133 Losing Sanity (1/2)
The entire house seethed in flame while black smoke dissipated in the night sky. The people from the neighbourhood noticed the fire which was spreading like raging wildfire.
Parents took their children in their arms as they hurriedly left their homes.Many were in nightclothes and some were even almost naked when they rushed out of their houses.
The dread of the blue fire left them no time to contemplate about the loss of their valuable property or their clothes.
”Gas explosion!”
”Damn! The fire is spreading to my home!”
”It has started from Athol's home!”
”Is Athol inside?”
”I don't know!”
”Call the fire department!”
”Hurry!”
Inside Athol's home, the fire continued its onslaught of destruction. In what remained of the living room, there were two living beings.
One was Kiba who was intangible unaffected by the inferno of fire. The other was Athol on the floor.
Athol wriggled in agony unable to mutter a single word. His skin melted and blood evaporated making him experience a pain he has never thought was possible.
Even though his nervous system was burned away, the pain only increased further. He felt as if his entire consciousness was fried under fire.
Athol wanted to die but the fire didn't allow him to die yet. Not even in his worst nightmare, he expected to face a time when he wanted to beg for death.
Kiba looked at Athol with any emotions on his face. He didn't think he was doing anything extreme by giving Athol such a death.
If he was going to kill someone, he wished to enjoy the feeling.This feeling was something ethereal and satisfied the very core of his being.
There was joy from every single cell of his body whenever he took a life.The happiness of taking away life was no less heavenly than the sensual pleasures.
He didn't wish to admit but he truly enjoyed this sensation. He no longer knew if it was his true self who enjoyed this sensation, or whether it was his powers which enjoyed this sensation.
At such times he could not differentiate between his true nature and the urges created by his cosmic form.
Whenever he killed, he felt free from shackles he never knew existed, to begin with. It was like a load was removed from his body and giving him liberty.
Meanwhile, inside his brain, the single gray particle flashed. It was like it was feeding on the sensation enjoyed by Kiba.
As the gray particle flashed, Kiba felt a strong urge to kill further. He just wanted to destroy and kill these insignificant beings outside.
He was like a hunter sighting countless preys. The preys which didn't deserve to live in this world.
Unconsciously, he clenched his fist and the fire around the house turned more violent as it absorbed energy from him.
The people outside on their street backed away. Their eyes turned wide in horror as the fire expanded at an unbelievable rate.
The fire was like it has its own consciousness as it moved away from the houses to target the people on the street.
”W-what's going on?”
”How can the fire leave the houses and come after us?!”
”The fire trucks would take a long time before they arrive!”
”We have to do something!”
”Watch out!”
”Run!”
”N--AHHH!”
