Chereads / My Road to the Dark King / Chapter 40 - The Hero

Chapter 40 - The Hero

Wait wait wait! A freaking HERO!? Why?

"They're so strong. Are they another Dark Lord, Master?"

Nera looked up at me, her eyes suddenly realizing that I was no longer calm.

"They're a Hero, Nera. We need to leave, now."

"Leaving so soon?"

The figure stepped through the dust cloud. A soft clinking sound echoed from them as they exited.

"Were you guys going after the bounty? Just the three of you, against all of them? You're kidding right?"

Shoulder length blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He was barely shorter than me and sported a massive sword.

"Who do you think you are, talking to Master that way!?"

Yumi bared her fangs, her scythe releasing itself and glinting in the light. Before I could stop her, she launched forward.

The Hero simply punched out one time... Yumi was impaled through her stomach.

"Y-Yumi! Master?"

Nera was shaking, her body barely standing as I began to walk forward. I could feel tears and my rage exploding my inside me.

"You..."

'Special Condition Unlocked-

My flames spiraled across my body, giving the Hero a show of strength as well as my Dark Lord power.

"Heh. A simple Dark Lord wanting to fight me? Get real!"

A single punch.

FWOOSH

My flames grew darker. The shadows and flames became one as I grabbed hold of their arm.

"Touching what's mine. You'll pay for this."

Yumi laid beside me, her ice covering the hole in her body. She began to crawl away, her claws helping her move as I held onto the Hero.

"So you've got some fight. You'll die then."

A bright light gleamed as the Hero yanked their arm from me. Next thing I saw, a massive blade attempting to pierce me.

"Weak."

My voice stopped feeling like my own as I back handed the broad side of the blade.

"What?!"

Knocked off course, the Hero hit the ground in a pile of dust.

"They may not be able to fight you, but you've never met someone who can fight back. Let alone someone you really pissed off!"

I launched myself forward, stomping down on their sword. He looked up at me, his eyes glowing with defiance as his fingers were crushed under the weight of the sword and myself.

"Arrogant bastard. Do you think you can kill me so easily? If you release me, I can heal that bi-"

One simple kick. His neck was broken as I spun on my heel.

I made my way to Yumi, both giving her one of my potions as well as pulling her to my neck. A few moments passed by before she pulled away, smiling at me weakly.

"I'm sorry Master. I won't do that again."

She was crying. I was crying. I don't want those I care about to be so mercilessly killed.

"Mmh. Owwie! Gods that felt good!"

...the fuck?

Spinning around, the Hero was back on their feet. Their neck was healing remarkably fast.

"I'm so glad I became a Hero! Getting hit so hard... it makes me want more!"

A masochist? God that is the biggest M I've ever seen. They should be dead!

"Hey hey! If I hurt those two again, will you beat me up and break me down!?"

The gleam in their eyes became incredibly perverted.

"No. You even try to touch them, you'll be arrested. Disgusting pervert."

A massive blush crossed their face as they spasmed slightly.

"More more more! Belittle me more! Hehehe... if only my sister saw this. She'd be shocked that someone else can make me want so much!"

Oh hell no. I'm gone. I'm not dealing with this freaky guy!

"Syrus... run. Just run. The way he's acting is putting knots in the stomach I don't have."

"Yea... I get some masochism, but holy shit... I freaking killed him!"

"Oh that? I have a Gods Divine Blessing. I can resurrect as long as I want to. So beat me down more! I'll be your pet! You can even vent out your frustrations and make me scream for mercy all you want!"

Fuck that.

I sent a quick light torrent of flame through his skull, grabbed the girls, and booked it.

I laid on the ground for a few moments before rising again. My body tingles wildly as the burn through my head healed.

"More more mo- oh. They're gone already. Damn."
