Chapter 60 - My Last Request

A disgusting smile formed on the man's face right after he made a malicious remark, his eyes watching the student's reactions with a sadistic expression, —almost as if he had foreseen everything that would happen from this moment forward.

— Listen again. This is all because of your actions. Not only did you attack us, but you also left several marks on our bodies... You don't seem to feel any shame at all — he said angrily, placing his fingers in inside Rei's mouth.

The touch felt like millions of insects crawling over his skin. At first, the boy just wanted to see how far these guys would go, but with his patience at its limit and a vein bulging out on his forehead, he spoke up with an ironic tone.

— What the fuck are you talking about? Being falsely accused pisses me off. You guys are seriously getting on my nerves, better get the hell out of here before I end up killing you.

His terrifying gaze, sharp enough to pierce through solid rock, froze them in place. They trembled as if staring at a rabid beast ready to pounce.

Realizing the shift in atmosphere, the man quickly backed away from the boy and moved toward his partner, who also seemed slightly shaken. The two then whispered to each other with their backs turned.

— What should we do? — asked the companion.

— We go all the way. You know he can't do anything. We've come too far for that. He's trapped.

— But what if he's a mage? We'd be screwed... — he murmured nervously, his eyes fixed on the ground.

— Are you scared? You're the one who got us into this, don't chicken out now. Even if he's a mage, he'd still need his hands to cast a spell.

— …Yeah. You're right. But… you're not planning to kill him, are you, brother? — he asked hesitantly.

— …

— You don't trust me? Of course not. We're just gonna have some fun — the man replied with a twisted smile, though his words lacked conviction.

— O-Okay…

When their conversation ended, they approached the student, looking directly into his eyes. But soon, their focus shifted to Rei's body, captivated by his appearance, as if their previous hesitation had never existed.

With a flushed face, the fat man spoke in an aggressive tone, unable to look away: — Finally, I can touch you.

— It'll be worse if you try to resist — his partner added, unbuckling his belt and fixing his gaze on the boy's exposed chest.

'These disgusting, repulsive sons of bitches. I wasn't planning on killing them, but after this… I thought they still had some humanity left. Damn it. Why did I even expect a shred of morality from these assholes…'

— You're fucking disgusting. Is this your plan? Kidnap and assault me? — he spat, filled with rage, but the men only laughed at his words.

— Seriously… I was only thinking about breaking your faces, but I changed my mind. I think breaking your legs and hands won't be enough.

— What do you think you can do in this situation, you idiot? — one of them sneered, reaching for the boy's leg.

— Can I ask one last question before that? — Rei said, his serious gaze making the man hesitate mid-motion.

— You really have no shame making requests at a time like this. Don't you feel humiliated?! — the disfigured-faced man scoffed.

— Okay, okay, brother! He said it's the last thing. I'm kinda curious. Can't we listen to his final request? — his partner asked, still eyeing Rei's body hungrily.

— Whatever, I guess. What do you want? Trying to get out of here alive? You even know where we are?

— Alright then, one last request. Mind if I make you two idiots fly?

— Huh? What the hell are you talkin' abou...

[System]

[Skill Activated]

[Hemomancy]

The moment the skill was invoked, the blood within their bodies started to spill out uncontrollably, pouring from their skin in unnatural streams. The men shrieked in unimaginable agony as they felt excruciating pain coursing through every inch of their bodies.

Despite the gruesome nature of his ability, Rei felt a sense of satisfaction in learning how to use it. He wanted to test its true power further… but for now, he chose to activate another skill to keep them away from him, especially with his hands still restrained.

[Skill Activated]

[Telekinesis]

As soon as the command was given, both men were violently hurled backward, crashing at high speed into a tree. The impact was so intense that the tree nearly split apart, leaving the men unconscious on the ground.

— I told you not to try anything stupid unless you wanted to die, didn't I? If you'd just listened to me, none of this would've happened.

With that, Rei reached for a piece of the rope binding his wrists. Once he managed to grab hold of it, he invoked his skill to animate objects. He then commanded it to self-destruct.

[Object Destroyed Successfully!]

Now free, the boy stood up and walked toward the two men, who were slowly regaining consciousness, their faces filled with confusion and terror.

— Eek… W-What the hell are you?! — one of them stammered, coughing up blood, his eyes wide with disbelief at the figure standing before him.

'What a disgusting situation. These guys are lower than pigs. They're nothing but filth, always preying on others. Seeing them like this, broken and powerless, is… the best fucking feeling in the world.'

— I'm just me. Consider this karma. Seriously, I can't even imagine how many people you bastards have killed and raped — Rei said coldly, his piercing gaze fixed on them as he grabbed one by the collar.

— P-Please… No, no, don't kill me! S-Stay away from me, stay away!

— Relax, man. You're not dying anytime soon.
