Fate/Rebirth

...

As I said this words, everyone inside of the building looked at me with shock and fear. The cruelty that I was showing was too much even for them, that live with a sword in the hand, going to the dungeon every day to kill monsters. But punish someone to cut their limbs?, they have never seen someone saying that.

Loki looked at me with cold sweat running from her head, and Ishtar looked at me with fear and dread in her face, and a face that show her unwillingness, after all she will lose not only three members of her familia, she will also lose her captain if she accepts that.

Cutting their limbs in this city is the same as sentence them to die. They wouldn't be able to dive in the dungeon anymore, and what is an adventurer without this. Even living will be a problem.

Kyomu: " Do you accept their punishment, Ishtar?" I said looking at her eyes, my face only showing coldness and ruthless feelings, I don't need to give them mercy, and I don't give mercy to enemies, that have been always my rule.

"Don't Forgive, Don't Forget, Kill Them Or Use Them" Thas is my "motto", my way of living.

Then the people inside looked at my with respect and fear, after all they have never seen a person going against a god this way, almost all the time gods go against each other, not a human against a god.

Then Ishtar looked at their familia members with a bitter smile, she know that going against me will only end in more deaths, but still she looked at me and said.

Ishtar: "Is... is there another way...?" She asks me almost begging me, and I said.

Kyomu: "Of course, there is!." I said with a smile that made her and Loki shudder. " If you become my enemy, you can save them, go to your place, gather allies!!! the more the better!!, arm your children and... fight me to death." I said as I release a countless amount of bloodl.u.s.t and fight will. " If you fight, maybe... just maybe you have a chance of winning." I said trying to convince her, but she looked at me with rage and a helpless expression, well, basically I am asking to send her familia to die, for a small chance of living, and even if they lived, she would lose almost all her familia, for sure.

Then I saw one of her familia trying to runaways as we were talking, it was the man, and this moment was good enough to try something new, I have always thought that I need to touch the target to activate , or my shadow have to be close to do it, but what if I try to send a small part of my shadow through something or to try to manipulate my shadow, after all sometimes my shadow comport like if it was alive, and my shadow is mine so I should be able to control it at a certain extent.

Let's do the first test.

And as I saw him trying to dash toward the exit, I summoned in an instant.

The lance appeared from my shadow to my hand, and as I grab her, I try to control my shadow and covert a small part of with my shadow. And from my hand a small portion of my shadow got embedded to the lance, and as the man was reaching the exit I threw , causing the people in my surroundings to become tense.

~swoosh~

The lance flew through the lobby and pierce directly the back of the man, piercing through and get stabbed directly to the floor, impaled.

As the man got impaled to the floor, he began to cough blood and said "h-hel-p", and a second later he was completely death, after all is not a "normal" lance, it has a curse that destroy the body like if countless thorns pass through the body completely destroying it, well, someone need to have a high ranked magic resistance to avoid getting killed like this man.

And as a pool of blood began to form in the feet of the man, I whispered.

As I said this words, the lance began to turn dark as my shadow began to pour out of it, then began to travel across the body of the man completely covering him, and a strange energy for the people in the building began to pour out of him, I call this energy, , to make it simple, is the energy that irradiate my shadow when I use this skill, when people looked and felt this energy they began to shudder in fear, they didn't feel evilness from it but just... they know that they have to fear it; it was an instinct engraved in their soul, and not only the people felt this, the gods felt the same as them.

And then as the body got completely covered the shadow began to form a ball, the size of a small coin and then this ball began to travel toward my, this ball contain the "nutrients" of the man, his skills, his parameters. I will call this thing a from now on, I don't want to call this thing a "ball". The reached my body, and I extended my hand and as the touch my hand, it began to disappear in it.

All of this happened in just a few seconds, twenty seconds at max. then as all of this happened everyone began to look at me, of course they felt fear toward me, but they also show a great amount of respect toward me, after in this city, strength is very important, so they give a great amount of importance to people strength and bravery.

But the Ishtar Familia looked at me with extreme fear, faces completely white, legs shivering, probably if I shout toward them they will die from fear.

As they looked at me I sigh and said.

Kyomu: "~sigh~, what a p*ssy. If you live killing and stealing at least died with honor.~sigh~" I said with a helpless expression, then Ishtar looked at my and she was going to say something but I interrupt and said.

Kyomu: "Then, what are you waiting for, Ishtar?. I don't have all the time of the world." I said toward her, she looked at me with a bitter smile, and eyes filled with fear and then she looked at her familia members, Phryne and the two other women kneeling, Phryne was completely f*ck up, she was on the floor, dumbfounded and a face without any kind of hope, normally at least she would try to fight for her life at least, but against my... she knows that... she was dead. The other two women that I don't know their names were the same as her, but they were also crying in despair.

