----------------------------------------
"Welcome Dear Heroe- Guhhfff?!"
I literally immediately punched the abdomen of the object of hatred in front of me. The Other people that I was supposed to be with at the start stared at me like I am mad. The guards Grabbed their weapons and readied themselves to interfere yet the girl I just punched Raised a hand to stop them.
Some priests at the back chanted some incantations and a green light covered the girl after a while and relaxing her expression.
Though to be honest, I literally didn't understand. If why Even if I didn't have any reinforcement magic, or any buff magic, She could just take the blow directly just like that. I kinda want to stab her too but oh well.
"Hey Zell! What on earth are you doing suddenly hurting someone like that!"(Mark)
"Yeah! Did you get some kind of bump in your head or something?!"(Cyrus)
Said the two idiots behind me. The Black haired girl, Sophia seemed to just be in some kind of shock. It is kind of surprising to see someone just suddenly attack I suppose.
For now, while the two idiots, The bitch, the assholes and the sitting pretty shocked whore are just glaring at the moment, I just
Check and remember the familiar surrounding area, while also trying to remember my last memories. As I do so, I notice a lot of different things so I can say that my memories are legit.
The chandelier, the floor designs, the clothes, the positions, the Gate behind me closing, the Princess's attire, the guards, And even the damn temperature and weather. Its too similar to that day.
I also check my clothing at the moment and I realize that this is the white uniform with a jacket tied on my waist that I had when I was summoned by this world.
It was the school uniform that I, Zell Zafters is wearing.
"Y-You bastard! What did you just do?!"(knight)
"Even if you are the hero, you can't just harm the princess!"(knight 2)
Their killing intent flowed at the moment they said those words. They must have thought that I am inexperienced in fighting which is why their killing intent is like a soft breeze.w
I ignore these idiots as I check my abdomen with my right Hand. After a while of Touching, rubbing, and pinching my cheek, I realize one thing at last.
"I am alive."(Zell)
Exactly. I lived. All those memories washing down to my head, all of them must be true then.
I stare at the bitch on the floor. I step on her waist as hard as I could while I ask.
"Hey bitch, What era and date is it today?!"(Zell)
"W-what? B-but how will you understa-"(Bitch)
I kick her waist once again as she refused me.
"JUST ANSWER ME!"(Zell)
"Gooohff!- I-Its the era of the Dragon and the Date is 700, 12th day of the Month of Aries lord H-hero."
I see... Then It is true then. I did return to the past...
But still, I expected myself to use the standard time travel but to think it will be time leap huh? With this information, I can say for sure that the events that happened with the future me seems to be real. After all, if it is not then I should be able to see something different in here but the start of my day here is just so similar. I can never forget this day. The day where I chose the wrong decision. But this time, I can change my destiny. I will make sure that I'll live differently this time. I will make sure of it.
Though with that said, I have to get a way to get out of this place first.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Which is after I humiliate these son of a bitches that is.
And so after a while, the knights points their sword at me, apparently, I was quite lost in my thoughts eh? The knight with the fully holds armor at front suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
"Are you listening to us you bastard?!"(Knight)
"Hm? Not really."(Zell)
"Wh?! You?!"(Knight)
Like a slap to their face, the annoying knight's pride got damaged with a half-assed answer. His hostility turned into a real bloodlust and at this moment, he points his sword at me.
On the contrary, that serious bloodlust that turned to me is like a soft warmth at the moment.
While they are thinking that I am not that strong thanks to my half-assed answer, I immediately kicked the floor to get towards him.
"!!"(knight)
Without giving him time to react, I immediately ducked as he tried to slash horizontally. Afterwards, I sweeped kicked his feet so that he will lose his balance and the moment he fell and lost the grasp for his sword, I take it while it's in midair and slashed the elbow joint on his left arm that holds his shield upwards vertically.
Afterwards, I use my right foot as I twist my whole body on a counter-clockwise and my elbow hitting his neck on the left side, Throwing him off a whole lot of distance.
I was summoned as a hero for 3 years.
After accidentally killing the demon lord by myself, gaining all the credit. I was chased for more than half a year, due to the glory being stolen by a weak alchemist, and due to the fact that I was thought to have been possessed by the demon lord afterwards.
If one is not accustomed to fatal blows and hesitates, they will not live that long.
