Laying on the ground next to the throne, I look at my health bar increase every second. I don't know what to feel, I can't seem to understand how that man got past my detection, if it wasn't for my cape I would have died and forced to resurrect.

"Anima…" I said in a cold voice.

『Ask』

"How do I maximise my spirit attribute" I said while looking at the ceiling with a cold eye.

『Temper yourself by going against what is good for you or bad』

'Damn it' I was irritated beyond anything else.

Standing up I began to watch the holy man eradicating everything in existence within the planet. Doesn't matter if they are young or old, male or female…

『The reason why he was moved was to conceal the one thing they don't want you to know』

"Allied Accord"

"Kukuku"

An entire day passed and I kept watching everything getting destroyed, nothing remained anymore. The man looked around before disappearing entirely from my view.

『He is gone』

'Hollow' I said slowly as the mask covered my face, the fissure appeared in front of me and I jumped out before landing at the destroyed kingdom of Cogo.

Walking slowly I saw the ruthlessness of the light soldier, I would have done the same if he didn't arrive but this is just too much!

"What did they do wrong," I said in hate as I looked at the villages that I passed by destroyed, families torn in pieces or turned to ash from the light.

... "do you want revenge?" I said as I looked at the bodies on the ground with a cold voice.

『They are dead, Ace』

"Kukuku, Master you need to rest," Asura said as he appeared from the sky before landing softly on the ground and began to dig.

My fault…. It was all my fault

Regret began to fill me and I finally realized that I can't control myself...

---------

"Second, pull him in fast…" A shadow said anxiously.

"I am on it!"

----------

Horns began to appear out of my mouth upwards, face changing to a savage look and eyes becoming bloodshot from rage and sadness.

[Spirit has increased from D to C]

Slowly my bones began to crack behind me and my skin becoming red as blood, arms extending downward becoming taller than my entire height.

『Resist!』

My body began to grow bigger, legs becoming sturdier, hair becoming thorns and muscles bulging out waiting to explode.

[Spirit has increased from C to B]

'Huf Huf Huf' Trying to hold my consciousness from failing me, I kept breathing hard.

My fingers began to extend, nails began to pop before small claws appeared out of them, I couldn't help but scream hard.

Before losing consciousness as I finally remembered something that I forgot a long time ago

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

Deep in the alley, a young child and a bald man were standing facing each other, the child was holding a knife with blood dripping from it and a deep scar covering his arm.

Slap! The man slapped the child hard before taking away his knife and throwing it away. "Will you grow up for once! Can't you see how priceless life is!"

I looked at the man with tears filling my eyes and replied back at him "What do you know old man! I have nothing!"

The man shook his head and held the kid hand before dragging him by force towards the bar in the alley.

"Let me go!" The child screamed as he kept struggling to get free from the man.

The man reached the bar and threw the kid inside before looking at the shocked bartender lady behind the bar. "Get me some bandages fast…" The man said as he took a bottle of whiskey from the bar and walked towards the kid on the ground that had a pale face.

The lady came back with bandages and gave it to the man taking a giant sip from the whiskey bottle. "Life is precious boy, you might not know now but one day in the future you will grow up and become someone big, a strong man with a wife, a man that protects what he wants to protect…"

Slowly the turned the bottle upside down and pulled the child arms before spilling all of the content on the child's arm.

"Ahh!" The child screamed in agony as the old man held his hand and began to apply the bandages on his arm. "Remember this, if you ever feel like the world betrayed you… smile at the world itself and tell it to not regret it later on".

The child looked at the man with fascination as he forgot the pain on his arms.

The man stood up and threw away the boy out of the bar and looked at the boy one more time before saying "Do not follow my path boy-"

Boom!

The entire building blew up and the kid was sent flying towards the wall in the alley and after that, he fell unconscious.

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

'That bastard…' I said with a smile as I fell unconscious.
