Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 112: Theemai

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

Daisy asked sitting in her seat with her legs crossed.

"So... Do you know anything about it?"

He asked placing the emerald stone before her.

Well, her Title, prodigy of alchemy is not for a showcase. Is it? He needed answers so he sought an expert.

" "

She was speechless for a moment as Nix handed the Obscure sublimity to her.

"This...This seems a replica of Subl..."

"Sublimity right?"

Nix asked excitedly.

Why wouldn't he? He went through almost many things and this thing here holds an answer to one of the mysteries about himself.

"Lord Nixxxx... Can I experiment with this prettyyyy pleaseee!"

Daisy pleaded, grabbing his hand while staring at him with sparkling eyes.

'Hmm, So she really is worthy of her title.'

In an instant, he snatched away the emerald orb.

"Aight, I just wanted to know if you could guess anything about it. In any case, I am not lending you this now. I am giving this to someone who knows more about it..."

"Huh?"

"Yeah! I totally forgot what I wanted to say!... Can you brew a healing potion for me? I am leaving the utensils and materials I found in the Labyrinth."

He said and left the tent.

After a day of rest, they began to pace towards Theemai. Fortunately, they weren't attacked by sky ogres or any sort until they reached their destination after having a few fights with monsters. It was summer season that month which was one of the prime reasons they didn't face threateningly powerful monsters.

When they reached the first thing that surprised Nix was there were no high walls and the place was located in a nowhere location with no security or whatsoever. A free place, a place of freedom. It was a fucking lawless undeveloped area.

There was not much of a population that houses were located in several distances and what's more dazzling was people were fighting and killing each other in streets and people didn't give a fuck about so did Nix's clan members. To be honest the roads were not even proper. They were a mess. To be realistic it cannot be called a city. It was more like an undeveloped countryside straight out of the Cowboy era.

There was one freaking problem Nix had to face and it was fighting the other existing residents to obtain a place to stay.

As soon as the Mutino landed everyone in the vicinity stared daggers at the Mutino and his clan members.

"Quite the warm welcome huh?"

Nix smirked. 

Was there a time where he got nice hospitality? No, he didn't.

The buildings were not tall and well built. The reddish-gray dust that continuously flew in the air and the sandy smell plus the smoggy atmosphere really gave out a cowboy town feel.

There was one building in the center of the city that caught his eye. An inn named red star. Nix was really in need of a place to stay and build his clan house as such he can't go on a lease or pay rent.

There was only one choice. He may not know what the powerful clans and companies were existing inside the town but, he knew he needed a base as the first thing and he didn't want to pay.

In that case, He'd have to capture a place. No one ever cared about the location because there were three reasons. The first reason is obviously the sky ogres that reside in the mountains and the labyrinth that possess monsters wilder than any labyrinth could have and the Draconian village near it plus the frequent monster siege that was very hard to tackle.

All these factors clearly made the existing powers make it as the last priority since they already have their hands full with the disputes they need to take care of.

"Alright everyone what I am going to say seems like something out of nowhere and seems kinda not a well-thought decision but, I am sure this will work out."

Nix said, staring at his clan members and waiting for their reply.

"Sure... So what is your plan exactly?"

Cinzia asked.

"Well, It's simple. We are gonna take rooms in the inn and are going to capture the inn at midnight. Followed by that we are going to hire members if they don't then we'll just kill them. Plus there are also people who seemingly have a plan on stealing from us. All I can say is kill them."

With that being said they all went to the red star inn and took six rooms and as Nix said there were few people having their eyes on him.

It was clearly obvious these guys were extreme freaks waiting for prey to leech on to suck their blood dry regardless of who they were. One might be an Outlaw or a Regular but that doesn't necessarily change human nature.

Nix took a room alone and just as usual he was smoking his cigar thinking how wild his days were. Starting from the transmigration to his death everything he went through was utterly unbelievable yet, there he was standing in his room watching the three freaks who were waiting with their weapons through the glass window.

"Fucking fuckers...This place is a mess just like any other place I've gone to. Well, I can't just continue to whine or curse. Adapting to this is the best."

He thought and shot a laser-like arrow from his hidden gauntlet stealthily making the Outsiders panic.

"Hah, How did these dumbasses even have the audacity to tail us I wonder."

He muttered with a smirk gazing at the three men who were shaking the man who got a headshot yelling and crying out loud.

"Henry! Henry! wake up, man!"

The man had a small hole in the center of his head and that was it. There was no sound of his heart beating or the slightest change in his body. His breathing stopped after a few seconds of struggle.

" "

They just looked at Nix who was pointing his gauntlet with a cold expression on his face and began running out of the place in fear.

"That's it? I thought, they'd fight back... Guess I am good for now then."

He muttered to himself and opened the book he grabbed from Vikil's labyrinth since he had some time left.

{My adverse days.}

"Hmm, a cool title for an autobiography."

Nix muttered and turned to the next page.

I am Vikil and this is more like my personal diary. Yes, more like my personal diary containing different things I went through.

By the time you read this, I would have become a monster. Ah yes! I forgot to say this! I noticed that my arms have changed and bulged up and I have grown two new pairs of legs and more importantly, my mouth has expanded.

I wonder if trying to become an immortal is a grave sin. Anyway thanks to Valentina I've survived all these days but since she is captured by the city guards for execution. I cannot sit back and watch her getting executed. Would you hide in a cavern when your loved one is getting tortured and killed? It is human nature to lose their composure in these types of situations but, I am not going to make a quick decision. I have lost my family thanks to my Alchemy which I loved.

All I did was try to reawaken my mother's soul. Was that wrong? Well, I have put up with humans as much as I can but, now I cannot do this anymore.

I have injected myself with multiple life essence and genetics and altered them beyond any human comprehension. Yes, I am proud of my work. I may gain my sanity back or become an undead cursed being but, I am going to do what I pledged to do.

Nix turned to the Next Page to read more but the pages were torn.

"Hah, It was truly interesting..."

He mumbled and began to go through it again.

The next page seemed to be written with blood or some sort as it reeked of a weird smell.

I did it! I massacred them... I butchered men, women, and children every one of them of that cursed village. Why wouldn't I? Those people were humans and humans are the most wicked creatures. Did I lose my sanity? Indeed, I've lost it! I lost my mind and my heart! My Valentina... She died today. I am not giving up on her. I swear on my love for her. I will bring her back and I am leaving for the Labyrinth since that is the best I can do. Living amongst monsters is better than these ugly creatures. 

"Hah, All I can see is pure hatred towards humanity..."

He commented and drifted his eyes to the next page.

I achieved it! I have invented Obscure sublimity after all these years! I have succeeded.
