My Infatuation With Death Chapter 56 : Hypocrite
Perspective : Thor Gild [1 hour earlier]From a distance we could hear metal clashing against each other. Suspecting it was a certain someone, that we had been not very particularly keen on searching, we traced the sound.Gradually, the darkness within the deep chasm subsided while the clash and the eerie hissing sound grew louder, giving the impression that we were approaching the outside or somewhere nearby. As we arrived at the scene, we encountered whom I had suspected: Brandon and Robin. However, with an un suspected guest —the fiend responsible for this mess, that enormous centipede.The clashing noises reverberated through the air as Brandon's sword clashed with the numerous limbs of the centipede. It was a sight to behold, witnessing his sword emanating a deep violet aura. I had never seen him that serious before, except for one other time.It was when I first talked to him, after that party, due to an misunderstanding he was kicked out.It was the same night Conrad got stabbe

Perspective : Brandon Vlodsky"Dammit.. Dammit.... DAMMIT!"."Why must this happen over and over again"."Haven't I lost enough!"."Fuck"."History is repeating itself"."God! Do you get a sick pleasure by making me suffer"."But ... Not anymore... I ain't letting it happen again"."You hear me God.... FUCK YOU".Yes, I was terrified of it, but not any more, I stood tall and focused, my hands gripping the hilt of my sword with unwavering strength. As the enormous Centipede lunged towards me, I instinctively adjusted my posture, positioning my feet firmly apart for stability. With my gaze locked onto the creature, my body leaned slightly forward, ready to strike or defend at any given moment.I held my sword with both hands, creating a powerful grip that echoed my determination to save what I had. The weight of the weapon felt reassuring in my hands, its blade endowed in gravity magic, ready for the creature's attacks.With each breath, my muscles tensed, prepared to unleash controlled

Perspective : Brandon vlodsky (Nooo!)It happened in an instant . The creature vanished beneath the ground, taking half of Robin along with it, leaving behind only a gaping hole where Robin was last seen.The hole was surrounded by puddles of blood.Except me,Everyone else was left incapacitated, as the creature forcefully launched them into the roots that covered the walls.My sight a blur, dust still settling in, as I heard someone coughing.I attempted to head towards Marcus, but I wasn't able to move my right leg."No .... this can't be happening".As I extended my hands towards my leg, I tightly grasped my feet and dragged myself towards Marcus.The pain shooting through my feet was excruciating, but somehow I mustered the strength to reach him.Marcus's hand was battered, his bones shattered, and blood gushed out from his broken neck as he struggled to breathe.To stem the bleeding, I applied pressure to his neck wound.With a reassuring tone, I said, "Don't worry, lad... you
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 59 : A shadow of the past
Perspective : Conrad Garnier[Present]My hands stuck, my blade ready, yet I was hesitant to strike. The revelation that they are people who I knew stopped me cold in my tracks.Something deep inside me was stopping me from moving my blade."What was it?" Before I knew it, I was transferred to this world, where everything was slower, that it might as well be stopped.Red mist covered my surroundings, that stench, ohh how it called me?That feeling of cleaving.That ferocity which once lurked within me,The sweet beckoning,"Is it the mist?"."Where am I?".It was when I heard that voice which I never thought, would I hear again."It's been a long time nephew!".As I stood amidst the mist, it began to converge into a singular point, shaping itself into what seemed to be a portal. Gradually, the dense mass transformed into a billowing cloud, emitting crimson fumes as it materialized into the silhouette of a figure—a mysterious red shadow.Which was I all to familiar with?A remnant of a
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 60 : Logic conflicts
Perspective : Conrad GarnierI found solace in Brandon's lack of trustworthiness, which provided me with the necessary leverage to justify my actions, as I tried to deal with our turned comrades.But now that everyone knew, Brandon spoke the truth. there was no denying it. The unmistakable red glow from Emilia's hand, entwined in roots, stripped away my leverage. The others were hesitant to raise their blades, knowing that our allies were concealed within those very roots.Someone had to do what was necessary, and that someone was me.Without a second thought, I charged towards those creatures. The human heart is delicate, unaware of when to give up, oblivious to the obvious. They had to be killed for our survival to endure. I possessed the foresight of what awaited us, unburdened by emotional attachments from the start. My goal was to survive alongside Regina, and I would stop at nothing to do that.With my sword ablaze once more, I swung at those creatures, aiming to decapitate her
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 61 : L'Avventura Temporis: Soteria
Perspective : Conrad GarnierBy just looking at that thing, It was impossible to believe that creature was Emilia. Even though the red hue emanating from her blade was a dead give away.With her body covered in leeches and roots, which caused her to move remarkably slower, her right hand gripping that red blade, which appeared oddly elongated compared to her other hand. This elongated hand was covered in twisting roots, culminating in a sharp point resembling a massive spike. Which emanated a red glow from the crevices between those intertwined roots.And yet, she struck with an eerie grace, that seemed to be hindered by the constraints of her entwined roots, almost like a stringed automaton constrained by an unsettling sense of restriction. With each strike against the Ice wall, a burst of vibrant red energy was unleashed, gradually eroding the strength of the wall, bit by bit.Patrick spoke assertively, saying,"You know what to do".In response, I promptly replied,"Pray it works".
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 62 : Sehnshohl
Perspective : Conrad GarnierIt blinded us. I felt like it was the end. A soundless explosion. As my whole body was frozen in air. I couldn't move an inch, neither could anyone else.The chamber was bathed in a brilliant green light, engulfing everything, as the woman and that colossal hourglass vanished into the ether. The force of the ensuing explosion reverberated through meAnd yet, It didn't hurt.It felt more like a powerful gust of wind, resembling a storm. I stood there frozen and mesmerized, as the roots covering Emilia's body began emanating a vibrant green glow. Gradually, those roots turned into ashes, dissipating into thin air, and uncovering her entire form, that was covered with countless pores oozing blood. Then, something extraordinary occurred—Emilia and all others who had turned started floating in the air. As they levitated, those pores covering their skin vanished, leaving behind rejuvenated skin that seemed reborn.After that, our bodies were released off that my
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 63 : That's all we can do
Perspective : Conrad GarnierWas that creature that terrifying?Or was It something else entirely.Brandon's face turned ashen, his expression filled with terror, as if he had just seen a ghost. He uttered in a trembling voice, "No... nooo... this cannot be." At that moment, a realization dawned upon me, and I was astonished at why it hadn't struck me earlier. With a frantic and fearful tone, Kyle exclaimed, "We still have people unaccounted-for... and that... that must be Marcus."I wasn't afraid because it was one of us.No, the appearance of that creature was what chilled me to my bones.As I shifted my gaze back to the pit, my eyes widened in horror. Gradually, I witnessed its approach—an immense, gargantuan monster. Its size was unfathomable, as it appeared shrouded in a colossal labyrinth of gnarled roots. So much so, that the sheer magnitude of those intertwining roots seemed to create an illusion of countless layers, obscuring Marcus's body inside them. Writhing leeches s

