Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 193 – TRIAL MILANDA
The Milanda dungeon formation possession trial began.
It began by facing off against the weakest of monsters.
A goblin emerged from behind the void that was instantly formed from a shadow.
I beat him easily.
The monsters then appeared again one by one. Every time I defeat him, there will be even stronger monsters.
Until in the end, a hundredth monster appeared in the form of a lesser dragon.
The monster was spouting fire everywhere. Therefore, I was quite difficult to get close to him and then beat him.
What was worst was that this was a fight within the astral world. That means, where my large pool is useless. This is not about fighting monsters directly in real life. It's more about mental strength. I had to face those monsters that were inside my subconscious in a condition that was confident that I could defeat it.
That certainly doesn't sound easy. Not only are you sure that the monster can be defeated. There are intermediate laws between the astral world and the real world that must not be broken.
I attacked the monster with my long-range attack in the form of ice needles that I formed from the surrounding water vapor. But I had expected that it would only melt before it could even injure the monster.
The monster I faced was the worst opponent for the ice base element like myself. Her extremely hard, hot skin would only instantly melt my ice.
In the end, I modified the ground where it rested. I tried to instill a suggestion in my subconscious that I was a heat-resistant superhuman.
It will not work until I am truly a fireman because even in the mental realm, it will still follow the laws of the real world to some degree. But to simply withstand a slightly greater heat, it is possible.
Holding back what we can actually endure, but we are reluctant to do so under the influence of comfort is about mental strength.
I also approached the monster in a zigzag move to avoid its fire attack. The momentum of his attack hit me a little, but it had no impact until it actually injured me with a fatal wound.
As soon as I reached the area around his mouth, I drank a liquid. It's not an ordinary liquid. I used my chemical knowledge to synthesize methane from carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air and cooled it down to liquid. The rest, I just threw a very unstable methane liquid in the open air into the mouth of the lesser dragon.
He who happened to be charging his fire to fire, instantly exploded himself in his mouth in a violent explosion. It wasn't a blast that gave me goosebumps. But basically the body mechanism of the lesser dragon is only strong against heat and impact from the outside, but actually he is very fragile inside.
He died when the fire exploded in his body.
The monster-facing trial seemed to have ended when I no longer found the monster that had suddenly appeared.
I then continued down that very dark corridor which thankfully with my special senses, I was still able to adjust and still able to move well without being affected by the dark around.
I then suddenly heard the voice of people who cursed angry, some sounded sad about something with regret, and some were crying. His voice sounded like a throat sound that was so creepy that I did not recognize his voice.
But as soon as I looked carefully, it appeared that they were people I knew well, my beloved family who were now gone.
“Helios...” With a clean slit, something that looked like Ayahanda called out to me.
“It's all your fault.. It's all your fault that I died!” This time it was the turn of something resembling Leon who shouted furiously at me.
“If I were still alive, I would definitely be a better emperor than you. Why should I die?” Something resembling Brother Tius seemed to curl up regretfully.
“Hiks... Hiks.. Hiks. If only you weren't around, we wouldn't be to death!”
Then in closing, it was Ilene who revealed the conclusion of their regrets.
Thas right. I can't deny that. They died for being Baal's target, it was all because they were my family, the destined hero.
Although I know this is not real, although I know they are only the embodiment of my regrets, I can not resist these tears falling drop by drop soaking my cheeks.
“It's true. My family died because of my weakness that could not protect them.”
The monsters that resembled my family also approached slowly for me to move like zombies with their blood-splitting eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Their nails were sharpened, their fingertips extended, as if everything was ready to strangle my neck for my sake.
I regret not being able to protect them. However, at home still waiting for Mother Theia, Talia, Helion, and my other wife and children, there are also Yasmin, Alice, Nunu, I do not want to be separated from them. I still want to use my time to protect them. At least, I will live out my destiny as a hero to ensure a path of peace for future generations.
- Wuuush.
“It's true. That's why I'm training to become stronger to protect my family from evil demons like you!”
-slashwas.
I cut down those monsters. The figure that once resembled Father, Ilene, Leon, and Brother Tius was turned black to reveal their true form and then disappeared back into the abyss.
I step once again. This time I saw chaos on my left and right. On the left was the people of the Meglovia Empire who were about to be pounced on by the bird monsters of the Arteik Continent. While on the right side there is my family who was constantly invaded by the minotaurs.
It happened simultaneously so it was clear that if I went to save one, the other would not be saved.
“Cih.”
I grimaced my teeth.
“You think who I am, huh?! I'm not that weak! Although these bones and flesh are broken, for the sake of my family and for the sake of creating a peaceful abode for them, I will cross my physical limits!”
I ran to the right, slaughtering every minotaur that would hurt my family. I didn't let any of them touch a single hair of my precious family. Then simultaneously, I summoned ice needles from afar to shoot every bird monster that would devour my people.
All the monsters disappeared where I could save them all.
“Sorry I'm selfish. I won't let anyone die in front of me!”
I then walked once again. Then the next thing I found was a monster that resembled me. No, it's really me.
“Why? Why is everything taken away from me?”
“If only I had discovered Ayahanda's disease early, then I would have saved her!”
“If I could have prevented Leon from coming to Painfinn City at that time, then I would have saved him!”
“If only I had followed my bad premonition back then and followed Brother Tius to Cabalcus, those weaklings would definitely not be able to kill Big Brother because I would have killed them first!”
“If I hadn't let Ilene into the enemy's lair when I suspected her before. If I had used my dictatorship back then even though Ilene would have hated me, Ilene would have been alive!”
“Why... Why do I always make the wrong decision?!”
I saw the figure of myself screaming, roaring in deep despair.
“If I were more observant and would not let a traitor be by my side until Albert should not fall into his trap, my friend would still be by my side.”
Again this feeling came to me.
Thas right.
During this time Leon died, followed by Brother Tius, Father, then Ilene, I was strong against him because there was always Albert who comforted me by my side. But now the figure of my best friend is now gone because of my inability to protect him.
This chest feels tight. I so want to repeat the time to prevent his stupidity that led to his death. My head suddenly felt an unbearable pain. My nose began to bleed until it dripped into the ground.
However, it would not change anything if I kept giving up. I also have to look after Allios, the only memory Albert left behind. And Talia, Helion, I have to take care of them.
I don't want my wives and children to think of me as a weak father. I want to be proud of them as the true head of the family.
That's why I can't fall here.
I slowly approached that figure.
The figure then spoke to me.
“Hey, can I kill everyone? Refraining doesn't feel good.”
I also answered that question.
“Of course. We have the power, so what to hold. If anyone hurts us, we just have to reply many times more pain again.”
