Past Life Returner Chapter 298

Chapter 298

Heh, heh. I finally found you, First Virtue!

I made eye contact with him, and something rang deep inside my brain.

“Fils, Devi!”

Leaders were often given special t.i.tles under fascist regimes. Therefore, Hitler was called Führer, and Mussolini was called Duce. The First Virtue was called Fils in French, meaning that he was a child born by the System. Half a century had pa.s.sed since the end of the era in the past, but I could still remember it clearly. People in his camp had continually wors.h.i.+ped him even when only a few districts remained and mankind was on the verge of extinction. The plague spread rampantly all over the world, ghouls wandered around on the border that was close to people’s residences, and monsters swarmed over the abandoned land. Although the world was coming to an end, they remained unchanged.

It was a crazy world in a variety of ways. Since there were too many insane people, they weren’t treated as crazy. At least the Second Virtue did his best to strive for the survival of humanity as a way to protect their vested rights.

“Fils, Devi!”

However, the First Virtue and his admirers didn’t care about the survival of mankind. Instead, they clung to the hopeless battle against the force who opposed the System. Consequently, the number of surviving districts decreased, and the land was filled with poison, dead people walking around like zombies, plague, and monsters.

“Fils, Devi!”

“Fils, Devi!”

He was the one who had led the heinous Fils-style fascism. His way of thinking and nature would stir up troubles even after returning to the outside regardless of whether we obtained victory or defeat in this war. Even if my hatred of him in the past was a bit obstinate and illogical, I couldn’t forgive him.

You could point your finger at me, saying that I am still possessed by a spirit from the past. You could also laugh at me and call me a fool for removing important manpower when we were clearly losing.

However, I still wouldn’t blink an eye. I was an Awakened, and he was the First Virtue to me, not a ghoul. He was on my priority list to remove. If I spared his life, then the dead Seventh and Eighth Virtue sisters would be upset. The outside world had the inevitable discipline and order in society, so I had to kill him in this lawless area. I had to end it before things got more problematic. I didn’t want to wait and watch him get stronger by increasing his influence on others. I had to do it right now!

Wait. I just remembered what kind of death would suit him perfectly. He should die just as the guy with Indra’s Sword did, just like that.

[You have used Kali’s Sword.]

***

Kali’s Sword and s.h.i.+va’s Sword both had a flammable and explosive effect. However, the difference between the two skills was how many targets it could hit and the range. Kali’s Sword was specialized to a single target like Indra’s Sword, which aggregated ma.s.sive damage. Therefore, the flame ball that popped out immediately after using Kali’s Sword was smaller and st.u.r.dier. The color was intense, and it flew toward him.

The moment the red tail drew a trajectory, the guys who were sitting in front reacted quickly. Some jumped up to the ceiling, some tried exiting out through the door, and some even dug into the ground. Among them, the First Virtue showed the fastest reaction. He instantly dodged even though his overall ability was much weaker than it was in the past. Seeing that, he must have sensed that I was going to attack. There was no way he had mental attributes.

Does he have the trait Chaser?

In the past, that particular trait had saved me countless times. While I was an annoying being like a mosquito to the Eight Evils and the Eight Virtues, the tables had turned as I was now desperate to kill the First Virtue.

I could reduce the speed of the flame ball, but I couldn’t modify the trajectory once it was already flying toward the target. The flame ball became very slow as if it had stopped where it was floating. Instead…

[You have activated Odin’s Wrath.]

Lightning sparks soared up from my entire body and into the air. I could see the lightning bolts pouring down like a shower because those who had run away in surprise had ripped off the tents. His Teleportation insignia was bound to be in a low cla.s.s. Even if it was a high-level insignia, I still had a way to block it.

Zing!

Some of the bolts blocked his way out. When he turned the direction by using the insignia, I waved my fingers at the sparks of lightning that were blocking the barrier.

Crack. Crack-

It was a waste to use Odin’s Battlefield because he was already having difficulty running away from the trap I made with lightning. He must have run out of teleportation insignias. The moment the chain of lightning began to narrow down, squeezing him, was the moment he realized that he couldn’t escape. I was good at using Odin’s Wrath as if it was a part of my body. I opened an area on the side where the others and his henchmen had retreated. They were now trapped, floundering as they realized the power of the lightning. The First Virtue also tried not to miss the opportunity, but it was impossible.

There was just me, him, and Orca inside the trap, and he turned his head toward me. Even though he was being attacked, he was trying to find a solution. He also seemed to have concluded that the only solution was to fight against the owner of this trap, me.

Orca was now between us, with the First Virtue behind it. Orca’s tentacles and its natural instincts had been hidden inside the necromancer’s robe, but now they were out and were tightening around De Gaulle. The First Virtue had no hope in h.e.l.l to kill Orca, but the lightning trap was converging on the two of them, and that would kill Orca. I couldn’t bring Orca back to life as I wasn’t the original species that gave birth to it. It clearly knew it would die but still tried to carry out my will. What a complete and hopeless submission…

Putting Orca into where the First Virtue would sit wasn’t a bad idea. Fortunately, it wasn’t hard for me to widen the distance between Orca and my target and separate Orca from the outside of the boundary. Now all that was left in the trap was the First Virtue and me. Oh, and there was one more thing. The flame ball was still moving around slowly! De Gaulle was at the end of where the flame ball was flying, and the trap kept narrowing. I locked him up.

“Why? Why!” he shouted.

