As I held the barbarian's leader head in my grip I gazed at them coldly and utter just a single word.
"Next.."
Immediately they all roared out and started charging towards me, straight towards there deaths. It was as if a army of 10,000 highly killed warriors havent fazed me. I felt no fear.
The first solider who approached me I cut him down without hesitation, slipping him in two with my katana, running up behind me was a next one, by quickly stooping low I swung my blade and slipt his body in half..
It carried on like this, over and over and over, There screams were like a calming song to my ears, as I bathe within there blood, there pain, there screams... More of my own pain seem to be washed away.. As I cut off a arm of a man, watching him scream out for his missing limb, I stepped down in his face crushing his head below my feet with force.
In the mids of all this Chaos and blood shed, It felt as though I was floating in a dream...
I remembered it clearly...
Her smile, her kindness, her warmth, the way she looked out for my well-being and cared for me despite my flaws..
The way her hair smelled like the fresh scent of summer, harsh yet refreshing..
A fire that would warm the coldest of nights and a soul that could be colder than any weather.
She was the light that brough meaning to this mundane world we were reincarnated into... She was my reason to try to be better, to try harder within this life.. Within this chance I was given... And just like the previous Lives.. I still lost her...
I still broke her heart..
Is this the price I have to pay for my crimes, If so, then so be it... I will be the monster this world needs if I can't be the hero.
I'll be there tyrant that bring rise to a hero... And most of all I'll be the one to reshape this world where she can live in a better world without conflict..
As I stood a top a hill of corpses once more, I dont know how much time has passed, all I remebered was that I was bathe In blood and I was frozen looking up into the sky dazed, if I could name this state I was in, It would be called point zero.
Walking slowly was three females, two mature woman and a young lady, they were Rusalka, Taleya and My adopted daughter Mia.
Behind them was a army of 5,000 demon soliders, all of which were in shock at what they saw before them.
Mia spoke up.
"Your Majesty... Are you ok?"
Gazing at my child I saw the worry in her eyes, just like Rusalka and Taleya, from what it seem, I alone slay the 10,000 strong army of barbarian's.. As I tried to speak I suddenly felt my body went weak and before I knew it I was laying in the arms of a crying Taleya.
Speaking weakly I called to her..
"Taleya.... why are you crying?.."
"Why am I crying? You were reckless you big dummy.. Facing an army of 10,000 highly killed warriors alone... Were you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Heh... I did beat them though..."
"Dummy... You could have died.."
As I smiled at her, slowly everything went dark and I found myself in this place of absolute nothingness and standing before me was a younger version of Sylphiette..
"It's you... Does this mean I am dead?"
"Mnm.. Your not... Your body is just going through some changes right now.. After all you did slay 10,000 warriors... Your evolution Into a true demonic king is commencing or better term.. Your evolving into a true Demon Lord. Your life, your constitution and most of all your future will forever be altered now.. Your path will not be a easy one.."
Gazing at the woman before me, I smiled at her softly.
"I see.... I guess there is no going back now.."
"No..."
"I see.... Since that's the case, I guess this is goodbye... Isnt it.."
"Yes...."
Gazing down I smiled softly..
"Thank you Lorelei, For loving me , Both in our previous lives and this one... I regret nothing..."
With saying only that, she gave me a warm smile before her younger version of her self started to fade away before me leaving me with one last goodbye.
"Take goodcare of yourself Mikhail... I as well regret nothing... For giving you my love in those lives and this one... I'm sorry that we just kept hurting each other though... See you again someday if our souls meet again.."
And with that she was gone, my past and now the present... All was left was the future.. One I have to carve out myself.. Alone, Maybe..