Furthermore, the people had stopped moving on the unexpected scene. The guy who came at me slammed into the wall, with a partially crushed windpipe, and was now foaming at the mouth. His body loosened, his right arm which is now a stump is bleeding badly and he was stumbling.
"Hm? His neck was not blown off? Did he had some sort of strengthening magic? I didn't feel anything of that sort though... Oh, yeah that's right, I didn't have my usual arm anymore. Such a shame really. Well he should be unconscious for over a month thanks to that."(Zel)
A Dead silence covers the room and only my voice is heard.
No matter how skilled or strong he was, even though he seemed like some kind of expert, a surprise attack will still defeat him. Rather, anyone can kill even if they are weak. Just like how anyone can rip off anyone skin if they just pinch it hard enough and pull it afterwards, or by tearing his jaws out by digging the nails in the cheeks and pulling a person's lower jaw and upper jaw apart, or by simply pulling a persons eyeballs and simply crushing them in an instant.
We only needed to take away such hesitations within our mind to complete such tasks after all.
Anyway, His neck is supposed to be broken and twisted with a crunch but in reality, that doesn't seemed to be the case here.
"R-Radil?!"(Knights)
In a few seconds, the knights broke out of their petrified state and gathered near the fallen knight. They hastily chanted a recovery spell and doused an intermediate healing potion on the fallen knight's throat.
"W-was there something that was unsatisfactory to you, O-Our dear... He...ro?"(Princess)
The Princess barely got those words out, as she was recovering from vomiting with a pale blue face that reached her ears. She was intimidated when the bloodlust that I leaked involuntarily filled the room.
With a pale face and somewhat recovered, the princess barely muttered those words. Hearing her caused my bloodlust to unintentionally leak out, intimidating every person in here.
"You can call it something like that, Alexia. As expected of a princess. I don't like just about everything about you, that voice, those eyes, that figure, that attitude, I don't like it at all. I felt sick just from hearing those words from your mouth.」
"H-Hey, Z-Zell... W-what's going on exactly?"(Cyrus)
"Y-yes... M-Mr. Zell, W-what's wrong?"(Krista)
Said the two behind the princess. Apparently, they are all mostly filled with fear at the moment. Well, I am amazed at mark though. He can still have the guts to actually put up a palm to look like as if to protect the two as he glares at me. Bravo mark. Bravo. Good thing you are smart enough to just stay silent eh?
A knight felt an overwhelming sense of danger and whipped his trembling body to action. He swapped positions with the princess in order to protect her, but little did he know that it was useless.
For I never hesitate.
And before my thoughts can think, my instinct moved as I kicked the ground once again, my body slipping through the knights swiftly yet silently. The sword earlier now slashing his head horizontally with great precision and as I twisted my body once again as I kicked him with a back kick, throwing his body to the walls while creating a small crater on impact.
Despite the normal strength I have, all I need is a simple precised movement to finish things. To hit every critical point precisely. For even weak people can kill the strong.
"Kyaarghhh! Uggu~... Kku~..."(knight)
"I was but an innocent man who was selfishly summoned, forced into the role of a hero, yet was made into the Weakest. If I defeat the Demon Lord again, all that's waiting for me is to be blamed for crimes I did not do, and be betrayed and laughed at."(Zell)
"W-what do you mean? Haaah... Haaahh... Wh-what do y-you mean exactly?"(Alexia)
Its very clear to me, I will never forget it.
It was thanks to me being weak yet believing to people that made such things happen.
It was at the final battle against the demon lord.
In order to save my dying friends(?) I, killed the demon lord. However, the empire thought of that as 'stealing the kill'. For they have also thought of such opportunity to rise in fame and glory thanks to the fact that they have summoned us four.
As soon as the Demon Lord was defeated, the world will turn inside out.
The Saints recognized me as the world's enemy, and the kingdom confirmed it. And all of the crimes committed behind the scenes were blamed unto me.
Companions who had fought alongside me, friends who I thought shared a close bond with, all of them will betray me without exception.
Without a doubt, the same guys I saved with just a single cry for help would betray me, will throw stones at me, insult me and spit on me.
This princess was also one of those people.
After I defeat the Demon Lord, the world would become my enemy, and all my allies will disappear.
