《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 23. Hatred.
Advertisement
I head back to my county and when I reach the gates... I don't like the sight of it... I see... Nothing. Everything has been burned to the ground.... I was only gone for two weeks! Kaylessa and Acila look at the sight with worry. I put Kaylessa down and start rummaging through the rubble. I only find one living being and no bodies or anything. Only one cat-eared maid. Suzu.
Suzu: "Q..Quinn... You... Finally... Came..."
She coughs out a lot of blood.
Quinn: "Suzu! Are you okay?! What happened here?!"
Suzu: "The...The king... He... Came... With an army.... And took everybody... Prisoner... I ran and hid in the manor... They burned it down with me inside... We couldn't... Protect them... We couldn't... Protect the manor... While you were... Gone..."
She stops breathing. It's the damn king.... I should've known that if he didn't do anything to me he would do something to the girls! And I thought they were powerful enough to take down the royals in a fight but that damn king actually got the support of the others to take me down!
Kaylessa: "This... Used to be your... Manor?"
Quinn: "Yes."
I look around and see a big shield on the wall with my coat of arms on it. It's undamaged even in this amount of rubble. I pick it up and put it on my back making sure it doesn't hinder me at all. I'll find the bastard and shove his own body parts right down his throat... Right down to his stomach making sure he is dead and can't be brought back ever...
I walk towards Kaylessa and pick her up in a princess carry surprising her. My... Masked... Self comes back. I become worried. What did the King do to them? There were so many of them here but they all were taken care of... I start running. My speed is faster than usual. A strangely large bloodlust surrounds me. I look at Kaylessa and see her afraid of my current state. Acila even retreated into my mind when I released my bloodlust because I knew I couldn't keep it in anymore. I keep whispering to myself: "I'll kill them, I'll butcher them, I'll massacare them, I'll... Tear... Them...Apart... I'll shove their eyeballs down their throat..." and such. Within only three hours we reach the Capital. I didn't notice it because I ignored the Keep but it's deffinetly fortified to the brim. They tried to make it into the strongest fortress into the world. There are a lot of guards ontop with bows and all the royal guards are guarding the doors. The moment I appear infront of them I put Kaylessa down. I stare at them with my bloodlust showing. They try to stab me even though they are afraid. I grab the spears and show it down their throats as far as I could. I then picked up one of the bodies with a spear inside of it and threw it to the top of the keep. The archers scream as they see the man. I jump up to the archers and grab one of them by the neck and another one by the leg. There were thirty spearmen before the gate and there are fifty archers here. This is no army. I smash the guy who I caught by the leg into the roof breaking his neck. I make the other guys neck pop straight off before massacaring all the archers. I then break the roof from one small spot and fall down right in the middle of the keep. I never actually noticed how big the keep is. It's enough to hold an entire army. And that they did. An entire army is inside the keep waiting for me. When I fell down I had a huge grin on my face. If they didn't know who I was they would mistake me for the Devil himself. The king is arrogantly sitting on his throne. I notice thin strings of magic coming out of his body. He broke out of fear and somebody took control of him huh? I also notice the three girls behind him all bruised and wounded.

I laugh at the sight of an arrogant king. Arrogance only gets you killed. Especially if you are weak. The army is crumbling under my intense bloodlust but some are fighting back against it and trying to get up. I stare at the king who is obviously being controlled and has no control over his mind or body. The girls are unconcious so I don't have to worry about them seeing what I am about to do. I release all the pressure on the soldiers to give them SOME chance. I still let my bloodlust loose but just without the crushing pressure what comes with it. They can either stand up and die or stand down and still die. Because they messed with the wrong person. The wrong monster of this world. I use my mana sense to detect how many people are in here. About... Two million? Damn this keep is big. No matter. They all shall die.
My already big grin grows even bigger influencing the mask making a really dark grin appear on it too. I stare at the king before appearing infront of him.
Quinn: "King, look at this army. You caused the massacare what is about to happen. Well I should say the one who is controlling you caused the scene what is about to happen."
I look towards the army.
Quinn: "Those who want to escape. There is no escape from my wrath. There is only death. Only pain."
With those words I jumped into the middle of the mass and start swinging my blade around what I unsheathed while I was jumping. I could crush them all with bare fists but that would take too long. With each of my swings I take atleast ten of them down instantly and wound atleast forty. They also bump into eachother causing others to fall down and be trampled. That's the problem here, this keep is packed full. I wonder where the royal family is? The Queen didn't break under fear. I also wonder why they took everybody but Jenica from the Royal Family. Ah too many questions. I'll control this world and find out then. I'll find out when none oppose me. None decide to... Stand against my wishes. I massacare them for hours. I took my time because... I wanted to. I wanted them to feel fear, to feel pain, to feel powerless in the face of a true monster. You cannot call me anything but a monster anymore. Kaylessa tried to open the keep doors but they were being blocked by a huge amount of people and bodies. I swing my blade, guts fly out. I swing my blade, legs or arms fly. I swing my blade, heads fly. I swing my blade, blood flies. In the middle of my massacare I noticed that the three girl woke up. They should've stayed unconcious because I was not going to let any of them live. They burned my county. My things! They took the three girls precious to me! They killed a maid of mine! They took all the maids and butlers I had and are probably torturing them for following me! So they all deserve. Death. I laugh during the entire massacare.
