The minister of the corrupted officials of Leslie has taken a young girl hostage. He will able to do it somehow because of his ability. And not just, he also wasn't immobilized by Alex's kingdom, surprising him a bit more.

The young girl had a head full of golden hair, green eyes, and a freckled face.

One look at her and the two instructors from the military academy could determine that she was the youngest sibling of the current lord of Leslie.

"Have you been using this child to threaten her?" Theodore asked, his facial muscles twitching due to anger.

"Haha, so what? What truly matters right now is whether or not you want to see this young girl barely twelve years old die under my hands. The decision is yours to make. Leave now or live knowing you let a young and innocent girl die." Minister Diascia said, laughing without a care in the world.

He was a grown-ass man but didn't find it hard to use a young child to save his life.

Just as the minister started laughing again because of seeing them standing still and thinking that that was a sign of hesitation, the sweet voice of the young girl sounded in the surrounding.

"Mister, please don't care about my life and punish these bad people. I just hope you'll leave my sister alone. They had first used me to threaten her, making her fall into their traps, and then one of them used an ability to control her. Please save her."

Pa!

Just as she was about to say a few more words, a hard hand landed on her tiny face, injuring it badly.

"Shut up, you damned child!" Diascia said, raising his hand to threaten her once again.

Tears rolled out of her eyes as she looked at the two instructors pitifully, an indication that she no longer cared about her life.

She just wanted her sister to be free from the life of a puppet.

Her sister, the city lord of Leslie, has always protected her, but these demon scums have shattered her will to think and resist and took control of the moments of her life.

She no longer wanted to bring trouble to her sister.

Better yet, she has even gone as far as to think that if she hadn't existed, her sister wouldn't have fallen to the corrupted hands of the demons.

Instructor Alex's eyes bulged as he could see the thoughts in her mind reflected through her eyes, a special ability granted to him by becoming the vessel of the heart of Abhorrent, the harbinger of Devastation.

"You have gone too far, pig-faced bastard," Alex said in a calm voice containing traces of suppressed anger as he looked at Diascia.

"Hee, hee, hee, what are you going to do about it? I am right in front of you. Still, you haven't harmed a single hair on your hand. Your weakness is in my hand, instructors. Scram before I end up killing her, something you will regret your entire life, instructors." Diascia said, looking at them with a victory smug on his face.

"Looks like you have misunderstood the situation, piggy. Take a look at my hands." Instructor Theodore's voice sounded in his ears, making him look at him.

"How?" Diascia's eyes widened as he saw Janna floating next to Theodore.

Janna was his hostage but she was no longer in his hands.

Janna was his hostage, but she was no longer in his hands.

She has mysteriously appeared next to Theodore!

"This can't be."

The bunch of filth couldn't help but feel shocked arising in their hearts as they looked at the two instructors with fear in their eyes.

"Pay for your sins!" Instructor Alex said as dark energy burst forth from his body, making its way towards the minister of the officials of Leslie. Once it reached near him, the dark energy seeped inside his body, causing him to scream in pain, a delight in Alex's ears.

The minister felt as if thousands of ants were biting into his flesh. So much pain filled his body that blood began to leak out of all his holes.

Theodore teleported Janna a safe distance away from this place, saying in his mind, "Isn't something a child should see."

A few moments later, the instructor's demonic attack has changed the physical features of Diascia. He no longer looked like a human but more like a paste of meat with a mouth and consciousness.

"Gah! What have you done to me? Kill me, you bastard. Let me die!"

Even in such a state, he could clearly feel thousands of shattered pieces of bone stabbing into his flesh from the inside. And also the pain caused by his organs and brain turning to mush assaulting his soul again and again.

"This is the representation of your sins. Something you have earned by committing evil endlessly."

Alex had the demonic power that Varth possesses.

His Heart of Abhorrent allowed him to inflict sinner with pain equal to their sins.

The sinner will suffer alive, no matter how badly his body gets damaged, even if that means the body getting shaped into a paste of meat.

Death wasn't possible.

Not till he pays off the debts he had earned by committing crimes.

"Disgusting to the very end!" Alex sad, increasing the bastard's sense of pain tenfold.

"Gah!" A painful moan sounded in everyone's ears, making them fear for their lives.

If they knew somethings horrifying was going to happen to them for committing unforgivable crimes, they would have never dared to do anything bad.

"Ha, ha, ha." The mouth forming on instructor Alex's hands, neck, and another visible area of his body laughed out loud, sounding eerie to everyone.

"Who should I break next?"

Many pissed their pants as they got looked at by Alex's eye sockets as black as the abyss. Some sharted their pants, a horrendous smell permeating the surrounding.

"Stop using your demonic power, Alex." Instructor Theodore said, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"I can't help but want to kill all of these scums. Nothing has changed since then. I was a victim of their crimes. And they are still here even after I killed them all with my own hand. Filth like them keeps on popping in every world, everywhere I go. I can't escape this darkness, Theo. This world, this world is wrong." Instructor Alex said, darkness bursting out of his eyes, slowly but steadily changing the fabric of reality.

The hatred he had for Demi-humans was because of a reason. He was a victim of their crimes, treated as a lab rat, locked in a dark and cold place, and experimented on for years.

