Chapter 90 Arc 2 - Andrew's Unfaithful Wife
Salathiel teleported Andrew into his hometown. The moment he was at his house, his head turned blank again. His eyes started glowing red and his wings disappeared as he walked through the door.
"Honey, I'm home." he smiled as he walked toward the bedroom, where he wanted to interrogate his wife about her brother's possible location. However, what he saw next made his blood boil.
His wife was sleeping with his boss. His heart skipped a beat. He could hear his heartbeat, his head became dizzy.
"My God," he cursed. "This is disgusting." his voice turned deep and monstrous, like when he killed the gang of bandits who tried to rob him. Andrew shook his head, to make his mind clear again, and moved to the bathroom. He needed some fresh air, in order to regain control over himself. When he came back into the bedroom, he noticed that the man had woken up.
"I need a bath." the man exclaimed as he slowly got out of bed. But when he got up, he noticed Andrew. He stared as if he just saw a ghost. "Y-You're alive?"
"Oh, I am more than alive." Andrew gritted his teeth at the realization. 'They knew that he was supposed to be dead and still did this.' His eyes started glowing even brighter as wings reappeared behind his back, knocking the shelves down. "I've never been so alive," Andrew exclaimed as he launched himself at the man.
"W-What?" Andrew's wife opened her eyes; to see Andrew grabbing her affair partner's throat. Her eyes turned wide when she noticed Andrew's wings and bright red eyes. "What is going on?!" she screamed.
"Shut the fuck up, filthy whore! I'll deal with you soon!" Andrew snarled, squeezing his hands harder on the boss's neck.
"S-Stop!" she tried pushing Andrew off her man but was hit by Andrew's wing and fell backward. "Y-You don't know who you're dealing with!"
"No one threatens me like this, I am not your son!" Andrew shouted as he hit his wife's face with the side of his free hand.
The man tried creating a fireball, but couldn't as Andrew's cursed mana was slowly corroding his mana. He flinched and stopped casting his spell. "Y-You can't be a human. You died!"
"I am a Nephilim." Andrew gritted his teeth and punched the man in the stomach, then the face. "And you're dead now."
Andrew smirked and focused his mana into his palm, creating a black orb with his fingers. He then cast it towards the man's head, leaving a hole in its place.
"No!" his wife screamed as she watched in horror as the affair partner's head turned to dust. Andrew then turned to her, looking at her for a moment. Then he looked down and stared at her bare skin, seeing how sexy and sexy she was. He could barely contain his urge to kill her fast.
"I don't want to give you a quick death tho," he exclaimed while smirking. "No. I want to give you a slow and painful death." He slowly walked toward her.
"S-Stop!" she cried, her voice trembling with fear. She knew she could not stop him and would probably end up dead. "P-Please..." she sobbed.
"I wonder what is a fitting punishment for your betrayal..." Andrew's heart was racing fast again as he stood above his wife. "How about a curse?" he asked.
He extended his hand toward her, wanting to infuse her with his corrosive mana but quickly he felt a hit at the back of his head. He looked back to see two black-robed adventurers. For a moment he was speechless, but then he gasped.
"HUHH?!" Andrew growled at them. He couldn't understand why the adventurers were here. But then he noticed that those adventurers were casting some sort of spell.
They were muttering something under their noses and a symbol appeared under Andrew's legs. He instantly knew what was happening and tried to cast his own spell but it wasn't working. "G-Go away!" He shouted as the adventurers kept muttering under their noses.
The symbol's mana under his feet was getting bigger and bigger until it started freezing his feet. He tried moving them and it didn't work, his feet were stuck to the ground.
"What are you doing?!" Andrew shouted at them. The adventurers were still muttering under their noses, but it seemed like they were concentrating on the spell they were doing. Andrew realized that these were probably the same men who arrested him the last time.
Andrew closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He was thinking about the situation carefully. The symbol was obstructing his mana flow so he couldn't cast a single spell. But... what if instead of spells he would use something else.What about his body? His wings? Wait, what about his feathers? Andrew realized this was a possibility and smirked. He gazed at two men and warned them one last time.
