Chereads / The Serpent's First Kill / Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS RATED 18 SCENE!

The coup has started. The city was left in destruction. Flames spread out to the buildings, destroying them until they fell on the ground. Screams of despair and shouts of battle cries echoed throughout the Kingdom of Mineva. As I walked through the lonely highways of Mineva, all I saw was corpses and blood everywhere in my surroundings. I couldn't care less who they are or what side they were on. One thing was on my mind… I bet that Alexis is watching from her so-called castle. A castle that will soon fall to destruction.

More enemies and allies appeared from my vision. Without hesitation, I began my mass massacre on both sides. It doesn't matter who they were, but I still killed them. From the distance, I saw a massive explosion that shook the earth. Dark puff of smoke spread out the battlefield, covering the bright sun that was hanging on the sky. I didn't need that anyways. My eyes could see in darkness. 

More explosions occurred around me. More screams echoed in the air. I find the sound delightful and sweet like a melody. And add to that, Alexis watching from her throne in the castle her kingdom being destroyed. This is not yet satisfying, however. I want to torture her so bad, both physically and emotionally to the point she'll beg for mercy.

I was near the castle doors. In front of me, is a long series of steps that leads to the front door where you can enter. So I walked up the stairs. As I walk up the stairs, more enemies try to attack me, but I dodge their attacks and trade magic against them. More enemies appeared, trying to kill me with their silly attacks. But with a simple "move to the side" movement, I dodged their attacks and returned more deadly attacks towards them. One of my attacks missed their head, but landed on their leg. The soldier screamed in pain, blood coming out from his lost leg. As I was walking past him, he looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Please, kill me!" He begged. "It hurts! Please, have mercy!" He begged and begged until I was farther from him, leaving him in his demise. Oh, just imagining Alexis screaming like him makes me grin in excitement. I bet I look like a devil right now with my grin as I slowly crept up towards the front door of the castle. And I felt it. Powerful bloodlust made the air heavy. I looked up just to see two red uniformed soldiers with spear and sword on their hands standing in front of me. Just judging by their appearance and how strong they are, I already know I am facing two top officers of Alexis.

"Stop right there, you devil." A red haired officer, the one that was holding the spear, said. "This is where you stop."

"How dare you kill Mineva's soldiers!" A blonde haired officer, the one that was holding the sword, said this time. "You will pay the price with your life!"

"Hold your horses, weaklings." If volcano was a person, that would be me. The air around us became more heavy as I released my own bloodlust, making them flinch from their places. I can see the sweat forming from their faces and slowly dropping on the ground despite the air being cold due to my magic. "I have no time to face weaklings like you who obeys like a dog to the mad queen." My eyes flared with anger, my body tensing as I am ready to fight. I am eager to test myself against powerful foes, and to see how strong Alexis's officers are.

The stairs broke, collapsing down the city of Mineva. Before they could blink their eyes, they were already plummeting in the sky. I clapped my hands together, palms touching each other. Bullets and arrows made from my dark magic hailed towards the two officers who were still flying in the sky. Unfortunately, they caught on my attacks and quickly dodged the bullets and arrows while they were still in the air. The red haired officer threw his spear at me, flying with a speed of light. I kicked my foot on the ground, making the ground fly on the air around me. The spear hit the debris instead of me. I smiled within myself. They are strong. I admit. They are fast. But that doesn't mean I will be defeated, right?

Before I could touch the spear, the spear itself moved and returned to the hands of the red haired officer. As soon as the spear returned, the blonde haired guy plummeted towards me. He swung his sword and I blocked his attack with my hands. As the impact between his sword and my hands met, the ground beneath me broke down.

"I'll kill you!" He threatened me, but I kept smiling at him like a devil playing with its toys. At this moment, I was the devil and he was my toy.

I grabbed his wrist and he tried to fight back. With enough power, I snapped it in half, causing him to scream in agony. My free hand bursts in green flames, almost covering my entire arm. Without a second though, I stabbed his heart with my hand covered in fire. My hand appeared at his back with his heart on my palm. I smiled at the red haired idiot that was coming towards me with speed. Before he could reach me, I crushed his heart in front of his eyes.

He plummeted towards me, but his spear pierced his ally's corpse. He gritted his teeth and looked around him, trying to find me. Before he could find me with his eyes, the sword I stole from the blonde guy found his heart first. The sword pierced through his chest, appearing outside in front of him from behind. He vomited blood from his mouth. I grinned and whispered to his ears, "I like hearing people's agony. They are like a melody for my ears. Now, let me hear your song of pain." I twisted the sword on his body, causing him to scream in pain. I kept playing with his life using the sword I stole before killing him. When he died, I kicked his corpse off from the sword, his body free falling below until it hit the ground. I laughed like a maniac. For the first time in life, I felt true happiness.

I continued to walk up the stairs until I reached the front doors. Lots of enemies were guarding the door, but within a second, all were laying down on the ground, lifeless by my hands. I broke down the huge double doors, revealing bright white hallways. It was beautiful, I admit. But I am not here for sightseeing. As I walked inside the bright castle, more enemies appeared. I bet they are here as well, the elderly warrior and his forces. Because from the other side I can hear fighting and swords clashing against one another.

