Chapter 7: Set free

Shohon was laying on the pitched road, with his mouth covered in blood, he was thinking about the way he led his life up until now.

He always led a life trying his best not to hurt others. Even though, people called him a fool for being honest, he never paid much attention to their opinion.

Moreover, he strongly detests people who do evil things. His hatred for corrupted people are so strong that if he could he would kill them by tearing them apart. But, it is easier to think than actually doing it. When he would think about his family, he simply couldn't bring himself to do something like that. Because, it would cause them grief. Besides, he somewhat hated his dark self. His family and other closest relatives thought of him as some kind, innocent, gentle and a bit foolish. They never in their wildest imagination would have think that Shohon is someone who felt the way he does. Because, then, it would betray the way Shohon acts, talks, behaves. So, considering all this, he locked that dark part of himself deep down inside his heart.

But, now that his parents are no more in the world of living and there are no people closest to him in this world, he could finally let his dark self set free.

That's right. I don't need to act like a kind asshole anymore. I can do anything I want now. I can finally let my true self set free. Being, a good person has no value in the world of grown-ups.. Besides, I am through being a hypocrite. It's exhausting.

Shohon suddenly uttered:

Kill.kill.kil. kill

[Intense dark emotion has been detected]

[Warning: Transforming in this state might cause you to rampage]

[You will now undergo a new transformation]

As he uttered those words, he clinged his bloodied teeth, then suddenly, Shohon's orange hair was growing bigger and turning white. Then, his sclera, iris, retina turned dark purple. After that, his entire body and face were changing it's color to white, and purple dark color mark began to appear all over his body. Those marks were a bit curvy. Those curvy dark purple marks also appeared on his forehead and chin. Right after that, 2 blackish horns grew on his temples, they are also a bit curved, and can't be more that 10 centimeters. Next, his ears were becoming pointy like that of an elves. Finally, his upper and lower lips were getting pointy and through them his pointy and sharp teeth could be seen.

This transformation was completely different from his first one. He,now, was looking much more terrifying, majestic and cool.

But a second transformation is unheard of for horrid system users. A user can only take on the form and use the power of the horrid, who's blood run within their veins.

So, something like this is indeed unusual unless this is the form Shohon's horrid form was suppose to look like. Maybe, Elora was aiming for that all along. She made Shohon go through 2 trails instead one and pairing Shohon and Akashi up thinking Akashi would betray him if he got the chance. It could be all for this.

Those five shady man looking at Shohon, terrified. They thought he was a normal human just like them. They never thought he was some kind of a freaky monster. They freaked out and began to run other way, screaming.

But, it wasn't gonna save them. Before they had even the chance to blink, they found themselves in pieces. Blood splattered on the pitched road. Beside that splattered blood was standing Shohon.

He tore off his t-shirt and wiped the blood off his right hand using it, the same hand he used to cut them off into pieces so quickly.

He then leaned forward, and made a super dash.

Meanwhile, Akashi, with a smirk on his face, was running as fast as he could. Not knowing a certain doom was approaching him at a great speed. He then saw the exit gate of the city. Seeing this he opened his mouth a bit, being happy.

"Ha ha ha ha, this is it. I am finally out-"

Suddenly, he felt something passed by him with great speed. He then stopped running, and stood still, panting.

A terrifying expression was taking over his face, seeing a horrid standing right Infront of the gate. This horrid was none other than Shohon himself. Though, there's no way for Akashi to know that. Because, he isn't familiar with this form of Shohon.

It was as if he felt betrayed. Because, there was still few minutes left before the final trial starts. So, seeing a horrid standing right Infront of the gate made his face mortified.

He turned around, thinking about finding a exist that way. But, before he could even take a step forward, he saw his right lower arm fell off beneath his feet. Out of pain, he screamed, opening his mouth as wide as he could.

He fell on his buttock, and looked at Shohon, who was Infront of him. With a pair of terrified eyes, he asked:

"Who are you?"

Shohon simply answered:

"Reserve a place right next to you for me in hell. So that we can curse sitting next to each other while we burn in there for eternity."

After that, he raised his right arm and flatten it, then swung it around Akashi's neck. 

Consequently, his head fell off on the ground. Before the body could fell backward Shohon kneeled down on his right feet, and grabbed Akash's left shoulder with his left hand. Then without wasting any moments he pulled back his right arm, after flattening it he violently pierced him through his chest and destroyed the heart. Blood came gushing out of both his backside and chest.

This was it for Akashi. It was without a doubt game over for him. Shohon let go of his Shoulder, then Akashi's severed body fell backward. Akashi's severed head was not too far away from his body. His eyes became lifeless.

Then the screen appeared before Shohon, congratulating him:

[You have slain a Human-horrid hybrid]

[The name of the slain hybrid is Cannon horrid.]

Meanwhile, Elora and her red haired companion, in the monitoring room, were completely shocked. But, more than Elora was shocked the red haired girl.

"What happened to him?"

She widened her eyes, utterly shocked.

The yellow haired girl joined them too to see what was going on. Though, she glanced at the monitor but wasn't as shocked as the red haired girl. 

But, Elora, one the other hand, was contend. It was like as if she had anticipated this outcome. She was crossing her arms while sitting on the sofa. She noticed her hands were shaking a bit out of excitement.

"Begin the final trial right now."

"Roger that."

The yellow haired girl headed back to the room, from where she released those other two Horrids.

The red haired looked at Elora, and said:

"But there's still 20 minutes left."

"That doesn't matter."

Elora said, getting annoyed. Then she added with a sarcastic tone:

"You sure are talkative today, Remi. I think it would be in your best interest to stay quiet."

After that Remi stayed quiet, lowering her head. Though, it might have looked like Elora said it sarcastically, but Remi definitely sensed malice in her way of saying that. She knew trying to talk to Elora after that won't be a wise thing to do.

Now back to Shohon, who looking at the crimson red night illuminated by the red moon. It ,as though, looked like it was giving an indication of blood bath.

Then, suddenly a teleportation pentagram appeared not to far away from where Shohon was standing in his deadly horrid form.

From that pentagram a snake like horrid was slowly coming out. Seeing this, some criminals who was nearby, got paralyzed there out of fear and some began to run away.

After a while, the snake completely came out of there. It looked very ferocious. It was at least 6 meters tall. It had a deep yellowish eye on the middle of its face. Though, the size of the eye was rather small compare to its size. It also had enormous teeth. All of them were grinding with one and the other, and saliva was dropping on the ground from its mouth. It had black skin....
