Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

As Acht looked into his eyes, he felt himself fall into an abyss of nothingness that he will never escape. Those eyes were hypnotic as much as they were horrifying to look at.

Acht couldn't even feel his heartbeat for a proper two seconds because of the tension. Then, the creature made a move, he tightened his grip on Acht's body and made a swinging motion. The boy knew what he was about to do and immediately felt the lethal danger he was in.

'Fuck! He's gonna throw me. If I hit the wall, it's over!' He clenched his teeth tightly as he thought hurriedly.

Then, with a fast and swift move, Acht's body was sent flying at an inhuman speed. It was so fast that he felt as if he traveled in time to the past.

*BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

The impact was so strong that the whole chamber and also the tunnel started collapsing and the ceiling began crumbling down like an endless rain of rocks.

Leislet, who was laying down, had to move quickly before she got smashed by a huge boulder above her.

The after-effects of the hit didn't subside until thirty seconds later. That was when the creature looked at the place where the boy should be laying dead.

The dirt got swept away and revealed the boy. He was laying back on the wall. A huge amount of blood was gushing out from every part of his body. All of his limbs were broken and his skull was also probably broken into shards too. His organs were ruptured and we're bleeding out endlessly, filling his insides to the brim with his own blood.

This was by far the most lethal injury Acht sustained in all of his lives. He was genuinely going to die, no beating around the bush.

But, what made the creature look slightly differently at Acht is the fact that…he was still alive. In fact, he was not only alive, but he was still conscious too!

The creature couldn't believe that a weak human like him could stay alive after that hit. He even deliberately made him fly into the wall head first for a quick death.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Acht coughed loudly and hoarsely as he spat out blood and also chunks of his destroyed organs in the process.

He was in so much pain that his body immediately shut down. The only thing left working was his brain which kept him conscious. He was sure of one thing though…he was going to die.

His eyes that were fighting the urge to close down looked at Leislet who was trying to find a solution to save their lives. The exit got closed with tons and tons of rocks and became impossible to use. The creature that was way above their league was also not allowing them to leave.

It was just the most desperate state she had herself in.

'Dammit! Is this how I'm going to die?' He cursed under his breath. He then tried to take a long breath but couldn't since his lungs were now akin to a bowl full of grounded beef.

'Fuck. This is so sudden. I still have goals and dreams. I have someone to go back to to apologize. How can I die here?!'

Then, as he was having this internal crisis, the creature approached him slowly just like how he did before. Then, he grabbed Acht by the neck again. The boy's blood immediately dirtied his hands.

Acht didn't even squint in pain since there was nothing to suffocate when he was unable to breathe.

Then, the creature raised its other hand and made a pointy hand gesture.

Acht looked at this scene and felt like his head was under the guillotine. Every memory of his life came rushing back like a tidal wave.

Everything that he experienced, bad and good, was now being screened inside his head like a long movie at the cinema.

His life back on earth, all of his missions as a hitman. The way Dia was brutally crippled and how he killed everyone responsible for that in the most gruesome way possible. He also remembered how he died. It was something unclear at first but he could recall that he was just casually walking and then he suddenly lost consciousness and he found himself in Livia's domain.

All of those things made his life all the more unique.

Somehow, even with his end nearing, he didn't feel fear, nor did he feel regret. He was just slightly sad that he wasn't able to reach what he yearned for.

The reason for that is probably because he died trying and not just sitting there waiting for his end. It wasn't something he took pride in but it was at least good enough for regret to vanish from his heart.

Then, suddenly, with a weird expression, Acht started laughing. It was a quiet laugh that was barely even audible from his mouth.

The laugh was calm, yet crazy, hateful, yet pure, ugly, yet beautiful. It had so many contrasting emotions in it that it could confuse anyone hearing it…including the creature in front of him.

After that, Acht looked at the monster with a huge grin before doing something even Leislet couldn't believe.

He just closed his mouth and outed slightly, before unleashing whatever was in his mouth in the form of spit.

The bits and pieces of organs along with blood and saliva reached the creature's face and stuck to his forehead. The creature didn't avoid the attack because he was genuinely shocked at the fact that the human he was about to kill didn't beg or cry from fear but instead laughed like a maniac. Who could be sane enough to do that?!

Then, with a disdainful smile, Acht muttered.

"Fuck you, bastard!"

*SWISH*

The outraged creature didn't even let him complete his words as he immediately plunged his hand deep into Acht's chest. It was fast, quiet, and almost unbelievable to see.

"ACHHHHTTT!!!!"
