Chapter 66 Hatred - The Worst Feeling

B-rank Dungeon, Lava Lake, Barren Area

"Someone strong is coming our way…" (Rio)

'Why does it feel that I have felt this aura before?... But I can't properly remember it…' (Rio)

"Eh, how do you kno-" (Link)

Just as Link was about to say something, a spear came flying toward them..

"Dodge!" (Rio)

Both Rio and Link jumped back in order to dodge the shockwave created by the landing of the spear on the ground.

The spear landed on the ground and the ground around ten meters of the area was destroyed by the impact and a huge amount of debris was blown away from this single attack.

"Just barely dodged it, phew~" (Link)

"What I didn't see any monster in this dungeon using spears until now, where did this come from-" (Link)

"Here it comes…" (Rio)

A huge bang sound could be heard the very next moment as if someone has just landed from a high place. The dust created by the landing was blocking the view, but two red eyes can be seen glowing among that huge dust cloud.

Slowly the huge dust cloud dissipated and a person could now be seen standing beside the spear, he is wearing a pitch-black armor with golden linings on it, and there is a golden insignia on that armor's chest plate.

"That insignia…. It's a demon!" (Link)

"That's not the only thing, see that strange golden imprint on the helmet… this guy… he is from the royal family of demons…" (Rio)

"What!? What's a royal demon doing, so inside of the human nation!?" (Link)

Link's eyes widened in surprise, no one could have expected that they would meet a royal demon during their final exam. This could be considered the worst exam possible now.

(Royal Demons- They are part of the family of the Demon king, they have a special token given by the demon king himself and they can command a huge number of the demon army by using that token. Not to mention that token, they themselves have the strength of an E-ranker from birth, and their physique could rival a dragon.)

(Every royal demon has to at least get a win on the battlefield or have to hunt a dragon to get the right to live in the demon castle freely, otherwise, they are not acknowledged as royal demons, to begin with. You could consider that every royal demon has to go through hellish battles to get the token from the demon king.)

"Huh, you two seem to be a bit more stronger and intelligent than all the human children I met on my way here, everyone else was too weak, I wonder how much strong you two are, let's cut the chit-chat and talk while we cross-fight, hahahaha" (Prince)

'That black spear with strange incantations and words written on it in dark red… those Red eyes shining through the helmet…. Ah, remember now… how I forgot something so important…' (Rio)

"It was you…. wasn't it…" (Rio)

A crazed look appeared on Rio's expressionless face for the first time, his eyes could be seen burning with immense hatred, and the aura around Rio became so dense and thick that it could be seen with naked eyes now.

Even Link was surprised by looking at the expression Rio was making right now…

[Body Strengthening!]

The ground started to crack under Rio's feet

[Concentration!]

Rio's killing intent became so thick that it could give palpitations to anyone

[Formless sword: Pierce-type sword!]

Rio's sword converted and took the shape of a very thin sword with a sharp tip on it, this sword is extremely optimal for piercing and thrusting through the gaps in armor.

[Sword Aura: Sword sharpening!]

The black sword aura could be visibly seen looming around the sword due to its extreme density now.

"It was you, wasn't it Prince Alverto Chronosperdere!" (Rio)

"Hmm, you know my nam-" (Alverto)

Just as Alverto was about to complete his sentence, he felt an immense sense of danger from his back, he immediately jumped aside to avoid the attack, but as if his dodging pattern was already predicted the pointed sword followed him without leaving no room for rest.

"You are strong! Human! Good this is what I have been waiting for!" (Alverto)

[Blessing of demonic Bloodline!]

[Blessing of Miasma!]

[Body Strengthening!]

[Aura of fallen Blood!]

"Let's dance to our heart's content human!" (Alverto)

"I will kill you!!!!!" (Rio)

The hate in Rio's eyes could make a normal person dizzy, this hatred was so immense that it was driving Rio to fight and attack fiercer and crazier.

The pointed sword stabbed towards those two red eyes but was deflected by the spear, the spear aimed towards Rio's heart but was dodged and counterattacked at immense speed by more stabs, and the ground in the area was shattered from the huge air pressure created by these attacks alone, and an ordinary person would have died by these shockwaves by now.

Just as Alverto was about to dodge the attack aimed towards his heart, the pointed sword changed its trajectory and stabbed towards the left hand…

'Not good! The attack at heart was a feint!' (Alverto)

The attack was already unavoidable now, the pointed sword stabbed the left hand of Alverto, but the impact created by it destroy the whole left hand of Alverto to pieces together with the armor, Alverto jumped back and stared at Rio for a bit and said:

"Such immense hatred, I wonder why that is?" (Alverto)

[Demonic Regeneration!]

Alverto was trying to buy a small amount of time to regenerate his hand, but Rio didn't even give him time to breathe let alone regenerate.

"IT WAS YOU! YOU WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED MY MOTHER, MY FATHER!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" (Rio)

As Rio screamed that, he aimed at the neck of Alverto's armor and attacked with full speed.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thousand fire thrusts!]

'Not good!' (Alverto)

"DIE!!!" (Rio)

[Time acceleration!]

Suddenly the time for Alverto accelerated and he moved two times faster in the same amount of time, he successfully dodged the attack which could have concluded his story today…

'It seems I would have to go serious now…' (Alverto)

Forest Area

"We have been walking in the same direction for a long time now, what are you looking for, Kira" (Liam)

Kira didn't answer Liam's question at all and continued walking further. Liam clicked his tongue and followed behind…

Suddenly Kira stopped and just as Liam was about to say something, a person appeared from behind the huge trees.

"Oh! Kira! It's you! What a coincidence that I met you here, inside the dungeon!" (Fade)

"I was looking for you, that's why we were able to meet, nothing else…" (Kira)

"Oh, is that so!" (Fade)

"Hey, what's the meaning of this Kira! Don't tell me you were looking for this trash all this time?" (Liam)

"Who are you? And how dare you call me trash? Apologize right now otherwise I would kill you right here, I don't care about who is backer or anything!" (Fade)

"This trash, really has a huge ego, did no one teach you that a trash like you isn't worthy of hanging around someone like Kira-" (Liam)

Just as Liam was about to complete his sentence, Kira suddenly said:

"Brother Liam, now that I have met with Fade, you can leave now, I will partner with Fade now, you don't have to protect me anymore…." (Kira)

Hearing Kira's words, Liam felt his heart being shattered to pieces, he knew that the Kira he once knew was no more now, he knew that there was no point in continuing this talk, there was only one way out now from this…

"Good….. Good! HAHAHAHA…. I can now kill this trash without any regrets now…. Good!" (Liam)

He could now feel the immense hatred, he was feeling as if his heart was ripped apart and torn to shreds, his hatred filled eyes were now staring at Fade with immense killing intent.

Author's Note

Question of the day

Have you ever felt immense hatred, how does it feel?

Comment down your story…

Personally, when I felt it for the first time, I was betrayed by a friend, he blamed me for a thing he had done. And the teacher actually believed him. That feeling of hatred feels like your heart is restless and your throat is dry, you can't wait to tear apart the person who has betrayed you. But of course, I didn't do that, I ended up going into depression for a few months and then recovered, that's it, I never got the revenge...

But of course, I never talked to that friend ever again till this day. The childhood friendship was broken in just a few seconds that day. This is the reality of the world.

But whatever that's a long gone past now….
