Munivit Anima Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Hidden Madness Inside

 

I can feel my consciousness floating in a dark space. I can't see anything, nor feel my body.

While my consciousness is drifting. I began to remember everything that has happened. I was killed by the Emperor because i accidentally discover his secrets. My numb body began to feel intense anger, I was given a second chance to live, but now that chance was wasted.

I am angry, not because i was killed by the emperor, i am angry because even though i was considered strong in my past life, i was powerless in front of the emperor. Now I have died and left my mother and Lia, i'm afraid to imagine my mother crying in tears, but I am more afraid to imagine Lia is going to have a rampage in the Empire after when she receives the news of my death.

There is nothing i can do now. If only i have the power to protect myself, if only i was able to use strong magic, maybe the outcome would be different, if only i have the power to change everything. If only i can have another chance, but asking that thing would be too much.

While thinking that to myself, a deep voice resounded in my mind.

'I have the power you need.'

'I, the one who once governed the strongest race, the one who was feared, and the strongest of the strongest. I have everything that you need'

A voice filled with madness is occupying my mind, but i continued listening to it.

'If you have the resolve to take the path of destruction for the sake of my revenge, i will give you the power to change the world. The power to change everything.'

"If that's what it takes for me to go back, then I'll gladly take it" If this is my only way of going back then it is a small price to pay. I have no choice but to believe his words.

'In exchange for your soul. You will have my power.' After he said those words i can feel something enveloping me. I am being seized inside, i can feel something is changing, something is awakening inside me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the emperor killed Flint, He turns his attention to the mages to issue a command.

"Take his body and bury it outside the empire."

"Yes, your highness, but how could we explain this to his mother? I'm sure her mother would worry and try to find him."

"Eliz huh? Tell her that his son died due to accident messing up with magic items hidden in the storage room of the Empire. Don't show his body to her, Tell her that his body completely has completely perished and was buried immediately by my command." The Emperor lost his interest and walk near the Black Sphere.

"Now let's resume what we've been doing." He looked coldly at the black sphere and began to accumulate his mana into his entire body.

Red light surrounded his entire body, reinforcing his strength and he holds the black sphere in his hand, sucking every ounce of power from the sphere.

"Yes... That's it... Give me everything.." Black mana began to surround him, He can feel an intense power flowing inside his body and his eyes began to glow a red light while his grin is getting wider and wider.

Just when he thought everything is going according to his plan, the black sphere to utter some words.

'The contract is complete' The Black sphere forcefully break away from the emperor's hand.

"W-what?" This made the emperor astonished and the black mana surrounding his body has quickly disappeared and looks at the black sphere currently swiftly flying away from him.

The black sphere stopped at Flint's body and began to enclose itself to his pierced chest, then a large quantity of black mana surrounds the entire area.

"What is going on!?"

"Get a hold of yourselves everyone. This kind of thing won't kill us!" The Emperor shouted to his mages that are currently panicking.

After several seconds, the dark mane surrounding the area began to wrap flint's body in a great speed then a small explosion occurred.

The area where his body was lying down formed a small crater, but his body is nowhere to be found.

"This is.." The mages are trying to figure out what just happened, but they suddenly hear the emperor's angry voice.

"Send 12,000 knights and 3,000 mages to find him in the continent! Rhaegal must have teleported his body somewhere! " Upon hearing those words the mages began to move and run outside the cave in a hurry.

"I'm going to find you. You can't hide yourself from me forever."

The Emperor whispered in anger.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can feel my body aching as i softly open my eyes. I found myself lying on a grassy field and when i turn my eyes to look at my surroundings, I can see a large number of trees, i can feel the cool wind gently blowing my face as i try to raise my body.

"How long did i sleep?" I'm looking at the surroundings and I noticed that it's already morning so i may have slept for a several hours.

I began to comprehend everything that just happened.

"I remember that the emperor pierced my chest and took out my heart so..." I looked down at my chest to check the state of my body and my eyes focused it's gazed at the scar near in my chest located near my heart. I felt shivers just by remembering everything that has happened and if the guy with the deep voice didn't help me, i would probably be a cold corpse right now.