Among them, the princess will pretend to be an ally. She approaches me saying "I'll help you" and "I'll give you shelter".
Life as a fugitive can get tiring. These dramatic changes can get so exhausting that I easily believed those words of help. Only to then get betrayed and laughed at.
While saying that it was a safe place, I was taken to a teleportation gem, where I can use magic to get in, but not to get out. It was a trap room inside a dungeon.
And when I had barely escaped with my life, I had serious injuries that took a considerable time to heal.
"Heh, Apparently, You still don't know but your intentions princess! Your intentions! They show everything that you are! You are nothing that is a princess but you are a pig wearing a Human's skin."(Zell)
"Really, I don't know what you're..."(Alexia)
They treated me like an idiot. And the truth was that I was an idiot.
I would've noticed if I had assessed her properly, that she was hiding her enmity of me. If I had just abandoned the word 'believe', then this never would have happened.
Anyhow, I can clearly feel the malice hidden within the princess's heart now. It is clear even though she seems in pain and confused.
Slight gestures, eye-contact, the breathing pattern, the change in expressions.
The fact that she can't look directly, her breathing seemed rough, her face showing confusion as if a plan has failed, her movement and her feet that would love to run away right now.
These are the ways I gain information to predict the thoughts and moves of my opponents in combat. You can never conceal ill-will from me.
"Sigh-, you truly have thick mask under your skin. Well, It's great that this happened I suppose. Having started a new beginning is kind of exciting for me~"(Zell)
Ah, I let out my voice unintentionally.
"Well, I now have got to this point so no matter what it takes, I swear..."(Zell)
My voice started to overflow with delight, my expression broke out into euphoria very quickly, then my heart started to beat faster causing my arm to brim with excitement and act rashly.
At that moment, My dominant arm moved in a fast speed in which immediately wrapped around her neck. My hand silently crushing her windpipe slowly but surely.
"Aa...... Ugguhk......"
Then, the animosity from the princess withered rapidly.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
I released my hold and the grip I had on her neck loosened. She landed on her rear, looking at me with eyes filled with fear. My figure reflected in her eyes and my expression was certainly distorted and disturbing.
But, it's good. It's all good.
I wanted to live in this beautiful world forever. Because it's a world where oneself can become a hero.
But, the ending result of this world was to be betrayed and framed as a criminal. Becoming a laughing stock.
I was of course pure, but not anymore. I was already broken a long time ago.
I swear, I will have revenge.
The face I must've shown to the others must be one filled with insanity, it must counter their idea of honor.
"P-Please... H-help..."(Alexia)
"Detestable scum. Suffer as much as possible Alexia."(Zell)
And thus I bent my knees on her abdomen and started to beat her face up. Again and again and again and again and again until I can feel my hands going sore.
Left, right, left, right... I hit her face until her conscious withered and her face numbed. I hit her so she can suffer as much pain as possible.
"You bastard?! Gyaa?!"(Knights)
"Ghuunk?!"(Alexia)
"Here, Here, Here, Here, Here~!!!, Your important princess is being beaten to a pulp, can't you do anything about it? Huh!?"(Zell)
Caught in the moment where the princess was being clobbered, The knights finally moved and sprung into action, I was encircled by 5, no, 6 knights, this much doesn't matter to me though.
I drove my elbow into the joint in the leg of a knight, destroying his center of gravity. I then applied pressure to inflict as much pain as possible, the bone was then twisted and broken. I then proceeded to gouge his eyes, crush his ear, and rip his nose into pieces.
"Ahaha... AHAHAHAHA!!"(Zell)
As usual, my body felt heavy, However, there is no need for me to go all out on them.
Rather, I feel like these people are not worthy for my all out power. I also don't want to just simply kill.
I want revenge.
I want them to suffer.
I want them to suffer as much as they possibly can.
If I can't, my heart will never know peace.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"(Zell)
Their screams of pain and fear were like music to my ears, this sensation can't be stopped... it feels too good.
The voice doesn't stop, it wants to torment them until the point of death. If they ever faint, I can just inflict more pain until they wake up again.
The students just gazes with fear, as I brutally take out every opponent's senses and body parts. Their movements shaking as they stop to even consider to move.
It certainly was hell for the students.
It certainly was hell for the priests.
