Chapter 277 - Johns Tragic Rage, Confrontation and Despair. Volume 4 Ending. (1/2)

Steam continued to be let out from John as sweat flowed down his face. Despite the pain being weakened, he still struggled to keep his consciousness.

The pain which felt like hours, showed no signs of subsiding, and for John, he had never regretted a decision so badly in his life.

His body wouldn't stop shaking. He felt as if he was freezing and yet burning at the same time. Words couldn't descirbe the emotions passing through his mind as this happened.

Feelings of anger, hate, pain, sadness, all these negative emotions flowed into him. They felt as if they were his yet at the same time, from something else.

As John raised his hand to slam it down on the ground once again, and as he did so. All the negative feelings within him, turned themselves into an emerging rage.

A small feeling of rage which allowed John to snap out of his pained and s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e state. He began to focus on suppressing whatever it was that was causing all that pain within him.

”Kek...”

A small glowing light began to move around John's body as the amount of steam being let out began to decrease. The amount of sweat on his face also seemed to be decreasing as he did so.

It didn't take long for him to notice it. It was being contained. The pain was being contained and weakened. Because of this, hope filled his heart as he began to contain it and push it back even more than before.

”Work... Come on... Come on!” John muttered to himself

He clenched his hands as they sat on top of the cold dark cube. And thanks to this, John could feel it getting better and better.

It was working.

'Nearly there...' John thought to himself as he did his best to hold on

The darkness which was being emitted from the cube was using John as some sort of catalyst as it all travelled into him. A normal person wouldn't have been able to handle it, and John knew clearly about that fact.

It didn't take long, for all that darkness to eventually run out. John had successfully absorbed it all.

As the pain disappeared, he suddenly felt alive again. He dropped straight down onto the ground while letting in deep breaths.

”I... F...Finally...” John muttered as he panted heavily

He slowly got up with a strange emerging emotion within him. He felt different. After all the pain he had felt, he was in an angered and annoyed mood, but it was more than that.

It was as if hate from others had entered him. Almost as if it was the anger of lost souls.

John couldn't understand it, but he had given up on doing so. As he got up, darkness could be seen flowing out from within him, however he simply ignored it.

”Finally... everyone can... go ba-”

As John looked up, a sight which would forever haunt him, could be seen right ahead of him. He didn't even bother to finish his sentence as his eyes opened wide.

*Thump*

As blood dripped down through Serena's wound and Ariel's mouth, the emerging feeling of anger within him, quickly began to bloom.

*Thump* *Thump*

”S-Serena...? A-Ariel...?” John muttered as he could feel the despair within him blooming along with the rage.

”I...Idiot.... S...Sorry...” Serena muttered with her little remaining strength.

*Thump*

Hearing this was all it took. John had completely lost it. It was no longer possible to contain it.

”A....Ah-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” John cried out in rage

In that instant, A sudden surge of dark magic burst out. In a single burst made it's way throughout the whole room, allowing Master Sylvia to feel it clearly.

*Thump* *Thump*

”Why...?” John asked as tears began to stream down his face

There was no reply, but even if there was, it wouldn't make a difference. John couldn't hear it

”Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?!” John repeated.

He raised both arms before slamming them down, sending down another dark burst as he simoutaneously shouted.

”WHYYY!?!?!? MASTER!!!”

Even more and more darkness could be seen flowing out of and around John as he got up after shouting those words.

As Master Sylvia saw this, an excited smile could be seen on her face.

And as John stood fully up, the expression on his tear-filled face. Turned into a blank one as he stared straight at Master Sylvia.

Master Sylvia felt her heart skip a beat as this happened. It wasn't the reaction she was expecting.

Right after that, John's eyes clouded themself in darkness. His hair turned pitch-black and began to grow even longer than before.

”I did everything you asked... And you still... betrayed me? After everything?” John asked with an angered glare

*Thump*

The darkness in the room stopped flowing out like a broken tap and began to contain itself. As it turned into a steady flow.

The debris and rocks around John began to slowly lift itself from the ground as he began to contain all the rage and darkness. He knew it wasn't too late to save Serena and Ariel. Despite being blinded by all that despair and rage. He still had hope. All he wanted was to save them.

Seeing this, Master Sylvia became visibly more nervous. She had to do something as things seemed to have taken a massive turn from whatever she had planned.

*BOOM!!!*

A dark flame erupted once more from the edge of the dagger. Big and large enough to engulf them all. The flame completely blocked John's view of them. So he relied on his senses with darkness brooming out of him.

He could feel everything around him, yet the life of those he held dear to him were gone. His hope crushed, just like that.
