Will of chaos

Pov Ivan:

I was inside the Dungeon spending my day with my daughter who was currently tied to a chair while I fed her a delicious cake.

“I don’t know why, but I’m uneasy that you gave the tremor.” (I)

“I’m worried that you pulled me out of the laboratory, I was almost discovering a new way to freeze blood while still inside the body, a much more effective way…” (Lyra)

“You’re like your mothers, your obsession with work knows no bounds, which only causes this pile of bones to worry.” (I)

“I don’t see the problem with being dedicated to my work, especially when it’s so much fun.” (Lyra)

“When was the last time you slept?” (I)

“It was this morning after I got up to go…” (Lyra)

“You haven’t been home for two days and according to your own assistants, you haven’t even stopped your research to eat.” (I)

“Has it been two days? Time really flies without us realizing it.” (Lyra)

“…” (I)

Sigh

This daughter of mine only causes me concern, I would like to see some grandchildren, with the amount of increasingly frightening enemies that the master makes, I am afraid of really dying one day, I would like to know that someone will be taking care of my little princess with love and affection when I’m gone if that day comes.

I let go of the ropes that bind her which were almost melted due to a yellow liquid, so I tell her to eat alone while I lead the conversation to other subjects that are not about Alchemy or this girl will just talk about the same subject without stopping until she lose in your own mind again. ．

Suddenly one of Layla’s Fairies arrives to give information, when I hear the name “Creature of the Abyss” coming out of the little Fairy’s mouth the images of that night come to my mind.

That mindless creature destroying everything.

Killing the loves of my life.

Deforming my little daughter’s body.

Blood and bodies everywhere.

The pain of dying alone in the dark while guarding what was left of my little girl.

“FATHER! Please calm down.” (Lyra)

“Huh!?” (I)

Suddenly I feel my daughter’s hands holding my skull as she looks directly at me, for some reason I had been lost in thought for a few seconds and I hold her hands with mine.

“I’m fine, my daughter.” (I)

“No, you’re not fine at all and we both know why.” (Lyra)

“…” (I)

I can’t hide anything from her, at least not with this anger rising inside of me.

——————-

After a few minutes, my daughter and I went out of the Dungeon after getting our supplies, for me it was just my sword that I left in my room, but for my daughter, it was an outfit that had to change along with a big bag.

Both her clothes and her bag had plenty of space to store potions in small glass vials so that my daughter’s every step was accompanied by the clinking of glass, at least before she noticed my reaction and activated the magic that removes the noise.

When I’m outside and I look up I don’t see anything, but for some reason, I can still feel traces of the same filthy presence I felt that day, that alone fills me with fury.

I heard the Space Fairy who came a short time later telling about the Creatures of the Abyss.

Each time she cited the strengths or weaknesses of these filthy things, I remembered excerpts from my battle against this monstrosity, our attacks did almost no damage and its regeneration erased the traces of any damage we managed to do, the only damage really that was working was the one using the vitality.

“(No matter how many years pass, this pain never goes away, it’s always there to remind you that I wasn’t able to protect them…)” (I)

I wouldn’t miss this chance to fight these things, I’ve waited too long to find these things to have the pleasure of destroying their bodies with my bare hands, I wouldn’t miss this chance for anything.

Even my daughter wanted to come, she may spend most of her days in the lab, but a genius really is scary for getting so much better with each training session.

My daughter and I entered through the door that the Spatial Element Fairy created, but when I realized I was alone, my daughter was not around and neither was anyone who entered with all of us through that door.

I was only worried for 1 second about my daughter before I remembered what they said, there is no risk of death here, this place was created for training by people much more powerful than the master, even he trusts these people.

“If Lyra is fine then the rest doesn’t matter, it might be good for her to have a little more combat experience on her own.” (I)

“Now this place…” (I)

I look around and immediately notice a big problem, I don’t feel life energy anywhere.

I am an Undead, and because of this I am used to being surrounded by vital energy that I can feel all the time, but in this place, apart from the vital energy or vitality of plants, there are no living creatures.

I was confused about it when I felt an Aura approaching, but when I focused my attention in that direction I still wasn’t feeling any life energy.

But it was unmistakable that there was something approaching, so I keep my sword in my hand while controlling my Aura to cover the sword, I still clearly remember the Fairy who created the door that brought me here saying that Auras were one of the weaknesses of Creatures of the Abyss.

I thought I would be calmer when I found that thing, but the moment it appeared I felt the same kind of presence as I did that night, a presence full of cruelty, insanity and death.

Before I knew it the hellish flames around me had turned black as they blended with my Aura, I could feel the hatred cloud my vision, but allowing it to continue, I couldn’t keep suppressing that hatred forever.

There was no one else around, so I don’t have to hold back, and I don’t have to worry about innocents or companions nearby.

So I let all the hate from that night well up to use as a weapon against this thing running in front of me.

“Death… DEATH DEATH DEATH!!!!” (I)

All he could think about was taking those things to pieces with pleasure until there was nothing left but dust.
