Torn Apart (II)

It didn't stop there; the wolves also slowly walked towards him, making Roman's body tremble for a moment as he reflexively tried to back away.

But then he remembered the words Phil had said to him earlier, "What? You forgot about your biggest dream that you've shouted seven hundred and forty-one times? It's been a bit rare lately for you to shout your wish to free humanity from slavery, but I won't forget my count."

'I… I still and always have that wish; I feel that it is the reason I live, I feel that it is my main goal in this life… but even Phil noticed… lately I've been too scared,' Roman thought.

He then recalled when Zoro and all his colleagues were crying, screaming in pain as their deaths approached. It made him close his eyes.

'I'm scared because over time, I've realized what payment I have to pay to achieve my goal… and I'm not ready, I'm not ready for something like that… Zoro and the others, they… they should be able to live peacefully until we're all free from slavery…' he continued. Roman then got up, standing straight on the ground, staring intently at the wolves that were starting to run towards him.

"Maybe I should've thrown that dream away, but… but if I stop here and decide to retreat, not only a part of me… those who have become the payment will also never forgive me!" Roman exclaimed as he clenched his fists.

'From the start, despite my fear, retreating wasn't an option for me. I still was born to free humanity from slavery!' He then ran towards the wolves with bare hands and strong determination.

The closest wolf from Roman didn't want to wait any longer to chew up the boy, but Roman had an advantage in size.

Because he was much smaller than the wolf, Roman could easily target the neck of this enormous animal by speeding up his movement so that he could immediately get under the wolf's head area.

BAM!

Roman managed to throw a super powerful punch at the wolf. But he didn't stop there; he threw other powerful punches and even several deadly kicks at the same wolf in a short time.

The boy didn't give the wolf a chance to do anything with his barrage of attacks. He struck the wolf's neck, jaw, face, and one of its legs and managed to knock it down with a kick to its leg.

But it wasn't over yet; there were still 21 wolves left to deal with. Without considering any possibility, Roman moved forward confidently. He also picked up sharp objects such as knives that were scattered on the ground after the wolves destroyed the barracks; he knew it would be difficult for him to face that many gigantic wolves without the help of any weapons.

Roman once again had the advantage of being much smaller than these wolves, so he could easily get into small gaps to attack them. Not to mention that they came to him all at once in pretty big numbers, making it difficult for them to stop Roman with their sharp teeth.

The boy slashed, cut, and stabbed any part of the wolves' bodies, leaving his entire body drenched in blood at this time.

He attacked them ferociously with a significant risk of being stepped on by the many legs almost as tall as his body.

But either way, Roman still had no chance of winning against these 21 giants. He might be able to injure some of them, but that was it. He wouldn't even have an opportunity to kill a single wolf and would soon be overwhelmed by them.

Roman was off guard for a moment, and at that opportunity, a wolf managed to sink its sharp teeth into the boy's right arm, then pulled it firmly with its snout.

SMASH!

CRACK! CRACK!

The wolf slammed Roman's body to the ground and broke almost all of his bones at one time.

The other wolves took this opportunity to invade Roman's body soon after.

'Shit!' Roman, with a body that couldn't be moved anymore, cursed in his mind when he found his hands, feet, chest area to his belly were currently being pulled by the sharp teeth of several wolves.

His right arm, nearly severed from the bite of the wolf that had slammed him earlier, became his first limb to detach from his body completely. Roman's fresh blood gushed out of it and rained down the air along with the boy's helpless scream.

Following his right arm, Roman's right leg was slowly torn apart at his crotch and severed entirely from his body only 3 seconds later.

Roman kept screaming in extreme pain. He really couldn't do anything but scream at this point.

Meanwhile, another wolf came on the boy's head and tried to separate his head from his body. The wolf first stabbed Roman's eyes with its two fangs. It then pulled the boy's head tightly after sticking its teeth into his skull and slowly made his neck rip apart.

"I'll..." Roman said as his head was about to be separated from his body. His left arm was severed a moment after that, resulting in blood spurting into his mouth, even being swallowed by him.

"Be fucking reborn… and…" he added. This excruciating pain made him barely able to finish his words.

"Avenge all of this!" He exclaimed and managed to complete his sentence, but his head severed from his body less than 1 second after that.

Roman was done, totally done. And he died, as a virgin.
