《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 12. Revenge.
Advertisement
I wake up at 3 o' clock. Well I forced myself to wake up... I want to kill the S-class. The S-class is currently sleeping so I decide to go and get my core real quick. From my mana sense there are only 15 floors. I sneak out and make sure the girls are sleeping. I rush towards the dungeon and enter it. There are many little spiders and skeletons but an explosive apple cleared them all. I made sure there was nobody near the dungeon or in it with my Mana Sense ability. I quickly cleared all the 15 floors because the mobs were really weak compared to my explosive apples... These apples sure are something. I leave the other core alone because it seemed to panic when I enter. I just took my core piece and made it enter my body again... It feels weird doing that. I leave and quickly run out.
The S-class wakes up at 4 o' clock. He comes out after I released a bit of my mana into the air to signal him to come South into a flat area. I made sure only strong beings can feel it.
He gets here really fast and looks at me. He feels that I am... Weird.
Quinn: "Hmm. You aren't who I was looking for. But it is still good. I will destroy you... You killed Mayu because you thought she was a Heretic. She was not."
S-class: "A heretic she was. And so are you."
He takes out two small blades. Twin sword style huh... I grab my huge black sword and he looks at me weirdly.
S-class: "How... Can you even swing such a big thing around... It's even bigger than a shield!"
He rushes at me but when I suddenly throw an explosive apple at him... He panics. He stops and tries to run away but the explosive apple makes contact with his left leg. The left leg is completely blown off and he screams in pain. I start walking towards him and before I notice it... My emerald hair has turned Ruby. The tips of my hair are as dark as the darkness next to the sunlight. My hair is still down to my waist. The hair however... Has formed a mask. The mask is half-emerald color, half-ruby. There are spots of black at my eyes though. I looked like a literal demon right now... Just with no horn, no wings and no tail.

The S-class looks at me like I was a real demon.
S-class: "Demon... You are a demon..."
Quinn: "Maybe."
I grab his right arm and twist it around 3 turns until it snaps off. He screams in pain during the entire time I did that. I felt myself unconciously smiling under the mask... But I didn't stop. This one was an S-class who killed Mayu and destroyed my core. Now I will destroy their "core".
I grab his left arm and notice him crying even more than three hundred children. It seems he is in shock... He is crying and trying to say something but can't. I twist his left arm off too. He screams in pain during the time I did that too... My smile only got bigger the more pain I inflicted upon my "killer". I then heard laughing... It was me. I was unconciously laughing... Then before I noticed it... I grabbed out his real and his mana heart... I ate his mana heart and felt all of his mana flow into me at the same time. He was dead the instant I grabbed out his heart and then I just squeezed it above my head until it blew up... I threw apples at the dead body to clean up the remains. I notice a locket on his neck and open it up. It was another S-class but a female. Why I knew this? I noticed her. I noticed her grinning in the back as I was destroyed. When the killing had ended I noticed it was...
12 O' clock... I had tortured him for so long... How was he able to survive until I tore out his heart?
Then I noticed... I was fully covered in his blood. Only my emerald hair what turned back from the ruby form was clean somehow. My mask was also gone... What was that just now... Was that my form of hatred... I don't want to know about that again... But I will ask Innver about it. Innver?
Innver: "I... I don't know... I don't know what that was... None of the secondary bodies of dungeons have done that...."

Mayu: "No demon or human has done that either... What are you... What goddess reincarnated you into this world and made you into this..."
I wonder that myself... But a goddess reincarnated me? What do you mean?
Mayu: "Ignore it for now... Mirikin and Akuna must be really worried about your sudden dissapearance."
I nod in my head and run towards the city. I walk in and all the citizens who are awake and saw me screamed. A person with no injuries but fully covered in blood was rare. They looked at me like they were looking at a merciless monster. Luckily there were no kids around because I would've given them a trauma.
I head into the Inn where all the people who were already drinking ale dropped their mugs and looked at me. The manager freaked out too and let all the papers in her hand down onto the floor. Soon after Akuna came down but didn't freak out. Then Mirikin came out... She freaked out too much.
Quinn: "Mind if I go take a bath before you bombard me with questions?"
I walk up after they made a path for me. Almost everybodies but Akunas jaw was dropped. I laughed a little while going up. Why were they so surprised about me being covered in blood?
When I was taking a bath and washing my hair just in case... I stumbled upon what they were looking at. I was growing horns. I immediatly assumed it was from the demon... Damn demon making me grow horns when I was killing an S-class... Well torturing him. Luckily they weren't too big so I just covered them up with my hair. When I finish my bath and go downstairs where Akuna and Mirikin are at Akuna looks at me like she is dissapointed.
Akuna: "Aww.... I liked your horns... They made you look so cool..."
Quinn: "Hmm? But I looked like a demon."
Akuna: "Can you bring them back out... Pleaaase...."
Akuna looks at me with puppy eyes... I can't just say no can I...? I move my hair around again and show my horns. They were about five centimeters tall and 2 centimeters wide. They were in a small arch. Mirikin looks calmed down.
Mirikin: "What happened... Where did you go...?"
Quinn: "Revenge."
I tell them everything about what I did. Well I whispered it only to Akuna and Mirikin so the others won't get too suspicious. The manager sometimes tried to listen in but I stopped for a bit when I noticed and until the manager left. I then get a genius Idea...
What if I serve under a king... And get some tomes of magic and learn some basic magic and gain a stable living location and a location where I can rule the town above my future dungeon?
Quinn: "Mirikin... Is there a chance for me to get a meeting with the king."
Mirikin: "Indeed there is... I could use my connections to see if the king will accept it."
Quinn: "Please do. I'll tell you the reason later."
Mirikin: "But for that we must head North West to the Capital."
Quinn: "Ok... It will be a bother to stop the search but might as well."
We start heading towards the Capital. I know this genius idea of mine will work... But will the others like it? Probably not... I wonder if I could save every slave... Hmm... Might as well try? A small fief full of freed slaves? Hahahha... That sounds completely insane honestly. But might as well give it a try. I'll upcourse have to constrict my power as not to kill everybody I see in a mere instant. And I also must silently build my dungeon when I get the core back together...
The path to the Capital is safe... So what will they do in the capital? We shall find out next time.
