Chapter 5 - 4: Rageful sorrow

*Slick!!!*

Anguish weighed down Hilda when blood splattered on her face. Glancing around, her eyes widened with dread at the horrific sight.

Her fellow Witches, sisters-in-arms, their heads exploded and their headless bodies limped down to the ground.

"Yvette!!! Othella!!!" Hilda shouted the names of her now deceased comrades, "Demon spawn!!! How, how can a boy like you is capable of using magic!!!?? And a high level one, no less!!!?"

Letting out a war cry, Hilda casted her fire spells with reckless abandon. But her efforts were worthless when her spells were deflected by the boy, slapping the hurling projectiles away to the side.

"The dead don't deserve answer, not after what you have done to the villagers… to Bianca."

"What… what are you!!!!? How are you able to block my spells!!!?" Being all alone, Hilda no longer retained her composure and she now turned her back to jolt away from the mortal danger in the form of a young boy.

"Pathetic."

Pain of immense magnitude was what Hilda felt from below as her legs went numb and she now was down for the count, all for Zack to toy around with.

"My legs!!!" Hilda cried in pain, now reduced to a cowering mess. "No, this can't be happening!!!! This village was supposed to be easy picking, ripe for the taking!!! P-please… have mercy and I'll fulfill your one and every of your desire. I may not look like it, but I have rich connections from the capital!!!"

Zack towered over and stared at her like she was a piece of pathetic trash, "You raided our village, slaughtered our men, and raped our women. Your vile treachery spared not even… not even the children like me no less!!! And you except mercy!!?"

Gone were any shred of Zack's sanity and was replaced by booming rage, unlike the cold anger that he displayed earlier.

"No, the final moments of your death shall be long and filled with pain at each passing moment." The boy declared and yanked her from her hair.

"Consume her… the filthy whore is a good source of energy nonetheless."

Zack was immediately alarmed when he heard an eerie voice of a man coming seemingly from out of nowhere.

"Trust me, Zack, I'm your ally for the future days to come." The voice assured him with a calming tone, "Your magic… our magic rather also possessed the ability to devour a Witch's Mana under the right circumstances. One such circumstance right here is when the Witch is weak and at your mercy, where the fate of her pitiful life is at your very hands."

The boy was every right to be skeptical of the voice, but he questioned it regardless, "Consuming her, will it be painful?"

If the voice had a face, then it would no doubt be smiling at his inquiry.

"Trust me, boy, oh she's going to be in one hell of a torture session. She might as well just beg you to kill her and be done with it."

"I see." Zack was satisfied at the answer, "That's all I fucking need to know."

With some guidance from the voice, Zack forcibly begun the process of consuming her Mana. Suddenly, Hilda felt unimaginable pain from all over her body, like her life was being sucked out at this instant.

"What's happening to me!!!??" Both confused and terrified, Hilda cried helplessly as a blue stream of flowing energy exited from her mouth and made its way to the boy's mouth.

The Witch's vibrant skin slowly lost its healthy color and was getting paler the more Zack absorbed her. It was as she was aging at a rapid rate each second as her body wrinkled horribly.

And the scream of utter suffering while she was being sapped was certainly music to Zack's ears. The boy no doubt enjoyed the Witch's torment until her very last breath.

When Zack was finally rid of her, all that was left was a drained body devoid of any life.

"Good riddance." To add insult, Zack spit on her corpse and walked away.

While Zack indeed was finished with murdering his oppressors, the raid was still far from over.

Fire and smoke still surrounded the village, and the screams of the villagers can still be heard from all over the place. Nevertheless, Zack moved toward Bianca's dead body and knelt down with an anguished expression.

"Bianca." The boy muttered her name as tears fell down from his eyes, "Those bad men, I killed them… I killed them for you. But still, I feel empty inside without you. Why, why does it have to be this way!!! I can do magic now, but if its at the cost of your death? Then its not worth it!!!"

Arcane violet energy suddenly grew at an alarming rate as it grew thicker within the vicinity.

Zack was extremely in grief and could no longer hold back his emotion at Bianca's death, especially when it was a death caused by the foul men's depravity, "A world without you is meaningless!! Fuck this, fuck everything!!! I fucking care no longer!!!"

The Arcane energy finally reach its peak as it spread throughout the entire village. Then, a massive explosion like no other suddenly occurred, engulfing the entirety of Sanders and its surrounding natural habitats.

And after that, all that was left was… nothing.
