Extra's Hatred System

Chapter 45: Alicia's Death

It was a one on one battle to the death, Daemon the protagonist of the novel, agaisn't the villain of this arc, he had beige hair and an above average face, but I guess it doesn't matter to describe him further.

Daemon unsheathed his sword and charged at the villain, he swung his blade at him but he dodged it and countered with a punch to the face.

"Ahhh!" Daemon groaned and fell on the ground, he was bleeding from his mouth.

"Hahahaha, you're weak, you can't even defeat me" the villain laughed and kicked him in the stomach, "you're just a kid who thinks he is strong."

"Shut up..." Daemon tried to get up but couldn't.

"No, I won't shut up, you're pathetic, you think you can save her? You can't even save yourself" the villain mocked him.

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Daemon shouted and got up, he punched the villain in the face and sent him flying backwards.

"You bastard" the villain growled and pulled out a knife, he threw it at Daemon but he dodged it.

"I'm gonna kill you" Daemon roared and charged at the villain again, he swung his sword at him but he blocked it with his bare hands.

"You're not gonna kill me" the villain grinned and pushed Daemon away, "because I'm gonna kill you first."

This was... boring.

I mean the fight happening before my eyes was impressive, but I was honestly only waiting for the moment the villain pulls his secret move and kills Alicia, I just needed that confirmation before going back to my dorm.

And as the two men kept exchanging blows, I kept wondering when it would happen.

But after Daemon swung his blade at the villain's chest and actually hit him, I knew that something was wrong.

"Daemon isn't supposed to be stronger than him right now, what the...?" I wondered, but I guess it's fine as long as everything goes according to the script.

The villain stepped back and touched his bleeding chest with an annoyed expression on his face.

"You little shit..." he groaned, then put his hand forward.

"This is it" I mumbled.

Suddenly a red magic circle appeared in the villain's hand and above Alicia's head.

His special ability and plan in the novel was to summon a magical beast above Alicia's head, which ended up killing her as she didn't expect it and because the main character was overwhelmed by the beige haired man.

But in this situation where the main character was winning... what I feared most happened.

And as the magic beast's head started appearing from the circle, Daemon turned his head and noticed it, thus leading him to rush in Alicia's direction and jump to save her at the last moment before the creature dropped to the floor.

And instantly, the exact moment I saw that shitty sight before my eyes... I snapped.

[Anger meter: 100/100]

[Skill: Hatred, activated]

Daemon had now already cut the beast's head and was yet again overwhelming the villain, meaning Alicia would undeniably live if this continued.

But no, I can't allow that.

"Alicia has to die..." I kept repeating these words as the hatred aura around me increased little by little.

And that's when I remembered the words I said the day she first appeared, "Alicia needs to die, and if by some miracle she doesn't during the fight, then I'll be the one to end her."

"I'll be the one to end her..." I mumbled that last part and put my hand inside of my pocket, pulling out the relic I acquired before.

Then... I aimed it at the girl as she kept watching Daemon fight the villain.

"Goodbye Alicia, but you need to die for the sake of the world" I smiled as I thought this, "you will not be missed."

I felt absolutely no remorse towards her, it's the opposite actually... I felt happy I was the one who was gonna do it.

Maybe I'm getting affected by that [Hatred] skill, but maybe not... I don't wanna know.

I glanced at her one last time and could see she had tears streaming down her face behind her glasses.

And without hesitation, I pulled the trigger out of the room and instantly, a violet beam came out of the end of the gun and flew towards Alicia who was clueless about everything.

It hit her directly in the head, leading it to immediately explode.

"Gotcha" I was happy I got it on the first shot as I truly couldn't afford to be found out if I wanted to stay alive.

""WHAT THE FUCK?" both Daemon and the villain shouted in unison after Alicia's headless body fell to the ground.

I don't know why I felt happy I hit my shot instead of being worried I killed an innocent person, but what can I say other than it's for the greater good?

Instantly, Daemon dropped the villain and ran at full speed towards the hallway, which was from where the beam came from, of course, in any normal situation I would be trapped.

But...

[Skill: Aura Body, activated]

My body merged with the aura on my back and I directly went into the upper corner of the hallway to hide.

I saw Daemon come out of the room and check the hallway for a bit, but he realized nobody was there so he went back inside.

"Phew" I deactivated the skill after making sure he was gone, 'I almost got caught"

[You are only allowed to use the skill 30 seconds at a time]

Which means I had basically been five seconds away from dying by his hands...

"Well, it's fine, as long as the job is done" I shrugged and walked out of the basement.

Now all I had to do was wait for the next arc to start.

"Hahahaha" I couldn't stop myself from laughing on the way out though.

***

(Inside of the room)

Daemon was currently beating up the villain who he thinks killed his friend.

"TELL ME WHO YOUR BOSS IS OR I'LL DESTROY YOU!" he was out of his mind and only thought about vengeance.

"H-here..." the villain after so much torture finally gave in and handed a card to the blonde man, "all the info is there..."

Daemon grabbed the card and read the name of the organization: "Lotus High".

Below it was the name of the man who he thought was the murderer of his loved one: "Dariel".

And below that was the adress.

"Thank you for the info asshole" Daemon who still held his sword in his right hand slashed the man's throat and killed him on the spot.

He looked back towards where Alicia's body was, and without even checking on her or dropping a single tear, he went out of the room to go upstairs, back to his dorm.

"Farewell, Alicia" were his last words before walking out, thus leaving the two corpses behind, the souls of their owners already gone.
