Chapter 289 Into The Forest



"AAAAAAA!!! Just… kill… me…AAAAAA!!!!"The Mayor shouted in agony as I cut upon his nerves slit by slit, from the point of maximum impact to the point of minimum range, enough to make him experience hell but not too much to let him die or go insane because of it.

His eyes were crying as he begged me to kill him. It was different from before when he wanted me to let him live, which was a kind of not possible after how many acts he did. Despite the humble appearance he made or the number of promises he made, or the contract which he was talking about, I decided not to bother with it. 

Even if he were to turn over a new leaf for real, what he had done previously cannot be washed off just because he decided to become good. Plus, he wasn\'t doing it because of his own will, but because of fear and terror.

Looking at the empty stairway, which was now red dyed with the Mayor\'s blood, I wondered if I should end it here and just move towards the underground facility now. 

\'How long till he dies?\' I asked the [System] wondering if I could leave him here to suffer on his own. Though mostly it was because I wanted to know if he would escape or die for real.

[2 hours: 15 minutes: 27 seconds]

To make sure that he won\'t survive in any possible conditions, I asked the same question a couple more times in different ways and only after I was satisfied I let him be there and began moving outside the manor.

Opening the gate, I saw that it was already afternoon, with the sun high up in the sky. It seemed like I tortured that guy for quite some time, huh? Well. It was fine. 

Though something else caught my eyes, other than the dazzling sunlight. The townsfolk. I saw about 50 or 60 people standing there, trying to see through the outer gate into the mansion. They had an extreme amount of curiosity in their eyes filled with a complicated question filled look.

Irene, whom I sent out earlier, was also looking through the gate, her face a little more smiling than before. And as soon as she saw me, she entered the manor, walking towards me with a blissful smile as she spoke,

"While you were busy with your work, the Townsfolk were attracted by the deafening cries of the mayor. Since I had nothing to do, I explained a bit to them about what was going on. They were scared at first, but after some reassurance, they couldn\'t contain their joy. It seems they have suffered a lot by the Mayor."

Her eyes were filled with slight pride as she looked at me before she held my hand and spoke in excitement,"come. Let\'s meet them. They seem to be eagerly waiting for you."

I walked with Irene, hand in hand, as we reached the outer gate where people wearing rugged clothes stood there with their eyes filled with hope and happiness. Looking at their sunken eyes, and boney bodies that expressed how long they had been starving for, and their shaking vigor which seemed to be on its last edge, I couldn\'t help but feel pity for them. 

"Well. I came here to do a couple of things and I guess it had resulted in a few more things extra… The mayor inside is still alive but will die in about 2 hours or so. I would like you to maintain a distance from the house till evening before confirming yourself, else he might come back to life by absorbing your life force. Other than that, you are pretty much free to do anything you want. You can choose to live here, move out, or whatever you may seek,"I gave a small speech to them before looking at Irene, who was chuckling a little.

Though before I could speak anything…

"May I… May I have your name, sir?"one of the men came forward and spoke with his body slightly shaking. It wasn\'t fear but admiration, you can say? Like he was trying to talk to a god? Or at least that\'s what I felt here.

"Michael Aroa,"I answered it out loud for everyone to hear. And just by hearing my name, their eyes widened with happiness.

"Michael,"one of them murmured.

"Michael,"another one followed

"Michael,"and everybody started chanting it.

"MICHAEL!!\'\'And then they started shouting. Before one of them kneeled, and the rest of them followed. Their eyes looked at the ground as they kept shouting while I observed them with slight stupefaction. Not what I aimed for to be honest…

"Let\'s… get out from here…"I spoke to Irene before holding her hand and running away from there. 

\'Seriously, that shit kinda scared me…\' I was feeling a little awkward after all that. Especially since I could somehow feel their emotions in their chants.

Even after we traveled at least a kilometer away, I could still barely hear their voices from afar. Nonetheless, we didn\'t stop running until we reached outside the town, into the forest where the underground military base was. 

