"Kill him."
"Assassinate him!"
"Anyone who kills him will receive 100000 platinum coins!"
"We must kill that demon!"
...
The world's demon makes its first appearance.
And everyone knows that they must stop him before he becomes stronger.
However, the thing is, he is already strong.
I smirk as i holds up the corpse of a certain royalty.
"From now on, I will kill anyone who I deem as danger." I declare.
----------
Sylvia and Lupus...
They seem to think of me as their friend of some sort.
But...they are just tools for me.
I don't have enough time, not enough to play around like that.
I must grow stronger!
I sneak out of my room at night and visit the stadium. It's locked but there is someone inside.
Since it's an open roof stadium, I jump inside and see Adam in the middle of the stadium.
He is constantly practising a demonic technique. No wonder...
I should have known, there is no shortcut to strength.
But what fuelled his desire so much.
I approach him and he senses my presence. "Akuma?"
"Sup."
It was awkward but I continue strolling towards him.
"What are you doing here, bro?"
"I sensed your presence inside so I came to take a look."
"Sensed my presence?! That's amazing, dude."
Although he is still his usual self, I feel something different about him. Like his tone...there are little fragments of sadness in it.
"Why are you practising so hard?" I get straight to the point.
"What, you are not going to question how I'm practising a forbidden technique."
"Bullshit. A forbidden technique is just a powerful technique that everyone is scared of. I have a forbidden technique too." I say.
He smiles and sheathes his sword and sits down on the grass.
"Remember that chick I showed you last time?"
I nod.
"she's indeed hot but...i have another girl I love."
!!!!!!!
Well, that is unexpected.
"However, I'm not allowed to marry her unless I can defeat every single people in my family, especially my father. So that's why I'm working so hard..."
Then what happened? How did Adam turn into Kiznas, the merciless killing demon? Something must have happened to the girl.
"Say, will you use this power to dominate and kill humans wherever you go?" I ask.
Adam frowns.
"That's not a good joke, Akuma."
...looks like my hypothesis is correct.
"Sorry about that. Anyway, want to duel?"
Adam shakes his head.
"It's late already. let's go back."
I follow him and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
"Wait!"
"Hm?"
"I can help you," I say.
"Help me? How?"
I smirk.
"Leave Lily to me. I have some unfinished business with her and I will convince her to terminate the engagement. How about that."
Adam looks at me with a surprised face. He laughs and says "So you do know Lily. Okay, I will leave that to you."
Of course, Adam doesn't know my true nature. By letting me visit Lily...ah...
He is practically asking me to kill Lily.
Hahaha-
"Akuma?"
"O-Oh, nothing. Let's go."
The next day, we visited Lily's mansion uninvited.
"The lady is in her room." Says the servant.
Lily's father, the baron, is standing behind the servant, glaring at us...or is it at me?
I smile at him and bow at him.
Although he did not respond, his glaring stopped.
"She is in this room here, I will wait downstairs." Says Adam.
I smirk.
It has been a long time huh.
I wear a mask and knock on the door.
"Come in."
This voice...this soothing voice.
I open the door.
A girl with green eyes and blond hair is sitting at her dresser. She looks at me and smiles.
"You are?" Says Lily.
...
I smirk.
I close the door and lock it before vaporising the key.
I then take off my mask and smile at Lily.
Her eyes widen as her body starts to tremble.
"Nice to meet you, LILY. I am the hero of Lupus."
"O-Oh...Akuma...y-you have become the hero...t-that's great."
I laugh and my smirk turns into a frown.
"Just stop acting, I know your true personality."
...
Lily clicked her tongue in frustration and smirk. "You must think that you are hot shit just because you've become the hero huh."
There we go!!! Much better, her true personality.
"I will let you know. I can kill you very easily without hiring any assassin."
"Well then try!" I say.
She looks and signals at something.
Behind me? A servant pops out from the cabinet holding a poisoned knife. She runs and aims for my ribcage but I dodge the attack and grab her arm.
"Arghh!!!"
I grip it harder, breaking her bones before letting her go. She drops the knife and I pick it up.
"Tch."
Lily quickly run for her sling bag and grabs a gun out of it. She smiles and aims at me.
"Bye Bye, you fucker."
I yawn.
Firearms are useless against me.
She shoots me but I manipulate the mana in the atmosphere to stop the bullet.
"Wha-"
She fires another three and I stop all of them. She empties her magazine and reloads and shoot. But I still stop all of them.
"I...i..."
Her eyes widen in fear.
"You fucking monster!!! You mastered the manipulation of mana?!!??"
I smile.
19 bullets are floating around the air. I control all of them and point them at Lily.
"W-Wait!!!! I am the daughter of the baron you know!!! He will come after you if you hurt-"
I release all of the bullets back towards Lily. Aiming only at one spot, her womb. Of course, other organs were also affected. But Lily has always been talking about having a child, saying it's a bliss to raise a cute baby.
That's nothing but a dream now.
"Arghhhhhhhhh!!!! You!!!! You fucking piece of-"
I use the poison knife and finish her off from the throat.
-------
"Bro."
"Hmm?"
"Are you sure she is convinced?"
"Of course, I can assure you," I say
After all, she is dead.
At night, I retrieve her body and hang her naked, dead, disgusting corpse on the flag pole of Januar.
It gathered quite a crowd in the morning.
"DUDE!!! YOU- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!" says Adam.
I look at the body and smile. "She wasn't convinced so I had to use this way."
"But...But!!"
I smirk at him. "Who says I'm a kind guy?"
Adam clenches his fist before looking down.
"...Thank you."
I stop.
I'm surprised by his response. He knows that he is partly at fault here.
"Your welcome."
"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!" shouts the baron.
James is also there. Sylvia and Lupus run to me.
"Akuma! Are you alright?!"
"Why?"
"You did that didn't you?" Whispers Sylvia and Lupus. "I don't know why you did that but I know there is a good reason for it."
I smirk.
"I will tell you the reasons at a later date. What I'm about to do, you might think of me as crazy but...I'm just attracting prey to kill so that I can become stronger." I say.
I walk to the flag pole.
"H-Hey! Stay away from her!" Says the Baron.
I kiss her corpse.
!!!!!!!!!
The lips are still warm.
I lick my lips and wipe my saliva off.
"I am the killer." I casually announce.
"...W-What...you...the...killer?" Says the baron.
"What? You don't believe me?"
"S-SEIZE HIM!!! THIS FUCKING MANIAC!!!!"
Ah...yes...
Come at me, fight me and be my fodder.
