Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 159: Phantom vision

The man before him was bald and his armor was battered and seemed quite old. Nix eyed him up and down as the man clenched his fist.

"Do I know you, sir?"

The man questioned politely.

"Yes... You don't remember?"

Nix questioned coldly looking at his eyes.

'Still didn't change huh? Vengeful... He had manifested a particularity. Since I abandoned them in the forest?'

Nix didn't wait any longer nor asked any questions. He abruptly swung his chain and entangled his hand and abruptly pulled it after shapeshifting the chain into spiky. As he pulled it after they tightly dug into his muscles, they tore his flesh and separated his arm.

He was not obliged to ask questions. It was obvious that this guy succeeded in surviving the forest. However mysterious it may sound he didn't question him since he possesses another way to find it.

"Ahhhh"

Patrick fell to the ground squealed to the top of his lungs.

The people surrounding him were baffled the one who acted rude shivered in fear as Nix turned towards him.

"I am...I am sorry."

He said and ran from there.

Followed by him, His teammates ran away.

[Class ability- Phantom vision]

This was one of the four new class abilities he gained after obtaining Dark medium as his class.

{Phantom vision}

(Description: It is the ability to see through the soul's experiences.)

Though its description was pretty vague he wanted to test it. This was neither an illusionist's ability nor a hypnotist's ability. This is pretty much an ability that could let him find answers and leads to the questions he may have in mind.

Near the platform was a Krigon and it seemed to be Patrick's. He was continuously screaming and tried to crawl towards the Krigon.

Nix slowly walked towards Patrick and severed all his other arm with the sword.

"Kuakk! You bastard! Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

He frowned.

"I am Nix. Don't you remember?"

Nix asked coldly and tangled his leg with his chain and attached it to the saddle of the Krigon as he was speaking.

Patrick's pupils dilated noticing what Nix was about to do.

"No! No! What are you doing? Please... You bastard! I didn't do anything to you."

Nix was not in the mood to fight the group. It was just that he felt his vengeful singularity as a threatening trait and seemed as though he manifested it because of him.

"We will speak after leaving this town."

He uttered and mounted on the Krigon and kicked it.

The people didn't dare to interfere in the dispute. No matter how much law was implanted into the town most people wouldn't tend to interfere in others' conflicts. They were spectators for a long time ago and still the same. Empyrean's law was never solid and strict. There were several holes in it and there is nothing to discuss regarding it. 

Cities under royal dynasties can be given an exception but, they were certainly nothing like the strict modern world like earth. Rapes, murders, thefts or any criminal activity one came continuously happens every day in every location possible no matter how strict they were punished they still happened.

"Ahh! Ahh!"

The burning feeling literally wanted Patrick to commit suicide and Nix did not pay heed to it and continued to race through the streets until he reached the walls.

The guards in the gate blocked him and began questioning not knowing who he was since they were newly migrated immigrants that joined as the town's soldiers.

"Sir, what you doing is wrong..."

They said pointing their weapons.

Nix opened his coat that he was wearing to hide his armor and around his neck was a golden chain attached to a pendant which was his clan symbol.

It was Remo's proposal for the original members and the people in high authorities of his clan to wear it. This was also information about it circulated around the town folks to understand they were the authoritative figures of the town.

"I see... Sir"

The guard nodded his head and rotated the gate wheel.

Patrick laid limp as he was not even unable to scream. Within a few minutes, he reached the middle road that connected Babel and dismounted the Krigon. They certainly made a progress faster than one could anticipate. They created roads to the labyrinth, the Uran forest, and the Draconian village.

Nix dragged Patrick from the road to the thick forest and made him lean on a tree.

He was yet to know about the Phantom Vision's quirks and disadvantages so, he didn't do it inside the town.

[Class ability- Phantom vision activated]

As soon as it activated he locked his eyes onto Patricks and abruptly he was able to find a display of videos opening up in front of him like a video player on a computer.

'This is like a collection of videos...'

He muttered and concentrated on the third video where he was lying on the floor. Nix couldn't help but skip it since it seemed quite disgusting. The video was showing Patrick and his brothers getting raped by the monkeys as they screamed.

Both his brothers died due to the trauma and Patrick was also badly able to survive. His breathing faltered also his body was disabled by Nix.  The gorillas abandoned them and left them.

Patrick screamed Nix's name as his driving force for his survival until he manifestated a Singularity. A man walked towards him who possessed long hair and long beard.

He dragged him to his hide house in the forest. He seemed like a guy who was surviving in that wild for years. He nursed him for months. The system also gave Patrick a alert that he didn't survive so he was abandoned for good. 

He took it as a opportunity and began training with in six months a new set of people were teleported into the forest. He guide them and got teleported. 

After that his life seemed atrocious as he committed crimes after crimes without even joining training lodgement he endeavoured he evil path. Nevertheless his purpose of life seemed only about killing Nix.

"I shouldn't have left you alive."

Nix said and slayed his throat in an instant.

'So, Now Phantom vision is like a detective ability to find leads and clues.'

He said to himself.

{Hmm, you've grown cold aren't you.}

Astaroth said with a smile.

He once again mounted the Krigon after inserting his dagger into the pouch.

'I have yet to make up with Rachael...'

He thought as he crossed the road. 

Indeed it was true. Rachael didn't meet up with him after the bombarding of Lerinare either. He used her members as his expendable pawns which was very much a douche move. 

Cinzia was upset about Jack and Gregory's death too. Though she didn't express her remorse he was still able to sense it. She even made a funeral for them. Nix was burdened in all sort of ways and he was now saddled up by the fact that he cannot return to earth.

He stopped his Krigon near a boulder and opened his inventory and took a bottle of whiskey.

{Don't take alcohol in times of adventures...}

Astaroth advised him.

"Tch,"

Nix clicked his tongue and began to chug down the bottle.

'What is my purpose?'

He thought inwardly feeling trapped by all the sides.

He had lost the track of time and his goals. It has already been one year. Is his parents safe? Will he be able to rejuvenate the life he had lost? Can he wash off the responsibility of murdering thousands? 

All sorts of doubts engulfed him. His path as took several turns and he abandoned his goals. He knew all well that he cannot get into a peaceful life anymore. He was in the middle of a mess.

Gods were trying to make him a pawn in their game even if wasn't willing.

{If you wonder what your role in this world. You have to ask yourself and know yourself first.}

Astaroth said taking a seat on the large boulder while looking down on him.

'You have to ask yourself... Know yourself first!'

It was asthough Astaroth could able to predict what Nix was feeling. 

He felt a sudden glimer of hope. If he needed clues he'd need ask someone who had seen this worlds end and what the Gods purpose were.

The one who knew these things were himself. To be precise it was his past version Nix. No matter however he gets diverted from the goals. Nova manifestation was directing him to a certain direction. If he just followed it and just in the right time he'd be slowly able to unravel what his purpose was.

"Thanks Astaroth..."

Nix said with a slight smirk and mounted the Krigon once again.