It certainly was hell for the knights.
It most certainly was hell for the princess.
For me, this was the paradise where all my wishes came true.
The laughter never ends. It will never end.
The screaming never stops. It will never stop.
========================================================
"Aa... ugh, gaah..."
"Higguu... Gguukk, Aagh..."
After a few minutes, the room wasn't filled with words but moans. When her reaction didn't please me anymore no matter what I did, I stopped.
Her face was so disfigured that you wouldn't know who it was upfront. All of her fingers were broken, pointing at odd directions.
Finally, when she couldn't handle anymore beating, she curled up and foamed from her mouth.
"Well then, shall we do it again?"(Zell)
My desire for revenge isn't going to be quelled with just this, but if she's not showing any reaction or whatsoever from the torture, it'll be meaningless.
When I regained my composure after acting violently, I threaten a nearby priest who literally is shitting on the side to heal her with healing magic, which he obediently and fearfully follows.
However, it's not an instant recovery. So in the meantime, I will recollect my thoughts as I stab a small knife which I took from a knight earlier to her abdomen. The priest hastily heals her but with useless effort.
For now, I must plan something for the future events. I can already guess that the reason why my body seemed heavy is due to the amount of mana taken from the time travel. Still, that shouldn't hinder me at most as long as possible until I can find a place to rest.
Though with that said, I will have to check my strength for now to make sure my safety here.
"Status Window: Open"(Zell)
As if adhering to my voice, a pale semi-transparent board; the status window, emerged.
In there was a list of the attributes of the person who called it. Without using some type of appraisal, skill or magic, they wouldn't be able to see it except me.
In there was amazing information written inside.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Seeing such a spectacle, I merely sighed as I closed the window. It appears that all my stats have been deserted back to a level 1. Also, It means I'll have to focus on levelling up once again just to defeat this castle's main guard. Sigh~ Well, considering the fact that I returned in time, this should be normal so I can't do anything about that.
Again, to the point of dropping tears, this time, she had passed what she can tolerate, together with the irritation and anxiety, her emotions were going in circles.
While pretending to be unconscious, she attempted to chant a spell from her mouth, so I kicked her to interrupt it.
"Gyaaaaaa!?"(Alexia)
"You really do like surprise attacks, Alexia. For what purpose do you think did I tell the priest to heal you? Don't die before I give you a beating."(Zell)
It seems like that was a low-grade fireball, but because it was in an incomplete state, the fireball exploded inside the mouth of the princess.
Surely, the inside of her mouth had become something very serious, so serious that it feels great.
Although I won't say it, I want you to oppose me with every being that you have except killing yourself.
Seeing Princess Alexia self-destructing, it's very fun. It's very pleasant.
As I thought, taking vengeance for myself is refreshing. Its like being on a summer trip on a famous resort or something. Well, instead the sea is blood though.
"H~m, what to do..."(Zell)
"Y-You bastard?!?!"(Cyrus and Mark)
"Y-you monster?!"(Krista)
Him? Oh, they're still actually here? Damn, it's easy to forget people when you are enjoying huh?
As the students run to me with their fists up, I kick the ground once again until I approach mark and so I punch his abdomen while his guard is low from the surprise attack. As he falls, I use my right leg as I do a roundhouse kick on Cyrus's head, which blows him away to the wall while I kick a side kick on Krista's chest, taking him out too.
Oh, by the way, such a thing happened in a span of 2.4 seconds.
As I return to the princess's side, I whistle with my lips as I step on her stomach as hard as I could.
"Guahkk... Gau...vuaahh..."(Alexia)
For now, I'm pressing my bored feet against her stomach while she glares me intensely. Enjoying the disfigured appearance and voice of Princess Alexia.
Now that I knocked out those idiots, let me return to my thoughts once again.
However now that I think about it, This is quite a new thing huh? Its like going through a 'Tutorial mode' first and in which I experience thousands of pain for me to get to the main mode.
Which means that I was just given a chance. A chance that can rarely happen. I half expected it myself to be able to tear through space and time. If there is one logical piece that will complete the puzzle, It will be this.
A God has let me open the dimension gate.
It might seemed like someone has plans for me for future events.
...Even so.
"Kuhaha..."(Zell)
Yes, let's be thankful.
