《Hero for Hire》Chapter 9: Pierce at the heart
Advertisement
Haru was moving so fast that no normal human eye could see. His fist was so fast that Touya could barely block the attack by using thd sword. Even through Haru was using his fist, his hands weren't cut by the sword. No normal human could have such durability but haru wasn't even using magic to enhance his body, just pure brute force.
Haru was fighting like he wants to kill a person. His killing intent was so strong that the girls were choking on it. Every attacks that Haru cause Touya to be pushed back. Touya was breathing hard while countering Haru's fist. If it wasn't for the gift that the goddess bestowed upon him and the sword that Haru gave him, he would have already been turned to dust.
"Why do you have to do this?"
"..."
Touya kept preaching to Haru while countering the attacks. He knew that Haru did this for training but he doesn't understand why killing was the only choice he have. He could always defeat his enemies, is what he thought. Haru only remained silent as he attack Touya.
"If you won't kill, then, i make you kill someone."
As Haru said that, he had disappear from Touya's sight. Touya knew what he meant and quickly rushed over to the girls. But it was too late.
"Gah!"
"Ugh!"
"Kya!"
The girls were blown away by Haru. Touya was shocked that he had punched the girls. The girls didn't move after the impact.
"Moka! Yumiko! Miaka!"
Touya quickly rush towards the girls. As he check each of the girls, he found that their hearts...stopped. Haru only remained silent as Touya started to teared up.
"Why.... why did you have to do this?"
"Because your weak. You couldn't those around you."

"Grrrrarrrrgh!!!!!"
Touya was enraged. Haru did it. He killed them. Emotions welled on Touya's mind as power started to surge from him. Haru smiled as he knew Touya unlocked his limit.
'Limit Exceed' this was what had Haru experience firsthand. It was the skill that gained after his mental capacity snapped. Touya's power had greatly increase after seeing the girls died in front of him. As he charge, his speed had doubled, no, quadrupled his normal speed and punch Haru. Haru cough up blood as the punch landed on him. He was blown away for a few meters before landing. Haru had smiled that his rage will now make him stronger. Haru then summoned a sword form out of nowhere and strike at Touya. They were so fast that any human would turn to dust.
The land was once a beautiful scenery, had turned into a battlefield that it was at war. Many craters were created and the nearby forest was decimated. Their battle have cause so much destruction as the faught.
"Hahahaha, com'on, com'on, you can do better than that asshole. Stronger, stronger, have hatred to kill me, Touya!"
Haru kept provoking touya as his clothes started to shred. On his body, countless scars, burns and stiches were seen. It was like he had countless wars that he had face. He face touya with a smile as he was now preparing to end.
The two had seperated. Touya was breathing heavily as he faught like a wild beast. Haru was laughing meniacly as he stared at Touya.
"Great, just fucking great. Now, let's fucking end this Touya!"
"Grrraa!!"
The two charge as they now going to finished the fight. They now position their swords into a stab as they were aiming at the heart. The girls started to wake up to only see the conclusion...

Both the swords had reach each other. On Touya's perspective, it had pierce through Haru's heart. But...
Haru didn't even aimed at Touya's heart. He shifted his aim, only hit Touya's arm. Haru cough up large amounts of blood as he hugged Touya.
"You fucking passed..."
"Master!!"
As haru started to fall to the ground, Miaka quickly rushed to him. Touya snapped out and realise what he had done. He saw Miaka, hugging Haru as blood started leave him. The girls quickly rush towards towards them. Moka started to use magic to heal Haru's wounds but his face was white. It only healed his wounds but blood won't return.
Touya was shaking so hard that he had killed someone.
"Touya!"
"!"
Touya awoke by Haru's shout as he stared at him.
"Touya, don't be a fucking pussy. You did the right thing."
"Did i do the right thing? I almost killed you."
Touya glared at Haru but his hands are soaked with blood. He now becomes a murderer, the one thing he musn't be. He started to shiver by thinking about it. But Haru rebuke him
"You wish to protect someone. Even if you can't someone, you want to protect someone close to you. A hero isn't to save the world, that is the savior's job. A hero is to protect someone close to you. Ugh..."
"Master!"
Haru was now weaken as he smiled at Touya. Miaka tried to stop him but he still continued.
"Just...don't...becom..e...like...me..."
The last words Haru said as he light started to appear. His body faded...

Colossus of Catastrophe
A world where he's stuck in a game like setting. Sign him up! Except that Lazarus found himself stuck in a cave with nothing but glowing crystals and the skittering of rats. And according to the glowing blue box he'd been affected by unforeseen circumstances and transported to the world of Zara. What the hell was that?! He didn't like caves at all! He didn't get any powers! Only this blue box fixed in front of him... Hello this book will be a lit-rpg in a fantasy world. It will be primarily action and adventure.

He will be somewhat of an antihero but more in the sense that Lazarus will be free. I'm not the most experienced writer, but I would love feedback to improve. Thank you for reading!