He was but a child when he got kidnapped by human traffickers. All of them happened to be Demi-Humans. They sold him to crazy bastards that messed with his body daily.

His captors treated him to the worst of experiments in the name of trying to create the strongest weapon for the Demi-Humans.

The mad Demi-Humans scientist did succeed in the end.

They had created an ultimate weapon by merging the Heart of Abhorrent with the body of a human, Alex.

The ultimate weapon power increased from nothing to the King Realm Evolutionary Stage overnight.

Alex got the strength of the King Realm, becoming able to create a Kingdom out of his ability.

And the moment he did so, he killed all his captors before heading out to take his revenge, killing senselessly as the Heart of Abhorrent took control of his body.

He didn't stop until he got his hand over to him by the Emperor of Night, Elliot.

He had always thought that the Demi-Humans were the cause of misery he suffered.

But now, his very race, the humans were trafficking humans to make a profit.

That too in a time of war!

So, he snapped and began thinking that a world will be a better place if he cleans it from all beings.

"Did you already forget what happened the last time you gave in to your desires and accepted the power of Abhorrent?" Instructor Theodore said, looking at him with a severe expression, and at the same time, suppressing the aura bursting out of his body with a greater pressure of his own.

Just as Alex was about to lose control of himself, he felt ice-cold water being poured on his body, helping him cool down and think rationally.

"I haven't." He said, looking at his guardian with a look that said, I am sorry!

He didn't want to go back to the hell of a planet and freeze to death. Definitely.

"I don't want to beat you back to your senses. So, keep it controlled while you still can." Theodore warned again before looking away from him.

"What should we do with the rest of them?" Alex asked as he pointed at the captives immobilized by the power of his Ability Kingdom.

"Isn't it obvious?" Theodore said, a murderous smile forming on his face.

"Huh? Don't tell me you are planning to do that?" Alex said, knowing full well that he was going to punish them in his old-fashioned way.

"Yes!" Theodore nodded.

"You are!"

"The victims of their crimes and the people that suffered under their hand will decide how their life ends. We will only look at it from afar." Theodore said.

"You've always done things this way," Alex complained, feeling tired of his way of administering justice.

Alex liked to beat and kill the criminals and the bad guys with his very hands.

Theodore, on the other hand, liked it the other way around.

"Well, this is the way I chose to deal justice hundreds of years ago. And it will never change." Instructor Theodore said, taking off his pair of eyeglasses.

"It isn't too bad, but I still think it would be better if you leave their fates up to my hand." Instructor Alex said, licking his lips.

Theodore didn't reply and merely activated his ability, one he hasn't used in years.

The name of his ability was Give and Take, something that forced him to the top of the power ladder, to the point where even the Emperor of Truemight fears battling him.

"You're stripped of your rights to contain even an ounce of power for the pain you've inflicted on the others," instructor Theodore said as he looked at the criminals with eyes covered in abstruse symbols.

As the criminals heard his words, they felt their strength leaving their bodies.

"The ones who committed the seven cardinal sins, giving nothing but filth to the society, I give you a hundred thousand times amplification to pain. A touch of a single needle will feel like a mountain crushing your body."

The sounds of bones breaking sounded out in the very next moment as the gentle winds became powerful enough to compress their flesh and bones.

"To all of you, I bestow you with eternity. For seven days, you have lost your right to die." Theodore said, snapping his fingers.

An instant after he said those words, woods shaped like crosses protruded from under the ground of Leslie.

"Gah!"

The criminals shouted, exploding their lungs as they got nailed to the stakes.

"The ones nailed to the stakes are the bastards that kidnapped your beloved, selling them for gold and jewelry. They are no powerful, unable to move even a single pinkie. You may do as you like to them for seven days. There's no need to hold back. They won't die even if you dismember them into a thousand pieces." Theodore's voice boomed out, reaching into the ears of the ones living in misery.

They came out of their homes like rats and cockroaches crawling out of their holes, holding weapons in their eyes, murderous desires brimming in their eyes

God has finally heard their prayers, the thought.

After gratefully bowing to him and worshipping him in their hearts, the poor people who lost their children and beloved to the hands of kidnappers turned to the bastard nailed on the stakes.

Then, painful howls reached the clouded night skies.

"I want to join in on the fun, too!" Alex exclaimed, gazing at the festival of cleansing evil showcased in the streets of Leslie with a desire to participate brimming in his eyes.

"Quiet down and let the people do their work," Theodore said, teleporting before the rooftop of the city lord, sitting next to Janna.

"Mister?" Janna said, looking at him with eyes widened in happiness.

Theodore patted her head, and said, "Everything's fine now. Sleep. The moment you wake up, the city will return back to being normal."

His eyes contained hypnotizing power and forced Janna into a peaceful sleep.

"What else do we need to do?"

"Save the children from the orphanage. Heal the mind and soul of the city lord. Call for reinforcement. And send a report of what we encounter here to the Federation. They will deal with the rest." Theodore said lazily yawning as he covered his bleeding eyes with a crimson piece of cloth.

"You should have let me do all the work. You'll go blind at this rate." Alex said, worrying about him.

"I would already be blond fighting you to death if I had allowed you to take care of everything in Leslie," Theodore replied in a calm voice.

They decided to return to the academy before the Sunrise.
