Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 36: Chains of resentment

As they broke through the door. A cluster of bombs sped towards them, so Nix and the Draconians reflexively hurried out of the door again and took cover before the impact.

"Boom!"

The bombs commenced exploding after a few seconds they barged inside the basement door again. They were agitated as soon as they laid their eyes inside the hall. Some beast folk, Elfs, and Darconian's body parts were scattered and some corpses weren't identifiable due to the explosion but the explosion didn't seem to be the sole reason as there were butchering knives and some tools while somebody parts scattered around while the walls seemed to be stained with blood.

When Nix drifted his gaze straight he found various people in cages while approximately twelve people stood there in the center fully armed.

Suddenly three people emerged from the shadows and tried to stab Nix and the draconians. Nix swiftly killed the assaulter and Tyga and Tundra did the same.

Nix just eyed at the brothers and began rushing towards the opponents by which he conveyed the message to begin the battle. Tyga and Tundra nodded their heads and started following Nix.

[Truth eye activated.]

[Doom prediction eye activated.]

"Kuakkk!"

Nix began attacking every enemy that got in his sight while he using the proto blade as a long-range weapon to attack the spell-casting mages and archers. Tyga and Tundra used their swordsmanship and skills like fire breath and sword energy and a few skills that they had in their sleeves.

"Kuaakk"

Nix initiated thrusting, cutting, stabbing, and counter-attacking. He did every possible move he could do and the Draconians did the same. They were going on a blood bath and killed almost Ten men and women. Finally, there were only two were people left out. One was a woman and the latter was a man.

The woman seemed to be a mage guessing from her attire and the wand she had in her hand while the man seemed to be an assassin.

'Ah, these two are the level four players I believe..'

Nix stopped and stared at the two of them and drifted his gaze towards Tyga and Tundra.

"Alright these two are yours, Obtain retribution for your kin and the others who suffered unfair fate because of these scum I will help out the captives!"

Tyga and Tundra replied in a unison without faltering their battle stance while gazing at those two with their burning eyes.

"Okay, Nix!"

Nix slowly stepped out and marched towards the nearby cages and broke the locks and cut the cages one by one but for some reason, he didn't unchain them.

The captives watched Nix like seeing a savior. He continued opening every cage there. The total number of people rescued was twenty-five adding the people on the upper floor they were twenty-eight in total and draconians were the majority as they were thirteen draconians in total and four succubus and other more races. All of them were grouped up inside the upper hall while Tyga and Tundra were in an immense battle.

A cute dog-eared woman opened her mouth while wagging her tail blushingly.

"Thank you!"

The Draconians bowed their heads.

"We are grateful furthermore we are indebted to you. We will repay this grace with anything you seek which is within our power."

All the other racial people were dumbstruck hearing draconians words they looked like their pride was hurt and they began taking.

"We will repay you with whatever you seek human!"

An Elven beauty stated proudly with her hands folded.

"we will too!"

All the others said in unison. With this die has been cast.

Nix smiled and scanned for a succubus and who would probably resemble Sara at least a bit if she is her sister.

'Gotcha!'

He found a succubus who looked very much like Sara.

"Everybody I have two companions, let's wait until they arrive."

At that moment Tyga and Tundra walked inside the hall where Nix and the hostages were with terrible bruises and wounds.

"Nix we succeeded!"

Tyga and Tundra exclaimed with a cheerful face.

"Alright as everybody asked I need only one thing from and it is within your power!"

Nix stopped and gazed at everybody and slowly his lips curved up and ended up into a smile, one that contained malice.

"I need your souls and those who go back on their words are considered as a being which is lower than that of a worm and another thing Don't expect me to help you out of this damned city for good! You are on your own so, what is your answer now?"

Everybody's face turned grim upon hearing his proposal and some people had a sad facial expression on their faces while Tyga and Tundra looked at Nix with disappointment.

Tyga opened his mouth.

"Nix stop spouting nonsense do you know what you are asking for?"

"I clearly know it and I know that Draconians keep their promises."

