Novel Bin Chapter 167 Ancient Will Rises Its Head Once More
“You! Yo-You are nothing but a baroness!” The girl shouted while pointing her finger at me. I sneered and took a step forward while waving my hand. A barrier suddenly formed around me and the group of youths in front of me.
As I spoke, I took another step forward, making the bitch in front of me take a step back. “It is true that I am only a baroness, but I am also a provisional knight. And on top of that, my titles are mine and mine alone, not like you, who is only the daughter of a marquess. You have no actual title of your own. You can only cry to your parents when you get in trouble or get bullied. I bet you do not even have money that you can call your own. Do you know…. I own my own company already? That I have been put in charge of a certain area of the capital under the king’s orders? I am sure you do. Otherwise, why else would you bad mouth me and target those close to me?”
The girl gritted her teeth as she looked at those around her. “What are you all doing!? Get her!”-.
“Yeah, get her! She is nothing but a lowly demi hu….”
<strong>*Boom!*</strong>
“Oops, my hand slipped,” I said with a smile while tilting my head. My blood lust was starting to rise. The more I was dealing with these nobles who were out to target me and those close to me, the more I just wanted to make them disappear. Rip them limb from limb until their blood covers the ground. No! I can’t!
I could feel my ability to think starting to slip. I looked at the crater I had just made with a simple fireball and frowned slightly. “No more talking. Each one of you will be beaten up here and now. If I wait any longer, then I might… Just…. Hehehe…. Hahahaha!”
“What the hell is the matter with her!? Has she gone crazy… Ooooffff!” My fist delightfully smashed into the bitches face. My knee accidentally ended up in her stomach. And with a swift kick to the head, she went flying into the barrier, which was spinning around to make it so no one could break in or out. It was quite funny to watch the girl get taken by the barrier and flung through the air.
“Hahaha!” I can’t stop. I am already restraining myself as much as I can. My body feels like it is moving on its own as I laugh every time I smash my fists into one of their faces. One, two, three at a time. My tail wraps around one kid’s neck and smashes him to the ground.
“See…. Hahahaha! What…. Hehe…. You…. Hahaha! Made… Hehe.. me.. hehe…. Do….” It only took a matter of seconds to take them all down. My fists and armor were covered in the blood that splattered all over it. I did not wish to go this far. I did not wish to end up this way. But…. It seems I was unable to control it. Even now, as I walk toward the first girl I knocked away, I just want to rip her head off. Maybe… snack on her heart… “Hehehehe!”
“””””Faith!””””” Five voices came from behind me, causing me to freeze. My senses were slowly coming back. I turned to see Adel, Sophie, Sei, Sally, and Grace all standing there outside my barrier with expressions not of fear but concern and worry? They had tears in their eyes. Why? Why were they crying? I was getting rid of those who were trying to bully them….
I turned and looked at the seventeen people lying on the ground covered in blood staring at me in fear as they tried to move away from me. Not a single one was dead, but I am sure they were hurt beyond belief. “Ah…..”
I see…. They were worried because of my actions…. They were worried because I suddenly began acting strange. I guess I can forget about making more friends at this academy…. Clenching my fists, I turned around with my head lowered as I slowly walked over to the barrier and undid it. I did not dare look the girls in the face. I mean, I just went nuts. I went crazy in front of them…. How could I look them in the eye? But I have to be grateful to them as well…. Because of them, I was able to pull myself back before I went too far. But my thoughts this time scared me. They scared me more than last time. I actually thought of eating someone’s heart… Is this what is going to happen to me if I lose my mind completely? Just the thought of it was making me feel sick.
“Faith!” I felt someone embrace me. Her face was buried in my chest. Her golden hair brushed against my nose.
“Adel… I’m dirty…” I was covered in splatters of blood. Adel shouldn’t be dirtied by such a thing.
“I don’t care! Faith…. Just now, you scared me. I felt like I was going to lose the Faith that I knew. The Faith that laughs and smiles and is kind to everyone. Who cares about the people she is close to. I felt like that Faith was being swallowed by some kind of darkness.” Adel’s voice trembled. Her shoulders were shaking. I could tell she was crying. But I did not know how to answer her. How was I supposed to explain something that no one else would even understand?
“Adel it’s fine… I will explain things. But not now…” I guess I should not hide things any longer, at least not from those who were close to me. It would be better for them to know about who I am than to have them think I am some kind of monster. I fear what might have happened if I was on my own with no one on my side.
