Chapter 92
92 Fight no, slaughter
They quickly teleported and appeared in what appeared to be a desert. The purple sphere disappeared in the next instant, severing the connection between Kastil and her true body. Kastil felt her soul being ripped in two, a pain so strong her mind blanked for a second, unable to bear it.
“ARGHHH!” Kastil screamed in pain, but Selena’s father didn’t give him time to think. He used his superior position to kick Kastil in the back of the head, sinking his head into the sand and making him eat a mouthful of sand.
He grabbed the back of Kastil’s neck in a steel claw and lifted her, before slamming her head against the floor repeatedly. The blow raised a cloud of dust, but Selena’s father wasn’t satisfied with it.
“Even if I destroy your avatar here, you won’t die, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you get away easily. I’ll make you go through at least 1% of what my daughter had to go through.” He spoke in anger and frustration.
Although the hateful enemy who had hurt his daughter was at his mercy, he was unable to kill him. That frustration consumed his mind and increased the force of his blow. It was a well-known fact that a spirit would not die, even if its avatar was dragged to the opposite side of the world.
They would suffer immense pain and all the energy carried by the avatar would be lost, but that was it. Their consciousness would be moved back into their bodies once the avagares were destroyed.
“Enough!” Kastil screamed, releasing a shock wave that swept through her surroundings and swept Selena’s father away. Selena’s father twisted his body in the air like a cat and landed on his feet, causing Kastil to question his age for the umpteenth time.
Kastil staggered to her feet, cracks appearing on her face and slowly spreading to her neck. Amber energy leaked from his eyes like blood, but he glared at Selena’s father.
“I’m going to kill you. I swear I’m going to kill you, you old shit!!” Kastil screamed.
.....
“You keep calling me old this, old that, don’t tell me you don’t remember my name?” Selena’s father steadied his stance as he spoke, positioning his fists as if he were a boxer.
“Since when does a farmer waste his time naming his cattle?” Kastil spat the amber energy that flowed into her mouth and tried to mimic his posture, but her movements were clearly clumsy and amateurish. Kastil has always relied on her magic, considering physical fighting something only barbarians would do.
“You’re right. From your point of view, I’m just cattle, aren’t I? But I want you to know my name, so when you get back, you’ll know the name of the man who kicked your ass into oblivion. I’m Trevor Elfidis Elven, the father of the girl you abused.” Trevor ran toward Kastil as soon as he finished speaking, his fists shaking as he demanded blood.
Trevor got in front of Kastil in 2 steps, before pulling his right arm back and punching Kastil in the face. Kastil crossed her arms in front of her face as she reflexively closed her eyes, but the punch was just a feint and Trevor punched her in the ribs with his left.
Kastil was pushed nearly 10 meters, his feet digging reeds into the ground, but that was the full extent of the damage. He lunged forward while punching Trevor in the face, but the latter tapped his wrist lightly and redirected the thrust of the blow away and punched his right eye with all his might.
This time, he used the magnetic marking skill, causing the mana on the surface of his fist to cling to Kastil’s face upon impact. Kastil tried to grab Trevor in a bear hug, trying to trap him to use his superior physical prowess to his advantage.
Trevor easily read her movements and used the boost ability to jump out of her reach. Still in the air, he reached out and pointed at Kastil’s face while pulling his left fist back, propelling himself towards Kastil as the latter forcibly raised his head.
Trevor went down like a bullet while Kastil still tried to resist the pull, hitting his nose squarely, spreading out his nose against the face and exploding a shower of condensed amber energy instead of blood. Kastil was forced to his knees under the weight of the blow, a cloud of sand forming around him as a crater formed at his feet.
“You old shit!” Kastil yelled, his nose quickly snapping back into place. As his body was made of energy, a thought was all it took to mend any wounds, but he lost energy every time he was hit and again when he healed, reducing his physical prowess while widening the power gap between them..
Kastil tried to get up, but Trevor grabbed his head with both hands and pulled him down while kneeing him with the heavy hit skill. The shock wave threw him into the air before falling and rolling across the floor several times.
He hurriedly stood up as he spat out a mouthful of sand, but Trevor was already on his tail again, kicking your mouth open and making Kastil taste how bitter the boots tasted. Trevor put all of his weight on the foot, forcing Kastil’s chin against the floor.
Kastil angrily glared at Trevor and pointed at him, conjuring a sandstorm that forced Trevor to retreat. The mana contained in the sand was absorbed the moment it touched his armor, but his vision became blocked within the sandstorm and it entered through the slits in his helmet, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Kastil didn’t want to waste energy knowing that it would only serve to improve the enemy, but he needs a few seconds to breathe. The cracks on his face had increased in size and now spread to his chest. The avatar continually leaked energy and would soon be destroyed, but it refused to be destroyed without landing a single attack.
“You’ll pay for stepping on a God’s pride like that.” Kastil started to threaten him, but Trevor angrily cut him off.
“Step on your pride? You dare say that shit in front of me after what you did to my daughter? After turning her into a toy just to satisfy your own sick desire? I’m going to crush so much more than just the your pride!” Trevor screamed in anger, clenching his fists in anger and frustration.
He knew how rotten Kastil was inside, but he still let Selena go. He needed time to organize something as big as a riot and a rescue operation, but the guilt of knowing the abuse his daughter was suffering and not being able to do anything still weighed heavily on his heart.
“You lesser beings should be grateful to receive the attention of a superior being like me. If Selena had chosen to stand by my side, she would have become a queen, become immortal, and ruled the entire continent. But she chose a mere man, inferior to me in every way, so all I did was show her the power she discarded.
You are the same. Your family would have become royalty once my wedding to Selena was done. His authority and influence would have increased and with it the position of all the high elves in the realm. All you had to do was put your heads down and everyone would have benefited from it.
Now, I will kill your whole family left in Evergreen and the high elves will be branded traitors and made slaves.” Kastil’s smile widened the more he spoke, imagining Trevor would start screaming his indignation and rage, but his expression didn’t change.
“Fuck this.” It was the only answer he gave.
“Which?” Now it was Kastil’s turn to be shocked.
“As you heard, fuck that. You were so busy waiting for the birth of my grandson that you didn’t notice, but the families of my subordinates, as well as everyone close to me or who participated in the attack, were moved to the border.
The suicide soldiers who attacked the sprout were soldiers who had lost people they loved through their selfishness and were willing to die as long as it hurt them.
And as for my family and the other high elves, I couldn’t care less what happens to them. My family abandoned my daughter in her darkest hour, so I decided to do the same for them. As for the citizens, I feel bad for them, but I am a father before a duke and if I had to sacrifice them to save my daughter, I would do it a thousand times without hesitation.” Trevor spoke resolutely, his expression unchanging even as he spoke of the death of its people.
Kastil heard the truth in Trevor’s voice and realized that he truly valued his family above his people. Kastil tried to say something else, but the cracks widened even more and his body began to turn to dust. The amber energy and the constant damage pushed him to a limit and the use of magic was the final straw.
“Looks like my time is up. I’ll admit I lost this time, but I’ll mark you, old man. I’ll hunt you down. I’ll wash away this humiliation with your blood-” Kastil tried to make a villain speech, but Trevor paid him no attention and blew his head off with a punch.