A draconian woman walked towards the center and began drawing a circle with various symbols and patterns identical to that of the one Tyga nad Tundra used to make the contract in the desert.

The woman started speaking with a smile on her face.

"Thanks for saving us and we Draconinas are willing to give up our souls as we promised."

The elf woman looked remorseful as she gave out a word without thinking and she stood there in a daze without knowing what to do next and all the others were the same except the draconians.

"so, what about others?You succubus girl?"

" "

No reply came from the others.

"It is decided then"

The woman began chanting and all the other draconian men and women stood inside the circle with a dreary facial expression.

Tyga, Tundra stood there with a grim facial expression. They didn't expect Nix to turn this cold towards others and Nix didn't even know what advantage he could receive for owning their souls even though he demanded it. It was understandable that he went through a lot but, turning this cold was too much yet there he was standing with a cold expression and cold attitude.

"Get inside the circle now!" The woman called out Nix after finishing the chant and dropping their blood inside the circle.

"Show me your hand."

Nix stretched out his hand and the draconian woman cut his palm and dropped his blood in the center. swiftly, the flames began to burn in blue color.

[You have been soul contracted with the Children of the great dragon Negatan.]

After seeing the message feeling satisfied he stepped out of the circle and waited eagerly for something to appear or occur but nothing transpired.

"Ahhh! AHHH!"

Suddenly several draconians inside the circle began to burn inside the circle and the fire turned into crimson red. Tyga and Tundra stepped into the burning crimson flame without saying anything to Nix.

"ahhh ahhh!"

The screams resounded throughout the whole building.

All the others stood there in a daze while watching the occurrence with a frightened expression. Nix was the only one who looked at the scene without even blinking his eyes. Whatever he did now is a sin and he has to pay for it in one way or the other and he has to repent for it.

"ahh.."

The screams of the Draconians went on. Nix turned back to the others.

"You people aren't useful for me and I don't know what would be beneficial for me If I let you live."

He stopped for a few seconds and continued.

"Even if I let you live. I don't think you can escape out of here without getting caught and if you get captured you will be tormented again, So I will release you from this unfair world."

Now in the captives, he looked nothing like the hero they believed him to be. His silhouette before the fiercely burning fire and his cold eyes portrayed him like a vicious demon from hell who was there to reap their souls.

"Now get ready." He announced.

"Please we want to live just let us leave we will try to escape from here we don't even need your help!"

The elf woman begged Nix, grabbing his ankle while sobbing.

"let my leg." He said in a cold tone.

"Thud!"

He kicked her and everybody stepped back as he took a step forward. He slowly forced everybody one by one into the fire.

"Ahh Ahh!"

Everyone screamed in pain and agony while Nix kneeled before the fire with a face that contained resentment and he had tears welled up.

'I am a Monster! I am a freaking monster and a sinner!'

Slowly tears dripped down his cheek and he stared at the burning crimson flame. Suddenly the flames started waving and slowly the flame began to shrink at that moment a Chain that was used to restrain the slaves slowly levitated out of the flames and sped towards him. It was blood-red in color and white fumes were visible surrounding the chain as it was inside extreme heat. He wasn't able to dodge it as it sped towards him at a terrible speed which he wasn't able to react to.

"Ahhhhh!"

Nix screamed in pain as it got attached surrounding his Left arm and it was burning him and made him scream in agony.

"Fuck! ahhh!"

Nix cursed out unable to endure the pain and squirmed like a worm on the floor.

"AHhhhh!"

He kept on screaming unable to endure the burning pain. After an hour the burning lessened and he rose up from the floor suddenly the circle which was used for the contract began to burn intensely and started spreading throughout the building.

"Fuck! Fuckkinng Emperean!"

He sped towards the outside gate and suddenly several messages popped up.

[You have acquired Chains of resentment.]

[Soul transaction successful.]

[You have gained the attention of Great dragon Negatan. He will watch your actions related to those who worship him!]

Ignoring it he rushed out of the building. After getting out he turned back and saw the whole building burning.