Now, I can finish my revenge that I swore that time.
"KUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"(Zell)
My laughter doesn't stop, I'm not in the mood to stop.
At first, I never imagined that there would be another opportunity.
At first when I activated it, I thought I will fail. Because the chances of it is no more than 1 out of 100.
Yet here I am, now with my soul seemed to have transported in time instead back to this young body. This body that seemed to have memories instead of all the pain I endured.
Even so, my yearning for vengeance, and the hatred that I embraced in my heart, is not a lie.
By experiencing it personally, bit by bit, I started to get excited. A shiver of delight is travelling through my body, and doesn't stop.
This is not a dream, nor is there a time limit. I can now finish my vengeance, I can kill them.
After laughing for a while, now I can begin to think clearly.
What I'm going to do, from where should I start.
Even right now I want to crush those people, everyone of them.
At my feet, there is one of them, a target (of my vengeance).
Her mouth is being burned right now by her own fireball, and for the many times that I stepped on her, the dress that she's wearing right now is worn out and dirty.
She finally understood that it's meaningless to oppose me or being obedient. That she can do naught but glare at me with hate.
Yes, this. This is it. I want revenge.
If I let my impulse control me, then I can deprive them of their lives easily.
If my level has decreased, then like me, their level had too, right?
I have on me the knowledge I gained and the experience from the tutorial mode.
Although I lost my skills as abilities, I didn't lose the technique to control them with my body.
Despite my low-level, or rather, despite any level at all, anyone cam be killed if a move will be executed with great precision. And thanks to such information, I can at least kill people up until the level 50 status, and in my surroundings, there are still the knights who don't seem to have experience combat; if there are only 10 knights or less then I can entertain them with no problem.
If I hide for awhile while raising my level, then I can go around assassinating those damn bastards before I strengthen myself and leave for a trip.
"It's not good. That way it's not good, because otherwise..."(Zell)
I suffered for more than a year.
While my heart is screaming and cracking, the broken pieces that had fallen are now reconstituting themselves over my desire for vengeance.
The time that passed, a thing was growing up, clinging to me, it was like a muddy viscosity, a lump of heat, telling me that it wasn't going be satisfied with only killing, yelling that it was unforgivable.
Although it was unpleasant to see her face, only this was not enough.
So, I'm not going to kill her yet.
So, it's not going to finish here.
Let's think slowly, I have time, so I don't have to hurry myself when killing her.
I have to let her experience the pain, the painful memories, I have to drown her in a toxic swamp of remorse and agony.
More, more, more, it's necessary for her to suffer more.
Because then, my first vengeance will be completed.
"Aah, I'm not going to kill you right now. Since I have made it so that you will be healed you with great difficulty, right? Even though I have thought of many ways to kill you."(Zell)
I let out a sigh unintentionally. It's very regrettable.
I thought about several things, like letting a small and carnivorous insect eat her body while she was conscious, like having her germinate a seed together with the grown up host, turning it into a tree, eliminating all sensations and leaving only the ability to think.
Either way, it seems that these ideas can only be achieved with proper items and preparation, so it can't be helped.
For now, I need time.
Slowly and carefully, I need to start the preparations for my vengeance.
Of course, I have to enjoy the preparation.
"First off..."(Zell)
I healed roughly inside her mouth with an intermediate healing potion (which I got from a random knight that I ripped away each limbs earlier) to an extent that enabled the princess' ability to speak.
"Hey, there is something that I want to ask you."(Zell)
"......Who is going to listen a request from a monster like you?"(Alexia)
Really, she is a good target for my vengeance, the princess Alexia.
"Pfft, Ahahahaa"(Zell)
"Wh- What's so funny!?"(Alexia)
"You know, you react exactly like I was hoping. Never lose those feelings, because if not, my vengeance is going to be boring. Also, you're quite lucky that those supposed to be 'heroes' are right now knocked out or else you could have lost quite an annoying trio."(Zell)
Yeah, now that I think about it, I was chased a lot by those guys. I wonder myself why I didn't just kill them right now. Either way it will be more interesting with these people.
While I am looking down, grinning and laughing, Princess Alexia is again looking at me with more hostility in her eyes.
