Villain of my own novel

167 166. Not so simply.

"No..." Eshwar's eyes displayed pure disbelief and a sudden chill run down Henry's spine.

"No, no, no, no..... no..." Eshwar continued to shake his head in disbelief before abruptly disappearing. Henry and Edwin Cobb simply stared at the spot where Eshwar stood in a daze, unable to comprehend what had just actually happened, and before a minute passed, Eshwar reappeared in the same spot, bloodshot eyes and seething in rage.

BAM

"Uck!?" Edwin Cobb groaned in shock when he was abruptly 'knocked out.'

'What? A 'vampire' was knocked out?' Even Henry was taken aback and stared in disbelief at Eshwar. Because of their absurd recovery rate and vitality, there has never been a time when a vampire was 'knocked out,' and as a result, humans have been unable to gather any 'data' on the vampires or devise a method to reduce their numbers, so what Eshwar did simply because he wanted to was impressive in its own level.

THUMP

Eshwar abruptly threw Edwin Cobb at Henry, who was still dazed, and the air around Henry turned visibly white before a translucent light blue tomb covered both Henry and the unconscious Edwin.

"Wha..." Henry wanted to ask Eshwar what he was doing, but was cut short by Eshwar's unexpected actions.

BOOM

Eshwar jumped off of the ground, and the force of his jump caused a huge ripple that destroyed all the buildings near them; around ten buildings collapsed in an instant. Henry and Edwin Cobb were safe because of the tomb Eshwar had built before his departure, but everything around them was covered by a thick smokescreen.

The smoke got thinner, and Henry saw that except for inside the tomb, the land around them had huge cracks on it, so huge that a human could easily fall into them.

'Wha? What's gotten into him so suddenly? Why was he so angry?' A series of questions raced through Henry's mind, followed by another important question.

"..... How did he suddenly get stronger?" Henry mumbled in daze as the translucent light blue tomb slowly started crack.

***

[Party member 'Isha Walker' has died.]

"No, no, no, no, no, no...." I started to deny whatever was in front of my eyes.

"This..... Please, please." I mumbled as I stared at the hotel room where I left Isha this morning.

"Ah..." A wired sound escaped my mouth as I started at the room from afar where Jiwoo, Vinny, Katharine, Katline, and Violet were kneeling down in front of Isha in the room I left her in. Isha's shadow had expanded out and was restraining them, and she seemed like she was in her own world as I saw her lips moving.

I noticed Vinny's eyes set ablaze in a green coloured aura, and he abruptly dashed forward and punched at Isha's face with a strong killing intent oozing out of him. As soon as his fist reached Isha's face, my mind turned blank, and the 'Eshwar' I didn't want to bring out in this life began to act out; at that instance, I just wanted to rip him apart.

I wanted to move, but my body wouldn't let me, forcing me to simply observe the scene as it moved slowly. Isha's body flew towards the wall while spinning, as blood trickled down from her mouth, and she hit her head against the wall, breaking it and continuing to fly out, as her head began to bleed and I noticed that her body was covered in a thin layer of golden hue.

I'm not sure why, but she ignored them and flew away, but my gaze remained fixed on Vinny Grover who punched Isha, the hand he punched Isha with was bleeding profusely with his skin melted from his knuckles, and then suddenly every memory of 'Park Oh' the association chairman from my previous life, plotting to kill Frostine flashed in my mind, and the memory didn't stop there, every memory of Frostine's death flashed through my mind, fuelling my 'mine' obsession, and then the memory of Frostine's death was replaced with Isha's.

'I'll kill you!' My voice reverberated in my mind.

My body began to cold, indicating that I was about to morph into my 'Frost Devil' form; this was something I did every time after I returned to the human domain; every time I had the feeling that I was about to transform into that form, I would control it, but this time was different; this time I gladly welcomed it.

CRE-CREAK

The surroundings around me froze and started to creak.

But....

DING

[Papa. Isha. Un-awakened. Sudden. Error.] Eunomia sent a message through the system, and I instantly snapped out of my trance; my rage was still there, and many ways to kill them cruised through my mind.

'Not so simply....' I thought of killing him right this instance, but I calmed down, because I can't just 'simply' kill him.

'Yes, destroy. I will destroy them.' I grinned at the blissful words that cruised through my mind and glanced at the system notification window, where my daughter's message awaited me, and because her influence on Earth had slightly increased, she was able to send about 5 words at once, which I somehow knew as soon as the system influence increased just now.

I can contact her directly through the system if I'm in a dungeon or a domain, but since she tinkered with my control skill, we could just talk if we want to, but the only requirement is that I'm in a dungeon or a domain. The issue was being able to talk even outside, which was partially resolved as her influence on Earth grew.

"Hahaha, how cute." I muttered out loud because I wanted my mind to calm down so that I wouldn't get angry at Eunomia, so I slightly calmed my anger, read and understood what Eunomia wanted to say and what had just happened.

'Because of the error, the system presumed Isha had died and the curse activated or because of Isha an error occurred in the system and forced it to presume that Isha had died, making the curse activate.'

"F**king bit*h! The next time I see her, I'm going show her, her place!!" Vinny ignored his bleeding hand and yelled angrily, his words filled with malice; as soon as those words entered my ears, my thoughts about 'why the system suddenly got an error' were cut short, and I glanced at them again, this time a little calmer, just a tinny tiny bit calmer. I can contain my rage for as long as I want, but only if I have a proper and complete plan in place with scenarios under my control.

'If it had been my previous life, I would have gone with the flow, slowly killing and torturing them to my heart's content, but this time it's a little different, because they can stop me now that I've become weaker, I think?' Getting weaker was one of the things I wanted because I could actually do something physically if I was weaker, because I prefer to move more physically rather than blast everything with a single thought, but only now have I realised that there are many restraints on the weak.

"That bit*h should have shut her damn mouth and accept my damn apology!! How dare she?" Vinny's eyes set ablaze with green coloured aura.

'Hmm... I should listen to such things to 'stack' my rage, though if he crosses that line, I may kill them before even I could realize that I have already killed them.' I widened my senses and focused on them.

"The next time I see her, I'll put her in her place, no..... I'll kill her!!" Vinny declared and Jiwoo seemed uncaring while the others simply stared at Vinny with stupefied expressions.

"Hahahaha, you insignificant insect, hahaha, she is not that weak....." I laughed out at his 'declaration.'

"Hahahaha! Pfft, control, pfft.....huuu...." I laughed and simply mumbled because my killing intent started to ooze out without my consent.
