A sword slid down from under Souma's movement, he hurriedly pulled his sword in a defensive position and in an instant the entire back of the building had been cut into pieces.
It did not stop there that Acetasius, who knew of his attack, could be restrained, back to his feet with a slash movement to the left followed to the right then along with his screams Souma's body was thrown into the air crashing into the pillar before spewing blood from his mouth.
The figure of Acetasius walking while dragging his sword produced a friction sound that was less comfortable for those who heard it.
Meanwhile Souma only smiled while wiping the blood coming out from the tip of his mouth.
"You're holding back? What are you really waiting for."
"Nothing, it's just that I want to see how powerful you are, you always act as if you're a superior species and easily demean other races."
"You look at us as animals."
"Your bodies are made from experiment rather than natural."
Acetasius furrowed his brows at Souma's statement which looked at him with compassion but it was purely an ordinary provocation, a few decades ago Acetasius was just a poor girl who was a nobody, compared to others she is a girl who works hard for her family and often goes back and forth between the forest and her home.
One day he saw how his house had been destroyed in front of his face, people had died including his family, all because of a trivial problem where the inhabitants took the territory of the wolf race and made it a settlement.
They were runaways and only in this place could they stay. Their former village had been destroyed by something called the dragon festival.
At that moment Acetasius could only cry out hysterically, however much life he wanted had been taken away from him, he said, he didn't know what to do until he met a red-haired woman wearing a mask on her face.
"You're fine, this must be the work of the wolf race I can see how the traces of their claws are embedded here."
"What do you want?"
"I need someone to help me achieve my goals. Would you like to join?"
When the woman showed her face she could see bright red eyes and a thin, dazzling smile.
"If you want we can avenge these people, but in exchange you'll just follow my orders."
Acetasius nodded.
The woman injured her hand then knelt down near Acetasius and said as she thrust out her hand that kept dripping blood.
"Drink my blood then you will definitely have tremendous power."
Acetasius did so and at once he also had red eyes and fangs that burst out from his mouth.
"I'll kill the whole wolf race."
It was a brief flashback that had come to his mind. He swung his sword just as Souma rolled to the side then darted forward.
He swung the sword diagonally in a well-farried reply, the reason why so far Souma had not fought seriously was to try to make Acetasius lose his energy. And when that happens he will do something that his enemies find hard to accept.
Souma's eyes turned bright red, adding speed and movement that Acetasius could not follow. Even with his vampire blood it was really very difficult.
All he realized was that his sword had been thrown into the air.
"How can you?"
Before Acetasius reacted, Souma's hand had been on his chest, within seconds a dark magic circle was created which emitted black lightning into his surroundings, next when Acetasius fell limply there was a sign where Souma put his hand.
"Haa.. haaa .. haaa... What are you doing?"
Souma replied casually.
"I'm putting a slave curse on you, from now on you'll be my man."
"So this means why you've been playing games with me ever since."
"I need to plant it quickly if you have the energy it'll be hard to do."
"You."
As Acetasius drew his sword to slash Souma his body was fed by black lightning until his body convulsed and fell to its knees.
"You can't hurt me, man, although I planted a slave curse I will not do anything weird I am a little angry with what you guys are doing but you guys do have good potential to protect this kingdom, well... after all, I always get into fights even though I don't actually like to fight, it would be best if someone could replace me as well later."
Acetasius pointed the tip of his sword at him but it was shattered by the lightning that flowed through his body.
Souma walked over then knelt down to put his hand on her hair.
This is the same thing the masked woman did to Acetasius.
"You've worked so hard so the rest leave it to me, I'm sure even if you kill everyone your loneliness never fills up again isn't it, now come with me and try to enjoy your life as well."
Different from the woman, Souma said more towards asking her not to take revenge.
A cry was heard from the mouth of Acetasius.