Perspective : Lucius SinclairI still don't know why I did that. I guess I was too bored with the routine ass stuff I did all day.Talking to people bleh !Something new and exciting, just the thought of that, maybe, caused my legs to follow suit.Following the noise I reached the location of its origins.And what I saw?Those two people, that weird women and that man, were facing off with some nasty looking individuals."Wait! I recognised them! I know them"."That insignia"." That's the insignia of the group called 'Serpent's gaze' "."Or am I getting It wrong, No I don't think so".I thought out loud,Percival responded,"Indeed and that person wielding that huge cleaver, I think they call him Baldwin".Surprised that Percival knew of such people, I asked,"You know them"."How?".He responded,"Ah yes ...

Chapter 81 : A knot
Perspective : Lucius SinclairThat was the most idiotic conversation I had ever heard, I thought the guy was dumb then damn, the woman buds in and guess what? she has got nothing on him. She own herself was in a whole new level of stupid.It's like they were caged birds, first time in the open, as if they didn't knew how the world worked. Now, that I think about it, they never did tell me and neither did I bothered asking, but sure as heck they acted like that.Witnessing that, Percival commented, "She is ripping them off."I responded, "Well, I'd say they deserve it."Percival observed their behavior and mentioned, drawing an assumption from it, "Must be new around here."I responded accordingly, confirming his assumption , "You bet, who says room with a view, every room has a view."Then Percival slowly whispered in my ears, his voice filled with hesitation and concern, "Should we intervene?"I responded sternly, my words laced with indifference and detachment, "None of our
Chapter 80 : Stupid World
Perspective : Lucius Sinclair"Violence" is the term ingrained in human nature. I will go as far as to say that's what defines our very being, our stupid self serving ignorant being.Violence is an act often used as a means of last resort, when all our efforts to get through them are useless, that's when violence is utilised and yet it's funny that, it's not used that way, it's never used that way.How utterly stupid, well that's humans I guess, an organism who puts their feelings above all else, an stupid organism who thinks the best way to exist is by becoming a "Cog" in a self serving machine.And yet they forgot to account for the fact that a "Cog" is nary a significant nor a remotely crucial component of a system, well not much crucial when there are so much to go around, how utterly stupid. They forget or simply ignore the fact that they are replaceable, and there are so many of them that replacing isn't even an issue, forget about having spares, it's one thing to have spares an
Chapter 79 : Return Journey - III
"Halt," Ikbal's authoritative voice rang out, slicing through the conversation like a sharp blade. The intensity of his command reverberated through the carts, causing a shiver to run down the spines of those who heard it. As Ikbal firmly tugged on the reins of his horse, the animal let out a startled squeal, bringing the entire convoy to an abrupt stop. Confusion painted the faces of everyone present, their brows furrowing in bewilderment. Spotting Kyle slowly approaching on a separate horse, Ikbal's gaze locked onto him with a mixture of recognition and concern. His words spilled out urgently, the weight of the situation evident in his tone, "Stop.... halt! halt!" Kyle, caught off guard by the sudden halt, arched an eyebrow in confusion. His puzzled expression prompted him to ask, "What happened?" Placing his fingers against his forehead, Ikbal mulled over his response for a moment before replying, his voice tinged with a touch of uncertainty, "My wind magic is picking up on

