Chapter 95 - 88: Hiroshi, the Criminal (1/2)

(The Other World, a month after Hikaru left)

The town of Unity was in distraught because the two leaders they've been depending on were assassinated by one of the legendary duo adventurers, Hiroshi. He killed them mercilessly, even going as far as decorating the entire mansion in their blood. Even the children and grandchildren of the two weren't spared. They were all butchered to the point that people of the town couldn't even recognize them.

It was a complete one-sided massacre.

In just one night, the two 10-Tiers leaders of the town of Unity died in the hands of a Tier-9. It was a mystery how he did it but the town folks didn't care, they only wanted justice for their kind leaders.

Wanted posts were spread everywhere around the The Kingdom of Humans.

And by this point, Hiroshi is a wanted criminal known throughout the continent. Killing two 10-tiers powerhouses is no easy feat, even the King of Humans was cautious about dealing with him.

But it was said that Hiroshi lost an arm as he killed the two, so at least they can easily hunt him down. It's only a matter of time before he is killed.

That was 10 days ago, and he is still out in the world, freely venturing everywhere on his own. He was sighted everywhere but almost anyone who decided to hunt him down was either killed, or crippled forever.

They only saw him alone, there was no evidence of his partner showing up. The infamous Hikaru, the Monster, was not with him. It seems like they separated at some point, but they keep on looking for Hikaru. In case they see him.

Now, no one knows this, but the reason Hiroshi did what he did was because he saw something under that house. Something very disgusting.

The entire family of that 10-Tier powerhouses was eating children of different races. Humans, beastmen, and even Elves. Apparently, they just love eating the meat of those smooth skinned children.

Hiroshi saw all this when, one night, he decided to sneak in inside their mansion for some mission he accepted from the guild. It was an infiltration mission to see if that family was indeed kidnapping children. That mission was issued by one of the villages out of the Town of Unity.

Well, he did find the children but they were all dismembered, butchered, and the parts that were not edible were thrown away like garbage. It was truly a disgusting sight to see.

Hiroshi lost his mind and massacred almost everyone in that mansion, and he even bathed the entire mansion in their blood.

Even though they might seem like good people, those two 10-tiers powerhouses were worse than demons.

Though, it might've not ended like this if Hikaru didn't leave him for such a long time. He doesn't blame him, of course, since it's not his fault. The only thing Hiroshi could do now is hide, until Hikaru returns.

Right now, he's heading towards the Demonic Empire. No humans would dare to go there, and even him is quite afraid of going there. But he has a higher chance of surviving there, especially right now, when he only has one arm.

He let his guard down at the very last moment, and the Tier-10 Archmage managed to cut off his arm with a mana sword. Now, he hides the left side of his body, so that no one can see it. He carries his left arm inside his spatial bag, so that one day he may reattach it back.

But right now, his only focus is on surviving. Fortunately for him, this kind of situation wasn't rare back in that dungeon. So he's used to it by now.

Hiroshi sat inside the cave he made himself as the bonfire he made himself slowly burned to cinders, and he said to himself, ”After I reach the Demonic Empire, then what? I need to plan what I am going to do, if Hikaru doesn't come back.”

He kept it a secret, away from the guild, but he became a Tier-11 just after Hikaru left. But he hasn't hunted monsters like he was with Hikaru for a month now. He's stuck with just Tier-10, but he'll be able to change that soon. The strongest person in the world is just, after all, a Tier-12 Demon Emperor. The King of Humans is also a Tier-12 warrior, but that's to be expected.

Even with all of his skills right now, it is still impossible for him to face millions of soldiers on his own. If Hikaru really doesn't return, he'll bide his time and get stronger until he is at the peak. Only then will he be able to fight back against the Kingdom of Humans.

”I guess destroying the Kingdom of Humans is equivalent to putting a middle finger right in front of the goddess. But there are innocent people too, I might accidentally kill them if I'm not careful.” Hiroshi muttered to himself.

Then he just lied on the ground after thinking for a long time and quickly fell asleep. He'll think all about this tomorrow.
