Chapter 150 - Cap 149: Synthesis Skill Acquired

The plan I made to kill that Alchemist was successful, but I started to regret killing him so quickly that Alchemist, see what he did to those people, see what he did even to children, I would really like to follow Layla's desire to make him suffer before he died, but she couldn't put the plan to waste when before they finished what they were doing best, it was risky enough for them to start stealing things from the laboratory. 

I opened my eyes after calming down a bit and standing up, I was on the veranda of my room, all I had to do now was wait for them to come back in a few minutes. 

Ding! 

<[ You gained 129 EXP from enemy kills by the hired Fairy ]>

.

.

.

<[ You have leveled up ]>

.

.

.

<[ Your work has reached the maximum level ]> 

I also seem to get EXP when the Fairy I've contracted with kills someone, but this is no time to think about that right now. 

Sigh 

"(The next step is going to be unpleasant.)" (I) 

"How was the mission, master?"  (Freya) 

"Huh!?"  (I) 

At some point, Freya appeared behind me holding a tray with a glass of juice and a sandwich. 

"How long have you been here?"  (I) 

"From the beginning, I was a little surprised when you started emitting bloodlust, but I kept waiting for you to wake up, when I saw your expression relax I went to get you a snack."  (Freya) 

"Thanks for the snack."  (I) 

I take the sandwich in one hand and the glass of juice in the other and start eating and drinking. 

"Where are the others?"  (I) 

"Leo and Caryna are having a tour of the city, Tania and Anton are doing some work in their workshops and the others are training in the back of the mansion."  (Freya) 

"After Kira comes back I don't want anyone interrupting me."  (I) 

"You're going to eat that Alchemist aren't you?"  (Freya) 

"Yes, this time I'm going to devour the entire body, it won't be a pleasant sight, so don't let anyone get close."  (I) 

"As the master wishes."  (Freya) 

I look at Freya who keeps a gentle and calming smile on her beautiful face, wondering how she can keep that expression with me telling me I'm going to completely devour a person's body. 

"Is there something on my face, master?"  (Freya) 

Freya puts her hand to her face and tries to see her reflection in the empty tray in her hand. 

"I was just thinking about how you feel knowing what I'm going to do with that Alchemist."  (I) 

"I understand master, you've already told us about your ability, I know you don't like what you're going to do, I also know it won't be for fun but to get something you need."  (Freya) 

"I also know that you made all that effort to find someone as bad as this Alchemist because you didn't want to do any harm to innocent people, otherwise it wouldn't have been easier to find another Alchemist with the skill you're looking for."  (Freya) 

"Thank you for understanding, but I don't think other people will be as understanding as you if they know what I'm doing."  (I) 

"That's true, if you were in a Demon Realm you wouldn't need to worry too much, but you better be careful in a Human Realm, even the Elves won't like to know what you're doing."  (Freya) 

"But as long as the master doesn't lose his head and start killing innocent people, I'll continue by his side, the simple fact that you don't hide anything from us, whether good or bad, already shows how much you place your trust in everyone in this mansion and I will not betray that trust."  (Freya) 

"Thank you for your words, being with you all helps me a lot, thank you."  (I) 

As I finished eating the lunch Freya brought me Kira returned, she came straight to my room with Byakko and Layla. 

"Master, we are back."  (Kira) 

"Welcome back."  (I) 

Layla flies like a missile towards my head and hugs my face. 

"I'm back, did the master miss me?"  (Layla) 

"Welcome back, now can you drop my face?"  (I) 

"No, I missed the master a lot, how dare you send me on a mission far from you?"  (Layla) 

"Leave me you sticky fairy."  (I) 

"Not!!!"  (Layla) 

After a few minutes of trying to get that fairy off my face, I managed, but my face is all scratched up, as punishment I used my threads to tie that annoying fairy and threw it on the bed. 

"Back to the subject, how was the mission from your perspective Kira?"  (I) 

"It went as planned, I don't think we left any clues behind, as the master is planning to devour this Alchemist's entire body there shouldn't be any evidence left so I don't think we need to worry about the criminal organization behind this Alchemist finding out about us."  (Kira) 

"Very well, thank you for your excellent work as always."  (I) 

"Where are the storage items?"  (I) 

"They still have the Fairy tied up there."  (Byakko) 

"..." (I) 

When I look at Layla I see her freezing and then breaking my lines. 

