The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 96: The Beginning of Cruelty

"Milute gyvate! Lowly Snake! You won't be able to escape my wrath!"

Avrogan's body Shines, then Lightning Fights.

Jeduaarrrr!

Every time Avrogan launched his Lightning Attack, his body would grow. To date, even the Avrogan Body Size has grown by ten times its original Size. This is because Avrogan uses Mana beyond the Capacity he has.

Most of the Mana that Avrogan used to launch the Lightning Attack was taken from Nature. Due to absorbing too much Mana from Nature, Avrogan's Body grew bigger every Time. If this continues then ...

"Arghh!! You'll feel my lightning!"

Avrogan will re-launch the Lightning Attack. His body returned to Shine and grew even more swollen, but just before Avrogan actually launched his Attack, there was a Voice that stopped all sorts of his actions.

"You'd better stop, if you keep going, then you'll explode."

Avrogan turned on the origin of the Voice while groaning Full of Wrath. But, Avrogan immediately fell silent as soon as he saw the figure who said that sentence.

"T-Master ...?" Avrogan muttered in disbelief.

"What's? You're forgetting the fact that I'm the only one who has this figure?" Reply Ren.

Ren's figure and appearance were indeed the same when Avrogan noticed him. However, Avrogan realizes there is something different about Ren, and that makes Avrogan suspicious.

"You do have the same Appearance as Master, but don't expect to make me just believe it! Prove that you are the real Master! [Divine Thunder]!"

Anger will make you blind, now Ren trusts this one sentence. The Avrogan who had directly attacked like that must have been swallowed up by the Furies. Still remember the figure of Ren can be considered as Luck for Avrogan.

"It just so happens that I feel like my body is twice as good as before. Why not try to fend off your Lightning with my Little Finger?"

The word - The word Provocation from Ren made Avrogan even more furious, "You! Too bragging!"

'I've Already Alleged.' Benak Ren Speaking.

Avrogan's regency has been swallowed up by the Antiquity. Avrogan who had lost her Respect for Ren was enough to prove all this.

Ren looked up at the sky ...

The lightning that was within the Cloud Vortex above the sky had changed, from being originally colored like Ordinary Lightning, to now being a terrifying Red Lightning. Ren who witnessed this Change Sneered, because in reality, this Red Lightning was a Combination between the Avrogan Lightning and the Blood Aura that Ren had given him.

"Not Bad, seems like this is the New Skill you have? But I will not change the Establishment, I will still use the Little Finger to hold it."

Ren scoffed at Avrogan while casually showing her Kelingking Finger. Such a humiliated Avrogan, certainly could not resist Patience and immediately launched the Lightning right towards Ren.

Lightning strikes quickly, but as soon as the Lightning hits Ren, Ren's Little Finger holds him back and deflects the Lightning.

As a result, Avrogan Lightning even grabbed the Forest Area on the Right side of Ren. To scorch the Land and the Trees and everything that is there.

"Noh ... My little finger is scratched, it looks like you're really intent on killing me, right?"

Ren was not lying at all, at the End of his Little Finger, there was a slight Burn caused by Avrogan's Lightning. Merely, a little meaningless wound like this would instantly be healed in less than a second. That said, Ren was completely unharmed after being hit by the Avrogan Attack.

Avrogan's body couldn't hold the Load much longer. Even without having to attack Ren, Avrogan will explode by itself. But as a Ruler, Ren could not let his Subordinate just explode.

"Hm ... The flow of Mananya is broken and Chaos is not because. The only way that Avrogan can survive is by repairing the Mana Flow itself in his Body." Ren analyzed the situation and quickly found a Solution.

"He, I found a good way to fix it, [Blood Art]."

Using the [Blood Art] Ren created the Nine Great Needles around his Body. These Nine Needles will be used to pierce some of the Points that are in the Avrogan Body.

Before sending the Needle away, Ren fused the Needle and his Body with Mana made like a Yarn.

After all the initial preparations were completed, Ren sent the Needle towards Avrogan.

Nine Needles shot out, leaving behind a Red Line of Light painted in the Air. Avrogan who was groaning Pain was Impossible to avoid this Needle. Then without the Needle Barriers were pierced at some of the Avrogan Body Points that Ren had determined.

