3166 Not Hell (Part 2)

"My life on Earth was hell. I was weak. Alone. I suffered for years and no one cared. I had to endure my father's beatings and watch him hit Carl, feeling like the useless coward I was." Derek growled in fury.

"I could just stand there and do nothing while my brother's murderer walked out of the courtroom a free man. I had to get terminal cancer to find the strength to get some justice.

"My second life on that fucking ship was hell too. I was a cripple who couldn't walk. I couldn't explain myself or understand others. I could only suffer from hunger and isolation, praying that whoever I met would have mercy on me.

"This life, however, is different." The Void said with a savage smile on his face. "Here I suffer and I'm alone, but at least I'm strong. So strong that I can tear men apart like paper and lift cattle with one hand.

"I have incredible powers, magic, and even telekinesis. This is nothing like hell. Yet since I've got this hunger that makes me hurt everyone around me, this isn't paradise either.

"I'll tell you what I think, little guy. This is an opportunity. If I understand how to master my powers and control my weakness, I'll be unstoppable. And you know what's the best part?" Derek asked and this time he took a pause to let Ragnar?k reply.

The angry blade listened to the rhythmic pulse of Chaos in Derek's veins and remained silent. Ragnar?k knew the answer and it terrified the blade.

"That even if I fail, this time it's not going to be just my problem. The world won't keep spinning no matter how deep in shit I am. It's going to be everyone's problem."

Hessar Region, Royal main road to the capital, a few hours earlier.

All those involved in the search for Lith moved to the site of the brigand's attack on Borj's family as soon as they could. The first to arrive was Xenagrosh. Between her access to most Gate networks and her Dragonspeed, there were few places on Garlen she couldn't reach in a matter of minutes.

'I'm sorry for Lith's friends but I'm not going to take any chance that the Royals find him first and one of their goons screws things up. Lith might be a hero to people but politics are shit.

'If the wrong person finds him, I bet my scaly ass they might try to murder him with the excuse he was violent or frame him for a massacre too big for the Royals to pardon him.

'There are too many people that would pay Lith's weight in gold just to take him down a peg.' She activated her Eldritch ability, Stalking Predator, to draw in all the auras in the vicinities and assimilate them into her body.

She picked out one Abomination-hybrid energy signature, three dead men's scents, and as many horse corpses. The other smells belonged to regular humans, one female and two males, and they all moved in the direction of the nearest city.

'There's no foul play yet. Everything is as stated in the report.' Xenagrosh thought. 'The only thing out of place is Lith's smell and energy signature. Back near Vidun's cabin, I sensed only his Abomination aura.

'Now I can smell his Dragon side so he's alive and healing. Yet there is no trace of his human side at all. What if it's damaged beyond repair? Can Lith survive without his human life force and if yes, would he still be a Tiamat or become like me?'

The answer both scared and excited Zoreth.

It excited her because having a second member of her species would make her less alone. She would have someone who could truly understand her and with whom to share her burden.

Also, it would have made it much easier for Lith to enter the Organization.

'I'm sorry, My Liege. I came here as fast as I could but someone beat me to it. They have cleaned up the area beyond what even the spells you taught us can recover.' Bas'Ren said via their bond. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
