《Hatred: The Journey of the Madman [Old]》Ch 32: My friend
Advertisement
After waiting for our guest to appear I decided to go down from the tower. It would be rude not to welcome the guest.
With my true body still in the shelters, I will fool my enemy. My clone looks like me when I didn't have wings and looked like a normal kid with gray skin
After waiting for a while I could see a silhouette appearing. Our guest is a middle aged man with a full beard. He has a sturdy big body and is 2.30m in height. As he spots me he made an interested face and picked up his speed. He instantly stood in front of me with a stern face. Looking closer at him I can see his eyes with gleaming with a light.
His eyes radiated that he is determined. He has an overbearing presence and carried himself with a noble demeanor.
He wears an expensive looking knights armor. That armor is not bad quality wise but these richly ornamented look is not my style.
Before I could greet him he cut me of and asked.
"Hey kid where is everybody."
"Ah! Are you a white knight?" I asked him. I better pretend to be a kid. Let's see what he is up to.
"Kid can't you recognize a holy knight? What is a white knight?"
"Ah! Such a disappointment. I thought you were someone great."
The holy knight turned red and was fuming.
"We holy knights are the real deal son. We get our commands from the Goddess Chadera's chosen and sometimes from the goddess herself."
"So what? You are just the dogs of the goddess. The stupid church of light doesn't move me at all. What is so great about Chadera? The mad god is thousand times more awesome."
"Wh- what are you saying? How dare you. You are lucky that you are still a child or else humph."
"Humph you have eyes yet fail to realize the greatness of the mad god."
"You rascal how dare.. ''sigh" I don't have time for this, tell me where your king is."
"Screw off, our lord has no time for insignificant people like you. In front of my king you are just like a hot fart,your body is warm and you smell. He only has eyes for his own farts and the ones that are strong and loyal."
"You"
"You rude old man. You come charging right into my face and demand answers. Don't you think it is kind of rude of you for being such an impolite old fart. At least tell me your name and what you want."
The old man eyes widen in surprise.
"Hooooh. You are quit a cheeky brat. If you keep on playing dumb than don't blame me for being impolite."
"Hah. Look at you talking like your some kind of big shot yet resorting to such underhanded method. What kind of holy knight are you, threatening an five year old kid. Are all the holy knights shameless?"
The old knight stiffened and looked kind of startled.
"You- son... Forgive me." He sighed and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"That's the attitude old man.See you can do it if you try. So go ahead and tell me your name and what you want."
"I am Roberto van Libera. I am a holy Knight. Please tell me where everybody is and where your king is."
"Can't you tell by yourself? Can't you use some magic to find out?"
The old man took a step back. He forced a smile and said,.

"I am not specialized in detecting. There are others for that job."
"How lame. That's good."
It is time time to reveal myself. I am tired of acting like a child.I want to see his jaw drop when he finds out that I am Thorus the Madman.
"Why?"
"Sorry how rude of me let me introduce myself. I am Thorus the Madman. King of Furor, mad god bless her."
The eyes of the knight widen and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Hahahaha, you the king of furor? Don't give me that shit son. Now answer my questions."
"What? Why can't I be him."
"The King of Furor looks like a true demon with wings and dark eyes."
"Just because I don't look like that right now, doesn't mean I am not the king of Furor. This is just my untransformed form. If you don't believe me let me punch you once. You wouldn't be scared from a punch of a five year old."
"Hahahaha, stop kidding me. Go ahead but becarful not to hurt yourself."
The man had a mocking face.
I will my soul force to my legs and dash towards the knight. The knight was startled for a second. Instantly appearing in front him I swing at him with all my might. Before my punch lands I will out my soul force in a explosive manner. *Boom*. The moment where my fist hits his armor a magical magic formation forms and shatters . My fist didn't stop there with my mighty force I put a big dent on his armor.
The old man wasn't blown away but a shock expression shows on his face.
"You look pale, are you okay?"
"You... How? My armor is enhanced to withstand magical and physical attacks. How can mere five year old do so much damage to it... Unless you are..." "Hughhhn"
*Plaaahaa* the old man spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Now that you know, tell me what you want."