"You don't know how to play, you didn't need to tie me up like that."  (Layla) 

Layla waves her hand and the space in front of her ripples, so she places her hands inside the ripple, retrieving everything she has inside. 

"Here are the storage items."  (Layla) 

I run my index finger over Layla's head gently, then pick up just the storage item where the Alchemist's body is. 

"Kira, I want you to take all the other storage items to Nira, ask her to identify each of the items inside, I want to know the rarity of each one, the prices of each, and what each is used for."  (I) 

"Yes, I'll give it to her now."  (Kira) 

Without saying anything else Kira leaves my room carrying the storage items, only me, Layla, and Freya are left in the room. 

"I think you two better get out, what I'm going to do now won't be a pleasant thing to see."  (I) 

"I don't care about these things, go ahead."  (Layla) 

"Allow me to see master, I'm not as naive as my daughter, during the years I was alive I saw many things and I know the darkness of this world, I won't care what the master will do with this scum."  (Freya) 

"The decision is up to you."  (I) 

I first removed the Alchemist's fat body from the storage item, then removed all of his clothing and threw it in the corner, then placed some MP potions on the nearest table if needed. 

"Then I want this Alchemist's clothes incinerated."  (I) 

"I'll take care of it master."  (Freya) 

After making this request I used the non-elemental magic Érica taught me to make the Alchemist's body float, then I used water element magic to make a sphere of water that covered the Alchemist's entire body. 

With all the preparation done I activate my ability [ Corrosion: 5 ] which gives the characteristic of corrosion to my mana, as the water sphere is made with my mana it ended up becoming an acid sphere that started to corrode the entire body of the Alchemist. 

It was a grotesque sight to see the skin disappear then see the flesh and muscle underneath disintegrate until the blood spread through the sphere obstructing the view, but as this is an ability of mine I can feel it trying to corrode the body and I can see my MP going down. 

It took almost an hour to finish and I had to drink two MP potions so I deactivated my corrosion ability and got close to the sphere and started drinking it in big gulps, this also took a while because of the sphere's size, but I managed to ingest it all, in the end not a single piece of bone was left. 

"What a disgusting taste."  (I) 

Ding!  Ding!  Ding! 

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Corrosion: 5 > 6 ] ]>

• [ Summary: 1 ] ]>

.

<[ You have acquired the following titles:

• [ Master Alchemist ]

• [ Perverted ] ]> 

"(What the hell is this?)" (I) 

"(Because I have this damn pervert title, I'm still a virgin in this world, to tell you the truth I died a virgin in my old world too, because of always being sick.)" (I) 

I was doing my best not to cry, I never thought I would have a title like that, but at least I got the skill I wanted, I also got some Alchemist skills. 

I'm lucky to have a skill that allowed me to eat more than triple my weight in food, it's been a while since this skill leveled up, but I guess that's because I haven't been eating enough. 

After calming down a bit I look around and see Layla giving me a beautiful smile, I also see Freya with her kind work smile that she always keeps on her face. 

"I hope you enjoyed the show."  (I) 

"It was fun to see that bastard turn to soup and then get devoured by the master, but next time I meet someone like him I suggests doing it with him alive, it's going to be a lot more fun."  (Layla) 

"Are you sure you're a fairy?"  (I) 

"What are you talking about master, of course, I'm a fairy."  (Layla) 

"Because in my eyes you look more like a Demon."  (I) 

"The master may not know it, but the Elves who have a good relationship with Fairies for generations know that they are extreme beings, they are usually cheerful, kind, kind, and friendly, they are hardly irritated creatures and they are easy to get along with, but when they get angry they are more cruel, fierce and brutal than Demons."  (Freya) 

"Why does it seem like she's more cruel than friendly?"  (I) 

"Maybe that's what she went through, she goes from one extreme to the other much faster and easier than other Fairies."  (Freya) 

"Why are you guys talking about me like I'm not here?"  (Layla) 

"The subject should be about the master devouring that fat one."  (Layla) 

"I must admit it was a little shocking, but people are devoured by monsters all the time, there are even races that eat each other, so you don't need to think about it too much master."  (Freya) 

"Thanks for telling me this, but I don't plan on doing this very often, one of the reasons I do this with this Alchemist was to not leave anything of his body behind, now I want you to burn his clothes."  (I) 

"I will do that now."  (Freya) 

I see Freya pick up the Alchemist's clothes and leave, I throw myself on my bed, I'm so full I can barely move.
