Sixtus showed no mercy as he kept killing Zero's friends one after the other. Sixtus didn't kill them all at once; instead, he would kill one before stopping.
It was so that he could instill fear into the remaining people and let them fear him more. He would also stop to enjoy the expressions on the faces of his next victims.
*SLASH!
"Haha..."
*SLASH!
"Haha...'
And after killing one, Sixtus will laugh crazily. Each time they heard his laugh, they would shudder.
Zero had to watch his friends get killed and he was helpless to do anything. As a result of the injury on his body and the Sixtus mana aura suppressing him, he could only watch as his friends were killed.
He was desperately trying to make his body move but it would not listen to him.
Zero was willing to do anything for Sixtus to spare his friends.
"I will do anything. Please Stop!"
Zero begged as tears fell on the ground.
However, Sixtus continued to kill with delight as if he was doing something good. Even though Zero begged him to stop, he seemed even more content to kill them with Zero's begging.
"Always remember they are killed because of you. If not for you, they might still be living as normal."
Sixtus didn't forget to occasionally remind Zero of whose fault this was, making Zero feel more guilty for something he didn't do or know about.
Zero didn't understand what Sixtus wanted from him but as he said, Zero seemed to be of some value to him as Sixtus kept him alive. But this was nothing to be happy about.
All his friends! All the people that he laughed at and played with were dead. Sixtus spared no one except him.
His mind began to wonder if other kids were just getting caught up in that mess because of him. Because a dangerous person was interested in him, and that's why his friends were also involved.
"WHY? WHY? WHYYYY?"
Zero screamed in despair.
He could not save anyone and he was the only one left alive. They still had much of their lives to live, however, instead of living the life they dreamed of, everyone died, everyone except him.
"WHY WHY WHY WHYYY!"
Zero was turning crazy. He didn't know what to do except that he had to kill Sixtus. He knew that Sixtus was one guy that he should never forgive in his life.
Even if he was killed at the moment, Zero would not cry or beg to be spared. If Sixtus kept him alive and he survived this crisis, he swore that he would get back at him 100x for what he did.
"I-I Kill… Kill YOU!"
Zero's face was distorted with rage.
Despair and rage, all turned into the negative energy that slowly enveloped Zero's body. His body was slowly turning into a black thing. At that moment, Zero felt that his power was soaring, like he was liberated from humanity's limitations.
"This is…"
Zero didn't understand what was happening to his body but he knew that he had gotten powerful and could resist Sixtus' mana aura better than before.
Because of this new sensation, Zero calmed down a bit but he never forgot what Sixtus did. Even when he was able to calmly contemplate the situation, only revenge remained in his head.
He never had the thought of running away and was currently glaring at Sixtus. He hoped that this new power could help him get his revenge. No matter what happens, Zero felt that he had to kill Sixtus.
-WHOOSH!
He quickly stood up and ran towards Sixtus who was crazily laughing at all the despair he brought. Sixtus was feeling ecstasy looking at the dead bodies. Because of that, Zero could easily sneak near Sixtus without alerting him.
It would have been a chance for Zero to run away but the hatred and anger had clouded his judgment. Not to mention that as an 8-year-old, he would listen more to his emotions than logic.
In spite of the logic that told him to run because Sixtus' power was too overwhelming for him, he never forgot what Sixtus had done to his friends, and he could not allow Sixtus to get away with it.
-POW!
-BANG!
This time, Zero's punch managed to send Sixtus flying toward the trees. He didn't quite get it but the fact that his power could hurt Sixtus delighted him. He was fully prepared to take revenge for all he did.
"Haha..."
Sixtus stood up as he laughed.
He was both surprised and happy.
He didn't expect that Zero could generate this much power to even hurt his body. His face was still stinging because of Zero's punch.
"As expected."
Sixtus said.
More than shock, he was happy because he expected this to happen. He seemed to have already predicted something like this and was not panicking at all.
