Chapter 5 - No Mercy

As he pull his knife after the last stab on the bandit leader body, Adonia turns around and saw that there are two bandit left, they seems to be in frantic state as they were throwing their weapon and proceed to groveling in front of the young man with golden eyes.

"Please spare us!"

"We won't be bandits again!"

Both of them begging for their life, their hands are clasped as if they were pleading and praying toward something, they wanted to believe that good fate hasn't abandoned them yet. They have been in brigands business for few years, but it was the first time that they had ever been in this kind of situation.

The situation where a frenzied boy just straight off murder all of their comrades easily and without even blink at all, escaping is impossible as they were sure that the boy would only chased them and then end their life using any means necessary or maybe even more than that.

Adonia only glances both of the bandit, after a while he then rolls his eyes toward the Holy Priestess, the young girl seemed to be in no state to be speaking as she was curling herself into a ball while her whole body shaking.

Tears dropping from her eyelids and her mouth were agape, she was scared but she also didn't feel relieved after the bandit leader, the one who made her to be afraid, was executed by Adonia.

She was like this not because of the bandits, in contrary, it was all because of Adonia who saves her, albeit with a way that easily would be seen immoral in the eyes of people who still had their common sense.

Adonia who saw her shaking doesn't even bother speaking to her at all, instead he walked toward the bandit who still groveling and pleading. He stops right in front of them and give them icy stare.

"You will quit being brigands, isn't that what you said earlier?"

"Yes! That's what we will do."

"Tell me then, is that will absolve all of your sin?"

"Eh?"

Both of the bandits were silent, but Adonia keeps on.

"Do God will forgive you for anything that you have done?"

"O—of course! In any religion, God is forgiving right?"

Upon hearing these word, Adonia hands curls up into a fist. His eyes instantly gape wide and he raises two of his right hand finger, when the bandits who think they were saved lift their head, Adonia finger instantly pierces the eyes of one of them.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The bandit who had his eyes pierced by Adonia fingers screaming in pain, yet the finger didn't stop at all. His scream only lights up something inside Adonia as he found the feeling on his finger to be quite pleasant of some sorts.

"My eyes!"

"Hmm, too bad. Maybe God will forgive you. But you have forgotten that I am is the Judge here, oh also, I am the Executioner at the same time. And I have decided to end your miserable life in the most painful was possible."

Adonia eyes looks more fierce than ever, flame of insanity were the only that lights it up.

Meanwhile, the other bandit was struck down by the terror of watching his comrade being tortured in such unbelievable way. Most of people would never think to gouging someone else's off by using their finger, and then there's Adonia who did it without any hesitation.

It was their first time meeting a person who is ruthless and having no mercy or anything resembles human emotions toward fellow human as the young boy in front of them.

When Adonia pulls of his fingers, he intentionally gripped the face of the bandit and give it a good crushing before finally releasing him.

However, it didn't quite end there as the man now laid on the ground while screaming in pain, Adonia casually said, "Your voice is annoying, better get rid of it too."

As he said that, he raise one of his leg and proceed to stomp down the bandit necks. Immediately bend the bandit necks and also destroying it, his death was something that could be affirmed.

Adonia lips curled into a smile while his bare feet were dirtied with the bandit blood, such feat couldn't even be pulled off by any man, and yet Adonia did it without any second thought.

Now there's only single bandit left and he was cowered in fear after becoming the witness of his comrade death.

Adonia could only sigh when he saw the bandit.

"How stupid, if you never wishes this to be happen then you shouldn't be a bandit in the first place."

With the same smile he gave toward the one bandit he killed earlier, he then approach the bandit and end it all with a simple move.

He sliced off the bandit guts using his knife, and proceed with chopping up the bandit fingers. Blood gushed out uncontrollably, screams of pain pierce the ears, and none of it stops Adonia action as he then left the bandit to his death by blood loss.

"As you were the last one, I think you should suffer more than the others."

His last word to the bandit was filled with strong hatred, even though his tone was more or less sounds carefree.

The young man then walked toward bandit leader corpse, he start rummaged bandit leader body and took all of his possession.

All while the young girl who he had just saved watch him in disbelieve.

The clothes, albeit a bit big and make him looks rather small while wearing it, were taken, and he didn't forget the money and necessity that the bandit leader had to bring before going out of the town.

He didn't bother with any armor as they were already broken from earlier fight, he took anything but armors.

After he take everything he could, Adonia glance toward the girl who was called as the Holy Priestess earlier, she still curled herself into a ball.

"Oi," curtly he called the girl.

Yet there was no response except one word.

"Why?"

"Huh?"

With shaken voice then she continues, "Why you killed them all?"

Adonia couldn't believe what he just hear so he starts to picks his ear.

"Are you seriously asking that?"

The girl only nodded.

"Because I am the Judge and the Executioner, when I decided that someone is 'Guilty' then I give them punishment."

His answer was given with playful tone that everyone could shiver from hearing it all after they saw the condition of the speaker.

Still, the Holy Priestess didn't even budge. She then trying her best to raises her head and then screams, "You're no God! You didn't have the right to kill all of those people!"

"Even after they were going to defile you?"

With only that sentence, the Holy Priestess suddenly freeze.

"You defend the people who was going to hurt you and rob your purity, I really want to laugh because of that."

And Adonia does so, he burst out a laugh and looking to be having a blast while doing it. He looked like he just heard something really funny, or even ridiculous.

"You… how could you…"

The Holy Priestess at loss of words.

Adonia laugh still goes on, and he even added, "Because of my oath, I must kill them all. Now, farewell, Holy Priestess. The city is just few distance away, you could reach it if you walk fast."

Without even any further ado, Adonia walks away from the scene of slaughter he just made.