Will I forgive them, if they are women?...

No.

I give a f*ck.

They become my enemy, that's all. That's all what I need for me to kill them.

And then Ishtar called to Tammuz her vice-captain and told him to cut their arms and legs.

As he began to walk toward the three women, he began to unsheathe his sword; the people looked at this with a helpless face and then Eina said.

Eina: "K-Kyo-sama, c-can you-" She was saying with a pleading face, but I looked at her with a cold expression then I sighed and said.

Kyomu: "No, Eina-san. Let me ask you a question." I said as I looked at her with a playful smile. "What would it happen here if I wasn't strong?, if I was just a level one or two, what would it happens to me, my wife and familia?." I said as I looked at her, then she looked at me shocked for seconds and then she just sighed and said nothing. But I continue. " And also, how many people do you think they have hurt? one? three? ten?, if I don't do anything to this three women, what would I be?" As I said this the people began to look at me with admiration and respect, as I wasn't just thinking in revenge, but also in the innocent that were hurt.

Well, but, really, I give a f*ck about them. I am just saying this to give Hestia a reason, after all she was a good person. An honest and bright girl, that only want happiness, as for Aria, she is a prideful woman, and the King of Knights, the amount of people she has send to execute for their crimes like this, is much, much more than I have.

The Loki Familia looked at me with respect, knowing that I was right. But... looks like Loki understood what I was trying to do, she looked at me with curiosity and then she smiles to me with a mischievousness smile, then I smile toward her with a bright smile, causing her to have a small blush, just for a second.

...

~grin~

...

Then as Tammuz got closer to them, a small white-haired boy dashed toward him and stopped in front of him and said.

Bell: "S-Stop, please!." He said with fear in his voice. Bell Cranel, as I thought a brave a man. Looks like he took the bait. Then let's see what he can do.

I looked at him with a neutral face and said.

Kyomu: "Who are you? and why you stop him?" I said slightly irritated, of course I was just acting the art of acting is good skill I learned in my past life, and someone as Loki can easily see through my act, after all she is that "Loki", deceive her is... well, impossible.

Then Bell's legs began to shiver in fear, and then he said.

Bell: "W-Wait!, I-I just can see a girl suffer like this!, my grandpa always said to me that a man have to protect women's!" He said with all his courage and bravery that he had, as he said this, the people looked at him with bright eyes, and a lot of respect, all of them saw me taking Ea, they saw my strength and yet, he stepped in and try to stop me.

A brave man, but... young man, bravery can easily be transformed to stupidity.

...

Then I said.

Kyomu: "Well, they are criminals and yet you want to protect them?" As I said this, he got slightly shocked and then he closed his eyes for a moment and said to me with determination.

Bell: "I-I am Bell Cranel, and E-Even if they are criminals, c-cutting their limbs, i-is to much!" He said with strength and determination, causing to Hestia's eyes got brighter and then she said.

Hestia: "HAHA~ he is right!, Kyo-kun!! Let's stop this!" She said as she looked at Bell with a look of appreciation, but then I looked at them with cold eyes and said.

Kyomu: "No." Just a word, just this word filled them with fear and helpless feeling, then I looked at Bell directly to his eyes, causing him to shiver in fear and cold sweat fell from his head. Then I said.

Kyomu: "But... Bell, isn't it? You are brave... just like a hero." I said this with a small smile, then I continue. "Then, Bell, in your name I will allow you and Ishtar to give me something that can convert my anger and the d.e.s.i.r.e to cut their limbs to... a chance to save them." As I said this words, the Ishtar Familia's hope began to blaze again, a chance appeared in front of them, in the hands of a rookie, and they can't waste it. Then Ishtar said.

Ishtar: "We are more than willing to provide you anything you want!, money, weapons, women, everything you want, just name it!" She said with a bright smile, hoping I ask her for something, but I looked at them and then I said looking at Bell.

Kyomu: "Of course the Ishtar Familia have to give something, but... Bell, is was you who want to save them, so the price for their life... you have to paid these." I said looking at Bell's eyes, then he looked at me with fear but eyes filled with determination.

Bell: "I-I don't have money... the only thing I have is... my life." He said with eyes blazing with undying determination.

A true hero... he is a hero. That's the only word that can describe him. Then Hestia looked at me hoping to don't do nothing to him, then I looked at Bell and said.

Kyomu: "Bell, I don't want your life." As I said this words, Bell got shocked, because he don't have anything more, if I don't want his life he won't be able to do nothing.

Bell: "T-Then what you want?... I don't have anything more..." He said with a face filled with despair, but I smile to him and said.

