No More Pain For This Villain.



In this fiery scene, the raging flames made it nearly impossible for anyone to escape. The burning houses turned the entire area into a living hell, with people fleeing in every direction. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were not ordinary people.

They weren't elves, dwarfs, or even humans. Their complexions varied, and their heads bore menacing horns, while their bodies exhibited a range of strange and grotesque forms.

They were demons.

As chaos reigned, one of these demons stumbled in their frantic escape, their face scraping against the ground in their desperate flight.

The village was burning to crisps, a nightmarish inferno that devoured everything in its path. Flames leaped from building to building, devouring homes, market stalls, and even the ancient oak tree in the center of the village square. The once-cozy cottages were now charred skeletons, their wooden frames creaking and collapsing under the intense heat.

The acrid smell of smoke hung heavily in the air, making it difficult to breathe. The crackling of burning wood and the desperate cries of those trapped in the fiery maw echoed through the night.

Amidst this chaotic and destructive tableau, a lone silhouette emerged. It was a figure, seemingly unfazed by the destruction that surrounded them. Their steps were deliberate and measured, cutting through the smoke and chaos with an eerie calmness.

As they drew nearer, their features became more discernible. A hooded cloak concealed most of their identity,

If one could see clearly,they'd see that the hooded guy was dragging something with him.

Grabbed on the horn was a demon being dragged by the man while - behind him was a whole group of demons that did the same.

Dragged someone along them

Their eyes were unfocused and it was hard to discern meaning of their expression with those drooling faces and wobbling movements.

The fire scorched the skin and gave out a very unpleasant smell but none of them stopped,not even the hooded guy when his whole robe was almost on fire.

"Let Go of me!!????? Who are you !??" Cried the orc like face demon who was being dragged by the hooded guy,

None of them understood the reason what was happening and why was it happening?

It was all good a hour ago while he sat in his house trying to eat his hunt with his friends while drinking alcohol but someone just broke into his house along side other villagers.

They were his kin but now they all looked like they were under some sort of curse,they neither listened to him but just beat him to pulp.

*Tap*

The steps came to halt with a abrupt halt,

Hood was removed slowly and revealed a pair of horns on his forehead and dark pupils...not only pupil but the whole eye was dark.

"Remember me?" Riksar let go of the man's hair that he grabbed, His hand skeletal.

"Y-you!??" The demon was flabbergasted.

It's the same boy they- They raped his sister infront of him.

Riksar smiled at him, it was a very pure smile and said"Peek a boo,"

"Huh-" before the demon could react,He heard something to his left,it was screech.

Riksar chuckled sarcasticly before crouching down,"That's your mother right? And.....the girl with her is maybe your sister... your father had a daughter at this age, she's more like your daughter rather than your sister."

Riksar.... something felt off about him, it was as if- he was not there and was there at the same time.

"N-no!! I am sorry!!!" Demon apologized.

Why is he apologizing? Doesn't he enjoy this kind of thing? He asked Riksar the same questions when he was forcing and taking round with Riksar's elder sister....and laughing.

"Shhh,Be a good boy and watch." He pointed his boney finger at the mother daughter duo.

Or so he said. And then what happened was quite gruesome. The demon was forced to watch while his own kin... somehow, they seemed out of their minds as they began tormenting each other.

Riksar stood there, wearing a creepy smile and reveling in the feeling of overpowering them as he watched them torment each other in their madness.

He was happy.

[Is your revenge completed?]

The voice asked.

"Yeah," Riksar replied, his heart now filled with a sense of fulfillment and closure as he knew his revenge was finally complete.

[Ren Hilton's POV]

"Haa I am beat," I let my back fall onto the softness of the bed.

The rune crafting class was quite interesting but still standing like that was boring after a while.

'Hmm take a rest then,' Blaze jumped on the desk.

I turned my face and saw the moonlight that passed through the window curtains and the gentle breeze that was keeping the room cold.

"Nah, let's try that gift." I shot up and got towards the desk and pulled the convergence Amulet out of the drawer.

Putting the Amulet on around my neck, I can wear this thing anywhere because of how casual this looks.

'Like I said that dude got a good taste in this stuff.' Blaze jumped on the bed and then in my shoulder.

"You keep an eye on the door if anyone comes....well you can't do anything when I am in the void." I sighed.

"Why not show me how you travel through the shadows?" I asked.

'Okay,' Blaze jumped off to the floor,'You better be grateful for the demonstration.'

He-'Sorry I can't, I'd have to change my form and the room is too small.'

"..." I just stared at him.

'Hey!! Don't look at me like that!' Blaze was disappointment.

I focused my mana and poured it into the new Amulet.

The reason I asked for the S tier Amulet was because it allows the bearer to interact with the mana beast for longer period of time.

I felt myself falling,it was like tripping off the high plane to lower one.

And-

"..." I was there, I am in the void.

This place is the replica of the world but in the shadows.

I looked for Blaze who was moving, so they do move.

But then his shadow figure stopped and say down.

I looked outside my room and unlike first and second time the outside was not that distorted, atleast the few buildings around the dorm were fine ,the distortion can be seen a bit faraway.

Where the lawn and academy ground was floating creepy.

I tried to close the window but my hand went through, making me wonder why I wasn't falling to the first floor for some reason.

I passed through the door and then walked down the stairs and- I entered the rooms of other dormmates one by one.

They all were busy doing something - which I didn't disturb

This is not the real time,like last time.

I know that the time is here is faster than the outside world....or maybe not.

I am not sure how I am to use this skill- like this can be used to travel great distances quickly and gather information but then again I am not a Winged Pardus.

I reached the first floor and decided to take a stroll outside. The distorted surroundings made it feel like I was in a surreal dream. The grass on the academy grounds seemed to float, and the trees twisted in strange and unnatural ways. The academy building itself looked hauntingly beautiful under the moonlight....which was still their when moon wasn't in the sky.

I walked further, observing the other students who were still up and about. In the shadowy world, they appeared as mere specters, going about their activities in a ghostly manner. It was an eerie but fascinating sight.

And yeah, I spent about half hour in that realm.

Unlike last time, I was able to move much more distance without being pushed back, and the mana pool was larger than before, giving me the advantage of actually looking around.

So this is it.

Blaze uses this Umbra-mana Skill for transporting himself through shadows, and I can't use or grasp the theory yet, but it's clear that he jumps in this realm for a second and then immediately somehow retreats or breaks through to the other side.

And the distance is covered, is it because of his form? Or is this the same kind as the Spatial Shift?

But when doing the spatial shift, one has to break the space, but this isn't the space but some type of internal realm.

I looked at a figure walking from my front, it sure was someone with poise, like their posture was too uptight.

And as for the time, this means that this thing hasn't happened yet or it is happening, but if I interfere, then it'll give the reaction a bit late.

The understanding of time can also be studied here... atleast for both of the realms differences.

Eventually, I decided to return to the material world. With a focused thought, I willed myself back to the dorm room. The sensation of falling engulfed me once more, and in an instant, I was back in the real world.

I removed the convergence Amulet from around my neck, feeling a sense of accomplishment. This newfound ability was a valuable asset, and I couldn't wait to explore its potential further.

'Well, that was a successful test?' Blaze questioned.

"hmm I guess,"I agreed. "This Void has so much to offer, and I plan to make the most of it."

As I settled back into my room, I couldn't help but-

.... I think I know how to use this void.....for the my advantage.

Wait why don't I try using magic in there?

Wonder if I can use void to learn flying.
