Viewers be warned- acts of violence will persist in this chapter. 

:( The Demented Hero of Reincarnation

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Staring in the direction of the gray-haired youth, stood an idle Loli who lost track of the person's position.

Blinking her eyes she desperately hoped everything she saw was merely a figment of her imagination. 

Foom!

But who said life was so easy 

In Front of the girl appeared the youth who with his movement art had vanished and appeared in front of Loli instantaneously 

Internally Edward was holding every fiber of his being from torturing and killing the youth before him.

But Edward could be patient …

several seconds of momentary silence pursued before Edward spoke in that disgusting voice.

Raising his hands he extended all ten of his fingers by his face while he donned a grin.

"I shall give you 4 no 10 seconds to run from me, if you shall escape from me I'll let you live... If not we will see what I do" 

Edward's plan was to give little Loli a false sense of hope an-

"Just kill me, you already ar-" 

Before she could finish speaking Edward interrupted in a fierce tone. 

"Did I say I fucking ask what you thought!" spat Edward 

Hearing this he became extremely displeased. 

He lost control.

Grabbing the Loli's neck he started squeezing with all of his might wanting to erase the thing that annoyed his pleasure. 

Constricting her neck he felt her warmth and knew she was alive so she slowly tightened his grip.

Feeling her neck being grasped she squirmed flailing her legs in the air for several seconds. She tried to release the iron-cladded grip locked on her neck by scratching the person's hands and kicking his body, but it was pointless. 

Fear started to kick in tears started stemming from her face. 

Memories of her past erupted in her last moments. 

Her brother, mother, and father. All of them were killed in the attack on their village 

Closing her eyes she stopped moving her body in futile attempts to escape but rather embraced it ... she had hoped for this 

Snap!

Thud!

The body fell lifelessly. 

Her neck twisted in the wrong direction her blood seeped out of her mouth and her eyes lost their original glory. 

Though she was strangled mercilessly she held no expression of terror etched on her face but rather … fulfillment. 

A curse or blessing 

She did not know

The last few seconds of haste of 'amans omnium' life were filled with longing, fear, anguish, unfulfillment, hate, and gratitude. 

Though she may have died a meaningless death she truthfully wanted it… her goal for attacking the youth anyway was to die. She held no purpose in her own eyes alone, cold and fighting second after second to survive another extra meager day filled with nothing but fear and sorrow. 

Looking at the youth's mutilated body Edward smiled as he watched blood seep from her mouth.

"Do you feel fulfilled?"

Obviously receiving no reply the crazed Edward saw this as a benevolent ending. 

"Think of this as my payment"

Getting on his knees Edward started tearing the body apart. Grabbing both hands together in opposite directions he tore her abdominal open spilling her internals out. 

As blood spilled like a fountain Edward pulled her intestines out like he was playing tug war, the long tubes of soft flesh were grasped in his hands and swung around like a lasso flinging bits and pieces of flesh and digested food, before placing the intestines around his neck like a scarf. 

Splat!

Crunch!

Tear!

Edward grasped the youth's arm and started tearing it off. Holding the arm he lowered his grasp on it and reached for the fingers crushing each one to hear the noise of bones crunching from it emanate. 

Punching the chest cavity Edward ripped out her heart and brought the organ to his mouth sinking his teeth into its flesh. Each bite he took was met with a squishy noise and blood leaking from the heart. 

This process of tearing off flesh and playing with it happened for several more hours before all that was left was the decrepit remains of the Wolf girl, a mess not even the harshest most brutal predator would do.

The flesh was scattered all over the cavern a mix of the spiders he slaughtered and the little wolf girl, and around the place where the youth sat was covered in a layer of crimson. 

**** 

Watching his counterpart committing such atrocities Edward did not feel anything. It just disgusted him, how could anything enjoy taking another's life for the sake of pleasure, it made no sense to him.

Watching him flail organs and rip muscle tissue sinking his teeth in the thigh, Edward said enough was enough.

It was too much.

In truth Edwad could have taken control of his body; he had only released 30% of his insanity during this whole incursion. Any higher percentage of using his skill trade of place would require him to fracture a finger to increase the skill amount by 10%.

Edward sending a message through his mind commanded this other self to terminate his control. 

"Discharge your dominion over the body" Edward spoke indifferently. 

"why should I"

"Do it or I will compel you"

Ignoring Edward's threat he persisted with his authority over the body.

But this was a blunder. 

Edwards sat in the red recliner, perching on the seat with his knees pulled up to his chest, supporting his weight on his feet. He raised his left arm, extending his index and middle fingers. Using his skill, he drew sets of golden runic inscriptions, and with a flick of his wrist, he sent the manifested inscriptions swirling around the observatory orb.

Edward utilized his proficiency over his skill to negate his other selves' control. 

"y-you bastard "

"Just stop opposing my control, " Edward conveyed 

Finally drowning his alter ego he took governance of his body. 

Taking a deep breath Edward discontinued mid-way as his stomach started churning.