The Mana Thread that connected the Nine Needles with Ren's Body gave off Light. Making it visible was obvious even without having to use Mana Perception.

"This damage ... Worse than I thought. Avrogan, what have you really done."

Ren decided not to think about anything else first. Now Ren must Focus on improving Avrogan's Mana Flow so as not to make a Mistake. Thanks to the exercises Ren did during his time in Emptiness, Ren was able to move his Consciousness into Mana.

Ren's consciousness followed the Mana that flowed towards Avrogan's Body. After entering the Avrogan Mana Stream, Ren felt himself as if he was in a hole of countless branching tunnels.

Without waiting for more time, Ren repaired all sorts of damage. Starting from Mana Flow Leakage to drain Mana back in the direction it should be.

Some Time passed, Ren immediately retracted Consciousness into his Body after refining the Avrogan Mana Flow. Somehow, Ren felt that this one way was like doing Surgery. More difficult and complicated than expected.

"Bahh ... Just trouble."

Ren turned his attention to Avrogan's body. There, Avrogan has returned to its original form. Yet it seemed like her Consciousness was still not there, so by Forced, her Body fell down.

"Ah, you fell. [Blood Prison Cube]."

The Red Cube enveloped Avrogan's fallen body. Then, the Avrogan locked in the Cube stopped falling and stayed in the Air.

"Next ..."

The Loudeas Forest.

Nirlayn sat leaning against a tree. His gaze was fixed on the sky, and between his beautiful eyes, there was a deep sadness. The sadness is so deep that the Tears no longer pour out.

The shing!

Nirlayn unsheathed the Sword given by Ren earlier. There was a special reason why Nirlayn unsheathed this Sword, not because there was an enemy or wanted to kill the enemy. Rather because, Nirlayn Intended to end the Life he had.

"Life is useless, without you Ren-sama. I hope, in the next life we can meet."

Nirlayn aimed the Sharp Sword Edge right at his Heart. Then slowly - the land, Nirlayn moved the Sword to stab himself. Perhaps if done quickly, then the death of Nirlayn will not be felt. But Nirlayn thought, The sin of letting Ren be killed must be atoned for a painful death.

Nirlayn closed his eyes and spoke, "I love you ... Ren-san."

Is Nirlayn dead? He himself does not know. No pain, why? Did he die in the end without Pain? If so, Guilt will always haunt him.

Life that can still be felt. Air, Cold, Body, all of that could still be felt by Nirlayn. Why is his hand unable to move anymore?

"If you die, to whom should I reply to this Statement?"

Nirlayn slowly opened his Eyes, The first thing he saw was Ren's smiling figure while holding his Arm to move further. So, what does Nirlayn feel? Surprise, Happiness, Pleasure and Sadness at the same time.

Nirlayn did not care whether this figure of Ren was just an Illusion or a Game of Destiny, The most important thing of all this was ... Hold back so Ren doesn't leave again.

"R-Ren .. same!"

Nirlayn released the Sword he held. Then without Warning, Nirlayn jumps up and hugs Ren with Erat.

Crying full of happiness while calling Ren's name many times. As with Arystina, Ren allowed Nirlayn to cry for a while until she was completely calm.

"Do you have information?"

The source of the information Ren wanted to obtain was Dead. Right, Irlyana's dead in terrible circumstances. Nirlayn admits by himself that it was he who had killed Irlyana. That was why Ren asked Nirlayn if he had any information. But it seems ...

"Nm ... M-I'm sorry, I ..."

... Nirlayn did not receive any information.

"Why?"

Is it because Irlyana doesn't speak anything? Is that why Nirlayn didn't get the slightest bit of information? Ren was still trying to find answers.

"S-I, lost control and killed him instantly ..." Answer Nirlayn.

"Hm?" Ren could not believe it and just pay attention to everything around him. Starting from the corpse of Irlyana who is in a terrible state to some disgusting Body Pieces.

It all seems to prove Nirlayn's lies. It would be impossible for Irlyana to be in this state if Nirlayn were to directly finish her off. Based on this, Ren can conclude that, Nirlayn tortured Irlyana continuously until Irlyana really - really Dead.