Yes… I had once shouted at him the same way in the past when he had tortured me. Even if it wasn’t straight to his face, I had cried inwardly continuously. If the Stage of Advent had been any longer in the past, humanity would have been extinct. The life of the earth would have been taken by Doom Kaos, the souls of the victims would have been under Doom Arukuda, and the control of the dead land would have been given to Doom Entegasto. However, the First Virtue would have taken it as the great meaning of the System.

The First Virtue desperately used multiple skills consecutively. However, all of them failed to damage the trap as their proficiency levels were too low. His last resort was to strike himself into the net.

Krr. Krr.

The sound of teeth being ground soon turned into a moan. Although his protective barrier had absorbed a significant amount of pain, he acted wild when the lightning bolts began to invade his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

Then, he finally gave up on breaking through the trap. He stared at the flame ball, which was getting closer to him. Even then, the fireball was slow as I didn’t speed it up.

I hadn’t witnessed the First Virtue’s death in the past. For that reason, I would never forget the death of the man who had spread terror throughout mankind with First Evil. I would make him pay the price of making my mother die in agony and the price of causing pain in me as I couldn’t do anything when she was suffering!

You son of a b.i.t.c.h! Just dieeeeeeee-

***

The First Virtue eventually pulled out Kali’s Sword, but it evaporated as soon as it hit my sword. He knew how he was going to die then, and he knew better than anyone about what kind of pain Kali’s Sword caused to the target. The last look on his face met my expectations.

Bang!

His flesh scattered in all directions along with copious amounts of blood. His head and limbs burst at once, and they exploded again once they hit the lightning trap. The last thing left was a small puddle of blood where he was standing.

Who claimed that revenge wasn’t worth it? I s.h.i.+vered with joy. I had wanted to remove the First Evil like this as well. I should kill the Seven Demon Kings in the same way!

“Keukeukeuk…”

It was then.

“Keuk keuk.”

I heard someone laughing behind me, and it was coming from Joshua. He was trampling the neck of a man who had run away in surprise, and the First Virtue’s henchmen were lying down around him. Some of them were dead. It wasn’t the only place where explosive energy existed. Such a vibe was also present on the Kciphos Gundrak’s King.

Yeon-Hee had climbed onto the Kciphos that had become huge and looked down at the results of the slaughter her pet had made. The situation was now over, and I saw the cut limbs of the Awakened covered in Kciphos’s saliva. Not far from there, Jonathan was sticking his five fingers into the head of an Awakened. The guy was soon wrapped in flames, and I could tell how painful it was not only from his desperate struggles, but also from his screams.

“Aaaaargh!”

Jonathan walked up to me after throwing the dead body to the side. The alive Awakened who were still fighting with each other all opened up a way for him to walk. Jonathan’s eyes didn’t seem bloodthirsty, but the heat of the battle was spreading all over his face.

Jonathan simply asked, “Why?”

“We couldn’t allow that guy to go back outside and he would be a hindrance in the immediate battle anyway.”

After answering like that, I felt joy rise inside me again.

I killed him. I got rid of him!

Jonathan became silent for a moment, then replied while looking back, “That’s good. It was time to clean up anyway.”

To be exact, Jonathan was talking to the owners of the five seats who had been overpowered by Joshua and Yeon-Hee. Well… it was now four since the First Virtue was dead.

An Awakened who was currently lying around Joshua suddenly caught my attention. Since the man under Joshua’s foot was one of the owners of the seat, I knew that this guy had to have come in as one of that seat’s henchmen.

“HA.”

I couldn’t help but laugh when I checked his face as he was Zeus, the Fourth Evil in the past. He wouldn’t be the only one who used to be one of the Eight Evils and the Eight Virtues, but they were now in relatively low positions. If they were still alive, then they would have had stupified looks on their faces somewhere.

I walked toward the Fourth Evil. Even if he didn’t get the top position, he had come up to this point. There must have been several chances for him to receive a challenger box.

“Ugh…”

The Fourth Evil looked up at me while he was still collapsed on the ground. I saw no desire to resist in him. Since he was a sneaky guy who was only active in the dark, nothing much was known about his specific moves or motives.

But what the f.u.c.k is this?

I captured something with my Sense. I couldn’t see it, but I could feel a s.p.a.ce that was slightly off around him. It was the same feeling I got whenever someone used a Teleportation insignia. It was also a common feeling I got for those who had storage boxes.

Pat!

I raised Night Eye as much as I could, then things became clear. There was a storage box inside the s.p.a.ce under his control. Then, he hurriedly tried to make an excuse.

However, it was too late. I wrapped a full bolt of lighting around my hand and dug it into his storage box.

Tap tap.

Unnecessary things stuck to my fingertips, and the streaks of lightning found a pouch. As soon as I held it, the familiar sensation of a thunderbolt came up in my hand. It was Zeus’ Thunder Spear. The weapon that appeared possessed a kind of dignity, as if it was showing how it deserved the name of a G.o.d from Greek mythology.

I smirked. “It is said that there is a real owner of this. What do you think?”

He begged, “I… I’ll offer it… t… keuk!”

Just then, Schunck!

Joshua’s fingernails pierced his neck from the back.

Crus.h.!.+

Then, Jonathan’s foot blazing with flames trampled on his head. Following that, I saw Yeon-Hee, who had jumped from the giant Kciphos, wandering among the alive Awakened with her eyes fully black.