There is no escape from a monster. No escape from a mad monster. No escape at all. Only death. Near the end of the massacare I blank out. I lose all control over my actions and see myself just stuffing body parts down their throats or pulling out their eyeball and stuffing it down their throat. I also threw them into each other and some of them I just crushed with sheer power. The only area untouched by my wrath is the are where the girls are at. When my massacare ends I walk towards the King. Only one string remains. I try to track the String and notice that it is connected to... The kingdom of Deanni. Right to the location of the Dungeon King.

The Dungeon King tried to stop me? That shall not happen Dungeon King... I cut off the head of the king and look towards the three girls who are glad to see me but afraid at the same time. I am coated by atleast fifteen layers of blood.
Quinn: "I came to save you didn't I? I'm sorry I came late."
My masked form turns back to my normal one. My ruby hair turns back to it's emerald form that is not coated by blood.
Mirikin: "Atleast you came..."
The Keep Doors open and Kaylessa uses wind magic to fly over all the bodies.
Kaylessa: "Quinn!"
She looks at me and screams.
Mirikin: "Who... Is... That... Quinn?!"
Mirikin and the other two girls look at me furiously. Yeah this really wasn't a good idea to bring Kaylessa with me was it?
She gets up and coms over to punch me.
Quinn: "I can explain! I can deffinetly explain this!"
Mirikin: "Then explain! Why did you bring such a beautiful woman here?! Who is she even!? Did you just find her on your travels back to the Elven Forest and became lovers with her!?"
Quinn: "First of all we are not lovers. We just slept in the same bed. And she is the Queen of the Elves, well... Former queen. Her name is Kaylessa Havioris. And I found her when I was taken prisoner by the elves. And she came with me because she wanted to. She didn't feel safe in the Temple... Don't be mad at me Mirikin... Please..."
Mirikin: "Fine! Just... I want a compensation reward for you bringing in another girl!"
Quinn: "And... Why do you want it?"
Mirikin: "Well... No reason! I just want it!"
Quinn: "What is it then...?"
I sigh and soon after I am kissed by Mirikin.
Mirikin: "That. Is my reward."
Quinn: "Hah... I was saving my first kiss for Mayu but you stole it."
Mirikin: "I'm sure she won't mind."
I know otherwise... I really do... I can feel Mayus anger inside my own mind. It is nothing... Weak.... I'm sure Mayu would beat up her own sister for stealing my first kiss...
Mayu: "I would!"
Oh yeah I forgot you can read my mind.
Acila: "Father... You are scary... Too scary...... Your bloodlust is bigger than anything I have ever seen... Your massacared two million humans with ease..."
Hahah! Well... I do want to become the ruler of this world.
Innver: "And that you shall become. But the Dungeon King got involved personally? Was it to weaken you or strengthen you...?"
We will find out. My next course is straight for the Dungeon King. Hmm... I wonder if I can grow wings if I consume a dragons mana. Well... There is a dragon on the continent. Why not find out?
I fall into deep thought about what dragons wings would look like on my body before I notice that I am kissed again. This time by Kaylessa...
Kaylessa: "I thought it would be fair for me to kiss you if that girl kissed you too..."
Then Jenica approaches me and kisses me too... What is up with this? Shouldn't they be afraid of me and staying away instead of kissing me?
Jenica: "As a reward for saving me."
I wouldn't be too surprised if Akuna would kiss me too. Akuna stands up but comes over to me and clings to my arm.
Akuna: "Never leave me behind ever again! I only took out fifty of them before they took me down by sheer numbers!"
The others cling to me too. I am now surrounded by girls and cannot move. I mean it... I cannot move because I don't want to hurt them.
Quinn: "Umm girls... I cannot move at this rate..."
Akuna lets go but then I feel somebody jumping onto my shoulders. Akuna let go of me just to jump on my shoulders... Jenica lets go and looks at me. Her legs are clearly trembling because I can see that even she was attacked and hurt. The king hurt his own daughter in his fit of rage and being controlled. I pick her up in a princess carry.
I leave the keep leaving behind a blood-filled room what used to sparkle. Now the sparkles are dyed with blood. I call for a carriage and put Jenica in it. I also put Akuna down and the other two sit down themselves. I tell the driver to head towards the Dragon. He looks at me weirdly.
Carriage Driver: "If you want to, buddy. But that is a death wish. And why are you covered in blood?"
I throw a bad of gold at him for his troubles and go back in. Using all my power for so long tired me out so I fall asleep on the floor of the carriage with the girls sleeping on the sides where it's better.
So the Dungeon King finally got involved with me? I thought he wouldn't notice me until I got my core back together. Well... I'll first go and kill the dragon and consume his power. I need all the power I can get to absoloutely destroy the dungeon King. I wonder if I can eat his mana too? Hmm...
I go into deep thought about those and lose all track of time.
------
Next time a fight between a monster and an even bigger monster. Which one is which you decide.