According to the Mayor\'s status, it was a bit deeper into the forest until you start seeing a bunch of yellow flowers within the forest. What I was supposed to look for was a garden within the forest that was made up of yellow marigolds. 

We kept running into the forest, until we came across the garden, which really was neat looking, in my opinion. Irene, however, felt a little weirded out with the garden as she said that something was really wrong with it.

Not ignoring her cue, I used [Inspect!] on it.

[Garden of Lost Path(Rare)]I think you should take a look at

[Description: This Garden contains the forbidden emotion of the human spectrum, Senselessness. It contains the energy to make everyone lose their sense of direction, whoever enters the garden, and slowly lose their sense of thought, followed by touch, smell, etc. Finally losing everything in it.

Effect range: 1000 square meters.

Cost to Maintain the Garden: None

Restrictions: Only affected on Humans and Low grade Vampires]

\'Since I am an Ethereal now, I guess I am free from the effect. Irene, however, seemed to be slightly affected by it,\' I thought as I looked at the still confused Irene. She seemed to be lost in thoughts as she observed the garden and, pondering a little, I turned to the garden.

I turned around and observed the trees before I found a suitable branch in one of them.

[Time Rejection!]

The branch breaks and falls down by itself before I move to pick it up. It was pretty much a straight branch with very few curves, and the length was equal to that of a Katana. Nodding at the tree branch, I looked at the garden and made a slash at it.

-Slash! -BOOOM!!!! And the single slash kind of ended up breaking the entire terrain? I mean, I wanted to only cut it lightly… but I guess I shouldn\'t be careless with my [Ground Zero: First Slash] which I learnt from Rhea in the [Second Space].

\'She did say that it was way stronger, so I shouldn\'t use any real weapons unless I want to go against a divine being of something,\'I sighed, as I didn\'t expect it to be this strong. 

Though when I used it before in the Apocalyptic time, it didn\'t create such an impact…

\'Guess, it must have been the Cessation Energy?\'I couldn\'t think of any other thing for now.

"Hey Michael… we seemed to have attracted a lot of attention,"Irene spoke as she looked at the army of vampires coming our way. She didn\'t seem to be much shaken by looking at them.

"All right. Irene. Since it\'s a fine chance, I should teach you a little about protecting yourself… though it\'s a one time lesson so give your all, okay?"I spoke as I passed on the wooden stick to her. 

"I prefer Chainsaw more, but okay,"she spoke, but she nodded as she looked at me, before turning to the vampires coming our way.

"First thing is your stance. Try distancing your feet, your chest a little above and your shoulders should be aligned perpendicular to your neck…" I kept speaking as I saw her trying to place herself according to my directions. There were a few irregularities but…

[Time Rejection!]

She ended up in the perfect stance. Looking at her slightly shaking body, she seemed to have some difficulty in trying to maintain that, but it was fine. We were still at the learning stage so it was fine…

"Now. Position your sword a little below and think about slashing everything in your path. You remember how to use zombie energy in your chainsaw, right? Now try to pour your will power into it… the process is the same except… oh! You got it, huh? Nice!"I spoke in surprise and admiration as I saw her pouring all her energy into the sword. 

Her eyes concentrated on the vampires that were coming near to us, at an insane speed. It would take about a few more seconds before they reach here.

"Now make a slash and try to focus on the slash itself,"I said as I looked at her. What I wanted was for her to make a perfect slash that wouldn\'t affect her body but will give out a required amount of impact.

[Time rejection!]

-SLASH!!!

And before the Vampires could reach us… at least 30 of them got slashed from their torso, dying without being able to do anything. 

Irene looked really exhausted, on the other hand, as she was having a hard time to stand just by making that slash. Though there was no life-threatening injury to her.

"Good. Now let\'s try that again,"I spoke as I moved closer to her.
