Chapter 17 - Psychopath

Leon's visual changed in a split instance as he found himself in a world of green and black, the skies were green coloured the grasses were black, with a very tall tree standing in between it.

"What have you done?" A thick and rough voice spoke. It was gentle and unharmful, the tone of the voice brought assurance to Leon's heart which scared him because he hated the feeling of comfortability.

"I am sorry, my lord. I never anticipated this" the marionette masked man in black robe said.

"I've always told you. I would often say it like this "Augustus, you cannot truly control and anticipate everything in life, so don't try hard and instead focus on the ones you can't anticipate"...wasn't it like that" the voice spoke.

"Yes, my lord, I'm really sorry" Augustus; the man beneath the marionette mask pleaded with his head kissing the ground. Leon was there standing, and until he had try to move and was unable to no matter how much he tried, he didn't know he has been frozen. He continued to try to move.

[You have been immobilised by an unknown law]

[You cannot move until the law is lifted]

"Now, the king you prepared is dead. What shall we do? How shall I go into the world..." The man said looking up at the black coloured falling leaves of the tree, "You know I have really been trying to suppress my craziness. I want to kill, I want to destroy and I want to eat good food too. I've not eaten in good food in a thousand years." The man looked down at Augustus, with tears in his eyes. The tears rolled down as he spoke. "...I really want to destroy..."

'Total psycho...is he crying because he wants to go out into the world and kill people' Leon said in his mind and pitied himself for the sorry state he had found himself in.

"Augustus, find me someone to kill" the man said, his deep brown long hair which reached his lower back, fluttered under the wind of the tree, along with his black and white coloured hanfu robes. His eyes were deep and shallow, there was almost no evidence of life in his gaze but for some reason they were sharp.

Augustus hurried towards Leon and bowed his head.

"I brought one, my lord"

He crossed his arms over each other and on his chest as he looked towards where Augustus was. "...you want me to kill a chicken"

"I definitely saw it my lord, he can use the Moonlit sword style" Augustus shouted.

Leon was already crying in his mind as he could not talk nor make a single action. '..ah ...ah ...ah, what on earth is going on, what kind of plot twist is this...' His thought paused because the man that was so faraway from him was already looking down at him.

"Can you use it?" the man asked.

[The law has been lifted]

Immediately Leon gained control of his body, and he was wise as to what to do. He went on his knee, "Yes sir, but I can't use it well, compared to the members of the royal family"

"Hmm..." the man spread out his fingers and a sword materialized from nothing, he held the sword and placed it on Leon's neck.

"How has it come to this..." he said.

Leon's head worked more than they had ever did in order for him to find a way not to die.

As the man raised the sword to slash him. He bulldozed the man in that brief moment of opening, he slammed the man on the floor and was about to run when he saw the man, I'm his white and black hanfu dressed, eyes closed and enjoying the wind underneath the tree. What he saw put him in a difficult situation.

'What just happened...I was definitely sure I touched him...and it's looking like he never left there but I was sure he pointed that sword towards my neck' Leon was utterly confused.

The old man turned his face towards him and smiled, for some reason Leon could tell his smile was sincere and affectionate.

[Shilgami: Discerning eyes has captured the split second]

[However it is not enough]

[You have died]

Leon's head rolled over on the floor before he could catch a glimpse of what was happening. A maroon coloured aura discharged from the man's index finger which he had used to slice Leon's neck.

He exhaled and smiled towards the sky, "I want to kill more"