Kyomu: "Bell, your life is worthless to me, why will I kill you." I said as I laugh, causing him to got ashamed and then I continue. "Bell, what are you paying for is not for their life." I said as pointed to the three women in the floor, then I said.

Kyomu: "What you have to pay for, is for the innocent people that they killed." I said with cold eyes, causing him to shiver. And I continue. "And your life... doesn't have the weight to pay for this." I said this.

Then Bell looked at me with pain in his eyes, then he looked at me for answers.

Kyomu: "Bell, would you give your future?" And as I said this words, the people looked at me confused, but Loki looked at me with a "I GOT IT" expression, she got to know my objective, well, I don't really care.

Bell: "M-My future?" He said confused.

Kyomu: "Yes, you come to this city, to become and adventurer, isn't it?" I said this, and he nodded his head. Then I continue. "The people they killed and stole, in the past they got a future, but it was taken from them, so... give your future and they are saved." I said pointing to the kneeling women.

As I said this words, the people got to know how... cruel or cold I am, but they know that what I am asking for is not even a fragment of what someone will pay to keep his life, so they know that I am going easy on him. Then Bell said.

Bell: "T-Then, w-what are you going to do with me?" He said with fear but with determination. I looked at him with and said.

Kyomu: "I will take your strength, Bell. You will be able to live, but you won't have a chance of becoming strong, you will never get a skill, your stats will never rise... your adventure will be over." I said with strength, then he looked at me with tears in his eyes and then as he griped his hand with strength he said.

Bell: "~sob~I-I will do it!" As he said this words, the gods and adventures looked at him, they know that this kid was filled with courage, and didn't doubt to give his future for the life of three girls, causing me to be looked as the bad man, well... I am.

Then I saw Ais, going to Aria and said to her.

Ais: "... Is there a way?" She asked to Aria then Aria looked at her with a bitter smile and shake her head, Aria know how I am, even if we know each other for a small time. Then Ais looked disappointed and looked at me with a helpless expression. And Hestia that was beside them was struggling with her feelings, she know that I was right, but also wrong, but... she wants to avoid the sacrifice of this kid, but she can't, because if she does that, the life of the three women will be over.

...

Then I stood up, and began to walk toward Bell, I reach him then I extended my hand toward his c.h.e.s.t and then I said.

Kyomu: "Bell Cranel... you are the bravest man I have see in my life." I said this as my shadow began to turn alive, slowly crawling to his legs and going up, then I said. "But... Bell, you are also the stupidest and brainless man I have ever saw." I said with eyes filled with cruelty causing him to grind his teeth in despair.

Then my shadow covert him completely and then I began to focus in him, to what I can , after all I can't kill him.

...

He doesn't have any skill right now, but I can see... in the deepest part of his soul a few skill sleep there.

...

There it's.... Liaris Freese. The skill to increase the speed of growth as long as one feelings last. The stronger the feeling the better the effect, also gives me immunity to charms.

Then I began to search for more...

...

...

I founded it, Argonaut. A cheat skill that allow a stupid kid like him, not to die. A charging attack that do a savage damage, and can either sound like a small chime or a grand bell depending on the power needed to defeat the foe.

This is nice!~ I really regreat not being able to take Gilgamesh, Gate of Babylon, but this one, make me forget about that!~

Then as I thought to get out and don't take anymore, I manage to see something more... in his deepest part of his soul.

...

...

!!!!!!!!!!!

This skill!!! is too good!! what a f*ck!! Lets see what it does.

...

Basically, I become the luckiest man! Broken as F.

...

Then I saw nothing more, so I stopped focusing and looked at Bell covert in my shadow, then my shadow separate from his body, dashing toward me, covering me completely. Then a few seconds later my shadow went back to its place, and this made Bell faint.

Then I pointed to a few staff members of the guild to take care of him and said that he will be fine. Then Hestia looked at my with anger and said.

Hestia: "How is he!?" She asks worried about Bell, I didn't feel any jealousy, after all I just met her so then I said.

Kyomu: "He is fine, I didn't do too much, he fainted because he got too scared." I said lying with a neutral face, not showing any feelings. Then Hestia slowly nodded her head, then I continued. "Don't worry about him, I will give him enough money for him to live a luxury life, after all you never see a stup- I mean brave man like him." I said with an awkward smile, causing her to chuckle, then she released a sigh and said.

Hestia: "~sigh~Can you do that?, I feel pity for him. Even if it was his choice..." I smile to her and then began to rub her head and said.

Kyomu: "You are too kind... Hestia, but that is what make you this beautiful." I said with a kind smile making her to blush then she began to punch me in the c.h.e.s.t calling me stupid and things I didn't really understood.

...

A nice result I think. She is happy; I am happy, everyone is happy!!