"This, lunatic!! Why! Just what the heck did I do..."(Alexia)
"What you did, although you don't know, I know. I know the pain of being betrayed. I know the pain of being tricked. I know what it's like to be treated like a fool. I remember all the pain I felt for trusting all of you like an idiot. I remember everything, Princess Alexia Aureola」
"Uu, guu..."(Alexia)
A glance full of hatred like burning magma and a cold voice like a shining blade.
Maybe the princess didn't understand the meaning of my words, but she did perceive that I really hate her.
"Now, we are going to talk again, but I have a request."
Pa-, my hand faced the princess.
With no sign of her previous state, she makes a perfect smile.
"If you are not going to listen, it can't be helped, right? It makes me sad that despite the fact that I healed your mouth for that purpose, but if you don't want to, it can't be helped, right?"(Zell)
As expected? I don't know anything, I never had a thought about opposing you ? Such a thought is most probably in Alexia's mind right now.
"Wh-What are you...?"(Alexia)
It appears to be that until just now, more than being perplexed, her anxiety has been rising. She has good intuition.
"Fumu, your chest is going to be an obstacle for writing."(Zell)
"Kyaa!? St-stop it!!"(Alexia)
When I sent her flying with a kick, she ended up face down, and I tore to pieces the back of her dress, exposing her back.
"But you know what, the first time I saw you, I thought I saw a beautiful girl, but now I don't feel anything at all. It's strange, isn't it?"(Zell)
Her radiant silver hair that hangs to her shoulder, her gold eyes, her well-featured face and good proportions, all of that makes her look like a doll.
Just like a template, the so-called beauty of the Aureola, a beautiful girl.
When seeing this world for first time, the girls here were more beautiful than in modern Japan, and spying them accidentally when they were changing made my heart skip a beat.
But apart from that, seeing their appearance very close, it didn't make my heart jump or move.
"Snatching by force the chastity of a woman... As I suspected, the people of another world are savage and vulgar beasts..."(Alexia)
"Huh? What are you saying? With an ugly personality of course I'm going to refuse, don't get confused. Your self-confidence is disgusting. Also, even if people will force me, I can't get hard from you either way."
When imagining what I said, it really makes me sick to the point of vomiting.
"Wha...!!"(Alexia)
"If you say that you are not going to listen to my request, then I have to write a letter instead of a verbal message."(Zell)
"...It, It can't, be!"(Alexia)
"You see, a verbal message would have been easier, right? But if you don't listen to my request, then it can't be helped, so what I have to do is to write a nice letter."(Zell)
I gave her a cheerful smile, indicating that she guessed right about what I'm going to do.
"Now, can you please stay still? If not, I'm not going to be able to write a nice letter."(Alexia
"No, Igyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"(Alexia)
With the little mana I have left, I use my 'wielding skill' on the small knife, making it glow red with a heat burning one's skin.
A skill that let's me turn heat something into a heat of 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. It enables me to do anything to the item affected. Either mold it into a new form or use it to cut easily or use it to wield on metals and etc etc.
So to say, it is quite the useful skill for me. However, this is not good in actual battles which makes the alchemist class weak.
However, this skill is quite useful this time, this skill could only cause a small fire the first time, so now for this use, it is suitable.
"Fun, fu~fufu~n♪"(Zell)
"Ugya, gyaaa, it's hooot!! Sto, stoooop!!"(Alexia)
In the meanwhile, I'm singing a nursery rhyme while carving the letter with fire on her back.
"When you're happy and you know it, Burn her back~,
When you're happy and you know it, Write on her back~,
When you're happy and you know it and your face just really shows it,
When you're happy and you know it just fuck up her back~"(Zell)
"Somebody, somebody heeelp mee..."
"Ahaha, nobody is going to help you, like how you had planned every trick, and so that that doesn't happen, I crushed everyone here."(Zell)
Although Alexia is stretching her hand to the knights who are groaning, everyone here have the joints of the elbow and knee facing the opposite direction, so they cannot move. Although they didn't lose their consciousness, surely the voice of the princess didn't reached them, thanks to the cries of their own pain when they try to lifting their body.
"Come on, come on, I still hadn't finished writing even half. After all, I have to think carefully about what I'm going to do. Can you please stop moving?"(Zell)
I laughed with a smile while I said that.
========================================================
When I finished writing the letter, it put me in a pleasant mood, like being given a gold star, as if everyone else in this room was gone.
