't even arrived yet" exclaimed Kira with a loud chuckle as he took out the red crystal on the top of his staff and replaced it with the spherical red crystal that made me feel like I was tapping into a power reminiscent to my space-time ability but less euphoric.
As my grin widened, I felt my mana connecting with the world, and with one command, a hill of dirt formed from the razed kingdom then with another, a storm has spawned from nowhere that brought a heavy downpour with it.
"With this… with this… I can finally start completing my goals in this world, starting with you!" shouted Kyouma as a purple portal appeared from the distant air in front of him with a certain green-haired person walking through it with a smug aura around him.
"Prepare to taste despair villain," said Louis with closed eyes but the moment he opened it, he was encountered by a person wearing a white robe along with white hair and golden iris that made him look like an… angel which brought a sense of fear to Louis especially the red crystal on Kira's staff.
"Louis Crawford, 3 No's Magic and Magic Tool Creation, with that I can already discard the Philosopher's Stone, good good" muttered the being in front of Louis as he was shocked to hear his cheats being called out and remembered what happened months ago.
"Y- you! Were you the one who revived me!" shouted Louis as he drew out his handy God Killer from his waist that literally shook the air just from unsheathing it.
"I do not need to answer the questions from a dead man, but I'll gladly say it to you for bringing your cheats towards me, yes, I indeed brought you back from the dead," said Kira with a smirk as his red crystal shone brighter.
"Why?!" shouted Louis while his green hair flapped with the heavy winds of the rain.
"For excitement!" shouted Kira as he pointed his staff towards Louis that made a beam of air shot towards Louis that he hastily blocked by creating a barrier of water in front of him with the help of the rain.
And as the beam of air collided with the barrier of water, an explosion occurred from the point of impact that pushed back Louis who looks at Kira in the distance in confusion.
"H- how did he control the elements like I did?" questioned Louis with wide eyes as he heard a rumble above him along with a flash of light as a thunder strike stuck him but he just ignored it with resist elements being ingrained into his clothes.
"Oh ho, it seems like your stupidity is now gone Louis, but sadly, anything magic-related for me is like a naked lady presenting itself to me," said Kira as a red light shone all over his clothes including his God Killer and just like that, he felt all of the enchants disappearing into nothing which made his eyes widen in fear.
"Now fight me in a duel of magic God's Mistake!" shouted Kira as the clouds around them went away in an instant that showed the bright sun as beams of light rapidly shot towards him which he blocked by responding with a barrier of light.
But as he was focused on the beams of light, he felt the air around his suddenly disappearing and he instantly got into a vacuum which made him feel like he was about to be torn apart from the pressure.
With a desperate command, air funneled back into the vacuum he was in but that further worsened his condition as the air around him became toxic and without his enchantments, he'll die in just a second if he hasn't detoxicated his body at the same instant.
"GAH!" shouted Louis as a wave of air shot from his body all around the place to push away the toxic fog around him but that was just another part of Kira's plan as light was finally inside Louis' opened mouth.
With a single flick of his staff, the light inside Louis' mouth became brighter and hotter and with his lack of sophisticated control over his cheat, he wasn't able to counter the ball of light inside his mouth that instantly burned off his whole head and just like that, Louis Crawford is officially dead from Kira of the Akashic Records.
AN: This is 1808 words, you're welcome.
The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