I continued my massacre as I walked deep into the castle. After a few minutes of roaming, I finally found it. The entrance to Alexis's chamber. How do I know this? Because I still remember its appearance. When I was a kid, I always went to the Ruler's Chambers, where my mother and her top officers always resided. So I know its appearance and its feeling. Even though they are different, yet they are still similar in some ways.

I broke down the door. Smoke covered my entrance. My eyes widened in happiness when I finally saw her…

"Wow! Look at you! All dress up, ready to fight." I said with joy behind my voice.

"Who are you?" Alexis roared, pointing her golden sword at me.

"Oh, Alexis…" I said with a frown on my face and acting like my heart got struck because of her words. "You don't remember me?"

Alexis stopped. She scanned my face and body, trying to remember where she met me. "I don't know who you are. But you will pay for your treason!" She roared, like a warrior.

"Except you're not a damn warrior." I muttered. "I have returned to avenge my mother, you fucker."

Without saying anymore words, I began to launch a barrage of attacks at her. Alexis is strong. No wonder she used to be one of my mother's top officers. Every magic attack that comes towards her, she slashes them with her sword in half. She never missed a single target. I closed our distance, revealing the stolen sword in my hand. Our swords clashed together, revealing sparks of electricity as metal makes impact to another metal.

"Returned to avenge your mother? What the heck are you talking about?" Alexis asked, confused but focused on attacking me.

I added a little power behind my attack, sending her flying from me and creating distance between us. Before her feet touched the ground, I sent more bullets and arrows made of my magic towards her, keeping her on edge.

"Ten years ago… It all happened ten years ago…" I said, but I couldn't finish my sentence as my anger was boiling from me. My attacks have become dangerous for her to keep parrying so she dodged them. She moved with agility, dodging every magic that I sent towards her.

"What are you saying?" Alexis said. She closed the distance again and our swords clashed once more. "I don't care anymore! I'll kill you!" Her attacks have become ferocious. The air around us became heavy and hard to breathe as our blood lust filled the room. But my lust was strong. Memories of my mother's death resurfaced. Seeing Alexis smile made me even more… Angry. I don't care anymore what happens to my body. I'll bring this bitch down and torture her until she dies! I'll let her remember who I am even if she is dead!

My sword broke, but I immediately fought with both magic and martial arts. Everytime she dodges my fists and kicks, magic comes at her. And everytime she dodges my magic, martial arts combos come her way. Whenever she tries to separate the distance, I come closer to her. She was getting tired. I can see it from her expression. Sweat dripped off her bloody body. Her golden armor that was protecting her were displayed with cracks and dents due to the force behind my attacks.

Finally, I held her wrist. And I held it tight. She gritted her teeth in pain, but I grinned from ear to ear, knowing that I will be enjoying this moment from now on.

"What are you doing?" Alexis asked, but I didn't care to answer her silly question. I stripped down her broken armor until all that was left were her clothes. Then, the emerald serpent slowly appeared from my body, revealing its fangs. "What is this?!" Alexis struggled to get out of my grip. The serpent slowly wrapped around her body tight enough to make sure she did not escape, but not too tight that could crush her and potentially kill her. It'll be boring if she dies easily, right?

"Ten years ago… The kingdom of Borne was attacked. Queen Ashe fought for her kingdom, but in the end, she died and the kingdom fell." I said. I forcefully turned her head to me so she could look at my eyes. "Queen Ashe had a daughter, remember?" I asked. Alexis nodded. "You are looking at that daughter, Alexis." I smiled, tightening the grip of the serpent.

Alexis stopped struggling. Her eyes widened in surprise with a mix of fear. "Ashe..?" She asked weakly. "Why… How…" She struggled to find the right words. I spit on her face instead.

"Alexis. I am here to avenge my mother." I chuckled, scaring Alexis from my laugh. "Hey, I love hearing my enemy's cry as I leave them in pain. It is like a melody to my ears." I caressed Alexis's ugly face. I can feel her tremble. "I wanna hear yours." I whispered.

"N-No! Wait! Please, I'm sorry!" Alexis said, but I don't care about her apology anymore. I began to torture her, the ruined chamber being filled with her scream. A pool of blood slowly formed beneath our feet. She tried to break free, use her magic against me, but I was stronger than this bitch. I was enjoying it! I am so happy that I get to finally torture Alexis with my hands! As I torture her, memories of my mother's death and her smiling keeps resurfacing. But I grinned from ear to ear. I kept torturing her body, even when she was now lifeless.

When the scream stopped, I took her golden sword and decapitated her head. I released the serpentine, making it come back to me. Her headless body fell on the pool of blood. I slowly raised her head, fresh blood dripping from below. The sunlight shined on the head of Alexis, causing me to smile in victory.

"Oh, mother. Do you see this?" I brought her head closer and kissed her cheek. "This is my gift for you. Don't worry, there are more to come."