The Princess was groaning in the agony of her crushed limbs. And yet, I didn't stop inflicting more pain until she couldn't stand it and lost consciousness for a short while.
Similarly, the knights were groaning due to the extreme amount of pain, and before long, the number of those that couldn't withstand the pain increased, about to let go of their consciousness.
The result, they felt like their heads were afloat and their eyes were like that of a dead fish's; whether they have fainted or not, their resonating moans have died down.
"Ara? This feeling, it also has been a long time."(Zell)
Having completed my work, I got up and noticed that my vision was disoriented. It was evident that my MP had sharply depleted.
When writing my message on Alexia with my 'Wielding skill', I wasted 15 Mp which makes my already low, depleted man's into lower in value. Dang, thankfully, The Wielding skill lasts for about 1 hour though so it's still fair for me considering the fact that I wrote the message for 30 minutes.

As it was confirmed, the remaining MP decreased until its at 22 Mp left.
If I don't acquire recovery and consumption reduction skills again, I can't fight like I did before. Should I just raise my level ahead of time or something after all?
"Hmm... Err... Well then. Guess it's about time to go?"(Zell)
Since I'm about done here anyway, I'll for now slip out of the castle for now and go to the nearest town, then I'll make some preparation to leave the town.
"......It's useless, you can't escape this castle."(Zell)
"Eh, did she regain her consciousness?"
"More than 500 knights are stationed in this castle. You will be tortured to death."
With damage and recovery skills forcibly applied simultaneously, her bodily senses were paralyzed temporarily. Princess Alexia's voice has become hoarse with the pain.
Because her eyes had strength that belittles me, I realized that she returned back the hostility.
As expected, was it the nature of the princess to have such determination even when I had tormented her that much? She also was still confused, and half of it is probably just a false bravado, but if she's given some time to really recover, I can have more fun. I am in a very good mood.
Princess Alexia, who was looking at me as I pondered in silence, shouted at me whilst thinking she still had the upper hand.
"The fact is that you savage people from another world are so full of yourselves. Ee~, I will not let you off so easily; I will kill you in a way several times more painful and humiliating than that I had suffered from."(Alexia)
Her gaze was filled with glittering heat of hatred.
This is what I wanted. That glare can only be achieved after having recognized that she got rekt.
That glare made her realize that it's possible to push down the pain, disgrace and humiliation to the bottom.
However......
"Well~, if you don't cry, cling and beg for forgiveness, then I cannot help you. Since the likes of you, a hero, can also be useful, then if you make an oath in front of our people as a glorious hero, would you honor the oath and swear allegiance?"(Alexia)
Sigh-, such a spoiled child; I was being looked down on as if she was convinced that she was superior with that look and words.
I looked at the princess, and as for me.
"HAAAaaaAAAAAAhhh~........."(Zell)
From the bottom of my heart, I was truly disappointed; I outrageously heaved an exasperated sigh.
Before, I was naïve and easily deceived, and it saddens and depresses me.
I had no intention of doing it, but even if I cried, clung to her and begged for forgiveness, this princess wouldn't help me. She just wanted to confirm her dominance by seeing my pitiful figure, and either way, after she uses of me, I could easily see that she was brimming with the intention to kill me at the end of torture.
An easy-to-handle heroine, or referred to as a damsel in distress, and the stupidity of me who thinks like I am some sort of prince charming.
And again, this much pain still didn't sate my thirst for vengeance at all.
Even though she had thoughts of 'using me', I still won't be satisfied with ending it by killing her. In that case, it would be no good.
She still has her uses to consider; however, if I don't kill these people after they looked down on me, and others like this fellow that wanted to trample over me, completely by my own hand, my desire for revenge surely won't be satisfied.
There are several enemies to take revenge on; in order to accomplish a satisfying revenge, it will take a lot of labor and time with one person at a time.
(Well, isn't that nice, I can enjoy this revenge for as long as I can!!)
Imagining that moment, the edge of my mouth perked up unintentionally.