You really are one of the people who possess it. Zero from Elea lineage. Hehe…"
Zero didn't care about what Sixtus was talking about. His sole focus was on killing Sixtus. For that, he was even willing to lose his life.
"After giving the item to the Lord, I will surely be rewarded generously. Ha-"
-POW!
Zero threw another punch in Sixtus' face causing him to again be smashed into the ground. Zero didn't want to hear another laugh from Sixtus who killed his friends.
-BAM! -BAM!
Sixtus had no chance to retaliate as Zero continually threw punches one after another.
"Hah… Hah …"
After a minute or so, Zero was exhausted from punching. He gave his all in each punch and his hand even started to bleed a little.
He looked in Sixtus' direction where his face was no longer recognizable. He was a bit satisfied seeing the state Sixtus was in.
"That is it?"
Sixtus asked.
Contrary to his appearance, Sixtus' voice was full of provocation and arrogance. Even with his face turned into minced meat, he still continued to provoke Zero.
"Haaa!"
-POW!
Zero threw another punch, however, this time his hand was caught before he could hit Sixtus' face.
"Hehe… I gave you a chance but all you could do was this? I am very disappointed!"
Sixtus said with sadness. However, that sadness should be Sixtus's acting and he was only doing so in order to aggravate him.
Zero obviously took the bait and was even angrier. Sixtus continued to act superior and even the satisfaction Zero got from hitting him vanished.
-SHIIISHH!
Sixtus who was getting hit completely changed his aura. The person who appeared battered was all healed and had no injuries on his body. It was as if he was never injured.
!!!
While Zero did not know whether it was a Devil's ability or his own, he realized all of his attacks were for nothing, and the reason Sixtus did not defend himself was that his attacks were useless against him.
Sixtus raised his hand, getting ready to strike. Zero stood in a defensive position. He thought that he might be able to withstand his attack, seeing that his power had increased.
-WHOOSH!
However, when Sixtus made his move, Zero could barely see his movement and the next second he knew it, Sixtus was in front of him.
Zero quickly raised his hand to block the incoming attack.
-BANG!
"ARGH!"
However, it was of no use. Upon reflecting upon Sixtus' previous attacks, Zero realized that Sixtus was holding himself back. The punch he threw this time was very different from those two and he seemed to have broken a few bones.
"This is what you call a punch!"
Sixtus as he slowly approached Zero.
"You really impressed me with your power. You can already wield the Power Of Desire to a certain extent. However, you still don't have the capabilities to go against me."
Sixtus raised his hand to strike again.
Zero could not react to his attack. His bones were broken and he was very exhausted. He could just watch as Sixtus attacked him.
-WHOOSH!
-BAM!
"What?"
Sixtus was surprised.
Just before his punch landed on Zero, someone appeared and blocked it.
Zero was also surprised by the appearance of the new person. The person who suddenly appeared was so fast that Zero thought that she/he teleported before him. But there was no teleportation circle or any sign of the use of spatial magic which meant that he/she was just that quick.
Because the place they were in was dark, Zero could not see the face of his savior. Though he was not sure whether he/she was his savior, at least he/she had blocked an attack from him which naturally made Zero feel that the person was on his side.
-THUD!
Sixtus backed away for like 3 to 4 meters. It is because he also felt that the person that appeared was very powerful. Not to mention the speed that she displayed, she was also capable of blocking his full-power punch.
As much as he loved to see chaos, he was also very cautious. He would never do something he was not 100 % sure of.
The person that appeared didn't chase or attack Sixtus. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Zero before opening her mouth.
"Are you okay?"
A familiar voice asked Zero.
Sixtus showed no mercy as he kept killing Zero's friends one after the other. Sixtus didn't kill them all at once; instead, he would kill one before stopping.
It was so that he could instill fear into the remaining people and let them fear him more. He would also stop to enjoy the expressions on the faces of his next victims.
