Chapter 331: Alex wants that power!
Alex stared at the man with widened eyes and clenched teeth. He couldn’t approach Erik and also couldn’t understand the process behind the demon’s creation.
But amidst those screams, Alex suddenly heard Erik’s thoughts.
[You fucking bastard! You sacrificed her… to become the hungry demon?!]
[I had… no other choice…]
[You heartless bastard! Sis loved you! She fought alongside you so you could live in a normal world!]
[Shut up! I will find… someone better in Paradise!]
[Paradise…]
[Erik… I’m sorry… I neglected you, didn’t I? I’m… such a stupid sister…]
[Sister…]
[Hehe… At least you found… good friends… Roy and Rikka are nice people… I can even see you and Rikka getting together… You will know then… how hard it is to… take care of… some…one…].
Alex listened to those cries with his heart aching. Those feelings behind the brother and sister’s voices were too genuine, filled with more emotions than one could handle.
But as Alex had his phrase where he felt like dropping the world, he fared much better against those memories.
Erik’s demon leaned down, his skin wrapping Erik’s body. The right hand turned into a glove to hold Erik’s red sword. The left hand, a shield, disappeared within Erik’s body.
He soon became like a humanoid and smaller version of his fears.
His demon whispered to Erik, “You will never see her again. That sword won’t kill that bastard if you fail to enter Paradise.
You won’t resurrect your sister if you don’t step into Paradise. Your shield will become meaningless.
You will never see her again…” The demon continued repeating those words.
[Sister… Those bastards betrayed us… I think we will become antagonists… After I become one, I will become as strong as Yasir.
I will bring you back…]
[Paradise… I don’t really… want to… go here…]
[Why?]
[My paradise was… when I could… cook for you… When we could… go to sleep.. with our bellies full… When we didn’t… have to worry… about… rent… That’s… Paradise…]
[I will go here, nonetheless… I will bring you back and mete out the punishment! No matter how many lives I take, I will see paradise with you! I want you to be happy!]
[Idiot…]
“A world named Paradise doesn’t sound like a paradise,” Erik said in a hoarse voice, stepping slowly toward Alex, in his red armor, “I think that killers like me only have one paradise, which is death.
But as long as I have this fear, a fear of not fulfilling my promise and not seeing my sister, I will continue to tread in this world as the killer.
This immortality will fade when I see my sister’s smile,” Erik added, his presence heightening with every step, “To achieve all of this, I must erase all enemies who can potentially hinder our victory. You must be eliminated, Alexander Mao.”
And then, as if waiting for that moment, a voice came from Alex’s soul, “If you lost one of your wives, how many lives would you sacrifice?”
Alex immediately replied, his heart as selfish as usual, “I would sacrifice as many as required. If I had to destroy two worlds, I would find a way to find the third world, just so I can live here with my wives and their families.
And then, I would sacrifice two worlds,” Alex explained his heart to the lady living in his heart.
Ivonne smiled adorably, her mana wrapping around Alex’s arms, “I’m your demon. As much as I hate to tempt you, those questions will turn you stronger.
But as you refuse to use the mana, I will share mine with you.”
After the question, Ivonne unlocked a way to release some of her power.
Alex’s Asura’s Arms turned stronger, their physical power increasing tenfold. Mana coursed much easier through these, blending with Alex’s skills.
“You will find many people like him in the antagonist’s ranks. But in this particular case, you both seem the same. You surely would understand each other… But you can’t change your sides, though.
So don’t hold back… and enslave him,” Ivonne said in a good mommy tone.
Alex clenched his hands, his Asura Hands doing the same, “The antagonists and the guardians… They are the same, aren’t they?”
“The guardians wanted a restart… and live a comfortable life for a while… The antagonists want to enter Paradise, see their beloveds, and start a new life here,” Ivonne explained.
No one knew what exactly was Paradise. But it wasn’t hard to tell that it was a place with battles and some fantasy hierarchy. After all, the antagonists from all over the world could meet here.
Like Erik wanted to kill one bastard there, many others had their killing lists.
“Those concepts come from the same source! They are two sides of the same coin, so there has to be a way to make them coexist!” Alex said, his eyes narrowed as Erik extended his hand to slash forward.
After his headless body blocked the slash, the demon and player entered a heavy, fast-paced battle of wits and swordsmanship. Sparks flashed, the sky shook, and nothing else appeared in the high battleground, for Alex and Erik became too fast for the naked eye.
Ivonne shook her head in Alex’s soul ocean, “They can’t coexist… Anyway, this guy’s demon is a pure battle type, increasing his stats. If I remember well, Erik had a signature move to duplicate his sword techniques. Keep an eye on that.”
Alex took those words to heart, but he didn’t give up on his idea, “My wives became players, entering my world. They became residents of Earth, didn’t they?!”
“That’s because of your father’s-” Ivonne said, but Alex’s next words froze her.
“I can cut their concept!” Alex shouted, recalling his previous ideas.
He told Sara about the immortal army. Back then, he wanted to get the hungry demon’s concept for his battle spirits and wives.
He wanted to help them.
That was impossible, knowing the antagonists better now.
“I will cut his concept and snatch it for myself!” Alex declared, his words causing Ivonne to grow frightened!
At the same time, Erik howled, “I will steal your legendary class.”
Alex smiled, “You will never steal it away from me. Instead, I will take your antagonist concept, blend it with guardian mana, and enslave all of you.
If there’s no clear victor, the two worlds will continue to exist! If no one ever did it before, I will be the first one to do it!” Alex swore for he would solve so many problems in this way!
He wanted that power!
No one sane would go for such a power, though. Even Erik momentarily stopped swinging his sword, thinking that Alex was saying those words to throw him out of his focus.
He ignored him from that moment forward, darting forward like an arrow. His sword was at the helm, ready to thrust into the headless body.
But as Alex swathed in the holy aura with the mist giving him enough room to hide from Erik’s senses, Erik needed to exert more strength to deal with Alex.
Once he entered the dense mist, Erik lifted his sword, “Enough of your jokes and gullible ideas, Alexander Mao!”
