Four sets of iridescent wings spread wide as they reflected the moonlight that seeped into the room from the large crack in the ceiling.
These wings were attached to a human-like figure covered in sleek, black, oil-textured obsidian.
Its face resembled that of an insect before the exoskeleton slowly peeled away, revealing the face that lay underneath.
"Liam!" Alia tried to rip her hand away from her father and ran towards as if it were only natural, but his tight grip held her in place.
I locked eyes with the man holding her back. So this is her father...
We were roughly the sa height. Despite his age, he looked youthful without a single wrinkle on his face.
Though there were streaks of grey hair in his black hair, he looked both old and young at the sa ti.
Even though he was wearing a suit, the outline of his muscles could be seen clearly underneath
Though he wasn’t as emotionless as Alia had described him. That look on his face was clearly rage, and worse of all, it was directed at !
My body instinctively stiffened from the threat of death perating from this man.
"So it’s you."
"If you an the bastard that knocked up your daughter, then you’re right."
His brows knitted into a tight frown as he slowly raised his hand, but just then Amanda lted out of thin air and grabbed him from behind.
"No."
The two of them teleported in an instant, leaving only Alia standing in a daze.
When she looked around and saw that her father was gone, tears filled her face as she rushed forward.
I t her with an embrace and lifted her off her feet.
"Liam, I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared."
As she cried, I brushed my hand through her soft blonde hair and asked a single question.
"Will you marry ?"
"W-What?! You ask that now?!"
"I think now is the perfect ti to ask. Your sister brought your father the farthest away she could. But unless we can escape to another city by the ti he gets back, then we have no chance of escaping."
"I guess you’re right... Does the fact that you’re asking this an you like ?"
"I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t."
"Then say it!"
"I like you a lot."
Her grip tightened around my neck, and suddenly it felt as if her body completely collapsed in my arms.
"I want you to say it everyday for the rest of your lief lief in return I’ll be the best wife ever."
"I’m sure you will." I assured her.
I then created a small obsidian ring in the palm of my hand and attached it to her finger.
"What do you think?"
"It’s perfect."
"Argh!"
Just then, a loud grunt could be heard behind us as Blood climbed to his feet, thick yellow liquid trailing down his face.
"I still need to take care of that guy. Give a mont."
"Be careful."
I gently set her down on her feet before turning my attention to Blood.
The massive orc staggered to his feet, but before he even had the ti to recover, I vibrated my wings and propelled myself forward like a jet.
I crashed into the orc, sending him flying through the mostly destroyed building.
He stopped in the lobby where the bodies of his guild mbers lay spread across the room.
Seeing this, he grunted loudly and climbed to his feet, picking up a massive slab of concrete before tossing it at .
I lowered my body to evade the attack before rushing forward towards him.
My obsidian-covered fist slamd into his abdon. The orc shrugged off the blow before swinging its massive tree-trunk-like arms at my head.
For a beast this huge, he was unbelievably fast. I raised my hand just in ti to block the blow, but the sheer force from it caused to skate across the room.
After my training with Amanda, I had gotten better at hand-to-hand combat.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem as if Blood had the sa training. He mainly relied on his brute strength by swinging his massive arms.
The obsidian from my armor cracked, and the sharp pieces from it embedded themselves into his fist.
"That exoskeleton is sturdier than I thought," he comnted as I picked out the pieces of obsidian from his flesh.
He then raised his hand, and almost imdiately, a six-foot-long battleaxe appeared in the palm of his hand.
The massive battleaxe crashed down at my feet as I moved out of its path just in ti.
With the knuckles of my fist covered in spikes, I planted my fist into the orc’s stomach.
The spikes on my fist pierced into the orc’s stomach, causing him to hunch over in pain.
With his head lowered, I slamd my knee into the bridge of his nose, causing the obsidian to shatter and pierce into his nose and face.
My armor here was much weaker than my armor in Vesperia, but this worked out for the better.
"You bastard!" He growled as he covered his bleeding face. "Before I kill you, I’ll torture you slowly and force you to reveal where you hid the Terra-shard."
"What’s the point? You’ve already lost your guild."
"Ha! You think this is all of my guild? I have plenty of orcs under my control."
"Most of whom are dead."
His smile wavered.
"What are you talking about?"
"Before I ca here, I went to the capital looking for you. I killed most of them and tortured one who happened to be a player. He was the one who told where you were before Alfred did."
Blood clenched his fist, his eyes growing sharper by the second.
"You’re lying," he rasped as he charged forward once again, throwing wild punches.
I moved through his attacks and delivered precise blows to his weak spots, gradually wearing his body down.
Soon his breath beca labored as it was a struggle to even speak.
"You have no idea who my brother is."
Obsidian spikes shot from the ground, piercing into his feet. At the sa ti, I stepped forward.
Blood retaliated instantly and swung his fist, aiming at my head. I lowered my body just in ti and pushed myself up off the ground, sinking my forcipules deep into his neck.
Imdiately, he staggered backward, clutching his throat.
From there, his movents beca slower since he could no longer use magic to enhance his physical strength.
Using my hand like an obsidian blade, I cut through his body piece by piece until there were several large slashes covering his body.
Soon, he could no longer sustain his own weight, causing him to collapse onto the ground, covered in cuts and blood, fitting for his na.
"Stop."
He tried to crawl away, but I shot several strands of googum until he was wrapped from head to toe in the sticky substance.
I then knelt down so the two of us were face to face.
I’ve never had the urge to kill anyone more.
This is the bastard who hurt Lily and kidnapped Alia.
The Monarch’s Indifference was the only thing that allowed to keep myself calm so far.
But now that he was here in front of , I no longer needed to hold myself back.
I could watch him die and feel content.
As he lay wrapped up in googum, obsidian spikes slowly rose from the ground, slowly piercing through his body.
His mouth was covered so he couldn’t make a sound.
He died slowly and painfully. I didn’t even receive any notifications or level up since I wasn’t in the ga world.
’What a waste.’
With Blood taken care of, I turned back to Alia, who was watching from a farther distance, but just then, there was a loud whistle in the wind before sothing crashed into the ground.
Rubble and dust rose from the impact, but when the dust cleared, what was left in the crater was a beast with scaly, reptilian wings and deep fla-colored eyes.