The knight wiped away his blood from his mouth. After he realize he had been injured he revealed a shocked face with mouth wide open. Ah, there is a jaw drop nice. I should begin to count the times some one drops their jaws because of me.
He closed his mouth and gulped down his blood. He caught and regained his noble posture.
"That saves time. You have to come with me."
"Sure."
"Wha-? Don't you want to know more?"
He seems to be surprised that I don't want to know more details.
"Let it be. Don't spoil the fun. It is kind of boring nowadays, so what is the harm in tagging along?"
Let's see what will happen. Even if something where to happen to my clone It wouldn't be a problem. If they killed me I would have enough time to set up counter measurements. Also I would travel through the land to gain more insight.
"You don't know what awaits you. I wouldn't be so carefree if I knew. Don't think too highly of yourself just because you caugh me off guard with the punch of yours."
"Don't worry I won't run away. I might be five years old and strong but that doesn't mean I
am full of myself like a spoiled brat. Blind with their naivety and arrogance they bite of more than they can chew. Despite my age I am not ignorant of the depths of the earth and the highs of the sky."
"Kid.. or should I say King Thorus. Your humbleness is really admirable. You are nothing like a five year old. You look like a kid but talking to you is like talking to a wise elder. So I will be treating you like a grown up. Not because you are a genius young child. Because you are the King of Furor."

"What makes you so sure?"
"My armor is enhanced to withstand magical and physical attacks and you put a dent on. Not even a SS rank is able to do that much damage. You put a frigging huge dent on it."
The old man said and looked a bit sad.

POV Holy Knight Roberto van Libera
I am absolutely sure that he is the King of Furor. I can see it in his eyes. These eyes have seen things, even thought his eyes look kind of dead they are still radiating a faint glimmer. His punch caught me off guard and did minor injuries.
What kind of force was that? If his punch was a mana based attack or physical than it wouldn't even leave a scratch. The armor is made to withstand SS rank attacks.
It is good that he is not interested to know why he has to come with me. If he knew that the Goddess Chadera directly ordered for him to be brought to her, than he might be not so cooperative. I have to keep an eye on him. He is no push-over, he is a monster. A child who is a monster.
"Old man, before we go let me get a few things. Come with me it isn't far from here."
What does he want to do now? If he thinks about escaping he should forget it. Behind my back I have a holy weapon gifted by the goddess herself. It is a big two hander that is almost as big as me.
"Well let's make it quick."
Walking down the streets of Furor I am impressed. I thought they would have more crude buildings and pretty savage conditions. This city looks more like the human''s one. I wonder how they build the wall and the tower so quickly. They say the walls and tower appeared in an instant.
"Where are we going? What are you taking me???."
"That's a surprise."
I frown and tag along. It is better to keep him in the mood. Less trouble that way.
Thorus stopped in front of a big workshop.
"Come with me."
I nodded and we entered the workshop. There were big things coated with a white fabric. I guess that these things are sculptors. But what is he going to do with one?
"Ah. There it is." Thorus approach a big sculpture that is cover with a white fabric. The Sculpture was about 8 meter in length and 6 meters in high.
"What are you going to do with such a thing. I hope you don't plan to gift a sculptor of the mad god or even possibly you?"
"It is something else. Don't worry." Thorus said in a reassuring way and waved his hand.
"I have to see it. I need to check if it is appropriate."
"*sigh* I was planning to make it a big surprise. I will show you as long you keep it a secret until I reveal it."
"Okay son show me."
As the fabric was pulled away it struck me. This this this.... What in the...
I am stunned. The sculpture is so profound. This unholy yet holy aura it emits is hard to handle.
I am dizzy and the blood rushes up in to my brain and my third leg.
Such beauty, this is unheard of. There is a young looking woman on all four. She has the body of a pretty goddess. She raises her bosom up in the air in a lewd way and looks over her shoulder wit passionate eyes. The pretty face seems so innocent.
This this... What is this feeling of excitement and sorrow I get?
For this woman I would ditch my wife and would do anything just to...
What am I thinking. I can't believe it. I must stay on the path of the pure.