'Huh, my goodness.'

Ren walked towards Nirlayn and stopped right in front of Nirlayn. Then, Ren brought his Hand closer towards Nirlayn's forehead and stopped his Finger. This unexpected action of Ren, made Nirlayn groan in Pain and hold onto his forehead while issuing a Question Mark Expression.

"You are this ... Where did you learn to be cruel like this? Besides, someone like me doesn't deserve to make you lose control."

"A-Did you not like it ...?" Nirlayn Lirih.

"It's not like that, it's just ..." Ren turned back to Irlyana's corpse, then walked up to the Corpse while stretching his Arm into Empty Air. From that Empty Air, appeared the Inventory Door. Then rather than Inventory, Ren took out a Bottle that contained a strange, Gold-colored Liquid.

"... A Woman is more suited to a meek and gentle Attitude." Ren continued while throwing the Bottle at Irlyana.

Crakk!

Bottle Broken when in direct contact with the Forehead of Irlyana. The liquid that was in the Bottle itself flowed throughout Irlyana's body. Enter and Penetrate through the Gap - Gap that is on the skin. In the end, the Gold-Colored Liquid Glowed from within Irlyana's body, and restored her Pale Body Color.

All the wounds he had suffered healed, along with the re-establishment of some of the missing limbs. Then, a miracle arises, in which the lifeless Irlyana is now revived.

Nirlayn was flabbergasted at the Miracle he had just witnessed. While Ren was amazed because the Liquid in the Bottle was functioning as it should.

"Y-Your highness? This ..."

"Rixir ... A Liquid that can change Fate."

This one Bottle of Elixir was so precious, but with no care, Ren used it just like that. And if someone from Earth knew this, then he would pass out because he could not withstand the shock.

"Elixir? If it can indeed change Fate shouldn't it be so precious, why would you use it on this Lowly Being?" Nirlayn's a little protest here.

Nirlayn's protest was indeed a natural thing. Ren uses the precious Elixir to revive the enemy, no action is more foolish than this. Merely, Ren had thought well of his actions, there were several reasons why Ren used Elixir to bring Irlyana to life.

"There are a few reasons why I'm doing this. If there's time, maybe you can come and ask me for an explanation."

As a Subordinate, it is an obligation to trust his Master. Therefore, Nirlayn decided not to ask any further and respected the Decree that Ren had taken.

"Hey, it'll be hard to interrogate him, considering he's the one who's been through Death." Ren spoke to himself.

Then, Irlyana opened her eyes ...

The first time the two eyes were seen was the figure of a man, Anryzel Dirvaren. The figure he had believed in, left this World. Then, the Second is the figure of a terrible Woman. The figure of this Woman, reminded Irlyana of the Torture Experience that was so desperate.

Suddenly, Irlyana shouted in fear, "Hiiiii! Getaway! Getaway! Forgive me!"

Irlyana crawled backwards to get away from Ren and Nirlayn who were looking at her. The screams of Desperate Asa kept coming out of his mouth, even though Ren and Nirlayn had done nothing.

The longer, the more annoying the scream. Ren could not hold his patience any longer, and approached Irlyana who was still crawling.

Ren stopped right in front of the crawling Irlyana, as if to clearly say that there was no chance for Irlyana to escape.

"Just tell me something, then I'll forgive your life." Ren said as he smiled gently with his eyes closed.

"M-away! B-How, maybe ... You can come back to life ... M-Monster!"

Plakk!

Ren slaps Irlyana ... Making Irlyana speechless and unable to say - words.

"You have once made me look pathetic, just because of that you feel yourself great and reject my kindness?"

Ren raised Irlyana's head to align with her gaze. The way that Ren did did did did not contain any softness at all. Where, Ren gripped his Hair and did not care about Irlyana's moans at all.

"Araghh! L-Detach ... Kan."

"Hey, I'm giving you two choices." Ren grasped Irlyana's arm using his other Staircase. Then, with a real Threat, Ren broke the Arm as if - by the Arm was just a Fragile Branch.

Trakk!

"Graaahhhhh!!"

Even when faced with someone who looks so pitiful. Ren's expression did not flinch at all, "Your choice is, Speak or be tortured."
