Frederick frowned hearing Heilford's soft murmur. A look of resignation appeared on his face.
Swoosh!
At the next moment, Heilford spurted blood straight at Frederick's face. Sensing danger, he moved his body sideways to dodge but an ample amount of blood fell over his face.
"Khkkmmmm!"
Frederick groaned as the layer of skin over his face burnt. It was so horrific that his jaws and cheekbones were exposed.
Stepping forward, Heilford mustered his remaining strength, to slash his claws.
"Frederick!"
Swish!
Parth charging like a cannon pushed Frederick away but in doing so, the claws scratch over his back, making his steps falter due to the influx of psi
Unsatisfied, Heilford roared and swung his claw again with all his might. Even if he was on the verge of dying, he couldn't be underestimated.
BANG!
Heilford stumbled across the place, as something struck his body like lightning.
Squinting his eyes, he saw Lucas slamming himself against his body. As he tried to balance himself, his face was punched with great force.
Lucas whose heart had been fire punched squeezed out every bit of strength he could muster.
Heilford's body was sent flying by Lucas's hard punch anthrashingng on the ground, he rolled around for a few meters.
Coughing a mouthful of blood, he tried to get up, but a sharp dagger struck down his palm and pinned it on the ground and the other was pierced with a sword that nudged and anchored him onto the ground.
Crunching onto the ground, a mournful scream erupted from his lips but it was shut down by Lucas who stuffed pieces of stone that he picked from the ground to gag his mouth fearing the acid blood attack.
"Kheu...Kheum...Kheummm....."
Heilford wrestled trying to break free of the sharp object pinching him down. It was then something hurling towards him that covered his vision.
BAAM!
Picking up a rock, Lucas smashed it over his face. The soft sandy rocks burst out into pieces.
Heilford's face quivered a bit and his nose tickled. The attack didn't hurt a lot. After a momentary relapse in his vision, as soon as his eyes fell on Lucas sitting over him, all his hair turned white in fear.
A bloody murderous intent flashed over Lucas's eyes. His golden eyes seemed to be burning fiercely seeing which, a chill crept down his spine. Rolling his eyes, his body jolted as he saw Lucas wrapping a chain container of sharp thorns over his fist.
"Stop staring!"
BAAM!
Lucas slammed his fist straight at his face.
Staring at the bloody hideous face, Lucas's eyes turned bloody. Without caring about anything, he smashed again and again.
"You don't deserve to be born as a human being. Even demons are way better than you. At least, they are faithful to their wishes, unlike you hiding behind the mask of a gentleman while committing all kinds of atrocious deeds."
BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
The veins in his arms bulged out as the force behind the punch increased. Layers of dirt swept by as small gales erupted from the fierce aftermath of the punch.
A hot bloodied feeling passed over Heilford's face, the taste of biting metal followed by a sharp stinging pain right between the eyes interfering with his eye's vision.
The cacophony of wreaking bones emitted.
"Lucas, calm down."
"He wants to be telling us something."
It was only when he heard Frederick and Parth's voices, he stopped his voice. Snapping out, he looked at the bloodied mess.
His fist trembled as the thorns dug into his fist and his tarsal bones seemed to have cracked. Ignoring the pain, he thumped his fist again and pulled out the rocks stuffed in his mouth and let Heilford recover.
Through his bloodied vision, he saw three boys looking at him in disgust.
"I don't care what you think of me."
"I just wanted to bring back my wife. I don't have much of a choice. They would have killed me and my entire orphanage if I didn't agree."
Tears trickled down from his eyes as he remembered about his dead wife.
"Foolish!!"Lucas snorted and further added, "Did you think you could bring her back? It seems someone has used you by fueling your delusional fantasy."
"Impossible! They promised me and even signed the contract!"Heilford tried to refute.
"They gave you a choice and you accepted without thinking about consequences," Parth spoke in disbelief.
"How can you be that naive? Did you think one can be resurrected from death? Even if she is brought back, she would just be an empty shell."Frederick spoke.
"I said, I did not have a choice. They asked me to collaborate or they will forcefully take down the children. So, I thought at least some children will be safe after we make a few sacrifices and it will also help me to hold onto that gentle hope. If I have said no, then those who are alive tonight have already died."Heilford shouted.
"Haaaa!"Lucas pinched his brows.
Heilford frowned seeing Lucas darkened eyes.
"Listen here Mr Heillford. Stop blaming others. You did it for your greed and…"
"Real men don't make choices, they create their own choices. You succumbed to the circumstances so don't try to justify your actions in the name of your dead wife. You agreed because you fear death not because you wanted to bring back your wife."
"So, stop being a hypocrite you damn fucker."Lucas burst out angrily and shouted, "Do you think, your wife and dead children watching you from heaven will be clapping for your sincere attempt or do you think they would dance happily after knowing the sacrifices you have offered in exchange to bring them back?"
"No, it can't be. I did this for them. They should be happy."
"No, they aren't. They would be cursing you and would want to tear you into pieces after knowing the truth so stop your swallow act."
"Nooooooooooooo!"
"It can't be."Heilford refuted with all his might and wriggled his hands with agitation.
"If you can't accept the fact, ask them in the afterlife."
BANG!
Lucas lodged the dagger straight into Heilford's skull and split it open without any mercy."
"What the hell?"Parth screamed in shock.
"Wait, Lucas! Why did you kill him suddenly? I thought you were gonna ask him about the people behind that's why you kept talking so far."Frederick freaked out.
Lucas stood and gave Frederick a darkened gaze, speaking indifferently"I already know about the assholes behind this."
