Lirian sliced through the crowd now that he said his piece.
But he didn't go in to kill all those responsible he let them watch, he wanted them to witness the extermination of their people, he wanted them to understand whose fault it was.
And besides, there were two girls being held back by the mayor and his wife, who Lirian planned to give a way out, at least they tried to learn the truth it would be their reward, and he planned to grant them another reward as well.
One that would change the way they looked at the world forever and set them upon a path that would make even the privileged youths of the empires envy them.
(A/N: when I speak of the empire here, I'm referring to the empires of this world not the six great civilisations.)
One that could easily get them killed, but on the of chance that they weathered the trials sent their way, it was possible that they would emerge in this world as its proud children, all of that would be up to fate.
It was also possible that the girls would choose to die with their parents, a choice Lirian hoped they would not make, he did kind of like the two of them, but it would be their choice at the end of the day.
In no time at all the villagers fled in a panic, they rushed back in all directions to try confusing Lirian but Lirian chased them down and slaughtered his way through them, the entire area from the village gate to the burning bridge became a sea of corpses, and standing still was a small group, of only 15 people.
They seemed to realise that Lirian attacked those that ran first, when he was done Lirian turned back to face the small group of survivors then he spoke to Layla.
"Why don't you tell them all the truth," Lirian said, "It doesn't make a difference anymore, you are all going to die anyway," he said focusing his charm on her.
Layla's entire body squirmed at the thought, and a crazed look entered her eyes as she looked at Lirian, even now her greatest desire was to have a taste of Lirian's body, it was all part of her plan, she hoped that once he was killed they'd give her his body, to do with as she pleased, after all she did play victim to his crimes.
But there was just a small amount of sanity that remained in her head, preventing her from confessing, but Lirian next words destroyed those restraints, "I'll give you what you wish for if you confess," Lirian said to her.
It was like he injected her with a vial of dopamine, and she dashed towards Lirian with a crazed look in her eyes, "Yes I lied," she confessed throwing her arms in the air with joy, she didn't care that her actions got everyone killed all that mattered was that she would get what she so desperately desired.
"I want you to fill me up," she shouted and ripped of parts of her clothes as she ran to Lirian.
'It's almost like my charm has turned her in to a drug addict,' Lirian thought.
As Layla ran a sudden crunching sound was heard and everyone saw that she was knocked down by someone else, the person in question was a beautiful petite young woman, the former barmaid of her inn and the woman who was married to Mr Cassy.
The moment she saw the sword in Lirian's hands she knew that her husband was gone, and she was powerless to do anything about it, but hearing Layla's carefree confession, that reminded her of a whore, she saw her chance to exact some revenge on the cause of her husbands death.
And not even the mayor's wife seemed to have any intention of saving her sister, everyone was looking at her with revulsion and they did nothing to stop Anna as she dragged Layla to the flaming moat.
But suddenly the innkeeper rushed after them, as if he just realised that the woman being dragged to the moat was his wife.
Lirian felt like he had enough of them, so, once the three of them converged at the edge of the moat, Lirian channelled a little of the worlds energy on his finger tips and released a wave that smacked the three over the edge and into the flames.
Their screams lasted for a while before they went completely silent.
Lirian had a couple new thoughts on his mind after experiencing Layla's madness, in fact he felt a slight degree of trepidation towards his charm.
'System what will it take to seal of the effects of my charm,' Lirian asked hoping that his system could come up with a possible solution.
[After analyses it is determined to be impossible to completely seal of the powers of your godly constitution.]
[However, three solutions have been found.]
[1. Perform a fate sacrifice to lighten the effects of your charm.]
[2. Spell your body and clothing to decrease your charms effect.]
[3. Find the universal treasure 'The Shears of Destiny', it might be possible to isolate and sever the charm effects of your godly constitution.]
Lirian read through the options and ruled out the third option, universal treasures were rare and very hard to find, one would be created with every shattering a plain experienced, so basically only 15 existed in the current plain.
While Lirian did discover multiple Shears of Destiny throughout the plains, it only happened after countless eons of searching, so it was of the tables currently.
As for the second option he needed his cultivation for it to work, which left him with the first option, 'I can do that one when I'm done here,' Lirian thought gratefully, he had conducted enough of his experiment to reach plenty of conclusions.
"Now for the rest of you," Lirian said pointing the sword at the twelve survivors, of which only two had any hope of surviving.
But just than Lirian heard movement at the village gate, the sound caught everyone's attention, and as they looked at the gates they saw a child running out of the village.
When the little girl saw Lirian she cried in delight, "Mr, Mr, Mr," she shouted and ran as fast as she could on her little feet.
She slipped on the blood several time's, but every time she climbed back up with determination, she even stumbled on the bodies that littered the ground, but she still got back up and ran to Lirian without even showing any fear of the corpses in her sight that no child should ever have to gaze upon.
Lirian recognised the voice very vividly, it belonged to the little girl Lizzy he met on the first night he entered the village.
"Mr please come and help, it's my mommy, mommy won't move," she sobbed as she reached Lirian and clung on his leg.
"Lizzy run away from him," some of the survivors shouted in fear, they saw that Lirian had no mercy for anyone not even the children, they could already see her corpse falling to the ground.
But the girl didn't back down and firmly clung onto Lirian's leg.
Lirian found it interesting, to see someone asking him for help, it should have been obvious to anyone even a toddler that he was the cause of the disaster.
Yet this little girl was actually asking him for help, asking him to save someone, it struck a nerve in Lirian.
"What make's you think that I'll help your mommy?" Lirian asked the little girl and flashed the sword in front of her showing her the blade that was died red from the villager's blood.
Lizzy looked at Lirian as if confused, but then her eye's shined brightly as if she understood, "I know what everyone's screaming about Mr," she said recalling all the screams, where people shouted his name and called him a monster, but then another image flashed across her mind, one that made her giddy even now.
"But it can't be true Mr is a good guy," she said with a smile, "Mr made Lizzy fly," she said with a smile.
Lirian could hardly believe the thoughts of the child, just because he made her fly for a few seconds, she thought that he was capable of no wrong.
"How foolish," Lirian muttered and flashed the blade, "Once they called me 'The Demon of the End, how could I ever be a good guy," he released a crazed laugh, a laugh not even he quite understood.
"Mercy is the way…" the voice suddenly boomed in his head as he swung the blade to chop of the little girl's head.
The abrupt pain caused him to miss his strike, but the pain was so intense this time that he fell to his knees as he grappled with his head, to stop the sentence from finishing.
Lirian felt a sensation that he had long forgotten, and suddenly his mouth opened wide as he released a torrent of puke that messed the little girl.
"Mr are you alright!" Lizzy cried in alarm, despite what Lirian had just done the little girl still showed no fear and rushed to support Lirian and hold him up, with her tiny little body.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
