Chapter 262 - MIGHT 02 (2/2)

Before he was a soul, he was also human. He was killed by people who were like monster, relatives and friends, torturing him until his death because of greed and power.

And in turn they created a monster. He survived in the battlefield of souls and regains his mortal body; his soul power is stronger than anybody else.

His revenge drives him, making him unable to care for the people he met in the journey, people he knew he could fall in love with, and people he could be friend with.

All he sees, all he want was that vengeance. It blinded his eyes, clouded his heart. Hatred is all he knew.

He traverses hot places, a hell like region to seek the people that have maligned him, his skin blistering as journeyed on all to exact his vengeance,

He went to cold places that could freeze one bones and kill his way to fulfill his hatred

He escapes wars he should have fought and fought in wars he didn't need to all for the sake of his vengeance

Everything seems to be a place of suffering in this world for him.

In this world, like before, Azief had no memory of his life as Death Monarch or any memories that he is inside a trial.

Azief himself was beaten, suffers in heart and body, and then being inflicted such suffering it was then he inflict suffering on other, the vengeance breeds and even multiply.

If he killed one, then he needs to kill ten after that. If he kills tens, he needs to kill hundred after that.

So on and so forth.

Vengeance breed vengeance and Azief saw no way to escape that path of hatred that seems to never end.

So, with his saber by his side he killed and killed, shedding blood every day, corpses always accompanied him every step of his journey.

Using the Star Shattering Saber he cleaved the world in half, killing all things and then he arrived at another planet.

And yet, he still suffers.

And once again he kills and he kills. Yet, the path of his suffering did not stop, no matter how many person he killed.

Even when he save people and do good, things still did not change.

Then what was he supposed to do?

He did nothing but people still seek him for vengeance. He meditates and hides himself from the populace.

It wasn't until he heard a Song he was awakened and Azief remembers who he was and that he was in a trial.

He then ponders of his experience and how to break this path he is now walking, the path Azul had walked and regretted

It was then he realizes something. He was not in this trial to resolve anything or solve something.

His regret in this trial is not one but millions of regret. With each of the life he taken, his heart grew heavy.

But if he did not kill, it is who would be killed.

But as long as he killed, they would always be more people who wanted to kill him for vengeance.

After hundreds of years of suffering, of contemplation, of fighting and killing he finally understands.

He is here in this trial to pay for his sins. He changed his approach then.

He tried as hard as he can to redeem his sins. He make sure all the descendant of the people he killed to be prosperous and safe.

He did not seek happiness or a happy ending for himself because he knew this is not what this trial is about.

This trial is about paying one due. That was Azul regret. To not pay what is owed. In the end when all of the people he has owed have been paid, Azief waited for a man to kill him.

This man lost his father because of him and that man is his own disciple.

He took him as disciple knowing fully well that kid will one day point his sword at him when he knew the truth

In that world, Azief is dubbed as the Sword God.

In a battle that shatters stars and brought down the starry skies from its high reaches, Azief used that battle to teach his disciple his technique while fighting him.

That man killed him but Azief smiles in the end as he knows that he had broken this chain of hatred.

As he looks at the blue sky that never seems so vast before he died, there is no longer any regret in his heart for he now has escaped the hell which has trapped him.

The Hell was in his heart.

Because of that no matter where he goes and no matter what he does he was always trapped.

The Hell is in his heart and in his death knowing that he as done his best to paid for his sins left him feeling satisfied, the hell in his heart break and he escape the suffering.

When Azief woke from that trial, Azief could not help but be unable to move for hours.

He ponders that experience and they were many things that became clear in his mind and his heart.

When dawn arrived, his middle finger contains the power of Star Shattering Saber. He called his middle finger the Star Shattering finger.

With this finger he could use it to shatter stars and used that force toward his enemies, to cleave a planet with one swish of a finger.

Azief know he is close to form his Disk. He closes his eyes as he was thinking of this matter. Then he heard something ringing. He opens his information tablet.
