Chapter 114-Change (Part 2)



The time was close to midnight, the forest was calm and quiet as ever. Nothing could be heard except for the occasional rustling of leaves and bushes as some kind of creature moved inside them.

The fake sense of tranquility this place gives was the best hunting ground for predators that lurk in the shadows.

*Swish*

In between these bushes and thick trees, a silhouette could be seen moving nimbly and jumping from one place to another. Wearing black clothes, Rin was perfectly camouflaged into the area and it made it harder for animals to see him, not that he cared whether they saw him or not.

\'How far did I go inside?\' He thought to himself as he scanned the area. When he left the dormitory again, he quickly chose the border forests as his destination for many reasons. One of them is the fact that they are not patrolled by guards and the second reason is that he wanted to vent off some of the anger and frustration he had. What better way to do that than to kill some monsters?

He had been running deeper and deeper inside the forest for at least 10 minutes and he was now far away from the exit.

As he kept getting farther and farther inside the forest, he noticed on the horizon, a small hill that stood out like a sore thumb.

The hill was empty, but, Rin wasn\'t careless enough not to notice that something or \'somethings\' are lurking there, hiding and waiting for a target.

\'A group of beasts?\'

"Awooooo!!!!" Then, out of nowhere, he heard the loud howl of a creature followed by a series of howls from other beasts. The sound was deafening and loud enough to make the birds fly away in fear.

Then, without waiting, the group of beasts appeared out of the bushes and surrounded Rin. Looking at each one of them with cold eyes, he could see that they were a bunch of wolves.

He chose a random wolf and appraised it.

[Silver Fur Wolf]

[Rank: F]

[Strength: F-]

[Agility: F-]

[Dexterity: F]

\'Not that strong.\' Rin thought as he clenched his Dagger.

The wolves started encircling him as they growled loudly. Their red furious eyes kept glancing at him ominously. Their saliva kept trickling down their chins and to the ground as they eyed hungrily eyed Rin.

"Roar!!!"

Then, without hesitation, all the wolves dashed toward him and jumped on him. They didn\'t give Rin any escape route. Their aim was to shred him to pieces and kill him slowly.

But, the latter wasn\'t intending to run away at all. In fact, he was not going to let these wolves escape after this. They were now his targets.

*Swish*

When they were close enough to him, Rin activated Formless Ghost daggers skill and slashed viciously.

"Roaaar!!" Most wolves were caught in the attack as it slid through their thick skin and spilled blood out like a fountain.

The ones that evaded were able to get even closer to Rin. Their teeth went in to grab him by the neck and arms.

But, with a twist of his body, he easily evaded the attack and changed the grip on his dagger. After that, he stabbed one of the wolves in the eye. The sound of his eyeball popping like a ballon followed by the screech of pain echoed in the whole forest.

But, Rin wasn\'t over with that, he exerted his arm muscles and slid the dagger across the wolf\'s face, slicing it open like a piece of butter.

The wolf screamed loudly again as it tried to wriggle out. However, Rin wasn\'t going to just let it run away, he grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up. Another wolf was coming after him from behind so he turned around and threw the other wolf at him before pulling out another normal dagger and throwing it at a third wolf that was close to him.

The dagger pierced the air as it flew toward the beast and plunged into its forehead, piercing its forehead and killing it on the spot. Its eyes rolled to the back of its head as it fell down, motionless.

After that, Rin walked toward the two wolves that were stacked on top of each other. One of them was bleeding buckets as it wriggled like a dead fish. He could see life seeping out of its one left eye. However, forget about empathy, the only thing Rin was feeling was boiling rage and anger. Not at the wolf but at himself.

He was trying to vent his emotions on these beasts but seeing them dying this quickly only made him loathe himself more and more.

\'I can only do this to weak creatures. But, when it matters, I can\'t do anything.\' He thought to himself as he clenched his fist.

Then, he pulled the dead wolf away and grabbed the other one that tried to bite him.

*Smash*

He punched it in the face once, then twice, and then three times. He kept on punishing it again and again and again. Each punch made him remember how he got handled by that burly man like a piece of trash.

The wolf\'s face turned into a mushy mess of blood and flesh as Rin kept punching it.

"Die…"

*Smash*

"Die…"

*Smash*

"Die!!!"

*SMASH*

The last hit blew the monster\'s face off and it fell down dead, and headless. Looking at his hand, Rin saw the blood dripping from his hand. He got his hand injured because of the brutal beating he gave the wolf.

Rin didn\'t really notice his surroundings at all. Brain matter, blood, other weird fluids, and so many corpses riddled the ground.

The smell alone could make anyone throw up. It was so foul that a normal person shouldn\'t be able to handle it for more than a few seconds.

Without doing anything else, Rin just wiped his hand on his clothes and started walking away with a frown on his face.

But, before he could take a step, he heard a voice behind him.

"That\'s brutal…"

The voice was like a soothing melody to his perturbed heart. It was a voice he loved very much even though he never thought about it.

The same voice was somehow the way he can calm down and feel peaceful. As cold as it was and as emotionless as it was, he can only love that voice and tone.

"What are you doing here, Elise?" He asked without turning around.

"I heard that stuff happened. So I came here searching for you." She said as she walked toward him, avoiding stepping on blood and flesh on her way.

"You didn\'t need to follow me. I was just out to hunt and have some time alone."

"I can see that you are having some \'fun\'." She said sarcastically.

"Ah! I don\'t know. I just felt like being extra ruthless with them. Sorry for the disgusting sight." He said as he tried to force a smile on his face.

However, Elise didn\'t buy it at all since she looked extremely serious at the moment.

"What happened, Rin? I hate to admit it, but seeing you act like this is uncomfortable."

Rin didn\'t open his mouth to answer and merely looked around him.

"Remember what you said to me? \'We should always help each other when we need that\'. You seem like someone who needs help."

"Hehehe! You turned my words on me?" He asked with a sad chuckle.

"I am just using them to convince you." She said flatly.

"But, before that. let\'s go to another place. The smell here is unpleasant."

After that, Elise grabbed him by the arm and basically dragged him to another, calmer part of the forest. She chose an open area that has a view of the full moon.

"Sit down," Elise ordered as she pointed at a bulging rock nearby.

"Listen, Elise, it\'s really not tha-"

"I said sit down." She said in a domineering manner.

"Sigh, fine." Obliging, Rin did what she asked for.

After that, Elise sat down beside him and looked him in the eyes.

"Speak. What happened exactly?"

She didn\'t allow him to look anywhere else and basically cornered him to speak and tell her everything. Rin was intending to tell her sooner or later so it didn\'t really matter. He just wanted to stay alone for the night in hopes of calming down. Alas, that didn\'t happen and he was sure that if he kept on running around and killing monsters, he would only feel even worse. So, in a sense, Elise was like a blessing in disguise for him.

"Fine I willt ell you."

(A//N: Rin\'s character will be changing ever-so-slowly from now on. He will start to be even cooler:3)
