A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 16: Chaos In The Fortress - 3

Explosions after explosions continued to occur within this limited space. The smoke grows denser quickly with the smell of the scorch becoming more and more.

Even if they wanted to get out of this room, their lives would be lost soon. All of this was because Rion would not let a single one escape, and with the chaos that ensued, his actions were unrecognizable.

“It looks like it's my time to get out,” Rion murmured as he saw the number of remaining people he can handle without difficulty.

Coming out from his hiding place, Rion's hand started to emit a bluish light as soon as he prepared a magic. “Magic: Lightning.”

Lightning trajectories were immediately created, grabbing one object onto another, briefly paralyzing them without much resistance. If this was magic done normally, then this result was impossible. The reason why the results can be like this is the loading of which is more than normal, besides the quality of which Rion is also very influential.

However, the same does not apply to some types of close combat because they have more resistance.

However, Rion immediately advanced, killing them without much effort as their strength and numbers were still insufficient to be able to fight against him.

Rion's eyes swept coldly towards the researchers as well as some of the surviving guards.

For no apparent reason, the researchers' spine shivered stiffly along with their feelings of sudden deterioration. While those who were staring at Rion instantly averted their eyes once they met each other.

Swallowing saliva, the researchers were unable to withstand the horror when they saw Rion's black eyes that seemed to be swallowing them back.

Rion's hand was raised along with the greenish magic light that was beginning to form. “Magic: Wind Cutter’s.”

Blood splashed in all directions, the researchers' heads rolling on the floor after being cut off from his body. Rion walked closer towards the researcher who was getting more and more frightened.

The people he had killed before were those who had nothing to do with his problems. Therefore, Rion would give them death without much pain. Well, at least they didn't have to go through the torture he wanted to inflict on the remaining investigators.

Rion started dragging the remaining researchers to where he had gone before, he felt that the place was more deserving than this place.

The researchers gulped, as they looked at the room full of blood. Unlike the previous chaotic place, this place was silent, only filled with roaring moans along with a gripping death aura.

“It looks like it's time to start the punishment on you guys.”

Taking out a metal rod that was cut off not far from its place, Rion began nailing it to the bodies of the researchers.

“First ...”

Green light began to envelop the body of one of the researchers, making the wounds suffered by his body begin to heal. However, before the researcher could take a sigh of relief, a hard kick fell on his face.

“ARGH!”

“It looks like it's still less,” muttered Rion.

After that, a punch or kick is dropped on the face or body of the researcher. As her condition begins to critical, Rion releases her, letting her feel the torment of pain before dying.

“Next.”

The researcher who received the healing magic could not smile even though his condition improved, seeing the fate of the previous researcher he was sure he would not be much different.

“T-please forgive me!” The researcher starts to beg for mercy on Rion.

However, Rion only continued to give a cold look at him and said, “It seems like I can train a little magic without restrictions now.”

Rion's hand gripped the researcher's head. “Magic: Burn.”

A high-temperature explosion hit the head of the researcher, causing him to die instantly before he could even scream.

“It was really too rough, besides the amount of mana expended was still out of control, only absorbing the strongest amount of energy it could hold. Next will be better!”

Rion turned his gaze to the next researcher, giving healing magic, he then did the thing he was waiting for. “Magic: Burn.”

“ARGGHHH! ARGGHHH!”

As Rion grew bored, he increased the amount of mana used to kill the researcher.

“Now I have more understanding of how fire magic works,” Feel its development, Rion smiled.

However, to the researchers, Rion's smile was more sinister than the demons that came out of hell.

Sparks after sparks of lightning began to appear in Rion's hands, touching the iron rod he had plugged into the researcher's body, he executed magic. “Magic: Electro.”

“AGGRRHHH!”

A tragically mixed scream sounded loud and clear. However, this is not how when the wrong pool of blood other researchers began to flow until it came into contact with the iron rod.

“AAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!”

The researchers began to emit painful screams to deafen their ears. However, Rion saw all of this with a cynical smile on his heart.

Compared to the pain he has been experiencing so far. So for Rion this was only a trivial pain that could be ignored.

‘Hoi, hoi, this pain is still not how know.’

After the effects of magic have disappeared, moans and roars can still be heard.

Time passed with shouts, moans, moans, screams, and wails that now became a melody in the ears.

As Rion's mastery of magic gradually improved, it was accompanied by a growing sense of suffering for the researchers.

Rion would not let any of them die quickly, he started to use healing magic to make them able to endure this torment for longer. Even if their mentality had been shattered to the point of driving them crazy, Rion did not care.

Starting from doing [Magic: Burn] which is channeled from the direction of the mouth to burn them from the inside out, to the use of [Magic: Elekro] to make them feel the sting constantly.

When he felt enough about the amount of mana spent, Rion began to smash the heads of the researchers to make sure they were dead. After all he must be able to survive to be able to escape from this fortress.

Watching all this, Rion said softly, “Although the snatched thing will not return, at least at this time I became a little calmer.”

Out of the room, Rion looked at the other research subjects who were still in the tube.

“Will I rest you quietly.”

Gathering mana in his right hand, Rion began to smash the remaining tubes one by one with a punch and he confirmed that all the subjects had been killed.

Although Rion felt a little guilty for killing people who were neither enemies nor guilty of him. However, even if he allowed them to live longer would only add to the suffering they felt.

“Sorry you must be the victim of all this,” whispered Rion. Meanwhile, in his heart the anger was growing. ‘This is inexcusable!’

After destroying all the tubes, Rion performs [Magic: Boom] to burn the laboratory as well as the evidence available. Although he did this secretly, but if the magic of the investigation is done they can easily find out the truth.

Although he wanted to fight against the Empire, but Rion was aware that the time for preparation was what he needed to devise a mature strategy, and that was definitely strength.

Without power it would be suicide, and all the things Rion wanted would be a dream.

However, what happened next exceeded Rion's expectations when the fire magic hit the target.

BOOM!

The loud explosion made the fortress tremble, with the condition of the enclosed space and the amount of explosive material immediately making a strong and violent explosion.

Rion has taken refuge from the explosion, he leaves the lab and begins to prepare for his escape plan which is thought to be more difficult than expected due to the violent tremors that occur.

“Hah .. at least I can rest assured that any evidence has been destroyed.”