Ustrax is the name of a legendary dragon who lived in these parts, not the name of the place. At that moment in time, the vessel state of Fasnijan' still existed, before the current Monarchy. However, the area now called the city of Ustrax, along with the snow-covered territory surrounding it, wasn't a part of it. It was an uncharted territory, with no man treading on it for centuries or decades. The frozen tundra was covered with towering trees that blocked sunlight from reaching the undergrowth. It was an area teeming with monsters, and leading them all was the legendary dragon Ustrax.However, after several centuries, during the reign of Edmund the 2nd, King of the 'Sovereign of Fasnijan,' his son-in-law, also known as the 3rd King of the 'Sovereign of Fasnijan' and famously referred to as the 'Adventurer King,' emerged.

Conrad, his body weary and mind heavy from the battle, found himself compelled to spend the night at the monastery. Exhausted, he and the others set up camp, ensuring everyone had a chance to rest by taking turns on guard duty. As dawn broke, he was already awake, Conrad's right hand found solace in the familiar weight of his sword's hilt. His weary breath mingled with a silent sigh as his thoughts whispered, "Now let's return back home." The weariness of battle still clung to his bones, and a longing for the comforts of home echoed in his words. "I just want to go home and sleep in a real bed," Conrad uttered, his voice carrying the weariness accumulated over the past few days. The passing of time felt distorted, as he continued, "Can't believe it's only been a few days. It feels like years already ." The weight of recent events settled upon him, and Conrad contemplated his future. "Probably won't take any new jobs for a while now," he mused silently, contemplating the need
Chapter 75 : Echoes of Distortion
Perspective : Conrad GarnierMy mind a drift, My eyes encapsulated in that Muriel, at that depiction, the way they were presented, the way those pictures were drawn, who knows when? and who knows by whom?, it felt so ethereal, so life like, that I became completely lost in it.It was like, I am living that moment, as if those figures drawn would pop out of that wall, it was exhilarating.Surrounded by un readable text, in the middle of that moss covered Muriel, were the depiction of people or beings that lived long long ago, in this very village which is now lone and deserted, it was all so fascinating.Now, I found myself eager to delve deeper into that knowledge, so I consciously blocked out the conversations of others around me. My mind ventured freely, delving into the enigmatic secrets it sought to unravel. In that moment, I entered a trance-like state, completely oblivious to any external distractions, captivated only by the intriguing drawings and carvings before me. With unwave
Chapter 74 : Remnants long forgotten
Perspective : Conrad GarnierElkdrack's face transformed with a mix of surprise and temporary memory lapse, as he sheepishly admitted, "Ohh, I forgot there for a second. That's the reason I brought you here..." His gaze drifted towards a chest in the corner, a chest that seemed to radiate a certain majestic aura, adorned in what appeared to be metal though time had left its marks—the rusted edges and the curious growth of moss. Elkdrack gestured towards the chest and said, his words brimming with anticipation, "That chest over there contains your share of the treasure." With a blend of excitement and remorse, he proceeded to explain the origins of the treasure, his voice tinged with a mix of nostalgia and regret, "When we first entered this place, the altar was buried amidst a mound of gleaming gold coins, alongside an array of mysterious artifacts." He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his revelations sink in, before continuing, "Everyone took their share, and yours..
