Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 108: Desperation

"Do you really want to know?" Nix asked, staring at her.

"Yes, Mr.Nix." She nodded his head.

He scrubbed his cheeks and began to talk with a serious expression on his face.

"Actually I don't know...It was strange. The moment of death was so repugnant. All I felt was regret at that point... After I died. There was nothing. It was empty. I no longer existed at that point. If we sleep we do know that we possess a physical form at least feel the air touch and have intuition. But, being dead was something unexplainable..."

"Can I know how you came back to life?"

She asked hesitantly and somewhat having a bit of a scared expression on her face.

"Miss Yumeko, There are some personal things I can't explain... Let's stop it here."

He said indifferently and turned towards the exit only to be blocked by Yumeko.

"What are you doing Miss Yumeko? Move out, I am already in a mixed mood..."

He said staring at her.

"Mr.Nix if it's an item please give it to me! I beg you!"

Yumeko asked, clutching something within her hand.

"HAh, Miss Yumeko I am tired please move already."

Nix glanced at her hand and looked at her for a second.

[Private ability~ Doom prediction vision activated]

"Please Mr.Nix! Please Nix!"

As she shook him grabbing his collar.

Immediately, Doom prediction vision showed him a vision of Yumeko stabbing him with a shard of glass into his abdomen. 

'Why?'

He muttered and immediately grabbed Yumeko's hand and forcefully removed the shard from her and looked at her with a frustrated expression and dropped the shard.

"Why did you want to stab me, Miss Yumeko... Why? I thought you are a good person... I can't take this. Just leave this place."  He said, staring at her eyes while gritting his teeth.

He went through problem after problem and now he literally died and came back. He was emotionally absolutely broke down yet, he tried to push himself forward. Even though he wanted to destroy everything.

He believed there are good people among bad people and he believed his clan members were like that due to their circumstances like him. But, now he couldn't believe that since they all seemed too evil from deep within their hearts. It was like he was amidst darkness alone. He was Alone all the time but never had he felt lonely. Perhaps he was too accustomed?

No one was there to carry his burdened heart. Yeah, there was Cinzia but, even she gave up her own revenge. So how could she even carry his legacy?

"I am sorry! I am sorry! Mr.Nix, please forgive me."

Yumeko began to weep while grabbing his leg.

He just stared at her for a few seconds and began talking.

"What made you decide to kill me? and Why are you so desperate?"

"I wanted to resurrect my sister..."

She wiped her tears and walked towards the box in the back of her room and opened it.

"This is Tachibana. My younger sister. She was evil deep from the heart and in the end, she was killed...I loved her. Though she was so vicious she never gave up on me since the day we were transmigrated to Aeigran."

"I see... Yet, I cannot forgive you. But come again what's Aeigran?"

He said, staring at the silver-haired woman who seemed presumably in her early twenties with a moderately slender body in the box which had few herbs surrounded by her and some sort of lotion on her body to preserve her body from rotting. Her silver eyelashes were similar to that of a pigeon's feather suiting her grandeur appearance. Her skin was milky white in color and there were multiple scars around her hands and legs that conveyed how many inexplicable battles she had went through.

"Aeigran, The eastern continent of Empyrean. We were Outlaws from the start unlike outlaws in Chaos mainland. I fled from there with my sister's body..."

'Presumably, If I remember correctly. Aeigran is the continent where Outlaws are dominant. But, why is it so rare to find people from Aiegrin.'

He thought and said.

"Why did you flee from there?"

"My sister grew big enough to capture a part in Aiegran and caused a commotion which led her to death. She is still alive and her soul is still attached to her which I forcefully achieved but I couldn't resurrect her after all these years. And I came to chaos mainland in search of Sublimity material."

"And what made you assume I possess Sublimity material? And what exactly is a sublimity material?"

"Sublimity material is one of the abundant materials that literally manipulate your soul. If it's given to priests, they can extract souls or rejuvenate them to the core that they could literally heal the dead to make it back, while alchemists can make use of it in different ways and I believe you used it at the crucial time of death to resurrect yourself."

"So, there are so many uses with Sublimity material huh? But I didn't use that."

He said with his arms crossed and then continued.

"I killed a few people and gained something which is very very different from what you thought. So, don't make assumptions. I understand you had your own goals and desperate to get your hands on Sublimity material but, that doesn't justify what you did and I don't fucking care about how long you've been searching for it but, I am not forgiving you instead you'll be disciplined by Cinzia."

He just didn't want to reveal that he possesses fourteen lives. It is not a game where he can resume from where he left off. And going through that pain surely made him fear death. Plus he cannot reveal everything unnecessarily. Some things were meant to be kept secret to avoid unnecessary troubles.

'Hah, Sublimity...I should really get my hands on that shit!'

He muttered after leaving her room.

Soon few of the members captured Yumeko and locked her up in the basement.

***

The day before leaving Dracton,

Everyone was ready to leave with everything packed. Except for Nix, He was nowhere to be found for the last two days. He announced that he will be there on the day of departure, so they didn't come up to search for him. Felishia decided to stay with him for a few days since Nix barely held any conversation with her and Cinzia was still worried about Nix and her goals.

He didn't return until it was past midnight with a sack.

"Where did you go?"

" "

Without replying anything he placed the sack on the table and washed his bloodied hands in the kitchen.

"How? How did you do it alone?"

Cinzia asked agitatedly after dropping the bag reflexively as soon as she opened it.

'What's so scary in it?'

Daisy switched gazed from the sack and Nix doubtfully opened the bag only to find the head of the landlord that threatened Cinzia with few soldiers amidst the coins.

" "

Daisy was dumbfounded as Nix walked towards her and snatched away the bag from her.

"I went for a talk. He threatened me so I killed him."

He said nonchalantly and poured down the coins that were mixed with gold and silver coins.

"With this, our clan has no ties. Requiem is considered as the enemy of our clan from this day on. We are leaving now."

He said and walked out of the Clan house carrying his luggage.

"But, It is not morning yet."

Dae Seok said hesitantly.

"If the time is past 12, it is considered as the next day... Now leave."

He said and began to pour oil around the building making everybody furrow their brows.

"Boss, Why are you doing this?"

"Obviously to set this on fire."

He said and continued pouring oil all around.

"Buddy, I can understand that you just got resurrected and in rage but, you are moving too fast."

"Come on? You too? Well, I've already poured. So everybody get the fuck out of the building now."

He dropped the can and left out of the gate where he had a Mutino parked and climbed it and immediately stabbed the driver he convinced to drive to his clan house paying a sum. Followed by Nix, everybody walked out carrying their possessions. Even Yumeko was there. Nix used Helina to crack her brain and made her a dumbass to use her for healing.

Cinzia grabbed the leash and lashed the Mutino. Nix stood out of the caravan and sent the flare of fire towards his clan house and set it out on fire.

From that point on most would believe Transgressor was utterly destroyed. It may be a rough plan of Nix's but it would work surely effectively. If he were to stay in there a few more days his resurrection might spread around making him face unnecessary trouble with the royal council. 

"I am still running away.."

He mumbled inwardly gazing back at the city. 

He needed to be in a place without disturbance for steady growth and that place was Theemai, The neutral city of Chaos mainland.