"But that guy..." I'm not sure, but probably the person who helped me was the dragon who was sealed and currently in the form of a soul. Now that i think about it, did he really gave me some power? I agreed to become a tool for his revenge in exchange for power and another chance to live in this world. He probably took my body and took it to this place.

Right now, i don't know where the hell i am, but i need to at least find someone to ask. I don't know if i'm still in the continent of Entros, if by chance that i'm in a foreign place then i'm screwed. Of course, there are humans living outside Entros but the majority outside of the continent are Orcs, Elves, Beastkins, Dwarves and Demons who hate humans to the core. If I accidentally encounter another race then I would have to fight or run for my life. I just wish the place where that dragon put me is not very dangerous.

"I wonder what's happening right now in the Empire?" My mother is probably very worried right now or maybe even crying if the Emperor told her that i'm dead. There is no use thinking about it right now.

"First, I need to know where i am, but i'm pretty hungry, so I guess i would find some food first."  There must be a river around this area, It's a good place to find fish to eat.

I kept walking deeper into the forest for a few hours until a luckily found one. The river is a very wide and also the current is not that strong, so i could take a bath while catching some fish at the same time, it's killing two birds in one stone.

I began to put remove my clothes, i wrapped them properly and place it under the tree nearby. I jumped into the river and the cold water engulfed my body.

"This is so refreshing!" I enjoyed the sensation of the cold water while catching some fish eat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After i finished bathing i create some small fire so that i can begin to grill the fish, I still can't use any magic, but by using the survival training in my past life I can live in this forest without having a problem.

"There you go." I placed the two big fish that i caught near the fire. While waiting for it to be cooked i began to think how to use the power that was given to me by the dragon, i tried to generate some mana earlier but i failed. I look at my palm while thinking.

"What should i do?"  If i  can't use the power that was given to then it would be impossible for me to survive in this place for a long time, I know that there might be some dangerous animal or maybe even another race around.

While i'm in a deep thought, i suddenly felt some several presence around me.

"Humans? No... If they are humans, they won't leak out this much killing intent... This is dangerous." I can feel them getting closer and closer.

"What should i do.. I'm completely surrounded"

Suddenly, A very big person revealed his self in front of me. His whole body is made up of large muscles, the color of his skin resembling different from humans and his face a pig with a little resemblance of an ape and has prominent fangs on the sides of his mouth and his hand is a massive axe made from stones and metals. It's an Orc!

"A human....." He looks at me with eyes raging in anger.

"Finally... We can make a human as our slaves! Make sure to completely surround him don't let him escape!" he calls out his friends and one by one they came out behind the trees.

"This is more than of what i expected..." I mumbled in a low voice and began to look around, there are probably around 50 orcs around me.

"I have no intentions to hurt anyone and i believe if you all just calm yourselves then we could probably talk.  I just want to know where am i and the way out of this forest, if you tell me i'll immediately leave and never bother you again" I tried to convince the orcs since it's only the option i have left, i'm not confident that i can defeat them all.

"Do you think we're fools? This would be a chance to get revenge to a human and we will not let this chance slip away!" He began to run and try to catch me, but I kicked the fire to divert him and jumped into the side of a tree.

"Wait! I bring no harm i just want to know my way out!" I scream at him while pulling myself together.

"Hahaha! A human trying to make his way out by fooling us! Make sure to not die after this because we plan on making you our own personal slave." He laughed madly while he raised his axe and began to charge at me.

He swung his axe at me, i tried to dodge by jumping behind, but my left arm was grazed by the blade of the axe. My arm began to drip some blood and i put my right hand into the wound to stop the bleeding.

The other orcs are just watching and laughing softly at me while they watch me struggle. It seems like for them, it's fun to see a human suffer slowly.

"What should i do now. Damn it!" I began cursing while keeping my distance from, i know that i can't keep dodging because eventually he'll be able to read my movements and be able to hit me fatally.

But before i even think of my next move the orc leaped over me and land in front of me, I tried to run away, but he extends his right hand to my neck, raise me up and began to choke me.