"You two should leave if you don't want to die." he snarled, ready to strike with his wings if they didn't listen. He lifted his wings and started twitching them, trying to get his feathers to come out. He felt them coming out one by one. It was taking a long, but he knew it would work eventually. He kept doing this until the feather flew straight at his wife's leg, leaving a hole in it.
"It worked!" Andrew cheerfully announced as the adventurers gazed at each other but kept muttering under their noses.
Andrew threw another feather at the men, who had a barrier around them. However, that feather managed to pierce through the barrier, hitting an adventurer's shoulder. The man screamed in pain, as he realized there was a hole in his shoulder. The blood that flowed out was dark red, like blood from a cursed beast.
"Eric?!" Another adventurer stopped casting spells as well and quickly looked at Andrew, who had a look of glee in his eyes as he stared at him.
Andrew was shocked by the effect of his attack but immediately followed up with another feather, which landed straight on the other adventurer's leg making him fall to his knees.
"Now that that is taken care of..." Andrew said while breathing heavily and took a step back. "I'll start with you." he turned to face his wife, who was leaning against the wall.
"Where was I?" he asked and closed his eyes, trying to remember the process of cursing people. When he finally got it, he opened his eyes and looked at her again. "Now... let's see..." He extended his hand toward her. "I want you to suffer and die painfully..." His hand started emanating a dark aura as it got darker and darker until it was pitch black.
"Y-You bastard! Stop this! Let me go! Let me go!" she pleaded as Andrew grabbed her head with one hand while focusing the dark aura in his palm on her forehead. She screamed in pain, as she tried to escape from the man who was supposed to be dead. But when she tried escaping, her head kept getting stuck in Andrew's palm and she couldn't move anymore.
"Grrr... this is too much for me to handle..." Andrew grumbled, causing his hand to glow bright red as he forced his mana onto the woman's head. She started screaming in pain, as her hair turned to ash and her skin turned red.
Woman's brain being melted by mana: a new form of a curse that Andrew really wanted to try out. She kept screaming as her eyes started bleeding from the intense pain in her head and she died.
"Ah shit. How will I find her brother?" Andrew realized and looked down at his hands which were covered in blood and ash. He looked around the room, ignoring the adventurers still screaming in pain. He noticed his wife's mobile phone. "Ah, good."
He smirked and texted his brother-in-law a message from his wife's phone telling him that she was in danger and he needed to come as fast as he could. He then walked to the kitchen and picked up some food as he got himself comfortable on the chair.
In about ten minutes, his brother-in-law showed up with a couple of coworkers. They rushed into the house and saw two corpses and two passed-out adventurers.
"W-What the..." brother-in-law exclaimed, his eyes were wide as saucers when he saw his dead sister with a completely burned face.
"H-How did this happen?" one of the coworkers asked, his voice trembling. Suddenly, he noticed someone humming in the kitchen. "W-Who's there?"
Andrew walked out and clapped his hands. He looked like an ordinary person, except for his brightly shining eyes.
"Whoa." he exclaimed. "I didn't expect the entire gang to come!" his wings appeared behind his back as he stretched his neck.
"Y-You bastard!" one of the adventurers yelled and tried to shoot fireballs at Andrew but they only went halfway through him, burning only the air.
The faces of the brother-in-law and his coworkers changed when they realized that Andrew was alive. They gazed at each other before turning to look at Andrew again with a shocked gaze.
"Y-You..." brother-in-law exclaimed, but quickly noticed a thick dark fog coming from Andrew's body.
The men who just came into the house were quickly surrounded by a black miasma that Andrew released and started gasping for air.
"Magic is quite easy when you get a hang of it, in fact... If I focus more, I think I can turn my mana into something even deadlier!" he explained with a smile on his face. Andrew released his poisonous miasma toward his brother-in-law and his coworkers, who started falling on the ground as their faces began melting off their bones and skin, leaving only bones behind.
"Salathiel..." Andrew exclaimed after confirming that everyone was dead. "I want to come to Eden."
