Chapter 54 - Real Betrayal

[THE LAST OF THEM]

(SCENE)

James finishes his fight with Albet and comes out victorious. Albert is left dumbfounded and almost begs for mercy, but decides otherwise, as he knows none would be shown to him even if he does beg.

James takes a second of think about what to do next. After what felt like an eternity for Albert, James thinks of something adequate and asks Albert some questions. Albert doesn't answer at first, but James threatens him with something so personal that Albert has no choice but to agree and answer James's questions.

James asked Albert basic questions and general things about his old comrade, and Albery answered all of them to the best of his ability, so much so that James had a better Idea of where to find the remaining three people whom he use to call comrades and friends, however even with the information, hr didn't think of acting hasty as he might end up losing if he were to do so.

James asked Albert more and got an answer, then proceeded to kill Albert and take his soul, but he didn't destroy it or even mess around with it much; he simply kept it on him and made sure Albert was still somewhat conscious, so that he could show him what true despair was. 

(SCENE)

James left the village with Anya and went back to where they stayed. 

James went to wash himself and rest after getting back, whereas Anya went to make food before bathing.

After some time had passed, the night came. James snuck out and went a little ways away to a town not so far from where he was.

James flew there using his body modification ability to make wings, and went to find someone he knew quite well from the old days of him being a proper adventurer with his friends from the time.

After a couple of minutes, James made it to a village a little ways away and began searching around before eventually finding the person that he was looking for.

When James found the person he was looking for, he grinned from ear to ear, as he knew that what he was about to do would allow Albert to feel the pain that he felt the day he was betrayed by him and the others he used to call friends.

(SCENE)

James snuck into a building nd entered the room where the person he was looking for happened to be.

James took out Albert's soul and immediately felt the anger radiating from him, as he was in a place he promised Albert he wouldn't be if he were to give himinformation aboutf the others who betrayed him; however, James knew that the only way to really get back at those who betrayed him was to do the same to them.

James had no reason to one hundred percent believe the information that was given to him by Albert, so he didn't plan on keeping his word to Albert in the slightest, even if all he said was true.

James found the person he was looking for sleeping in a bed within the room he was in and kidnapped them.

James took them to the dungeon he was at with Anya, and they happened to wake up along the way; however, they had no means to fight back, and eventually exhausted themselves.

After some time, James eventually made it back to the dungeon and tied the person he kidnapped up before making preparations.

The person James abducted eventually woke up, but by that time, they were already tied up and left hanging in some random area of the dungeon.

James made a temporary body to place Albert's soul in, using stones and random parts from monsters his slain, but made sure Albert could move to any capacity, but could see clearly.

James took out his sword and slowly started cutting away and torturing the person he had abducted, and made sure Albert watched it the whole way through, so he would be taught a lesson as to why betraying others only leads to oneself feeling the most pain.

Albert begged James and asked him to stop, and let the person he abducted go, however James just kept going, until they eventually died, and Alberts soul slowly started to wither, as its very soul power was being destroyed due to the shock that he faced, from watching the only person he loved weather he was dead or alive, die such a grusome death, right infront of his eyes, even if he was just a soul with no body.

James laughed as he saw Albert's soul start to deteriorate, and chose to make it slightly worse, as he also took the person he just murdered's soul, and started breaking it apart, piece by piece, until it was mere dust to be blown away with the empty void that is.

James had enough fun after doing Albert wrong, and went back to his residence, before deciding on what to do next as the days went by, and his hatred for others, amongst other things, grew stronger and stronger.

James took his time getting back, and just thought of how he would oh so sweetly get his revenge on those who had done him wrong.
