The sharp pain in his chest gradually became unbearable, and Roy slowly stood up, unconsciously clenching the dagger.

The room was littered with corpses, rivers of blood flowing, and the vision was only a blinding scarlet.

And all of this was made by him. It was he who used the sword in his hand to destroy all of this.

"If possible...... I really want to live in a quiet village. ”

"The two of them fled together and fled to a distant village, where they lived quietly......"

The girl's words came to his mind, but then they disappeared.

Instead, there is a strong grief and obsession in the chest—a heavy, dark, vengeful obsession.

There is no turning back.

There's only one thing to do right now.

Holding his determination in the palm of his hand, the boy walked out of the house.

-

Running back and forth through the robbers' stronghold, Roy neatly slaughters drug-addicted men.

Most of them were weak, delirious, and defenseless, and even the slightest resistance could not stop the teenagers.

This was the first time that the constant killing made him unable to think, and he only felt that the dark emotions in his heart gradually spread, and all kinds of feelings became numb.

After killing all the robbers, Roy finally made his way to Ix's house.

Not feeling the slightest nervousness or flinching, only an endless hatred and anger dominated him, and the boy kicked open the door of the robber leader's room.

"What's going on?" the tall man sat at the table in civilian clothes, but his saber hung from his waist.

Unlike the defenseless bandits under his command, the leader had never used the drug, and he was sober and calm.

Seeing the young man's bloodstains and the dagger in his hand, Ix seemed to guess what was happening: "You are still not honest. You made that medicine, right, for this day, how many people have you killed?"

"The members of this gang of bandits, all but you, are dead. ”

"Where's Mexia?"

With the girl's scars and sluggish face in front of her, Roy gritted his teeth and said, "It's dead too." ”

"Bastard!" the man slammed the table, got up and drew his sword, pointing it straight at the boy, "What did my daughter do, you actually killed her?"

Becoming more and more unbearable to bear the sharp pain in his chest, Roy had no intention of defending, and preemptively struck forward, raising his sword and rushing straight towards the other party.

Seeing the young man's movements, Icks jumped over the wooden table with his feet on the seat, and condescendingly slashed longitudinally.

The blades collided with each other, making a screeching metallic sound.

Strength competition is not his strong point, Roy was about to adjust the angle, suddenly a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his body involuntarily retreated.

"Boy, do you dare to do anything with me?" kicked the boy to repel him, and Icks immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue, "Funeral Mehia, take your life!"

Without time to get up, Roy quickly rolled to the right, dodging the bandit leader's slashing attack.

At the same time, he instinctively stretched out his leg and swept to the left, and sure enough, he kicked his opponent's lower plate, tripping the man with an unsteady center of gravity.

Taking the opportunity to kick Ix's long sword away, the young man quickly got up, and was about to swing his sword to slash down, but suddenly he was knocked to the ground head-on, and the short sword in his hand also fell to the side.

Lying on his back, Roy immediately found that his neck was pinched by the other party, and it was difficult to breathe for a while.

"I knew that today, I shouldn't have kept you in the first place, and Hamilo was killed by you, right?" Icks clamped the boy with his left hand and took out a sharp dagger from behind his waist with his right hand.

Without waiting for a response, the man continued: "Taller than her, that stupid woman actually treats you as a pet, it's really self-inflicted. But my daughter, Mexia, what did she do that you killed her too?"

Uh...... unable to breathe and starved of oxygen to his brain, Roy's vision began to blur, and he vaguely saw Icks raise the dagger.

"I want to avenge my family, go down and meet them, and I hope the dead can be reunited underground. The man's words came from his ears.

- Dead people.

As his consciousness faded away, Roy's memory was suddenly awakened.

The warm family of childhood, the burning village, the scene of the tragic death of his parents and sister, the girl's careful bandaging posture for him, and the appearance of crying for his worry...... Scenes flashed before his eyes, and the final scene was fixed on Mejia's last smile.

The important people are dead and can no longer see each other.

He is already alone, and their great revenge has not yet been avenged, so he can't just die here.

Barely reaching out with what little strength he had left, Roy gripped the dagger desperately, allowing the blade to slice through the flesh.

As if he hadn't expected this, Ix was taken aback, and the strength of his grip on the boy's neck weakened slightly.

"Ahhhh......hh

With his right hand groping for the ground beside him, the boy finally grasped his short sword and stabbed it into his opponent's neck with all his might.

Blood gushed out as he drew his sword, feeling the power that was restraining him relax instantly, Roy raised his leg and kicked away the man who leaned over to suppress him.

Seeing Ix's tall body lying in a pool of blood and gradually ceasing to struggle, the boy slowly stood up and breathed in the air.

The enemy is dead, Roy looks down at the man's corpse, and the family feud is finally avenged, and the blood debt is paid in blood.

But why don't you feel the slightest joy or satisfaction?

The real feeling of personally killing the enemy also quickly faded, and soon became impossible to find.

Roy was suddenly at a loss: why on earth was he doing all this?

All these years of forbearance, countless suffering, all the efforts, just for today, I should be very happy.

But why can't you feel so lost, why is there only infinite emptiness in your heart?

Clenching his dagger, Roy leaned down and cut off Ix's head, grabbing his hair and holding it in his hand.

But apart from the head of his enemies, he had nothing, his family, his lovers, and his peaceful life all lost forever.

The head of the enemy, taken. A lifelong wish has been accomplished. What's next?

There is no way to return to the peaceful life of the past, and there is no way to go to the bright future that the girl looks forward to.

No one answered, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of blood dripping from the skull in his hand to the ground.

Why did the voice sound so infuriating, Roy angrily threw the head of his enemy into the distance.

After many years, his father's words suddenly sounded in his ears again: "Do your best to help others and be an excellent person." It is our mission as pharmacists to ensure that everyone can live a healthy and happy life. ”

Perhaps, my father's "excellent people" think like that.

But in order to avenge his family, he embarked on a path that completely went against his father's expectations.

originally planned to forget the hatred and start a new life together, but in the end, his hands were still stained with too much blood after all.

Somehow, what appeared in Roy's eyes at this moment was the girl's smile after he stabbed the short sword into her chest with his own hands.

"Mehia......" The boy fell to his knees and wept bitterly.
