Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

Chapter 46 - Changing Fates And Destiny(5)

PARKER'S POV:-

"Damn it, what the f**k did I do to fight against this monster?!" I exclaim as I dodge a slash from the kid's scythe in front of me.

"Who are you and why are you so adamant about attacking me?" In an impatient voice, I ask him the reason for his attack.

'Seriously, the fact that I don't know why am I being attacked is bothering me more than the fact that I am being attacked.'

I keep dodging him and trying my best to find a way to attack him.

Not answering me, he keeps attacking.

'Just what is this bastard thinking?' I mutter as I look at him

His smile deepens everytime he manages to slash me.

'Psychopath.'

'Haah...Sorry Guild Master, this isn't my cup of tea. I'm running out of here,' I think as I begin to run away from that monster.

But he blinks in front of me as if waiting for that moment.

'When did he?...No he always was this fast, Is he toying with me?' Realisation dawned upon me as I saw through his motive.

"Can you please not spoil all the fun?" Confirming my doubts, he asks as he takes a step forward.

"WHY?!?WHY ARE YOU AFTER ME?? I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU, HAVE I?? EVEN IF I DID SOMETHING TO YOU, I AM SORRY," I shout out of desperation...or not.

'Will you please fall for this trap and tell me how I f**ked you up?'

'Are you one of those guys, who usually come to take revenge on me for a certain friend or family? Haha, I wonder if it was your girlfriend or something. If it was, I would love to see your face after I defeat you and tell you how I did it.'

"A certain someone..." He speaks but stops after three words.

'Haa..tsk tsk...Same old, same old...Mate, in this world who gives a damn about anyone else? Can't you understand that in this world if you have power you have everything? Whoever it was, must have been pathetic to be defeated by me. Survival of the fittest, dude.' I think as I look at him.

Let's throw a bait.

"Hey, how about this... I give you something. What do you want, huh? Money? Fame? I have a lot of money. Power? Well, not like you need it but hey how about the Lesser Fruit of Gaia? I have a small part of it," I speak acting as desperate as possible.

He stops as he looks at me.

'Haha, no one can resist the temptation of the Fruit of Gaia,' I think as I look at that child.

Strong or weak, the temptation of power is something, that no one in this world can resist.

I try to sound discreet and speak,

"Listen to me, this is a secret that no one knows so don't tell anyone,

Humans and Devils were collaborating to take over Eslaine, but somehow that plan failed. So now, all of the Devils have planned to take the Lesser Fruit of Gaia and burn the tree itself as you can see. And you see, some higher members will share a part of the fruit among themselves," a smile forms on my face as I reach the juicy part of the conversation, "I am one of those members who will get a part of the fruit.

So, how about it? I can give you 1/4th of the part I am getting?" I speak in an understanding but anxious tone.

'Just you wait till I kill you later, oh God I am gonna enjoy this so much.'

'Just fall into my trap, will ya...how do you say it...yeah' pretty please',' I plan as I look at his expression.

He starts walking again as he does a few slashes in the air as if he is testing his slashes before making any move.

"Half of it, I'll give you half of it. How about it? Look, I have worked hard for that fruit for over a decade now, I can't really be more parting to it now, can I?" I speak in an 'anxious' tone.

'Yeah, do you know how many people I have killed and $#&@#% till I reached this point? It was all sweat and blood. Of course not mine.'

He keeps walking.

Then...

Something happens...no his aura changes...this...this isn't something I can handle...I must run.

"Is that all your life worth? Kinda cheap, if you ask me," he speaks in an uninterested tone.

My body gets numb as he moves forward.

'He will kill me. I can feel it. He won't show any mercy.'

"All of it. I will give you all of it. Please don't kill me," this time really scared I readily give him my most precious possession.

'My body isn't moving. It is sweating all over. I feel like I am standing against a predator. If I don't think of something, I might really die,' thinking that I start channelling mana into my body slowly.

Looking at him, he still isn't showing any sign of stopping.

"You know, humans are funny creatures. Especially creatures like you, I mean.

They kill people when they are desperate, even their own families and friends.

They lie to themselves, they lie to others and the truth only comes when they are on the verge of dying or something. But that's not all humans are. There are people who save others and butt in everyone's business and help them unconditionally or something.

I am really curious you know?

Every race has its speciality like Elves with their kind nature. I am not saying all Elves are good but a majority of them are.

Orc have their fighting nature, Beasts have their animal instinct, Pixies are generally calm and collected yet laugh at the silliest thing, they enjoy life n all.

But human? There is such a wide variety of them that it's hard to think of a particular point that is peculiar only to them.

Perhaps that is the reason why I find humans amusing. I mean you can never expect what would happen next."

'What is he talking about? He seems philosophical type? Is there any hidden meaning in those words? Still, it gave me enough time to collect mana to cast an escape spell.'

"[Teleportation]" I cast an incomplete spell that transfers me to the outskirts of Eslaine

But

"And you know the best thing about them? It is their unpredictability at times, unlike you of course. I mean it's easy to predict the distance you might teleport around with that kind of magic so...Ah! Sorry I ended up making such a long speech, lemme end your sufferings."

'When did he get here? What..'

He moves his scythe for a slash.

"AS IF I'LL LET YOU," I shout at him channelling my mana and dodging backwards.

"[Lesser Life Exchange: Aura Arts War Hammer of Chaos]"

I channel mana into my body and hammer.

'This is my last move, since I already used it, I might as well kill him before leaving from here.'

My speed and strength increase massively.

"Haha...In this form I can go tow to tow with a Sin Devil, you are going to regret provoking me...ummm...hey what's your name? At least, I should know the name of the person I am going to kill," I speak with a grin on my face.

He was looking at me with an excited face but then at my final words his expression turned plain as he spoke,

"You don't need to know," he speaks with an uninterested expression.

'Huh?'

'What?'

Something happened.

I am feeling dizzy all of a sudden.

I look at him.

'Did he do something?'

he is standing in front of me

"what happen-"

I saw a heart in his hand

"Tell me...what was your name again?...whatever it was it doesn't matter, so let me ask you this at your final moments. Have you ever loved anyone in this despicable life of yours? Think about it. It's a good thing to remember something positive as one dies," he speaks as he looks down on me.

'Of course, I have! She was the one who betrayed me and the first person who died by my hands.'

'Her name was....'

I somehow felt that...whatever I did in my life...Maybe...just maybe...this death was too forgiving for me...why did I feel this way?... Just.... where did things go wrong in my life?... Could things have gone differently if I had lived a different life...? I wonder...

These were my last thoughts as I took my last breath.
