”Just kill me, you bastard!”
”Not so fast! You got to pay for your crimes,” Elliot said, a crazy smile plastered on his face. It was a crazy smile, something less like a smile and more like a cry for help. The first time he took a human life, he realized that he didn't feel any nausea like so many others, nor did he feel any apprehension, fear, or bad at killing someone.
In contrast to a sane person, he only felt happiness and satisfaction. Maybe he was like this because the school instructor taught him how to kill the in school, taught him how to fight from a young age, or because his classmates bullied him so much and the instructor silently watched from the sidelines, occasionally taunting him, beating and suppressing him so much that he ended developing a twisted personality, something that he didn't know existed till he got blood on his hands for the first time, that he realized he was no longer sane.
Although he knew that his twisted personality took pleasure in hurting others, he knew he had enough willpower to never harm an innocent.
So, he didn't want help, and he didn't want to undergo therapy and let someone give him consulting to help himself.
No!
In this crazy world, he wanted to be the king of caries, a wild and untamed guy that kills whoever crosses his ways, defy his rule, or goes against him.
Curtis was one such person.
Elliot then continued to shatter his remaining bones, relishing the process, enjoying to his heart's content.
Although Curtis was a magician in the fifth level of the channel opening stage, having a lifespan of more than 500 hundred years, his vitality far surpassed thousands of humans, so he managed to endure through the shattering of all the bones in his body, still breathing. However, not as vigorously as before.
”You sure are tenacious, still alive although you've no bones left in your body, only thousands of bone shards impaling into your flesh, energy channels, and internal organs,” Elliot said, praising Curtis's will to live.
An instant after he said those words, Curtis's voice sounded in his ears.
”The great serpentine devil won't forgive you.”
Saying those words to a sadist who doesn't give a fuck about the world, was the worst mistake of his life.
”Don't worry, I will make sure to give your colleagues and it a free ride to hell,” Elliot said, intent on killing him in the worst way possible.
The only way for Curtis to pay the price for his crime in this life was to die from a way far worse than a death by a thousand cuts!
Elliot smiled, causing Curtis to tremble vigorously. He could feel that he was about to do something terrifying, his instinct told him that. He would have bit his tongue to hasten his death, but he didn't have teeth!
A large amount of golden energy surged out of Elliot's body, splitting into thousands of silk-like golden threads, which wrapped around Curtis's Body.
”Feel fear filling you up till you breathe your last! Remember this death, and if you get to live a second life then don't forget to contribute to society to repent for your crimes!” Elliot said cliche words that he heard many righteous nut heads saying in web novels, snapping his finger while saying those words, causing the thousands of threads to tighten around him, sending thousands of electric shook directly to Curtis pain, overloading it with pain, frying it to mush!
In the blink of an eye, the threads shredded Curtis into thousands of pieces, creating a bloody mess in the alleyway.

”I am not too far away from reaching the next evolutionary stage,” Elliot thought before he ordered his undead slave to devour Curtis's flesh.
<Undead Slave C has devoured Curtis, a magician in the fifth level of the channel opening stage, to increase its potential to the fifth stage of the demonic realm and its level to the first stage of the demonic realm>
<Congratulation! The Undead Slave C have also acquired the superpower, curse of suppression>