"Wh- What's with that reaction! If you think I'm lying about the knights..."(Alexia)
"Meh, I didn't particularly think it was a lie. The Hero summoning is a secret and must be kept as such, so as ordered, there are layers of soundproofing barriers, magical barriers, and physical barriers set up; so until the hero summoning is a success, there will be no knights from the outside entering this building."(Zell)
"Why do you?!"(Alexia)
"It's because I've heard it once before~............"(Zell)
While the stupid-looking princess stared in shock, I recalled the story I heard at the first summon.
"Uhh, so yeah, I'll be going."(Zell)
The candlesticks were put up on the pillars in preparation for the summoning, and I threw them aside.
Then, one of the stone pavements at the end summoning rattled and opened, which from there appeared a staircase leading to an underground passageway.
"N- Nobody knows about that hidden passage except from the direct descendants of the Royal Family, and yet why!!?"(Zell)
"Because I am lord voldemort Muggle, and Lord voldemort Always knows...."(Zell)
I jokes around and so it seemed like the princess knows that as well.
To deceive me, Princess Alexia also prepared teleportation magic squares beneath the summoning to entrap me; Princess Alexia also told me this secret path.
"Dangerous, I forgot this place was dangerous."(Zell)
Perhaps because I was able to satisfy a little of my revenge as prelude, I must have almost forgotten about this place.
As I was walking briskly, a nearby knight groans as he rolls like an object on the floor.
"At first, I was going to crush you with my bare hands, however, someone taught me a valuable method to smash that splendid throat at this angle, wonder if it is possible to do? Although using MP will be unreliable, if it's only by using the still working, Wield-Enhanced knife... then I could probably manage.~"(Zell)
So as I said, I use my mana as I manipulate it and create a small man's ball at the tip of the knife, afterwards, I let my wield affect the mana which in turn create a mini fireball the size of a pingpong ball. Afterwards, I threw it in the knight's mouth and made it burst.
"￠￡％＃＆□△◆■!?"
Because there was no need for him to die, the power was narrowed down to the limit, but there was no scream from the Knight, since his mouth and throat was directly burnt by the fire.
"Oopsie Daisy~"(Zell)
I say so as I make a cute(?) Pose.
When I dealt the same treatment to the other Knights ensuingly, it became impossible for the Knights to even groan.
"Lastly, you, Alesia. Since it will take a while until we meet again, do you have anything you want to say?"(Zell)
".............., Your name, tell me your name."(Alexia)
"Hm? Isn't voldemort already?"(Zell)
"Don't joke with me you bastard! Just say it already!"(Alexia)
Dang, this girl must haven't heard what the students have called me earlier. Well, I suppose I gotta do it though huh?
"Nah~ after this though, there shouldn't be any reason to try hiding my name. Since my name is written....in the letter."
"My name before I came into this world, I was one called Zell. However, When I appeared into this world, I have changed. I have gained the strength of a thousands gods, the mind of a hundreds sage and the hatred of the monster of the underworld."(Zell)
Woosh~ , the fireball was thrown in the mouth of the Princess.
"I will now be called as Rey Monster, And I will destroy you all."(Zell)
"Mu~~~~!!"(Alexia)
At any cost, the Princess Alexia showed no weakness of pain, and endured the raging pain without issuing a voice.
All the fingers were removed and not usable. The throat will not be recover for a while, and should buy enough time.
"Ah~, and then as for this, I will accept it. To make up for the things you've did, these military funds."(Zell)
I took away the necklace which hung on the Princess' neck. If I am not mistaken, since this is connected to a distinguished Royal Family, I won't be currently troubled if I exchange this for money.,
Princess Alexia still glares this way with faint eyes. The tormenting of the prey was pleasant.
Finally, when a sweet smile floated on my face, I went down the underground passage alone with a glance back, feeling good about the events transpiring today.
"Game...Start."(Rey)
========================================================
While I tread the underground passageway, I remembered something from a little while ago, and my head began to grow cold.
As a result, I felt the itchy sensation of an old wound being opened.
Unintentionally sighing, I spilled the words.
"I should've thought more carefully on what to call myself..... Khh- AAAHHHH?! WHY DID I DO THAT LOUSY INTRO?? OR RATHER, WHAT'S WITH THE REY MONSTER?! DAMN I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT MORE CAREFULLY???!!"(Rey)
I personally dug up an old wound with an eighth-grade syndrome name, and until I arrived at the exit, I ended up enduring the sensation that my body wanted to writhe in agony.
