88 Su Mins regret. (1/2)

*PSSSST*

A distraught sizzle issued out of the ball of flame as the warrior got smothered in heat. Su Min smirked as he waved his hand and compressed the flames, magnifying its power until it reached a hair-raising temperature.

”GAHHHH!!”

The warrior cried and gurgled in the flames, yet this screech didn't even last as silence overtook the blitzing ball. Though, just after this, black fog puffed out of the flames and onto the ground a couple meters away. A shaking body formed from this fog, where its swirling eyes flickered like a dull lamp.

Su Min paused as he found this warrior to be rather interesting. His clenched hand loosened, and the ball of flame dissipated without a sound. Of course, not even a grain of dirt was damage after the confrontation...

Nevertheless, as Su Min eyed the twitching warrior, shock began to surface.

'Am I seeing things?'

The warrior, beneath his stupified stare, grasped the dirt with its shaky hand of fogged blackness. It shoved itself up, then in a strange tremor, its body began to emit random crackling noises.

A grey aura emerged and smothered it, and from this, its indistinct and injured frame healed at a visible speed! In no less than a couple seconds, the warrior stood there with the same body it had in the beginning!

In fact, Su Min could feel a similar strength as well. One of a piercing sensation, and from this he deduced that the warrior had recovered... Just like that.

'Isn't that a bit...'

He didn't know what to say, but even then this didn't seem to be the end as intelligence brewed within the warrior's eyes...

It seemed to become confused as that intelligence brightened ever so more. Then, in a gasp, the warrior collapsed onto the ground out of nausea.

”W-where? I'm not dead? Is this heaven? Miss..?”

He caressed the floor with hysteria, though, as his inhuman eyes caught sight of his hand, he cried out with a jolt.

”What the fuck?!”

He raised his hand with enough strength to split mountains right up to his face, where sudden shockwaves tumbled out and onto said face.

*BANG*

Though his eyes remained wide open as he just stared at his hand and arm, even with the blast of hot air. He didn't move for a while, then as if he had realised something, his hand plopped onto the ground like it was dead.

He raised his head, and discovering a black figure that resembled himself way too much to the side of him, he seemed to want to cry.

”I knew that you were sadistic, but did you have to turn me into a piece of black filth?!”

The black figure jumped with a little surprise as his face distorted a bit with hurt.

”Hey, watch your 'filthy' mouth ya piece of shit! Oh, wait...”

Su Min coughed as he stepped in front of the black figure before it insulted itself anymore. The warrior's eyes jumped as he saw Su Min, where a multitude of emotions battered his being.

Nonexistent tears welled in his nonexistent eye sockets as he murmured with a strange derangement.

”You... You're the one who awakened the freak in me... Ah, yeah... I killed them all, didn't I... How could I forget? Heh?! Yeah, this must be the punishment! To live looking a piece of shit, and serve the person who caused it all! HAHAHA, RIGHT?!”

Su Min felt a little confused, but as this surfaced, a memory of a kid entered his mind. One who he saved for a wisp of bloodline, but then found to be possessed by such a bloodline.

He didn't expect such a person to still be alive, yet here he was, staring at him with resentment and self-loathing...

Though, from what it seemed, the village he fought on was empty because of a reason much more sadistic than he would've hoped.

'Ah shit.'

No words could explain the feeling Su Min was going through right now as he stared at the tattered warrior, who was in fact that naive boy he saved just to collect his bloodline.

He felt a little regretful...

'I am feeling..? Even though it is small, I am feeling...'

Su Min eyes brightened as he realised this, and although it was near nothing, he was feeling something! He expects nothing, but somehow, he could feel that certain hint of that emotion he has been rid of!

The black figure seemed to notice this as he took a glimpse at Su Min, where a faint thought echoed in his head.

'Interesting...'

Su Min took a slow stroll towards the collapsed warrior as a complicated light shined in his eyes. He kneeled down, and staring at the whimpering image of a dangerous being, he spoke.

”I can't help you with an issue that has already been thrown in the bottomless hell hole known as the past, but I can say this...”

The warrior quietened a little as Su Min continued.

”You won't get anywhere by feeling sorry for yourself. You have been given a new chance, and with this, if you must, you can use it to aim for my head! If you hate me that much, then why are you sitting there like a pathetic piece of shit, get up and face me!”

Su Min's roar quaked in the ears of the warrior, reverberating booms in his head. The warrior's eyes brightened, and in a slow but steady push, he lifted himself off of the ground!

His eyes, levelled with Su Min, stared on with hatred. He gripped his fists and spoke.

”Although I don't understand, a power I can't even imagine seems to be within me...”

Su Min's face lifted into a grin as he laughed.

”Hahaha! If you can't even imagine your own power then how on earth will you beat me? It seems that your previous self was some sort of subconscious thing, interesting! Go on, if you can beat me then I'll gladly let you take my head, if not then you're serving me! But first, what's your name?”

A dangerous light brewed in Su Min's eyes as a golden haze spewed out and around him. The warrior's body quivered in response as a dangerous and almost inconceivable feeling billowed, but he grit his teeth and spoke.

”Li Wei...”

Su Min's grin remained as he laughed and leapt back. He raised his fist and roared with provocation.

”Well, will you fight me? Li Wei?”

Li Wei's eyes shook as he gazed at Su Min who exuded a mighty presence. His heart began to thump, and with a stagger, he slumped on the ground with a gaping gaze and a dull mutter.

”N-no...”

Su Min's grin widened as he lowered his fist and let out a breath in silence.