Thorus noticing my change in posture smiled as if he knows what I was thinking.
"Did you... Make this?"
"Yeah, I made it, nice isn't it. A virgin maiden with the face of an angel is doing something so lewd. Holiness and unholiness combined give this work a life like feel to it. It is like she is animate and with us here in this workshop right?"
"Yeah, for a moment I thought she was real. And the length of the skirt is just right. It is like you can see yet can not. And these strange knee socks cover most the leg and reveal the right amount of skin. What kind of outfit is that?
It looks like a uniform. I have never seen such divine design. I never thought that a clothed woman could look much more appealing than a naked woman."
This guy did it? He is a monster I tell you. A genius that only appears every 100.000 thousand years. This flawless piece of art, I want to know more about this kind of world.
"Hahahaha, you seem to know your stuff. The maiden wears a sailor uniform. I think we are more similar than you might think. How about for the sake of our knew friendship let me turn that sculpture in to a real woman. Than you can have her. She will be like a real person."
"Yyou no one except the goddess Chadera can create new life out of nothing. You are just a mortal .... Impossible. Even if you make her alive somehow, she would have no soul, it wouldn't be the same as the real deal."
"Humph for me this is child's play. I swear on the honor as a man, I am the real deal. I can make it work, I can see it in your eyes. Your wish for it to work. Just give it a try. Why should I deceive you my friend?"
It is like he can read my thoughts.
"My friend... Well I guess there is no harm in trying. I believe you."
I want to believe it... If..If by any chance it's the truth. If he makes her animate and with a soul I would kowtow to him. I would ditch my wife and beg him to take me in as a disciple. I would still be loyal to the goddess Chadera but I just want experience new worlds. Worlds where no one ever was.
"If it works, I will kowtow to you and beg to be taken as a disciple. Of course I will not fight for your cause."
"Well, I see no harm in teaching you otaku culture. It doesn't involve material arts or magical spells."
"What needs to be done in order for it to work?"
"I need your armor. Believe me it will work, one hundred percent. If it fails I can restore your armor and give it back to you repaired."
There is nothing to lose. I trust him. Somehow I get the feeling that if he tells you that he can do it than he'll do it.
I give him the piece of armor. He stares at it and seems to be thinking.

Pov Thorus
Hmm I could make a vessel with that armor. This armor is legit, it's a high level magical armor. I could make a woman vassal out of it that looks like in the sculpture. Should I make an android? Nah that's not like a living being..
Or should I put a part of my soul splitter in the vassal. This could be riskily but I can manage it to make it work with just a tiny bid of my soul splinter. I just chip off a tiny bit.
Let's see. I'll make it have blonde hair and blue eyes.That combo is just a classic, you can't go wrong with the classics. The female vassal should have no enchantments. I just make her with some tweaks.
I'll add a bigger manapool and the ability to heal really fast. The faster regeneration would come in handy when the female vessel receives a scar. Like this I don't need to do a lot of maintenance on my new toy.
"I need you to leave for while. I need to be alone."
"You wouldn't think of running away."
"Rest assured my friend. How can I do such a thing to a friend."
"Why can't I watch? Will you going to use a secret technique not supposed to be seen by me."
"It is a delicate process. I found a legacy technique that was really ancient. It was a scroll and on the scroll where some strange symbols. When I picked the scroll up it emitted a blue ray that went in to my head. Since than I know a technique called "Supreme summon technique that defie heaven".
It is a technique that grabs a soul from the pool of regeneration and binds in to a vassal."
"This..This wouldn't that be immoral?"
"Why? They would be able to be reborn in a sexy body. I will aim for a female don't worry. Let's see if you have the chance. Now please wait outside."
"Good luck my friend." He says and leaves.
I close my eyes and focus on the armor I am going to convert. Thinking of the features I being to convert the armor.
.....
After 5 minuets of forming the vessel and chipping out a piece of my soul splitter. I insert my soul shard in to the vessel. Since my soul splitter of my clone is still connected with my main soul core, I can use the converting ability.
After I fuel the vassal with a lot of soul force it awakens. I have now vision of three persons. I need to get used to this.
