Chapter 300 – Maybe I Don’t Have To
The tornadoes whipped wildly, lifting up debris and even some people in the process. They screamed loudly as they flew around in the air suffering an unfortunate fate. However, as violent as the tornadoes were, it did not concern Mark.
He had fully revealed the six horns on his head, showcasing both his power and his status as a demon.
As the tornadoes got closer, he simply stuck out his hands. Right when they were about to reach him, they distorted.
The tornadoes twisted as though they were grabbed, completely losing their original shape. However, they were not canceled out. Instead, they shot towards the ground before pulling up once more. Large amounts of dirt flew up into the air, almost like a tidal wave was forming.
And that shot towards the wind elemental.
In response, the wind elemental let out a loud screech, trying to retake control over the winds. However, while the waves distorted, they still plunged towards the wind elemental. All of the dirt ended up colliding straight into it. But the dirt only began revolving around it.
In the end, there was no visible damage done.
Mark narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.
"Hmm… So it\'s true that elementals are completely immune to their respective element. I need to hit it with something stronger."
And so, the two of them entered a stalemate. While Mark could easily overpower the winds of the elemental, he also wasn\'t able to harm it significantly.
Apollo noticed the fight going on above. However, he ignored it. Although he was definitely startled by the sudden shift of the island, for him, it was more of a boon as opposed to anything else.
After all, it became far easier to kill people that could hardly fight back.
He rushed over to a rabbit person that was hanging from a house and a guard that got his leg caught in the doorway of the same house. The rabbit person got excited when he saw Apollo.
"The angel is here! Please save me, your loyal follower, and kill the member of the council."
A voice rang out in Apollo\'s head.
"What is he talking about? Since when did he follow us? Why is he lying! He is lying, right?"
Apollo smiled.
"Yes."
The rabbit person smiled, thinking he was being saved. However, the voice in Apollo\'s head seemed to get angry.
"Why do they listen now? They only listen when it\'s easy for them!"
His eyes began to widen as he approached the rabbit person. Seeing this, the rabbit person got a little afraid. However, he soon calmed down. After all, the angel promised to save him, right?
The guard that had been paying attention to this conversation began falling into despair. However, before he could think about running away, he saw something that made his jaw drop.
With a giggle, Apollo poked at the hand that the rabbit person was using to hold onto the sword. This immediately made that person panic.
"A-Angel! What are you doing? I need this to stay up!"
Apollo began to laugh.
"I am just… saving you."
His bokken flashed, while two fingers of the rabbit person came off. A grimace of pain rang out, however the rabbit was still holding onto the sword.
…If he did let go, there would be little to prevent him from falling off. And so, despite losing most of his fingers, the rest clenched on tightly, whitening under the pressure.
"Please angel! Don\'t do this!"
Apollo let out a suppressed giggle.
"Do what? This?"
He lightly pressed the tip of his bokken onto the rabbit person\'s finger. Then, he used more force, until he penetrated into the skin, making it bleed. As this happened, the rabbit person desperately pleaded.
"But we are on the same side, angel? Why?"
He could no longer keep holding on with that finger due to the pain. His grasp slowly loosened, until his hand let go of the sword altogether.
Apollo\'s eyes widened significantly as the rabbit person screamed and fell off.
"You were never on my side. None of you were on my side. For so long, there were so many people around me, but I was still alone. Always alone."
For a moment, the guard thought that maybe this angel was actually on their side. After all, he had just killed one of the people that were supposed to be his enemies.
It… It made sense, right?
The guard had one last thought.
Oh, he was on nobody\'s side.
As a lightning bolt came straight for his skull and pierced through it entirely.
Like this, Apollo went around killing the people in this city. He didn\'t care if they were guilty, if they were a little kid, or if they expressed kindness to him.
Like a mantra, he continued to chant several things, but their meaning came down to one thing.
"None of you were willing to help me."
As for Eden, she wasn\'t able to match Apollo\'s pace. However, she collected the dead bodies where she could by consuming them with her black flesh. Although Eden did not fully understand what doing such an action would entail, it gave her a sense of satisfaction.
Thus, she continued, even if that meant she had to kill the people herself.
As Mark continued to combat the wind elemental, using any nearby debris he could to attack it, he sighed.
"It appears I can only slowly wear it down… then I should be able to harvest it."
It was at this time, Apollo began charging towards a certain girl.
Suki.
She was currently on the side of a wall, practicing her swordsmanship. Under normal circumstances, practicing one\'s swordsmanship wasn\'t strange.
However, it was quite strange to be casually doing it in the middle of a natural disaster where one\'s life could be forfeit with one small misstep.
Apollo didn\'t care about Suki\'s suicidal tendencies or about the moments they shared together before. He fully intended on killing her.
And so, he shot forth.
However, Mark ended up looking at Apollo.
"….Maybe I don\'t have to slowly wear it down."
