Chapter 12- Slaughter

Dark thoughts were swirling around Vectre’s mind. This hate inside of him was growing and so was the darkness. But there was nothing he could do now. His body wouldn’t listen to him. It felt like his body craved this. Craved this darkness, longed for it. It commands to him to desire chaos, destruction and to tear anyone apart.

After following the red orc for fifteen minutes. He had finally arrived at their encampment. He wasn’t surprised to see all those orc’s, goblins and what looks like a bigger version of an orc. Must be an ogre Vectre surmised.

As if in a trance, he walked towards them like a zombie. Thoughts of killing and bathing in the blood of his enemies blood grew stronger and stronger. Blood lust lust was oozing out of him.

The once laughing group of monsters stop their jesting and teasing of the red orc called Dovah for being so terrified at a child.

After feeling that blood lust that the boy was giving out. They knew the angel of death has come.

“STOP! WHO ARE YOU? AND WHAT QUARREL DO YOU HAVE WITH US?” shouted Gamura the chief of this encampment.

Not answering. Vectre kept walking towards them in a daze. Sword fragments that looked like sword petals were swirling around him and both the orcs and their chief looked in awe and wonder at the beautiful petals surrounding him. All except for Dovah who knew those swords petals will bring their oncoming doom.

Chief Gamura seeing the severity of the situation step forward and came to meet with the devil himself. 

Raising his fist. He punched the ground causing it to shake and a line of stones went towards Vectre’s direction and erupting at his feet. But Vectre simply flew up and commanded the sword fragments to rush towards the ogre

.

Gamura then covered himself rocks that acts like an armour. And simply charged at Vectre.

Vectre merely smirked and commanded the sword fragments to form into a giant sword. It flew towards the charging chief and immediately pierced his armour and his body. The sword then dispersed inside of him and it exited out of his body in different directions.

The speed of the sword was so fast that he didn’t even realised he was injured until he was coughing up blood.

Chied Gamura looked at his body and see that he was covered in thousands of holes. Green blood was oozing out of them and huge hole was in his chest.

His subordinates at the scene in shock. They couldn’t believe what just happened. Their chief was just defeated in a blink of an eye.

Dovah seeing what happened couldn’t help but fall into despair. He knew they were all going to die. He curled up into a ball and lay there with dead eyes. He knew there was no point of running. Death was coming to them. It was coming to them all.

Dovah had a dream once. To roam the world with his brother, conquering kingdoms. Having sex with all the beautiful women

. 

They were all going to accomplish that, together with their King.

“Why? We just wanted to live? Why do all the other’s get all the nice things, while all us monsters are hated and are forced to live like scavengers.” He cried out into the heavens, cursing his faith.

“Brother. I’ll see you soon.” He whispered.

As if hearing his last words. Vectre came down on the rest of the remaining monsters and slaughtered them all. While laughing maniacally.

Seeing all the bodies’ shredded and green blood covered the floor. He noticed a movement back at one of the caves where the monsters lived.

Vectre walked towards the direction where he felt the presence of a living being. Senbonzakura now back in his sword form.

In the cave Vectre saw a lot of women, covered in rags and they were staring at him in surprised. Fear was etched in their eyes and Vectre merely smiled at them. Raising his zanpukuto, he was about to start killing them when one of them screamed.

“STOP!! Don’t kill us.” Cried out one of the women. As if breaking out of the trance, Vectre gasped in shock. He looked at himself, the sword in his hands that was about to take the life of those women and looked behind him and see the carnage that he caused.

Vectre was trembling. He was absolutely terrified. Everything that happened, everything that he’s done. He remembered them all.

Dropping his zanpukuto. He shivered and howled in pain at the sky.

Sudden realisation dawned on him. And it chilled his core. 

“I am the monster.” He whispered.

Suddenly a dark cold voice resounded in his head.

“So do you finally remember Vectre or should I say Lucifer the angel of death.”

“W—who… who are you?” asked Vectre in a trembling voice.

“You. I’m you Oh fallen one.” Came the calm reply.

“What?” asked Vectre.

“We used to be one but after the tragedy that has fallen on your favourite human. You went a bit ape shit and decided that humans were better off instinct. Not able to handle the pain of losing her, you went on mass genocide in order to forget but you see the pain can never be forgotten. It was always inside of you. Hate, Anger and loneliness it was growing stronger and stronger. I was created because you couldn’t handle the pain. It was a way of protecting  yourself. To cope with the hole that she left behind in your heart. Oh you were so utterly broken that your mind snapped and after a while you started to get addicted at causing suffering. At first you went to seek revenge at the cult that sacrificed her but in the end you wiped ninety percent of the human race. The human’s called you Lucifer the angel of death” Laughed the dark voice inside Vectre’s head.

Information and images suddenly surged in Vectre’s head causing him to scream and gasped in pain.

He finally remembered the girl that made him whole. Made him feel human. Vectre now knew he wasn’t human, he never knew how he came to be, but as long as he remembers, he always existed. Centuries after centuries he walked the earth.

Until one day a girl with a simple status found him collapse in the forest and took him in. From that day on, his life had more colour, had a bit more meaning. She made him feel whole. The loneliness that always accompanied him was gone, instead her laughter filled the void in his heart.

Just like it came, his happiness was snuffed out.

Remembering her broken body, her lifeless eyes. The thought of not being able to hear her laughter again. Filled Vectre with unimaginable pain and grief. What followed after that was anger.

Oh he misses his human. She taught him many things. She recommended watching anime, reading light novels. How to laugh, how to have fun.

“Why now?” asked Vectre.

“Hmm?” answered the dark voice.

“Why have you only come out now?” Vectre clarified.

“There was another soul you see. Preventing me from contacting you. A troublesome soul really. But you don’t have to worry about that. He’s gone now. Took me awhile but the original occupant is now KAPUFF!! Gone! He went bye bye.” Laughed the dark voice inside his head maniacally. As if he found the whole ordeal utterly amusing.

“Do you know why I am alive again? I thought I destroyed and scattered my soul.” Asked Vectre.

“Oh you did. After wiping out so many humans. You thoughts that it would make you happy, make you forget but no that wasn’t the case at all. With each passing day. The reality of her death became too much for you to accept. So you decided to stop you ever so holy mission and decided to commit suicide and scatter your soul. But because of the desire to meet her, to be with her lingered strongly in your soul. You’re scattered soul reformed and went to where she is.” Answered the dark voice, amusingly.
