Chapter 15 - Burned

"Elric is now running and following the direction where he heard Chione's scream.

'What happened?' He didn't know, but he was really nervous now.

Elric turned a corner and paled at what he saw.

Felix was standing there looking like he had lost his mind, while Chione lay underneath him, and Elric was shocked to see her body covered in blood.

"Elric!" Felix shouted when he saw Elric.

"Right! You're to blame for all of this. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened!"

"You killed Chione, you're responsible for all--"

Before he could finish speaking, Elric's fist suddenly hit him square in the face.

Several teeth were immediately knocked out from the force of the punch by Elric, who was a 1-star knight.

Felix was thrown several meters.

With trembling hands, Elric approached Chione, taking her hand which was covered in blood.

"I'm sorry I was late... forgive me... Chione..." Elric whispered weakly.

His eyes were extremely dark, like the time Thornwood Village was attacked by demons.

Elric stood up again and took his sword, walking towards Felix who was struggling to stand.

"You bastard... what have you done."

Elric quickly cut off one of his hands, causing Felix to scream in pain.

"B-brother Elric... P-please, think about our friendship, I didn't mean for this to happen," Felix begged he realize Elric is seriously gonna kill him!

"I considered you a friend but you're no different from trash!" Elric shouted in anger.

He quickly cut off his other hand, and Felix screamed again from the pain of losing both of his hands.

"Help! Help! Elric wants to kill me!" Felix shouted , hoping other Patrol Soldiers would hear him.

Elric raised his sword and stabbed Felix in the leg.

He almost cried because of the pain.

"Does it hurt? That's not enough!" Elric angrily shouted, then stabbed Felix's leg many times.

Elric heard footsteps running towards them a few moments later.

They were a group of Patrol Soldiers running towards them.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha you'll pay, Elric! I'll kill you-"

Elric slapped him hard because he was still making a lot of noise even though he was close to death and very pale.

"Sir Elric? What happened here?" asked a patrol soldier.

"Kill him, he wants to kill me! and he killed Chione!" Felix shouted loudly as he lay down and his body continued to bleed.

Elric walked towards him and pointed his sword at Felix's face.

"Sir Elric, please lower your sword so we can investigate everything that happened," said a patrol soldier, who greatly respected Elric and did not believe he could do this.

"Elric, if you continue to kill Felix, we have no choice but to put you in charge of all this." said one of their patrol soldiers.

Elric's eyes were cold, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"For Chione, you need to be killed by me, in the most painful way!" Elric shouted, then suddenly his sword flared up and struck Felix in the face.

Felix screamed loudly from the extreme pain he was experiencing, and he just wanted to die.

His entire face slowly burned.

"Ahhh! It hurts! Ahhh!"

Elric just watched him until he died, his eyes incredibly cold and showing no mercy.

The patrol soldiers nearby were shocked beyond belief and couldn't comprehend what they were seeing.