"Wrrraag...krrr...S....sto..pp it.." My consciousness is beginning to fade due to the choking and lack of oxygen.

"Listen human... You will suffer the way you did to our race... You will live the rest of your life as a slave..." He grinned at while enjoying the expression on my face that is showing a great pain.

'Kill him' Then a deep voice resounded in my mind.

Kill him? How? I ask those words inside my mind, but he gave me the same words.

'Kill him'

What the hell! I can't even move my body, there's no way I could do that!

'Kill hiiim!'

Those words resounded in my again, but this time it has a strong tone, then my right hand move on it's own and easily slashed the hand of the orc that was currently choking me.

"H-how!?" The Orc widened his eyes while looking at me.

I, on the other hand, was also surprised from what just happened, but when I look at my right hand, a black mana is enveloped around it and you can feel that you're gonna get devoured just by looking at it.

"This is.." I'm very surprised to see the intensity of power in my right hand, so maybe by using this i can survive this disaster.

"Here i go." I took the chance while the orc is still dumbfounded and slide below him, he looked at me in surprise and i can see based from his reaction that he didn't expect me to attack him. I jumped forward and slash my right hand into his neck, then his neck flew away from his body.

After i confirmed that i killed him. I can feel that something inside me has awakened and i feel such pleasure from killing the orc, then after that i began to feel the madness swelling up inside me.

The Orcs  began to have a stir, but they immediately calm down and began leaking out a terrifying killing intent, but i ignored them.

"This is.... Mmhahahahaha!" A strange madness and pleasure has invaded me inside and I began to laugh madly.

"yEs! ThIs Is pOwEr! I nEeD to KilL yOu AlL!! MmMhaHaha!" My heart was completely taken over.

The Orcs were a little bit surprised, but it didn't falter them and attack me all at once.

I Dashed straight to the one of the orcs and before he swing his axe i cut his right arm and put his head between my two hands.

"Ahhh!" He began to scream in pain as i began to squeeze his head into my two hands.

"HaHAhAhA! YeS tHatS iT.. ScrEam In Pain." I threw his body to the side
after i completely squeezed his head then i turned my attention to the other Orcs. They began to look me in fear, i can even see some of them beginning to wet their pants.

The black mana that's enveloping my right hand slowly begins to envelop my entire body. It didn't stop until my entire body is flowing with dark mana.

"HaHAhAhA.. WhAt's WroNg I tHoUgHt yOu gUyS aRe gOiNg to mAke mE yoUr SlAvE!? " I looked at them with eyes full of bloodlust.

But suddenly i can feel some part of my body began to change. My back began to hurt and I feel like something is going out of my back and suddenly two black horns began to come out from my forehead.

"WaaaAAaaAAaAHahahah!" I screamed and laugh at the same time.

I can feel something in my back has come out and when i turned around to look at it there are large black wings with one small horn to each side of it and when i try to flap the they move just as i want. I became a humanoid dragon.

My heart and soul are currently filled with massive madness and pleasure from killing.My body turned so different and my clothes were completely ripped apart as my muscles began to expand.

The Orcs watched at me in both amazement and fear, but i took that chance to accumulate dark mana in my both hands. When then we saw it, they began to run as fast as they can from me.

"HahAhA! FoOoOlishNeSs! DiE!" I released the dark mana in my hands and released it towards the running orcs. Everything was devoured in it's path the trees completely disappeared, destroying the soil below while leaving it's trail and made a very big explosion in the area.

I flew towards the area of explosion and saw a massive crater, The Orcs were completely incinerated leaving nothing behind.

"YeS! ThIs PlEaSurE oF KiLlinG.. I lOvE iT! I wAnNa FeEl MorE MadNess I waNt To KiLl MOOORE!!!" I can't think of nothing other than killing.

"MoOrE! MoOre! I WaNt MoOre! KiLl! kIlL! KilL! KilL! kilL! AAaaRRrrGh!!!!"

My body began to ache so much like being stabbed by many swords while I felt that my insides are being dissected and the black man enveloping my body began to fade little by little and my consciousness began to fade away. I dived into the ground and once again i lay unconscious in the forest.
